Despite being the second entry in a soon-to-be trilogy focused on Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule, Age of Calamity quickly abandons any pretense of being a true prequel. Instead, the story presented by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo is akin to a fanfiction describing how Link and his allies could have beaten Calamity Ganon with future sight. Some have argued the game was falsely advertised, and that isn’t completely off-base, but it disregards some of the more interesting aspects to this handling of the story....

That’s the question after Friday’s firing of football coach Tim Beckman a week before the first game of 2015. MORE: 2015 predictions | Road Map to the CFP | Big Ten questions The Illini appeared to be taking another step toward Big Ten respectability this spring. Beckman increased the program’s win total by two each of the past three seasons and made a bowl game in 2014. Despite the loss of All-Big Ten receiver Mike Dudek to a torn ACL, the Illini seemed to be on the up....

Depp, 59, sued Heard, 36, for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post. In the piece, she said she was a domestic abuse survivor. She did not name Depp, but his lawyers argued that it was obvious she was referring to the actor. Heard countersued for $100 million. The Aquaman actress, 36, and Pirates of the Caribbean star, 59, were married from 2015 to 2017....

That fire burned for two decades as Bryant put together one of the greatest careers in NBA history — but something changed as the Lakers legend transitioned from his prime into his twilight years. After spending the bulk of his career restricted to a tight inner circle, Bryant tore down the wall between him and the rest of the league, showing a willingness to open the channels of communication with his opponents....

Regardless of era, though, Hendricks’ efficiency was impressive. In fact, he became just the fifth pitcher since 2000 to record a nine-inning, complete game shutout using 81 or fewer pitches. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN Before Hendricks, Rich Harden, Jon Lieber and Aaron Cook (twice) achieved the feat, according to Baseball Reference Play Index data. Harden was the only one to strike out more than four batters, likely reflecting the need to avoid long counts in order to keep down pitch counts....

The Trail Blazers star is reportedly planning to have surgery to address a “lingering abdominal injury” and will be re-evaluated in several weeks, though it sounds possible that he will be out longer. What’s next for Lillard? Here’s everything we know about his injury and the latest news on when he may return to the court.

In Week 8, Kittle joined a list of injured San Francisco players that includes Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Deebo Samuel, Tevin Coleman, Nick Bosa and Richard Sherman. Kittle’s foot injury is likely to keep him out until the final few weeks of the regular season, if the 49ers can stay in contention that long. It’s not the first time Kittle has dealt with injuries in the area of his left foot/ankle, and although Kittle’s brand is basically playing through anything, San Francisco likely won’t rush him back from this one....

Defensive end Nick Bosa went down in the first quarter of Week 2 against the New York Jets with a left knee injury. It was announced the next day that Bosa suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in that left knee and that he’ll miss the remainder of the season. Bosa was the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. He recorded nine sacks and was a key component of the high-end defense that led the 49ers to the Super Bowl....

That injury was the focal point of the last half of Alabama’s 2019 season, which ended with a 35-16 Citrus Bowl victory over Michigan.

What now? U.S.-China relations had already sunk to a post-cold-war low amid allegations of Chinese espionage and political influence peddling. When the war in Kosovo began in March, Chinese officials accused the United States of seeking global “hegemony.” And when American bombs hit its embassy, killing three Chinese journalists, Beijing accused the United States of trying to bully China with a latter-day version of 19th-century “gunboat diplomacy.” Insisting the attack was “deliberate,” Beijing said it would not talk to the United States about military contacts, international security and trade negotiations until Washington had satisfied four demands: an apology for the bombing, a full investigation, published findings and punishment for those responsible....

The inclusion of the Europa League winner in the main event next season, combined with United’s poor league form which sees it well off the pace of the top-four spots, brings far greater importance to the second-tier European tournament than the Portuguese would normally afford. As such his injury-hit back line has been supplemented by the returning Phil Jones, who hasn’t featured for United in 10 months, but Mourinho will not want to force the England utility man into action on Thursday unless further ailments force his hand, and that could mean further central defense assignments for Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo....

The candidate is 71, “old as dirt,” as he likes to say, and shows it, especially in his hands, which still bear the imprint of his five and a half years of captivity in Hanoi, and in his face, where he suffered a bout with skin cancer several years ago. But he’s thinner, more disciplined; that coiled energy and sharp mind dispel any idea that he should be disqualified for reasons of age....

If you already have a data plan, you can check your wireless bill to see how much data you use in a typical month and decide whether or not you should go to a lower or higher data tier. Otherwise, you can calculate how much mobile data you’ll need to access over a month using the examples below, provided by the major wireless providers in the U.S. (note that these are estimates only and data usage can vary by phone/device and other variables)....

Shroud has consistently shown his incredible skills at games like Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds on Twitch. Shroud and Ninja competed for the top subscribers and views on Twitch, and with both streamers have now on Mixer, it has very quickly acquired two very valuable assets, with large fan bases. RELATED: Overwatch Streamer Breaks Massive Record The big move from Shroud prompts questions about how much Mixer paid the streamer....

Participants of the study were tasked with coming into a lab and moving a lever with all their might for three seconds, five days a week for a month. The research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports in February found their biceps were between six and 12 percent stronger by the end. This is an extreme example of strength training in short bursts, but it raises the question of how effective brief exercise is, say even a minute a day, and what the most efficient way to build muscle might be....

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm takes the vicious lampooning to 2020, a year where the political circus of the Trump era makes satire virtually impossible. This time around, it’s Trump supporters being sent up. From a religious anti-abortion counselor who is unfazed by rape and incest of a minor and a confectioner who doesn’t even flinch when she is asked to pipe “Jews will not replace us” on a cake, to an unethical plastic surgeon, the people he targets are presented as bigots....

The streaming giant announced its plan to roll back its free trials, which have been a staple for the company for the better part of two decades. A Netflix spokesperson told Variety it is “looking at different marketing promotions in the US to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience.” The new strategy is not as likely to be adopted by other streaming services, experts say....
