The two-legged clash between the clubs was always likely to be a spicy affair after Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa admitted spying on the Rams ahead of a league game in January. Leeds fans taunted Lampard with a rendition of Oasis classic Stop Crying Your Heart Out that made reference to the ‘spygate’ row after their 1-0 first-leg victory. But Derby battled back to set up a winner-takes-all meeting with Aston Villa despite falling behind in the return at Elland Road on Wednesday, in a clash in which both sides were reduced to 10 men....

But when the Raiders played their final game in Oakland last year, there was a sense Carr might not make it to Las Vegas as the team’s starter. The team signed Marcus Mariota, bringing competition to the table, and projected minimal public confidence in him. We wrote in December 2019 that Carr had been scapegoated for deeper organizational problems and that he could surprise observers in a less toxic culture....

Derek Carr spoke to reporters at the first day of Las Vegas’ mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. He was asked about Kaepernick, who worked out for the team two weeks ago, and the long-time Raiders starter gave Kaepernick a vote of confidence. “I think he’d be great,” Carr said of Kaepernick’s potential fit in the locker room, per ESPN.

“During the recruiting process, a number of schools didn’t want me because I’m gay,” Gordon told USA Today Sports. “To me, that’s blatant homophobia. At the end of the day, no coaches will ever admit that they don’t want me because I’m gay and there’s baggage that comes with the attention. “Honestly, it caught me off-guard. It really hurt. It had me stressing, crying. I was starting to lose hope....

A special session of the Florida Legislature passed the bill on Thursday and DeSantis chose to sign the bill into law in Brandon, Florida where the crowd chanted “Let’s go Brandon” after the signing ceremony. The chant “Let’s Go Brandon” is actually a code adopted by conservative Republicans for “F*** Joe Biden,” which has recently grown in popularity, the Associated Press reported. Though DeSantis said at a press conference after the signing ceremony that the Tampa suburb was only selected because he thought it was “a great American city and that the people here are fantastic,” his campaign said it chose Brandon as the location for the signing ceremony as a way to challenge the vaccine mandates issued by President Joe Biden’s administration, according to the AP....

First-half goals from Ballon d’Or nominee Antoine Griezmann and Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud got the job done in Paris on Tuesday. France’s road to Russia 2018 included a draw in Belarus, a stalemate with Luxembourg and a defeat to group runners-up Sweden, ensuring relief was one of coach Deschamps’ primary emotions. “We had a difficult course, tonight the match was not simple either, but we reached our goal,” Deschamps, who won the 1998 World Cup as a player, told TF1....

But April seems to be going a lot better for the dynamic wide receiver. He took a nice vacation before joining his new team for involuntary workouts, and attended a party in his name to welcome him to Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, the Huxley, a popular club in Washington, D.C. held a "Welcome to DC Party" for DeSean Jackson, and with Moet & Chandon as the title sponsor, Jackson got to feast on a bottle of champagne the size of a lunar rover....

The biggest question: What's next for an undeniably talented player set free by his team? As Jackson wrangles through allegations of gang connections in Los Angeles — something he denies — L.A. police said they aren't sure there are links between him and hoods back home in the City of Angels. How does Jackson prove it? That will be difficult. While we are a society that believes everyone is innocent until proven guilty, the stain of allegation is indelible....

The Texans gave Watson a four-year, $156 million deal in early September. The Chiefs locked up Mahomes for a decade with a record-breaking 10-year, $45 million deal in early July. Although it seems like Mahomes got a lot more money and security than Watson, both QBs agreed on what was best for them going forward. Mahomes has the more guaranteed money overall from Kansas City, but there also are some ways Watson has an advantage in Houston....

It’s been a smooth ride for the left-hander since mid-June. “I’ve been trying to hold that feeling and keep on going with that,” Freeland said. “See how long I can ride it out.” Ian Desmond tripled and drove in five runs, Freeland pitched six strong innings and the Colorado Rockies coasted to an 11-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. The Rockies have won six of seven, and they’re 28-14 since June 28, tops in the NL over that span....

“I was depressed,” Mila, whose name has been changed for privacy reasons, tells Verywell. “I felt unhappy with myself and who I was becoming, and I couldn’t do anything about it.” Mila lives in California and her family is from Afghanistan. “In our culture, we have belly dancers, and they’re naturally curvy and everybody loves them for that; they admire that,” Mila says. “But then also there’s a side of my culture that is like, ‘No surgery....

In the opening cinematic of The Taken King expansion, the Queen, Mara Sov, and her forces are engaged in a grand space battle with Oryx, the titular villain of the expansion. Things quickly turn South for Sov and it appears as though she is destroyed by a giant blast. The Destiny community has said the lore from the game (known as the Grimoire) hints that she still lives, but today Bungie confirmed it to be true—the Queen of the Reef is alive....

For those that want to know more about Destiny: Rise of Iron, the information is now out there, but it requires a little bit of digging. For example, we now know all of the new unclassified exotic weapons that will be added to the game on September 20th, including that mysterious exotic weapon that appeared in preview coverage last week. That being said, there are some players who want to stay pure when it comes to Rise of Iron, and for those players we must give a spoiler warning....

Now, Bungie is trying to help players understand why ritual weapons are no longer part of the core Destiny 2 experience, and again it’s part of a trade-off. Because Trials of Osiris’ return has put demands for its own loot pool of weapons and gear, Bungie had to make the tough choice not to offer any new ritual weapons for Season of the Worthy.

As such, a great source of additional content comes from reprised elements from the past, which is particularly doable with Destiny 2 due to it being the successor to Destiny. Reprising content is not as easy as one would think, and according to the Game Director at Bungie for Destiny 2, Joe Blackburn, everything often goes through a lot of iterations and adjustments to better match the current sandbox and meta....

The home of the Guardians in the Last City is the Tower, a vast fortress that overlooks the metropolis.
