But the two-time FedEx Cup champion didn’t improve on his score, which is something he’ll need to do over the weekend if he wants to play out the rest of the season. Woods finished with a second consecutive round of 1-under (71) — good for a tie for 44th place when he ended his round. He saw a few highlights including an approach shot to set up a short birdie putt on the par-4 11th hole....

She reprised her role once again in Star Wars Rebels, but it was when The Mandalorian came onto the scene that she finally got to build a solid foundation for her character....
Lewandowski and Aubameyang are widely regarded as the best attackers in the Bundesliga, accounting for a combined 55 top-flight goals last season — the Poland international scoring five more with a tally of 30. Although Aubameyang has converted four more times than the Bayern star in the current campaign, Boateng thinks Lewandowski is the superior player. “It is hard to say who is the better player of the two,” Boateng told reporters ahead of Saturday’s encounter between them at the Signal Iduna Park....

And Boateng posted a positive injury update to social media on Friday, confirming he has returned to training....
The winner (with an asterisk) of the 2021 Kentucky Derby failed a post-race drug test, the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the famed horse trainer, and there are doubts whether the colt will run in this weekend’s Preakness Stakes. When asked whether his horse would be running in the second leg of the horse racing Triple Crown, Baffert admitted he hadn’t heard anything official yet, and he quickly pivoted to blame Churchill Downs’ statement and the horse’s failed test on a “different America” and “cancel culture....

“The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn’t accept,” Bolton writes in his forthcoming book, The Room Where It Happened, according to The New York Times. Bolton was referring to what he saw as the president’s willingness to “give personal favors to dictators he liked,” mentioning specific instances involving Turkey and China. He said he raised his concerns with Barr directly. Newsweek reached out to the White House and the Justice Department for comment but did not hear back before publication....

Bonucci limped out of Juve’s 1-1 draw with Lyon in the Champions League on Wednesday and underwent tests to ascertain the extent of his injury. As Allegri’s side prepares to visit Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi - a stadium where it has won seven of its last eight matches - on Sunday, Bonucci’s fitness has become a major concern. “Having been substituted in the second half of Wednesday’s draw with Les Gones [Lyon], Leonardo Bonucci underwent tests which revealed a recurrence of an injury previously sustained to his left thigh,” a club statement read....
To that end, props we don’t typically see are being hung at the town’s sports books. “I tried to be a little creative,” the South Point’s Jimmy Vaccaro told The Linemakers on Sporting News. “It’s hard with boxing, there’s only so much you can do besides the usual. … I did put up a couple (of props) that have been drawing some attention.” The traditional ways to bet boxing are on the money-line and OVER/UNDER on the number of rounds the fight will last, with that total often set at 11....
This previously unpublished manuscript, clearly written in the 1850s, was recently bought by Harvard’s Henry Louis Gates (no relation); he thinks it may be the first novel by an African-American woman. And if Crafts was who she claims to be in the book, it’s the only novel we have by a female fugitive slave. Gates hasn’t yet tracked down the real-life Crafts–he has candidates–but his introduction (and the appended report by a document specialist) leaves no doubt of its age....

I chose three teams from each conference that I think have the biggest volatility, meaning the differential I could see in terms of their win-loss ratio. Some of these might be due to uncertainty at specific positions, while others are about explosive personalities or injury concerns. Therefore, I did not include up-and-coming teams like the Browns and 49ers, who I think very highly of, and no teams that I expect to bounce back after bad 2018 seasons – like the Jaguars and Falcons....
