Most of the cops in the little squad headed by Sgt. John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) decline to volunteer to go into the buildings, but a few, including Jimeno (Michael Peña), step forward. The men are obviously frightened, especially when they hear the sickening thump of bodies falling around them....

The ongoing legal battle over whether the military can force troops to get the jab has left the ship docked in Norfolk, Virginia. U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday issued an order last month banning the Navy and Marine Corps from taking any disciplinary action against the unnamed Navy warship commander and a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel for refusing to get the vaccine. Merryday granted a preliminary injunction barring the Navy from requiring the commander or the lieutenant colonel to take the vaccine or issuing “any punitive or retaliatory measure against [them] pending a final judgment in the case,” according to Stripes and Stars....

At the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup parade, Kadri wore a shirt with him and his teammates celebrating his Game 4 overtime goal against the Lightning, but it was the caption of “Too Many Men” underneath that really pulled it all together. It’s a perfect troll job by Kadri, referencing Lightning coach Jon Cooper complaining after the game that his game-winning goal should not have counted since he believed the Avalanche had too many men on the ice....
BOSTON, Mass — Teams in the National Basketball Association draft in the reverse order of their won-lost records at the end of each season. It is a gimmick designed to produce a leveling-off process whereby the weaker clubs get first shot at the top college players and the stronger teams take what is left. But it isn’t an infallible system because the human element is involved. Coaches and general managers still have to guess who the best players are....

This year will be different. NBA TOP 100 RANKINGS: 1-19 | 20-39 | 40-59 | 60-79 | 80-100 The Rockets, after some roster upheaval, figure to come down a bit in the standings this season, and Harden will have a hard time matching his impact from last season. That’ll hurt his candidacy. And when looking at MVP, we’ve bypassed the usual suspects to find a guy who has not won the award to this point, and whose team probably won’t even be top four in its conference....
While the first game on TNT’s docket is an NBA Finals rematch, Miami is without two key pieces from last year’s championship series: Chris Bosh, who is out for the rest of season with blood clots on his lung , and LeBron James, who is no longer with the team.

Former Kentucky forward Kevin Knox was the latest victim of this tactic when an unnamed team questioned him about his nonexistent child. MORE: SN’s final 2018 mock draft Not that this line of questioning had any viable strategy to begin with, but the team seemed unprepared for Knox to call its bluff. Regardless of Knox’s answer, it would have had no discernable value in determining his NBA potential. If the identity of the team comes out, it should make fans a bit uneasy about its talent evaluation and draft strategy....

Many basketball observers, though, believe Minnesota would be making a mistake by taking Towns instead of Jahlil Okafor, and the Duke prospect is available at 4-to-1 odds to be the top overall pick.
