Former world number one Spieth finished tied-12th at the Dell Technologies Championship but failed to improve on that in difficult conditions at the BMW Championship. The Texan, without a win this season, shot a one-over 71 in Philadelphia on Friday and the decision to move the final round to Monday, rather than stop it at 54 holes due to inclement weather, offered him another chance to climb the FedEx Cup playoff rankings....
After missing his third cut in his last four starts last week at the AT&T Byron Nelson, Spieth is looking for a turnaround in fortunes. “This is a great spot to kind of start a new momentum train and get off the bogey train I’ve been on,” Spieth told a news conference on Wednesday. Despite his poor recent form, Spieth – now ranked seventh in the world – believes better finishes are on the horizon....
And it was amazing to me how these white movie critics would lament about the destruction of Sal’s Famous Pizzeria–and in no way ever mention the death of Radio Raheem. For me, this film was a real litmus test. You could just read the review and see exactly where the critics were. And I understand it because in their eyes, the property–this glass, tile, wood, metal, whatever it is, this white-owned property–that’s more important than the life of a young black hoodlum....
SpongeBob did make an appearance, but it was very brief and “Sweet Victory” wasn’t played — something fans petitioned for as a tribute to the late Stephen Hillenburg. Instead, there was a new animation at the beginning with Squidward (whose voice actor confirmed he’d be involved) followed by the old animation of the trumpets blowing, introducing the song. The short video introduced Travis Scott performing “Sicko Mode” and, just like that … SpongeBob was gone....

The mission is called Inspiration4, and though some of the four-member team have experience with planes or rocket science, none have been to space before. Yet they will spend around three days straight with one another, packed inside SpaceX’s slightly modified 27-by-13-foot Dragon capsule. The team consists of Hayley Arceneaux, a bone cancer survivor and physician assistant at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital; Chris Sembroski, an Air Force veteran and aerospace industry professional who once maintained intercontinental ballistic missiles; and Sian Proctor, a pilot, geoscientist and finalist for the 2009 NASA Astronaut Program....
Alvaro Morata’s first-half strike was canceled out by Robert Lewandowski after the break, although Gerard Moreno spurned a good opportunity to win the clash for Spain from a penalty. The draw leaves La Roja third in the group with just two points from as many games while Poland remain at the bottom with a solitary point. Luis Enrique’s side were below par once again and struggled to assert their dominance in the match despite holding a lion’s share of possession....
The Chelsea striker admitted this week that he is beginning to feel increasingly relaxed with the rest of the squad following a difficult first three years as a Spain international. Donnarumma crowned NxGn winner Costa failed to find form in their poor 2014 World Cup campaign and was omitted from the squad for Euro 2016 after poor performances in the 2015-16 season. However, the 28-year-old - who has scored 17 Premier League goals this season to fire Chelsea towards the title - has hit three in his last three appearances on the international stage, and Lopetegui has been delighted by what he has seen of late....
