After putting together an all-time contract year, the free agent slugger is sure to have some big-spending teams hot after his services for the foreseeable future. Rumors indicate the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees could all be in the hunt to sign the slugger. Of course, a signing won’t be cheap, nor will it be short: After Judge turned down a seven-year, $213.5 million contract on Opening Day this season, his new deal is expected to reset the market for outfielders and keep him very, very paid for the foreseeable future....

NFL QBs typically reinvent themselves as they age, and the same can be said of their looks. For those advertising checks to keep cashing and the marketing opportunities to roll in, it’s wise for QBs to develop their own sense of style through the years. Enter Aaron Rodgers. The Packers quarterback is long, long removed from the 2005 NFL Draft, when his look was representative of a long-lost *NSync member who may have spent too much time gelling up his hair in the hotel bathroom, missing the tour bus, ultimately forgotten about....

The quarterback stepped into the shoes of the late Alex Trebek on Monday night and has not held back from admitting he wants to stay behind the podium full time. “I’m not shy at all about saying I want the job,” 37-year-old Rodgers said following the episode in an interview with The Ringer. Although he admitted he wouldn’t quit football to do the job, Rodgers, 37, thinks he can fit the filming schedule around his NFL duties....

The runs that he made gave the SA bowlers the substance to bowl at, and the runs that those bowlers gave away were countered, at times successfully, at other times unsuccessfully. But at most times he took the team out of the pit and dragged it to a position of respectability. De Villiers batted South Africa to the World Cup semi-final before they were the fallen heroes in a clash of titans....

The former home of the Lions and Pistons will be demolished in 2016 after a six-month-long attempt to sell the building, the Detroit Free Press reported. MORE: Dilapidated venue’s sad demise | BMX rider’s Silverdome stunt Built in 1975 for $55.7 million, the Silverdome, in suburban Pontiac, Mich., was most recently home to the Lions but has been vacant since they relocated in 2002 to a more urban setting at Ford Field in downtown Detroit....

Abdelhak Nouri. Abdelhak Nouri. Abdelhak Nouri. Read it, say it out aloud, repeat it thrice… isn’t that how must of us memorise answers for one of those quirky questions we are sure will pop up for your next Quiz? Abdelhak Nouri. That name is the answer to a quite morbid question, the kind that most good quizmasters like to pop out regularly – “Name the 20-year-old footballer who collapsed on a football pitch, was airlifted to hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with having suffered from serious, permanent, brain damage....

Depending on what’s causing your bloating, it can come on suddenly or gradually. In some cases, it can come and go, or persist for a period of time. It can present as a feeling of indigestion or a tight abdomen, but some people can visually see that their belly is distended or their clothes feel too tight around the middle. This article outlines conditions that can cause abdominal bloating, when to talk to a healthcare provider about your symptoms, and the tests they’ll use to reach a diagnosis....

Despite this terrifying news and all the thick smoke and debris in my yard, I figured the fire was still a good 15 or so miles to the north of us. I was concerned, especially for folks I know who live up there, but was calm. I told my wife, “Let’s pack up our cars. You know, just in case. Better safe than sorry.” As we packed, the news got worse: the fire was now racing southward down the Interstate 15 corridor; it was now heading right toward us....

Saifullah wore number ‘9’ on his back while representing the Lakshadweep team at the Subroto Cup International Football Tournament 2016, where his side was in a very tough group which included four other teams in Pool A – Manipur, Assam, Maharashtra, and Reliance FYC. The island team did not have the best of tournaments as they lost all their four games, starting with a 2-0 loss against Maharashtra. Even though the school team from Lakshadweep failed to win any of their four games, the talent in their side was there for all to see – Saifullah was one of the many talented young players on show for them....

Today we’ve largely forgotten yellow fever, but a gripping new book, “The American Plague” by Molly Caldwell Crosby, could help remedy that. In an account that’s highly readable (if short on scientific detail), Crosby chronicles the history of the disease, which still afflicts an estimated 200,000 people around the world and is viewed by U.S. officials as a potential bioterror threat. Crosby dwells on two epi- sodes–the 1878 epidemic that crippled Memphis and the efforts of Walter Reed, the famed U....

Depending on how Khmer Rouge strongman Pol Pot plays his hand, that could be an understatement. Already his forces have massacred Vietnamese civilians and openly attacked U.N. workers, killing or injuring 56. They have confiscated Cambodians’ voting cards and warned people not to go to the polls; U.N. election workers have been barred entirely from the 20 percent of the country that the Khmer Rouge controls. U.N. intelligence reports say the rebels have built up their force of 7,000 to 10,000 guerrillas by distributing new weapons and moving units close to population centers....

Aaqib, who had earlier rejected an offer by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to be the full-time bowling coach of the national side citing his commitments with Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars as their director of cricket operations , is currently in Mirpur after accepting the BCB invite to conduct a specialised High-Performance camp for fast bowlers. “I think it is a lack of role models,” Aaqib said when quizzed about the lack of genuine fast bowling greats in the country till now....

Somehow, Donald has been able to make himself seem even more terrifying this offseason, thanks to a recent training video. Yes, that is one of the best defensive players in the NFL practicing his moves off the line against someone holding knives. MARVEZ: Signings, OBJ rumors part of Rams’ new vision It’s not clear whether this is a run-of-the-mill training session for Donald. If it is, then it helps explain how he has been able to dominate offensive lines over the years and record 11 sacks and five forced fumbles last season....

As Harrison was going up to receive an alley-oop pass from his twin brother Andrew, Tigers star Johnny O’Bryant raced upcourt in an effort to defend Aaron. The resulting contact was not pretty, as O'Bryant inadvertently undercut Aaron and caused Aaron to hit the back of his head hard on the Rupp Arena floor. Despite the fall, Harrison amazingly and somewhat surprisingly stayed in the game to take his two foul shots, making both of them....

The Yankees outfielder is at 61 home runs and counting, but he’s also looking for another exceptionally rare achievement: The Triple Crown. Just one Triple Crown has been won since Carl Yastrzemski with the Red Sox in 1967; Miguel Cabrera achieved the feat in 2012 with the Tigers. Judge has flown onto the Triple Crown scene in a year where it looked like the National League might produce a leader in batting average, home runs and runs batted in....

The power couple — OK, mainly Rodgers — donned Star Wars costumes and flicked it up on Instagram on Friday. MORE: Classic Aaron Rodgers photos | ‘Star Wars’ in sports The film comes out Dec. 18 nationwide.
