It’s an even more brag-worthy occasion should that kickoff split the uprights at the other end of the field. It actually happened Sunday in Oakland as Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski sailed a kickoff between the goalposts during Oakland’s 35-32 win over the Panthers. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, who has 35 touchbacks this season, thinks there should be a reward for that combination of power and accuracy. MORE: Week 13 Power Rankings...

Ravi shot 224.1 to finish third on the podium at the Belmont Shooting Centre. Australia’s Dane Sampson took home the gold medal with 245.0, much to the pleasure of the home fans, while Abdullah Hel Baki of Bangladesh bagged the silver with 244.7.

As analysts had suspected, it was “Chicago’s” morning. The movie received 13 Oscar nominations, including an almost unheard-of four nominations in the acting categories (for Best Actress, Renee Zellweger; for Best Supporting Actor, John C. Reilly; and for Best Supporting Actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah). That wide swath of nominees highlighted the year’s biggest snub: How did Richard Gere get overlooked in the Best Actor category for that film?...

Sunrisers will face Rajasthan Royals at home two days later to begin their campaign in the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League. “I prefer batting at the top but I have kept rotating in terms of my batting position. With SRH, I will probably bat in the lower middle order. We have great openers (Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner) so they will do well.

It’s because of how our parties have shifted on the issue. During my time in the military, it was obvious that most people considered themselves conservative. What that meant, however, wasn’t quite so clear. We didn’t exactly poll the forces on their interpretation of new conservative goalposts like abortion or gun rights (though it was clear how most felt about the latter), but the consensus was that liberal equals bad....
