Dontrelle Willis will make his latest attempt to return to the major leagues with the Brewers, who agreed Wednesday to a minor league contract with the veteran pitcher. ESPN.com reported the deal , which includes an invitation to major league spring training, and noted that it came a day after Willis threw for a number of scouts . Though Willis’ rise to stardom with the Marlins came more than a decade ago, and he hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2011, the left-hander just turned 33 last week....

Doping is a serious issue and in the world of sports, it has become some something of a ‘hard to fight’ cancer. The doping menace does not affect only a single sport. While the recent scandals involving famous personalities like Lance Armstrong, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay rocked their respective fields, the after effects of these scandals do not stop there. When a doping scandal surfaces in one discipline, it casts doubts over the fair conduct of the players belonging to other disciplines as well....

Robert Lewandowski‘s brace and Marco Reus‘ free kick goal Tuesday smoothed the way for BVB’s crucial victory in group F of Europe’s top-flight competition, reports Xinhua. Both sides were in need of a win as they had lost their group openers. Olympique de Marseille had pleasant associations with the hosts as they defeated the Germans twice to eliminate them from the Champions League. However, Dortmund impressed from kick-off with their offensively minded strategy to keep uninspired Marseille busy....

Almost exactly a year ago, Double Fine finished a Kickstarter with incredible success. The funding they asked for was a modest amount and their goal was to try to revitalize interest in the slowly dying point-and-click adventure game genre by creating one of their own. What they raised was eight times more than their goal, which ignited a surge of Kickstarter funded projects and forever changed the way developers thought about making games....

Want to see how this works? McCain’s already off and running. During last night’s victory speech, the presumptive Republican nominee fired his first shots at Obama–and they sounded suspiciously familiar. “To encourage a country with only rhetoric rather than sound and proven ideas that trust in the strength and courage of free people is not a promise of hope,” he said. “It is a platitude.” And speaking to reporters this morning in Washington, McCain continued the onslaught....

The Brazil international was on target for Bayern Munich on Saturday to put the Bundesliga champion 2-0 up against Borussia Monchengladbach. And he marked the moment by grabbing a supporter’s phone and taking an impromptu selfie in front of a handful of lucky Allianz Arena spectators. His club also took the moment in good spirits, as it published the shot from several angles on Twitter. 

DR Congo had impressed in the 2015 edition of the competition, progressing to the semi-finals in Equatorial Guinea and beating the hosts on penalties to finish third. Florent Ibenge’s men have been drawn in a tough group as they bid to go one step further this time around, with holders Ivory Coast and Togo playing out a goalless draw earlier on Monday. But DR Congo will go into the second round of fixtures at the top of the Group C after Munir’s moment of misfortune handed them all three points....

On a recent Twitch stream, Dr DisRespect talked about out the wingsuit, a reference to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout battle royale mode. He said that he might bust out the wingsuit next week, and added, “Just don’t forget this conversation, gentlemen. […] Next week you’re gonna see the wingsuit.” RELATED: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Adds Crazy Tomogunchi Watch Following these comments, many in Dr DisRespect’s Twitch chat guessed that he was referring to the long-rumored Modern Warfare Warzone battle royale mode....

The book, Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward, was set for publication on November 2 and was open for pre-orders earlier this week. Now the 80-page book, announced on May 17, has disappeared from the websites of major booksellers amid criticism of some of the emails Fauci wrote in the first half of 2020. National Geographic was listed as the publisher of the book....

YouTube streamer Dr Disrespect has had some criticism about Apex Legends in the past, with the latest one being captured and posted on Twitter. During a stream, the controversial content creator didn’t stand on ceremony when, in the heat of the moment, he let loose about how it was “boring” and how much he “hated” the game. He specifically seemed to take umbrage with the fact that enemies seemed to not be defeated easily, saying that a “full spray” of ammo was not enough to take someone down....

In a “virtual fireside chat” with Lloyd Minor, dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Fauci is currently scheduled to answer pre-submitted questions about the pandemic that has been linked to more than three million U.S. infections. The discussion will cover COVID-19’s “resurgence,” highlights a path to overcoming the pandemic and answers pre-submitted queries, a description of the event reads. It is set for July 13 at 10:30 a....

Tight End Jace Amaro is a college stand-out, who hopes his size can continue to cause mismatches in the NFL. I’ve reviewed three games worth of film on Jace Amaro with Texas Tech (2013), in which he faced the tougher defences of his collegiate career. I use this sample to illustrate the type of player Jace Amaro has been, and he how projects at the next level. Stats can help illustrate messages, but they don’t always tell the entire message....

To me, the name ‘Dexter McDougle’ had the ring of a Hollywood surgeon; not a hopeful stick-to-you like elmers cornerback. It wasn’t until a few minutes after the selection that I understood why I processed this as so. ‘McDougle’ had a familiar tone to it; a goofy pronunciation similar to ‘Doogie Howser’ (the late 80′s, early 90′s television series of a teenage MD). A culmination of the unexpectedness of the pick, joint with the fact I vaguely even recall watching Dexter at Maryland, prompted my mini-tantrum....

Dragon Age 4 made an appearance at Gamescom last week that took some fans by surprise. The developers revealed that the upcoming RPG would take a very different path to Inquisition and could establish a pattern that reveals the true arc of the series. RELATED: Dragon Age 4 May Be More Like Origins Than Inquisition, and That’s a Good Thing The Organizations of Dragon Age Dragon Age 4’s Gamescom video revealed that the game’s protagonist was designed with a main objective in mind, exploring what happens “when you don’t have power....

Dragon Age: Inquisition revealed the Dread Wolf to be the Inquisitor’s companion Solas. However, that isn’t the only time the name “Solas” has sprung up in the Dragon Age series. There’s another time the name appears in the Dragon Age lore - as the name of a location, and based on what’s known about this second Solas, the area could end up being key to the Dread Wolf’s plan in Dragon Age 4....

RELATED: Dragon Ball: Every Character Goku Has Mentored Having come up against so many powerful villains over the years, it’s perhaps unsurprising that some of Dragon Ball’s very best fights involve the spectacular Saiyan. His thirst for fighting has seen him square off against some of the strongest fighters in the twelve universes; including family, immortals, and even one or two Gods. Some of his battles are far more memorable than others though....

Android 17 played a key role in the events leading up to the Cell Saga, but wasn’t seen for the majority of the original Dragon Ball series following his defeat at the hands of the evil bio-android. 17’s resurgence in Super has shown that the former antagonist is still as formidable as ever, so where was he during the events of the Buu Saga?

With all of the changes in Season 4 of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the patch has tended to favor characters with excellent close-range abilities and gap closing potential. A generally faster pace to the game ultimately means that the members of the roster that exploit the new pace best are the ones who landed on top.
