Duncan put $247,000 toward the San Antonio Genome Research Project, a non-profit that is trying to change the way research information is shared.

Tim expressed concern for his older brother Tuesday on ESPN, saying he thinks it’s going to be tough for a 40-year-old to endure six weeks as a starting NFL quarterback. MORE: Week 10 Power Rankings | Colts have good reason to shut out Luck for season “They have a 40-year-old backup that maybe has to play for six weeks, get you all the way to Week 16 of the NFL season before you potentially get Andrew Luck back,” Hasselbeck said via Pro Football Talk....

But it gets stranger. On one of those groundouts, Tebow looked lost as he tapped the ball in front of the plate, then stood there as the catcher tagged him out. MORE: We should want to be more like Tebow It didn’t get much easier in the field, either. On one play, he crashed into the outfield wall chasing a fly ball that dropped for a double. Sentiment on Tebow’s Arizona debut was definitely mixed....

Clearly, Minnesota is not resting on its laurels after defeating the Clippers in the play-in game and losing in the first round to the Grizzlies. Can the new duo of Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns catapult the Wolves into a legit contender out West? Below, we’ll look at how BetMGM’s championship odds changed after the Wolves acquired Gobert.

However, it appears increasingly inevitable that the Butler won’t be with the Timberwolves this season — and they’ve only got one more chance to start learning how to play without the four-time All-Star before the games start counting. Minnesota played its second-to-last preseason game on Sunday night at Hilton Coliseum, Iowa State’s home floor. The Timberwolves’ G-League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves, play roughly 30 miles away in Des Moines. It was the first game at Hilton, one of the loudest arenas in all of college basketball, since 1999 — and it drew a near-capacity crowd....

Needless to say, this is controversial stuff. Robinson and Godbey spent five years trying to find a publisher. One female editor rejected the book immediately–and angrily–when she got to the statistics showing that women have almost the same amount of free time (39.3 hours per week) as men (41.6). “She said, “I know this can’t be right. I know women work longer than men’,” says Godbey, a professor of leisure studies at Penn State....

The 20 richest clubs in the world The Serb lost his world number one ranking to Andy Murray at the end of 2016 and is destined to fall further behind the Scot after being dumped out of the competition in Melbourne by Denis Istomin, who is not considered one of the best 100 players in the game. Djokovic, though, might consider going into football, having impressed on the field before....

Why? After all, Sweden has posted year after year of robust growth and productivity gains–making it the envy of Europe. The problem is jobs. To stay competitive, Swedish companies have shed workers by the thousands. By some estimates, more than 15 percent of Swedes are out of work, if you include the long-term unemployed and “perpetual students” who have chosen to stay off the job market. The dole is swelling....

TIME Magazine is one of the more popular and recognized magazines around the world. Although it may not be thought of as a major gaming entity at first blush, it certainly is interesting to consider its list. The top ten seems to be well-thought-out, as it is not simply the most popular games of the year. Instead, there are some hidden gems of 2021, along with some heavy hitters....

Far from training tomorrow’s leaders to be contributing members of society, these schools have developed a curriculum of brainwashing, radicalization and indoctrination. Within the walls of UN-funded schools, children are being taught to view Jews as their enemies and to hail terrorists as heroes. In its classrooms, UNRWA uses textbooks that glorify mass murderers. In one such textbook, Dalal Mughrabi, murderer of 38 Israelis, has a chapter dedicated to her role as a model of female empowerment....

Tinykin was revealed during the PC Gaming Show at E3 2021, including an animation by Andrea Asperges and Federico Bressan that invites players into the perspective of Milo: a future interstellar explorer who re-discovers Earth, devoid of human life and trapped in the 1990s. He beams down into a suburban home, finds himself only an inch tall, and seeks answers to the strange happenings as his means of teleporting out is broken....

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated one in 25 people admitted to hospital will acquire an infection during their stay. That’s a staggering statistic given the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains and ever-increasing rates of hospital-acquired sepsis. That means that you must make sure you’re also taking an active role in protecting yourself and others while you are a hospital patient or visitor....

The clip has been labelled “Multiplayer B-Roll,” so it seems as if EA may have been keeping the footage on standby in case the Respawn Entertainment-developed shooter’s main multiplayer trailer ended up encountering technical issues. Whatever the case may be, per the video’s description, Titanfall Legends received permission from permission from the publisher and from the CEO of Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, to run the Titanfall 2 reel. As seen in the footage below, a lot of the assets from the Titanfall 2 multiplayer clip can be found in the trailer shown last week by Electronic Arts at E3, but now, instead of being dressed up with intensely affecting music and having quick cuts and edits in place, fans get to see what’s essentially a raw look at what the game’s online experience will be like....

The run matched Tony Dorsett’s mark set in 1983. Tennessee was trying to avoid a second safety in the game when Henry broke free and then laid not one, not two, not three, but four stiff arms on Jaguars defenders on his way to pay dirt. It was the second touchdown run of the game for Henry, although this one without a doubt had more style and substance. He has seven touchdowns in his last seven games....

Greene surrendered to police Friday night after being told warrants had been obtained for his arrest, said Franklin, Tennessee, police Sgt. Charles Warner. MORE: Iyer’s Week 8 picks | Boyett cut by Broncos following arrest | NFL, Ravens not cooperating with NFLPA The matter could have been ended with a simple parking ticket, but now Greene faces multiple charges, Warner said. The veteran running back was charged with driving on a suspended license, reckless driving, failure to stop/halt/frisk and illegal parking, Warner said....

Munchak, only the franchise's second coach since leaving Houston in 1997, was fired Saturday afternoon. "The last week has been a difficult time trying to navigate through many issues to find the best resolution for this franchise moving forward," general manager Ruston Webster said in a statement. "Tough choices were presented to all sides and the end result was to part ways and move forward without Mike." Munchak was promoted from offensive line coach to the head job to replace Jeff Fisher in 2011....

Mariota was ruled out of Sunday’s NFL showdown with the Colts as he continues to deal with a nerve condition caused by a stinger, the Titans announced shortly before kick-off. Backup Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert will get the start in Mariota’s absence. Mariota suffered an elbow injury in the first half of Tennessee’s 25-16 win over the Washington Redskins last Saturday. The 25-year-old was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, giving the Titans hope that he could play in the postseason should they advance....

This is the time of year when it’s safest to take any buzz on a team’s draft plans with a barrel of salt, rather than a pinch. There are no strong indications which way the Titans are leaning. They could trade the pick, shore up their defensive front with Leonard Williams or Shane Ray, or take whichever of the two elite quarterbacks remains.

A year after his arrival as coach, Tite has defined and solidified both his approach and his personnel ahead of the big kick-off next year. READ MORE: What did Tite learn from WCQ? | Willian states Brazil case | Brazil’s WCQ campaign so far With one eye focused firmly on leading the Selecao to a sixth world title, Tite made it clear that preparations for Russia were well underway. The coaching staff have spent much of the last 12 months prioritising an approach to perform under intense pressure, which perhaps explained the relatively sluggish start Brazil made against Ecuador in Porto Alegre on Thursday....
