The email in full reads: “Team, “You have likely seen the news that we made the decision to remove an app from the App Store entitled HKmap.live. These decisions are never easy, and it is harder still to discuss these topics during moments of furious public debate. It’s out of my great respect for the work you do every day that I want to share the way we went about making this decision....
What makes this contest interesting, though, is who is calling the plays for San Antonio. It isn’t Gregg Popovich, who the Spurs announced is away tending to personal business. Instead, it’s assistant coach and franchise icon Tim Duncan. Some people, at least on Twitter, wish assistant Becky Hammon had gotten the nod.

Lincecum had a 10-9 record, 4.67 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in his 26 starts last season. Despite the unimpressive numbers, the Giants seem willing to give him another chance. Ryan Vogelsong and Yusmeiro Petit are currently set to start the season in the bullpen, assuming Tim Hudson (ankle) is ready on opening day — but that isn’t a given. Bochy said Wednesday that Hudson is running behind in his preparation after undergoing offseason surgery....
The story has come after Bonnie posted a similar cheeky story which did the rounds on the internet a few days back as the fans enjoyed the funny expansion of Pant-Paine banter. Here is the Instagram story: The heart of the matter A few days ago when the Indian and the Australian team gathered at the Prime Minister’s official residence, we witnessed a new twist to the Pant-Paine banter as we saw Bonnie Paine, the other half of Tim Paine, posting a story with Rishabh Pant on Instagram....
Tebow told reporters Sunday he tripped on a sprinkler head last week at the team’s complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and sprained his left ankle. Like the quarterback he is, he tried to work through the injury, but his ability to make cuts has been limited.

Deng’s one-year deal is for the minimum salary of $2.4 million for a player with his experience, according to a person with knowledge of the contract who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team does not release terms. Deng will join former Bulls teammates Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose in Minnesota. They all played for Thibodeau with Chicago, too. Just two seasons into a four-year, $72 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, Deng was waived on Sept....
If you think about it, bowling is largely about deception. The bowler uses all the tools at his disposal to press the batsman into an error; to prompt him into playing too early, too late, to misjudge the bounce or the pace, or to fail to properly adjust for the extent of the lateral movement. While batting, there is a point beyond which the batsman is unable to make adjustments in order to connect with the ball....
The best playmaker won’t be Derrick Rose, but Russell Westbrook, taken three picks after Rose and now performing at a level where he’s linked to the great Oscar Robertson and would have fit right in with Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. MORE: Top 15 point guards in the NBA Knicks fans will flock to the Garden (7:30 p.m. ET) to watch Westbrook put up another triple-double, which is what he has to do just about every night to give Billy Donovan and the Thunder a fighting chance to post a win....

The news comes over from Respawn Entertainment co-founder and CEO Vince Zampella, who jokingly took to Twitter to announce the actual file size of the day one patch. While many games easily exceed a gigabyte of data these days, Titanfall 2 will only require players to download an 88 MB patch. With an update that small, players should be online and dropping in those new titans in no time at all....
Speaking with Games Radar, Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella reiterated the developer’s business model for Titanfall 2, stating that the studio will be “giving away all the maps and modes.” The reason behind this? The developer does not want to “split the community.” As it turns out, Respawn wants to develop a strong relationship with the player, building trust with the game’s users. “We need to trust the player and they need to trust us,” said Zampella....
Titanfall will be joining other popular EA games such as Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Battlefield Hardline, and Dragon Age: Inquisition in the Vault which all Origin Access members are granted access to, along with new game trials and discounts on Origin purchases. The Xbox One version of Titanfall has been available to download from the vault since last year but this is the first chance that PC gamers have had to get their hands on the game for free....
In November 2014, 8 months after the game’s initial release, Respawn Entertainment announced that Titanfall had at that point seen 7 million unique users across all platforms. Accompanied by EA’s announcement that the game was the best-selling new IP for Xbox One, the futuristic first-person shooter was undoubtedly a huge success and was a huge selling point for the console. Now, Respawn Entertainment founder and CEO Vince Zampella has announced on Twitter that the best-selling game has hit the 10-million mark, though he didn’t specify whether the figure represents copies sold or total number of players....
Mularkey, despite leading a big comeback victory at Kansas City in the wild-card round of the playoffs, is out as coach after Saturday’s blowout divisional loss at New England. Mularkey and Tennessee officials reportedly “mutually decided to part ways” Monday. That leaves the Titans diving late into a head-coaching search for 2018. The Raiders (Jon Gruden) and Bears (Matt Nagy) already have their guys. The Lions (Matt Patricia), the Colts (Josh McDaniels) and Giants (Pat Shurmur) are reportedly just waiting on theirs, maybe until after Super Bowl XLII....
But now, he’s hurt. He is dealing with a broken bone in his right foot that will likely end his season. Henry has handled 219 carries this season for the Titans. Other running backs that have played for Tennessee have just 11 on the season. He has accounted for nearly 80 percent of the Titans’ rushing yards this season and has vastly outgained other backs on the roster. MORE: Titans’ 12 best trade candidates to replace Derrick Henry...
Here is the statement from Challenge TV posted on its website: MORE: Watch Goldberg spear Paul Heyman on WWE ‘Raw’ TNA responded to the news on its Facebook page with a rather odd explanation for the partnership ending, blaming it on spoilers and being on tape delay. For more than a decade, TNA has taped its weekly “Impact Wrestling” show in advance, making this explanation rather dubious. In fact, the company recently completed filming upcoming editions of the show that will air through the end of the year, and the results of these tapings can be easily found online....

There’s not much to separate the two teams. Last year’s finalists Dindigul Dragons derive their strength from their two prolific openers from Coimbatore – wicketkeeper-batsman Narayan Jagadeesan and left-hander C Hari Nishaanth. The DD captain, in fact, is not just TNPL’s top run-getter with 1352 runs under his belt but also the season’s best batsman (448 runs) as well. Nishaanth is not too far off with 318 runs and is fourth among the top-run getters this season behind Jagadeesan, Ruby Trichy Warriors’ Murali Vijay (359 runs) and Siechem Madurai Panthers’ KB Arun Karthick (356 runs)....
Albright flew to France early Saturday in a last-minute effort to forge an agreement over the renegade province of Kosovo. Prompted by the slaughter of 45 Albanians in the town of Racak last month, the talks had dragged on for two weeks. While the sides were close to a deal to grant semi- autonomy to Kosovo, Milosevic refused to even discuss a peacekeeping deployment of NATO troops in Kosovo. With only six hours remaining before a noon deadline for NATO strikes, Albright arrived at the table....
