You know this, of course. In his five full seasons in the bigs with the Angels, he’s won the AL MVP twice and finished second three other times, which is kind of ridiculous. Advanced baseball metrics love his production, as do traditional counting stats (he averages 33 homers and 28 stolen bases a year), and he’s an elite defensive center fielder. I had the chance to chat with Trout on the phone Tuesday afternoon as part of a round of media interviews he was doing to promote a new commercial for BODYARMOR , the sports drink company that has Kobe Bryant as a primary investor....

“Wait, aren’t Mike Tyson’s hands registered as ‘deadly weapons’? AND he did this on a plane???!!!!” Twitter user @RebeccaJB wrote. “It used to be that a prize fighter’s hands were considered deadly weapons. Not sure if that is still the case. Regardless, never annoy Mike Tyson,” tweeted user @JimLockardWine. But the idea that professional fighters are obligated to register their hands is a myth. Steven Bash, a California-based attorney, said in an interview with Newsweek that there is no requirement for boxers or mixed martial arts fighters to register their fists or other parts of their bodies....

Sherrill, a graduate of the Naval Academy who spent nearly a decade flying helicopters for the Navy, cited her military service as the main influencer to her decision. It’s a choice that for Sherrill—and other freshman Democrats who, like her, flipped Trump districts in 2018—could cost her re-election. “My military service taught me to put our country—not politics—first, and my time as a federal prosecutor taught me about the importance of the rule of law and of justice,” Sherrill said in a statement....

‘Barcelona better for Dybala than Real’ Deulofeu’s registration is owned by Everton but a return to Camp Nou has been touted for the Spaniard at the end of the season as the Liga side hold a buy-back clause on the 23-year-old, who left the club in July 2015. A January loan switch to San Siro has reinvigorated Deulofeu, who has recorded two goals and three assists in 11 league appearances for Milan, and Galliani appears keen to keep the winger at the club on a permanent basis....

They wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation as [to] who was in charge of that legislative process.” She added, “We know that members of the militia groups that were present on January 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with the direct nexus to the State of the Union…....
The vast structure of stars is located on the Sagittarius Arm of our galaxy and was detected using NASA’s now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope and data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. The structure stands out sharply from the rest of the arm. Scientists had previously spotted prominent structures such as this in other galaxies, but were unsure if the Milky Way had them too. Galactic arms are long strands of stars, planets and other material that spin away from the galactic core....

However, last month, Musk stated in court that he would step down and appoint a new CEO of the company....
