Caliendo appeared as a character called “Stephen B. Smith” and got the tics of the First Take loudmouth down pat. It’s certainly evolved since he debuted it in 2012 and I think it’s a bit less reductive than the version done by SNL’s Jay Pharoah, which is still very good. If you want to check out some of Caliendo’s other impressions, his sports repertoire is incredibly deep.

Martinez was carried off on the stretcher after hurting his knee as Atlanta defeated the Earthquakes 3-1 on Saturday — ending his MLS record 15-match scoring streak. The Venezuela international and reigning MLS MVP landed awkwardly after colliding with a teammate before he was substituted in the 79th minute at Mercedes-Benz Field. It sent shockwaves around Atlanta, where Martinez has scored 26 goals to help the titleholders up to third in the Eastern Conference in their pursuit of back-to-back MLS championships....

#1 Among Us vs Fortnite: Accessibility Among Us is available on almost all devices except for Mac and Chromebooks. However, there is a way of installing the game on the Chromebook, but unfortunately, there’s no way of installing it for Mac. Fortnite, on the other hand, is available on most devices, but with the recent lawsuit against Apple, Epic Games had its game removed from the App store. Similarly, as per the Epic Games website, updating the game on Android devices via the Play Store won’t be possible anymore....

Last year’s Braves are the perfect example. They addressed needs, but they were shopping on the margins. They traded for three outfielders, with OPS+ marks of 78, 87 and 100. Not exactly like adding Juan Soto and Josh Bell to the lineup, right? But the pieces they added produced. Duvall, owner of the 100 OPS+ with the Marlins, hit 16 homers in the last two months, then added a combined three homers and 10 RBIs in the NLCS and World Series....

The New Zealand women’s hockey team gave their home fans plenty to rejoice about, as they scripted a splendid 2-1 victory over world champions Argentina in their second match of the Four Nations women’s hockey tournament being played at the ITM Hockey Centre in Whangarei. The world number three side pulled up their socks after their disappointing 3-4 defeat at the hands of South Korea. The Black Sticks women came unstuck against the speedy Koreans, who are ranked five places below them....

The SEC, ACC and Big 12 will make their decisions later in July, but the conference-only model means we lose some of the more interesting matchups of the season. Here are the four biggest storylines that were canceled when the Big Ten and Pac-12 went to a conference-only schedule. MORE: Where each Power 5 school stands on 2020 schedule Bama-USC in Jerry World The Crimson Tide and Trojans met in Jerry World in 2016....

On top of that, Greg also believes it would be worth revisiting the Outlands and Northrend to better tie in the story, post-Cataclysm and Deathwing: Exploring Azeroth after the Shattering is certain to be exciting, but it is certainly going to be interesting to see how content transitions between Azeroth content and the first expansion in the Outland. Fans who’ve already played through the content before might likely never notice the abrupt change of plot, but new players certainly might feel out of place....

The Treasury Department will start sending out the third round of payments to eligible Americans once the $1.9 trillion package is signed by President Joe Biden, which is expected to take place on Friday. The full payments of $1,400 for those earning less than $75,000 and couples earning less than $150,000, phasing out to income thresholds of $80,000 for individuals and $160,000 for couples, could be in bank accounts from the end of the month....

Throughout September, nonpartisan organization The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a petition that calls on Congress to deliver a round of $1,400 “emergency stimulus checks” to assist an estimated 69 million Social Security beneficiaries—including retirees, disabled adults and their dependents, widows and widowers—in coping with the “unprecedented inflation year.” In a letter sent to nearly every member of the House and Senate on Wednesday, the group urged legislators to provide an extra $1,400 in non-taxable income to Social Security recipients....

Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Friday night prepared Trump supporter viewers to “accept an unfavorable outcome” of the president losing, hours before her network called the presidential election in favor of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. On Saturday, The Wall Street Journal and New York Post editorial boards, both owned by Murdoch’s News Corp., published op-eds calling on Trump to immediately drop the baseless “stolen election” narrative he continues to tweet four days after Election Day....

The case against Stone grew from former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The Mueller report concluded that Russia had interfered in the election to benefit Trump, but did not find sufficient evidence for collusion by Trump, while also failing to exonerate the president. Carlson believes that claims of collusion were actually a “hoax” concocted by Democrats and he is worried that jailing Stone could undermine his theory....

Pompeo gave his comments about the Haqqani network at a press briefing Tuesday, in which he took questions from reporters. “In Afghanistan, there’s an aspect of that conflict that deserves more attention and that is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s involvement there,” Pompeo said. “Iran has refused to join the regional and international consensus for peace and is in fact actively working today to undermine the peace process by continuing its long global effort to support militant groups there....

Kilmeade, who is a regular host of the weekday morning show, Fox & Friends, made the remarks Saturday morning on another Fox News program, Watters’ World. Kilmeade’s words, as reported by Mediaite, were given as a response to a statement made by host Jesse Watters, who said that citizens do not trust what they hear from the media about impeachment. “And the thing is, Jesse, they don’t follow [impeachment] like we follow it,” Kilmeade said....

The 2017 Republican tax cuts doubled the existing child tax credits. Democrats then temporarily increased child tax credits further under the American Rescue Plan approved in March, and began sending out the payments monthly. Through the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation proposal, these increased tax credits would be extended. While Barrasso supported the child tax credits as part of Trump’s signature tax cut legislation, the GOP senator now opposes the $3....

In the new polls, released Thursday afternoon, majorities of likely voters in all three of the key states indicated disapproval of Trump’s job performance as president and said Biden was their preferred choice to handle the coronavirus pandemic. Biden led his Republican opponent 52-41 in Nevada, 50-45 in Ohio and 51-44 in Pennsylvania. In Nevada, Hispanic voters and voters under 35 overwhelmingly favored Biden, while Trump was more favored by whites and rural voters....

Among voters who cite Fox News as their most-trusted TV news channel, 61 percent said they want DeSantis to be the 2024 Republican nominee, according to a new USAToday/Suffolk poll released Tuesday. Just 31 percent picked Trump. Although Trump’s relationship with Fox News has long been complicated, the network was instrumental in helping him gain visibility during his 2016 campaign. After Trump won the presidential election, it appeared the two became bound in a media marriage in which Trump would promote Fox and Fox would promote Trump....
