Calipari has taken the one-and-done rule and turned it into an ever-rotating system of elite prospects, where talented players spend a year at Kentucky before making the leap to the next level. But now, the Hall-of-Fame coach is working to make the professional leap even easier for high school players. In an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Calipari says he has recently met with representatives from the NBA Players Association in the hopes they’ll be more actively involved in developing high school players and preparing them for the NBA....

“That’s as good as we play, so the fans in Louisville should not be … their team has played well,” Calipari said. “They should have beaten Purdue; they had them. The Seton Hall kid made like a runner at the buzzer. So what they did today, we just played about as well as we could play. “But I really like their team. They did not make shots today. Thank goodness for us … They hit us on a bad night....

In an interview with CinemaBlend, John Cena praised Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for paving the way for WWE Superstars like him. Without him taking a variety of roles, he would not be getting the opportunities right now. He said: Also Read: 5 Ridiculous Movies that these WWE Superstars probably want you to forget In the past, WWE Superstars or wrestlers were only cast in certain roles. John Cena said that The Rock changed that and made it easier for those who followed....

Following a stint in the company’s Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) development territory, John Cena debuted on WWE’s main roster in 2002. Cena quickly became one of WWE’s top stars, winning the WWE Championship a record 13 times and the World Heavyweight Championship three times before he started winding down his in-ring career. While he made an appearance on Raw earlier this year to celebrate the anniversary of his in-ring debut, the last time Cena was regularly featured on WWE programming was the summer of 2021 when he faced Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship in a losing effort....

Giants owner John Mara’s revelations were more on the aggravating side (not to mention disingenuous in light of his own history with supposed “problem” players). 49ers general manager John Lynch, however, was refreshing in correcting the record. It’s another sign that Lynch’s lack of experience in the job is not going to be a hindrance, and that he’s what that team, and the NFL, actually needed. The first sign was his public undressing of the Bears on draft night....

McAfee, a British American wanted on tax evasion charges in the United States has long been a controversial figure: credited with creating the multi-billion dollar antivirus software industry, accused of manipulating cryptocurrency markets and sought by police investigating a murder in Belize. In Spain, the Catalan Justice Department said prison medics failed to resuscitate McAfee and that everything pointed to suicide, the BBC reported, echoing an earlier report by the Spanish newspaper El Pais....

The Championship club confirmed the news on Monday and Terry expressed his delight at joining a club that he had “admired from afar for many years”. Reports suggest that the former England international has signed a one-year deal with Villa and he will look to help the club return to the Premier League. ‘Terry turned down top-flight offers’ Ahead of the new season, Steve Bruce will have to figure out how best to fit the veteran into his plans, with the likes of James Chester and Nathan Baker also vying for the centre-back position....

Except, for the most part, it hasn’t really happened. John Tesh, the New Age musician, radio host and presenter, made news recently when he announced his departure from Twitter in favor of Parler, and he stayed true on his word. His former Twitter account is deactivated, and he kicked off his Parler activity with a video in which he speaks of a “world of divine healing” as a combative for COVID....

Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, and the two men will now be the focus of significant attention. President Biden faces a different kind of special counsel in Hur, who has associations with Republicans and once clerked for the late conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Smith is a career prosecutor who has been criticized by Trump and some of his allies because of his wife’s connections to former first lady Michelle Obama....

The API move against the invalidation of November’s auction came as hundreds of environmental and other advocacy groups petitioned the Interior Department to immediately stop authorizing Gulf exploration plans and new drilling permits. The petition and the ongoing legal battle over oil and gas leases add pressure on the Biden administration’s ability to balance its environmental and energy policies as Americans face the highest gas pump prices since 2014....

Biden’s retort came as he became agitated by President Donald Trump’s interruptions. While discussing the Supreme Court, Biden was struggling to be heard over Trump’s interruptions. Biden snapped and told Trump “will you shut up, man?”, before calling his Republican rival a clown. The “shut up” remark was popular with supporters of Biden and critics of Trump, with some viewers frustrated at the disordered nature of the debate which led moderator Chris Wallace to face heavy criticism for struggling to keep the debate on track....

Americans collectively hold more than $1.5 trillion in student loans and the financial burden caused people to delay marriages, purchase homes and having children. With some legislators, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, pushing for widespread forgiveness, Biden’s election victory sparked hope that relief was on the horizon. Under Biden’s plan listed on his website, his administration would forgive undergraduate loans for people who have “responsibly made payments” for 20 years....

The day falls on May 3 and it honors the work of journalists and the press, as well as highlighting those who operate under difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions in different parts of the world. Biden issued a statement on the White House website on Monday praising journalists and calling on them to continue holding those in power to account. He also offered a stark warning about efforts to curtail the media....

The progressive, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination this year, told ABC News today that a Biden victory could put an end to “pathological lying” from the White House and the Trump administration’s threat to the rule of law. “To me, this election was about many many things but the most significant thing was about whether or not we end the pathological lying in the White House and we end the danger of losing our democracy and the rule of law in our country, and thank God, it appears that we are going to end that danger,” the senator said in an interview....

Take the quarterback’s answer Sunday to the question of what the Bengals’ Super Bowl window is. “The window is my whole career,” Burrow said after the Bengals’ 27-16 victory over the Ravens. “And everybody that we have in that locker room. All the coaches we have. Things are going to change year to year, but our window’s always open.” MORE: Watch Joe Mixon mock NFL with coin flip celebration...

The ex-congressman told The Post and Courier that he would officially announce his 2022 campaign for South Carolina on Monday, a few days after he filed the initial paperwork for his bid. He also said he was confident he would be able to unseat Republican Gov. Henry McMaster in 2022, pointing to his surprise win in South Carolina’s first congressional district in 2018. “We flipped a gerrymandered seat that voted for Donald Trump by 13 points and it was called one of the biggest upsets in South Carolina’s history,” Cunningham told the Post and Courier....

Then there are deals that really should not make you scratch your head, no matter how tempting. It all depends on whether you think Joe Flacco is “elite." (Sorry, there was no way to resist that.) Flacco doesn’t have to be “elite,” though. He just has to be valuable enough to his team, the Ravens. Ozzie Newsome knew that, and if for some insane reason he didn’t, his trip to the combine last week reminded him....

President Joe Biden and Democrats campaigned on raising the federal minimum wage to $15, and House Democrats included the wage hike in their version of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. However, the wage hike looks unlikely to survive in the Senate’s version of the bill, as that chamber’s parliamentarian ruled it could not be passed through the budget reconciliation process. Meanwhile, GOP Senators Mitt Romney of Utah and Tom Cotton of Arkansas have put forward a proposal to raise the minimum wage to $10 per hour—close to what Manchin has suggested....
