That is sort of true. All his championships were under the “Winston Cup” banner and under the old season-long points system. So while he still might be in his best position for the “Drive for Five,” Gordon isn’t looking at it that way.

One of them is Jeff Reed. In the wake of Scobee’s Thursday night meltdown — he missed two fourth-quarter field goals that would’ve put the Steelers up by a six in a game they lost by three in overtime — Reed made appearances on two Pittsburgh radio stations stumping for his old job.

Regardless of whether he’s singing politically charged lines (“Golden bullets blessed by lobbyist money”) or screaming about romantic shortcomings (“You’re the only person that I wanted to like me”), Rosenstock is an artist that demands—and deserves—your attention. A D.I.Y. superstar of sorts, Rosenstock is a slinger of punk anthems, a veteran who’s not hemmed in by any Puritan view of the genre. His songs incorporate elements of ska, new wave and ambient music, and Rosenstock can seamlessly hit those transitions while barking sincere lyrics about gentrification, corporate greed or just his own personal problems....
After being traded to his hometown Pacers this offseason — he’s from Indianapolis — Teague decided to shack up in his parents’ basement instead of finding his own place. And likely to his parents’ chagrin, he plans on stay “the whole year.” MORE: Photos of Stephen Curry’s mansion “I bought a home here some years back, and when I re-signed back with Atlanta [in 2013] I just decided I was going to live in Atlanta and just gave the house to my mom and dad,” Teague explained to WNDE-AM 1260....
Then something clicked. Jefferson, who entered the third quarter without a single field goal, took advantage of the Bobcats' ramped up efforts to feed him the ball in the post. Jefferson first caught the ball on the block, executed a drop step and put down a one-handed dunk for his first points. Jefferson followed that effort with two more scores, and he began to show why the Bobcats signed him this offseason....
“A few hours ago Jeffree and Daniel were in a severe car accident and the car flipped 3 times after hitting black ice.… We will update you all when the doctor gives us more info.

Jemez on Monday signed for Granada after four campaigns with Rayo which ended with the Madrid-based outfit being relegated to the Spanish Second Division (Liga Adelante) at the end of last season, reports Xinhua. Nevertheless Jemez earned himself a reputation as a man who made the best of his club’s low budget and the large turnover in footballers at the end of every season. He is also known for his cavalier style of play which saw Rayo always try and play attacking football against all of their rivals, rather than trying to sit back and defend....
“I had two socially-distanced meetings with the president yesterday, and he is not considered a close contact as defined by CDC guidance,” Psaki said in a second tweet. “I am sharing the news of my positive test today out of an abundance of transparency.

Arsenal 7/5 to win North London Derby After we had won the FA Cup with Arsenal on penalties, he once said that he never actually enjoyed the win, because our success had not been based on his way of playing but rather on ‘winning ugly’, as they say in England. Dirty victories were not his cup of tea. On the return flight from the Champions League final in which I had been sent of and we ended up losing 1–2 to Barcelona, he sat next to me and said, ‘I knew that if they scored one, we could no longer win....
With matches at Wigan and at home against Blackburn and Newcastle to end the 2011 slate, things could look even rosier heading into 2012, but they must keep the momentum going in January to ensure that those top-four hopes are fully intact heading into the season’s final few months. And they’ll be attempting to do with the distraction of two other competitions, as along with a big league match, Liverpool will also be busy with the Carling Cup semifinals and the third round of the FA Cup in January....

The 30-year-old Australian, who had to make his way through two qualifying rounds too, has been nothing short of spectacular all week in Japan. This represents his first ever ATP Tour final, where he’ll be eagerly anticipating a tough challenge but equally look to play his part with a stunning victory against Djokovic potentially on the cards. While it is true the big-serving Aussie has yet to face a single seeded player en-route to the final, he has nonetheless been relentless and Djokovic will need a strong purposeful display if the Serb hopes to clinch his fourth title of the calendar year....
The majority of Olympic and local officials, as well as business leaders, believe “the 2030 option will be a better environment to host the Games”, city official Akihiro Okumura told AFP. The comment came after Japanese reports said the city would “soon” tell International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief Thomas Bach in Lausanne they wanted to shelve their 2026 bid. While Sapporo’s vice-mayor Takatoshi Machida and Japanese Olympic Committee boss Tsunekazu Takeda will visit Bach, they will discuss the recent earthquake near Sapporo that killed 41 people, Okumura said....
Not yet. There’s still more miserable offensive football left for the 2016 Los Angeles Rams. Case Keenum isn’t gone as the starting quarterback, and rookie Jared Goff will remain mired on the bench.

NFL SCORES: Live Week 7 updates, stats Fisher could always change his mind a la New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles, who initially backed Ryan Fitzpatrick before shelving him last week for Geno Smith....
As of late, Morbius attracted a lot of attention and popularity online, in meme form. This resulted in Sony deciding that this would be the perfect time to re-release the film, only for it to flounder yet again. Morbius was hardly Leto’s first time taking on a classic comic book villain. The actor previously starred in 2016’s Suicide Squad as the infamous Joker.

Likewise, many players have questioned the meaning behind Jas’s dollhouse, which features a family gathered around a dinner table. Strangely, however, Stardew Valley’s description text for the dollhouse notes that the doll representing grandpa is “wedged under the table for some reason.” It’s never explained why this is the case or what it represents, including through conversations with Jas, so players have been left to theorize what it could mean, and one idea stands out among the rest....
The 22-year old striker continued his Midas touch in front of the goal throughout the season, where he became only the second striker after Ruud van Nistelrooy to score 20 or more goals in his debut season, which further enhanced his growing popularity amongst the Old Trafford faithfuls who voted him as the Manchester United player of the season (2010-2011) and quickly anointed him as the natural successor of their legendary number 20 striker – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer....
