This year’s edition featured no Cinderellas, as all eight national seeds in the tournament advanced to form the World Series bracket. There were, however, a lot of surprises in OKC: Florida State was seeded sixth, while Washington was the fifth seed. The WCWS consisted of two four-team brackets in a double-elimination format. The winners of each bracket played in a best-of-three championship series beginning June 4. MORE: Baseball, softball recommended for Olympics return in 2020...

One of those options is a return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he can reunite with former teammate and quarterback Tom Brady. Tampa Bay is a top landing spot for Suh if he decides to get back into football, and it has everything he wants. That includes a winning football team, nice weather, flashy beaches, and he would get paid well to partake in all of it. Back in 2020, Ndamukong Suh won a Super Bowl ring with the Buccaneers, so he’d be a perfect fit if he decided to return....

The underground trade of weapons to Mexico is worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually—with American guns used to kill tens of thousands of Mexicans each year. In addition to weapons from the States working better, Mexico cartels view firearms as status symbols, retired DEA agent Jack Riley told The San Diego Union-Tribune: “It is really important to these criminal organizations, who stay in business by the threat of violence and through the use of violence; and the tools that they prefer to do that with are American-made guns....

According to ESPN, his mother, Senia Shields, went out on the floor with him as he was placed on a backboard and taken from the court. The school tweeted out an update on Shields’ condition following Nebraska’s 87-63 win in Lincoln, saying he was alert, had sensation in his extremities and would be held in the ER for more testing. Shields, who is averaging 15.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, was injured midway through the second half when Rutgers’ D....

Certainly, there are a few precautions to consider before doing any form of neck exercises.

These might include pain which is accompanied by tingling or numbness of your hands or arms, shooting pain such as occurs with nerve impingement or simply having a gut feeling that something more serious is going on....

Lil Rockerfeller is set to return to Ascot next month for a crack at the JLT Long Walk Hurdle with the World Hurdle at Cheltenham the ultimate aim in the spring. Trainer Neil King has mapped out two key points in the campaign for his five-year-old after he posted a career-best effort in the Coral Hurdle at Ascot last Saturday. Beaten just three-quarters of a length by Yanworth, Lil Rockerfeller was conceding 4lb to his rival and if the pair were to clash again in the Grade One event on December 17, they would line up on level weights....

NAIT should not be confused with neonatal autoimmune thrombocytopenia. Neonatal autoimmune thrombocytopenia occurs in mothers with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or lupus. The mother has platelet antibodies in her circulation that attack her own platelets. These antibodies transfer to the fetus via the placenta, resulting in the destruction of his or her platelets as well. Symptoms The symptoms of NAIT are dependent on platelet count. If a woman is pregnant for the first time, there are often no problems until the baby is born....

Now the question is whether those will be the biggest moves ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline or serve as a precursor to a major blockbuster deal. All eyes will be on the Nets and 76ers because of the numerous reports about trade talks involving James Harden and Ben Simmons, but are the Eastern Conference contenders actually willing to come to the negotiating table and iron out the terms of a deal before 3 p....

Of course, the biggest piece of trade bait — Pelicans star Anthony Davis — went nowhere, as expected. But there was plenty of movement elsewhere and though there is still work to be done on the buyout market, it’s safe to declare some winners and losers from the deadline action.

NBA Trade Rumors: Will Christian Wood be a good fit with the Houston Rockets? THe Houston Rockets went for a small ball experiment this season when they traded Clint Capela to the Atlanta Hawks and acquired Robert Covington from Minnesota Timberwolves. The team did well in the regular season, as they finished fourth in the Western Conference. However, things went south from there - the Rockets struggled to beat OKC Thunder in the first round of the NBA playoffs and then eventually bowed out in the semi-finals....

With the NBA Draft order now set, the Anthony Davis sweepstakes begin (again). Does owning the fourth pick give the Lakers a leg up on other teams trying to put together a package for Davis? Or are they behind the Celtics and Knicks in the Davis chase?

Much to the dismay of both the Knicks and Anthony, the 10-time All-Star is still on the current roster, and it doesn’t look like much will change ahead of the 2017-18 season. The Knicks are “not close” on any trade involving Anthony, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley, despite the on-again, off-again discussions between the Knicks and Rockets. TRADE RUMORS: Cavs not done dealing just yet? Anthony has made it clear he wants to play in Houston next to James Harden and Chris Paul, but the Rockets don’t have many enticing pieces they’d be willing to give up in order to acquire Anthony....

The LA Lakers have very few assets that they can use to upgrade their roster. The notion regarding Kyle Kuzma being underutilized makes him a good bargaining chip for the Lakers in trade talks. As per Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, the Purple and Gold tried to move Kuzma ahead of the March 25 trade deadline. Fischer wrote: Fischer also went on to state that the LA Lakers inquired about Spencer Dinwiddie before he tore his ACL:...

The Pistons have made the veteran shooting guard available in trade talks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, but suitors for his services likely won’t snag Bradley without giving up a big asset. Wojnarowski reports the asking price for Bradley is “significant,” even with Bradley set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. TRADE RUMORS: Will Pistons look to add Kemba Walker? Bradley has seen a notable dropoff in production this season with lower per-game numbers in points and rebounds as well as dips in field goal percentage and 3-point shooting....

NBA Trade Rumors: Rivals want the league to intervene in the James Harden situation As the James Harden saga dragged on, Zach Lowe invited ESPN’s Tim MacMahon on the latest episode of The Lowe Post on Monday to discuss the matter. Lowe gave his insight on what opposition teams think of the situation, saying: Although one can’t be too sure whether James Harden is really trying to force his hand here, his laid back approach to returning to the Houston Rockets has raised a few eyebrows....
