A year after rushing for 1,690 yards, nine touchdowns and earning second-team All-American honors, Abdullah is making a statement four games into the 2014 season. Coming off a 229-yard performance against Miami, Abdullah enters conference play Saturday against Illinois with a lot of momentum — two weeks ago he had an incredible catch-and-run TD to beat McNeese State. As impressive as his statistics are, Abdullah isn’t overly flashy, relying on home run plays to boost his numbers....

High school: Canada Prep Football Academy (St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada) Committed to: Oklahoma MORE: SN Recruiting Central | Alabama’s recruiting will keep Tide in mix WHAT STANDS OUT Power. Perhaps not even a Canadian Mountie and his steed could stop Gallimore in his tracks. While the level of competition he faces is low, the torque and absolute sheer force he generates from his lower-extremities is enormous. Ragdolling would-be blockers and flipping floundering prep offensive linemen off their feet is a regular past-time for him....

MORE PROSPECTS: Top 50 Rankings | Risers, fallers Sweeney stalled a bit at Triple-A this year, but he has the tools to be a productive big league hitter. The switch-hitting Sweeney has above-average bat speed, solid plate discipline and plus athleticism. As he matures, I think he’ll develop at least average power and he could eventually hit 15-plus home runs. Sweeney is also a base-stealing threat, but he gets thrown out more than he should given his plus speed....

Matz has been lights out in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season (2.19 ERA with 94 strikeouts in 90.1 innings), and the injuries that kept him sidelined for most of three previous campaigns (2010-2012) appear to be a thing of the past. RELATED: Top 50 prospects By returning to a six-man rotation, the Mets are clearly looking to limit innings for their young rotation. As a result, Matz should get every opportunity to stick in the majors for the remainder of the season....

Scudamore, who will step down by the end of 2018, helped to build the Premier League into one of football’s most dominant bodies, overseeing massive increases in revenues and attendances. A report released by Deloitte’s Sports Business Group in April found Premier League clubs’ combined revenue increased to a record £4.5 billion ($6bn) in the 2016-17 season. “It’s an absolute privilege to have been allowed to enjoy this role for so long, it is too much fun to be called a job,” Scudamore said in a statement....

Sea of Thieves is no stranger to large content updates and story-driven adventures in the form of Tall Tales. Adventures and Mysteries will take Tall Tales to the next level in one of the most ambitious additions Rare has made to the game. Rare wants to build upon the world of Sea of Thieves and create a bustling lore filled world for players to set sail in, and this new content should accomplish that....

Along with the established and ever-expanding lore of Sea of Thieves, the game features some recurring characters that help to flesh out the tales and provide NPCs for the player’s pirate to interact with. They help to explain more about the world of the game, originate or participate in quests, and fill Sea of Thieves with interesting sea-faring souls and wayward explorers. One of the more memorable and occasionally elusive NPCs that players can encounter is Stitcher Jim....

While many new players are checking out Sea of Thieves for the first time, veterans have had a long time to get to know the game. These same players have had a long time to hash out their biggest complaints and desired fixes, and one in particular reigns supreme: trolling. Being a game where PvP can seriously derail the experience, there’s some hope that a new emote shown in the Season 2 trailer could turn things around a bit....

Summ1G’s response represents the views and fears of many PC gamers, which is that given the option to opt out of the game’s cross-play, Sea of Thieves players on Xbox One will take it. His claim is that any such option will effectively divide the two platforms entirely, and that the PC community of Sea of Thieves won’t be able to subsist on its own. It’s a worst-case scenario perspective, but it’s also good feedback for Rare as the company considers just how to implement this feature and evaluates the risks involved....

It’s the “Why didn’t Adams tackle Brown?” that’s the more intriguing narrative without one clear answer, though. The Seahawks’ safety appeared to have his gap covered, until he didn’t, and Seattle (6-3) went on to lose to the Rams (6-3) 23-16. On third-and-2 from the seven-yard line, Jared Goff handed off to Brown on a run to the right side. Brown received a large initial hole from his line, but when he approached the second level, Adams (33) appeared to be waiting for him....

Seattle was able to do that. The Seahawks scored 23 points against the Jets and made life difficult for Mike White, who was unable to record a touchdown for New York in its 23-6 loss. Now, the Seahawks are staring down a potential playoff berth. However, while they remain in the picture, they aren’t in control of their own destiny as they look to claim the final NFC playoff spot....

But on Thursday, Saints coach Sean Payton delivered the most devastating blow yet. It all started fairly innocently after Payton replied to a tweet from Atlanta’s official account. That “Impressive” is loaded with sarcasm. NFL MOCK DRAFT: Complete 7-round edition One Falcons fan decided he couldn’t let that stand and tried to troll Payton with how he watched Netflix for three days after the Saints lost in the 2019 postseason....

“Courting arrest?” By this point I was shouting so loudly I could probably have been heard in New Haven without the benefit of a telephone line. “This is what I’m sending you to one of the best universities in the world for, to spend your time in jail?” “It’s a question of justice,” he explained. “For the workers of the university.” “What about justice for me?” I demanded. “Do you know how much I’m paying to send you to Yale?...

The Ghanaian was forced off the pitch early in the 21st minute following a seeming setback, his place taken by Yohan Cabaye. “We’re more concerned about Jeffrey Schlupp coming off because he’s rolled his ankle and you always worry with those - that he’s damaged some ligaments - but we won’t know until he’s had the scan,” Hodgson said. “I’m hoping that him and Wilf [Wilfred Zaha] will recover.”...

The Mumbai school boy has till now managed to remain unbeaten having defeated a Grandmaster (GM Deviatkin Andrei (2464) of Russia) and drawn with four IM-titled players. Aditya’s efforts have earned him a performance rating of 2500 and an increase of 93 rating points. At present he is in seventh position. Meanwhile, Indian Grandmaster Sandipan Chanda (2555) finally suffered a defeat as he lost to Vietnamese GM Tran Tuan Minh (2524) in the sixth round....

David Clark, who was described as the “heart and soul” of Richmond School in North Yorkshire died on Monday evening while walking near fields in Richmond. North Yorkshire Police say they were called to reports of a man being injured by cows in a field at 7.30pm. A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: “Officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be working to support those affected by his death today....

Of course, it would be impossible to talk about sci-fi without mentioning the brilliance of artificial intelligence and everything it has to offer. In the real world itself, AI is taking massive strides and is poised to play a major role in the lives of humans further down the line. Meanwhile, AI also has played a major role in many popular video games, with the most notable examples in this regard being mentioned below....

An international team of researchers writing in Nature came to this conclusion after analyzing frozen tissue samples from 18 Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica) collected during anti-smuggling operations at Guangxi Customs in southern China between August 2017 and January 2018. RNA-sequencing found coronaviruses in samples from five of the 18 pangolins. Further testing found coronaviruses in a second group of pangolins. Nineteen samples from 12 pangolins were analyzed. Three samples from three pangolins came back as positive, showing an 85....

Letter No. 1 With Raw ending with Sting holding the WWE WHC up high, how does he not walk into Survivor Series in Atlanta as champion? That’s a bigger sendoff for him than a win at Wrestlemania IMO. And now I’m wondering if they promised him a mini run to job to HHH. I would think it’d have to play out with Cena going at Rollins first for the US Championship and then a weakened Rollins losing to Sting....
