In 2020, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout quickly became hotter than just about everything else in the video game sphere for a short period of time. It seemed like no matter where heads turned, Fall Guys was there. The game stayed hot for quite some time, but fell off as all trends eventually do. Now, a new summer sports game is here to take Fall Guys’ crown: Knockout City. Knockout City is the latest game from Velan Studios, and seems like it’s set up for success in a similar way to Fall Guys....

Frank Kaminsky is the toughest matchup in Dallas. Some players are harder to guard than others, in part because of who is likely to be assigned to guard them. It’s harder to defend a 7-footer who can move without the ball, shoot from long range, drive it and score in the low post because big men typically aren’t adept at handling all of these things and few of the opponents they encounter can manage more than one or two....

The game for sure had been rough on Kobe Bryant as with the Warriors converging on him at every single opportunity, he had been through numerous hard fouls, had hurt both his knees and was limping heavily for the major part of the game. But with time running out on the Lakers, Kobe knew better than to dwell on his agonies. It was as they say “mamba time”, and his last two contested 25-foot impossible looking shots, were sign enough that Kobe was sensing the finish line and was ready for another of his clutch performances....

The game will be remembered for a long time for a number of different reasons, and we’re here to remember it from different angles.

The Los Angeles Lakers star is near the end of a career marked by determination and sheer will, so there is no way that Bryant will not go down shooting. That mentality is especially interesting after ESPN ranked Bryant as the No. 40 player, at which point the publication revealed that Bryant sits only 99 missed field goals away from the all-time record.

Lukaku has hit 24 Premier League goals in the most prolific campaign of his career, with the 24-year-old regularly linked with a return to former club Chelsea. But Koeman is confident he will be able to retain the services of the Belgium international. “I expect that Lukaku will stay because until now I did not hear anything from the board that one club is asking about Lukaku,” Koeman told reporters ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match at Arsenal....

Everton are playing at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday, before travelling to Old Trafford on Tuesday in a crucial double-header. A superb run of form that has seen Koeman’s side lose just once in the top flight in 2017 has them sitting just six points behind fourth-placed rivals Liverpool. And Koeman feels a win and a draw in the matches against Jurgen Klopp’s men and United will give his team every chance of sealing a top-four finish....

India’s young middle-order batsman Virat Kohli and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin were impressive while opening batsman Ed Cowan strengthened his case for a call-up to Australia’s Test with a century for Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI on the second day of the three-day practice game at the Manuka Oval here Tuesday. Kohli, who was unbeaten on 55 overnight, converted his half-century to 132 before left-arm spinner Jon Holland triggered a lower-order collapse to limit the Indians to 269....

RCB has multiple opening options in Quinton de Kock, Brendon McCullum, Parthiv Patel, Mandeep Singh and Manan Vohra to name a few. “In the past, it was more or less that I had to. I quite enjoyed that role. Predominantly, I will start at number three, having specialists at that order and that I have done well for Indian team at no 3.” “I’ve a good understanding of playing at that position (No 3) and gives the team a lot of stability....

Six months after leading Georgia to its first national title since the 1980 season, Kirby Smart was rewarded by his alma mater with a contract that locks him up through the 2031 season and makes him the highest-paid coach in college football history. The 10-year extension likely ensures Smart, 46, remains with the Bulldogs for the remainder of his coaching tenure — or at least the next 10 years. It also has built-in raises throughout the length of the deal, illustrating a willingness by the school to ensure its football team remains one of the premier programs in college football....

Kirk Cousins is used to making a head-scratching decision or two in key spots — remember when he knelt instead of spiking the ball? — so to see the Vikings quarterback make another one on Sunday isn’t necessarily shocking or surprising. That, though, doesn’t make it any less hilarious. While threatening to score in the fourth quarter of the Vikings-49ers matchup, Cousins moved to take a snap on a fourth down....

Having started their campaign in grand fashion by trumping the Sunrisers Hyderabad on the back Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi’s exploits with the bat - the two-time IPL champions offered a gleam of hope after a disappointing 2020 season. But the journey after the opening match has been a downward slump for Eoin Morgan’s boys. After their opening day success, KKR lost four matches on the trot. More than the points dropped, it is the nature of those losses that will irk the team and their fans....

This was the perfect opportunity for him to go out, do well register a big score and redeem himself. He had everything going his way as India won the toss and opted to bat on a wicket that hardly has anything for the bowlers. Still, Rahul failed to reach the double digits as he was dismissed for just 9 off six balls in the second over of the day. Even the two boundaries he scored came off the outside edge and luck didn’t last long as he tried to poke a Josh Hazlewood delivery outside the off stump and ended up offering Shaun Marsh an easy catch at first slip....
