“This is the most incredible sendoff that we could have ever hoped for, to be playing hockey for the Stanley Cup championship in June,” said Alex Klein, sporting an Islanders tank top in front of his Jets-turned-Islanders decorated minibus. “There’s nothing better than this.” Of course, a spot in the Stanley Cup Final and a chance at the franchise’s fifth championship would be better. It’s been 38 years since the boys sporting orange, white and blue sipped from sports’ greatest trophy....

Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya will face off against Paulo “The Eraser” Costa in the main event of UFC 253. The fight will, presumably, result in the first loss for one of the fighters. It may result in Adesanya’s middleweight title changing hands for the first time since he won it in October 2019. One thing that is more than certain, however, is that both fighters will earn a significant pay day from the event....

This is precisely what just happened in Israel. On August 31, Yossi Kamisa, a former associate of Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman, wrote on his Facebook page that in 2000, then-Minister of National Infrastructures Liberman offered him $100,000 to kill a police commissioner. Kamisa wrote that he filed a police complaint detailing his allegations a month ago, but neither the police nor the state prosecution responded. The media was largely silent about Kamisa’s claims, but gave wide coverage to Liberman’s denial of Kamisa’s allegations, as well as Liberman’s denial of any formal relationship with Kamisa either at the time or since....

Wenger finally ends Mourinho hoodoo Granit Xhaka’s heavily deflected strike was followed three minutes later by Danny Welbeck’s header against his old club to give Arsenal a 2-0 victory on Sunday, ending Manchester United’s 25-game top-flight unbeaten run. Arsenal have won four of their last five games in all competitions since Wenger switched formation to a back three, but they remain sixth in the table, narrowing the gap on fourth-placed Manchester City to six points....

Photo submitted to Reddit by bbrasky1903 The passions of those gathering inside the Dean Smith Center for tonight’s game figure to bring the temperature even higher. These banners fly a day after we saw a handful of buildings on UNC’s campus defaced. A Tar Heel wringing the neck of a Blue Devil is about as dignified a response you could give. Rivalries are awesome.

Great: just when we thought we were striking out on the road untraveled, we find we’re merely another niche market. But being part of a trend instead of pioneering it has advantages. Should you want to scale the Himalayas with female Sherpas, there’s now a women’s tour company in Nepal to arrange it. There are all-female trips to walk the Arctic, to visit healers in Ecuador and to watch camels in Rajasthan....

Instagram filters now may mean making your nose smaller and lips bigger, but in 2014 it was simply making your pictures a whole lot more colorful with the help of “X-Pro II” and “Lo-Fi.” For years now, those overly saturated, Valencia-filtered, square-cropped selfies have been uncool, the type of thing Gen Z would “Ok, boomer” at, but now they’re back, and they’re actually kind of cool. Influencers of today favor the clean-cut, brightly lit, #spon photos, but TikTok users are taking us back to our roots with the latest photo-editing trend that sees us longing for the simpler times....

The 25-year-old was the man of the match against Southampton, as he opened the scoring, and Opta data shows that his average position was further forward than his teammate Diego Costa. In fact, since Chelsea first started a match with the 3-4-3 formation against Hull City, Hazard has played further forward than Costa in all but one game (against Manchester United) during the month of October. Chelsea has won every match in the league while using Conte’s new system and has kept four successive clean sheets, but the Blues lost 2-1 in the EFL Cup to West Ham after resting the likes of Hazard, Costa and Victor Moses....

The post-election period has been even worse than the previous three years and ten months. Before the final Electoral College vote count was announced this week, a Washington Post survey on Dec. 6 found only 11 Republican senators willing to say that Biden, who received seven million more popular votes, won the election. The clownish Texas suit that the Supreme Court tossed out on Dec. 11 was the last straw....

Dean was confronted by an angry Mauricio Pochettino after Ashley Barnes struck a late winner at Turf Moor on Saturday. Spurs felt the corner from which Chris Wood headed the opening goal was incorrectly awarded and Lloris raged at the decision in a post-match interview. “For me it was obvious. It is the responsibility of the referee,” Lloris told Sky Sports. “Then it is our responsibility not to concede from the corner....

MORE: The best international soccer rivalries | Pele is suing Samsung Trailing 2-1 at Fiorentina, Sassuolo’s defeat was sealed when the side went down 3-1 after this play from goalkeeper Andrea Consigli in the 70th minute: The Twitter world, predictably, unloaded with jokes and theories as to how and why Consigli would send a ball backwards, but this much seems apparent: It goes down as one of the worst plays of all time by a professional soccer player....

Dry skin: Some people get patches of dry skin on their face that can be very itchy. Eczema: More than just dry skin, eczema is extremely itchy and can be difficult to treat. Flare-ups of eczema can be caused by allergies as well....

One post is a video compiling clips of official visits she made in her 37th year. The video begins with her stepping out of a black car and includes scenes of her shaking hands with diplomats, overseeing the passage of new legislation, visiting factories to promote workforce development and going to Africa. “Thank you @alwaysivanka for creating this amazing birthday video,” Trump tweeted, crediting her fan page with more than 140,000 followers....

ATK also has a slim chance of making it into the top-4, and they still look hopeful. Both the side will face each other for the second time in this edition of the Hero ISL. The previous encounter at Mumbai ended in a 0-0 draw. Mumbai City is on the verge of qualifying for the next round as they are placed fourth in the points table. They can’t afford to lose this match which would imperil their playoff hopes....

In the aftermath of that contest, Eelco Schattorie stormed off the pitch, with a face like thunder at his side’s inability to see out another game. Thus, plenty expected the Dutchman to cut a slightly frustrated figure on the eve of the match against Mumbai City FC. Yet, nothing of that sort materialised as the Blasters manager chatted away on a variety of aspects, even taking the journalists in attendance slightly aback courtesy the confidence he portrayed....

Bengaluru FC Preview Interim head coach Naushad Moosa had no beginner’s luck when Bengaluru FC took on SC East Bengal. The Blues ended up on the losing side after a lone strike from Matti Steinmann was enough to clinch the win for the Kolkata side. The defeat marked the Blues’ fourth loss in a row as they continue to slide down the ISL standings. After their tenth fixture, Bengaluru FC are placed on the sixth spot with a tally of 12 points....

Goalkeeper Amrinder Singh: Amrinder Singh’s Mumbai conceded two goals in their opening match against Bengaluru FC. Amrinder plays the next match against FC Goa at home where Mumbai conceded just 3 goals and kept 4 clean sheets last season....
