— “He hasn’t scored more than 10 goals in any of the last three seasons. How could you spend money on that?” — “The last time he was used in an offensive role with decent linemates, he potted 30. Why not try to make that work?” MORE: Free agency winners and losers | Penguins rebuild bottom six The Islanders apparently bought No. 2. Wednesday. They signed Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski, his linemate during that 30-goal season, to four-year contracts....

“When celebrities like @BellaHadid advocate for throwing Jews into the sea, they are advocating for the elimination of the Jewish State,” the tweet read. “This shouldn’t be an Israeli-Palestinian issue. This should be a human issue. Shame on you. #IsraelUnderAttack.” The account, which is managed by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ digital diplomacy team, also shared an image purporting to show Hadid at the march. The tweet comes amid rising tensions in the region....

The man behind the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast has been the target of significant criticism in recent weeks. Several high-profile musicians including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have taken their work off Spotify in protest at the streaming service’s continued hosting of Rogan’s podcast amid claims of misinformation around COVID-19. Rogan then found himself at the centre of racism claims after a clip of him using the N-word more than 20 times on his podcast over the years went viral....

Arguably, it is at even greater risk now than it was then. Very soon now Israel could be engaged in the biggest battle for existence it has ever faced in its not-so-short-any-longer history. And the next U.S. president—whether it is Barack Obama or John McCain—may have a bigger crisis on his hands than anything since 9/11. While Israeli officials insist they are sticking to diplomacy, a number of circumstances are aligning to make an Israeli strike on Iran more likely before the end of 2008:...

Bennett’s historic trip last week to Abu Dhabi marked the first visit by an Israeli leader to one of the five nations that signed the Abraham Accords, through which four countries —the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco — defied a decades-long Arab boycott to normalize relations with Israel, making them the first to do so since Egypt and Jordan did decades ago. His reception by an honor guard at Abu Dhabi International Airport emphasized the level of relations being built by the two countries....

The job listing in question is for an Experienced Landscape Artist on Playdead’s development team. The job listing references an expectation for the applicant to “meet technical performance requirements in Unreal Engine 5.” While the job listing doesn’t explicitly state it’s for Playdead’s known project, which doesn’t have an announced name, it does reference a “large, third-person, open-world” game. Barring the project being rebooted, it’s safe to assume this is the game Playdead’s been working on since Inside....

Luis Suarez has not made any decision on his future yet but the Uruguayan has hinted that he might consider moving to a new club after what he has been through. The 26-year-old Liverpool striker, who is serving a ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic of Chelsea, had admitted on Wednesday that it wouldn’t be easy to turn down a move to Real Madrid. Luis Suarez said: “It’s a good moment for a change of environment because of all I’ve been through....

After years of eclipse, America’s much maligned labor movement is finally enjoying some sun. No, workers aren’t joining up by the millions. And no, the halcyon days of the 1960s, when the esteemed heads of Big Business and Big Labor resolved the nation’s problems over drinks at the White House, aren’t coming back. But anger over corporate cutbacks and meager pay [raises] is giving the movement its biggest boost in decades....

It’s going to end in the postseason and — if the last few years are any indication — in similarly bizarre fashion. Jordy Nelson is back, Eddie Lacy looks good and despite Josh Sitton getting released, Aaron Rodgers has enough to work with to get the Packers back to the Super Bowl. There aren’t too many excuses for them not to. MARVEZ: Aaron Rodgers dishes in tell-all conversation The Packers’ window isn’t closing — it won’t while Rodgers is quarterback....

Not everyone in New York, Washington and London was quite so underwhelmed by Friday’s announcement that Dai-Ichi Kangyo, Fuji and Industrial Bank of Japan would combine to form a behemoth with $1.3 trillion in assets. Lincoln, after all, is the guy who published a famously pessimistic essay entitled “Japan’s Financial Mess” in Foreign Affairs 16 months ago. And even Lincoln acknowledges that Japan has made real progress since he suggested that maybe U....

As temperatures dropped to 18 degrees Fahrenheit, 14 degrees below freezing, Lauren Reber—a resident of Princeton, a town north of the Dallas metroplex—said she spent the night listening to “loud pops” that reverberated through her neighborhood, she told KXAS-TV. “We listened to them all night. Sounds like gunshots going off,” she said. The cold temperatures cause the sap inside of trees to freeze, expanding beyond what the tree bark can contain....

The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in Haaland v. Brackeen, a series of consolidated cases aimed to overturn the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The law was created in 1978 to address the high numbers of Native children being separated from their families and gives tribal nations input in child welfare cases involving kids who are members of, or eligible for membership in, a federally recognized tribe....

Game Rant recently spoke to Fares and Turn Me Up, developer of the imminently forthcoming Switch port, about rule-breaking in game design and pushing the envelope in terms of content. Fares also had a lot to say about the nature of narrative multiplayer, how making games compares to making movies, and the inherently collaborative nature of telling stories. RELATED: It Takes Two Director Teases Next Game Scratching the Surface of Narrative Multiplayer While It Takes Two was a groundbreaking experience in terms of story-driven multiplayer, Fares believes video games are merely scratching the surface of what the medium is capable of....

To get the politics out of the way first: with the veto-override attempt failing, this was a big week for the Democrats, as many GOP consultants have publicly admitted. At least some of the 193 House members and 37 senators who voted against the bill–almost all of them Republicans–may well lose their seats on this issue, if not this November then in 2008 or 2010. Once the “pro-cure” movement clarifies and penetrates, it will be awfully hard to stand firm against saving the lives of your constituents....

Sarri was Koulibaly’s coach in Naples until the end of last season and was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti following his move to Stamford Bridge. Ancelotti claimed to have tried to get the match suspended on three occasions at San Siro and said his players could leave the pitch if similar circumstances occur in future. Koulibaly was sent off late on after sarcastically applauding the referee following a booking, with Lautaro Martinez then scoring a stoppage-time winner....

The Gaurs will also become the first-ever Indian football club to feature in the AFC Champions League group stage. Spanish midfielder Alberto Noguera is one of the key signings for Juan Ferrando’s side this season. The midfielder spoke exclusively to Sportskeeda about the Coronavirus lockdown, English and Spanish football, his objectives for the season, and the prospect of the Indian Super League. Excerpts from the Interview: Alberto Noguera began with the impact of the Coronavirus lockdown in Spanish football in terms of wages, finances, youth football and personal fitness....

The 26-year-old goalkeeper saw his side concede three goals as their South Indian neighbours reigned supreme, thanks to a 3-2 result. He went on the say that the team never expected to be beaten in the final by the Marina Machans. “I think it was an unexpected result for us,” said Gurpreet after the game. Bengaluru FC finished top of the table after the league phase, with 40 points from 18 games, and were eight points clear of the eventual winners Chennaiyin FC....
