Political parties are not mentioned in our Constitution. Both our first and second presidents, George Washington and John Adams, warned us against them. In his Farewell Address, Washington said, “The spirit of party … serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration.

It wasn’t a shoot-to-score shot — rather it was more intended on creating further trouble for the Flames in front of their own net. But right now, Carlson can’t miss. The shot snuck right past Talbot’s left side. After he scored an empty-net goal to help seal the Capitals’ 5-3 win, No. 74 had 20 points to his name this season — the most in the NHL through Oct. 23....

No. 10 Washington made the first top-10 showdown statement of the weekend with a resounding 44-6 victory against No. 7 Stanford on Friday. MORE: What we learned from Washington’s win It’s going to create a lot more noise. Third-year coach Chris Petersen spent the better part of the offseason trying to downplay the expectations for a chic sleeper playoff pick, and it will be tough to hold those expectations down given the way Washington seized control of the Pac-12 North race Friday....

The family of Kenny Williams, who died on June 12, 2019, after breast cancer spread to his bones, will receive $3.75 million.

After losing to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, Erik Spoelstra’s men will look to redeem themselves. Following an exceptional stint last season, Miami Heat would be disappointed in themselves for the kind of start they have had to the season. Miami Heat currently stand at the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference with a 7-14 record followed by the Washington Wizards, who did climb one spot after their recent 103-100 win....

The Sixers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, with a record of six wins and one loss, they sit atop the Eastern Conference table. Joel Embiid continues to dominate games with contributions on both ends of the floor and the Sixers have five players scoring in double-digits thus far. Meanwhile, the Wizards have turned things around in their last two games. After defeating the Timberwolves 130-109, they registered an impressive 123-122 win over the Brooklyn Nets....

Alex Albon has begun training for his highly-anticipated return to the sport, albeit with ‘alternate’ training moves.

“On the bus on the way back to the hotel after the game (Edgbaston Test), John Buchanan called a team meeting.

Then he said, ‘But why didn’t we play well?...

Melbourne, Oct 29 (PTI) Cricket Australia will not reconsider reducing the ban on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft in the ball-tampering case despite a series against a full-strength India awaiting them next month.

As Warner had been set to captain the IPL side, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been required to step up - but Moody does not see that as a big issue. “Warner batted and led the team well and was an important member of our team,” Moody said....

On NFL Network last Wednesday, Warner chided the gradual drop in Bridgewater's stock since the Louisville quarterback's March 17 pro day, which was universally graded as subpar.

Much like the bunkers on the Warzone map, players believe that the massive stadium will open as well. As of now, players can only roam the exterior, but according to a leak by Twitter user “ModernWarzone,” an interior has been added to the stadium. Having an accessible interior for the stadium would be a huge upgrade to the map, as the stadium is about twice the size of prison....

Kohberger agreed on Tuesday to be extradited from Pennsylvania to face charges in Idaho....

All of the controversies have called into question whether or not the sequel trilogy was really worth it in the end. Would it have been better for them to never have been made at all and had no new Star Wars content? Were the new stories, as jumbled as they were, worth the price of constant fan wars and an incredibly dissatisfying ending (for a lot of fans) to a beloved series of movies?...

Here is Washington’s statement, as released by the team: “Today, I have submitted my resignation from the job I love — managing the Rangers — in order to devote my full attention to addressing an off-the-field personal matter. As painful as it is, stepping away from the game is what’s best for me and my family. “This is in no way related to the disappointing performance of the team this season....
