The pressure on Palace increased even before kickoff when Swansea City’s shock win at Liverpool left the London club in the relegation places. Had Christian Benteke’s header found the net rather than the crossbar early on the jitters may have settled but Everton responded to dominate the game and took the points when Seamus Coleman fired the winner in the 87th minute. Tom Davies split the Palace defence and Coleman did the rest with a shot that gave keeper Wayne Hennessey no chance....

Colin Cowherd had the same thought, except he works for the worldwide leader. On “The Herd,” Cowherd laid it on his employer for airing the tournament. He also made a declaration that he would never cover that and if he’s assigned to it, he’ll end his tenure with ESPN.

The meeting took place Thursday, according to multiple reports, but was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Kaepernick’s 2016 base salary of $11.9 million became guaranteed on Thursday, meaning the Broncos would have to clear some cap space to consummate a trade. MORE: Ideal NFL Mock Draft | Eagles quarterback plans Thursday was reportedly at least the second time Elway has met with Kaepernick and a deal could be imminent, according to ESPN....

Sources told Yahoo Kaepernick “wanted to showcase his commitment to getting back into the league, even if it took place under a warped timeline from the NFL.” There was some speculation during the week that Kaepernick could drop out due to the bizarre nature of how the workout came together. His representatives were also upset that the NFL reportedly backed out of its agreement to provide a list of attendees....

Miscreant NFL stars can get away with a lot of things and still play in the league, said ESPN’s Jemele Hill. But the Kaepernick saga may prove that an unpardonable sin for players is to be seen as “anti-American,” says the new co-host of ESPN’s 6 p.m. ET “SportsCenter” with Michael Smith. The NFL has given second chances to domestic abusers, drunken drivers and other criminal athletes, Hill tweeted. But an “un-American” player accused of singlehandely driving down the NFL’s formerly impregnable TV ratings?...

But will it make a difference? Outside of a handful of suspensions, the curtain pullback of the sport’s worst-kept secret had little impact last year. The 2018-19 season could take a similar route. Two trials are still coming and more details could emerge from a federal investigation into shady recruiting practices, so college basketball may still feel a major jolt. But the sport is perhaps better than ever on the court....

On Monday, Trump’s reelection campaign paid a visit to the University of Akron, a public institution in Akron, Ohio, the first stop in its youth engagement program. A national initiative aptly dubbed, Make Campus Great Again, the program aimed to register voters and help secure supporters for Trump among a younger audience. Traditionally, the college-aged demographic has aligned with the Democratic Party and in response to the Trump campaign’s kickoff event, the College Democrats offered their own message....

In the tense exchange, Eastman, who spoke at the January 6 “Save America” rally, told Smerconish there was not a connection between the protesters he addressed and the rioters who breached the Capitol. Smerconish asked about language that Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, another of Trump’s attorneys, used during the rally, and about his responsibility in the rioters’ attack on the Capitol. He played a clip of Eastman telling rally-goers, “This is bigger than President Trump....

Young Souls is an indie, co-op, game with brawler-style gameplay and RPG elements. The game has a 2D art style and side-scrolling gameplay similar to Streets of Rage 4. It follows a pair of orphan twins, Jenn and Tristan, who have embarked on a journey through a portal between worlds to find their foster father who is a loving yet mysterious scientist all while fighting goblins and other enemies. The game has been out on Stadia as a preview for anyone who wants to check it out....

The idea starts with a collaborative writing project named the SCP Foundation. The SCP Foundation combines thousands of stories, documents, and more to create a supernatural shared universe. One such story is titled SCP-3008, which refers to an ex-IKEA building that teleports visitors to an alternate world where the building is endless and full of monsters. It was this story, SCP-3008, that inspired developer Zippy to create The Store is Closed....

Todd Stashwick, who was co-writing the game with Uncharted series writer Amy Hennig, recently took to Twitter to speak about Visceral’s version of the Star Wars game. Stashwick’s full tweet can be found below, but perhaps the most interesting bit from it is that Stashwick describes the game as “fun and funny.” Visceral is known for making dark, gritty games like Dead Space and Battlefield: Hardline, so it is somewhat surprising that its Star Wars game was apparently lighthearted....

Plucky PKNP FC are one step away from clinching a place in the 2017 Malaysia Cup semi-final, heady heights for the small club from Ipoh. Still in with a chance to achieve promotion from the Premier League to the Super League, and plus their performances in the FA Cup earlier in the season when they reached the quarterfinal stage, Abu Bakar Fadzim’s team are certainly riding on a crest of wave....

Allen apparently tripped Florida State’s Xavier Rathan-Mayes last week, which led many to argue the star shooting guard should be suspended because this was his second such incident this season. The ACC disagreed, and announced its decision not to reprimand the Blue Devils’ leading scorer Friday and “considers the matter closed.” MORE: If you’re a college hoops fan, you probably hate these players Krzyzewski, who apologized to Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton, agreed with the conference’s decision....

Their goal never has been to play these games to entertain the season ticket holders or TV fans. And now, more than ever, they’ve made it clear it’s not to let their best players get broken. FANTASY FOOTBALL: Top 200 rankings | Latest mock draft Never in the fourth and final week, the norm for years now. Less and less in the first two weeks, where they’ve graduated from sitting down after a couple of possessions to not playing at all....

Tatum gave the command to start engines before the Coca-Cola 600 (skip to :36 of the clip below), and he did it with gusto. MORE: Coca-Cola 600 updates The Charlotte Observer reported Tatum mingled, unannounced, with race fans as he made his way around the track. “Logan Lucky,” which stars Tatum and Daniel Craig (yes, the Daniel Craig who plays James Bond) is set for a summer release.

Scorestreaks are a controversial reward system in Cold War. Unlike the killstreak feature found in many other Call of Duty games that rewarded players based on the number of kills they acquired without dying, Cold War players earn points to call in different rewards through getting kills, playing objectives, and more. These scorestreaks allow players to gain a competitive advantage in battles through rewards such as UAVs or Care Packages....

In an interview with Dana Loesch for The First, ‘Chaos’ gave White props for standing his ground against the “woke mob.” You can watch the interview with Colby Covington below: The 33-year-old hasn’t always shared a healthy relationship with White. A few years ago, ‘Chaos’ confronted the UFC president in a casino, asking why he was not being given a shot at the title. Covington, who was recording the entire incident, was told by White to stop filming....

This week the 46-year-old was able to get away from the cold in England to a week of warm temperature almost 11,000km away in the small Southeast Asian country, Malaysia. Cole is in Kuala Lumpur as part of convoy sent by English Premier League in a new partnership with Cadbury, one of the world’s largest confectionary brands. A group of kids under the age of 12 from the National Football Development Programme of Malaysia were privileged to spent a good 2 hours working on drills guided by Cole and other coaches....

The Chinese Super League side have been on the hunt for a new coach since Pellegrini left on May 19, taking up the vacant position at West Ham. Coleman had been without a job following his Sunderland sacking at the end of April, a result of the club’s relegation from the Championship. The Welshman had only been at the club since November, but he was unable to steady the ship after a disastrous start to the campaign – Sunderland ultimately suffering back-to-back relegations....
