That’s the word from Mike Antinoro, senior vice president of IMG Original Content, who’s developing Leahy’s show for the sports cable network. Citing television inspirations like Roy Firestone’s old “Up Close” show on ESPN, Antinoro said Leahy’s first starring vehicle will feature in-depth “conversations” with athletes, celebrities and news-makers.

As ominous as the footage appears, it does have a definitive date, and that's all we need, really. Earlier Friday, the Lakers' star guard seemed to be a good bet to make his season debut Sunday at home against the Toronto Raptors, the Los Angeles Daily News reported. “Pretty good,” Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said of Bryant’s chances of playing Sunday before chuckling and offering, “I just opened up a can of worms....

Ahead of Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game in 2016, Nike released an ad featuring several of its athletes describing the man known for his “Mamba Mentality.” Each participant was asked to choose one word to summarize Bryant. Selfish. Obsessive. Tough. Winner. Fearless. Competitive. Relentless. A—hole. Bryant didn’t just want to win. He wanted his opponents to lose, to leave the court with nothing. Any player standing across from him was a speed bump on the road to victory....

The retired NBA superstar was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday morning near Los Angeles along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and another seven people. Throughout his 20-year career in the NBA, Bryant became one of the sport’s most successful and recognizable players.

As you can see below, the video begins with the New Day member looking to his left and right while seated in a vehicle. He then gets catapulted back in his chair, only to find out when he looks at a nearby camera that he now has blonde hair!

The 35-year-old took charge at the Weserstadion in November and has led the side from second bottom in the standings to 12th, after inheriting a team that began the season with 11-game winless run. Kohfeldt replaced Alexander Nouri and immediately oversaw improvements, leading Bremen to three victories in seven matches ahead of the mid-season break. Since the return of the Bundesliga in January, Kohfeldt’s side have been a force to be reckoned with, losing just two of their 11 Bundesliga matches and enjoying a nine-game unbeaten run at home....

Metal Gear Solid is one such game that fans would love to see a remake of, and it seems entirely possible - given that the series has had several different remakes throughout its existence. We’re even between releases of MGS remakes Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, but franchise creator, Hideo Kojima, seems to have mixed feelings when it comes to the idea of a potential re-imagining of his original baby....

Seeing he had an open run to the plate, he continued on and tried to slide head first just outside the batter’s box. It was a dive more than anything, but it at least (eventually) resulted in a run scored. The Bears would go on to lose the game to the NC Dinos, 2-1....

The attacker was on the score sheet as The Eagles registered a 2-0 home win at Commerzbank-Arena. The 30-year-old has now taken his season goal tally to four in the topflight. On his 20th league appearance for Niko Kovac’s outfit, Boateng broke the deadlock two minutes to half-time. The attacker scored from close range on the assist of Timothy Chandler, who delivered a cross from the right. The Ghanaian almost turned villain after recess when he fouled Lars Stindl inside the box for a penalty....

Inspired by Arjun Hoysala’s 61-ball 89, the Warriors thumped the Rockstars by a massive margin of 114 runs in front of a huge crowd at the KSCA stadium in Rajnagar on Sunday afternoon. Winning the toss and deciding to bat first under clear skies and bright sunshine, Mysuru’s top order got off to a solid start. The pitch had dried up and the ball came on nicely as openers Rajoo Bhatkal and Arjun Hoysala found out as they forged a formidable partnership upfront; compiling an 80-ball 113, before Bhatkal (46), trying to up the ante, fell prey to Balachandra Naveen’s bowling....

Brignetta Dickerson told Tennessee television news station WREG that at first, she and others thought the shots ringing out were balloons popping. But soon they realized the sound was gunshots, and she ran to the back of the store. “And, here he comes right behind us and started shooting. And, he kept on shooting, shooting, shooting. He shot one of my co-workers in the head and shot one of my customers in the stomach,” Dickerson said....
