Patrick Baldwin’s decision to attend Milwaukee and compete in the Horizon League was more than this. It was something we haven’t seen in the modern era of recruiting.

When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, every detail, no matter how big or small, can serve as an indicator of grander things to come. Sometimes, it’s as obvious as a post-credits scene that sets up a brand new story arc, and other times it’s a much more subtle clue that somehow ties to a greater scheme. After more than a decade of exposure to Marvel Studios’ signature technique of plot weaving and connected storylines, fans now know to pay very close attention to anything that could hint at a future development within the MCU, and Olsen noted that this is often a means of leaving no door closed....

The findings by the nonprofit investigative journalism organization ProPublica illustrated that billionaires are able to shrink their income tax to nothing or close to it—strategies that have prompted Warren and fellow progressive Senator Bernie Sanders to speak out about it. Warren tweeted on Tuesday: “Our tax system is rigged for billionaires who don’t make their fortunes through income, like working families do. The evidence is abundantly clear: it is time for a #WealthTax in America to make the ultra-rich finally pay their fair share....

England’s golden generation featured world-class talents such as Michael Owen, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole, and more.

The former Three Lions forward reckoned that there were multiple countries that had better squads than England at the time....

There are signs that the six-ton elephant, thought to be 55, remembers her decades as a circus performer and years as a zoo curiosity. Now, after a border crossing from Argentina that was nearly scrubbed over coronavirus fears, she has the run of an animal sanctuary in Brazil’s midwestern Mato Grosso state.

The star running back had 25 carries and four catches on his way to a career-high 240 yards from scrimmage in a 26-24 win over Detroit on Sunday.
