Rather than bet on a return to pre-pandemic normalcy, we need to create a different normal in which we remain vigilant about the health risks while finding safe, productive ways to work, play, mix, mingle and be happy that are rooted in our new reality. Fortunately, the early signs are that 2022 has a lot to offer to help us do that, to make that new reality interesting, innovative, informative and, at least some of the time, just plain fun....

According to a study published in the Youth Sports Trust report, almost one in four children think that playing video games with friends qualifies as being active. Although taking down bosses in a World of Warcraft raid or fiercely competing in a game of Splatoon can both leave gamers out of breath, most of us would agree that sitting down and gaming isn’t exactly an “active” exercise. The study had a respectable sample size, including 1,000 children between the ages of five and 16....

1992-1993 A season that saw Manchester United take their first title in 26 years, also saw the change in the tides of a lot of clubs. Especially for clubs like Leeds United who were the champions in the previous season and finished 17th during the course of this season and Nottingham Forest were relegated following which legendary manager Brian Clough retired. The ecstatic celebrations of Sir Alex Ferguson and his staff was to become something of a regular sight, who knew?...

Written by Game Rant’s Riley Little and Anthony Mole. After months of speculation, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is finally official, and it’s coming to the PlayStation 3 later this year. With anticipation building for the newly revealed crossover-focused blockbuster, it’s not surprising that speculation pertaining to which characters will make a playable appearance has begun to build up. There are many one-hit wonders and franchises that have had a prominent role in Sony’s past, and with third-party characters officially making an appearance, there’s no telling who will make the final cut....

Newsweek debunks outdated diet data and reveals what you really need to know about adopting healthy habits. The ‘Calories In, Calories Out’ ‘Calories In, Calories Out’ (CICO) is a fundamental concept in body weight regulation and extremely close to scientific fact—however, the logic of this viewpoint is problematic, as it prevents people from seeing the bigger picture. Relying solely on a low-calorie diet does not account the large number of variables that may prevent people from losing weight....

Subjective also means this isn’t an official ranking. You may have heard this past spring that an organization of liberal-arts colleges called the Annapolis Group issued a statement saying some member schools would stop participating in the part of the U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey in which college administrators assess peer schools using a numerical system. The move was a reaction to a longstanding controversy about the usefulness of numerical listings that order institutions by how they fare on a range of statistical measures....

The two have met each other only once previously, at last year’s Cincinnati Masters, which the Swiss Maestro won in straight sets. Federer is an overwhelming favourite in this match. But in recent times, we have seen him begin tournaments rather shakily. Though he has come to Indian Wells on the back of a hundredth ATP title at Dubai, he was quite inconsistent to begin with there as well, and struggled to close out the first two matches....

Shooters shoot could be the tagline for the modern NBA, and that’s true of nearly every player in this list, too. The three-pointer has never been more popular, and its a frequent contribution almost no matter who you pick at this position – Donovan Mitchell, D’Angelo Russell, Gary Harris, and of course, JJ Redick. You can take comfort in that fact, that no matter where you decide to target a SG or two in the draft, you’ll be getting long-distance shooting....

The best early odds for the award (according to MyBookie) are tied to five of the first six defensive players selected in ‘19. But history shows linebackers, with their easier transition to the pro game and ability to rack up stats, tend to win it, much like running backs on offense. The Colts’ Darius Leonard was the latest in ‘18, the first since the Panthers’ Luke Kuechly in ‘12....

The Cardinals made history on Wednesday night, becoming the first team to score 10 runs in the first inning of a playoff game as they thrashed the Braves 13-1 in Atlanta in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Only three other teams had scored 10 runs in a postseason inning before and the Cardinals had found themselves on the receiving end on one of those occasions, as they conceded a double-digit output against the Detroit Tigers in the 1968 World Series....
