Spieth enjoyed a superb year as he charged to the top of the world rankings thanks to back-to-back major wins at the Masters and U.S. Open and being in contention at the year’s other two majors, the British Open and PGA Championship. His play outpaced that of McIlroy, who finished 2014 with two major wins of his own, as the Northern Irishman was unable to replicate that form before an ankle injury hindered his success....

Support for spending reform used to be a low-risk exercise for Senate Democrats, because there was little chance of passage. But with prospects for the bill stronger than ever, some lawmakers are getting twitchy about actually having to say goodbye to soft money. Sen. John Breaux of Louisiana became the first to officially break ranks despite having voted for McCain-Feingold several times in the last few years. Breaux says the bill would put Democrats at a competitive disadvantage against Republicans, who enjoy a deeper base of donors for so-called hard-money contributions to individual candidates....
And like many fans, Williams is fed up with all of ESPN’s “green room” talk regarding the nation’s best players and the NBA Draft. WATCH: Wisconsin women’s coach has epic rant about laziness ESPN, led mainly by Dick Vitale, has been pontificating about certain players being “green room” players, which means they will be one of the first guys chosen in this year’s NBA Draft. Except that the draft is still almost six months away, and there are months of these players’ college careers still left to play....
The coveted number 30 spot (or 20/40 depending on the year) isn’t actually the best position to be for most wrestlers that it’s made out to be, more often than not the late entrant is a hyped up nobody whose more bridesmaid than the actual bride. For quite a while there, nobody had managed to win from number 30, up until the Undertaker stole the show in 2007. Since then there have been three rumble winners who were the final entrant, that’s just one more than the risky number one and number two spots (each with two wins apiece)....

Elizabeth was Britain’s longest-serving monarch, with the jubilee celebrations taking place in London just three months before her death in September 2022. Elizabeth’s starring role in the Paddington skit was kept a secret from her family, meaning the first Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Charles and Camilla knew of her involvement was when they watched it on big screens outside Buckingham Palace....

Dembele has been suspended indefinitely by Dortmund, having missed training without permission immediately after Barca had a bid for the 20-year-old France international rejected. BVB 6/1 to win Bundesliga Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke criticised Barcelona’s role in the saga over the weekend, while Rummenigge’s Bayern boardroom colleague Uli Hoeness condemned the Liga giants’ conduct as “the lowest class”.

Ever since entertainment industry heads discovered they could wring more money out of existing intellectual properties by way of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, executives have risked further stretching and snapping their companies’ established goodwill with fans by rebooting franchises. Sure, a lot of people consider the concept lazy, but with successes like Square Enix’s re-imagining of Tomb Raider and NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat relaunch several years back, it’s been lucrative business for the gaming industry....

Speaking of zombies, the leaker also claims that a dedicated Zombies mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was planned at some point, but was scrapped about a year and a half ago....
Another popular rumor, a remaster of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s campaign was first hinted at by leaker @ModernWarzone back in November of last year. Supposedly getting the information from their sources, @ModernWarzone teased that the project was supposedly in development. Given the success of the campaign remaster for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it would make sense for the final game in the original trilogy to see its story receive a visual upgrade as well — though it is worth noting that no such remaster has been confirmed by Activision....
