The 32-year-old left Old Trafford over the summer on the back of a record-breaking 13-year spell. Dabblebet’s Premier League odds here He was a regular source of goals throughout an iconic stint at the Theatre of Dreams, but saw his game time and contribution to the cause dip towards the end. Rooney has, however, made a bright start to a second spell at Goodison Park – during a testing period for the Toffees – and was back on target in a crunch clash with West Ham....
Today’s episode of the podcast was the second to air without Jamil ‘Mal’ Clay and Rory Farrell, who usually appear alongside Parks Vallely and Joe Budden himself. In the wake of their repeated absences, fans have begun to ask questions online. As one fan tweeted: “Rory and Mal STILL not back??? Joe Budden, WE WANT ANSWERS.” Speaking on the latest episode, Budden offered to clear up some of the confusion before speculating went too far....

LONDON (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg’s shock retirement has given champions Mercedes a headache as they seek to fill Formula One’s most desirable drive. All the big names, apart from world champion Rosberg’s team mate Lewis Hamilton, are signed up for rival outfits who will be reluctant to let them go so late in the day. Red Bull have Australian Daniel Ricciardo and 19-year-old Dutch sensation Max Verstappen, the only drivers other than the Mercedes pair to win this season, tied up in contractual red tape for years to come....
Rose led Bradley by a shot heading on to the last, but was forced to play an extra hole after his par putt lipped out following a wayward drive left off the tee. And he subsequently bogeyed the 18th again as Bradley made par, leaving the 2013 U.S. Open champion with a bittersweet feeling, his top-two finish enough to usurp Dustin Johnson as number one. “It kind of takes a slight bit of the edge off [becoming number one],” Rose told Sky Sports of finishing second at the rain-affected tournament....
The Italian started Sunday’s race from 12th on the grid at Motegi and had made his way up to ninth before a major highside accident at turn seven. In wet conditions Rossi was unable to keep control of his Movistar Yamaha, describing the conditions as like “riding on ice”. Rossi was sent sprawling but luckily did no further damage to the fractured leg he has been riding with since September....
NEWSWEEK: Now that Jendayi Frazer has characterized the violence in Kenya as ethnic cleansing, has there been any discussion of sending in troops from the African Union, United Nations, or anywhere else? Robert Rotberg: No, no one’s talking about sending troops in. At what point might people start talking about that? If Kofi Annan’s mediation efforts fail, then somebody might talk about trying to move African troops in to separate the contending sides, but Kofi Annan is being reinforced today by [U....
Week 11 was a struggle for quarterbacks all around the league, including both Manning brothers. The Cardinals meanwhile don’t have any issues with Drew Stanton, and the NFC West leaders are putting a lot more pressure on their struggling division rivals, the Seahawks and 49ers. But, win or lose, fans as always are unhappy with performances from specific players. Here’s why those guys are hated this week. Arizona Cardinals Culprit: Doubters...

Compared to the big boys over at Stewart-Haas, Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, you could say RFR is a couple laps down … at best. This is the same organization that in 2005 placed all five of its drivers in the Chase — such a feat will never be repeated, as NASCAR now limits teams to four drivers....
England manager Roy Hodgson has nothing but praise for his players following the hard fought and well earned 1–0 triumph over Ukraine at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev on Tuesday.

Roy Hodgson: “Whatever level you are playing, if you don’t have courage, strength and discipline, you won’t go very far....
RCB had lost two consecutive matches to give themselves plenty of work to do in their quest for a top-four finish, but they claimed only a third win of the tournament at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday.

Jason Vargas pitched solid, but not good enough for any players that are struggling offensively to say, “Vargy pitched good.” He went 6.1 innings while only allowing 1 ER. During Vargas’ 6+ innings of work, I found this game to be very, very uninteresting. After the Royals 3-run third inning, they did not have a single hit until the 7th inning. The real Royaling didn’t start until the 7th inning....
Yet the relationship between Gobert and Mitchell feels more like that of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant with the Lakers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The bad news for Utah is that comparison is drawn because Gobert and Mitchell aren’t exactly the best of friends. At least Shaq and Kobe helped Los Angeles win three NBA championships after Malone and Stockton failed to win one. Talent level and superstardom aside, there’s another key difference between today’s Gobert-Mitchell pairing and yesterday’s Shaq-Kobe duo: O’Neal never pissed off Bryant by recklessly exposing him to an infections disease during a global pandemic....
Just a typical day in TV land? In fact, the “Buffy” shenanigans are the latest round in a slugfest between two of the world’s largest media superpowers–AOL Time Warner, the WB’s parent, and Viacom CBS, UPN’s owner. Both companies were formed in the past two years by blockbuster acquisitions. Steve Case’s AOL acquired Time Warner for more than $100 billion, and Sumner Redstone’s Viacom paid nearly $40 billion for CBS....
On Twitter, user firubiii shared files for Kirby Fighters 2 that reference things like “Kirby3d” and “sample” programs for various Kirby franchise characters like Blade Knight and Waddle Dee. The dataminer said that the code is “up to standards” of recent main series Kirby games, and that they also found a “bunch” of experimental test projects in Fighters 2’s files. This could just be left-over code from Kirby Fighters 2, but it could also be a hint that Nintendo has something more significant in development....
Bungie has three job listings on its site that seem to offer information about its new IP. A listing for an incubation investment designer said that “living inside a giant database of hundreds of baubles, weapons, and armor” should be “nothing new” to the hired Bungie developer and that they will also be comfortable “building a system to cleverly distribute those items in a necromancer’s dungeon.” The same listing talks about an RPG game system and being “the glue between the sword and the reward” and confirms that the game will feature loot and in-game items....
