A week after it looked like the Jim Harbaugh era might trend in a different direction, the program ended up in the same unenviable place: Michigan State beat No. 13 Michigan 27-24 in a game that would have to be considered the worst loss under Harbaugh. That’s right. It is the worst loss under Harbaugh. MORE: Big Ten overreactions from Week 1 Worse than the “punt fumble” against the Spartans in 2015; worse than the annual root-canal blowouts against Ohio State; worse than the bowl flops or all those top-10 letdowns under Harbaugh....

Metroid games are known for their difficulty, and Metroid Dread is no exception. Many players have mentioned how hard it is, and mentioned how often they’ve seen Samus’ suit explode open as they die in the game. However, it seems that by accident, those who own Metroid amiibos are at an advantage, as they offer in-game health and missile refills when used daily - the ‘daily’ part being the keyword....

The 58-year-old Darling took a leave of absence from the SNY broadcast booth in mid-April after announcing on the air doctors had discovered a mass in his chest. “After the removal of the mass on my chest along with further tests, I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer,” Darling said in a statement via Twitter. “My doctors have said they are optimistic the cancer is treatable and that I would be back on air talking baseball in the next month or so....

Porter acknowledged sending the messages, including one of an exposed penis but told ESPN the explicit photos were “kinda like joke-stock images” and not his own genitals. Mets president Sandy Alderson said in a statement that the club would investigate the matter. Porter, 41, was hired by the team last month as it established new front-office roles under owner Steve Cohen. “I have spoken directly with Jared Porter regarding events that took place in 2016 of which we were made aware tonight for the first time,” Alderson told ESPN....

During a Facebook Live interview with Mike and Mike’s Molly Qerim, World Peace talked about the 2001 incident.

The recent trailer of Metal Gear Solid: Rising shown at E3 this year got fans of the series excited to find out how Raiden transformed from the annoying whiner of MGS 2 into the acrobatic ninja robot of MGS 4. Even with very brief footage of MGS: Rising gameplay shown, people are excited about this game. This excitement is most likely coming from fan’s love for the story and characters made famous by Hideo Kojima and his team....

Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 2 was officially confirmed on 11 September alongside the Mi Note 3 and Mi Notebook Pro. It has a 12 percent smaller chin than the original Mi Mix, and a slightly smaller 5.99in virtually full-screen display. This means it now has an 18:9 rather than 17:9 aspect ratio, matching the Samsung Galaxy flagships. The difference here of course is that it is ‘only’ full-HD in resolution....

MI5 and counterterrorism police were already aware that Usman Khan, who had just been released from prison for his involvement in plotting a terrorist training camp, aspired to carry out an attack at the time he stabbed two people to death and injured three others at a prisoner rehabilitation event. Khan’s probation officers and release supervisors were unaware of the probe. A prison psychologist had warned at the time that he was even more at risk of harming the public ahead of his release, providing a list of warning signs to authorities....

Before we dive into the preview of the final, let’s look at the honorable mentions who put in exemplary efforts in the past fortnight. Hsieh Su-wei The tournament would not have been the same without the inspired performance from the Taiwanese star. She overcame, and quite frankly outplayed, some of the most fancied opponents this week including the top ranked player in the world, Naomi Osaka. She is coming back for more too, preparing for the clay season already....

Julie K. Brown, a Miami Herald investigative reporter who has been covering the alleged sex trafficking crimes of Epstein for the past several years, joined MSNBC Sunday morning to discuss the evidence against Epstein and the “rogues gallery” of rich, powerful, and famous people who are suspected to have used his services. “Have you seen that nexus of power come to bare as you have reported this, and in the aftermath of your reporting,” MSNBC host David Gura asked Brown....

Urs Sullivan, a University of Miami graduate and employee at the university, was concerned about not having someone to walk her down the aisle. And although no one could replace her father, the university’s athletic department stepped up and provided a replacement: Sebastian the Ibis. “When my dad passed away, I dreaded walking down the aisle without him and wasn’t sure how I’d make it through the moment,” she wrote on her Facebook page....

Suarez said New Yorkers and other Northern, big city expatriates should realize that if they come to Florida, the answer is not to “tax your way into prosperity,” which will end up driving out businesses. Suarez and innumerable Florida residents touting “Don’t New York my Florida” products on social media are seizing on a similar complaint from Texas residents: Too many California residents are moving in with arguably failed “blue state” ideas....

Rodney McGruder scored 17, Justise Winslow added 13 points and Josh Richardson added 12 for the Heat. Bam Adebayo grabbed 16 rebounds for Miami — giving him three more than the entire Brooklyn starting lineup had combined. The Heat were without Goran Dragic (left calf strain) and Hassan Whiteside (left hip strain). James Johnson, who has been out with a sprained shoulder, was in uniform but did not play....

He also was unable to immediately recall how many defensive backs he’s worked alongside because of the injuries that have hit the Packers’ secondary. “That’s a good question,” a laughing Hyde told co-host Bill Polian and me earlier this week on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “I’ve got to sit down and actually think about that.” Fortunately for Green Bay, Hyde hasn’t sat for a game this season. If he had, Hyde and his teammates might be watching on the couch rather than playing in Sunday’s NFC title game at Atlanta....

Carter-Williams’ jump shot has always been a concern. But as a 23-year-old in his second season in the NBA, his regression in 2014-15 set him on a concerning trajectory. With the Bucks hoping to be more than a Cinderella story in the Eastern Conference, their long-term potential hinges greatly on his ability to transform his game.

“It’s worse than what I thought it was going to be,” Vick told CSNPhilly.com. “It’s just slow.
