So far, the answer has been an emphatic “No.” The USA West representative has been nothing short of dominant thus far in the Little League World Series, winning by more than 10 runs per game, on average. One of those wins was a 13-0 victory over Southeast representative Tennessee, which they’ll be facing in the USA final Saturday. Tennessee, coming out of the elimination bracket, is coming off a convincing win over Texas led by Josiah Porter’s first-inning grand slam....

What channel is the NASCAR race on today? What time does the NASCAR race start? These are the questions that plague race fans every Sunday — or, in this case, Saturday — when each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race will be on either FOX or FS1 for the first half of the 2019 season with differing start times. As for Saturday’s All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the channel that will broadcast the race is FS1....

Rodgers silenced any critics who thought he may be over the hill by lighting up a Minnesota secondary with 364 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay’s 43-34 opening win.

Sunday marks the home opener for Green Bay in the 2020 NFL season, and it will be a strange sight as Lameau Field will be without fans....

Smith and the Seahawks will have to face off against one of the toughest defenses in the league as they prepare to take on the Saints on “Monday Night Football....

The Steelers (11-3) have now lost three straight after their embarrassing loss to Cincinnati on “Monday Night Football” in which Pittsburgh trailed 17-0 at halftime. The Bengals had just 89 yards off passing offense, yet the Steelers have been unable to muster anything of their own in way of offense. Ben Roethlisberger was held to fewer than 190 passing yards for consecutive weeks and has thrown six interceptions in the last five games after only throwing four in Pittsburgh’s first nine games....

Tottenham Hotspur have exceeded expectations this season and are currently at the top of the Premier League table. The Spurs have excelled in the final third under Jose Mourinho and are perfectly capable of easing to a victory against the Gunners this weekend. Arsenal, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have been well below their best this season. The Gunners slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Wolves last week and Mikel Arteta will have to ensure that his team is resurgent going into this game....

This may come as a surprise, given the lukewarm reception to the game from critics. Although Star Wars Battlefront looks, sounds, and feels incredibly authentic for Star Wars fans, there has been criticism over a perceived lack of depth, with worries that the fun may run out quite quickly. With only 12 maps available, spread thin across four locations and a limited number of game modes, there’s a real worry that the game may have little by way of replayability....

With nothing officially confirmed, it is difficult to know with certainty what is going on at the studio. Furthermore, Kojima is fond of springing surprises on gamers. Nevertheless, gamers waiting for the Xbox game shouldn’t expect it to come anytime soon. RELATED: Death Stranding 2’s BTs Could Be More Intimidating Than Ever Before Death Stranding 2’s Release Date Allegedly Leaked When Death Stranding was released in 2019, gamers were treated to yet another eccentric experience from Kojima....

What Are Axolotls Purpose in Minecraft? Axolotls can spawn in any underground water source in Minecraft, assuming the player meets a few caveats. These include the need for the underground water source to be in total darkness and below sea level (y63). They are generally indifferent to the player but can help them when battling other underwater and hostile creatures. If a player defeats a mob that an axolotl is attacking, they gain the Regeneration status effect and have Mining Fatigue removed from them if it currently exists....

“Pet owners can actually help to create a fussy eater by taking advantage of the huge variety among cat foods” and for some cats, providing many food choices can be overwhelming, explained veterinarians Krista Williams and Robin Downing in an article for VCA Animal Hospitals. Eating is an activity in itself for indoor cats, given their lack of environmental stimulation. Regular feeding can help alleviate and prevent stress-related health concerns, such as cystitis as well as inactivity, overeating and other obesity-related problems, according to a 2018 consensus statement on how to feed a cat released by the American Association of Feline Practitioner....

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was a big reason why last year’s Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view hit more than one million purchases. Tyson headlined the card, of course, but FITE TV CEO Mike Weber told Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Iole that Paul’s knockout victory against former NBA player Nate Robinson shouldn’t be overlooked when discussing the success of the event. “Tyson is like Muhammad Ali; everyone knows the name. If you don’t follow boxing, if you don’t know a thing about boxing, you still know who Mike Tyson is,” Weber said....

Saturday’s game between the fifth-ranked Wolverines and 10th-ranked Nittany Lions is the 12th time these teams have met as ranked opponents, dating back to their first-ever meeting in 1993. It’s only the third time they have met as top-10 opponents, with the teams splitting the previous two matchups. Curiously, the winner of those games — Penn State in 1994, Michigan in 1997 — went on to finish the season undefeated....

The Cyclones (8-3) have only finished a season ranked one other time (No. 25 in 2000) but will still be left with a sour taste after squandering an outsider’s chance at making the College Football Playoff by losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship despite beating the Sooners earlier in the season. Iowa State has the nation’s leading rusher, Breece Hall, who totaled 1,436 yards and 19 touchdowns on the year and have a more-than-competent quarterback in Brock Purdy who passed for 2,594 yards and 18 touchdowns....
