And that’s almost the last anyone’s seen him in any uniform. Altidore has begun the 2014-15 Barclay’s Premier League season where he ended the last: as a substitute generally entering Sunderland’s games with about 20 minutes remaining, most often asked to use his superior strength and improving ball skills to help his team chew up time and seal a desirable result. There is a value to this, but it’s not why the club paid nearly $12 million for him....

Late Wednesday night, social media posts under the name of Jones’ brother, Devonte, said the 6-5, 250-pounder, who helped lead OSU to a national championship last season, was rushed to a local hospital with a severe headache. MORE: Cardale Jones in photos | Meyer still debating if he’ll use Barrett, Jones UPDATE: Later Wednesday, Jones’ mother told the Toledo Blade that her son was doing OK.

The St. Louis right-hander was all smiles early in the afternoon when his twins, Miles and Madelyn, were released from the hospital for the first time after being born prematurely a month ago. That good feeling continued hours later as Mikolas tossed six effective innings to push the St. Louis Cardinals into the second wild-card spot in the NL with a 7-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. “A special day,” Mikolas said....

St. Louis inquired about multiple starting pitchers, including Zack Wheeler, Robbie Ray and Mike Minor, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But, the team ended up making just one deal — sending Jedd Gyorko to the Dodgers in exchange for reliever Tony Cingrani and a minor leaguer. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak discussed the team’s lack of moves when he met with reporters after the deadline. “We never got to a point we felt we could get a deal done,” Mozeliak said....

When it did, they pounced. Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to provide St. Louis with a much-needed spark, and the Cardinals took advantage of a bumpy outing by Pittsburgh’s bullpen to slip past the Pirates 6-5 in 11 innings on Monday. The Cardinals rallied to tie it in the eighth and again in the ninth then took their first and only lead in the 11th. Paul DeJong singled off Steven Brault (0-1) with two outs, moved to third after a hit batter and a walk and sprinted home from third when Pirates reliever Nick Kingham and catcher Francisco Cervelli got crossed up....

Rumors of Schweinsteiger’s return to his former club started flying when Bayern president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that the door is open for the 32-year-old to return to Bundesliga Champions. “Should he speak at some point about a desire to return, then we will discuss it with him,” said Rummenigge to Sport Bild. Bayern Captain Phillip Lahm had also echoed these sentiments and said, “Basti knows everyone and everything here; he would be predestined to work in the team....

Graves’ tweet was met with a response from none other than Carmella. The duo’s relationship isn’t exactly a secret after Carmella made it public on an episode of Total Divas last year. The former SmackDown Live Women’s Champion took a dig at Graves and stated that she feels bad for him. Carmella added that she wishes Mandy accepts him at this point.

OK, I’m lying, but only partially. Palmer did turn 36 today and he did dress up as a hula dancer, but not because he’s desiring a career change. Each week the Cardinals’ quarterbacks make a bet and clearly, Palmer was this week’s loser.

As with any beauty pageant, the fighting behind the scenes has been fierce and at times catty. Contestants have implied that rival designs are pedestrian, dished unflattering spin about each other to the media and bickered over which plan boasts the bigger aquarium or best protects animal rights. Eighth Wonder boss Mark Advent even accused Merrill Lynch of bias after it issued a report that tipped Genting to win the contract, suggesting a conflict of interest because the brokerage once helped the Malaysian company go public....

In footage posted to TikTok by Stlrgrl8717, a black and white cat can be seen squeezing under a door. The pet, whose name is Holly, navigates the tight spot by going head first, then twisting her body from side to side as she shuffles on the carpet. The manoeuvre is so impressive that it appears as though the cat has turned to liquid in order to get under the door....

Cats are known for being cunning pets, which can sometimes prove detrimental to their owners, as TikTok user lilmilmil found. According to Fear Free Happy Homes, an organization that aims to alleviate anxiety and stress in pets, an adult cat’s intelligence is comparable to that of a 2-year-old human toddler. Citing studies, the organization said cats have shown an awareness of objects that are not directly visible. In a viral post shared on TikTok, lilmilmil wrote that she now knew where her chicken had been disappearing to....

The viral clip, shared on TikTok by Chezcone, shows the cat, which appears to be a calico, walking up to a toy store, grabbing one of the monkey-shaped teddy bears, and then running away as if it knew what it had done, while the shop owner briefly tried to go after it. Chezcone explained in his video that the cat had just stolen another one from the same shop a few minutes prior, but it turned out that that wasn’t its first catch, in fact, it had at least three others, probably taken from the same shop....

Appropriately named YouTube channel Star Wars Explained just released an hour-long video going through the entire canon timeline of the Star Wars series as of 2021, and in this case, the entire canon timeline means the entire canon timeline. This means that even the fans who love the series to death, watching and rewatching every movie and series annually, have probably missed something that’s in this video. That’s how in-depth it is....

North Dakota’s favorite twin sisters both played critical roles in Team USA’s come-from-behind victory over Team Canada in the gold-medal game. Monique scored the game-tying goal on a breakaway 13:39 into the third period. Later, after a scoreless overtime, Jocelyne scored what is now perhaps the most famous goal in the history of women’s hockey in the shootout. In other words, they both earned every ounce of their gold medals and then some....

A urinary tract infection happens when bacteria are able to enter the urinary tract and begins to multiply. Typically, the urinary tract is sterile, meaning that bacteria do not belong there and the area is usually free of bacteria in a healthy individual. The placement of a urinary catheter, or a Foley catheter, increases the risk of a urinary tract infection. The placement of the catheter is done using sterile techniques, yet there is still the possibility of bacteria being introduced into the urinary tract....

Last Saturday, Simon finally got his chance to play Johannesburg. South African troops and police ringed Ellis Park sports stadium, dogs patrolled for bombs and a police helicoptor buzzed overhead as Simon kicked off his four-city South Africa tour before 30,000 to 40,000-predominantly white-fans. The run-up to the concerts had featured grenade blasts, tense press conferences and fruitless meetings with black militants young enough to be the 50-year-old Simon’s sons....
