Chauvin, 45, is predicted to face a sentence of 20 to 25 years, according to legal experts, the Associated Press reported. He was convicted on charges of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the death of Floyd, a Black man, who died at 46 after Chauvin put a knee to his neck on May 25 last year. “There was nothing typical about what Derek Chauvin did in torturing George Floyd to death....

Game of Thrones aired from 2011 to 2019, but the landscape over at HBO was different then. HBO Max did not launch until 2020, and Warner Bros. was acquired by Discovery shortly after. The new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, has since made several controversial calls, including the cancellation of several projects over at HBO Max.

Gore needed an enemy to attack. He seemed motivated less by a vision for the country than by the need to best an opponent. It didn’t much matter which one. He hadn’t disliked Bill Bradley. His attitude toward Bradley’s challenge was more “let’s get it over with,” said an aide. Yet even after Gore had sewn up the nomination, he kept on robotically attacking Bradley in primaries that were, for all intents and purposes, meaningless....

Starting his career at just 21 years of age, GSP would go on to become a major force in the UFC’s Welterweight division defeating the likes of Matt Hughes, B.J. Penn, Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, and Michael Bisping, just to name a few. But, what makes Rush stand out from the rest is the way he carried himself throughout his entire career. At first glance, GSP doesn’t seem like a prototypical Mixed Martial Artist....

One name that has somewhat been overlooked in the aftermath of all this is Nate Diaz. Diaz, who last competed for the BMF title at UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden, indicated afterward that he was done for good. However, there’s no telling what could happen and a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz is something that everyone would like to see at some point in time. Georges St-Pierre’s coach Firas Zahabi spoke on his YouTube Channel (H/T BloodyElbow....

The Hoyas have taken a beating from pundits, particularly NCAA tournament prediction analysts, since they released their nonconference schedule in its entirety in mid-September. Georgetown had already dropped out of the Nike-sponsored PK80 Invitational in Oregon. Gone were formidable foes in Maryland, Wisconsin and Duke, powerhouses they faced in successive games two years ago.

While appearing on MSNBC’s Politics Nation, Ossoff said, “With respect to President Trump, I mean, is he bringing stimulus for families? Is he bringing relief for small businesses? Or is he just going to come down here and spread COVID-19?” According to the Georgia Department of Health, there are currently over 420,000 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus as well as at least 8,778 deaths. Case counts and deaths in Georgia and across the U....

Throughout election week, Lawrence Sloan was responsible for processing absentee ballots with a team at the State Farm Arena in Fulton County. There were observers from both parties, members of the media and security cameras around him during the ballot-counting process. Footage from November 4 showed Sloan slamming papers on the table, clearly frustrated, and then crumbling a piece of paper during his 18-hour shift that day. A few days later, the clip was shared on social media and quickly spread, accusing him of illegally destroying a ballot....

The point of the petition is to “pardon Todd Gurley for any possible wrongdoings and ordering the NCAA and UGA to cancel and investigations.” There’s no telling who created it but there are over 5,000 signatures so far, many unsurprisingly from Georgia, which is significantly more than many of the other petitions on the site.

A new SurveyUSA and 11Alive poll shows Ossoff ahead by two percentage points, with 50 percent compared with Perdue’s 48 percent, and Warnock leading by seven percentage points, with 52 percent compared to Loeffler’s 45 percent....

The Senate is currently carrying out a trial for Trump after the House of Representatives impeached the then president last month for helping to incite the riot targeting Congress. The former president had repeatedly pushed the baseless conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden won the election through widespread voter fraud and urged his supporters to come to Washington, D.C., for “wild” demonstrations on January 6, the day Congress formally certified Biden’s win....

Pique, who one could have bet would have picked Lionel Messi for the top honour on any given day, has decided to buck the trend and has opted for Messi’s biggest rival – Cristiano Ronaldo – to claim the prestigious award. Speaking on Qatari television show One (h/t Goal), Pique said: “Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Champions League and the League. So he is a favourite. Lionel Messi is still considered the best player in history, though, and then there are other options....

Pique is the only senior defender at the club after the departure of club hero Carles Puyol.

Berlin - The German Football League (DFL) has revealed the match fixtures for the 50th Bundesliga season. Th 2012-13 season starts, as always, with the Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund taking on Werder Bremen at the Signal Iduna Park August 27. “The fixture between Dortmund and Bremen is very rich in tradition.

The former Liverpool captain, who is now manager of Rangers, was speaking ahead of the release of Make Us Dream, the biopic of his life which will be shown in cinemas this week, and said he wanted to be as open and honest in the film as possible. His slip against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side at Anfield led to Demba Ba opening the scoring for the Blues, in what is known as a pivotal moment in the Premier League title race from the 2013/14 season....

Last year, Boras pontificated on baseball and praised his clients, positioned in front of a giant Christmas tree in Las Vegas. This year, he ditched the holiday theme in favor of a Boras Co. background, but the content was consistent. One of his clients, Stephen Strasburg, signed on the first full day of these meetings, but two others — Anthony Rendon and Gerrit Cole — destined to land deals north of $200 million are still on the board....

Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) is a prolific knockout artist who is coming off a highlight reel finish of former champion Leo Santa Cruz last October. The 26-year-old Davis will headline his second pay per view but will do so by making his debut at 140 pounds against an undefeated opponent who will have a significant height advantage. Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs) won the WBA title back in 2019 when he defeated Batry Akhmedov and last defended the title on the undercard of Davis-Santa Cruz with a sixth-round knockout of Ryan Karl....
