Title run-in totally different with Chelsea, says Kante Lampard announced his retirement from the professional game last week after his contract at New York City FC expired in November and the former England international is now studying for his coaching qualifications at Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre. The 38-year-old began his career at West Ham United and had spells at Manchester City and New York City but the bulk of his playing days were spent in west London, where he won 11 major honours in 13 years and became the Blues’ all-time leading goal-scorer....

One current Superstar who was a part of NXT under Rhodes was Lana, who joined the brand back in 2013. She started her career in WWE as a manager and later wrestled as well. Lana revealed in a recent YouTube video that she actually pitched to be a ninja on WWE, but Dusty Rhodes did not want her to as he said that she can’t cover her face. She eventually used her “super mean Russian” character on WWE television when she debuted with Rusev....

The latest episode began when Spears’ psychiatrist and family members alerted the LAPD about their concerns for her mental health and gathered at the star’s home late Wednesday evening, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. By 11 p.m., her neighborhood was teeming with photographers and camera crews, prompting an extensive police presence to manage the crowd and finally escort her to the hospital at 1 a.m. The scope and purpose of the police effort—as well as its reported (cops dispute it) $25,000 price tag—have sparked a debate: How should public resources be managed when dealing with celebrities?...

But the 11-time Pro Bowl wide receiver says he’s never had a weapon like Kyler Murray. Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, faces huge expectations with the Cardinals, but Fitzgerald already loves what he sees. “The first thing that pops out to you is how intelligent he is,” Fitzgerald told reporters following OTAs Wednesday. “He knows the system better than we do. He can get us into any play at any time and then he has the ultimate weapon in the exit button....

There will be a better atmosphere in the Bernabeu for Zidane’s debut after the decision to sack Rafael Benitez, although club president Florentino Perez can expect criticism for his recent handling of the club, reports Xinhua.

The Title Challengers: Real Madrid and Barcelona beat their opponents Sevilla and Las Palmas (respectively) by identical scorelines of 4-1 with Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr. taking centre-stage for their teams.

As Los Blancos keep repeating, each game from now in is a final, and any slip-up can be fatal....

Redditor u/HYPER_ECH0, who claims to work as a lab technician at a coronavirus-testing facility, launched an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session on Friday and answered questions from fellow Reddit users all about the ins-and-outs of working in a testing lab. Those responses—along with u/HYPER_ECH0’s account—have since been deleted. Dozens of questions were asked, though, with many people wondering things like what the safety protocols are for handling tests, how difficult it is to retest samples and how often lab workers are getting tested themselves....

Simply put, Labor Day is a tribute to all the grueling work people put in day in and day out here in the U.S. So it’s only right to celebrate the holiday by doing the one thing every worker always needs but never quite gets enough of — relaxing. Since most businesses and government services are closed in observance of Labor Day, most people will be able to enjoy the holiday without having to go to work....

Savouring the victory after being down by two sets and 2-3 in the third, 41-year old Paes and Bopanna, playing together for only the third time in Davis Cup in seven years, felt that the win over Serbian combination Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac not only put India back in the match, but also cemented a partnership that could go all the way to the 2016 Rio Olympics. Paes, who described the victory as one of his better comebacks in Davis Cup, and Bopanna won a tough two-hour, 58-minute doubles tie 1-6, 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-3, 8-6, with Zimonjic suffering neck spasms when he and Bozoljac were leading 3-2 in the third leading to a three-minute medical break....

Anderson would go to great lengths to accomplish this by not writing the script and only providing notes for how each character was improvising in each scene, producing a stunning and convincing approach to the subject at hand. Paying homage to David Lynch’s iconic creation, Twin Peaks, the Palmers would be not only symbolic of the tragedy they experience but also an extended metaphor of a town not being as idyllic as it seems....

At Lake Oroville in northern California, the state’s second-largest reservoir, the water level is now well above the seasonal average. Oroville was at 707.01 feet above sea level at the start of the year, according to the Lakes Online database. In just over three weeks, the water level has risen by more than 90 feet.

In excess of 3 million people every year visit the reservoir and the surrounding Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, according to online guide Arizona Leisure....

He joined the Los Angeles Lakers as an afterthought, but has since made a small imprint on their season. Henry has done well with what little opportunity he has gotten. He showed us a glimpse of his athletic ability in the Lakers' surprise win over Clippers when he pulled out a one-handed dunk. And the best play of his short stay with the Lakers came Tuesday night when Henry used every bit of his athletic ability for a dunk over the New Orleans Pelicans' Jeff Withey, a teammate during his one season at Kansas....

Line: Cleveland -15.5 Total: 207 These two superstars have had a contentious relationship over the years, although it has mellowed now with Bryant playing in his final season. The 37-year-old Bryant is still extremely competitive and has had a point surge the last five games (26.4 PPG). He shot pretty well from the field in the first three (44.4 percent) before struggling badly in the last two (28.3 percent)....

Los Angeles is reportedly interested in the 33-year-old center after DeMarcus Cousins tore his ACL during a workout last week. League executives told USA Today’s HoopsHype that inking Howard to a minimum deal is a low risk, high reward scenario. “I think it’s worth the risk for them,” one anonymous executive said. “If it doesn’t work out, they can cut bait.” Howard was sent from the Wizards to the Grizzlies in early July....
