With most of the top free agents off the board, Micic is the last guy left who could immediately be an impact player for a contending team. He continues to “attract significant interest” and would like to play in the NBA next season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. So… what’s the holdup?

The Quinnipiac University survey, conducted between September 10 and September 13, found that almost twice as many people back school mandates as oppose them. Some 63 percent said they supported the requirements for students, teachers and staff to wear face coverings, compared with 34 percent who opposed them. Among Republicans, 30 percent backed mask mandates and 68 percent opposed them. Almost all Democrats (94 percent) supported the measures while only 3 percent opposed them....

Arguably the weirdest Pokemon GO-style AR game yet is Follow JC GO!, which is a religious character collectible game that has The Vatican’s backing. Created by Fundación Ramón Pané ahead of World Youth Day 2019, a Catholic youth event, Follow JC GO! tasks players with collecting saints and Bible characters as opposed to different creatures. When players meet these religious figures, they will then have to answer a question including identifying who said a particular Biblical quote....

It’s become somewhat of a tradition this time of year to criticize the NBA for the manner by which it seeds the playoffs. The latest to say the system is flawed is Clippers coach Doc Rivers, who believes there is too much emphasis placed on wining a division and that records should mean more when it comes to seeding. Others have suggested the NBA should scrap conferences altogether and seed the teams 1 through 16 based purely on record....

The team announced Monday that it had signed Pacioretty to a $28 million, four-year contract extension that runs through the 2022-23 season. The 29-year-old Pacioretty was entering the final season of a six-year deal. “He can score goals, he’s a productive player, he brings speed, he brings some size and he fits our club,” Vegas general manager George McPhee said. “He fits the personality of this club. He’s a very good two-way player....

A big-budget studio movie is never an ideal directorial debut, but Marcel’s first feature will tackle themes that she’s been exploring throughout her whole career. In Saving Mr. Banks, Disney tries to persuade Travers to give up the film rights to her stories, just like Venom tries to persuade Eddie to let him eat people. In Fifty Shades of Grey, Ana gets trapped in an unhealthy relationship with Christian, just like Eddie is trapped in an unhealthy relationship with Venom....

Verdasco won the battle of the seeds Saturday, accounting for fifth seed Fabio Fognini 6-1 7-5 on the clay courts in Rio de Janeiro. The 34-year-old and eighth seed reached his 23rd ATP World Tour final and first since March last year after triumphing in just 75 minutes. Verdasco, who has not won a 500-level title since 2010, will go head-to-head with sixth seed Schwartzman in the final. Schwartzman was too good for Nicolas Jarry, prevailing 7-5 6-2 over the Chilean on the weekend....

David Miles was rushed to hospital after his three-foot-long tiger snake mistook his hand for food, sinking its fangs deep into his skin to release the life-threatening venom. Miles—who has handled hundreds of snakes over the past 25 years—said the snake lunged out from its enclosure at his home in Mount Gambier, in regional South Australia. Miles said the snake latched onto his thumb after thinking it was going to be fed, telling ABC News the bite made him “bleed like anything”....

Viacom issued no statement on why they wanted to get rid of the Boston-based Harmonix, merely stating that they plan to sell Harmonix to another company. Seeing as Harmonix has a heavily established name and good reputation, I’d imagine they might be picked up by other high-profile owners quite quickly. They already have a publishing deal with EA Games, so it would be logical if EA would then strike a chord in the ownership area as well....

After the fraud was exposed, Eric Conn was disbarred and sent to federal prison. About 1,700 of his victims have gone through hearings to prove their disabilities and about half of them lost their benefits as a result. Over 200 of those recipients received court orders to restore their benefits years later, but recently learned they may have to prove their disability in court again. Mary Saxton suffers from scoliosis and has had two brain surgeries and spinal surgery to fuse vertebrae in her neck....

This is the rough-and-tumble world of Washington budget wrangling. Congressional critics of the United Nations have long held U.S. dues hostage–particularly since Republicans won control of the House in 1994. Critics denounced the previous U.N. secretary-general, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and claimed that Washington was relinquishing sovereignty to foreigners. They also wanted the world body to be more efficiently run. (Which, in some measure, it is: the United Nations says it has reduced its budget by about 15 percent since 1994....

And above all if the players understand and get onboard the same ship then I am sure that the arrival at the port will be a good one.” Jorge Pautasso, Barcelona assistant coach: “Gerardo Martino has already departed for Argentina and is flying en route via Madrid....

Players take on the role of vampires during a bloodhunt on the streets of Prague, doing battle with other vampires in an effort to survive the night and carry out the Bloodhunt.

Like the last trailer for Vampyr, a brooding voice seems to be talking to the game’s main character Jonathan Reid. The voice this time is male and seems to be explaining to Dr. Reid what his new status as a vampire will entail while also urging him to embrace his new dark side. The voice describes the thirst for blood and how mortals are now prey and will always view him as the enemy....

The 2-1 success in Minsk puts Netherlands on the brink of qualifying for Euro 2020, ending the team’s recent exile from major tournament football. After missing out on Euro 2016 and last year’s World Cup, Netherlands finally appear to have got their act together under coach Ronald Koeman’s leadership. Van Dijk’s Liverpool team-mate Wijnaldum scored both goals for the Dutch, heading in a clinical opener before thundering in a long-range strike to give the visitors a 2-0 half-time cushion....
