Brennaman has been worked for FOX Sports as an announcer since 1994. He is currently in his 14th season as a commentator and announcer for the Reds. Brennaman’s father, Marty Brennaman, had been the broadcast voice of the Reds from 1974 to 2019. Thom Brennaman was in the midst of calling a double header between the Reds and the Kansas City Royals when he allegedly uttered the slur. “One of the [expletive] capitals of the world,” Brennaman said before going on to introduce the pre-game show....

The flash storage company has earlier received funding from SanDisk via SanDisk Ventures. While company sources have not given any statement, sources have told TechCrunch that the company behind the WhipTail $31 mn round “has one of the largest market capitalizations in the Silicon Valley”. This is going to be an important deal for Cisco as well as SanDisk. SanDisk has already put in $75 million in a new fund for innovation in the storage space....

Manchester City’s hopes of retaining their Premier League title were in tatters as a shock 3-1 defeat at Southampton left manager Roberto Mancini to virtually concede the championship. Mancini’s side needed a victory at St Mary’s to keep the pressure on leaders Manchester United, but instead they slumped to their third league defeat of the season. Jason Puncheon and Steven Davis put Saints 2-0 ahead by the 22nd minute and, although Edin Dzeko got one back before the break, a Gareth Barry own goal early in the second half sealed City’s fate....

RELATED: Civilization 6: How To Get & Use The Giant Death Robot This Civ 6 Wonder tier list attempts to consider both power level and how situational each Wonder is. This means that an S-tier Wonder is something that is extremely powerful, and perhaps game-changing, in almost every situation, and an F-tier Wonder is one that is almost always useless. Updated on December 31st, 2021 by Hodey Johns: With years passing and the game only becoming more popular, readers are starting to look up lists like this once again....

Genshin Impact, the open-world action-RPG with a gacha-based summoning system by Chinese developer miHoYo, has been very popular thanks to its gameplay, art direction, and accessibility on mobile as well as PC and PlayStation consoles. While fans are still waiting on Genshin Impact’s allegedly delayed Switch port, those who have tried it out should already be familiar with the German-inspired Mondstadt, the first nation available to explore.

The claim this time is that Justice Thomas improperly voted on a January 19, 2022, case. That suit was brought by former president Donald Trump to block the disclosure of his communications with top staff and lawyers at the time of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. According to critics, Justice Thomas should have recused himself from the case because his wife, Virginia Thomas, had sent text messages urging Trump appointees to challenge the election results....

Sidelined for years, with a market share tumbling from marginal to microscopic, classical music is enjoying a widespread renaissance. The Savoy is just the latest sign. In Britain, sales of classical CDs were up 8 percent last year, against a global downturn of more than 7 percent for all musical genres. Best-selling albums like Hayley Westenra’s “Pure,” and “Bryn” by opera heavyweight Bryn Terfel, made it onto the pop top-10 lists....

During halftime of Clemson’s game against Kent. State, the Tigers band decided to have some fun with last year’s game vs. the Buckeyes. As you might remember, No. 2 Clemson won 31-0 over No. 3 Ohio State in a fairly surprising beatdown. That savage beating was then brought back Saturday. If these two teams meet again this season, expect the Buckeyes to use this as bulletin board material.

Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m, and it will be televised on ABC. Of course, that could depend on the path of Hurricane Ian. NC State (4-0) is looking to beat the Tigers for the second consecutive season. Quarterback Devin Leary continues to lead the offense, but a top-10 scoring defense also has emerged under coach Dave Doeren. The Wolfpack were considered a preseason College Football Playoff sleeper. This is the chance to prove that....

Sure, wine-and-gold clad fans swarmed the nearest local TV camera outside Quicken Loans Arena after the Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Atlanta Hawks with a 118-88 win on Tuesday. Fans mugged for selfies and exchanged high fives, but the full-go celebration inside didn’t spill outside. The somewhat-tame reaction on the corner of Huron Road and East Sixth Street defied that perception. MORE: NBA Finals predictions: Warriors or Cavs? | LeBron nears mission accomplished...

On Tuesday, Cleveland State’s Trey Lewis announced that he will transfer to Louisville. MORE: Louisville’s Rozier, Harrell turning pro | Four freshmen power Duke to title Lewis, who will be eligible immediately as a fifth-year graduate student, confirmed the news on Twitter before his announcement in the Cleveland area. “I’ll be playing for a legendary coach in Rick Pitino and in front of the greatest fans in the nation,” Lewis said, according to Cleveland....

Voinovich is one of the breakaway Republicans giving the White House fits as President Bush bargains for more time to let his “surge” policy work. But unlike some of his colleagues, the 70-year-old Voinovich is not getting pressure from administration heavies to toe the party line. National-security adviser Stephen Hadley knows where Voinovich stands and has pretty much given up on trying to corral him. A former governor of Ohio and mayor of Cleveland, a Democratic city, Voinovich may be a relative newcomer to the U....

Since 1970, the study says, El Ninos—warming of the equatorial Pacific, which ultimately triggers worldwide weather extremes—have been forming further and further to the west. With the weather pattern forming in warmer waters, the resultant El Ninos have become stronger over time in some cases. Before 1978, 12 of the 14 El Ninos formed during the study’s time period formed up in the east. After 1978, all but 11 were western phenomena....

He did it in the first 32 seconds of the game. MORE: Dempsey shatters Ghana with toe, heart | Altidore strains hammy | USA-Ghana images It is the fastest goal scored in the 2014 World Cup, the fifth fastest goal in World Cup history and just the 12th ever goal scored in under a minute at the World Cup.

And if he’s asked again about how he dealt with his nationally televised fielding miscues a couple days ago, well, he can let those questions go by, just like those batted balls did. Why spoil the fair weather, right? (UPDATE: Frazier spoke after New York’s 4-3 loss. He also stared down a reporter who asked him whether he was extra-motivated Tuesday.) TWO MINUTES WITH . . . Frazier tells SN about bat speed, shoes and more...

Because the election was about more than just the economy, stupid. It was about a generalized sense of insecurity–the fraying of basic institutions like the schools, the evaporation of family and community, the relentless unraveling of moral and ethical standards. Bill Clinton won because he conveyed the impression-far better than George Bush did that he understood those fears. He rode his bus, haunted the bowling alleys, talked about social issues-like welfare and crime-straight up, in terms of personal responsibility....

The Clippers’ starting lineup didn’t come together in a day, but it’s that group that coach Doc Rivers invests most of his time in. They compose the only lineup in the NBA to play 1,000 minutes together this season. The chemistry and compatibility of the lineup gives the Clippers an edge and explains their 53-26 record. But it also is a testament to the team’s bench and how little Rivers, the second-year coach and team president, can rely on them....

The sale of the team rids the NBA and the Clippers of Sterling — a man who has been called the worst owner in the history of professional sports — and changes the landscape of professional sports ownership. The $2 billion price tag increases the value of every North American sports franchise. More importantly, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Lavanas’ ruling sends a clear message — one’s actions can lead to one losing his or her right to own a sports franchise....

A surge at the Houston festival on Friday night resulted in the deaths of at least eight people, with hundreds more injured. The tragedy has seen questions raised over whether the rapper, 30, had the power to prevent injuries by pausing the show more. The situation has seen many clips resurfacing of other artists pausing shows mid-concert to see that attendees receive medical attention after passing out. In 2017, Adele stopped a concert in Australia after a fan in the front row had a cardiac arrest....

Brisbane captain James Hopes won the toss and opted to bowl first, on a surface that was expected to offer plenty of runs, hoping to make use of the moisture on the pitch. Jacques Rudolph was dismissed in the second over of the match, caught at cover point of the bowling of Matthew Gale. Heino Kuhn, coming in at number 3, and Henry Davids were quiet for the first four overs, which yielded only 20 runs....
