Gil Cedillo introduced a motion that would name a part of Elysian Park Avenue after Scully, who has been the Dodgers announcer since 1950 and moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles with the team in 1958. “He is known for his dulcet voice, lyrically descriptive style, and signature introduction to Dodger games: ‘It’s time for Dodger baseball! Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good (day/evening) to you, wherever you may be,’” Cedillo’s motion stated....

Dembele has agreed a move to Barca in an initial €105million switch after refusing to train for Dortmund, who then suspended the France international prior to his move.

After it was announced that the Portuguese would be inheriting the managerial reins at Old Trafford last summer, speculation immediately surfaced regarding the future of one particular player. Mourinho’s classy tribute to Ranieri Mata was offloaded by Mourinho during his time at Chelsea, with a big-money sale sanctioned in January 2014.

The South Americans were leading tournament hosts Qatar 2-0 in the opening game of the much-maligned World Cup, when their supporters started chanting “Queremos cerveza, queremos cerveza,” which is “we want beer, we want beer.” FIFA has a $76 million sponsorship deal with Budweiser, who has expressed its dissatisfaction at the beer ban, which was announced just two days before the kick-off of the tournament. The beer giants had already been asked to “tone down” its promotion of the sale of alcohol in Qatar, where it is largely restricted when the World Cup isn’t in town....

Leonardo Jardim’s men face an uphill task after Cenk Tosun’s second half penalty cancelled out Rony Lopes’s opener for the visitors at the Vodafone Park.

The Frenchman is due to reach the end of his current contract in the summer, after more than 20 years in the dugout. Which Arsenal star will be a manager?

There is no question in Kanu’s mind, though, that a club legend remains the ideal candidate to lead the club towards a bright future....

Set in the multiverse, the animated show has so far shown what would have happened had Agent Peggy Carter taken the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers, and how things would have been different if T’Challa had been taken as a child by Yondu instead of Peter Quill. And the third episode will now explore how things would have been different if Loki had presented himself as the king of Asgard to the various authorities on Earth, instead of invading the way he did in the first Avengers....

The 27-year-old midfielder has yet to start a match for the Blues this season, having to make do with two cameo appearances against Huddersfield and Arsenal respectively. Hazard still made an impact with an assist in both games, a continuation of the fine form he showed with Belgium at the World Cup this summer. His future, though, remains up in the air.

The Germany international endured an underwhelming first half of the season in which he scored just one goal in 13 Bundesliga outings. Legend of the Week: Sammy Kuffour Muller’s form failed to improve on Bayern’s return from the mid-season break as he put in an unimpressive performance in their hard-fought 2-1 win over Freiburg last week. Lewandowski sees no reason for concern, though, and has backed his team-mate to find back his scoring boots sooner rather than later....

"They know their situations far better than I do," Ross said this week from Richmond. Va., where he has lived since retiring from coaching after the 2006 season. He chuckled. "I pull for them -- especially since I know what it feels like." But no team or coach in NFL history knows what Ross and his 1992 San Diego Chargers felt like after that 0-4 start -- no other team has ever gone from there to make the playoffs....

In a tense exchange in court Thursday, Josiah Kenyon, 34, who was arrested in Reno, Nevada, asked Judge Carl Nichols to acknowledge that he has the right to defend himself if corrections officers try to assault him, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney.

Usually, partners cheat because they need something and they aren’t able to communicate with you about it. It might help to write your feelings down in a journal so you can express them without saying them out loud. The most important thing is to not beat yourself up. You’re probably already feeling a little sad or hurt, so there’s no reason to add to that. You don’t need to rely on your partner to increase your self-worth....

Taking publicly available state-by-state search data for pothole complaints and repair inquiries going back to 2024, QuoteWizard came up with a search index average that was rounded out....

If you’re creating a competition format, focus on writing a synopsis of the “arc” of the series that describes how the competition works and progresses over the course of the season. This may involve the elimination of contestants based on competition or choices by judges or other person, or it may involve points or votes awarded that lead to a single winner each episode or at season end. Although most companies do not take unsolicited pitches, it is still critical that you make efforts to find direct connections to development executives and producers at production companies....
