Whether it’s rescued kitties and cats sitting by their side as they work, or cats so memorable they inspired tattoos, the Newsweek staff has an adorable fleet of felines. Granted, you will not a photo of a cat from me, because I’m extremely allergic, and my eyes are already watering looking at these pictures. The only cat I’ve ever really loved is the one from The Weakerthans song. Here are photos of the cats that the Newsweek staff love and adore, and what their humans had to say about them....

Pep Guardiola’s side made light work of the lacklustre Reds, who were playing for the first time since their first top-flight title in 30 years was confirmed last week. Kevin De Bruyne got them on their way from the penalty spot after Sterling had been hauled down by Joe Gomez, before the England international, Phil Foden and an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain own goal sealed the resounding victory. “They [Liverpool] have been brilliant all year,” Sterling told Sky Sports....

According to Sky, the striker will sign a contract with Serie A side Genoa after completion of a medical, sealing yet another comeback in a career blighted by medical issues. Inter 10/1 to win Serie A Rossi suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in April while on loan at Celta Vigo, leading to concerns his playing career could be over. But the 30-year-old has now recovered, and took to Twitter on Tuesday to declare: “Next stop…....

The revolution begins with skating, simulated realistically for the first time in the history of the series. Pursuing a higher sense of realism than players have experienced previously, the game of hockey has most certainly changed. But is the move toward replicating every aspect of the sport a wise one to make for a project that is, first and foremost, a video game, or will fans find themselves wishing the steps had been smaller?...

The Super Eagles have lost to the Albiceleste on all four occasions [1994, 2002, 2010 and 2014] they have met at the finals and ahead of their fifth meeting at the Saint Petersburg Stadium, Obaroakpo tasks the Gernot Rohr’s men to show mental toughness. “It will no doubt going to be a tough match because we are going to be facing a wounded Argentinian side who are eager to make a point despite their poor run at the ongoing World Cup,” Obaroakpo told Goal ....

While some struggle with their increased drug dosage, other guests are building news connections and finding love. Meanwhile, last week’s revelation that the Marconis are starting to see their dead son and brother is built on here as Masha makes a promise that sounds too good to be true. Episode 6 of the eight-part series, “Motherlode,” really ramps up the action and progresses the plot, so strap in as we look back on the latest episode of Nine Perfect Strangers airing now on Hulu....

The biggest and grandest competition in world football will take place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. Desailly, who himself was a World Cup winner with France in 1998, has tipped Les Bleus to retain their title. Didier Deschamps’ side won the 2018 edition in Russia but had to deal with an early Round-of-16 exit from the 2020 European Championship. However, Desailly has tipped France to win the World Cup for the third time in their history....

Yet, the sacking of a title-winning manager signified that the Marina Machans were simply not happy with what had been transpiring on the pitch. In fact, days before eventually getting the boot, Gregory had admitted in a press conference that he might have run his race. Consequently, his potential successor faced a monumental task of resurrecting a club that had not just fallen off a cliff rather spectacularly but had also contrived to paint a much gloomier portrait of the future than any of its competitors....

Combining death-defying stunts with surprisingly tender moments, there’s no denying No Time to Die was in many ways a respectful conclusion to Craig’s tenure. However, there were also many notable scenes that felt frivolous and nonsensical. WARNING: Major No Time to Die spoilers ahead 1. Lambs to the slaughter 007 has no qualms when it comes to killing men and women in the name of international security, but when it comes to mowing down a herd of sheep, he buckles under pressure and desperately swerves to avoid killing the animals....

The video, posted by an employee at Vancouver Airport who goes by @djsugue on TikTok, revealed a cargo section designated for animals in crates. In the compartment, the crates are tied down with straps to ensure they do not move during the flight. The video was in response to a comment left on a previous video asking, “can you show us where you put dog cages.” The video, posted on October 3, has more than 6....

While games like Gran Turismo 5, Forza Motorsport, and even Shift 2 Unleashed are pushing the envelope forward by bringing the greatest racetracks of Europe to living rooms around the world, NASCAR The Game is doing things a little bit differently. With NASCAR having a firm hold on the title of the only real American form of racing, no pastime is more overdue for a proper next-gen release. With more and more racing titles making it to market, it’s becoming more and more evident that the hardest thing to manufacture is passion and excitement....

Sotoudeh is her country’s Nelson Mandela: a courageous fighter for the rights of the underserved. She usually stays just within the law, but she is ready to go to prison, and in fact at this writing she is in prison—and has been several times. But she persists. She does not always wear a hijab, the head covering scarf that women in Iran must wear in public. What to some Western eyes, would seem to be a relatively innocuous act, it a very big deal in this repressive state, an act of defiance that is almost unheard of....

Suns guard Devin Booker handled Michael Porter Jr. in the first round and is set to take on Wizard’s rookie Rui Hachimura in the first game of round two. Hachimura’s first-round victory over Donovan Mitchell came down to the final shot in the most exciting game of the tournament so far. The second game of the night is Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell against Heat guard Derrick Jones Jr. Jones Jr....

First, the elephant standing at center court has that to be addressed is 2K’s problematic servers. Last year, server issues for 2K14 were well documented and put a blemish on that game’s launch. Sadly, little improvement seems to have been made for this year’s release. Since release day, 2K’s servers have ranged from completely down, to buggy, to laggy, to competent. This could be overlooked if not for the fact that elements of the solo play portions are tied to server performance… or lack thereof....

The series was simulated 25 times to ensure that randomness would only play a marginal role in the results. Of course, there’s no way to predict something like a series turning on a crotch shot from Draymond Green, but “2K17” does its best to inject the unexpected with the occasional injury having an impact. NBA FINALS PREDICTION: Who wins Cavs vs. Warriors III? “NBA 2K17” gives Golden State a 76 percent chance of winning the NBA Finals....

While your final Badge choices may vary based on the specific kind of player you wish to make, here are some broad suggestions to consider for Finishing, Playmaking, Shooting and Defense. Best Finishing Badges As you’ll see below, these five Badges really compliment a Finishing-focused MyPlayer in terms of taking it to the rim, making layups and avoiding contact from all areas fairly close to the bucket. Not everyone will be able to go full Hall of Fame for each one of these depending on your build, but nothing here should be below Silver if you can help it....

MORE: “NBA 2K20” player ratings revealed ahead of release date The official player ratings for launch were recently unveiled, and the Lakers’ duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis (average of 95.5) barely edged out the Clippers’ combo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George (average of 95). The star pairings for the Nets, Rockets and Warriors aren’t far behind, although Brooklyn (Kevin Durant) and Golden State (Klay Thompson) will be dealing with significant injuries next season....

The highlight feature of the trailer, though, is 2KBeach. It’s essentially a southern California-inspired coat of paint for the existing urban Neighborhood that acts as a container for all your MyCareer needs.

Once the extracurricular activities are over, it’s time to head to the in-game training facility where your MyPlayer continues his evolving storyline....

In NCIS: Hawai’i’s latest episode, which aired on Monday, January 24, viewers got a flashback to Jane Tennant’s (Vanessa Lachey) time as a CIA operative 15 years ago. The episode, titled “Spies, Part 2,” included the shock reveal that in the past her path had crossed with Gibbs—and he had been a major factor in her joining the NCIS. This is all a prelude to the upcoming NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i crossover, currently scheduled for March 28 on CBS....
