It is also a day of sadness, as it marks the anniversary of the death of golf great Seve Ballesteros....

Faced with an evenly divided Senate, Biden is set to support a change to the filibuster that would allow the passage of key voting rights legislation and prevent Republicans from killing proposed elections bills. Though he isn’t expected to call for the outright abolition of the parliamentary mechanism, Biden will be taking a political risk as he endorses a “carve out” for voting rights measures. Biden’s remarks on Tuesday will directly address the filibuster and cite “repeated obstruction” by Republicans, an official who previewed the speech told The New York Times....

Busch beer, Harvick’s sponsor for the race, will award an Orlando man $1 million if Harvick takes the checkers in the 70-lap exhibition race. Steve Sinanan, 42, won a first-of-its-kind Busch Bucks loyalty contest in April and will cheer for Harvick along with his crew atop the No. 4 pit box. “I’ve been to a few races at Daytona before given it’s near home, but I can’t wait for the VIP experience this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway,” Sinanan said in a statement....

High on Life tasks the player with taking out bounties to dismantle the G3 Cartel and save Earth. There are seven bounties in total, and that means that there are seven different bosses to kill. While many of the bosses reside in the same environments and employ the same grunts, the bosses themselves are all very different. Each one features a whole new gameplay mechanic for players to deal with, and they all have pretty distinct personalities for players to interact with....

When Barry Rothfuss set out from his home in Peekskill, N.Y., for a little road trip last month, he didn’t pack light. In the back of his bright yellow, 10-wheel Ryder moving van, rented for the occasion, were sacks of dog food, piles of lumber, bottles of disinfectant-and 37 raccoons. Rothfuss, 32, is a licensed wildlife “rehabilitator” whose job includes preparing injured or abandoned animals to return to the wild....

So far, Shanks has made some big appearances in some of the arcs and, being as loved as he is, made a huge impact on the fans. From East Blue, all the way to Marineford before the timeskip and then the Wano Country arc following the two-year gap, he’s made some key moves that have affected the plot drastically, however, his strength still remains unknown to this date. Fans do know, however, that he’s mainly reliant on his Haki in combat, but how strong is Shanks’ Haki, really?...

He was introduced after the time skip as the son of Edward Newgate, better known as Whitebeard.

Compared to other Yonko, Blackbeard’s crew is still somewhat mysterious. Their names and appearance are known, but many of them have yet to fight in major battles and thus their powers and oftentimes their backgrounds remain obscure. What can be said is that the nine pirates Blackbeard commands are extremely formidable foes in their own right, and shouldn’t be taken lightly. After the time-skip, these nine crew members comprise Blackbeard’s Ten Titanic Captains, each heading their own ship in Blackbeard’s fleet....

RELATED: One Piece: Luffy’s Strongest Allies, Ranked With so many powerful characters from the new generation on the seas, it was only a matter of time before they clashed against one another.

The Onigashima Raid is taking a heavy toll on both sides right now. There is so much going on that a lot of the action switches back and forth.

Queen is also causing a commotion in the Live Floor....

Now, if a crash should happen, without any anticipation on your or my part, then an uncomfortable truth must be acknowledged by us both: crashes are pretty damn exciting. Particularly when no one gets hurt and they’re just good, rough-and-tumble, eye-filling fun. And that’s why my favorite part of the Winter Games thus far isn’t Fritz Strobl’s stunning victory in the downhill or Kelly Clark’s joyous gold medal in the halfpipe-it’s the nail-biting runs of the magnificently brave and stupendously terrible Asian lugers....

Who better to welcome them than Alex Ovechkin, holding a bottle of Coca Cola and grinning like a lunatic? Get ready to see a lot of that. It's not the first Ovechkin-centric Coke ad, either:
