The ticketing website noted that “overwhelming and unprecedented” demand caused the website to crash. The incident led to furious fans, consumer groups, and political figures questioning the ways of the ticketing website, with some pointing out that it is a monopoly. “An unchecked monopoly”: Michael Rapino’s Ticketmaster under fire after the website crashes In 2010, a merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster gave rise to Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.

For the less obvious reason, the Sugar Bowl is one of the College Football Playoff’s national semifinal sites on Jan. 1, 2021, along with the location-shifted Rose Bowl. The usual SEC affiliation of the Sugar Bowl could’ve worked out with Alabama, but this game will instead feature No. 2 Clemson (10-1) against No. 3 Ohio State (6-0). Then, of course, there’s the matter of 3,000 people spread out across the Mercedes-Benz Superdome....

Week 11’s Chiefs vs. Chargers game, scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN from Estadio Azteca, is the fifth and final game of the NFL’s international series this season after four games in London.

The Packers’ offense exploded against the Vikings and the Lions over the first week and led Green Bay to a 2-0 start. The Saints looked sharp in Week 1 against the Buccaneers, but their offense struggled against the Raiders last week and dropped them to 1-1. MORE: Watch tonight’s NFL game live with fuboTV This typically would be among the greatest challenges road teams in the NFL must face, but because no fans are allowed at the Superdome amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Packers won’t have to deal with what otherwise would have been a noisy Saints crowd....

Now Allegiant Stadium in Vegas will get its first look at the magic that is Mahomes as the Chiefs look to put a stranglehold on the AFC West with a win that would put them three games clear of the Raiders.

Even so, I can’t help thinking that many people–including well-meaning officials of the U.S. government–are overreacting to all of these stories, and the effect will be to continue changing our children’s lives for the worse. The media, of course, are leading the way. Let’s be honest: covering child kidnappings is inexpensive and gets boffo ratings; it’s this summer’s version of killer sharks. President Bush, taking a leaf from President Clinton (who mastered the art of responding like a fireman to any public concern), is holding a White House conference on missing and runaway children on Sept....

I’m happy to contribute to the team with a match-winning performance. The Super Kings have shown a lot of faith in me”...

One of the most prestigious will be the cover star of WWE 2K22, as this is a highly respectful decision often made based on one of the current or biggest faces of the brand. As such, it’s a bit surprising that The Undertaker has not appeared as the cover star of a 2K title. With the recent announcement of The Undertaker’s retirement from the WWE, there’s not a better time that with a re-vamped game to launch with him on the cover....

For those who were sad to see KUTWK go, you should not be. If anything, Hulu’s reality series shows the famous family in a way we have never seen them before from Kim’s SNL performance, Khloe’s struggle with anxiety, Kylie’s pregnancy, Kendall’s business ventures, and Kourtney’s blossoming romance with Travis Barker (plus all of the side drama with her ex, Scott Disick). Fans will also be over the moon to see Travis and Kourtney’s relationship blossom beautifully on screen and nothing is off-limits, including Travis’s adorable proposal and their plans to have a baby together....

Ahead of the match, there were concerns over how Delhi would perform, considering that another COVID-19 positive case had emerged in the camp, adding to the earlier five. However, Delhi came up with a superb all-round bowling effort to clean up Punjab for 115 after winning the toss and fielding first. DC openers Prithvi Shaw (41 off 20) and David Warner (60* off 30) then went berserk and added 83 in 6....
