The Australian comedian has been embroiled in the Chappelle Netflix controversy and singled out by the stand-up in his response to backlash over his recent special, The Closer. In a new stand-up set, Chappelle said that he will not be “summoned” following criticism for transphobic jokes in Netflix special. The five-minute video, posted to Instagram, shows the 48-year-old comedian speaking to the transgender community directly, saying that he’s open to a conversation—but under certain conditions....

Guests Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing joined host Sean Hannity in maligning the anonymous intelligence official who filed a complaint over the call for fear that Trump was abusing the power of his office. Both diGenova and Toensing vehemently attacked the official, who has now agreed to testify to congressional leaders about his concerns. The whistleblower’s complaint was released Thursday, and details efforts by White House officials to hide evidence of the phone call with Zelensky....

This is our way to wish Shane Watson a very Happy Birthday. #1 176 against England at the Oval Australia had already lost the Ashes as they came into the fifth and final Test Match at the Oval....

That makes for an angry Harbaugh. "Not the decision that I envisioned being the 49er way," Harbaugh said. "Really nothing more to be said about it. The focus will be on what's going on here." Harbaugh said he appreciates players who show up for the voluntary workouts in the offseason but expects everybody in attendance for the mandatory meetings. He said he's disappointed that Davis and Boone are not present....

Johor Darul Ta’zim finally let the cat out of the bag and have announced the latest addition to their squad once the second transfer window opens in the middle of May. Joining them in less than two months time is none other than Harry Novillo. A former product of the youth system at Lyon, whose academy has produced many big names in current world football like Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette, Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema, AS Roma’s Maxime Gonalons, Bayern Munich’s Corentin Tolisso and Barcelona’s Samuel Umititi among others....

For the upcoming Halo Infinite, 343 Industries has no plans for a sequel. In fact, the game is slated to be the last Halo game for the foreseeable future. That said, multiplayer will be a critical component in keeping the brand alive and well following the game’s release. While 343 appears to be taking steps in the right direction by making Halo Infinite’s multiplayer free-to-play, the developer should draw from its own experience of supporting the antiquated Halo 3 when considering how to keep fans invested in Halo Infinite....

Chris Lee, Studio Head of FPS at 343 Industries, said Halo Infinite’s developers are taking their time to get the game right, making changes to how they develop this title in comparison to how they have developed other Halo games in the past. Lee said 343 Industries really wants to get player feedback during development, and that includes letting players go hands-on with parts of the unfinished game: The Master Chief Collection Insider Program is currently underway between 343 and fans, and it’s a program that lets players sign up to be considered to play what 343 calls “flights,” which are representative slices of the game that let 343 test a number of things from matchmaking to design....

Taking to Halo Waypoint, Microsoft further detailed the new character (which is available for $5.99 USD for those without the season pass) and played up the fire-focused elements of the leader. The new Legendary Unit accompanying the head honcho is none other than a Cyclops Mech that dual-wields flamethrowers to maximize damage on enemy structures. There are a handful of other goodies that are following Kinsano’s arrival to Halo Wars 2, ranging from a Flame Warthog to the explosive Hell Charge ability, and the following trailer does a good job at showcasing all of that:...

As previously reported, a prop gun that was mistakenly loaded with real ammunition was fired by Baldwin on the set of Rust, resulting in the director being shot in the shoulder and Hutchins being shot in the torso. Hutchins would later die from her injuries. Baldwin avoided any thorough discussion of the incident for months, only expressing his grief over the death of Hutchins, and would not discuss details....

Salah tops the Premier League’s scoring charts this season with 29 goals, putting him just three short of setting a record of most goals scored in a single 38-game season. The Egypt international has been just as impressive in the Champions League, his opener in Wednesday’s 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory over Manchester City taking his tally in the European competition to eight. Like many, Hamann has been impressed with the 25-year-old’s breath-taking campaign, but admits he was not expecting him to make such an impact....

The club said in a statement that Labbadia’s assistants, Eddy Sozer and Bernhard Trares, were fired as well, and confirmed that it will announce the name of the new coach this week, reports Efe. The Bundesliga 0-1 loss against Bayern Munich prompted Hamburg’s management and its director, Dietmar Beiersdorfer, to dismiss Labbadia with immediate effect. Beiersdorfer highlighted that this decision was necessary after a disappointing start of the season....

After running wide and locking up at Turn Eight, the defending four-time champion lost use of his gearbox and was told by the team to stop to avoid further damage following a hydraulics failure in the first part of Saturday’s hour-long session. He is likely to start Sunday’s race in 14th place or worse, if the team have to replace his gearbox or other parts. The setback is a blow to his hopes of mounting a fight-back against home hero Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari in the drivers’ world championship....

HammerHelm has come a long way since Hanna started developing the game. Although he now works with a publisher, Soedesco, as well as many artists who have contributed to HammerHelm, the game started out as something Hanna developed all on his own while working full-time in the games industry. Naturally, that meant time to work on HammerHelm was in short supply. Nevertheless, when Game Rant spoke to Hanna, he made it clear that the difficulty of finding time to work on his unique RPG was a part of the process that he readily adapted to....

As part of a segment on his show “Why? with Hannibal Buress,” the comedian asked a young boy to pick his favorite basketball player. Buress not only convinced the kid to choose Dunleavy, but also was able to get him to say Dunleavy is better than Michael Jordan.

Harden had 41 points and six assists to become the first player since the Hall of Fame guard to record at least 35 points and five assists in seven consecutive games, and the Houston Rockets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 108-104 on Saturday night. “That’s what I play for,” Harden said when asked about being compared to the Big O. “That’s what you play the game of basketball for, to be mentioned in the name with the greats....

Pandya, who remained unbeaten on 22 off 20 balls, forged a fine 52-run stand with elder brother Krunal, who smashed 41 off 22 balls. The freak injury happened off the final delivery of the Mumbai Indians innings bowled by Dwayne bravo. Pandya wanted to go for a second run but twisted his ankle. He was writhing in pain and asked for assistance as he was barely able to stand on his feet....

Joe Buck has been off lately, having called golf’s U.S. Open, and he’ll come under the microscope at some point (not that anyone doesn’t already have a fully formed opinion on his work). Filling in for Buck on the marquee telecast is Kenny Albert, like Buck a second-generation announcer who plies his trade on multiple sports. He works alongside Buck’s usual partners, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci, for a Cubs-Cardinals game in St....

He threw down. MORE: Warriors, Cavs getting physical in first half | Metallica rocks Oracle Arena The strong-armed dunk meant outmuscling LeBron James, who got whistled for the foul, allowing Barnes to hit the go-ahead free-throw and complete the three-point play. The Warriors headed to halftime leading 51-50, and riding the massive wave of momentum and sound coursing through Oracle Arena after that dazzling display of dunk dominance. With such a rousing response to his first foray in ferocious dunks, Barnes didn’t waste much time adding to the highlight reel in the second half....

While the multiplayer beta dropped yesterday, Halo Infinite’s campaign won’t release until December 8. Battle passes aren’t a new concept for games. They’re a way for developers to add more content to a game, make some money in the progress, and keep players active for longer. They’ve become a standard model for many live-service games and a few that aren’t. Many include a free tier in addition to the paid tier, but for the most rewards, players will always need to pay for the pass in question....
