Known for his extreme endurance feats, Goggins has completed numerous ultramarathons, Ironman triathlons, and other grueling challenges. One of his most impressive accomplishments to date is breaking the world pull-up record. So, how did he do it? Let’s find out. David Goggins Pull-Up Record: How Did He Do It? Goggins began his attempt on September 27, 2013. A guest on the Today Show, Goggins had completed over 40,000 pull-ups in his preparation to break the world record....

Lee didn’t play a single minute in the Warriors’ first-round sweep of the New Orleans Pelicans; he played only nine total minutes through the first three games of this second-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies. So when Curry told Lee during the first round that the power forward’s time would come, the 32-year-old wasn’t buying it.

The Orioles, Blue Jays, Tigers, Reds, and Nationals offer nice stacking opportunities during the early evening slate, with the Orioles and Reds providing some real bargain options. During the late slate, the Rockies and Dodgers make for good stacks, and it’s likely many in FanDuel and DraftKings tournaments will be fading Colorado players since they’re in San Diego. Here’s your chance to zig while everyone else is zagging. MORE: Waiver wire | Prospect rankings | Fantasy football rankings...

That’s not to say there aren’t other good pitchers. Lance Lynn, Michael Fulmer, Kenta Maeda, Andrew Triggs, Jhoulys Chacin, and Mike Foltynewicz are all decent options with good matchups, but it’s likely they could be low-owned because of all the “higher-upside” options. It’s actually possible these types of pitchers will be better in cash games because of the boom-or-bust nature of some of these lower-tier strikeout guys. Of course, the top-priced guys like Dallas Keuchel, Strasburg, Salazar, and Darvish are still the best cash (and GPP) options, but if you’re having a tough time finding value hitters you like, you can go with a cheaper option who may or may not have the potential to rack up double-digit Ks....

Fortunately, all the fantasy aces are pitching in the evening slate of Tuesday’s odd, 12-game schedule featuring two afternoon games. That includes the epic matchup between Noah Syndergaard and Jose Fernandez. Unfortunately, two of the better daily fantasy baseball pitcher values — Juan Nicasio and Kenta Maeda — are being “wasted” during the afternoon slate, which isn’t even included on DraftKings. MORE FANTASY: Hitter picks | Optimal lineup | Waiver wire pickups | DFS Playbook PRO...

We know there will be good performances from other pitchers on this list, but aside from Jon Gray, Robert Gsellman, Luis Severino and maybe Eduardo Rodriguez, you’re not going to find many Ks (unless you want to trust Francisco Liriano, who lasted just a third of an inning in his first start). MORE DFS: Thursday optimal lineup | Lineup Builder Because there aren’t many good all-around options, even of the boom-or-bust variety, the best strategies are probably going with Bumgarner or Darvish or simply trying to get a win (Jordan Zimmermann, Brett Anderson, Rodriguez are your best bets)....

While both share a bond with Penn, the similarities end there. This November, the stakes are higher than ever. The climate, the economy, our health and our lives are on the line. While we can’t reverse the past four years of failed leadership under Trump, we can prevent the next four from resembling them. If that sounds like a noble goal, there is only one way forward: a vote for Biden....

Presented by the Comedy Central series The Daily Show’s Twitter account, the video alternates footage of two President Trump press conferences, which features two dissimilar statements by the president on the matter of the Kurdish people. “We do get along great with the Kurds. We’re trying to help them a lot,” the President says in a 2018 news clip from a press briefing. “The Kurds are very well protected. And by the way, they’re no angels”, Trump says in footage from 2019....

Worse, the clock is still ticking. NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported Wednesday that there was an offer that Prescott was interested in pursuing, but there wasn’t enough time to wrap it up. The Dallas Morning News reported (subscription required) that the length of the contract remains a sticking point: The Cowboys want to sign Prescott to a five-year deal but Prescott, 26, wants a four-year deal. And still no middle ground could be reached even though this has been a core issue for a long time....

Amidst growing uncertainty influenced by the absence of an injured AB de Villiers as well as the controversial quota system, the Proteas will want to put behind all these issues off the field and continue to enthrall their supporters on it. Stand-in skipper Faf du Plessis has turned towards his senior pacer to set the tone ahead of a massive season which extends to a grueling Test series in Australia too....

South Africa’s veteran pacer Dale Steyn’s cricketing career has been in a bit of struggle over the past couple of years. His career highlights have involved injuries more than achievements on the field in this phase. Despite being aware of the tiny factoid, Steyn is positive that he can clock the magical number of 100 Tests, and also gun down 500 wickets with the red ball before he thinks of bidding adieu to the game....

On Thursday, Cook Children’s Medical Centers in Fort Worth, Texas stated that there’s a high number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which affects infants, small children and those with compromised immune systems. “Capacity is tight but we are not sending patients to other hospitals at this time,” a Cook Children’s spokesperson told KDFW. “If the situation arises where we cannot accommodate a patient at our hospital, we will find a bed for them at an appropriate facility....

Since then, it has been a shocking downhill ride for the Mavs. Lockouts, Dirk Nowtizki’s knee injuries, Kidd’s transfer to New York Knicks, Terry’s move to the Boston Celtics were all contributing factors to their decline. They hit rock bottom last season when they finished outside the top 8 for the first time since the 1999-00 season even after finishing with a .500 season (41-41) . The Western Conference has probably never been this stacked in the recent past....
