Lake Mead’s water levels are dropping due to the ongoing megadrought in the western United States. The U.S.’s largest man-made reservoir has made national headlines recently not just due to its receding waters, but because of the gruesome finds being uncovered as the water recedes. Since May, five human bodies have been discovered in the lake. One set of human remains were discovered in a barrel—police believe the remains belong to the victim of a mob-related shooting....

This is not the norm for either team, both being historic franchises with big wallets and high-paid stars. Each team is losing on historic levels now, however, as pointed out by Elias Sports.

Following in the footsteps of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O’Neal is no easy task but in his first season in L.A., the move immediately paid dividends as the Lakers lifted the Larry O’Brien trophy in the bubble.

NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) James, whose 37th birthday is approaching at the end of the month, recently became the oldest player to record a 30-point triple-double after dropping 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds on the Orlando Magic last Sunday.

Yeah, good luck with that. The Lakers have been abysmal, ranking just 30th in defensive efficiency and 15th on offense. Lin hasn’t really been the problem on either side of the ball – he’s having a bad year on defense but in situations like these for guards you have to take into account who has been behind him in Jordan Hill and Boozer. Lin simply isn’t getting enough help rotationally and it shows....

Armstrong answered a point-blank question in the documentary about whether doping, which he says began in 1992 or ‘93, led to his testicular cancer. Armstrong was diagnosed in October 1996 at the age of 25; he won his first of seven Tour de Frances in 1999, making his triumph over the disease a major focal point in his success story. “I don’t know the answer to that,” Armstrong said. “And I don’t want to say no because I don’t think that’s right, either....

Some Democrats have started floating Clinton as a potential 2024 presidential contender, arguing that they feel President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris aren’t the party’s strongest candidates.
