Doris Burke Says Drake Liked Her Style At A Raptors" Game


Doris Burke with the handles while wearing heels! 🔥👠

Toronto, ON - The Toronto Raptors made a good run at the NBA Finals and apparently, Drake took a go at ESPN"s Doris Burke during their last home game at Air Canada Centre against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The veteran analyst and sideline reporter recalled how Drizzy set his "Views" on her aura and even hit her with a heart sign sometime during May 27th"s contest.

"Can I tell you something about the last time I was there?" Burke, 50, recalled to Rembert Browne of New York Magazine. "I just could not believe this happened. Drake turned aroundmy seat at Game 6 was right behind himmakes a heart shape [with his hands] and points at me. I"m looking around behind me to see who"s there, turn back to him and then he points and he does it again. I texted my daughter and said, "You need to know Drake just did this to me.""

The Raptors would go on to get waxed by as score of 113-87, making it two L"s for Team Toronto that day, seeing that Burke didn"t reciprocate the lovey-dovey sentiment on her end.

His team was minutes away from being eliminated and he just needed one dance. What was difficult to comprehend about that, Doris?

Vanderbilt pitcher Donny Everett drowns while fishing


Donny Everett (Vanderbilt Commit) - Baseball Highlights

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Vanderbilt freshman pitcher Donny Everett drowned while fishing in Tennessee a day before the Commodores were to open the NCAA Tournament on Friday. He was 19.

The Coffee County Sheriff"s Department said in a statement Friday that Everett was with two teammates and two other people when he tried to swim across Normandy Lake near a bridge. The lake is about 60 miles southeast of Nashville.

Everett was halfway across when he asked for help, but friends told Deputy Charles Taylor that they thought Everett was joking because he was smiling. One person went into the water and pulled Everett several feet before letting go, still thinking Everett was joking and struggling to stay afloat himself. When he looked back, Everett had gone under and did not re-surface.

Divers with the county rescue squad found Everett just before 7 p.m. Thursday in 25 feet of water some 15 feet from shore. His body was taken to Nashville for autopsy by the state medical examiner.

Vanderbilt was the College World Series runner-up last year and won the 2014 national title. The school was scheduled to open the NCAA Tournament on Friday night by hosting Xavier. The Commodores were deciding whether to play the game.

""As you can imagine, the team, the athletic department and the university are trying to come to terms with this tragedy,"" Vanderbilt athletic director David Williams said in a statement on Friday. ""His parents and loved ones are on our minds and in our prayers as we share in their grief.""

Everett was a right-hander from Clarksville, Tennessee, who had gone 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 12 innings this season. The 2015 Gatorade player of the year for Tennessee enrolled at Vanderbilt after being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 29th round last year. Baseball America had ranked Everett 21st among prospects for the 2015 draft.

Muhammad Ali hospitalized, could pose serious issues


Muhammad Ali - Amazing Speed
Muhammad Ali is hospitalized in the Phoenix area with what two people familiar with his condition say may be more serious problems than his previous hospital stays.

The 74-year-old boxing great is fighting respiratory issues that are complicated by the Parkinson"s that he was diagnosed with in the 1980s, the people told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The two spoke separately in describing Ali"s condition that they say is concerning to family members. They declined to be identified because they were not speaking on behalf of the family.

A spokesman for Ali said in a statement earlier Thursday that the former heavyweight champion is being treated at an unidentified hospital for a respiratory issue. Spokesman Bob Gunnell said Ali was in fair condition, and a brief hospital stay was expected.

Ali"s longtime Parkinson"s doctor declined comment when reached by the AP Thursday night.

"I can"t really say much more than what"s in the papers," said Dr. Abraham Lieberman of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.

Ali has been hospitalized several times in recent years, most recently in early 2015 when he was treated for a severe urinary tract infection initially diagnosed as pneumonia.

Ali has looked increasingly frail in public appearances, including April 9 when he wore sunglasses and was hunched over at the annual Celebrity Fight Night dinner in Phoenix, which raises funds for treatment of Parkinson"s.

His last formal public appearance before that was in October when he appeared at the Sports Illustrated Tribute to Muhammad Ali at The Muhammad Ali Center in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, along with former opponents George Foreman and Larry Holmes.

Ali has suffered from Parkinson"s for three decades, most famously trembling badly while lighting the Olympic torch in 1996 in Atlanta. Despite the disease he kept up a busy appearance schedule until recently, though he has not spoken in public for years.

Doctors say the Parkinson"s likely was caused by the thousands of punches Ali took during a career in which he traveled the world for big fights.

An iconic figure who at one point was perhaps the most recognized person in the world, Ali has lived quietly in the Phoenix area with his fourth wife, Lonnie, whom he married in 1986.

News of his hospitalization brought well wishes from boxers and others on Twitter, including Sugar Ray Leonard, who modeled his career after Ali"s.

"Prayers & blessings to my idol, my friend, & without question, the Greatest of All Time MuhammadAli ! #GOAT," Leonard wrote.

Paul Ryan says he"ll vote for Trump


A united GOP front? Paul Ryan says he will vote for Trump

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., ended a monthlong holdout of formally backing his partys presumptive presidential nominee: Donald Trump.

On Thursday, he penned a guest column for his hometown newspaper in which he trumpeted the controversial real-estate mogul as someone who could support the speakers conservative agenda.

Its a question of how to move ahead on the ideas that I and my House colleagues have invested so much in through the years. Its not just a choice of two people, but of two visions for America, Ryan wrote, citing the bold policy agenda that he will begin rolling out next week and contrasting that with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump can help us make it a reality.

Ryan, who four weeks ago declared he was not there yet and questioned whether Trump was even conservative, became the last senior Republican congressional leader to back the controversial businessmans candidacy. While the speaker did not use the word endorse, his column left no doubt where he stood after speaking at great length with Trump since he initially declared his hesitation with the candidacy.

Through these conversations, I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve peoples lives. Thats why Ill be voting for him this fall, Ryan wrote.

Initially, the speaker, who likes to call himself a policy guy and a movement conservative, did not agree with Trumps positions on key policy planks of mainstream Republicans of the past 40 years, including a free trade agenda and the effort to rein in federal spending on entitlements. Those issues were the hallmark of Ryans early congressional career and Trump stands squarely against them.

Additionally, Trumps proposals to ban all Muslim travel into the United States and his campaigns tenor in terms of comments regarding minorities, women and the disabled gave Ryan pause.

Those concerns appear to remain, and Ryan vowed to speak out against the presidential candidate if he crosses lines again.

Its no secret that he and I have our differences. I wont pretend otherwise. And when I feel the need to, Ill continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement, he wrote.
