The Houston Texans have the first pick of the second round, and still on the board is Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr — bringing the possibility of the franchise drafting a Carr brother twice. His big brother David was the first pick in franchise history in 2002. Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois, one of the players on hand-but undrafted Thursday night, will be of interest. So will quarterbacks whose stock rose and fell throughout the final month before the draft — Pittsburgh’s Tom Savage and Virginia Tech’s Logan Thomas....

This year you did what seemed like a Kaufman-inspired bit when you accepted an MTV award dressed as a biker. You were totally unrecognizable. I noticed your costar Courtney Love was laughing her head off. Well, I was basically ogling her all night as this guy, and she had no idea who I was. I tried to pick her up backstage. She’d pull out a cigarette, and I’d light it for her, going, “There you go, babydoll....

Morgan-Lloyd was arrested after she was recognized while trying to obtain a firearms permit and was accused of entering the Capitol, calling it the “best day ever” on Facebook. She agreed to plead guilty and took responsibility for her actions, telling the judge she felt “ashamed” that actions intended to support former President Donald Trump turned violent. “If every person like me, who wasn’t violent, was removed from that crowd, the ones who were violent may have lost the nerve to do what they did,” Morgan-Lloyd wrote to Judge Royce Lamberth....

Game Rant’s Riley Little reviews Captain America: Super Soldier on the Nintendo DS The official portable video game tie-in for Captain America: The First Avenger has finally hit store shelves in in the form of Captain America: Super Soldier for the Nintendo DS. Griptonite Games was the studio tasked with creating the DS version of the game, and the result is less than an ideal title. Captain America: Super Soldier does very few things right, and the few things that are even a little fun get pretty old rather quickly....

After a busy day of filming in London, the director spoke with Inverse, discussing her previous projects like Candyman, the responsibilities that come with taking on a big Marvel blockbuster, and the connection between the hero and the anti-hero and how they can be unwilling martyrs. In doing so, DaCosta believes that Captain America’s ultimate decision to save Vision rather than destroy him in Avengers: Infinity War could be seen in some way as a villainy move, making Evans’ Captain America more of an anti-hero....

South African captain Jean de Villiers insists the Springboks are on the right track despite a narrow loss to a resurgent Australia in their Rugby Championship Test. The Springboks led 13-3 at one stage in the first half on Saturday but the Wallabies came from behind to win 26-19 and notch a much-needed win after last month’s embarrassing 22-0 loss to New Zealand. It was Australia’s fifth win in a row over South Africa, themselves keen to make a statement after a disappointing 16-16 draw with Argentina in their previous outing in the four-nation tournament....

It isn’t the means employed, but the end itself that matters. The same decision can be lauded as a brilliant piece of innovation and be condemned as a desperate clutching of straws. The first bit of captaincy I’d like to discuss was by that prince among paupers, Michael Clarke. Actually, this took place before the retirements of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey so he did have a couple of kings with him as well....

Dramatic photos taken from the scene show a white Ford Escape almost completely inside the popular coffee shop, surrounded by shattered glass and window frames. Fire and rescue crews responded to the address around 3:15 p.m. on Coliseum Drive in Hampton. They discovered the car inside the store and worked to secure the scene and ensure the safety of those in the area. Members of the technical rescue team were seen surveying the damage and prying open the hood of the car....

Tyvis Powell was in the mix interviewing his roommate Cardale Jones. Powell joked that the quarterback is ungrateful and gets a laugh from the crowd. Jones fire back with a glorious response. “I should’ve never walked out on your mom all them years ago,” Jones joked.

These can be divided into a “classic” group of symptoms that are highly (though not exclusively) indicative of cardiac arrhythmia and an “other” group of symptoms that are just as likely to be caused by an arrhythmia as something else. But many times, much to patients’ surprise, cardiac arrhythmias may not produce any symptoms at all. This is especially true for arrhythmias that produce intermittent “extra” heartbeats—namely, premature atrial complexes (PACs) and premature ventricular complexes (PVCs)....

The Montreal goaltender kept his team down by only a goal (and saved backchecking forward Nick Suzuki from harm) when he made a desperate stick save on Scott Laughton, who was alone in the crease and had a wide-open net after Price had slid out of the crease. As often happens after a huge save, the Canadiens went down and scored to tie the game shortly after. Shea Weber’s tally at 14:38 of the second made it 1-1....

Blackmon, the Rockies' second-round pick in 2008, has split his time between the major and minor leagues each of the past three seasons, with 82 appearances for the big club in Denver last season. In 258 plate appearances, he hit .309/.336/.467 with six home runs, and was a perfect 7-for-7 on stolen base attempts. One glaring weakness for Blackmon was plate discipline, as he struck out 49 times, with only seven walks....

The troops were first deployed after the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters on January 6. Almost 2,300 national guards will now remain deployed to the capital until at least May 23, around half of the 5,100 currently operating around the Capitol building. Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby refused to say whether the deployment could be extended further. Asked whether the deployment would become an “enduring mission” by one reporter, Kirby responded: “I don’t think anybody can answer that question right now....

On Monday, 44-year-old Donald Craighead of Oceanside, California was arrested for possession of prohibited weapons. During a nightly patrol, a special operation division officer found Craighead’s Dodge Dakota pickup truck parked outside of the DNC headquarters.
