This is a great example of a player playing when he shouldn’t have, and it’s having big implications on his draft stock for the ‘15 fantasy season....
“I am recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm I subsequently joined for a period of time,” Barr told reporters in South Carolina. Earlier today, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York indicted Epstein on felony charges related to sex trafficking minors, including one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors.

Willamson, who made an unbeaten double century as his side posted their record Test score of 715-6 declared on day three, praised Bangladesh’s fight after they were dismissed for 429 to fall behind in the three-match series....

Wilmots said the game between the two group favourites would not be decisive. “There will still be six points available....
The two faced off three years ago with Hsieh holding a victory in a major over the Latvian. Ostapenko displayed a severe problem in finding consistency recently but caught some luck on the grass courts winning two matches at both Birmingham and Eastbourne.
