The Flash is Fun, but Feels Late to the Multiverse Party

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:46:57 GMT

After years in development, multiple reshoots, and dealing with a problematic star, The Flash achieves final form as the concluding chapter of a soon-to-be bygone era. Before James Gunn can take the Batmobile out for a spin, the DC Universe must first bid farewell to Zack Snyder’s vision for the Justice League and DC. This film is the Snyderverse’s swan song.A note to fans of the original Flashpoint comic book story: there might be some disappointment as the movie only picks up the essence of the paradigmatic story arc, not much of the actual story. Fans looking for Martha Wayne’s Joker or a continent-destroying battle between Aquaman and Wonder Woman, will soon discover that those plot points remain on paper only.Directed by Andy Muschietti (It: Chapter One and Two) and starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, the youngest and most grating member of the Justice League, The Flash pulls the band back together for one final hurrah, along with a few old-school favorites thanks to Bar...

What to know about Draymond Green reportedly opting out of Warriors contract

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:46:57 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — In the moments after the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated the Warriors from the playoffs last month, Draymond Green said he wanted to “ride out with the same guys I rode in with.”He reiterated on his podcast the following week that he wanted to return to the Warriors.“I’ll say it right here for you, this isn’t it,” he said. “We plan on doing this again. That’s the plan, obviously, this is a business and things has to take place.”News broke on Monday that Green plans to decline his $27.5 million player option and enter unrestricted free agency. That doesn’t mean Green is certain to leave the Bay Area, though.There are rumblings that the Warriors, under new general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., could shuffle their exorbitantly expensive roster to be more competitive after an early playoff departure and with stricter CBA rules afoot.“We really want Draymond back,” Dunleavy said at his introductory p...

Just when it appeared Quinn Mathews and Stanford had recaptured their elimination game magic, everything unraveled on Monday afternoon for the Cardinal in a 6-4 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers at the College World Series.Mathews, the senior left-hander who gained national attention last week by throwing 156 pitches in a complete-game masterpiece that sent the Cardinal to Omaha, Nebraska, shook off a shaky first few innings and had retired seven in a row when he took a 4-0 lead into the top of the fifth inningMathews never got out of the inning, as the Volunteers rallied to tie the score with four runs, and then went ahead for good with two more in the top of the seventh. Mathews, a likely early-round pick in next month’s MLB draft, threw 89 pitches, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk.“Quinn’s bailed us out all year,” said left-hander Drew Dowd, who took over on the mound for Stanford after the Vols had batted around against Mathews in the fifth.  “When I took the ball...

PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappé’s twice-taken penalty moved him one goal behind Michel Platini on France’s all-time scoring list as Greece was beaten 1-0 in European Championship qualifying on Monday.Platini won the Ballon d’Or three straight times from 1983-85 during his heyday with Juventus and France, for which the gifted playmaker scored and created goals with a casual brilliance that became his trademark.“It’s huge when you know what Michel Platini represents for France,” Mbappé said. “He’s a legend.”The win was a fourth straight for World Cup runner-up France without conceding a goal in Group B — all with Mbappé as the new captain.“Let’s hope it lasts. I’m learning every day,” Mbappé said. “It’s an enriching experience to have this responsibility.”Mbappé also reached 54 goals over the season combined for France and Paris Saint-Germain to beat the overall mark set by the great Just Fontaine in the 1957-58 season — the year Fontaine set an individual scoring r...

Former top pick Henry Davis arrives in Pittsburgh eager to help after sprint through the minors

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:46:57 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pirates tried to take their time with Henry Davis.His bat wouldn’t let them.The top overall pick in the 2021 amateur draft was to make his major-league debut on Monday night, playing right field while batting seventh against the Chicago Cubs in hopes of sparking an erratic offense in serious need of a jolt.The Pirates insist they remain committed to making Davis an everyday catcher. For now, however, the 23-year-old will spend most of his time — at least during games — getting a crash course in how to play right field at PNC Park, where the 21-foot-high Roberto Clemente Wall and its sometimes funky caroms can make learning the position on the fly difficult.“If I can help the Pirates win in right, I’m excited about it,” Davis said.Davis’ debut caps a rapid rise through the system, particularly this season. He began the year at Double-A Altoona and was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on June 4 with the team intent on having him splitting catching wi...
