The family and friends of John McCain paid their respects to the late senator on Wednesday, during a private memorial service at the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix.


Meghan McCain, the senator’s daughter, and Cindy McCain, his wife of 38 years, were both at the service and wept over his casket. At one point, Cindy tenderly placed her cheek against the flag draping her husband’s coffin.
The McCain family announced on Friday that the six-term Arizona senator had decided, “with his usual strength of will,” to discontinue medical treatment for stage-four brain cancer.
Just one day later, Sen. McCain died at the age of 81.

U.S. Open Highlights: Wins for Williams Sisters; Big Loss for No. 1 Halep

US Open Tennis 2018 Results: No. 1 Simona Halep Upset in Monday's Early Play


World No. 1 Simona Halep fell in the first round at the 2018 U.S. Open on Monday as she was defeated 6-2, 6-4 by Estonia's Kaia Kanepi. The French Open champion looked to have turned the momentum in her favour when she levelled from a double break down to 4-4 in the second set. But she was then broken again before world No. 44 Kanepi secured a momentous triumph. In the men's draw, eighth seed Grigor Dimitrov was the biggest casualty in Monday's opening session as he lost 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 to three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka. Elsewhere, Andy Murray came through in four sets against James Duckworth, but his fellow Brit, Kyle Edmund, was downed by Italy's Paolo Lorenzi.

The Romanian went into the U.S. Open as one of the favourites, but she was outclassed by Kanepi at the Louis Armstrong Stadium as she was broken on five occasions.
Halep only had nine winners in the match compared to Kanepi's 26, and she won just six points behind her second serve.

She was blown away in the opener, not forcing a single break point on Kanepi's serve and losing her own twice.
The underdog then secured a double break in the second before Halep rallied back to 4-4.


With the momentum back in her favour, it looked as though the 2015 semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows might save herself from a shock exit.

Mikaela Mayer batters Edina Kiss, forces her to quit in fourth-round TKO

Mikaela Mayer batters Edina Kiss, forces her to quit in fourth-round TKO

Mayer is currently 6-0 for her professional career, and is looking to make that a 7-0 after her fight with Edina Kiss Saturday night at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

5. Mayer Says That Fighting Live on ESPN is a “Dream Come True”  & Can’t Wait to Showcase Her Skills on the “Greatest Sports Network in the World”

The Mayer vs. Kiss fight will be part of a special world championship event featuring Ray Beltran’s WBO lightweight title defense against Jose Pedraza and Isaac Dogboe’s WBO junior featherweight title defense against Hidenori Otake, according to Round by Round Boxing. “Fighting live on ESPN is a dream come true and something I have been looking forward to since I made the decision to leave the amateur ranks and turn pro with Top Rank,” Mayer told RBR. “I gave up my dream of an Olympic gold medal to step onto a bigger stage and to help take women’s boxing to the next level. Now, after years of fighting out of the limelight, I get to showcase my skills on the greatest sports network in the world.”


Unbeaten lightweight Mikaela Mayer utterly dismantled Edina Kiss in a third-round TKO on a Friday edition of Top Rank on ESPN at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The skill differential was clear from the opening second.
The 2016 Olympian Mayer (7-0, 4 KO's), 28, who was born in California and trains in Colorado Springs, knocked down Kiss with a big right hand.
Mayer charged right at Kiss and brought the fight to her, landing hard jabs, upjabs, and precise body shots, but Kiss had nothing for her. In the third round, Kiss even turned her back and ran the other direction to give herself some breathing room, but Mayer ran her back down.
After getting the kiss knocked out of her for three rounds, Kiss opted not to come out for the fourth-round.
This is Mayer's fourth bout of 2018 and her second knockout of the year. She scored a first-round knockout of Maria Semertzoglou in March and scored points victories over Baby Nansen and Sheena Kaine, respectively, in May and June.
When asked what she wants next Mayer said: "I want to start going for the belts. I think I am ready. I had a lot of experience in the amateurs. I'm doing what my coaches have told me to do in the pros; they've seen me step up, so I am ready to start taking those belts at 130."

It was KSI who light the blue touchpaper back in February when he called Paul out following his win over Joe Weller in London.

But the only thing being traded tonight will be leather as these influencers bid to show they are not just full of witty one-liners.

New England Patriots 2018 roster breakdown: #86 WR Paul Turner
August 25, 2018

New England Patriots 2018 roster breakdown: #86 WR Paul Turner

It would be a surprise if the 25-year old survived roster cuts

The New England Patriots currently have 88 players on their active roster. However, only 53 of them will be able to survive the cutdowns on September 1 and ultimately make the team. Over the course of the offseason, we take a look at the players fighting for those spots to find out who has the best chances of helping the Patriots recapture the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The New England Patriots currently have 88 players on their active roster. However, only 53 of them will be able to survive the cutdowns on September 1 and ultimately make the team. Over the course of the offseason, we take a look at the players fighting for those spots to find out who has the best chances of helping the Patriots recapture the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Today, the series continues with one of New England’s wide receivers
Name: Paul Turner
Position: Wide receiver
Jersey number: 86
Opening day age: 25
Experience: 2
Size: 5’10, 195 lbs.
2017 review: After appearing in four games during his 2016 rookie season and catching nine passes for 126 yards, Paul Turner was unable to make the second-year jump in 2017: he injured his shoulder early during the Philadelphia Eagles’ training camp and was forced to miss all of the team’s preseason. As a result, the Eagles opted to release him with an injury settlement in early September. It would take Turner four months to find a new team.
After remaining unsigned throughout the 2017 season, the former undrafted free agent signed a one-year futures contract with the New Orleans Saints in January.
2018 preview: Turner failed to establish himself with the Saints and was let go again after mandatory minicamp. This time, it would “only” take him one month to find new work: in late July, the Patriots brought him on board. Joining a crowded wide receiver room at the time, Turner was projected as a long-shot to actually make New England’s 53-man roster. And even though the position has changed quite a bit since last month, Turner’s roster outlook has not.
The 25-year old currently appears to be at the bottom of the depth chart, having played only 10 offensive snaps during the Patriots’ first three preseason contests. Turner, who also played 13 snaps in the kicking game, failed to register any statistics or stand out in any way. The best case scenario for him therefore appears to be the following: after his inevitable release, he gets signed to New England’s or another team’s practice squad.
In order for that to happen, though, he will need to perform well during the preseason finale next week. Judging by his last three games, this is not guaranteed to happen.
