United States District Judge Christopher Cooper declined to block the government’s $100 million lawsuit against Lance Armstrong, which will put the retired cyclist on trial in a case from 2010 which stems from his use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Golden State believed it had the coach they needed when it named Steve Kerr, a guy with no coaching experience of any kind, as head coach in 2014. People thought the Warriors’ front office was nuts to offer him $5 million a season, but so far, he looks like a bargain. It had to help that the Warriors were already moving in the right direction when they hired Kerr. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards can’t make the same claim.
As a whole, Americans are expected to fill out 70 million NCAA Tournament brackets this year. Each bracket will have, on average, $29 wagered on it, which contributes to the whopping $10.4 billion that will be bet on March Madness this year, per the American Gaming Association. This $10.4 billion number includes popular office pools and is a 13 percent increase from last season. Perhaps unsurprisingly, only about three percent of the money bet on the tournament is believed to be wagered legally in the U.
In September of 2014, a federal judge originally ruled in favor of Minaj, stating that although the wigs that Nicki wore were “unique and distinctive in the ordinary sense of the word,” they weren’t recognizable by the public as having been designed by Davidson, who also has celebrity clients such as Patti LaBelle and Jennifer Hudson. In addition, the judge also ruled in favor of Minaj on the grounds that there was not a contract signed between the two, which left Davidson empty handed, and apparently on the losing end of the case.
Then, in August 2016, about three years into his five year deal, Nike decided to get out of the golf clubs, balls, and bags business altogether. He would still wear Nike hats, shoes, gloves and clothes, but this left McIlroy free to seek a new sponsorship for the golf basics. And boy, did he ever land a big one! McIlroy signed a long-term deal with Taylormade to use their bag, clubs, and golf balls.
Dennis Rodman Career earnings: $29 million Dennis “The Worm” Rodman was known for his outstanding rebounding and colorful hairstyles during his playing days. More recently he made headlines by suggesting that he could mediate U.S./North Korea peace talks because he is homies with Kim Jong Un.

Over the course of Donald Trump’s campaign, he answered a bevy of questions regarding the wall he plans to build, his plan to repeal Obamacare, in addition to a variety of other questions. But there is one question that he never quite gave a straight answer to: would he release his tax returns? During his campaign, he failed to do so, and now that he is president, it appears that he still won’t be doing so.

The Mirthmobile has a few film-specific modifications that set it apart from any other ‘76 Pacers that may be pretenders to the Mirthmobile throne. These include cosmetic changes like a sweet baby blue paint job in both the exterior and interior of the car (its original color scheme was yellow on the outside, brown on the inside), but were mostly functional for purposes of filming. It has no air conditioner or heater, to that end, and also steel plates welded onto the rocker panels in order to support camera rigs.

Franklin Castle – Price: $260,000 Where: Cleveland, Ohio National Registry of Historic Places – 1982 While relatively inexpensive comparatively speaking, Franklin Castle has one of the more interesting pasts of any home on this list.

Between 1891 and 1895 four of Tiedemann’s children, his wife, and his mother died in the house. While living there, he made extensive renovations, adding a ballroom, turrets, gargoyles, and other castle-like additions.
Not surprisingly, once again Kobe Bryant (whose Lakers got booted from the playoffs last week) is the highest paid NBA player in the league. The rest of the top 10 is completely different from last year. For example, last year’s second highest player Rashard Lewis is no longer even in the top 50. Last year Rashard made $22.1 million, this year he is making $1.3 million. The same is also true for last year’s #3 player Tim Duncan whose $9 million 2013 salary is not enough to crack the top 50 this year.
It’s The Macallan 40, so named for its 40 years of aging before being bottled. And even though eight grand may seem like a lot to pay for a bottle of Scotch, unlike most other things you’re likely to spend that kind of money on, The Macallan 40 will only go up in value – or so says the brand’s manager of brand education and prestige whisky Charlie Whitfield in the Robb Report story on the special edition release: All in all, 500 bottles The Macallan 40 were produced, and even if you don’t get to taste the elusive nectar you can still enjoy the story of its making, also courtesy of Charlie Whitfield: Be that as it may, The Macallan 40 isn’t even the rarest, or most valuable, product released by The Macallan as of late – they also recently came out with a 65-year-old Scotch that went for $65,000!
