“We were always interacting with people and trying to get the most out of every weekend,” Bowyer says. “We were from Kansas. …” MORE: Watch Bowyer’s wild crash | 500 lineup breakdown | Danica misses spotlight | 50 Cent wants NASCAR kiss And then came the punchline: “(So) when you got back home, you couldn’t wait to get back to the track.” Bowyer then cracked up with his signature laugh at his little jab about his family and life in his home state — you have to be able to laugh at yourself....

There are no team or player options in the deal, according to The Athletic’s Michael Scotto, so the Rockets will keep the 24-year-old just as he hits his prime years. After the way free agency unfolded this summer, that’s good news Houston natives needed to hear. MORE: Why we shouldn’t be burying the Rockets just yet Following the short-lived LeBron James dream, the Rockets locked up Chris Paul for the foreseeable future but watched Trevor Ariza sign with the Suns and Luc Mbah a Moute leave for the Clippers as free agents....

Anyway, BAU isn’t such a bad idea at this point. It isn’t wise to tip your hand before you have a hand-people and policies in place. Ted Sorensen doesn’t remember his president, John F. Kennedy, doing anything un-BAU during his early transition period: “He was very cautious … He didn’t make any predictions, cheerful or gloomy.” Indeed, it might be argued that the few steps Clinton has taken outside BAU–not being more equivocal about homosexuals in the military, announcing an economic summit-have been missteps....

Here’s an easy way to understand the difference between the GOP bills that passed Congress last month and the craftily constructed Clinton plan announced last week. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (whose figures have proven reliable so far), the Republicans give as much or more tax relief to the top one percent of taxpayers as to the bottom 60 percent combined. The president’s proposal, while plenty generous to the upper middle class with targeted long-term capital gains relief, gives one tenth as much to the top one percent as to the bottom 60 percent....

The veteran guard had 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists on Sunday, helping the Clippers beat the Sacramento Kings 122-108 for their third straight victory. “Pat has been MVP or key to us in this run,” coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s a tough-guy competitor and holds every guy accountable on the floor.” Missing Gallinari for five games due to lower back spasms, the Clippers went 3-1 on their recent road trip....

Jennings had his head shaved for Macmillan Cancer Support on Friday and easily surpassed his initial target of £3000. A number of Jennings’ county and international colleagues pledged their support by making donations, with Stokes’ contribution receiving particular praise from the 26-year-old. England internationals Dom Bess, Olly Stone, Mark Wood and Sam Curran were among those to donate to the cause, with Jennings revealing all-rounder Stokes had made a hefty addition to the total....

It was Alvarez, though by the slimmest of margins. He won the last round on two scorecards Saturday night on the Las Vegas Strip to hand Golovkin the first loss of his career in a fight that more than lived up to its advance billing. To settle who is really the best, though, they may just have to do it a third time. And that’s fine with both fighters, who have now gone 24 rounds together with little but a few points on the scorecards to separate them....

HIL chairman Narinder Batra said the bid would give the franchisees the chance to buy new players to replace permanent withdrawals and complete their squads. “The base prices for the players vary from $2,600 to $25,000. Ninety-five Indian and 59 overseas players from 14 countries have made themselves available for the bid,” said Batra. The inaugural season was won by the Ranchi Rhinos while the second season will be played from Jan 25 to Feb 23....

Boston will get minor-league second baseman Josh Tobias in return as it unloads the $13.5 million due in the final year of Buchholz’s contract. Buchholz, 32, has spent his entire career in the Red Sox organization and experienced plenty of highs and lows along the way. Last season was more of the latter, with an 8-10 record and 4.78 ERA in 37 appearances (21 starts). MORE: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens will be Hall of Famers — eventually...

Kershaw had been brilliant on this unseasonably warm mid-October night in the Windy City — it was still 68 degrees as the clock rolled past 10 p.m. — and his effort breathed new life into the Dodgers’ dreams of reaching the World Series for the first time since the miraculous 1988 season. If the Dodgers had lost Sunday night, they would have been down 2-0 in the best-of-seven NLCS. Instead, it’s 1-1 as the series heads to Los Angeles for three games....

Clichy was released by City when his contract expired following the 2016-17 campaign, ending a six-year stay at the Etihad Stadium, during which time he won both the Premier League and EFL Cup on two occasions. Basaksehir announced via their Twitter page that Clichy will undergo a medical and sign his contract on Friday. Details of the deal have not been disclosed, but reports in Turkey suggest the 31-year-old will pen a three-year deal worth €3million per season....

Clint Dempsey was probably one of the hottest properties in English football a year ago. One year after engineering a move to Tottenham to play for a “big club”, Dempsey won’t be playing in England itself anymore. The USA international has decided to return home and join the Seattle Sounders of the MLS after a fee of $9 million was agreed. A statement from Tottenham today has confirmed the news that Clint Dempsey will be returning to the MLS, where he last played in 2006....

In a Feb. 28 expose headlined THE SPY STRIPPED NAKED, the paper claims that the countess’s books “may be more fiction than fact.” The most important piece of evidence: a recently declassified file in the National Archives in Washington. The paper says it was written by the countess in 1945 when she was Aline Griffith (formerly of Pearl River, N.Y.) and working as a code clerk in Madrid for the OSS, the precursor of the CIA....

Looking at previews of Cloudscape, it’s easy to see where it might get its Stardew Valley elements and design from. But it also looks to pull in some elements of survival games reminiscent of another indie game, Don’t Starve. RELATED: Will Coral Island Be Just Another Stardew Valley Clone?

While he’s affiliated with FOX and not technically WWE, Punk simply can now let everyone know his feelings about various things throughout pro wrestling. He claimed that “if it’s good, I’ll tell you that and pat you on the back, if it’s bad, you’ll probably hate me,” during an interview with Renee Young. Punk has been out of the wrestling loop for the last five years due to his departure from WWE in 2014....
