With E3 blowing through in early June, the latest details for the next installment of the Halo series, titled Halo Infinite, are as good as a feast. Xbox (and PC) gamers have waited for a release since details for the game first emerged in 2018, and the release is nearing the finish line. In 2020, an eight-minute video of Infinite was released; it was panned by fans and critics alike....

It’s ironic that this quintessentially American story should be told by Brits. But BBC producer Anthony Geffen, with directors Edmund Coulthard and Nick Godwin and writer Mark Hay-hurst, have given “The Promised Land” an intensely American rhythm, propelled by an extraordinary score by artists such as jazzman Louis Armstrong, blues singerBessie Smith and rap group Public Enemy and original music by Terence Blanchard, who scored Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X.” Narrated by Morgan Freeman, each episode opens with an animated graphic based on Jacob Lawrence’s classic series of paintings on the Great Migration....

Yes, the 2022 college football season is finally here, though it won’t feature the top-25 action that will be prevalent in the official opening week. That likely won’t stop voracious fans from tuning in and watching anyway. For the second straight year, the offseason was rocked by news of conference realignment, this time of USC and UCLA leaving the Pac-12 to join the Big Ten. That is the latest shift in the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics, one the Big Ten seemed to aim directly at the SEC after it added Texas and Oklahoma the previous year....

The Red Devils were thrashed 6-3 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in October as Erik ten Hag’s reign got off to something of a mixed start.
