Barring the two semifinals and final, the Euro has already yielded 69 goals in its opening 28 games. But what is remarkable, is that of those 69, already 20 have been from headers which is three more than the record of 17 set in 2004. So, what is the reason behind such headed goals? The UEFA head Michel Platini is happy and insisted that the introduction of extra officials behind the goals has reduced the amount of grappling at corners and free-kicks....
But don’t be too quick to toast the finding, which is based on a comparison of 340 heartattack survivors with the same number of heart-healthy controls. For one thing, drinking can cause high blood pressure, stroke, cirrhosis of the liver, car crashes, impaired cognitive abilities, birth defects and possibly breast and bowel cancer. And moderate drinking often turns into heavy drinking, which clearly hurts the heart. The difference between two drinks a day and five, write the scientists, “may mean the difference between preventing and causing disease....
OK, so curing baldness won’t save lives. But it will undoubtedly ease the emotional suffering of millions. Each year, those 80 million follicularly challenged men and women pour $2 billion into the quest for the magic pill, medical procedure–or at least the perfect wig, says Chris Webb, editor of The National Hair Journal. Tip Sheet offers a guide to what’s available now–and what’s on the horizon: MEDICATIONS. Buyer beware: so far, the FDA has approved only two antibaldness medications: minoxidil, sold over the counter as Rogaine, for both men and women, and finasteride, a prescription pill sold as Propecia, for men only....

DEVENEY: Bosh’s battle requires dose of perspective Bosh has been out since Feb. 9 with what was initially diagnosed as a calf strain. But his history with blood clots has reportedly been a concern for the team and physicians. Bosh missed the second half of the 2014-15 season after suffering from blood clots. He ruled himself out of the playoffs last month. The Heat currently lead the Toronto Raptors 1-0 in the second round of the NBA Playoffs....
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Dion Waiters has not played for the Heat this season, and that streak continued Friday under bizarre circumstances. Miami radio host Andy Slater reported that Waiters ingested too many “gummies” (presumably of the recreational-drug type and not vitamins) while the team was in flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles after its game Thursday vs. the Suns. Waiters, it seems, was not well at the end of the flight....
“My mom used to tell me that I had a small black and white TV that I would hold and watch on the bottom bunk of my bunk bed and watch all 162 games when I was a kid,” Hardy, who faces Shelly Vincent for a world title Saturday on HBO, told Sporting News. “I used to play stick ball and wiffle ball all the time. I love baseball. But little girls weren’t allowed to play little league....

The 25-year-old suffered the setback in Liverpool’s Uefa Champions League defeat to Real Madrid and he has been ruled out for three weeks. However, the 62-year-old, with hopes of avoiding further injury crisis, is optimistic that his squad can have a remarkable outing in Russia....
Yes, he is, Mrs. Vinnicombe, and Warner Bros. and Mattel and Coke and every other company with a stake in the movie version of “Harry Potter” are all betting that there are tens of millions more like Brendan, counting the hours until the movie debuts Nov. 16. Already the most popular children’s book of all time, “Harry Potter” as a movie must now live up to its best-selling legacy. The studio is privately calling this the most important movie franchise in company history (at least three sequels are planned, with a possible total of seven), and that’s some claim coming from the company that made the “Batman,” “Lethal Weapon” and “Matrix” films....
The hosts saw off FC Emmen in the last round to book their spot at this stage. Meanwhile, Feyenoord held on for a narrow 3-2 victory at home to Heracles Almelo. Last Sunday’s Eredivisie games were canceled due to bad weather. This saw Feyenoord’s proposed match with Groningen postponed to a later date. The Rotterdam outfit come into this clash fresher than Heerenveen. The hosts were in action on Saturday when they picked up a 1-0 victory over Vitesse....
LONDON (Reuters) - Dutch brewer Heineken’s sponsorship deal with Formula One, announced last week, has led to renewed calls from European campaigners for a ban on alcohol sponsorship in the sport. European Alcohol Policy Alliance network Eurocare, which groups public health and non-governmental organisations, said on Tuesday it wanted stronger legislation from the European Commission and member states. France, a country without a Formula One grand prix, already bans alcohol sponsorship of sporting events....
Clemson and Alabama look nigh-on impossible to stop, while Georgia, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma are legitimate playoff candidates. If teams have lived up to expectations, the same can be said for Heisman Trophy contenders. Unsurprisingly, quarterbacks lead the race for the award, with Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow the three runaway favorites so far. Tagovailoa began the season as a joint-favorite along Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence to win the Heisman Trophy and now leads the race as 2/1 favorite....
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - When American Ryan Held needed a supportive shoulder to lean on after claiming an emotional first Olympic medal on Sunday, he found just what was needed in the man who has collected more than any other athlete in the history of sport. The towering figure of Michael Phelps, now the proud owner of 19 golds and four other medals, stood alongside the 21-year-old debutant on the Rio podium as part of the quartet that won the 4x100 metres freestyle relay....
The model, 22, had originally faced a misdemeanor assault charge for striking a 24-year-old woman that he didn’t know while attending New York City’s Feast of San Gennaro festival in September 2021. According to the New York Post, Mingus Reedus pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday. The charge is classed as a violation, which is less than a misdemeanor, in New York City. Assistant District Attorney Elaine Ortyl said that the victim in the case had expressed a desire for Mingus Reedus to “take more accountability” than the plea deal that was offered....
