Take, for example, Dec. 16, 2007, the day CNN and Gallup released a national poll showing Giuliani crushing his rivals for the Republican nomination by 11 points. Or, for that matter, any day before Dec. 16, 2007, when he led the field by as much as 24. In every single poll. Here in Florida, one need only look to Jan. 7—a mere three weeks ago—to find Giuliani up by seven....

Yes, someone brought a cardboard cutout of Toronto's deposed, substance-abusing man-baby of a mayor, The Penguins were playing the New York Islanders, not the Maple Leafs.

Bundesliga leaders Dortmund welcome Bayern to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday with a four-point cushion to their rivals, Lucien Favre’s men having won five of their past six league games. Kovac’s men are also on an improved run of form, with seven points taken from the last nine available, but the former Eintracht Frankfurt coach feels Bayern are underdogs for the clash. And he could be without Robben as the 34-year-old, who has scored three Bundesliga goals this season, is short of full fitness....

That said, it appears Batman & Robin continues to provide would-be Dark Knight’s with some assistance in their own attempts at playing the DC hero....

It seems as though Zelda will be playing her own save of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild instead of starting the game from the beginning. Even so, those that decide to tune in shouldn’t be subjected to too many spoilers. According to Zelda, she has completed the first four shrines in the game, but isn’t much farther than that.

As it turns out, Rocket League for Switch does offer up a versatile range of multiplayer options, but it appears as though one of the primary means of multiplayer on the Switch will not be available. Although split-screen TV mode, local wireless play, and online multiplayer will be compatible with the game, playing the title in Tabletop mode is apparently only available in single player. Should this information prove to be accurate it may be disappointing to some, but it is not exactly surprising....
