John Lewis as an ethical power for the country on Monday in a Capitol Rotunda rite wealthy with symbolism and punctuated through the booming, recorded voice of the overdue civil rights icon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to as Lewis the “conscience of the Congress” who was once “revered and beloved on both sides of the aisle, on both sides of the Capitol.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell praised the longtime Georgia congressman as a style of braveness and a “peacemaker.” “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” McConnell, a Republican, stated, quoting the Rev.

Lewis Hamilton Ready To Get ‘Down And Dirty’ After Ferrari’s Victory
Most F1 drivers would be pleased with a runner-up finish to begin the 2017 season, but Lewis Hamilton isn’t like most F1 drivers. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver watched Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel coast to a P1 finish at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, as Hamilton finished nearly 10 seconds behind, good for P2.. And even though it was a strong day for Mercedes, with Valtteri Bottas calming his first podium as a member of the team, Hamilton sounded anything but satisfied after the race. Given Ferrari’s performance in preseason testing, its victory Sunday shouldn’t surprise anyone — including Hamilton. Still, even though a rac... NESN.com

Ray Lewis Thinks Tom Brady Still Is Motivated By Deflategate Before Super Bowl LI
Tom Brady says he’s totally over Deflategate, but is he really? The New England Patriots quarterback served his four-game suspension to begin the 2016 NFL season and claimed the situation was behind him long before the Pats made it to Super Bowl LI.

Share this: Friday’s UFC Fight Night Albany main event between heavyweight contenders Derrick Lewis and Shamil Abdurakhimov wasn’t pretty, but Lewis did get the finish at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y., stopping his foe in the fourth round. “That was one of my most terrible fights,” Lewis said. “I didn’t like my performance at all.
