Has one North Korean cheerleader gone rogue during the 2018 Winter Olympics? North Korea’s squad of cheerleaders has been a hit in Pyeongchang, South Korea, due to the energetic and choreographed support they provide Korean Olympians. The so-called “Army of Beauties” reserves its enthusiasm solely for its own teams, so the fact one appeared to cheer for a sworn enemy is notable. Korean-language television cameras spotted a North Korean cheerleader clapping for United States figure skaters Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim last Friday during one of their performances. As you can see in the video below, the cheerleader seated next to the rogue cl... NESN.com

Did Henry Romero Bite USA Star Jozy Altidore In Gold Cup Quarterfinal Game?
Share this: FC Barcelona star Luis Suarez is the most well-known soccer player when it comes to biting an opponent, but the world might get to know El Salvador defender Henry Romero, too. He appeared to bite United States forward Jozy Altidore in the second half of the teams’ 2017 Gold Cup quarterfinal game Wednesday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. To the surprise of everyone watching, Romero was not given a straight red card for his actions. Romero had already been given a yellow card for a poor challenge in the 18th minute. He easily could have been shown five or six yellows for his reckless play throughout the game. CONCACAF might also take a further look at the incident and consider if
Riding With Lyft Now Can Earn You Free Miles With Delta Airlines
Share this: Free airline miles are a precious resource, something people go to great lengths to accumulate. Now, though, you can earn miles on your way to work, class, or even the airport. That’s because lyft, the United States’ second most popular ride-hailing service, is allowing users to earn miles with Delta Airlines on every ride they take, the company announced Wednesday. All users have to do is link their accounts to Delta’s SkyMiles program, and they’ll earn a mile for every dollar they spend on Lyft. There’s even an added bonus for rides to and from airports, as riders can earn three miles per dollar. Lyft has been quite active lately, as the company announced a self-driving vehicle partnership with Alphabet-owned Waymo on Monday. Thumbnail photo
US Dealers Calling On Porsche To Further Expand Panamera Lineup
When Porsche revealed the new Panamera Sport Turismo, we joked the wagon made the sedan variant seem pointless. Those words apparently were truer than we even realized. Despite the lack of popularity of wagons in the United States, the Sport Turismo has made a lot of noise since its release, as it improves on the looks of the Panamera 4. The model also is the talk of the town among U.S. dealers, though for a different reason, according to Automotive News. In addition to improving on its appearance, the Sport Turismo also fixed the sedan’s other major problem. It is the first Panamera to be sold with five seats, which reportedly is something dealers ... NESN.com
GM Reportedly Will Deploy World’s Largest Fleet Of Self-Driving Cars
It’s pretty difficult at this point to determine which automaker is the most serious about developing self-driving vehicles in the United States. General Motors, though, might have plans to distance itself from the pack. The U.S. automaker plans to soon deploy 300 Chevrolet Bolts fitted with self-driving technology, Spectrum reported Friday. If true, GM would sport the world’s largest fleet of autonomous vehicles, placing it well ahead of Waymo, which currently owns the largest such fleet at nearly 80 vehicles. GM currently has around 50 driverless cars deployed across San Francisco, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Detroit. In addition to expanding its vehi... NESN.com

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Saturday morning he’ll be at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for the 117th meeting of the Cadets and Midshipmen.
