It’s one thing to be in Moscow, listening to President Vladimir Putin claim that the “counter terrorist operation” in Chechnya ended in the spring of 2000. But when Russian field officers tell you the same thing as you’re walking through the vast ruins of Grozny, surrounded by a squad of heavily armed guards, you’ve reached an Orwellian scale of denial. We spent two nights in Chechnya and heard shooting on both of them....
Well, to help deal with that inevitable sleeplessness, here’s a little primer on some of the most recognizable places from the horror genre, all located conveniently around the city of angels. RELATED: The Real-Life Murderer Who Inspired The Clovehitch Killer Halloween First up is Michael Myers’ house from 1978’s Halloween. Located at 1000 Mission St. in South Pasadena, this legendary abode looks much less imposing in person.

Not only was it an older roster with a lot of bad contracts, but it was an older roster with a lot of bad contacts that was coming off of a non-playoff season and looked to be in desperate need of a rebuild. With few marketable assets for trade and the lack of a young, foundational player in which to build around, it seemed like the beginning of a dismal stretch for Detroit — especially as the front office seemed to be hesitant to fully commit to an overhaul....

Chelsea came into the game fresh off the back of a dominating 3-0 Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur and were looking to keep the juggernaut rolling. The visitors also picked up a morale-boosting win in their previous outing when they claimed a 3-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League.

Chelsea loanee Hector: I could’ve been selling trainers in JD Sports!

According to The Sun, Saul Niguez is ‘surprised’ by his current situation at Chelsea. The Spaniard hoped a move to the Premier League would help rejuvenate his career and help boost his chances of a call-up to the Spain squad.

He was left out of Luis Enrique’s Spain squad for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers this month....
The present manager, Max Allegri, will step down in search of a new challenge, possibly in London. In case you didn’t know… Maurizio Sarri took over from his compatriot Antonio Conte at Chelsea last summer. During his 3-year spell at Napoli, he was applauded for the way he transformed the club with his style of football. In fact, Napoli’s gameplay was so attractive that is was branded ‘Sarriball’. With short, crisp passes to maintain possession and shrewd movement off the ball, Napoli was a prime contender for the Scudetto in Italy....

The German coach defended the former Inter Milan striker ahead of the game, after another limp performance in their 1-0 Premier League win at Crystal Palace on Feb. 19, but chose to remove him from the starting XI. Lukaku made headlines at Selhurst Park, after managing just seven touches across 90 minutes, as the lowest recorded involvement in a Premier League game since 2003. The Belgian star has divided opinion on his return to the Blues this summer, with just five Premier League goals in 17 games this season, and his omission from such a big game raises further questions over Tuchel’s faith in him at Stamford Bridge....

The first requirement for being nice is to refrain from killing someone, and there we have a problem. But isn’t it possible that Americans murder each other at much higher rates than most other nationalities not because we are meaner but because we make it easier, through lax gun control? (There is no such thing as a drive-by stabbing.) If the world were polled on which country has friendly, open people, the United States, for all its faults, would be somewhere near the top – about 200 countries ahead of, say, France....
