| How to Watch 'American Idol' 2020 Premiere: Live Stream, Auditions, Airtime and More Show Info Posted: 16 Feb 2020 10:07 AM PST The search is officially on for the next American Idol. The music competition series will premiere its new season Sunday on ABC. The premiere marks the reality competition's 18th season overall, but it is only its third season airing on ABC. The show—created by former American Idol judge Simon Cowell—originally debuted on Fox in the summer of 2002. ABC acquired the rights to the program in 2017, during which time it began airing in the winter and was expanded to include more judges and an in-house mentor. Read on for all the info on the season premiere below. When does American Idol air?Season 18 will premiere Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. Can American Idol be live streamed?Viewers can stream the show on any smart device via ABC's website or app, but they will need a cable provider login to access the stream. Hulu subscribers with Plus Live services can watch the show in real time, as can those with YouTube TV. Who are the 2020 judges?Singers Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan are back as judges on the new season. Bobby Bones returns in a mentor capacity and will work with the incoming contestants. Of course, Ryan Seacrest, an executive producer of the show, will be on hand as American Idol host, a position he's held since the competition first debuted 18 years ago. When does voting start?Viewers have a few weeks to go before voting begins. First on the American Idol roster are the auditions. To find the next lucky artist, judges will travel across the country and hold auditions in cities including Savannah, Georgia; Washington, D.C.; Sunriver, Oregon; Milwaukee; and Los Angeles. Once judges hand out the golden tickets that send their chosen contestants to Hollywood, viewers' voting will begin to determine the top 10 singers who move on to the live shows. Then each week viewers will choose who they want to move on to the next round of live competitions by voting online, through the American Idol app or via text. Who won American Idol last year?The 2019 winner was Louisiana native Laine Hardy. The 19-year-old released his debut single, "Flame," immediately after winning the champion title and has since relocated to Nashville to begin work on his first studio album. Hardy told country music website Boot that he started recording songs with Michael Knox, a country music producer who's worked with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean and Idol judge Bryan. A release date for Hardy's debut album has not yet been disclosed.  |

| Iran’s president: Trump doesn’t want war ahead of 2020 vote Posted: 16 Feb 2020 09:20 AM PST TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday that he doesn't believe the U.S. will pursue war with his country, because it will harm President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection bid. Rouhani said that Trump knows that war with Iran will "ruin" his chances of winning the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The Iranian leader added that war would be harmful to U.S. interests and those of its regional allies, as well as Iran. "I think the Americans aren't after war since they know what harm it could do them," said Rouhani in a news conference. He said that Persian Gulf nations like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar stood a lot to lose if conflict between Iran and the U.S. turns to war. Tehran and Washington came close to an open conflict in January, when a U.S. drone strike killed Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani, outside Baghdad. Iran retaliated with missile strikes on a base housing U.S. troops in Iraq. Tensions have been escalating steadily since Trump pulled the U.S. out of Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and reimposed crippling sanctions on Iran. Rouhani reiterated that the U.S. should rejoin the nuclear deal if it wants to return to negotiations. "We will finally get the enemy to sit at the negotiating table some day, like before," said Rouhani, referring to the U.S. Rouhani also encouraged Iranians to turnout in large numbers for parliamentary elections on Friday, as a show of defiance against the U.S. "Americans will not be happy with a high-turnout,"he said. "Surely they will be happy with a low-turnout election." Iran's parliamentary elections are seen as a test of the popularity of Rouhani's relatively moderate and pro-reform bloc led. His government, however, has mostly struggled to deliver on campaign promises to improve people's lives as Iran's economy buckles under the weight of U.S. sanctions. Iranian authorities have also barred thousands of parliamentary candidates from running, mainly reformists and moderates. Friday's elections could strengthen the hand of Iranian hard-liners, who champion confronting the West.  |
| 10 players Detroit Lions could target in Round 2 of 2020 NFL draft Posted: 16 Feb 2020 09:13 AM PST Former Detroit Lions wide receiver and CBS and NFL Network analyst Nate Burleson speaks to the media on radio row at Super Bowl 54 in Miami. Detroit Free Press If the Detroit Lions hold onto the No. 3 pick in April's draft, their choices seem obvious. Ohio State defensive end Chase Young is a run-your-card-to-the-podium pick if he's there. He's the best defensive player in the draft, one of the best pass-rush prospects to come out of college in a decade and exactly the type of game-changing talent the Lions need for their defense. If he's not, and if the Lions don't want to go the Tua Tagovailoa route — and there's no evidence yet to suggest they do — they'll be picking from one of three prospects, in all likelihood: Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah, Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown and Clemson hybrid Isaiah Simmons. Maybe South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw works his way into the discussion; he had a killer Senior Bowl week and is nearly on par with Brown as a prospect. But that's it. That's the group of game-wreckers the Lions will have their eyes on early in Round 1. [Here are all the reasons why the Lions won't trade Matthew Stafford]  If the Lions don't spend the No. 3 pick on Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown, shown here sacking then-Purdue QB David Blough in the 2018 Music Bowl, they'll need to address the interior of their defensive line somewhere in the draft. (Photo: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports) None of those players' stock will fluctuate much between now and the draft. They're all virtual locks to go in the top half of the first round, and they'd all look dreamy in a Lions uniform. But what about Round 2? And what about any potential late first-round pick the Lions acquire in a trade down (like, say, No. 26 from the Miami Dolphins)? Whether the Lions are "two really good players away" from being one of the better teams in the NFC, like ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky suggests, or whether they need a much greater influx of talent, they can't afford to miss on whatever top-40 picks they end up with in the draft. With the NFL combine just over a week away, here's a look at 10 prospects who should interest the Lions beyond the top five. CB C.J. Henderson, FloridaI think Henderson emerges as the second-best corner in the draft, and I don't see much chance he makes it to No. 35, the Lions' current second-round pick. But teams are funny about drafting cornerbacks sometime — a fit for one team isn't always a fit for another — and Henderson could be there at No. 26 (that trade with the Dolphins again) or if the Lions were to make a move up. If they don't take Okudah with their first pick, they still have a need at cornerback and Henderson bears no resemblance to the last Florida cornerback the Lions drafted, Teez Tabor. WR Jalen Reagor, TCU TCU Horned Frogs wide receiver Jalen Reagor stiff-arms Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions defensive back Martevious Washington (23) during the first quarter at Amon G. Carter Stadium. (Photo: Kevin Jairaj, USA TODAY Sports) Like Henderson, I had Reagor going in the first round of my first mock draft, but the wide receiver position is so loaded this year that he could be available early in Round 2. Reagor is a big-time playmaker who would complement Kenny Golladay nicely with his deep speed. Marvin Jones has just one more year left on his contract, so the Lions need to plan for the future with a player who also can contribute at the position now. DT Ross Blacklock, TCUThere are two good interior defensive line prospects at the top of the draft in Brown and Kinlaw, and a couple above-average ones that could go late in the first round or early on Day 2, such as Blacklock. Blacklock missed the 2018 season with a torn Achilles, but he rebounded with a strong showing in 2019. He can play all over the defensive line, which means he'll interest the Lions. OL Cesar Ruiz, MichiganWhy not replace one ex-Michigan interior lineman (Graham Glasgow) with another? Glasgow is likely headed elsewhere in free agency as the Lions don't seem to want to pay market price to keep him around. Ruiz was rated the top pass-blocking center in college football by Pro Football Focus, and his versatility to play guard and center could interest the Lions. Wisconsin's Tyler Biadasz would be another interior line possibility. More on the draft: Why I have Detroit Lions taking Ohio State's Jeff Okudah in 2020 NFL draft Kerryon Johnson 'all for' Detroit Lions taking Auburn DT Derrick Brown in 2020 NFL draft DE Bradlee Anae, UtahAnae crushed the Senior Bowl, and did it while playing for Lions coach Matt Patricia on the North team. He had three sacks and was praised by Patricia for having "a great gift" to rush the passer. Anae graduated as Utah's all-time sack leader and would immediately help the Lions generate more pressure on quarterbacks, something they struggled with last season. LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin Nov 17, 2018; West Lafayette, IN, USA; Purdue tackle Eric Swingler (60) blocks against Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Zach Baun (56) in the first half at Ross-Ade Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy called Baun one of college football's best dual-threat linebackers last season, equally adept rushing the passer and dropping into coverage. He'd fill Devon Kennard's role on the Lions, though Kennard has one year left on his contract. RB J.K. Dobbins, Ohio StateThe Lions are a good running game away from having one of the deadliest offenses in the NFL. Kerryon Johnson has looked good at times, but injuries are an issue. Bo Scarbrough ran hard in the second half of the year, but is considered one-dimensional. Dobbins is an effective outside zone runner with good pass-catching skills who'd give the Lions a big-play threat in the backfield. OLB Terrell Lewis, AlabamaI debated whether to put Lewis on this list or not. On sheer talent, he belongs in the first round. If he goes lower, it'll be because of health concerns after he suffered season-ending elbow and knee injuries at Alabama. Lewis is one of the best-looking players in the draft with a monster frame and speed off the edge. He could play outside linebacker or defensive end, and, like Baun and Anae, he would immediately upgrade the Lions' pass rush. QB Jordan Love, Utah StateI don't see the Lions taking a quarterback high in the draft, and if they're going to pass on Tagovailoa at No. 3, it doesn't make sense to take a lesser passer with a still-important top-40 pick. But the Lions worked with Love at the Senior Bowl, where offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said he excelled at picking up the terminology. They do need to solidify their backup quarterback spot, so you can't rule Love out. CB Cameron Dantzler, Mississippi StateWe started this list off with a cornerback, and we'll end with one, too. The Lions need help at the position somewhere in the draft, and that need will be amplified if they trade Darius Slay. Dantzler has good size (6-2), excelled in the SEC and he played in college for Terrell Buckley, who spent two of his 14 NFL seasons playing for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.

Terrell Lewis said at the 2020 Senior Bowl he'd be a "top-5 pick" if he hadn't suffered an injury at Alabama. Detroit Free Press  |
| How many games will the New York Mets win in 2020? Posted: 16 Feb 2020 08:50 AM PST Jess Root, Sportsbook Wire Published 7:44 a.m. CT Feb. 16, 2020 The New York Mets finished 2019 going 86-76 in a competitive National League East, finishing third in the division. They made two managerial changes this offseason beginning with the dismissal of Mickey Callaway after two seasons. They initially hired Carlos Beltrán, but then his involvement with the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal as a player led to his dismissal before managing a single game. Now their manager is Luis Rojas, and the team looks forward to 2020. Today, we focus on the Mets' 2020 regular season win totals and World Series odds. Do the Mets have what it takes? Let's analyze: Mets' 2019 winsThe Mets had a good 2019 season, winning 86 games, but they played in a very competitive division. They ended up in third place in the division behind the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals. The Mets finished three games behind the final wild-card spot and likely would have been in the postseason had their closer not suffered a second-half meltdown. First baseman Pete Alonso was the star of the season, hitting 53 home runs. Mets offseasonNew York bolstered its pitching staff in the offseason, adding Michael Wacha and Rick Porcello but lost Zack Wheeler to the Philadelphia Phillies. They might have one of the deepest rotations in baseball. In the bullpen, they added four-time All-Star Dellin Betances. The closer job is still unsettled. They also added outfielder Jake Marisnick. The biggest change was at manager. Rojas is well respected in the game and has strong bloodlines, but this is his first managerial post in the majors. Baseball season is right around the corner! Get some action on this season with an MLB futures bet at BetMGM. Bet now! Mets' odds to win NL East divisionNew York, who finished third in 2019 in the NL East, has the second-longest odds to win the division. They are currently a +330, while the Braves are +190, the world-champion Washington Nationals are +250 and the Phillies are +310. Odds via BetMGM ; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Lines last updated at Sunday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Mets' World Series oddsThe Mets are given the 10th-best odds to win the World Series this year, at +2000. The clear favorites are the New York Yankees at +350, the Los Angeles Dodgers at +400 and Houston Astros at +550. How many games will the Mets win in 2020?The Mets' win total is set at 86.5 wins. They won 86 games in 2019. They have a first-year manager and largely the same starting lineup. They bolstered the bullpen and added depth to the pitching staff. However, they should have won more games, as they had problems closing games. They still play in a very competitive division. Because of that, they will be close, but the best bet is to go with the UNDER (-110). Want some action on the MLB season or other sports? Place a bet at BetMGM now.

Full results & highlights from All-Star weekend Posted: 16 Feb 2020 08:41 AM PST  © Provided by Sporting News The 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest featured several 50s and a controversial ending. Finalists Aaron Gordon and Derrick Jones Jr. went back and forth through two rounds Saturday night, and matching scores forced the leapers into a dunk-off.

| 2020 NBA All-Star Game: How to watch, Kobe Bryant tributes, format changes Posted: 16 Feb 2020 03:53 AM PST What I'm Hearing: USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt was in attendance for Adam Silver's annual All-Star address and he highlights the major talking points. USA TODAY CHICAGO -- The 69th annual NBA All-Star Game is Sunday night and all eyes will be on Team LeBron, Team Giannis and how the league pays its respects to Kobe Bryant. Team captains LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks drafted their teams from a pool of players voted into the game by fans, media and players or selected as reserves by the NBA's coaches. There are plenty of marquee names to keep fans glued to the action, but there are some notable absences, including Stephen Curry (broken hand), Kyrie Irving (knee) and Kevin Durant (Achilles). Damian Lillard was voted onto the team, but pulled out because of a strained groin. Devin Booker will take his spot. Tickets are in high demand and are the priciest in a decade. Here's what you need to know: How to watchSunday: 8 p.m. ET (TNT) Where: United Center, Chicago New wrinklesThe NBA announced changes to the format for this year's game. Every quarter will be treated as a mini-game for charity. An untimed fourth quarter, with a final target score, will determine the winner.  Lebron James greets fans during introductions at media day in Chicago's Wintrust Arena. (Photo: Quinn Harris, USA TODAY Sports) Kobe tributesThere have been reminders of four-time All-Star Game MVP Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash Jan. 26, everywhere this weekend. Sunday's game will be no different. Commissioner Adam Silver announced Saturday that the game's MVP award would be renamed the Kobe Bryant MVP Award. There also are some special touches planned before and during the game to honor Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and the seven friends aboard who also died. The NBA has not announced its entire plan, but here's what we know: â–ºTeam LeBron will wear No. 2 in honor of Gianna and Team Giannis will wear No. 24 in honor of Kobe. â–ºGrammy winner Jennifer Hudson, a Chicago native, will perform a tribute to the victims of the crash before player introductions. Others slated to appear include Grammy winner Chaka Khan (national anthem), country musician Tenille Arts (Canadian national anthem) and Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled and Quavo (halftime show). â–ºExpect a tribute video, with highlights from Bryant's 18 All-Star appearances. â–ºThe target score - a new wrinkle in the fourth quarter - will be determined by the total points the team in the lead scored over the first three quarters, plus 24 -- the jersey number Bryant wore for the final decade of his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

| Silver: NBA, USA Basketball still may play in China in 2020 Posted: 15 Feb 2020 06:52 PM PST CHICAGO (AP) â€" The NBA and USA Basketball are still considering playing in China later this year, though the complexities of both the political rift caused by a tweet last fall and the ongoing health concerns in the world’s most populous country are making those plans seem decidedly uncertain. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the discussions in both cases â€" pre-Olympic games for USA Basketball and the preseason games for the NBA â€" are ongoing, and said the decisions are not necessarily linked. It’s possible the U.S. may play there this summer and the NBA does not send teams this fall, Silver said. “Those are issues that haven’t been decided yet,†Silver said Saturday night at his annual All-Star weekend news conference. Things are not back to normal for the league when it comes to relations with China. The strain started Oct. 4, when Houston general manager Daryl Morey tweeted an image that read “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong,†referencing several months of pro-democracy demonstrations in the semiautonomous Chinese territory. The tweet wasn’t up for long. The fallout was massive and continues. A pair of preseason games between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers in China were played days after Morey’s tweet, though without the support of several sponsors and with both teams playing in silence â€" none of the customary pre- and post-game media availabilities were held. The Chinese Basketball Association suspended its relationship with the Rockets, Chinese media giant Tencent and Chinese state television pulled some NBA broadcasts and Silver said the NBA quickly began experiencing significant financial losses. Silver said it’s possible the NBA could lose as much as $400 million in revenue this year because of hits to the China market. “Our games have not returned to CCTV, the government broadcaster,†Silver said. “My sense is they will at some point in the future. We are not pressing them. It’s a decision that is outside of certainly our control and I’m often not even sure where that decision lies.†The NBA and Chinese officials have been talking, or at least were talking until much of the Chinese resources were redirected toward dealing with COVID-19, a disease stemming from a new form of coronavirus. Basketball, understandably, has been pushed aside while the Chinese deal with a massive crisis. “This game of basketball is a huge game, and I've been blessed and fortunate enough to travel to China a number of times,†All-Star Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who also is president of the National Basketball Players Association, said on Saturday. “A friend of mine, Pooh Jeter, plays over in China, and I actually wrote ‘Wuhan’ on my shoes the other night in a game in New Orleans. (But) this isn't just a Wuhan problem. It's an everyone problem.†Wuhan is the city at the center of the outbreak. China’s government suspended most access to Wuhan on Jan. 23. Restrictions have expanded to cities with a total of 60 million people in the broadest anti-disease measures ever imposed. Restaurants, shops and other businesses nationwide were ordered to close. Through Friday, China reported a total of 66,492 cases of the virus, officially saying it was responsible for 1,523 deaths. Japan -- which will play host to this summer’s Tokyo Olympics -- reported about 259 cases through Friday, with one death. International competitions in at least 14 different sports have been affected by the virus and the resultant concerns. Tokyo Olympic organizers and the International Olympic Committee have insisted that there are no plans to cancel or relocate the games. “It’s impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take,†said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization. It also makes it impossible to predict when matters between the NBA and China return to normal. In other matters Silver addressed Saturday: KOBE AWARD The NBA is immediately renaming the All-Star MVP trophy in honor of Kobe Bryant, the 18-time All-Star who â€" along with his daughter Gianna and seven others â€" died in a helicopter crash in Southern California last month. All-Star weekend has taken on a somber tone this year, largely because of multiple tributes for Bryant and NBA Commissioner Emeritus David Stern, who died Jan. 1. “I know it will be especially meaningful to that player that wins the first Kobe Bryant MVP,†Silver said. “So I'm sure there will be other honors as well, and as I mentioned, there are other things that we will be discussing with our board, the NBA board, when they meet in April to honor David. But this one seems so appropriate here at All-Star because nobody embodied All-Star more than Kobe Bryant.†SCHEDULE CHANGES Silver said he remains optimistic that schedule changes he has wanted â€" including an in-season tournament â€" are viable possibilities. The NBA was targeting adding such a tournament in 2021-22, the league’s 75th anniversary year. But plans for an April vote on such a change were tabled weeks ago, and the timetable is uncertain. “I may have been a little naive in thinking that for the 75th anniversary, we could say let's make all these changes,†Silver said. “We'll sort of see what happens in the 75th anniversary, and we'll go from there.†All-Stars polled by The Associated Press earlier Saturday about the potential of schedule changes were largely supportive of the notion, though the majority also said they do not know enough about the plans to have a strong opinion. “I don’t know. I mean our season is already long,†said Portland guard Damian Lillard, who is missing the All-Star Game with an injury. “I think if we’re playing for something that would count, I can see it being OK, but there’s a price for everything.†___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Copyright 2020 The Associated Press.
