Israel
Chess is a leading sport in Israel and is enjoyed by people of all ages . There are many Israeli grandmasters and Israeli chess players have won a number of youth world championships . Israel stages an annual international championship and hosted the World Team Chess Championship in 2005 . The Ministry of Education and the World Chess Federation agreed upon a project of teaching chess within Israeli schools , and it has been introduced into the curriculum of some schools . The city of Beersheba has become a national chess center , with the game being taught in the city 's kindergartens . Owing partly to Soviet immigration , it is home to the largest number of chess grandmasters of any city in the world . The Israeli chess team won the silver medal at the 2008 Chess Olympiad and the bronze , coming in third among 148 teams , at the 2010 Olympiad . Israeli grandmaster Boris Gelfand won the Chess World Cup 2009 and the 2011 Candidates Tournament for the right to challenge the world champion . He only lost the World Chess Championship 2012 to reigning world champion Anand after a speed - chess tie breaker .
2018 Formula One World Championship
Following criticisms over the aesthetic value of the device , the FIA revealed plans to allow teams some design freedom in the final version of the halo , with the teams permitted to attach a thin single - plane wing atop the halo to control airflow over the top of the car and into the airbox to assist with engine cooling . Where the test models of the halo had been attached to an existing monocoque structure , teams were required to incorporate the final build of the halo into the chassis design from its inception rather than attached once the design was completed . The minimum weight of the chassis was raised to 734 kg ( 1,618.2 lb ) , in order to accommodate the additional weight of the halo . The mandatory crash tests that each chassis must pass were adjusted to include a new static load test . In order to simulate a serious accident , a tyre was mounted to a hydraulic ram and fired at the crash structure ; to pass the test , the chassis and the mounting points for the halo had to remain intact . In order to prevent teams from exploiting the halo for aerodynamic gain and potentially compromising its purpose , the FIA banned teams from developing their own devices and instead required them to purchase pre-fabricated models from approved suppliers . The technical regulations were updated mid-season to allow teams to mount rear view mirrors to the halo instead of affixing them to the bodywork . The changes were introduced in response to criticism that the halo obstructed the driver 's view of the mirrors ; however , halo - mounted designs were also criticised for allowing teams to exploit a loophole and introduce aerodynamic device , in the form of winglets above the mirrors , into an area where aerodynamic development was prohibited under the pretense of improving driver visibility , and the regulations were rewritten once more to ban the practice of mounting anything besides mirrors on the halo .
Logos and uniforms of the Pittsburgh Steelers
Although the stripes initially went all the way around the sleeves , since the 2000 season they now stop in the middle of the jersey ; this is due to football jerseys in general shortening the sleeves to reduce holding calls . As the sleeves continued to become shorter , and especially with the NFL 's changeover to Nike as their league - wide uniform provider in the 2012 season , the full stripe pattern is no longer worn by most players , as the stripes are truncated at the bottom of the wide gold stripe . One exception to this trend is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger , who , like a number of other starting quarterbacks , has continued to wear longer sleeves with the full striping pattern .
Los Angeles Chargers
In 1974 , the sky blue was changed to dark royal blue . The helmet was also changed to dark blue and the players ' numbers were removed . Additionally , the face masks became yellow , thus making them one of the first teams in the NFL ( with the Kansas City Chiefs ) to use a facemask color other than the then - predominant grey . From 1978 through 1983 , the Chargers wore their white jerseys at home , coinciding with the hiring of coach Don Coryell -- when Joe Gibbs , a Coryell assistant in 1979 -- 80 , became head coach of the Washington Redskins in 1981 , he did the same , and white at home became a Redskins staple through 2007 -- but Coryell switched the Chargers to their blue jerseys at home starting in 1984 . With the exception of the 1991 season and other sporadic home games since , San Diego wears its blue jerseys at home .
Apartheid
Vorster succeeded Verwoerd as Prime Minister in 1966 following his assassination , and declared that South Africa would no longer dictate to other countries what their teams should look like . Although this reopened the gate for international sporting meets , it did not signal the end of South Africa 's racist sporting policies . In 1968 , Vorster went against his policy by refusing to permit Basil D'Oliveira , a Coloured South African - born cricketer , to join the English cricket team on its tour to South Africa . Vorster said that the side had been chosen only to prove a point , and not on merit . `` Dolly '' was eventually included in the team as the first substitute , but the tour was cancelled . Protests against certain tours brought about the cancellation of a number of other visits , including that of an England rugby team touring South Africa in 1969 / 70 .
Congressional Baseball Game
In the early years of the game , each team wore a uniform that was either plain or had the words `` Republicans '' or `` Democrats '' embroidered on it . In modern games , members typically have worn uniforms of the professional baseball teams or college baseball teams in their congressional district or home state . In the 1920s , pomp and fanfare preceded each game . The United States Navy Band and United States Marine Corps Band traditionally kicked off the festivities with patriotic tunes . In 1926 , the Republicans paraded into American League Field on a live elephant , while in 1932 both teams had costumed mascots entertain the crowds . During the 1960s , the teams had cheerleaders dressed in uniforms .
Republic
In the ancient Near East , a number of cities of the Eastern Mediterranean achieved collective rule . Arwad has been cited as one of the earliest known examples of a republic , in which the people , rather than a monarch , are described as sovereign . The Israelite confederation of the era before the United Monarchy has also been considered a type of republic . In Africa the Axum Empire was organized as a confederation ruled similarly to a royal republic . Similarly the Igbo nation of what is now Nigeria .
2018 NBA Playoffs
This was the fourth meeting in the NBA Finals between these two teams , with the Warriors winning two of the first three meetings .
Los Angeles Chargers
Following Henning 's three - season stint with the Chargers , Bobby Ross was hired as the ninth head coach in 1992 . Additionally , the Chargers acquired quarterback Stan Humphries in a trade with the Washington Redskins . The Chargers would lose their first four games of the season and come back to become the first 0 -- 4 team to make the playoffs as they won 11 of the last 12 games and clinched the AFC West title . Ross was named NFL Coach of the Year for the Chargers ' dramatic turnaround by Pro Football Weekly . In the first round of the playoffs , the Chargers shut out the Chiefs 17 -- 0 , but the Dolphins shut out the Chargers in the divisional playoffs to eliminate the Chargers . In 1993 , the Chargers finished 8 -- 8 ( fourth in their division ) .
Jim E. Mora
Mora served as a color analyst for NBC in 1997 , and he replaced Lindy Infante as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts for 1998 . The team struggled to a 3 -- 13 mark in his first year with rookie Peyton Manning learning the ropes at quarterback , but had an amazing turnaround to 13 -- 3 in 1999 , thanks in large part to the addition of rookie running back Edgerrin James . At the time , this turnaround was the `` largest '' in NFL history . The Colts lost their first playoff game in the AFC Divisional Playoffs ( the team received a first - round bye to advance to the Divisional Playoffs ) to the Tennessee Titans , which dropped Mora 's all - time NFL postseason record to 0 -- 5 .
Seattle Seahawks
In the 2010 NFL season , the Seahawks made history by making it into the playoffs despite having a 7 -- 9 record . They had the best record in a division full of teams with losing seasons ( Seahawks 7 -- 9 , Rams 7 -- 9 , 49ers 6 -- 10 , Cardinals 5 -- 11 ) and won the decisive season finale against the Rams ( not only by overall record , but by division record , as both teams coming into the game had a 3 -- 2 division record ) . In the playoffs , the Seahawks won in their first game against the defending Super Bowl XLIV champs , the New Orleans Saints , 41 -- 36 . The Seahawks made even more history during the game with Marshawn Lynch 's 67 - yard run , breaking 7 or more tackles , to clinch the victory . After the run the fans reacted so loudly that a small earthquake ( a bit above 2 on the Richter Scale ) was recorded by seismic equipment around Seattle . The Seahawks lost to the Bears in their second game , 35 -- 24 . Marshawn
2018 NBA Playoffs
This was the second meeting in the playoffs between the two teams , with the Warriors winning the first meeting .
Jim E. Mora
As an NFL head coach , he was known for turning the Saints and the Colts , two consistently losing franchises , into perennial postseason contenders . However , his reputation was affected by his lack of success in the NFL playoffs and impassioned postgame tirades and press conferences , including his oft - quoted `` Coulda , Woulda , Shoulda , '' `` You Will Never Know , '' `` Diddly Poo , '' and `` Playoffs ? '' rants . In contrast to his league titles in the USFL , Mora never won a postseason NFL game . He holds the NFL record for career regular - season wins ( 125 ) without a playoff victory . His son Jim L. Mora is a former NFL head coach and former head coach at UCLA .
Los Angeles Chargers
In the 1981 playoffs , the Chargers outlasted the Miami Dolphins in the divisional round , 41 -- 38 , in a game that became known as The Epic in Miami . The game was voted as the best game in NFL history by a panel of ESPN journalists . The temperature was 85 ° F with high humidity ( 29.4 ° C ) at the Miami Orange Bowl , but it did not stop either team 's offense . The Chargers were led by quarterback Dan Fouts who made the Pro Bowl for the third year in a row , setting an NFL single - season record at that time of 4,802 yards and 33 touchdowns . The Dolphins were led by head coach Don Shula and featured a defense that gave up the fifth - fewest points in the NFL in the regular season .
Drew Bledsoe
The first overall pick in 1993 NFL Draft , Bledsoe helped improve the fortunes of the Patriots , who had fallen on hard times . Under his tenure as starting quarterback , the Patriots ended a seven - season postseason drought , qualified for the playoffs four times , and made one Super Bowl appearance . In his second season with the team , he was named to the 1995 Pro Bowl and was the youngest quarterback to appear in the NFL 's all - star game at the time .
Los Angeles Chargers
The 2010 season was the 1st season without LaDainian Tomlinson since 2000 ( Tomlinson was let go by management due to an oversized contract relative to production and other issues ; he went on to lead the Jets in rushing with 914 yards & tied for 3rd in receptions with 52 ) . The 2010 campaign started off slowly again , this time 2 -- 5 ( including losses to some of the worst teams in football at the time -- the Kansas City Chiefs , the Oakland Raiders , the Seattle Seahawks and the St. Louis Rams ) . The losses were due to turnovers & mental mistakes by young players on special teams allowing blocked punts & kick / punt return touchdowns . The loss to Oakland ended their 13 - game winning streak against the Raiders since their last loss on September 28 , 2003 . The Chargers then went on another second half run with four straight wins but this time instead of keeping the streak going the entire second half they had a big let down losing at home to the Raiders again , this time 28 -- 13 ( ending their shared NFL record , with the Dolphins , of 18 straight wins in December ) . Despite the loss , they still had a chance to win their 5th straight AFC West title , tying the Raiders , but they had another bad loss at the Bengals 34 -- 20 ending their chances . The Chargers beat Denver to end the season with a 9 -- 7 record & out of the playoffs for the first time since 2005 . They finished the season as the 8th team in NFL history to rank # 1 in overall offense ( 395.6 yards / game ) , and overall defense ( 271.6 yards / game ) , and became only the 2nd of those teams to not make the playoffs ( 1953 Eagles 7 -- 4 -- 1 ) . They were second to the Colts in passing yards per game ( 282.4 ) , second to the Patriots in points scored per game ( 27.6 ) , 1st in passing yards allowed per game ( 177.8 ) , 4th in rushing yards allowed per game ( 93.8 ) , and tied for 2nd in sacks ( 47 ) . On the negative stat sheet , they gave up the most punt return yards per game ( 18.9 ) & had 29 turnovers .
National Football League on television
Until 2014 when the highlights program Gameday Live was launched , the NFL Network during 1 : 00 p.m. regular season games and the playoffs merely featured a still screen with the data of ongoing games on - screen while Sirius XM NFL Radio played in the background with ' carousel ' score reports , with only highlights of game action from radio play - by - play heard occasionally .
2018 NBA Playoffs
In both Conference Finals series , the road teams won both Game 7s . In the other two instances in which both Conference Finals series went to a Game 7 , the home team won each Conference Finals Game 7 in the 1963 and 1979 Playoffs .
2018 NBA Playoffs
On March 7 , 2018 , the Toronto Raptors became the first team to clinch a playoff spot . On March 30 , 2018 , the Houston Rockets clinched the Western Conference ending a three - year run by the Golden State Warriors as the top seed . The Rockets clinched the best record in the NBA a day later on March 31 , 2018 . For the first time since the 1996 -- 97 NBA season , two teams played their last game against each other for the 8th and final spot in the playoffs . The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 112 -- 106 in overtime to clinch the final playoff seed in the West . This also ended Minnesota 's 13 - year drought without a playoff appearance having last played in 2003 -- 04 season . For the first time since the 2010 -- 11 NBA season , the Los Angeles Clippers would miss the postseason following a loss to the Denver Nuggets on April 7 , 2018 . This is the first time since 1960 that none of the teams from Los Angeles , New York , and Chicago made the playoffs .
Los Angeles Chargers
1979 marked a turning point for the Chargers franchise as The Sporting News named team general manager John Sanders NFL Executive of the Year after balloting of other NFL executives . Fouts set an NFL record with his fourth consecutive 300 - yard passing game , in a game in which he threw for 303 yards against the Raiders . Coached by Don Coryell and featuring Fouts throwing to tight end Kellen Winslow and wide receivers John Jefferson and Charlie Joiner , they clinched their first playoff berth in 14 years with a 35 -- 0 victory against the New Orleans Saints . On December 17 , the Chargers defeated the Denver Broncos 17 -- 7 for their first AFC West division title since the AFL -- NFL merger before a national Monday Night Football television audience and their home crowd . Their time in the playoffs was short as they would lose to the Houston Oilers 17 -- 14 in the divisional round . Ron Mix became the second AFL player and second Chargers player to be named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame , during halftime of the AFC - NFC Pro Bowl . 1980
History of the Houston Oilers
The Oilers briefly rose to become a league power once again in the first half of the 1990s . In 1991 , the Oilers won their first division title in 25 years , and their first as an NFL team . However , only two minutes away from their first conference title game in 13 years , they were the victims of an 80 - yard march by John Elway and the Denver Broncos before David Treadwell kicked a 28 - yard field goal to win the game 26 -- 24 . In 1992 , the Oilers compiled a 10 -- 6 regular season record , but made history against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Wild Card playoffs by blowing an NFL record 35 -- 3 lead and eventually losing 41 -- 38 in overtime , a game now known simply as `` The Comeback . ''
Ezekiel Elliott
In Week 15 , after scoring a touchdown against Tampa Bay , Elliott jumped into an oversized Salvation Army Red Kettle ; an unusual touchdown celebration . With that rushing touchdown , he surpassed Tony Dorsett and Herschel Walker for the Cowboys rookie record . He ran for 159 yards in the game . Since the Cowboys clinched the number one seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs , Elliott rushed for only 80 yards in Week 16 and did not play in Week 17 . He finished the season as the NFL 's top rusher with 1,631 yards and third with 15 touchdowns . Elliott 's 464 yards after contact ranked fourth among NFL running backs . As a result of his successful 2016 season , Elliott was selected as a First - team All - Pro , and earned his first Pro Bowl , joining Dak Prescott as the first rookie running back and quarterback duo in NFL history to be selected .
Nick Foles
Foles finished the 2013 regular season with 27 touchdown passes and only 2 interceptions , surpassing Tom Brady 's 2010 season posting of 36 / 4 for the best TD - INT ratio in NFL history , and a season leading 119.0 passer rating and third in NFL history trailing only to Aaron Rodgers ' 122.5 rating in 2011 and Peyton Manning 's 121.1 rating in 2004 . Foles led the Eagles to a playoff berth , the first since 2010 . Hosting the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs at Lincoln Financial Field , the Eagles lost on a last - minute field goal as the game ended at 26 -- 24 . Foles threw for 195 yards , two touchdowns , and no interceptions , for a passer rating of 105.0 , in his postseason debut . Foles was awarded the `` NFL Greatness on the Road '' award for his seven touchdown , perfect game performance against the Oakland Raiders during a road game in 2013 .
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
The championship is determined by a points system , with points being awarded according to finish placement and number of laps led . The season is divided into two segments . After the first 26 races , 16 drivers , selected primarily on the basis of wins during the first 26 races , are seeded based on their total number of wins . They compete in the last ten races , where the difference in points is greatly minimized . This is called the NASCAR playoffs .
Replay review in gridiron football
Despite the rules that a play can not be challenged if another play was run , it has happened on at least one occasion under the current rules . In 2001 , the Cleveland Browns were driving toward the east end zone of Cleveland Browns Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars for what would have been the winning score . A controversial call on fourth down gave the Jaguars the ball . Browns ' receiver Quincy Morgan had caught a pass for a first down on 4th and 1 . After Tim Couch spiked the ball on the next play , referee Terry McAulay reviewed Morgan 's catch , claiming that the replay officials had buzzed him before Couch spiked the ball . Upon reviewing the play , McAulay determined that Morgan never had control of the ball , thus the pass was incomplete , and the Jaguars were awarded the ball via turnover on downs . Fans in the Dawg Pound began throwing plastic beer bottles and other objects on the field , in an incident dubbed `` Bottlegate '' . McAulay declared the game over and sent the teams to the locker rooms . NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue then called to override the referee 's decision to end the game , sending the players back onto the field , where the Jaguars ran out the last seconds under a hail of debris . The loss would have major playoff implications for the Browns , who dropped to 6 - 7 , although the Browns would have still missed the playoffs had they won the game in any event .

Deion Sanders
Sanders also had a rushing TD in the playoffs ( against the Philadelphia Eagles in January 1996 ) . This makes him ( including post season ) one of only two players in NFL history ( Bill Dudley being the other ) to score a touchdown six different ways ( interception return , punt return , kickoff return , receiving , rushing , and a fumble recovery ) .
Kobe Bryant
The road to the Finals would prove a lot tougher than the record run the Lakers had the previous year . While the Lakers swept the Blazers and defeated the Spurs 4 -- 1 in the first two rounds of the playoffs , the Lakers did not have home court advantage against the Sacramento Kings . The series would stretch to 7 games , the first time this happened to the Lakers since the 2000 Western Conference Finals . However , the Lakers were able to beat their division rivals and make their third consecutive NBA Finals appearance . In the 2002 Finals against the New Jersey Nets , Bryant averaged 26.8 points , 51.4 % shooting , 5.8 rebounds , 5.3 assists per game , which included scoring a quarter of the teams points . At age 23 , Bryant became the youngest player to win three championships . Bryant 's play was notable and praised for his performance in the 4th quarter of games , specifically the last 2 rounds of the playoffs . This cemented Bryant 's reputation as a `` clutch player '' .
History of the Houston Oilers
The Oilers were the first champions of the American Football League , winning the 1960 and 1961 contests , but never again won another championship . The Oilers appeared in the 1962 AFL Championship , losing in double overtime to their in - state rivals , the Dallas Texans ; they also won the AFL East Division title in 1967 and qualified for the AFL Playoffs in 1969 , both times losing to the Oakland Raiders . From 1978 to 1980 , the Oilers , led by Bum Phillips and in the midst of the Luv Ya Blue campaign , appeared in the 1978 and 1979 AFC Championship Games ( but lost both ) . The Oilers were a consistent playoff team from 1987 to 1993 , an era that included both of the Oilers ' only division titles ( 1991 and 1993 ) , as well as the dubious distinction of being on the losing end of the largest comeback in NFL history . For the rest of the Oilers ' time in Houston , however , they were generally in the second division of the league , compiling losing seasons in almost every year outside the aforementioned high points .
