Trump won a total of 2,279,543 votes in Michigan in 2016 compared with 2,268,839 that cast ballots for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The president carried the state with just 10,704 votes. His narrow victory in the Midwestern state came after former President Barack Obama carried the state in 2008 and 2012, as did Democratic candidates in every presidential election going back to 1992. Tracy Wimmer, director of media relations for Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, told Newsweek in an email that as of 2:30 p....

Not because the Wolverines fell to 5-6 with a 23-16 loss to Maryland on Saturday. Not because Rutgers and Maryland swept the Wolverines or the thousand reasons that is unacceptable. Not because of the thousand other unaceptable things that went wrong in Ann Arbor in 2014. MORE: Game control doesn’t apply to Buckeyes | Jerry Kill to Nebraska? | Florida’s State hidden key No, the Wolverines should play the Earle Bruce card and fire Hoke on Monday....

The Thorpe Award watch list was released Friday, and two Michigan State defensive backs – senior Kurtis Drummond and junior Trae Waynes – made the list. MORE: SN All-Americans | Maxwell | Outland | Nagurski | Bednarik Both are hoping to follow in the footsteps of teammate and 2013 Thorpe Award winner Darqueze Dennard – who went on to be a first-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. Here’s a look at the 39 defensive backs on this year’s watch list....

To this day, the 1979 title game remains the most watched college basketball game in sports history. While there won't be as many eyeballs on the Spartans and Wolverines tonight, it's still the weekend's marquee contest, with both in-state and conference bragging rights on the line. 

At 3 p.m. local time, the state reported their total infected at 9,334 cases, an increase of 1,719 over their Tuesday figure, which was 7,615.

Foley, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last year during a ceremony at Madison Square Garden the night before WrestleMania 29, took to social media Sunday night to rip the company over its misuse of WWE superstar Daniel Bryan. After a Royal Rumble pay-per-view in which Bryan was beaten by Bray Wyatt, Bryan was omitted from the 30-man Royal Rumble match. “Does @WWE actually hate their own audience?...

Mickelson finished group play in style at 3-0-0 on Friday with a 6&5 thumping of fellow American J.B. Holmes at Austin Country Club. Leishman also advanced to the knockout phase of the World Golf Championship event, but only barely, winning a three-way playoff with Englishman Lee Westwood and Pat Perez after they all finished with the same 2-1-0 record in their group. “(I’m) having a good week or so,” Australian Leishman, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last Sunday, told Golf Channel....

Mickelson has missed the cut in two of his past four Masters and the 47-year-old knows the clock is ticking ahead of Thursday’s opening round at Augusta. Do not think Mickelson has not looked at the calendar — he sees chances ahead to win his sixth major overall. If not this week, then maybe in July at the Open Championship. “These first two majors, especially, are great opportunities for me,” Mickelson – who has been grouped with Rickie Fowler and Matt Kuchar – told reporters on Tuesday....

Yet many believe the problem isn’t with ABC’s prime-time lineup but with Disney’s. The network’s woes are ammunition for angry shareholders who want to unseat Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Cable giant Comcast Corp., which in February made a bid for Disney, is telling Wall Street it can do a better job of running ABC. Eisner is wounded–stripped of his chairmanship last month–and Disney is promising shareholders an earnings jump of more than 40 percent this year....

James has been struggling with a knee injury over the past few months, an injury that occurred as part of a live event where she wrestled Carmella back in June and her initial prognosis stated that she could be looking at 7-9 months on the sidelines with a torn ACL, which would finish up her multi-year deal with WWE. James only returned to the company in January 2017 and it’s thought that she signed a three-year deal, that will expire next year....

This is according to Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast hosted by former IGN journalist Colin Moriarty, who said as much in the most recent episode. “I have it on good authority that Master Chief Collection was being talked about on PS4 years ago. Like, I have that on great authority,” he said. Halo is Microsoft’s flagship franchise, and it coming to the PS4 seems like a near-impossibility. However, there once was a time when The Master Chief Collection was never coming to PC either, but those plans changed and now there will be a Halo: The Master Chief Collection PC port....

It seems now Microsoft has had enough and Product Director Aaron Greenberg has decided to fire back. Not by insulting PlayStation’s product, but by simply stating that the Move isn’t even on the same level as Kinect. When speaking with CVG, Greenberg explained why the Kinect’s games are better than Move’s: Hard to argue, since Sony has already announced that it will be patching Move controls into Heavy Rain and the other launch titles seem to be focused more on bite-sized mini-games than full game experiences....

On Twitter, Frank X. Shaw, the communications lead at Microsoft, confirmed that there are now “more than” 10 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Shaw revealed the numbers as he was talking about Microsoft’s financials in Q3 of the financial year. He also said that Xbox has seen “record engagement” and that there are nearly 90 million monthly active Xbox Live subscribers. RELATED: PS5, Xbox Series X Games Could Be Cross-Gen for a While...

A solid rewards system that allowed Microsoft users to be charitable in the past, the company is returning the favor via this limited time event. Players have from now until January 26 to start racking up some Gamerscore, with the only pre-requisite being that the punch card is activated via the Microsoft Rewards app. Easy enough to find upon entering an Xbox console’s Microsoft Rewards area, filling out the punch card only requires that players collect achievements as they normally would....

And diluted earnings per share increased 34% at $2....

Much like the Modern Warfare 3 URL situation that occurred last year, which if you’ll remember pointed towards the official Battlefield 3 site before Activision stepped in and was awarded rights to the URL, Microsoft is turning to the National Arbitration Board for help in not just getting this website shut down for good, but turning it over to their hands. As the site is now suspended, clearly this move with the NAB has got the site’s original owner worried....

John Maldjian, 54, of Rumson, has been charged with reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and two counts of charges relating to violating the emergency orders following an incident on Saturday, April 4. Rumson Police received a call about a group of 30 adults aged around 40 to 50 years old who were gathering on the front lawn of a house on Blackpoint Road and watching a live performance. When police arrived at the scene, they found the crowd watching Maldjian and one other playing live acoustic versions of Pink Floyd songs, complete with microphones and amplifiers for their guitars....

Democrats-with Republican support-voted last week to extend more than $5 billion worth of extra benefits to the long-term unemployed. Bush may sign the bill but not declare the budget emergency necessary to release the funds. Democrats argue that “emergency” exemptions were made for Kurdish refugees, so why not for U.S. workers? Most “tax relief” bills aim at working families with children. A measure sponsored by Sen. Albert Gore Jr. and Rep....

The Versiti Blood Center of Michigan is asking people to keep their appointments and arrange new donations. It is struggling to keep up with the demand from hospitals, which is expected to rise as the state’s stay-at-home orders are partially relaxed. According to America’s Blood Centers and the Red Cross, more than 4,000 blood drives have been canceled in the U.S. since March 16, resulting in some 130,000 fewer blood donations....
