“I was in the NFL when I was about 6 years old,” Talib said Tuesday as he reminisced about his daydreams, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I used to be Deion (Sanders). I used to be (Michael) Irvin. We used to write papers — I got in trouble one time, fourth grade … fifth grade, one of those grades. We had to write a little, one-page thing on what we were gonna be when we grow up, so I put, ‘I’m gonna be an NFL player....
As confirmed by Riot earlier this year, Arcane is all set to be released on the Netflix platform this fall. The latest teaser trailer subtly hinted at various new champions that will enter the animated series. So it’s pretty clear to fans that Arcane will not just stick to the sibling rivalry story between League of Legends champions Jinx and Vi but will feature some other “mysterious” characters as well....
Meteorologists have predicted the blast to target much of the U.S. in the days leading up to Christmas. The rush of much colder than normal air is expected to be accompanied by blizzard-like conditions that could halt holiday travel and bitter, gusty wind that could plummet wind chill temperatures to as high as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas. Northern Plains states like Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming have already been hit with subzero temperatures and are expected to endure the arctic blast the longest....
After that stylistic detour, fans might have expected Arctic Monkeys—Turner, drummer Matt Helders, bassist Nick O’Malley and guitarist Jamie Cook—to return to the earlier brash rock for their next album. But the band from Sheffield remains determined to evolve and defy expectations, as indicated by The Car, released October 21 via Domino Records. It’s a continuation of the trippy and elegant after-hours vibe mined on Tranquility Base, although the music—featuring strings and horns this time—sounds more loose, atmospheric and expansive....
This may shock some viewers, who have questioned the sustainability of the couple’s relationship due to Brandon’s parents. Julia, a Russian immigrant, just moved to America on the series. There, she planned to start a life with Brandon and marry him in 90 Days. Her bubble of relationship ideals burst quickly, though, when rules set by Brandon’s parents got in the way.

Well, the Boston Celtics have proven that sentiment to be dead wrong. In their first-round series against the Nets, the Celtics have outplayed and outclassed Brooklyn through three games. Boston’s versatile and hard-nosed defense has stifled Irving and clamped up Durant. And on offense, Brooklyn has no clue how to stop Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the rest of the Celtics. Brooklyn is now on the verge of being swept out of the playoffs as the Celtics are up 3-0 and hold all the momentum going into Game 4 on Tuesday....
UFC lightweight contender Islam Makhachev, another friend of Nurmagomedov, posted the video. In the clip, we can see the unbeaten champion in a video call with Ronaldo and his son, Cristiano Jr. In the video’s background, Makhachev, who is filming the moment, jokingly says to another friend: “Khabib is putting a serious team together.” Nurmagomedov is a long-time football fan and has interacted with the Portuguese legend before. Ronaldo also showed his admiration for Nurmagomedov when ‘The Eagle’ made his last UFC performance before retiring....
And we can expect those numbers to increase by massive margins over the next few months and years. New games like Hearthstone give players a new way to test their gaming mettle whilst old favorite League of Legends does its bit to get new players involved and the millions of dollars that Dota 2 offers in eSports prize money remain an ever dangling carrot. Surprisingly, eSports could even be boosted by educational institutions....
At 3-5, the reigning Super Bowl champions now have an uphill battle just to return to the playoffs coming out of Week 9. Sean McVay’s team had hoped to play better offense after a much-needed Week 7 bye, but a lopsided 31-14 loss to the 49ers was followed by 16-13 heartbreak against the Buccaneers. The Rams are now averaging only 16.4 points per game. They averaged 27.1 points last season....
Meetings are underway to mobilize Argentines from across Spain and other European countries for the second leg of the twice-postponed final on Dec. 9 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Madrid was given the second leg between the Argentine archrivals on Thursday after fan violence caused the match scheduled for last weekend to be put off twice. River Plate fans attacked the Boca Juniors team bus with rocks, bottles, and wood en route to River’s stadium in Buenos Aires on Saturday and injured several Boca players....
City Councilman Guy Phillips took the stage and put on a black mask, Arizona Republic reported. He then pulled it off. “I can’t breathe,” Phillips said as the crowd cheered. More than 150 protesters gathered in front of the city hall in Scottsdale, Arizona, for about an hour to speak out against orders passed last week by both the city and Maricopa County mandating that face coverings be worn in most public areas....
During a press conference, New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Special Operations Harry J. Wedin said that while officers were attempting to speak with the man, he told officers that “he had some papers that he wanted to deliver to the UN.” “Based on statements he made, we knew early on that this did not appear to be terror related,” Wedin said. “The dialogue went back and forth about how we might be able to accommodate his request and bring the incident to a peaceful conclusion....
With just three wins and 10 defeats from 14 games, the newly-promoted Blues are just a point off safety. They started the new year with a slender 1-0 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach. Berlin, meanwhile, are oozing confidence after getting their year off to a fine start, thumping bottom-side Schalke 3-0 at home. The victory brought them up to 12th in the standings, and they will be pushing to climb further with another victory....
By offering these ideas to Moscow now, sources say, President Clinton hopes to jump-start formal negotiations after Russia’s March presidential election. The administration’s proposed ABM-treaty amendments are minimal, allowing only bare-bones defenses against North Korean missiles. Clinton, sources say, has decided to leave to his successor the problem of negotiating the more extensive defenses needed against Iran and Iraq. On START III, the administration is sticking to the 2,500 strategic-weapons cap Clinton and Boris Yeltsin agreed to in the mid-1990s....
When ARMS launches on June 16, the game will feature a roster of 10 different fighters (and their alternative colors) for players to choose from. While it’s unclear how many will be released after the game’s launch - or when - any kind of free content is ultimately a win for gamers. In addition to the future free roster characters, Nintendo will be also release both new stages and new arms for the fighters to equip....
Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins says he thinks Lance Armstrong’s doping confession is catastrophic but will serve to make the sport cleaner in the future. Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the Tour de France himself, was stripped of his titles after the International Cycling Union accepted a United States Anti-Doping Agency report that he had doped when winning his seven Tours between 1999 and 2005. The American then confessed that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with TV host Oprah Winfrey....
“They are really, really good,” Monken said. “They’re playing real confident right now.” Monken, a self-described glutton for punishment, stayed up until the wee hours last Saturday night to watch the Rainbow Warriors put on another show, rolling to their third straight victory of the young season, 43-29 over Rice, in Honolulu. Now, it’s Monken’s turn to try to ground the high-flying Rainbow Warriors, who received votes this week in the AP Top 25....
