The All-Star small forward and his current team have to make some tough decisions this offseason — and they may not be entirely in their hands. George signed a five-year, $91 million contract in 2013, but he has a player option available after the 2018 season that would allow him to test the free-agent waters. It’s highly unlikely George takes that $20.7 million option, and that’s why the announcement of this year’s All-NBA teams means so much for the franchise....

“It is kind of like you are watching the game at a bar and me and Eli show up and watch the game with you,” Manning said, per ProFootballTalk. “[That] is kind of the theme. We are not going to be in a booth. With my forehead and my neck, I couldn’t fit in a booth. I can fit on my couch at home and Eli can be on his couch....

The warring brothers will see each other in person for the first time since Meghan Markle told Oprah Winfrey an unnamed royal made racist remarks about her unborn child’s skin tone. While the identity of the mystery family member is unknown, the Duke of Cambridge publicly denied they were a racist family in the days afterwards. Some commentators had hoped the somber event of their grandfather’s funeral might be an opportunity for the brothers to heal their damaged relationship....

In the interview, Reckoning, formerly known as Mia Yim on NXT, talks about “decontaminating the women’s division, which is being reigned on by a dancing clown for far too long…in Asuka.” Coincidently, Asuka was not on this week’s RAW and her reaction to this apparent challenge hasn’t been reported as of now. Regardless, this fresh challenge would certainly benefit Reckoning, and more importantly, RETRIBUTION. How Reckoning’s challenge can help RETRIBUTION Ever since their debut in August 2020 as a masked group of attackers out to wreak havoc and avenge for all the injustices that WWE has caused over the years, RETRIBUTION has been heavily criticized for its presentation and even the names of its members, by fans and backstage members alike....

While both the new games were mostly well-received from critics and fans for bringing the focus back to horror and inventory management, they also left many players wanting their favorite characters to return. Fortunately, some of them did return in the acclaimed remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, and they brought the classic third-person perspective along with them. With the upcoming Resident Evil Village DLC Shadows of Rose and the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4 both featuring a third-person camera and gunplay, a case can be made for Resident Evil staying third-person after these next two entries....

That all changed this week however when Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert revealed that his development studio Terrible Toybox has been secretly making a new Monkey Island for two years.

But if that’s so, why does the company refuse to address this issue? One word: Google. Although Samsung and Google have the same objective of beating Apple, the two companies have a long history of rivalry. Here’s why Samsung doesn’t want you to use Google apps. Why Samsung and Google Need Each Other Samsung and Google have a symbiotic relationship. On one hand, Google needs Samsung since it’s the world’s largest Android phone manufacturer, and thus, also the largest supplier of Google services....

Privacy continues to be a driving force in the tech industry. While big tech companies like Apple and Google continue to offer new features, social media sites like Twitter are taking a turn, too. The latter is working on more privacy-focused features and options for users, though experts say you never should post anything on social media that you aren’t comfortable with being shared. Even with privacy features, almost anything you post can be shared in some way, making it available to anyone online....

The company has patented technology that lets it monitor your voice and suggest tunes based on your “emotional state, gender, age, or accent.” The patent granted last month lets Spotify “make observations” about a user’s environment and emotions using speech recognition technology. Some experts say gathering information on users’ moods is a privacy risk. “Our identities are becoming more and more visual, and any personal or sensitive information that is stolen from a user can have devastating results for an individual,” Mikaela Pisani, senior data scientist at software company Rootstrap, said in an email interview....

Curry has used a mouthguard for the entirety of his NBA career, and the decision to wear one dates back to his college days. The mouthpiece wouldn’t be overly noticeable if Curry wore it normally. However, he is constantly chewing on it during games and especially enjoys gnawing on it at the free-throw line. He tends to push it to one side of his mouth while shooting from the charity stripe....

Very late and a bit tentatively, someone has finally done something drastic. In December the European Union and Norway, which jointly manage the North Sea, announced a 40 percent cut in the catch quota for cod, along with similar cuts for other endangered fish. And starting next week about a fifth of the North Sea–a swath stretching from Scotland to the Netherlands–will be closed to bottom trawling for 12 weeks, to give the bottom-dwelling cod a chance to spawn....

The Jets aren’t doing this to disrespect the rookie. Instead, they are motivating him to earn the nickname. Veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley explained that “pretty much” everyone in the New York locker room is in on the plan. “He’s Ahmad until the season starts and he makes a play,” Mosley said, per the New York Post. “Ahmad it is.” MORE: How Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner got his nickname This is nothing new for Gardner....

While Polus and MIRA HQ both have their advantages, The Skeld remains the best designed and balanced map currently available in Among Us.

Before going into what The Skeld does right, it can help to know what Polus and MIRA HQ do wrong first....

This time around, fans wouldn’t even have to wait for a week or two to dive into transfer speculations. The transfer window might be already active as the remainder of the football season gets completed. In such a scenario, clubs across various European leagues would have to deal with a tricky situation ahead. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, clubs have already lost a few hundred thousand bucks due to no live football....

But it’s crucial to put this news into context. Back in 2007, housing prices began to plummet. Banks and other lenders had made several fortunes writing the mortgages that had allowed prices to bubble up, and now the bubble was bursting. Banks had packaged these loans into Mortgage Backed Securities that promised high return with minimal risk, but the banks had held onto the riskiest of these MBSs and now were threatened with huge losses....

While golf carts are part of the game for buddies looking for a casual day of golfs, it’s not an accident you don’t see golf carts during PGA Tour events. They aren’t prohibited, but they aren’t encouraged by any means. In fact, for those who are able, walking the course is a requirement. According to “For The Win,” it was a hard requirement until 2001.

Generation Z has turned the Hamilton-creator into something of a viral joke—and it’s mostly down to his cringe-inducing lip-biting selfies. TikTok teens have mercilessly targeted the 40-year-old in what can only be described as a modern social media phenomenon. According to Insider, the lip-biting meme is spawned from a tweet that Miranda posted back in December 2018. The picture did the rounds on Twitter before moving over to TikTok and the (lip) biting teen humor....

As it turned out, Neeson drastically underestimated the movie’s chances of success. Not only did it avoid a straight-to-video release; it went on to become one of the year’s biggest hits at the box office. With a worldwide haul of over $200 million, Taken was financially successful enough to launch a blockbuster franchise with two sequels. RELATED: Liam Neeson Interested In Returning As Qui-Gon For Obi-Wan Show It’s understandable that Neeson initially expected Taken to be a forgettable casualty of the bargain bin....

Fans hoping that Mass Effect 4 might see the return of their other favorite companions like Garrus, Tali, Jack, Miranda and more may be disappointed, however.

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported on Wednesday that the Lions seem willing to trade up from No. 10 to secure the dynamic Clemson product. That would likely mean moving up to the top five, and maybe as high as No. 2 where the St. Louis Rams are picking.
