Well, kind of. Several of the NFL Draft’s top quarterback prospects won’t be in attendance in Cleveland for the 2021 NFL Draft, with Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields both sitting out — and at home — this year. Meaning, Lawrence and Fields, like the rest of us, will be watching from the comfort of their own homes (or draft setup). This year, just 13 players are attending the NFL Draft in Cleveland, which is still 13 more than we had in 2020 (coronavirus), with 58 players participating in the festivities overall....

Just like many fans are still holding out hope that Valve will one day move forward with Half-Life 3 or Portal 3, many are still keeping their fingers crossed for Left 4 Dead 3. Left 4 Dead 3 rumors have persisted over the years thanks to fake leaks and outdated information, but it seems as though the company is not moving forward with a new game in the co-op zombie-killing series....

“That’s totally different from playing in it,” Jackson said, per ESPN. Playing in it might be what’s next for Jackson, though, with his Ravens visiting the Bills for a Saturday night game in the NFL’s divisional round of the playoffs. January in Buffalo, New York is a snow-happy time of year, and forecasts for much of the week preceding the game suggest snow could both fall and accumulate Saturday night....

For weekly viewers, then, it’s been jarring to see Corso missing from the desk the past two weeks, which has featured Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, and Kirk Herbstreit. The show, which took place in Lawrence, Kans., this week, kicked off with the crew explaining why Corso wasn’t there again. Last week, Corso “woke up feeling under the weather,” according to Davis. That kept him out of the show, but the crew assured viewers he was feeling better....

Montgomery’s execution was scheduled to take place at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Tuesday. It would have been the U.S. government’s first execution of a woman in almost 70 years. But Judge Patrick Hanlon granted a stay late on Monday, citing the need for a hearing to determine Montgomery’s mental competence. Montgomery’s attorneys have said she suffers from serious mental illness after enduring years of sexual abuse throughout childhood....

Morata ideal replacement for Costa That the figure was massaged was unsurprising (the real number was closer to 36). What was shocking, though, was that Mourinho had claimed to have launched the careers of players such as Arjen Robben, Raphael and Casemiro, all of whom had made their professional debuts elsewhere. Robben had even been capped 10 times by Netherlands by the time he joined Chelsea in 2004. Of course, Mourinho has never been one to let the truth get in the way of a good story - and the yarn that he was trying to spin was that, contrary to all of the evidence, he has a good record with youngsters....

On Monday, Marlins infielder (soon to be outfielder) Jazz Chisholm was selected as the next cover athlete for the long-running, critically acclaimed baseball video game series. Chisholm became the 17th player to grace the box art, and the first Miami (or Florida) Marlin to make it to the front: Being picked as the cover athlete for a sports game is, unequivocally, one of the coolest honors that can be bestowed upon a pro athlete, whether it’s “The Show,” “Madden” or otherwise....

Mr. T has been considered for the Hall of Fame induction for last many years, but he never agreed. According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter this might be the year that we finally see him getting inducted into the Hall of Fame as he has verbally agreed for it. Those of you who are wondering why WWE want him so bad, should know what he has done in/for the company:...

While speaking in an interview with GameSpot, Fils-Aime opened up about Nintendo having “thought deeply” in regards to why the Wii U didn’t meet expectations. As it happens, the Big N’s head of its American branch concluded that the company realized that there were two main reasons for Wii U’s lackluster sales, and the firm intends on applying these lessons learned while moving forward with the launch of Nintendo Switch....

Mexico hardly thinks about Panama. But the same can’t be said in reverse. Many Panamanians consider El Tri the team’s biggest rival, even over other Central American nations, and there’s a real feeling of dislike from the Central American nation. Players haven’t held back ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifier in Mexico City. Center back Adolfo Machado, perhaps frustrated after he had to take a looping path to join up with the team because of Hurricane Harvey hitting his home side the Houston Dynamo, used an idiom to describe that Mexico thinks it’s God’s gift to soccer....

This is not to say that there won’t be an open world for players to explore in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. As shown in Nintendo’s lengthy “Jump into a Paldean Journey” trailer, the games will have their own open world, complete with an expansive map to explore. Compared to the locked areas of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, this certainly appears to be a step up. On the other hand, there are some potential limiting features that would mean a player’s experience isn’t quite as free as first thought....

My answer is, the American people, beginning with the voters in New Hampshire. Last year, I tried to draft Powell into running, but failed. In the first-in-the-nation primary, however, Republicans there gave none of the GOP contenders even 30 percent, while 37 percent told exit pollsters they would have voted for Powell. As Powell never set foot in New Hampshire, nor spent a nickel there, that was the important fact of the primary....

In 2017, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge opened up about the traumatic experience of losing their mother after the Paris car crash on August 31, 1997. The tragedy sent Britain into an occasion of public mourning never seen before or since, with a sea of floral tributes swamping the gates of Kensington Palace. However, the brothers’ private emotional reactions would not be divulged in full for another 20 years, when Harry and William gave a series of dramatic interviews, including a Newsweek exclusive with the Duke of Sussex....

Applied Behavioral Therapy, sometimes called ABA, uses rewards (sometimes called “reinforcements”) as a tool for building skills in children (and some adults) with autism. This approach can be very effective if the therapist chooses highly motivating rewards; the choice of reward, of course, varies from person to person. While some children with autism value toys or snacks, others value time with a favorite activity or TV show. Still others work hard for praise, hugs, and high fives....

Spot fixing is an event where a player or group of players are involved and not the entire team. Spot fixing has so far targeted players from one team and that’s Rajasthan Royals (RR). Three players are in jail and being interrogated. One Bollywood actor (or that’s what the media prefers to call him) is also being interrogated and one supposed team principal and team owner is suspected to be a part of not only spot fixing, but an even bigger crime – match fixing and betting (illegal in India, as on date)....

Starfield may have a huge world with many different NPCs for the player to meet, but there are good reasons that the game should also commit to a smaller cast of core characters if Bethesda wants to tell a memorable story in that game world. This would be a change of direction from some Bethesda games in the past, but it might be necessary if Starfield is going to stand out in its own right....

The Angels dropped the first game of a four-game series against the Red Sox on Monday 1-0, with Boston’s Michael Wacha throwing a complete-game shutout. After the loss, Maddon had a tense exchange with reporter Sam Blum. After Blum asked if the Angels were competing in a way Maddon wanted, Maddon repeatedly asserted that Blum said the Angels weren’t competing. Even after Blum was asked to move past the question by team PR staff, Maddon continued, saying “I am” when Blum said Maddon was asking him questions....

Although backpack space is fairly limited in The Division, the player’s stash - the inventory system that’s accessible from the base and any other safe house - isn’t much better. Massive Entertainment Community Manager Yannick Banchereau spoke up on Reddit, explaining that the team was aware that increasing the size of players’ stashes was one of the most requested features, but that the change wouldn’t be coming in The Division’s 1....

Usually, such rumors would be rejected at first glance. However, the last few years have shown that the big gaming companies are very interested in acquiring studios, even if it costs billions. After Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision and Bethesda, and Sony’s acquisition of Bungie, nothing seems impossible. Nevertheless, the rumors of Sony acquiring the Cyberpunk 2077 developer do not appear to be accurate, though such an acquisition would certainly have interesting implications for the gaming world....

Paytas has hosted the popular podcast with Ethan Klein since September 2020 for H3H3 Productions. Paytas, 33, explained their decision to depart the show in a video posted after a disagreement with their co-host on Monday’s episode. The YouTuber said that the H3H3 production crew were unhappy with Paytas’ behavior during the last episode and would pause work on the show for a week. Monday’s episode saw Paytas and Klein argue over arguing over the show’s production and alluded to a long-running disagreement over pay and creative control....
