Why Richard Sherman Joined Amazon S Nfl Broadcast Despite Hatred Of Poopfest Thursday Night Football Games

Six years ago, while Sherman was still in his prime as a cornerback with the Seahawks, he had a reputation for speaking his mind about all things NFL — from “mediocre” opponents to player safety issues. Among the things Sherman addressed was the concept of “Thursday Night Football,” something he referred to as a “poopfest” in The Players’ Tribune. Yes, actually. Six years later, Sherman is a member of the NFL on Prime’s studio crew, joining host Charissa Thompson and three other former NFL players: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tony Gonzalez and Andrew Whitworth....

Why Starfield S New Atlantis Is Foreboding

While each location from Starfield’s city reveals will undoubtedly have its own struggles and unique communities, as many other Bethesda games are known for their deep universes, New Atlantis brings up particular concerns. The location’s name doesn’t leave a lot to the imagination. It draws on the Atlantis of ancient myth, worrying some fans that the peaceful adventuring set up in Starfield’s reveal trailer will just result in players having their expectations side-stepped in favor of something darker that’s rooted in conflict....

Why The Internet Is Feeling Sorry For A Robot Screaming And Panic

Five years after it was made, the robot is evoking questions about just how much we should be humanizing AI, and at what point does it become dangerous? Videos of Chinese artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu’s 2016 art installation “Can’t Help Myself” have been going viral online, five years after the Guggenheim commissioned the work. The installation features an industrial robot with a visual-recognition sensor, programmed to shovel liquid that spills from it back to the center automatically....

Why The Ipl Should Adopt A Bonus Point System

An important factor in deciding the top four in the points table is the net run rate. It comes into picture when there is a tie between multiple teams in terms of the number of points. Some notable instances of this have been seen in the past, where calculations were convoluted and some teams felt hard done by, due to just one or two big losses in the tournament....

Why The Republican National Convention Could Be In Big Trouble

At least a half-dozen prominent GOP lawmakers plan to skip the Republican National Convention next month. Even more are on the fence. And officials are grappling with whether and how to attend a meeting with thousands of people in the coronavirus pandemic hotspot of Jacksonville, Florida. And then, there’s the heat and hurricanes that could spoil potential plans to feature the event outside. “I’m concerned about parking. There’s not a lot of places to park in downtown,” quipped Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla....

Why The Saints Benched Trevor Siemian For Taysom Hill In Attempt To Jumpstart Struggling Offense

With Jameis Winston out for the year with an ACL injury, the Saints turned to Trevor Siemian to start instead of Taysom Hill in the wake of the injury. Siemian, the journeyman NFL starter-turned-backup, went 0-4 in four starts, throwing nine touchdowns to three interceptions (57.2 completion rate). But Sean Payton and the Saints apparently weren’t too satisfied with Siemian’s production as starter, leading to Hill once again starting for the Saints on “Thursday Night Football....

Why This Nba Finals Is A Little Bit Personal For Lakers Lebron James Heat S Pat Riley

Those were the words of Dwyane Wade when asked by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith about the possibility of LeBron James’ Lakers meeting Pat Riley’s Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals. The former Miami superstar attempted to downplay any sort of rivalry because Riley is the Heat’s president, not their small forward. As Riley has often said, “Keep the main thing the main thing,” and that’s basketball. MORE: Predictions, picks, schedule for 2020 NBA Finals...

Why Trump Is Both Right And Wrong About U.S. Coronavirus Testing Numbers

Posting on social media last night, the commander-in-chief was trying to explain away the high number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in America, claiming that the “advanced” nature of U.S. coronavirus testing inflated the country’s case numbers. “Our Coronavirus testing is so much greater (25 million tests) and so much more advanced, that it makes us look like we have more cases, especially proportionally, than other countries,” Trump tweeted. “My message on that is very clear!...

From the Sound section, head to Audio Output and then toggle Home Screen Music off under the “General” tab. You may also deactivate your home screen’s sound effects in this subsection as well.

Why Lana Wachowski Cut Hugo Weaving From The Matrix 4

Filming on The Matrix 4 resumed in August following a five-month hiatus prompted by Warner Bros.’ decision to shut down production as part of the global effort to contain COVID-19. The newest chapter of The Matrix story will see Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise their respective roles as Neo and Trinity along with Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe and Lambert Wilson as The Merovingian. While director Lana Wachowski, who co-wrote the script with Aleksander Hemon and David Mitchell, had contacted Hugo Weaving about returning to the franchise as well, scheduling conflicts eventually led to Agent Smith being cut from The Matrix 4 before production started....

Why Madonna Is The Villain Of Weird Al Yankovic Biopic

Wood’s stellar acting chops are on full display in the forthcoming biopic, which also stars Daniel Radcliffe as the titular polka-loving accordion wiz. She recently opened up to Newsweek about her time emulating Madonna, the film’s “villain.” “I mean, I’ve been a Madonna fan since I was very small. The Immaculate Collection was like one of the first…CDs that I had; my mom used to play it all the time,” she said....

Why Manchester United Should Have Bought Ozil And Not Fellaini

Mesut Ozil, a brilliant and a creative attacking midfielder bought by Arsenal for a club record fee of £42.5 million, was exactly the kind of a player United are thoroughly lacking. Their bids for Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas also ended in failure. While the Spaniard continued to live his life in La Liga, United’s boss, David Moyes, made a surprising decision to snap up Fellaini (£27.5 million) and has a totally different approach compared to United’s perspective, as well as their style of play....

Why Netflix Should Bring Back Hannibal

While Hannibal ended its impressive run after its third season, it didn’t exactly wrap everything up. It’s possible that the titular character died, but considering his resilience in staying alive up to that point, the vague circumstances of the season’s ending leaves a lot to fans’ imagination. If a Dexter revival is able to happen, then Hannibal should be next to receive a televised resurrection. RELATED: Mads Mikkelsen Reveals Why Joining Fantastic Beasts 3 Will be ‘Tricky’...

Why Nintendo Should Bring Gamecube Games To The Switch

Granted that is a stretch, since Super Mario Sunshine is running via proprietary emulation rather than a native port, but that doesn’t bar additional emulated games. Even if the GameCube wasn’t necessarily Nintendo’s most successful console, there’s still a wealth of games from that era of Nintendo that could see new life on Switch. Some of the best Metroid, Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros., and The Legend of Zelda games came from the GameCube, many of which still hold great acclaim to this day....

Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Play Sekiro Shadows Die Twice

The studio is currently hard at work on making, what is its most anticipated game of all time, Elden Ring, and while it’s still a few months away from releasing, veteran FromSoftware fans could utilize this time period to replay older FS titles. While Elden Ring is a natural evolution of Dark Souls, and many would presumably dive into those games or Bloodborne first to prepare for Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a much better option for several reasons....

Why Obsidian S New Vegas 2 Could Save Fallout S Setting

Whether or not this manifests as a direct sequel to Fallout: New Vegas or merely another chance to work within the setting for the Obsidian developers, many of whom helped establish the Fallout franchise’s famous feel while working at Black Isle Studios, is not the most important thing when it comes to reviving the franchise. Obsidian understands one key aspect of the Fallout setting that was lacking in Bethesda’s recent installments and which, if properly revived, could in turn rejuvenate the series and get it back on top as the king of post-apocalyptic satire....

Why Overwatch 2 Fans Are Worried Over The Latest Genji News

Overwatch 2 fans quickly ran with this news, as quite a bit of insight can be gained by reading into Space’s comments. While there are a few big possibilities for this lack of recording, all the potential outcomes are negative. As such, it would be reasonable to expect some bad news about the Genji character, or more likely, the state of Overwatch 2 as a whole. While nothing is confirmed and this could all just be part of an actor’s attempt at playing coy regarding a big project, Space’s comments certainly seem genuine — and here is what they could mean for the state of Overwatch 2....
