Even diehard Tom Clancy fans don’t seem all that excited about xDefiant. The two other upcoming free-to-play Tom Clancy games, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline and mobile game Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland, haven’t generated all that much buzz. Still, xDefiant in particular seems to have been overshadowed by other video announcements. The initial reaction to xDefiant reveals the disconnect between Ubisoft and its audience, which has become even more pronounced in the months since....

But, 2019, sadly, hasn’t been kind to the former NXT Champion. After a lackluster feud against his former tag team partner, Dolph Ziggler, McIntyre would feud against the re-formed Shield alongside Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley, a feud where McIntyre and his band of boys were essentially served as fodder to The Shield. The Scottish Psychopath would then move on to feud with Roman Reigns which culminated in a match between the duo at WrestleMania 35....

Thomas—who’s competing as a senior after the Ivy League establishment—won three events in Ohio earlier this month and swam the fastest time in the country in two of those races. Her performance has been criticized by some sports fans, as well as conservative commentators and even some of her competitors, who argue that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in cisgender categories of their choice, as it might create an uneven playing field....

The Premier League side, set to play Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League final on May 28, is one of the most well-known football clubs in the world, and its fans are world-renowned for their tradition of singing the famous song. The tune, and its message of support, unity, and camaraderie, are an emotional symbol of the club and its history. It became even more embedded within the fabric of Liverpool’s history after the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, and it’s also a reminder of those who perished in the tragedy....

It’s hard to understand at a glance why Ludwig has left Twitch, considering his vast success there. Ludwig had some 3 million followers on Twitch and managed to set a new record for most subscribers on Twitch during his infamous subathon. Nevertheless, Ludwig says he’s part of YouTube now, joining a slow but steady movement. While Ludwig has said that YouTube offered him a pretty lucrative deal, he also told his fans that the switch wasn’t about money....

On Monday, the network announced Malika Andrews — who served as a sideline reporter during the 2021 NBA Finals and 2020 NBA Bubble — will host a new show called “NBA Today” with Kendrick Perkins, Chiney Ogwumike, Vince Carter and Zach Lowe. The show will premiere Monday, Oct. 18, replacing “The Jump,” which was previously hosted by reporter Rachel Nichols. Andrews released a statement on Monday in accordance with her promotion:...

At midday, confirmation came that the club had hired their first football director. Among all the names that had been linked with the inaugural appointment, the man who took the job had not really been mentioned. John Murtough was a relative unknown to those outside of the walls of Old Trafford and Carrington. MORE: Manchester United appoints Rangnick as interim manager Google searches of his name went through the roof in the hours following his appointment....

In a worldwide survey, pregnant and postpartum women reported high levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and post-traumatic stress during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was published in the PLOS One journal in late April. “A lot of women had really significant distress, whether you think about it as PTSD, anxiety, depression, or loneliness,” study author Karestan Koenen, PhD, a professor of psychiatric epidemiology at the Harvard T....

Some of the fans want to understand the reason for Naruto’s surname being Uzumaki and not Namikaze. Both the manga and anime have deliberated on this topic and this article will offer some clarity with respect to the protagonist’s surname and the reason for choosing. Reason for Uzumaki being Naruto’s surname Naruto was born to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Those who have completed the series will know that the Uzumaki clan has been known for being the Jinchuriki for the nine tailed beast....

Today, Raptors forward Scottie Barnes takes the spotlight. Everyone should be excited to see what Scottie Barnes has in store for Year 2. The No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Barnes proved to be a special player in his rookie season. He ended up averaging 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while playing some incredibly pesky defense, all of which helped him earn Rookie of the Year honors over Evan Mobley....

Torino boss Mihajlovic, who gave the goalkeeper his Milan debut at the age of 16 in October 2015, believes San Siro is the best place for the in-demand shot stopper to develop. However, he does not feel Donnarumma, now 18, should be obliged to reject every approach he receives, especially if they are more lucrative and coming from bigger clubs. Buffon to Donnarumma: Do what makes you happy Donnarumma, also linked to Juventus, has been involved in a major off-season drama since rejecting an offer to extend his San Siro contract beyond 2018, the Serie A side claiming their proposal was worth €50 million over five years....

According to him, India would shoot itself on the foot, should it not choose to play against Pakistan. (Given Pakistan are allowed to feature) Otherwise, Rai wants the country to suffer from ‘cricket apartheid’, much like how South Africa were forced to undergo it. In case you didn’t know… The entire country of India has been baffled, shook and troubled in the wake of the infamous Pulwama bombing that costed the lives of over 40 CRPF soldiers....

In FiveThirtyEight’s polling average, Democrats currently lead in generic polling; that is which party voters plan to vote for in their own district. At the time I’m writing this, Democrats lead by a point. In Real Clear Politics’ average, which is calculated a bit differently, Republicans lead by under half-a-point. For contrast, in former President Barack Obama’s first term, when he took a self-described “shellacking” in the 2014 midterms, Republicans were up by over 2 points, on this date, in the RCP average....

And, yes, Sporting News is picking them to win it all in 2015. It’s not just because of “Back to the Future 2,” when the Cubs were a 100-1 shot, and Marty McFly got the idea to go back in time and bet on sports results for which he already knew the outcome. In reality, the Cubs are much better than a 100-1 shot. At 12-1, they are tied with the Tigers as the bettors’ fifth choice behind the Dodgers, Red Sox, Angels and Nationals....

The move felt sudden on a couple of levels. Foltynewicz is 28 and just two years removed from receiving Cy Young votes, meaning there is a reasonable chance of him pitching at a very high level again at some point. Even if he didn’t perform particularly well this season, he would have been an inexpensive option to bring back via arbitration for 2021. He also was given just one outing to prove himself this campaign....

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” King began. King then drilled down on the words he’d read. “This is a dream,” King said, describing the significance of those words. “It’s a great dream. The first saying we notice in this dream is an amazing universalism....

The M2 MacBook Air is Apple’s first Apple Silicon-era laptop for regular folks. It has been completely redesigned around Apple’s own ARM-based chips, has a new slab-sided shape, a screen with smaller borders, and a MagSafe charging port. And yet the previous M1 MacBook, which was essentially just the old Intel-era model with a new Apple chip inside, is still superior in some ways, and much cheaper. “For casual users, the M2 chip will not really make any significant differences for day-to-day tasks unless you need extreme improvements in professional workflows,” Sudhir Khatwani, co-founder and Editor In Chief at The Money Mongers, told Lifewire via email....

However, despite the title’s success in bringing the iconic xenomorph to life, a sequel to Alien: Isolation is currently only an unconfirmed rumor. Fans hope the current franchise owner, Disney, will soon release official confirmation that the title is in development, especially considering now is the perfect time for a sequel to be released.

Lawrence and Wilson have made plenty of mistakes from inexperience while adjusting to the speed of pro defenses. But their numbers also are a major byproduct of getting limited help from their support systems. Both QBs also have been hurt by contrast vs. the other young QBs. While the 49ers’ Trey Lance and the Bears’ Justin Fields get incompletes for not starting right away, fellow rookie first-rounder Mac Jones has been efficient leading the Patriots to the AFC’s best record....

Kingdom Hearts has done its best to hold some presence in every console generation since the PS2. Seeing as how most modern handhelds are made by Nintendo, Kingdom Hearts has spent a fair amount of its history on Nintendo hardware like the 3DS. Recently, cloud versions of the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise were released on Switch under the title Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece. Even if these aren’t the ideal versions of the games, it still feels right to have Kingdom Hearts be collected on the latest Nintendo handheld....
