Brown’s meltdown — in which he removed his pads and undershirt before leaving the field following a discussion with coach Bruce Arians — is the latest episode from the five-time All-Pro receiver. Those incidents, which partly contributed to his moving on from the Steelers, Raiders and Patriots, have led many to claim he has undiagnosed mental health issues — a notion he adamantly refuted in an appearance on Brandon Marshall’s “I Am Athlete” show....

Back in September, Sliker was involved in a controversy, as he was accused of scamming his supporters and other streamers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Several people claimed that Sliker had sent them seemingly heartfelt videos in which he asked for money due to his bank account being frozen. His story about a frozen bank account was later found to be false. Afterward, Sliker issued a public apology video in which he acknowledged his mistakes, vouched once again to give every victim their money back, and admitted to having a serious gambling problem....

Preidler offered “his immediate and spontaneous resignation, justified by his inexcusable involvement” in the doping case, Groupama-FDJ said. He had allegedly undergone “blood collection” procedures twice last year. The team said it had informed the International Cycling Union, French law enforcement and the French anti-doping agency. “The UCI does not have any first-hand information concerning confessions made by cyclists,” the Switzerland-based governing body said in a statement. However, the cycling body said it asked its independent investigators to exchange information with Austrian authorities and the World Anti-Doping Agency to advance each other’s cases....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has left fans scrambling to dig up every scrap and clue they can find about the next chapter of the Lang/Pym/van Dyne family saga. This is partly because of the villains who are supposed to appear, with Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror stepping out of his Loki cameo and into the broader phase 4 Marvel Cinematic Universe to establish himself as the next big bad since Thanos got blipped out of existence at the end of Avengers: Endgame....

According to an official post from BioWare’s Head of Live Service, Chad Robertson, Anthem’s development team has spent this week focusing on improving the overall experience in the demo based on player feedback and the issues they encountered. However, with Robertson not making any mention of the infinite load problem in the blog post, the game’s Technical Design Director, Brenon Holmes, thankfully talked about the matter on the game’s subreddit to indicate that while some fixes are in place to help, there’s a chance the load screen issue could crop up again....

Specifically, players can currently purchase Anthem, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, at 50% off. This significant Anthem discount is available through Best Buy, and it knocks down the cost of the game to just $29.99. While it is certainly not uncommon for games to be discounted rather quickly after their release, half off on a title that was launched less than three months ago does seem notable, especially when that title has both BioWare and EA behind it....

On Twitter, Anthem lead producer Mike Gamble responded to an upset fan’s concerns regarding pay to win loot boxes and paid-for downloadable content. Gamble stated, matter of factly, that “We aren’t going to add loot boxes.” The producer then goes onto explain that loot boxes would serve “no purpose” in the game and stressed that the cosmetics and microtransaction model for Anthem has already been outlined by BioWare. Instead of gameplay-affecting upgrades or items, Anthem will only feature optional cosmetic changes....

On Reddit, one fan warned others off the game, suggesting that EA could “adjust difficulty on the fly” or pair players “with players we have no business being paired with” as part of the patent. This strategy, often called dynamic difficulty adjustment, is designed to make players feel a certain way and can involve letting AI cheat or boosting AI stats in order to give players a more significant challenge....

Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), had angry exchanges with senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) at a hearing of the Senate Health Committee on Tuesday and was heard on a hot mic calling Marshall a “moron.” On December 21, 2021, Fauci called for the firing of Fox News host Jesse Watters following controversial remarks he had made at a Turning Points USA conference about an “ambush” of the infectious diseases expert....

Anthony will sign a five-year deal to remain in New York, and the other teams in pursuit of him have already moved on to other options. MORE: Carmelo staying | LeBron’s deal | Gasol leaving | Wade next? And now, they wait. As much as Anthony’s decision shapes the near future of this team, it is the summer of 2015 that figures to make or break Jackson’s fortunes. Coming into this season, Jackson hasn’t exactly been doing a hard sell on the immediate prospects for his Knicks....

The presence of Patriot Front, the white supremacist group, at the event comes a week after dozens of members of the group showed up for an anti-abortion rally in Chicago, according to The Chicago Sun-Times. The masked members of the group carried shields and held a sign reading, “STRONG FAMILIES MAKE STRONG NATIONS.” Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, said in a statement provided to Newsweek, that Patriot Front and other like-minded groups are not welcome at her organization’s events....

By preventing histamine from attaching to cellular receptors in the skin and mucus membranes of the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract, symptoms of allergy—such as sneezing, itchy eyes, postnasal drip, and, hives—can be temporarily relieved. Antihistamines may also be useful in treating motion sickness, nausea, sinusitis, and eczema. This article explains the different uses of antihistamine drugs and lists some of the more common over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription formulations....

The Wolfire Games antitrust lawsuit came to a conclusion on Friday when the judge presiding approved Valve’s motion to dismiss, though with a footnote. In his dismissal, Judge Coughenour explained that antitrust claims must allege four key points. One of those points is an alleged injury to the plaintiff, who in this case is Wolfire. The judge states that Wolfire doesn’t adequately “articulate sufficient facts” alleging injury. As such, the case hasn’t established a “claim upon which relief can be granted,” and the judge has no choice but to dismiss....

How about a lot? Griezmann’s career has taken a U-turn since his World Cup heroics. From a Ballon d’Or candidate to the laughing stock of the entire footballing world, the way people see Griezmann has changed. A couple of really crucial decisions, if chosen correctly, would have led Griezmann onto the path of glory. Unfortunately for him, those decisions went wrong, and because of those decisions, his future is in doubt....

Zorro is a time-honored character who has been around in some form since he was first created in 1919 and quickly became a silent-movie serial, beloved by all. Banderas made Zorro popular again in the 1990s with The Mask of Zorro and The Legend of Zorro. In a recent interview, Banderas expressed interest in passing the torch, so long as Holland is the one taking it. Hollywood has started a recent tradition of letting a legacy actor return to a role and put a button on their tenure before passing the torch to the next generation....

But after his dance on Monday’s episode, the Steelers wide receiver was interviewed by Erin Andrews and joked about the intensity of the dances. Things got … uncomfortable.

His mind instead was on his Facebook Live session and not what Mike Tomlin was telling the team immediately after Pittsburgh’s 18-16 divisional round victory over the Chiefs. As the views piled up (that was a constant source of pride for Brown during the 17-minute presentation), Tomlin was heard warning his players not to stir the pot ahead of the AFC championship game against the Patriots.

Even though Cesaro lost the match to the champion, he received tremendous support from the crowd. The “We the People” chants echoed around the arena as Cesaro put up an impressive performance. The match between the two superstars also was said to be the “match of the night”.

The incoming president’s pick to lead the U.S. State Department, former Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, told Senate confirmation hearing members that “no party has a monopoly on good ideas.” Blinken reiterated his opposition to “the way Trump went about” implementing his foreign policy, but he supported the president’s peace efforts in Israel and the Balkans. In regards to China, which current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused of committing “genocide” on Tuesday, Blinken said he supports Trump’s approach of leveraging U....

Irate residents have taken their case to the state Supreme Court – but not exactly out of environmental concern. Call it sick-of-skiers revenge.
