And a wide-ranging interview, it was. MORE: Antonio Brown apologizes to NFL Brown began the interview in an apologetic tone, similar to his approach when he sat down with ESPN’s Josina Anderson last week, when he said he owed “the whole NFL an apology” for his past behavior. (He also recently posted an apology on Instagram to the Hollywood Police Department about three weeks after he shouted obscenities at officers who responded to a domestic dispute between Brown and the mother of his five children, and a week after he surrendered on an arrest warrant stemming from a dispute with the driver of a moving truck....
According to the report, Brown had a deadline last Sunday to sign the agreement to pay his former trainer, Britney Taylor, the $2 million in a private settlement.

Brown doesn’t see it that way. According to a transcript provided by HBO, the four-time All-Pro told LeBron James on James’ HBO show “The Shop” that there’s “too much smoke” between Brown and the team for Brown to play for Pittsburgh in 2019. Brown’s conversation with James marked his first extended public comments since requesting a trade last month. The Steelers are shopping Brown but general manager Kevin Colbert has stressed the team won’t cut him or make any personnel move that would be detrimental to the team, reiterating there’s a possibility the Steelers won’t move Brown if they don’t receive what they consider fair value....
Cassano, in his role as a pundit in Italy spoke to Bobo TV, stated that Raiola was looking for a bumper renewal for his client. He said: Paul Pogba departed Manchester United in 2012, joining Juventus on a free transfer. He made a name for himself in Turin and became one of the best midfielders on the continent before a world-record return to Old Trafford in 2016. His form since returning to England has been a cause for concern, with inconsistency and off-field troubles plaguing the France international....
People with anorexia generally restrict the number of calories and the types of food they eat. Often they eat so little that they cannot sustain basic bodily functions, leading to serious health complications and even death. Those with this eating disorder may also think that they are overweight even when they are thin (distorted body image). Anorexia nervosa can occur across genders, ages, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. This eating disorder increases a young person’s risk of dying by tenfold, and it has one of the highest mortality rates among mental disorders and a high relapse rate....
[Update: The first Assassin’s Creed 3 screenshots have leaked!] When an image purported to be promotional art for the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, rumored to be simply titled Assassin’s Creed 3, leaked online it seemed too good to be true. Not only had we successfully hypothesized that Ubisoft might be taking their assassin franchise to the time period of the American Revolution, but the image itself, which featured a new assassin sporting some Native American weaponry, was downright awesome....
The road to the foothills of fame hasn’t been easy. “When I did something like 13 or 14 performances in three months all over Europe in the late 1970s,” McCarthy says, “my hold on reality got to be a little tenuous.” But he gave up live performance in the early ’80s (everything’s been for videotape since then), not because of the looming nutso factor, but because “[for other artists] performance became cabaret....

Online RPG’s like Anthem usually live or die by the strength of their loot and progression systems, which makes this latest, seemingly minor detail about set bonuses quite important for fans of the genre. Set bonuses, as the name suggests, offer some kind of boost to a player who manages to acquire and equip every piece of gear from a single set, creating an incentive for players to grind for specific loot....
The hotly anticipated sci-fi RPG offers areas to explore, loot to collect, and gear to equip. Fans argue there is a lot of potential there for exploitative monetization, and they have called upon EA not to make the same mistake again. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter is confident that EA won’t put its foot in it with Anthem, though. In a recent interview, Pachter explained that EA is currently on “probation” with gamers and that it cannot afford to “put an onerous microtransaction scheme in any game going forward, they need to re-earn gamers’ trust again....
One specific issue that players have had with the title involves the Strongholds, essentially raids at the end of the game. Many who have made it to the end game content have vented frustration on platforms like Reddit, specifically that legendary loot, which some feel is harder to come by than it should be, often ends up locked behind some sort of force field, teasing players of what could be theirs....
Davis was driving to the basket in the second quarter when he apparently suffered the injury. He walked out of bounds to recover for a bit, and then went to the free throw line. He shot his free throws, but it was clear he was in pain. After the final free throw, the Lakers team intentionally fouled in order to get Davis out of the game.
