Derek Carr Trolls The Highway With Corny Music Video Billboard, And The Internet Goes Bananas

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been going hard as of late when it comes to trolling the public. On August 11th, the first billboard popped up with the words, “Get Ready” along with the date “8.15.2017”. On Tuesday, Carr made good on his promise with a very corny, yet hilarious teaser billboard for an upcoming music video.

Carr also posted a sneak peak video on his Instagram page. Here’s the Oakland Raiders star as you’ve never seen him before…. Just terrible…

Derek Carr said that he “can’t wait for you to see the full thing” regarding his upcoming music video. But Carr isn’t done yet, he bought out a billboard on the side of a highway. The billboard advertises this a single for an upcoming music video supposedly set to come out sometime in 2017.

So many pro athletes have dived right into the world of music, and none have reached success comparable to their sports career. Whether it’s Shaquille O’Neil, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, “Macho Man” Randy Savage (oohhh yeaaahhhh), and most recently Lavar Ball. So, Carr dipping his wick into the music industry doesn’t sound so farfetched.

However, Carr was just f*cking with everyone. He admitted that the music video billboard was all a big joke. But seriously, the dude should have waited a little longer to spill the beans of his prank. Pretty weak, bro…

Fans were befuddled, sassy and funny when reacting to the billboard. One fan couldn’t believe Carr had jumped the boat to music. Judging by the cover photo, I’d guess either country or R&B…

Derek Carr was quick to tell Mr. Weddle that the billboard is only a joke…

Carr got ’em shocked!

And of course, Carr once again feels obliged to ruin his prank completely…

Even his brother, former Texans quarterback David Carr chipped in his two cents…

It’s good to say brothers agree on something…

What escalated quickly? I didn’t see people losing their shit on the internet, oh wait….

SMDH….

Now, that’s just sad…

Derek “DC” Carr is someone who can do both….

Watch your f*cking language! But I agee…

Same…

No joke… Oh wait, it is…

Pssst. Make it 31 touchdowns and a Source Award…

Carr will stick to whatever vocation he pleases. His voice, his choice…

Pssst. Yeah, okay. More like Carr is leading Oakland to the Super bowl

Foolish like a fox…

Good eye, private!

Some people know a lot about license plates…

The real joke is on Oakland when the Raiders finally pick and leave to Las Vegas!

Fantasy Football Sleepers 2017: Corey Coleman

The Cleveland Browns. Just looking at the name can make you cringe in despair considering the amount of losing and turnover this team has experienced in recent memory. While the woeful Browns have had some notable fantasy gems here and there, many of them have been one hit wonders or have sought greener pastures with much more competitive organizations. The most recent departure of wide receiver Terrelle Pryor to Washington was a devastating loss for the Browns as the quarterback turned wide out was arguably the most productive asset of their otherwise forgettable roster. However, Cleveland may have a uniquely productive albeit largely unknown fantasy weapon. Enter wide receiver Corey Coleman.

While the second year receiver comes with a massive caveat in that he has a history of being sidelined with injuries, his big-play potential cannot be ignored. Most notably, Coleman shined as a speedy deep threat against the Baltimore Ravens as he caught five passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns(he averaged 20.80 yards per reception). Although Coleman’s sample size is admittedly small and his overall numbers were most likely skewed during the latter half of the season due to a lingering hand injury, his athletic ability alone could allow him to take over number one receiving duties for the Browns.

Of course, the recipe for a bounce back season for a receiver can only be properly pulled off successfully if he has a respective quarterback to feed him passes. And that, at the very least, is a lingering concern for the Browns. Will Cleveland bring in an experienced albeit wildly inconsistent passer in Brock Osweiler? Or will they hand the reins over to second year quarterback Cody Kessler, who showed moments of greatness when he was healthy? Or will the Browns be truly bold and throw the raw rookie DeShone Kizer into the mix? Whatever happens, Coleman’s value could fluctuate wildly before the start of the season as his success will ultimately be predicated on his health and whichever quarterback gets the nod.

Still, regardless of who is throwing to Coleman, the young wide out has a high ceiling as a deep threat and is the epitome of a high-risk/high-reward fantasy prospect. While Coleman needs to prove he can be more consistent when it comes to keeping his hands on the ball to be truly valuable in PPR leagues, his potential for being a touchdown scoring machine will make him a dark horse pick somewhere in the middle rounds of your fantasy draft.

Mia Khalifa: Hottest Photos On The Internet

Ever since Mia Khalifa backed away from the porn industry, she has really stepped up her game on social media. Besides her mountain of followers on Twitter and Instagram, Mia has created quite a following on the live streaming video platform site known as Twitch.

On her first night with Twitch, Ms. Khalifa raked up roughly half a million views. Similarly, her six hour live stream received about 600,000 hits.

Her Twitch account is MiaKhalifa1 and she primarily records herself cooking or playing video games. She’s played a lot of 2K basketball and hockey games on her stream. But Mia is just trying out new games as she goes along. She’s never played any 2k games before her stream. Ms. Khalifa was more of a World of Warcraft girl in high school and college.

Mia told Rolling Stone that, “I had never played 2K and this was an excuse for me to spend $60 on a video game that I had never played. I decided to stream that, but I want to play some Overwatch, too. I’m also playing Call of Duty: Black Ops III with this one streamer, and I played World of Warcraft in college and high school, so I’m going to stream that.”

Besides video games, Mia likes to do a lot of cooking on her live streaming channel. She attributes her cooking skills to when she was a little girl watching her mother cook in the kitchen.

She said, “Cooking is definitely one of my biggest passions. I’ve always been in the kitchen since I was little. My mom cooked liked three meals a day, so she taught me everything I know about cooking. I’ve done it a lot on my Instagram story, like recipe tutorials, and my Snapchat. Jeff was actually the one who suggested, “Why don’t you do it on Twitch? It won’t disappear after 24 hours!”

Here’s a sneak peak into Mia Khalifa’s Twitch cooking show…

This cooking video is definitely aimed more towards her former/current/future audience…

Former Love Island star Olivia Buckland was seen smokin’ up London street on Wednesday in a skin-tight mini-skirt hugging her curves. She was seen with current cast member of Love Island, Gaby Allen.

Olivia Buckland was born on November 28, 1993, in Chelmsford, Essex, England.

She came in second place in the 2016 season of the Love Island reality series. Despite not winning the competition, Buckland was able to find true love with her partner on the show, Alex Bowen. A year later, the two were engaged.

Olivia says that no one on Love Island has a chance with her fiancée, but that doesn’t mean she won’t have a girls night out with one of the cast members.

In 2017, Buckland transitioned into the fashion world, as she released her own clothing brand called MissPap.

In July 2017, Olivia started appearing on the British daytime television series This Morning. She is the resident Love Island reporter on the show alongside Chloe Crowhurst. On Fridays throughout the summer, Buckland has her own segment dedicated to show-business.

Illinois College Student Sues School For Violation Of First Amendment Rights

Joshua Zale, an Illinois student at Moraine Valley Community College, is suing the university after he was barred from the college for allegedly using what Moraine Valley deemed an ‘an unacceptable word’ while acting out an improv skit.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Zale filed a suit against Moraine Valley Community College, accusing them violating his freedom of speech rights.

The suit claims that back in April, Zale was instructed to act as a pimp trying to collect money during an improv exercise in his theatre class. Zale claims he confronted by his professor Craig Rosen after the class ended. Zale then claims Rosen told him the word he used during his improvisational performance was “unacceptable.”

Following subsequent meetings with Rosen, Zale was unable to register for classes. Zale, who is representing himself, is now asking a Cook County Circuit Court judge to allow him to register for classes and award him monetary damages.

via Chicago Tribune:

The lawsuit states that Zale “is being penalized by defendants for the statements he made during an acting exercise in a course … and for his conduct in questioning the reasons for which he was being told his actions were inappropriate.”

Court records don’t mention the word Zale used during his class performance, but afterward his professor allegedly told him it was unacceptable. On April 20, Zale met with the instructor to find out why he had been chastised for using “a word which was precisely within the assignment he had been given,” according to the lawsuit.

Zale alleges that during the discussion, an assistant dean also accused him of “mistreating her as a woman” under Title IX, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Monday. Title IX is part of a 1972 law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.

Six days later, he received an email from the dean of students alleging he had violated the student code of conduct during the April 20 meeting by causing a disruption and for “physical/verbal abuse or harassment,” according to a copy of the email included in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also states that Zale is “being penalized by defendants for the statements he made during an acting exercise in a course and for his conduct in questioning the reasons for which he was being told his actions were inappropriate.”

Zale is seeking an unspecified sum in damages from the school, as well as a reinstate of his eligibility for classes.


Incoming Alt-Right Boston University Freshman Withdraws From University

Nicholas Fuentes, an 18-year-old who participated in the white supremacy rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, says he has withdrawn from Boston University after receiving multiple death threats.

Fuentes, 18, claims he has received at least 15 threatening messages through either email and social media since Saturday, August 12.

The student, who is a supporter of President Donald Trump and as host for the Youtube channel “Right Side Broadcasting Network”, claims he previously considered leaving BU earlier this year after inauguration protests. Fuentes also read headlines earlier this year for saying that “multiculturalism is cancer.”

Boston University has since confirmed that Fuentes is no longer enrolled at the university.

via Boston Globe:

Fuentes said he thought the event was intended as a demonstration against “immigration, multiculturalism, and post-modernism.” Public officials handled the event poorly, he said. The police were not allowed to do their jobs properly, making the rally “a total disaster from start to finish,” he said.

Fuentes denied being a white nationalist or a racist, and said he rejects Nazism. He accused the media of using charges of racism as a “way to tell white people to shut up, rather than to say something substantive.”

In a Facebook post from the same day as the violence in Charlottesville, Fuentes referred to the rally as “incredible.”

On Tuesday, Fuentes said he did not consider himself complicit in the violence in Charlottesville and did not think his attendance at the rally meant he endorsed the views of those seen brandishing white supremacist symbols.

Despite the fact that Fuentes claims he thinks the death of Heather Heyer is a “tragedy” blamed her death on the “normalization of violence on the left” saying that Heyer’s “blood is on the hands of the alt-left.”

University Of Florida Denies Richard Spencer’s Request To Speak On Campus

The University of Florida shut down a request by white nationalist Richard Spencer’s group to have him speak on campus on September 12.

In a statement, University of Florida president W. Kent Fuchs said that “amid serious concerns for safety, we have decided to deny the National Policy Institute’s request to rent event space at the University of Florida.” Fuchs said the decision is due to the potential for violence that could arise.

The university’s decision comes after the violent protests last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia. Spencer attended the rally and promoted it on social media.

via ABC News:

Spencer has said he is neither a racist nor a white supremacist, which is someone who believes that white people are superior to other races. Instead, under the label of “alt-right,” which Spencer is credited with coining, white nationalists like him espouse “white separatist ideologies,” as defined by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a legal advocacy organization that monitors extremist groups.

Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, which says it is a white nationalist organization “dedicated to the heritage, identity and future of people of European descent in the United States,” has become a lightning rod for criticism since the election of Donald Trump.

Spencer first gained notoriety back in November when video surfaced of him at a conference shouting “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory,” as some members of the crowd did a Nazi salute.

University president Fuchs said he finds “the racist rhetoric of Richard Spencer and white nationalism repugnant and counter to everything the university and this nation stands for.”

Florida (!) High School Student Arrested For Threatening Her Teacher On Social Media

Desiree Zio, a Florida high school student, has been accused of threatening to kill her teacher on social media.

Zio, 18, was arrested on Sunday, August 13, after allegedly saying she intended to find her former River Ridge High School teacher at home or at school and stab her with a knife.

According to WFLA, investigators said Zio intended to find the teacher at her residence or at the school to try and carry out the threat.

via WFLA:

The post read, “I’m going to kill ___.”

Investigators say Zio wrote the threat on her mother’s Facebook page and sent it directly to the teacher. The teacher immediately contacted authorities.

“The teacher brought it to the principal’s attention, who then informed law enforcement,” said Lt. Troy Fergueson. Detectives said Zio was upset regarding incidents from last year.

Students attending class on the first day can’t believe it.

“It’s crazy that it happened at my school, but like not really, you know people joke around about that, but you know. It’s not something to joke about,” said freshman Alexis Rizzo.

District officials said threats on social media won’t be taken lightly.

“She was angry at her former teacher and claimed there was some bullying last school year that wasn’t addressed to her satisfaction and she acted out emotionally and made the threat,” Ferguson said.

Authorities said the teacher not only saw the post on Facebook, but Zio sent her the message directly.

Zio was charged with written threats to kill or do bodily harm and is being held on $10,000 bond. Zio, who is entering her senior at Marchman High School, will be recommended for suspension.

Conor McGregor Was On ‘Conan’ Last Night Sounding Like A Man On A Mission

Conan

Woo! If you didn’t take Conor McGregor seriously before, you best start now, cause that right there is a man on a mission.

Last night, I got in bed a little earlier than usual, and because of that, had to tune into Conan until Colbert started at 11:35. Luckily for me, McGregor, one of the world’s greatest fighters and showmen, was appearing on Conan live from Las Vegas.

Here’s what Conor had to say for himself, including predicting that he’ll knock Floyd out within four rounds.

“There will be no dancing in there, Conan. I’m gonna go straightforward and put him away inside four rounds.”

“He’s saying he’s gonna come towards me, I’m saying I’m gonna come towards him. We’ll find out pretty early who’s telling the truth. We’ll see who takes a back step first. I will go forward for him and put him away.”

“I’m going down in the history books, Conan. I’ve dominated the UFC and I will dominate boxing also. It has never been done. That’s where I’m going, down in the history books.”

“We’ve made slight adjustments in my cardio preparation. It’s actually been very enjoyable to go from five, five-minute rounds, which is what we’re used to, which is 25 minutes, to 12, three-minute rounds of boxing, which is 36 minutes. Slight adjustments, but we are more than ready. I done 12 rounds last night, I’ve done multiple 12-round fights in the gym in the lead-up to this. We are more than ready. Floyd is praying for me to fatigue in there, but I will not fatigue. I will continue to press forward, and I will break him. At 40 years of age, he will not sustain my pace.”

For all of Conor’s hyperbole and arrogance, you have to give him this — he seems to have some serious clarity right now. While he’s clearly his usually cocky-self, his boasting seems to be backed by logic. He sounds like a man chasing destiny, and if we’ve learned anything about Conor McGregor over the last couple of years, it’s that we should never doubt him when he is.

Former High School Baseball Player Is Suing His Coach For Benching Him

Robbie Lopez, a former Los Altos High School baseball player, is suing the school district and his former coach because the coach repeatedly benched him.

According to the lawsuit, Los Altos’ head varsity baseball coach, Gabriel Lopez, repeatedly refused to let Lopez play during his senior year, which the suit claims constitute a pattern of “harassment and bullying.”

The suit mentions multiple instances, but also singles out the annual alumni game, stating that “the game is supposed to be a fun day; especially for seniors on the team” and that “every senior on the team played except for” Robbie Lopez.

via San Gabriel Valley Tribune:

The boy’s father, Robert Lopez II, believed the coach’s decision to bench his son throughout the season was because he complained to the district’s athletic director after a disagreement over a fundraising game.

Lopez spoke to the school after the coach did not allow players to practice who had not participated in a fundraising event. It is illegal in California to require students to fundraise to participate in public school activities.

The lawsuit also claimed the teenager had been a starter for three years prior to coach Lopez being hired. Michael Ponce, the lawyer representing Robbie Lopez and his parents, said the prolonged period of relegating him to the bench is “an abuse of the coach’s discretion.”

The suit states that over the course of four months and 14 game, Robbie was been benched and was not allowed the opportunity to show his “offensive or defensive capabilities.”

Upcoming Switch Games

Nintendo

Newly released consoles need some time before there’s a decent amount of games in their library. Having released earlier in the year to only a few titles, the Switch has somewhat struggled releasing new content — at least in terms of AAA games — to subdue the hunger of hardcore gamers who were won over by its successful launch campaign. But that’s not unusual; the PS4 and Xbox One also took time to get grounded. Every console does.

Thankfully with the help of titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and, of course, Splatoon 2, Nintendo held its ground long enough to reach the Holiday season. The latter half of the year is looking bright for the tech giant.

We’ve been compiling lists of the five best upcoming games for each platform, and the Switch is up next. Here they are.


Rocket League

Publisher: Psyonix
Developer: Psyonix
Platforms: Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and PC
Release Date: Holiday 2017 (on Switch)

Rocket League is the super successful competitive indie title that has made its way to just about every platform. It’s a soccer-like sports game using acrobatic rocket-powered RC cars. You’ll get the hang of it in minutes, but mastering the game is a different story. Try a YouTube search of a competitive match and see just how crazy things get.

Whether you’re playing the lengthy and challenging season, practicing with AI, or testing your skills with a local or online match, Rocket League is an absolute blast. There are a ton of maps, modes and customization options, and developer Psyonix has made it its mission to push a plethora of new content. The Switch is no exception. Rocket League will launch later this year with exclusive Nintendo swag.


Skyrim

Publisher: Bethesda Software
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Platforms: Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and PC
Release Date: Holiday 2017 (on Switch)

Shown off during the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer, Skyrim will be playable on a Nintendo platform for the first time ever — it took only three console generations. But any Switch owner should be excited that the role-playing adventure game has found a home on Nintendo’s new hardware. Skyrim is a gem, a game that continues to wow players six years after its original release. And because the Switch is both a home and portable console, this will mark the first time Skyrim can be played on the go. Make sure to charge your device before class.

There’s no official release date, but it’s slated for launch this year.

PRE-ORDER: Skyrim


Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Monolith Software
Platforms: Switch
Release Date: Holiday 2017

Don’t let that number tagged on the end fool you. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is not a sequel. It’s an entirely new entry set in a different world with different characters. That being said, there are still core elements that will carry over to this next game.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is set in a beautiful world — the biggest of the series yet. It follows two characters as they journey across the open lands in pursuit of the city of Elysium. You’ll encounter and recruit new companions, fight enemies called Titans, and explore cool environments. Having assisted with Breath of the Wild — the Switch’s prettiest game that also happens to be an open-world adventure — we can be confident that Monolith Software knows how to handle a large-scale project. It’s an exciting RPG to look forward to. See for yourself above.

PRE-ORDER: Xenoblade Chronicles 2


Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Ubisoft Milan
Platforms: Switch
Release Date: August 29

Okay, this one needs some explaining. Mario + Rabbids looks like a crappy mashup. Honestly, it’s always hit or miss with these damn Rabbids. But do not let this one slip through the cracks. Mario + Rabbids is a carefully orchestrated XCOM-style turn-based strategy game. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

There are elements of exploration, where you solve puzzles, find hidden mazes and ultimately progress to the next battle. Battles play out on a rotatable map in which you take turns moving characters while looking for strategic ways to eliminate enemies using an assortment of weapons. Your arsenal will grow as you continue through the game. My man Mario is really about to stress his Second Amendment rights — those poor rabbit-things. Look out for this game later in the month.

PRE-ORDER: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle


Super Mario Odyssey

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Platforms: Switch
Release Date: October 27

Surprise, surprise! It’s-a Mario … game.

We’re always enthusiastically awaiting the next great Mario title, and Super Mario Odyssey looks to be it. It’s a massive 3D adventure game, taking Mario across a number of awesome-looking levels, including New Donk City — a large New York City-inspired area with normal-looking people that hilariously tower over our poor stumpy plumber. The are dinosaurs and frogs wearing hats, fish with mustaches, stones with piercings, mopeds, taxis, tanks, concerts, sumbreros — I’m not kidding; that’s all legit in the trailer above. Super Mario Odyssey will be one of the biggest and most ambitious launches of the year, and it tops our list of best upcoming Switch games.

Fox News Is Essentially State Run Media But At Least They Hire Chicks Like Carley Shimkus

Despite the fact that I couldn’t agree with a word that they’re saying, I actually watch Fox News more than any other cable news channel. They say to defeat your enemy you must first understand them, so I try and immerse myself in the idiocy of Fox News in order to better understand this peculiar breed of people.

However, sometimes, in between the propaganda and other preposterous “news” segments, the occasional eye candy pops up.

You’ve got Kat Timpf, you’ve seen Kimberly Guilfoyles, and now I introduce you to Carley Shimkus.

Shimkus, who majored in journalism at Quinnipiac University, joined Fox News in 2009, eventually becoming an associate producer in 2012. In addition to her role as producer, Shimkus makes the occasional on screen appearance, as well.

We can see why Fox News wants her on screen as much as possible.

Kyrie Irving Wants Out Of Cleveland For This Reason

$

After reports of Kyrie Irving requesting for the Cleveland Cavaliers to trade him surfaced all over the sports world, analysts constantly question the reasoning for his yearning to leave. It was said that Kyrie Irving wants to be a focal point of a team as opposed to LeBron James’ sidekick. While this would be a great opportunity for Kyrie Irving to bloom into an NBA superstar, it would undermine his chances of making the NBA Finals to compete for another championship. While I do believe that Irving does truly seek to be a team’s number one option, there is another aspect to his request.

Instagram Photo

The core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers (LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving) were able to reach three straight NBA Finals and obtain an NBA Championship. Along with their completed credentials, they are favorites to make it out of the Eastern Conference in order to make the Finals this year as well. According to ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 62.2% chance to make the 2018 NBA Finals. However, Cleveland has only a 2.2% chance of winning the championship. This is due to the opponent they will be facing in the NBA Finals, The Golden State Warriors. While the Cavaliers do have a good team, the Warriors are simply unstoppable. As we witnessed in last year’s season (2016-2017), the Golden State Warriors had too much star power for anyone else to be crowned victorious. With the dynamic backcourt of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green as the supporting cast to the second best player in the NBA, Kevin Durant, the Cleveland Cavaliers were left helpless. Even with the signing of Derick Rose, the Cavaliers are still handicapped in comparison to Golden State.

Instagram Photo

Kyrie Irving has a lot of pride and heart. It is apparent in tight situations that he appears to be one of the only motivated players. As a result, it makes sense that Kyrie Irving would prefer playing for a team built around him in comparison to being a Plan B to LeBron James. However, I feel Irving would be willing to be James’ partner in crime in Cleveland if they had a realistic chance of winning a championship. Looking back at the Finals last year, it is evident that the Cavaliers, even when playing their best basketball, are unable to beat Golden State in a seven game series. LeBron James became the first player in NBA History to average a triple double in the Finals and averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. Kyrie Irving also played great basketball as he averaged 29.4 points, four assists, and four rebounds. With the great playing ability of these two, Cleveland was only able to beat the Warriors in one game, during which Kyrie Irving scored 40 points and James got a 31-point triple double. Since Irving realizes the team he is facing in the NBA is too superior to defeat, he is seeking another team in pursuit of something else other than a ring: stardom.

It makes perfect sense for Kyrie Irving to want to be the top player on a team. He is unable to defeat the Golden State Warriors with LeBron James on his team. Along with this Irving’s value is diminished due to the force James is for the team. If Kyrie Irving departs to a different team, he can get more publicity and possibly lead his own team to a competitive position. This move is right for Kyrie Irving’s career.

For this moment in time, the moon and sun will be in such perfect alignment that the sun will be completely blocked off and the moon’s shadow will envelop the earth.

The eclipse only affects certain areas. Not every state will be treated to the wonders of an eclipse. But when will be this eclipse and where will it touch down?

Solar Eclipse 2017 Time: When is the Solar Eclipse?

Solar Eclipse 2017 Time

The United States will experience a total eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017. The eclipse will cast a 70 miles shadow on the upper-northwest portion of Oregon at 10:00 A.M. local time. The dark shadow will travel past Idaho and Wyoming. At 2:45 P.M. (EST), the eclipse will move out through South Carolina.

The eclipse will move very quickly. It will reportedly only stay in the same spot for a few minutes in a particular spot. However, if you have access to a jet, you can actually race the miles-long shadow to its destination into the Atlantic. NASA will fly their jet right into the eclipse, and plan on recording seven minutes of footage.

Over 12 million people live in the eclipse’s path, so if you want to follow the shadow with your car, be my guest. An estimated seven million are predicted to travel all the way out to see the eclipse for themselves. They’ll be coming to see the first total eclipse to hit the U.S. since 1979.

The Transcript Of Martin Shkreli’s Jury Selection Is Comedy Gold

Despite the fact that most of the country’s anger has been rightfully directed towards the White House, reallife Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain Martin Shrekli is still as hateable and unlikeable as ever, so hopefully you will take as much pleasure as I did in the transcripts from his jury selection.

Earlier in August,  Shkreli, the “Pharma Bro” who infamously jacked up the cost of HIV medication by 5000%, was convicted of three counts of fraud. Shkreli, who gained notoriety after hiking up the price of life-saving drugs, was almost so unpopular that the court wasn’t able to put together a jury.

Not really sure what the court expected, either. Not only did he literally endanger lives, but he disrespected the Wu Tang Clan in New York City. The Wu Tang Clang are LEGENDS in New York, and anyone from here *knows* you do NOT disrespect them, especially the way Shkreli did.


Juror No. 1: I’m aware of the defendant and I hate him.

Benjamin Brafman: I’m sorry.

Juror No. 1: I think he’s a greedy little man.

The Court: Jurors are obligated to decide the case based only on the evidence. Do you agree?

Juror No. 1: I don’t know if I could. I wouldn’t want me on this jury.

The Court: Juror Number 1 is excused. Juror Number 18.


Juror No. 52: When I walked in here today I looked at him, and in my head, that’s a snake — not knowing who he was. I just walked in and looked right at him and that’s a snake.


Juror No. 70: I have total disdain for the man. When you go back to how he was able to put so many children —

The Court: You have negative feelings?

Juror No. 70: Very.


Juror No. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —

The Court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?

Juror No. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.

The Court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.

Juror No. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.


Juror No. 144: I don’t think I can because he kind of looks like a dick.


Juror No. 28: I don’t like this person at all. I just can’t understand why he would be so stupid as to take an antibiotic which H.I.V. people need and jack it up five thousand percent. I would honestly, like, seriously like to go over there —

The Court: Sir, thank you.

Juror No. 28: Is he stupid or greedy? I can’t understand.


Shkreli was convicted of two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiring to commit securities fraud in the legal court and convicted of being a slimy rat-faced f*ck in the court of public opinion.

Man, if I was about 10, 15-years-older, this woman would be my dream girl.

Andrea Savage, a comedy writer and actress who was worked on project such as Step Brothers and Veep, recently got her own show I’m Sorry on TruTV and is turning into a star.

A Cornell University graduate, Savage has it all: brains, beauty, she’s hilarious, and she has an awesome last name. In fact, if/when we get married, I’m going to take her last name.

Savage was born in Santa Monica, California, eventually graduating from Cornell University, where she majored in government with a minor in law studies. She then went on to performed stand-up comedy at The Improv, The Comedy Store, The Ice House and other venues around Los Angeles.

After years of supporting roles and writing gigs, Savage’s semi-autobiographical TruTV comedy I’m Sorry premiered in July and has received nothing short of rave reviews.

Upcoming PS4 Games: Top 5 Best Games Coming Fall 2017

Summer is almost over, and gamers are readying themselves for their favorite season. The latter half of the year usually sees the most anticipated game releases, and 2017 is no different. We’ve compiled a list of the best games yet to come and choosen the top five candidates for each platform — starting with the PlayStation 4.

Currently the best-selling current-gen console, the PS4 has a ton of great titles, from its celebrated first-party studios (hats off to Naughty Dog and Guerrilla Games) to its support from third-party and indie devs. Already this year we’ve seen Gravity Rush 2, Nier: Autonoma, Drawn to Death and Horizon Zero Dawn. So what’s next?

Well, without further ado, here are our top five upcoming PS4 games.


Assassin’s Creed Origins

Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One and PC
Release Date: October 27, 2017

Assassin’s Creed is back. Having skipped 2016, it’s been awhile since the last series entry (with Assassin’s Creed Syndicate in October 2015). Origins will take players to the beginning, but of course, I’m kinda stating the obvious here. Set in Ancient Egypt, Origins will tell the story of Bayek, the protector of Egypt, and his involvement in the creation of the Assassin’s Brotherhood. You can uncover and explore lost tombs and pyramids in the exotic open-world, discovering mummies, gods, and pharaohs. The trailer above will give you a glimpse of the map and gameplay.

This is an exciting installment if you’ve been following the series since its inception in 2007. We’ll finally get a look at how it all began. And for you newbies out there: It’s time to get on board.

PRE-ORDER: Assassin’s Creed Origins


Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds (DLC)

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Guerrilla Games
Platforms: PS4
Release Date: November 7, 2017

Story-themed downloadable content totally counts as a game. Horizon Zero Dawn released earlier this year to critical and commercial acclaim. The open-world action role-playing game featuring mechanical beasts will receive its first story DLC in November, featuring an entirely new winter-themed area with fresh story content and side quests.

The timing is excellent. Horizon doesn’t have any online functions, and while things like New Game+ have been added to increase replay value, there isn’t much reason to continue playing the game once it’s all said and done. Even the Platinum Trophy can be easily obtained. But with The Frozen Wilds, fans can once again step into Aloy’s furry boots.


Skyrim PSVR

Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Platforms: PS4
Release Date: November 2017

How does a game that released in 2011 make our 2017 upcoming games list? Simple: It’s friggin’ Skyrim. The game continues to make waves six years later. It was featured in the reveal trailer for the Nintendo Switch, has been remastered for current-gen consoles, and now PlayStation owners can play one of the world’s most beloved RPGs of all time in virtual reality.

Admit it. You spent more hours in 2011 playing Skyrim than you did on, say, socializing. Who needed a love life when you could marry Aela the Huntress? And rent? Psh. Your home in Whitefall was enough. Now imagine reliving those glory days — scaling mountains when you were too lazy to find the path, struggling between becoming a vampire or werewolf, regretting becoming a vampire when the werewolves were so clearly superior — in virtual reality on PS4. It’s lit.

PRE-ORDER: Skyrim PSVR


South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft San Francisco
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One and PC
Release Date: October 17, 2017

One of last year’s biggest bummers was the announcement that South Park: The Fractured But Whole wouldn’t make its initial December 2016 launch. But delays happen, and in this industry they happen often; however, we are no less excited. The Fractured But Whole is a sequel to 2014’s The Stick of Truth, the award-winning, stupidly fun adventure RPG that South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone played a major role in making.

This time the kids of South Park play as a gang of superheroes, Coon and Friends, led by The Coon himself, Eric Cartman. For a glimpse at the hysterical adventure arriving mid-October, check out the trailer above.

PRE-ORDER: South Park: The Fractured But Whole


Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Naughty Dog
Platforms: PS4
Release Date: August 22, 2017

Yep. Another DLC makes our list. But to be fair, this one is a standalone title. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy tells the story of  Chloe Frazer (introduced in Uncharted 2). She, along with Nadine Ross (Uncharted 4), is out to find an ancient artifact, naturally, before it falls into the hands of an evil warmonger. It’s an unlikely duo — one has slept with Nathan Drake, the other has tried to kill him — but the game looks to be another stellar Uncharted adventure. If you’re a PlayStation owner, you probably have all the Uncharted journeys in your library, maybe even that Vita one everybody forgot about, so here’s one more for your collection. The Lost Legacy ends our list of the most anticipated PS4 games yet to come, and what’s more is it’s almost here. The game launches on Tuesday, August 22. Anyone who pre-orders it will receive a free digital copy of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. So hurry before it’s too late, you crazy kids.
