Here’s Your Weekly Hilarious Road Rage Fight Video, This Time From Scotland

9 times out of 10 these utterly ridiculous road rage videos come from one of the following two locations: either in the Florida of Asia, AKA Russia, or the Russia of America, AKA Florida. This one, surprisingly, comes from neither of those hallowed grounds. No, this one comes from English and Irish lovechild, AKA Scotland.

Gonna be honest here: I don’t really understand a single one of these insults. I believe the opening remark is, “You’re a f*cking billy!”, which, according to Urban Dictionary, is an Austrailian slang word for bong. And I doubt the driver of the car was calling the cycler an Australian bong.

According to The Sun, the fight happened at the Westfield roundabout in Falkirk, Stirlingshire. Wherever the hell that is. All I know is, it isn’t Florida or Russia.


Aussie Weather Girl Rebecca Judd Somehow Hotter Than Actual Australian Weather

Rebecca Judd, born Rebecca Twigley, is a hot Australian model and weekend weather woman on Channel 9 for Nine News Melbourne. She’s already a happy mother, but she recently announced that she’s taking maternity leave to have another kid. While she was busy saying her goodbyes on Channel 9, Tony Jones–the station’s very own “Champ Kind”– tried to give her a farewell kiss on live TV. It did not go according to plan and was very, very awkward.

It goes without saying that Rebecca is definitely one of the world’s hottest weather women, but Tony boy should probably cool his jets, especially when considering Judd’s husband is an Aussie league football player.

USC Alpha Phi Recruitment Video

The ladies from the University of Southern California’s Alpha Phi sorority know the three keys to a good sorority recruitment video: solid music, some great sorority clothing/gear, and having a good enough time on camera that the boys want to cancel their plans and have a mixer ASAP. Needless to say, the Alpha Phi girls succeeded.

But here’s a serious question: how do these chicks get access to the USC field? You’d think that the school would keep that under lock-and-key. But without further ado, presenting the return of a summer pasttime: sorority recruitment videos. As if you didn’t need another reason to want to attend USC…

Kun Shan Chun: Full Story & Must-See Details

Kun Shan Chun Chinese Agent

Kun Shan Chun has been named by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a employee who’s believed to be an agent of China. For those of you wondering: Yes, “Agent of China” is just another way of saying traitor. More information will be unveiled today when Chun goes to trial in Manhattan, but here’s what we know so far.


Who Is Kun Shan Chun?

Kun Shan Chun is an FBI electronics technician born in China, but is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was previously employed by the FBI in their New York field office since 1997 and was likely fired in early 2016. There are also reports that Kun also went by the name “Joey Chun.”

Chun was born in Guangdong, China and came to the United States in 1980. Around five years later, he became a naturalized US citizen.

He has been charged with four counts of working to “falsify, conceal and cover up by trick, scheme and device a material fact.”


What Happened?

We’re now learning that Chun told an undercover FBI agent that he had access to sensitive information that he could provide to China (via the agent) for a “cut.” Fortunately for the United States, the agent he contacted didn’t actually represent China.

Chun was previously charged with making false statements in a criminal complaint dated back to March 2016. These documents are unsealed because he’s facing charges in a Manhattan federal court on Monday. Fox News also reports that Chun has been charged with four counts of working to “falsify, conceal and cover up by trick, scheme and device a material fact.”

So what exactly happened? The FBI alleges that Chun met with a Chinese associate sometime during a July trip to Europe. During this time, he told an undercover FBI Special Agent (who he did not know was undercover) that he wanted to introduce the agent to these Chinese associates. “Chun also expressed a willingness to facilitate the passage of sensitive United States Government information from the [undercover agent] to one or more of his Chinese associates, including individuals associated with the Chinese Government.”

These Chinese associates were Chinese technology company employees that Chun and his family had “maintained relationships” with, in exchange for financial and travel benefits. These unsealed documents take it a step further and allege that there was at least “one individual whom Chun understood to be affiliated with the Chinese government.”

The FBI is alleging that in a written questionnaire required for security clearance, Chun also failed to disclose ties to foreign organizations and individuals. Additionally, he didn’t tell the FBI that he met with “foreign nationals.”

But it gets even murkier. From Fox News:

Chun and the undercover agent also met in New York in August 2015 during a meeting that was recorded, the charging documents said.

“I could get you connected and then I’m going to stay off,” Chun is alleged to have said. “You know, you do your thing, you make your money, I don’t really care, but…if you make any money, just give me a little bit…”

Judging by the wording of a notice from Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara, it is believed that “Joey Chun” will plead guilty.

Chun is due in court on Monday at 12:00 PM EST, and Reuters is already reported that he plead guilty.

Jonathan Marvinny, Chun’s appointed public defender, said in a statement after the hearing: “Today Joey Chun accepted responsibility for some mistakes in judgment that he deeply regrets. The truth is that Mr. Chun loves the United States and never intended to cause it any harm. He hopes to put this matter behind him and move forward with his life.”

WATCH: Team USA Ripping On Draymond Green Over His Snapchat Fiasco Is Further Proof Famous Athletes Are Just Like Us

Draymond Green has had a really crappy couple of months. He essentially blew the finals for the Warriors due to his obsession with kickin’ dudes in the nuts. He get charged with assault. He became the 4th best player on his team after KD signed. And he also happens to be one of, if not the, ugliest dudes in the NBA (he literally looks like that ‘Ha! Got eeeem!’ guy). Well, all of that pales in comparison Draymond’s latest misstep. Either by way of stupidity or ignorance (but most likely both), Draymond uploaded a picture of his presumably hideous package to his Snapchat Story for all of his followers to see. Ya know, the type of stuff nightmares are made of.

Unfortunately for Draymond, his Team USA teammates were quick to hop on the train of sh*t coming Draymond’s way, clowning on him left and right at the most recent Team USA practice.

I know I’m probably just being salty, but I’m thoroughly enjoying seeing Draymond take L after L. Something about the dude rubs me the wrong way.

Georgia, Apparently Following North Carolina’s Asinine Lead, Just Passed This Patently Ludicrous Law

Look, no one has ever considered the South to be like California or Oregon or Colorado, and we don’t expect them to be, but they reallyyyy gotta start trying a little harder. Actually, a lot harder. First, North Carolina planted their intolerance flag in the ground with their heinous LGBT law, so Georgia must have thought to themselves, “Sh*t! We better keep up the South’s hot streak of stupidity, so let’s make our own awful law as well!” And in terms of stupidity, Georgia really hit this one out of the park.

According to CBS:

“The Georgia Court of Appeals recently ruled invasion of privacy laws in Georgia do not include sneaking a photo up a woman’s skirt in public. If it is behind closed doors, like a dressing room, bathroom stall, the law protects against it, but if the same type of picture is taken in a supermarket or on the sidewalk, it is legal.”

YUPP. You read that correctly. The year is 2016, and in the great state of Georgia, you can literally walk up to a random lady in Stop & Shop and snap a quick pic of her cooch. Eeeeesh. Come on, South, get it together. You’re making us look bad (again). Even worse is the fact that this farce seems to be a result of not only stupidity but sheer laziness as well:

“In their 6-3 opinion the judges said the flaws are in the wording of the law, and it’s up to state lawmakers to fix it.”

State Senators like Vincent Fort said he is going to jump on this and make sure the law gets corrected at the next legislative session … which will take place NEXT SPRING.

“So we’re going to have six months or so where these creeps can run around doing this stuff,” said Fort.

Yeah, bro, NBD, just 6 months.

Dear Georgia lawmakers, look at this photo, and let it sink in that you’ve allowed this to be legal:

This entire country needs a major reality check f*ckin’ ASAP.

ASU Alpha Phi Recruitment Video

Today will be remembered as the day that Alpha Phi recruitment videos took over the internet. Not only did we get to check out a look into the lives of the USC Alpha Phis, we also get an incredible and almost unbelievable recruitment video from the ASU Alpha Phis. Is this the beginning of a second, much hotter “cold war”?

These ASU Alpha Phi sisters rented a helicopter, a hot air balloon and a pink jeep to film one of the best-produced recruitment videos we’ve ever seen. Obviously, it helps that they’re attractive college students having a good time, but the game has certainly changed. If you’re an incoming student at ASU, it’s a safe bet that these girls aren’t always flying around the grand canyon in a chopper or going cliff diving, but your chances of doing that kind of fun stuff definitely improve when you’re with them.

Check out the new best sorority recruitment video of 2016.

Benedict Cumberbatch Net Worth 2016: How Much is Benedict Cumberbatch Worth Right Now?

Benedict Cumberbatch Net Worth Today

Benedict Cumberbatch, more famously known as Sherlock Holmes, isn’t what I would call sexy. Although in this glitzy world of show business, you kinda have to be a sexy hunk of meat to catch people’s attention, this isn’t always the case. Perfect example? Benedict Cumberbatch. The 40-year-old actor managed to carve out a niche for himself, (and a nice piece of dough) playing detective, Frankenstein and Doctor Strange. Which in Cumberbatch’s own words are essentially “asexual, intellectual sociopaths.”

Moral of the story: you don’t have to look like a DiCaprio to feel like a million bucks. “Asexual, intellectual, sociopaths” become millionaires too.

Benedict Cumberbatch Net Worth as of 2016: $17 Million

Benedict Cumberbatch was born on July 19, 1976.  His parents were both actors but they did everything they could to keep their children out of acting. To no avail, though. Cumberbatch graduated from the University of Manchester and continued his training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, obtaining a Master of Arts in Classical Acting.


2006 – 2010

Even though he appeared as early as 2003 in the film To Kill a King, he didn’t land a major role until the 2006 film Amazing Grace, where he starred as William Pitt the Younger. Since then, he went on to collaborate with Keira Knightly for the first time in the 2007 film Atonement, and then again in The Imitation Game in 2014.

In 2007, Cumberbatch appeared in the comedy Starter for Ten produced by Tom Hanks and received a $246, 000 paycheck for the role.

Though he may not have known it, 2009 was a pivotal year for Cumberbatch. The actor starred in the film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Marple: Murder Is Easy. He played Luke Fitzwilliam, the ex-policeman/novice investigator who figures out the killer, but almost too late. Perhaps it was his novice detective prowess that eventually led to his casting as Sherlock Holmes, where everything that was supposed to happen, happened…


2010 – 2013

Ten years into the game, Cumberbatch had appeared in numerous shows, plays, films, but to the general public, he was still relatively unknown. In 2010, everything changed. His portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the joint BBC/PBS television series Sherlock became both a commercial and critical success. For the third episode of the third series of Sherlock, His Las Vow, Cumberbatch won an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie. In April 2015, he was nominated for his sixth British Academy Television Award for Best Leading Actor for the third series of Sherlock. In 2016, he was once again nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie, this time for Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.

The actor received $525,134 per season for playing detective.


2013 – 2016

“This century’s Olivier,” as Benedict Cumberbatch is called in mass media, earns approximately $1 million per movie, where he’s the leading act. In 2013, he played William Prince Ford in 12 Years a Slave, earning $230,000 for the role.

In the following year, he starred in The Imitation Game as British cryptographer Alan Turing, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and $1.2 million in pocket change.

In May 2014, he joined the cast of the film Black Mass opposite Johnny Depp which was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures worldwide and earned $946,000 for his performance.

Aside from his salary as an actor, he brings in roughly $300,000 from endorsements, guest appearances on shows and photo shoots for various magazines.

In 2015, Cumberbatch allegedly bought himself a huge mansion in Hidden Hills, California, a Tuscan villa with seven bedrooms, swimming pool and a hefty price tag of $14.2 million. When he’s not swimming in his villa, you might find him cheering in the stadium at Wimbledon or driving his infamous car, looking just as witty as Sherlock Holmes.

For $40,000, you too can travel like Sherlock.

 


Chinese Hurdler Mugged In Rio In Most Disgusting Way Ever

It’s no longer news that the Rio Summer Olympics are going to be a complete disaster, but we’re still enjoying reading all of the awful stuff that’s happening to the athletes. And just when we thought that today’s news of the Australian National Team getting robbed by Rio’s very own firefighters couldn’t be beat, we’ve learned the hilarious story of Chinese hurdler Shi Dongpeng.

Chinese hurdler Shi Donpeng had just arrived at his hotel in Brazil ahead of the start of the Olympics on Friday and was exhausted after the long journey from China.

However, a seemingly drunk man then ran into the hotel and rushed towards Shi before throwing up over him and running away. And according to the International Sport Press Association, while the athlete went to find the nearest bathroom in order to clean up, [Shi’s] cameraman gave chase to the drunk, and ran out of the hotel to try and find him.

However, less than a minute later when the cameraman returned to the hotel lobby, he found that all of their luggage was gone.

This is probably the biggest example of “insult to injury” I’ve read in 2016. Not only do you get some Brazilian guy’s puke on you, all of your stuff gets stolen. When the Rio police were standing in the airport with signs that read “Welcome to Hell,” I’m sure that none of us could have actually imagined the ingenuity of Rio’s criminals.

That being said, though, this guy is from China and people do sh*tty things all the time there. You’d think that he would know enough to bring his expensive equipment in with him to the bathroom.

WATCH: A Fake Andy Reid Held A Press Conference At Chiefs Training Camp

Fake Andy Reid Press Conference

It’s August, which means NFL training camps are underway. One month of pretending like we all care about diving and rowing and then the glory of spending 9 hours every Sunday sitting on the couch watching football comes back into our lives. But training camp is fantastic in its own right.

Take, for example, this legendary Andy Reid impersonator. With the real Kansas City Chiefs coach standing by, his doppelgänger got to speak with the press.

Fake Andy Reid has become an institution at Chiefs games, confusing fans at games by dressing up as the coach since 2012. But today was the first time Fake Andy Reid, whose real name is Chris Wilhelm, got to meet the real deal.



And maybe the best part is that the “play sheet” in his hand is actually a menu from his local pub called Rumplebrewskins in his hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

“That’s my cue, good looking,” the real Andy Reid told him when he was ready to take over. “C’mon, beautiful. Go get you a hamburger.”

The impersonator did a great job quickly making an impact in the little time he was allotted. When it comes to clock management, Fake Andy Reid just might be an upgrade over the real one.

Cassandre Davis: 22 Hottest Photos of Ronaldo’s Girlfriend

Cassandre Davis, an Instagram and fitness model, has been spotted hanging around Cristiano Ronaldo–so many are calling her CR7’s new girlfriend. The truth is that the two were just hanging around a pool in Miami and probably did actually hook up, but TMZ is running with the fact that she’s his girlfriend… so there’s that. TMZ also posted a couple of photos of the two kissing, hugging, and smiling, along with an interesting anecdote.

“At one point, a smokin’ hot friend came over and began smackin’ the lady on her butt — and no one complained.”

So whether or not these rumors of dating are true, we decided to investigate a bit more. And we liked what we found.

First off, she’s American and graduated from the University of Florida, so go Gators. Second, she’s got a phenomenal behind and isn’t afraid to show it off on Instagram. Third, we doubt she’s the kind of person who’ll be hurt when CR7 skips town and finds the next dimepiece. Check out her hottest photos below.

Remember The Cute Elderly Couple Whose Grandson Stole Their House? We May Have Found Them A New Home

Hank & Helen Kaweck

Last week, I published the story of Hank & Helen Kawecki, the downright adorable elderly couple who were screwed out of their home of 56 years by their scheming grandson. I found myself deeply upset by this story, which is surprising because when you work in media you almost become numb to the daily horrors or disappointments of the world. But there was something about the plight of this particular story that really hit home. Apparently, a lot of other people were just as upset as we were, and are doing everything they can to help. Some people are even going above and beyond.

On the morning of August 1, I received an email from a woman named Deborah, with the subject line: “I’m giving Hank and Helen a house if they’ll relocate.” The email details the desire of this clearly wonderful woman who was feeling upset over Hank & Helen’s situation and the message stated that she is even willing to donate one of her homes. Naturally, I hopped right on the phone to try and find out if both the offer, and Deborah herself, were real. And real they are.

Essentially, Deborah owns property in both South Carolina and Virgina, and depending on Helen & Hank’s ability to relocate, is willing to sign the deed to one of the homes over to the Kaweckis. Deborah, who sounded like an extremely sweet woman of her own right, was having trouble sleeping at night knowing that this innocent couple is being evicted out of their half-century old home. All she asked of us was that we try and put her in touch, somehow, with the Kaweckis. And that’s exactly what we did.

Through a little investigative journalism, we scoured the public records of the Kaweckis’ court case to find their lawyer Edward B. Elrod of Ventura, California. We reached out immediately.

According to Mr. Elrod:

“One of the main issues of the case is that Hank Kawecki suffers from dementia, which makes it difficult for them to relocate.”

While a relocation seems unlikely, we have connected Deborah and Mr. Elrod with hopes of them being able to figure out some sort of alternative donation. Mr. Elrod indicated that he would approach Deborah about the idea of selling the property and giving the proceeds to the Kaweckis. The proceeds of that home, along with the money raised through GoFundMe, should be enough drastically improve the Kaweckis’ situation. The GoFundMe account created for the Kaweckis has already raised about $115,000.

After today, Hank & Helen Kawecki’s future seems far brighter than it did a week ago, and we are truly honored to be playing a role in all of this. Nothing touches the soul like strangers helping strangers.

As for why Deborah wanted to do this, it’s simple. She cares about the well-being of her fellow man:

“I follow the news globally because of the frail state our world is in now and so I can pray. I saw your story the day it aired, on YouTube, and I sobbed. My heart ached. I knew that I had to do something. I donated but that wasn’t enough. I couldn’t sleep, eat or think right as my heart and mind stayed on Hank and Helen. So, I tried to reach them or someone who could put me in touch with them but, to no avail as I began receiving a flood of emails that were scammers or asking me to give my house to them. I no longer knew who to trust or talk to … I didn’t need to “think” about giving my house away. I immediately KNEW that I wanted to.  I can go live with one of my children until I find an affordable rental but what about Hank and Helen? They don’t have that option. I just lost both of my parents so when I saw your story I began viewing them as MY OWN PARENTS. “

Be sure to check back as we will update this post throughout the week with any new information we receive.

Here’s to you, Hank and Helen. Let’s get you home.

This Dude Who Writes Notes To & Gets In Fights With His Drunk-Self Is My Spirit Animal

Steve Davidson strikes me as a guy who introduces himself as “Steve F*CKING Davidson.” He also strikes me as a guy who knows how to crush brews. If this hilarious note he left to himself is any indication, I’d love to party with this guy.

The 30-year-old Australian, who refers to his sober-self as ‘Sober Steve’, left his alter ego, ‘Drunk Steve’ a letter on behalf of their mutual acquaintance, ‘Hangover Steve’:

To drunk Steve, please drink this bottle of water before bed then you can have the chicken wings in the fridge. Hangover Steve will thank you.

From Sober Steve.

However, Drunk Steve F*CKING Davidson was having none of it. His response to the p*ssy that is Sober Steve is just A1:

F*CK YOU SOVER STEVE. I DO WHAT I WANT.

PS: TELL SOBER HANGOVER STEVE HE’S A LIL BITCH.

But what was Sober Steve’s thoughts on all of this? He told The Mirror:

I wrote the note to hopefully lessen the hangover, as I’m now on the wrong side of 30, and they’re just getting worse and lasting longer.

I’m quite stubborn when drunk so when I saw the note I thought, “No one tells me what I can and can’t do,” so I replied, but I remember I kept getting confused to which Steve I was talking to, hence the crossed out sections.

My dude Steve sounds like a good time, sober or drunk.

Marijuana Use Now More Common Among Teens Than Binge Drinking

$

0

If a teenager with no knowledge of his drinking limits gets way too wasted, he or she becomes a danger to himself and everybody around him. But if a teenager gets way too blazed, all that’s going to happen is he or she’s going to be glued to the couch all night watching episodes of Bill Nye The Science Guy. So it’s never made too much sense to me growing up why most parents would prefer their kids drinking tons of booze than sparking up, besides the undeserved stigma weed gets for being illegal.

But a new report by ProjectKnow says American teenagers now say they are more likely to smoke pot than binge drink. Maybe the legality in states like Washington and Colorado has negated the anti-weed bias. Or maybe kids these days would just rather smoke a joint and then search for Pokémon than down a bunch of Busch Lights at a party and then try to get a handjob.

According to the report, these are the five jurisdictions (which is a fancy way to remind you D.C. is not a state) with the highest percentages of high school students who reported smoking marijuana in the past 30 days:

  1. D.C., 32.2 percent
  2. New Mexico, 27.8 percent
  3. Washington, 26.7 percent
  4. Connecticut, 26 percent
  5. Vermont 25.7 percent

And these are the five jurisdictions with the highest percentages of high school students who reported binge drinking in the past 30 days:

  1. West Virginia, 24.4 percent
  2. Montana, 23.5 percent
  3. New Jersey, 23 percent
  4. Iowa, 23 percent
  5. Arkansas 22.9 percent
Marijuana use now more popular than binge drinking among teens

(ProjectKnow)

As you can see, the middle of the country is still more booze-heavy among teenagers whereas coastal states tend to be more 420-friendly.

After months and months of unrelenting boredom, the NFL is finally nearing its return. No longer will you have to spend your Sundays hanging out with your family or enduring other godawful tasks. Say goodbye to trips to Bed Bath & Beyond, and hello to not leaving your couch for 12 straight hours.

This will be the 97th NFL season and the 51st season of the Super Bowl era. Last season ended with the Denver Broncos beating the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in the Super Bowl, and Peyton Manning’s giant forehead walking off into the sunset. Because time is a flat circle and the NFL knows how to get ridiculous ratings, the 2016 season will kick off with a Super Bowl 50 rematch. Let’s break down the first games of the NFL regular season and preseason, which I’m sure will feature half of my fantasy team blowing out their knees.


When Does The NFL Season Start?

The 2016 NFL season will kick off on Thursday, September 8, 2016 at 8:30 PM EST. The preseason will begin with the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday, August 7, 2016 at 8:00 PM EST.

Need Someone To Design Your Dorm Room? How About Kanye West?

Kanye West IKEA

(Getty)

‘I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream’ is a Taylor Swift lyric. It’s also an apt way to describe IKEA, which seems great until you realize you have to somehow find your way through what is basically a giant maze to get out. And similar to what he said about Taylor Swift in his song Famous, Kanye West says he hopes to one day f**k with IKEA.

As Mashable writes,

In a new interview with the BBC, West expressed just how important it was for him to design for Ikea. “I have to work with Ikea, make furniture for interior design, for architecture,” he told BBC Radio 1.

What he’s most interested in? Creating “a minimalist apartment inside of a college dorm.”

“Yo Ikea, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes.”

I’m pretty sure that the average college student doesn’t need too much help if they want to design their dorm room in a minimalist fashion. But then again, Kanye did design the highest-selling sneakers of all-time, so I should probably just shut my mouth.

If IKEA lets Kanye into the dorm-room design business they should have him also help you install the furniture, since that’s really the only concern of any college student who’s getting their things for their dorm at IKEA. A table is easy, but trying to put together one of those beds can be an absolute disaster. And Kanye even said, while telling the lengthy story of how he got signed on the song Last Call from his first album, “You know, we went to Ikea, I bought a bed, I put the bed together myself.”

Anyway, we’ll have to wait and see if Kanye starts designing for IKEA. Now for this comedy bit explaining why that place is actually Swedish hell.

August Xbox One Games

After a couple of slowish months, the Xbox One major release pipeline is heating back up again in August. Sports gamers will be in heaven, with two big-time sims in the form of F1 2016 and Madden NFL 17. There is also a pair of promising new expansions in the form of Dead Island: Retro Revenge and Killer Instinct: Season 3. But the most anticipated release of all may be none of those but instead the long-awaited stealth and hacking-minded cyberpunk sequel Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Here’s a look at the best Xbox One games coming out in August:


5. Dead Island: Retro Revenge

Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Deep Silver
Release date: August 1

Dead Island has snuck under the radar to become one of the most popular zombie games on the market, and its several expansions and remasters have only solidified its spot as the king of undead games. Retro Revenge, which comes packaged in the Definitive Collection anthology, looks to push the exploration and scavenging aspects of the game even further, with a retro twist.

4. F1 2016

Publisher: Codemasters
Developer: Codemasters Birmingham
Release date: August 19

Get geared up for the international racing season by checking out this authentic sim, which replicates the globe-hopping, hairpin-filled courses of open wheel racing. Codemasters is looking to shift the series into a higher gear by adding realistic weather, course degradation and vehicle damage.

PRE-ORDER: F1 2016 here


3. Killer Instinct: Season 3

Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Developer: Double Helix Games
Release date: August 31

An Xbox One launch titled back in 2013, Killer Instinct has taken the unorthodox track of going free-to-play with its base game, then charging gamers for individual fighters. Entering its third year, the latest expansion comes for $20 and is available only via download. Snap up the latest upgrades, along with a host of other in-game goods, by grabbing a code.

2. Madden NFL 17

Publisher: EA Sports
Developer: EA Tiburon
Release date: August 23

Instead of totally revamping a system that has worked for years, EA Tiburon is staying the course and tweaking gameplay with incremental upgrades to make the gameplay, visuals and presentation more realistic and fun. That may not seem exciting, but since the franchise has hit its stride this generation, it wouldn’t make sense to fix what ain’t broke. If you are a football fan, this is your game.

1. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Release date: August 23

Reviving a franchise that stretches back decades, this hacking and stealth-based action-RPG hybrid makes its current-gen debut by following up the invigorating last-gen reboot. Open-ended gameplay, intense voice performances and a branching story look to make this game a replayable obsession that will keep fans buying for months.

This Pilot Takes No Sh*t, Straight Bodies A Drunken Passenger

American Airlines Pilot vs. Drunk Passenger

Being a pilot is a serious responsibility. People will try and downplay what a pilot actually does, thanks to the advanced technology of autopilot systems, etc. but nonetheless, I feel like a pilot has gotta have some balls. A pilot needs to be ready to do what is necessary at any moment, no questions asked. In this case, the unnamed pilot was flying on an American Airlines flight from Lexington, Kentucky, to Charlotte, North Carolina

When Michael Kerr, a 25-year-old from Kentucky, started drunkenly stirring up sh*t, Super Pilot had an internal discussion and came to the conclusion of, “Nope. I ain’t havin’ it. Not on my flight.”

Kerr was trying to get off the plane (why are drunk people always doing that?) when the flight crew tried to get the lightweight doucher to calm down and take a seat like everyone else. And yes, I know he’s a lightweight, because according to the Charlotte Observer, the dude only had THREE Jack Daniels before this incident. Dude, get a f*cking grip and hold your liquor. I use to have three Jack Daniels before 10 on a night out.

Kerr was banned from flying after appearing in court on charges of being intoxicated and disruptive, assault on a female and communicating threats. However, I think the biggest punishment of all is this video being on the internet and attached to YOUR NAME forever.

LOL, found his mugshot, check out this winner:
