Monster Hunter Generation game

@MonsterHunterGame/Instagram

The latest Nintendo Direct streamed today at 7:00 A.M. EST /10:00 A.M. PST on their Japanese YouTube channel. For the uninitiated, a Nintendo Direct is a cleverly disguised press conference in the form of a video about what fans should expect from Nintendo in the future.

The last Nintendo Direct discussed the highly anticipated Pokemon Sun and Moon and the previously unannounced Pikmin and Yoshi’s Wooly World 3ds adaptations. This new Nintendo Direct will be exclusively about Monster Hunter. (Sorry Nintendo Switch fans.)

Now, we know what a Nintendo Direct is but do we know what Monster Hunter is? (If you don’t know then, by all means, please watch this direct!)

 Monster Hunter is an action-adventure, strategy, online, and offline RPG collectathon where you hunt beasts of all kinds with weapons of all kinds and then wear their pretty textures as armor. A giant sea dragon that shoots lightning? You can wear that. A fluffy alpaca or a volcanic alligator? You can wear that too, as long as you successfully hunt it. And how do you hunt? Currently, Monster Hunter Generations offers a total of 14 different weapons from gun lances to long swords.

The bottom line is this. Monster Hunter is challenging fun that caters to how players choose to play. For those of us who can’t wait for Pokemon Sun and Moon or Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild, be sure to check out the latest Nintendo Direct.

Thank. God. I’ve hated Vine since jump street. Six second long videos that loop? You know who that’s for? Anyone born after the year 2000. And Vine stars… GOOD LORD. Don’t get me started on Vine stars. Just a bunch of millennials with ADD who have no shame… That’s all they are.

Statement from Twitter, via Medium:

Since 2013, millions of people have turned to Vine to laugh at loops and see creativity unfold. Today, we are sharing the news that in the coming months we’ll be discontinuing the mobile app.

Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today. We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You’ll be able to access and download your Vines. We’ll be keeping the website online because we think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made. You will be notified before we make any changes to the app or website.

Thank you. Thank you. To all the creators out there — thank you for taking a chance on this app back in the day. To the many team members over the years who made this what it was — thank you for your contributions. And of course, thank you to all of those who came to watch and laugh every day.

What’s next? We’ll be working closely with creators to make sure your questions are answered and will work hard to do this the right way. We’ll be sharing more details on this blog and our Twitter account, and will notify you through the app when we start to change things.

Today, the good folks from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue blessed us with an outtakes video from Bojana Krsmanovic’s 2016 shoot. This was Bojana’s first year as an SI Swimsuit model, but it’s obvious that she’ll be gracing those coveted magazine pages for years to come. Bo knows swimsuits.

Have mercy. I didn’t think it was possible to fit so much sexiness into just 61 seconds. Bojana’s outtakes video also demonstrates why there should be an outdoor shower on every street corner in the country. Forget the economy and gun control, the Presidential candidate that is willing to put that plan into effect has my vote.

Bojana is 24-years-old, and she is from Belgrade, Serbia. Besides bringing the heat in last year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Bojana has done ad campaigns for brands such as Guess and Intimissimi. This is actually the first time we’ve featured Bo at COED, but I can promise you that it will not be the last. Come hell or high water, I will bring you more of this exotic stunner. That is my pledge to you.

If you know anything about me, you know I’m a huge Rachel Bush guy. Just an all around A+ chick who also has the added benefit of appearing like she’s the next step in human evolution. Well, as it turns out, she’s in the running for our annual Miss COED contest.

Our Miss COED contest is a massive competition in which we try to find confident college women who are involved in their respective universities, who maintain a high GPA, who are active on social media, and who have major pride in their school. Over 200 girls from all over the nation are entered this year in what is sure to be our most competitive year yet!

So today, being the good COED employee I am, I was scrolling through the voting page casting my votes for the day, when I noticed Rachel Bush was one of the contestants. As one of my favorite WCWs, needless to say, I was hyped. You can probably guess which Miss COED I voted for in Conference USA.

Point being is that our Miss COED contest is LOADED with awesome girls like Rachel Bush, and the only way to find the best one is to go vote your favorite for Miss COED 2017.

There Are Now Apparently Robot Gynecologists And Yup, The World Is Coming To An End

First, cars start driving themselves, and now robots can perform complex medical surgeries. And of all of the forms of medicine that exist in the world, they go with making a robot gyno? What kind of sick people are working in the technological field of medicine?

According to Uproxx, a robot called the DaVinci allows the gynecologist “to operate with enhanced vision, precision, and control.” The doctor sits behind this “advanced surgical tool that allows doctors to operate minimally invasively for many procedures.” The possibilities of this robotic gynecologist assistant can be revolutionary, which can mean patients recover in less time, lose less blood, feel less pain, and possibly suffer less damage to fragile and sensitive nerves and the surrounding organs. This can also mean fewer infections, which is extremely important. It looks like this, AKA pretty f*cking horrifying:

The DaVinci robot doesn’t look all too pretty. It looks like something out of the Alien vs. Predator franchise. At this time, this doctor’s helper has been used to take out tumors from the uterus and handle “pelvis issues.” The gynecologist completely controls the robot and can look inside a patient’s body with magnified, 3D, HD images. Here’s a video that will help you get familiar with this innovative piece of medical equipment:

Robots aren’t taking over yet. No need to look out for any T-1000. Humans still control the robot, and this device “bends and rotates far better than the human wrist,” so this has upped the gynecology game and may make procedures much safer, less painful, and less strenuous. There are already different DaVinci models out there from urological to colorectal to cardiac to head and neck.

Four cold robotic arms operating on your downstairs doesn’t seem like the ideal kind of date. But the world of medical (and robotic) technology is increasing by the day, and has been benefiting us humans greatly! In May of this year, there was even an article about robotic meat magnets made from dried up pig intestines that unfold in the stomach and help guide something as odd as batteries to the colon. Now, who would swallow batteries? Who knows? But there’s a tiny robot for that. I wonder what type of robot will come up next? And I wonder what the future beholds for the DaVinci as it is still relatively new and evolving with its application in the robotic and medical market.

Thr Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans face off tonight for some Thursday Night Football. The 2-5 Jaguars will be taking on the 3-3 Titans in Nashville.

Thursday’s matchup is supposed to be a battle of two young, up-and-coming franchise quarterbacks. However, neither Blake Bortles nor Marcus Mariota is playing at the level their franchises had hoped for. Even with that said, the winner of tonight’s game will only be one game behind the division-leading Texans. And considering the way Houston has played this season, the AFC South is as wide open as any division in the NFL.

While tonight’s game may not feature teams with the greatest records, there is still plenty at stake, so tonight’s action is sure to be exciting, so make sure you find out how to live stream it below!

Colin Kaepernick Net Worth 2016: How Much Is Colin Kaepernick Worth Now?

Colin Kaepernick Net Worth 2016

Whether you’re an avid football fan or just someone who skims news headlines, you’ve probably come across Colin Kaepernick’s name. In just a few years, he’s made a name for himself both on and off the field. This quarterback has gone from starting for the San Francisco 49ers to sparking political revolutions in sports. Whatever your opinion is of Colin Kaepernick, one thing is for sure, he’s sitting on quite a bit of cash.

Colin Kaepernick Net Worth: $2 Million

Where’d all that green come from?


2011

Kaepernick is snatched up by the 49ers as they trade picks with the Denver Broncos from the thirteenth round and select Kaepernick as the fourth pick in the second round. His first contract was struck with San Francisco for a cool $375,000, with a signing bonus of half a million dollars according to Spotrac. His future seemed uncertain as his consistency wavered from game to game. The 49ers would, however, go on to finish first in the NFC West.


2012

This year would see Kaepernick score his first touchdown, against the New York Jets. Kaepernick would also see his first start in a game as his teammate Alex Smith recovered from a concussion. Proving himself in multiple games, Kaepernick was given the starting position for the rest of the season. He also went on to break records in the postseason, eventually reaching the Super Bowl. Fortune, however, smiled on the Ravens as the 49ers go on to lose 31-34. His base salary also almost doubled this year, raking in $607,922!


2013

Kaepernick seemed to shake off the Super Bowl loss quickly and break records in his very first game of the year against Green Bay. The 2013 season is kind to Kaep as he passes for 3/197 yards, 21 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions. Sadly some of these interceptions came at the worst time, the NFC championship game. The 49ers lose to the Seahawks, ending the season. Kaepernick still made a whopping $740,844!


2014

Kaepernick was fined multiple times in 2014. He was first fined for using profane language on the field, and then for wearing his Beats headphones to a post game conference. These fines might add up to $21,000 but he remained unphased. Kaepernick signed a contract extension with San Francisco for the next six years, for $114 million!


2015

San Francisco’s starting quarterback struggled this season. With declining numbers and a shoulder injury, Kaep is replaced by Blaine Gabbert. Collin missed the rest of the 2015 season, but still managed to pass for 1,165 yards before being benched. He also walks away from this year with over $10 million.


2016

Gabbert continued to start for the San Francisco 49ers with Kaepernick as his backup. He didn’t take this sitting down, as he continued to try and regain his position as a starter. He did, however, begin to sit down for the national anthem, sparking nationwide controversy. Kaepernick decided to use his elevated platform as an athlete to try affecting change and start a national dialogue on race in America. Kaepernick became a polarizing force in sports, but no matter your opinion of him, he walks away with almost $12 million as his base salary for 2016.

This young quarterback recently restructured his contract and has shown that he is ambitious and driven. Only time will tell if he remains a 49er or will move on to another team to chase greatness.

The Knicks Will Continue To Be A Pile A Crap Until They Fix These 4 Problems

The new-look New York Knicks kicked off the NBA season with quite the bang… just kidding. They got blasted by 29 points to the Cavaliers, in what was the greatest day in the history of Cleveland. I don’t think very many people were expecting the Knicks to win the other night, but it would have been up if they at least showed up for the second half.

Look, I’m a Knicks fan and want to see them do great, but I’m not stupid enough to think that they can realistically be a contender this year, or the year after, or the year after, and so on. The main problem with the Knicks is having a dip shit of an owner, and because I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon, they’re going to be stuck where they are for the foreseeable future.

Fortunately for the Knicks, I’m a fantastic problem solver and can help save the franchise. Alright, that’s a lie because my life is a mess, but just bare with me on this. Here are the steps I would take (hypothetically speaking) to help turn the future of the franchise around and get them back on top. Okay, getting to the top is a bit unrealistic, so let’s settle for back to being respectable.


1. Build the Entire Team Around Kristaps Porzingis

Kristaps Porzingis

This one isn’t rocket science. I’ll admit that I was one of the assholes that booed Porzingis when the Knicks drafted him in 2015 because European players don’t pan out in the NBA for the most part, and I was gladly wrong about the Big Zingis; so here is my formal apology for ever doubting him. Anyways, the problem for Porzingis is that he plays in a starting lineup with two guys who are going to take over 20 shots a game in Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. I’m a big fan of both players, but you can’t win if you have two guys who average about 45% shooting from the floor taking a majority of the team’s shots. Porzingis is clearly the future of the team, and if you want to develop him you need to start getting him more shots; the guy is Dirk 2.0. My quick fix would be to fine Derrick Rose $10,000 for every shot he misses when his field goal attempts are over 15 for the game; that way he’ll learn to move the ball around more because he is the point guard, for God’s sake. The same goes for Carmelo, but I’d let him shoot 20 times a game because he’s a better scorer.


2. Scrap the Triangle Offense

Triangle Offense

Here’s a fun fact for you: the Triangle Offense sucks. President Phil Jackson implemented the system when he was signed back in 2014 because it’s the only system he’s known since he was in the NBA. Newsflash Zen Master- MJ, Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq aren’t walking through that door anytime soon to help make your crappy offense work. Jackson has recently admitted that the offense is outdated, which proves that he’s somewhat self-aware and not just a crazy old man. Head coach Jeff Hornacek said he wants to speed up the triangle this year, whatever the hell that means, but that’s not how the NBA is today. Instead of just speeding up an offense that doesn’t work, how about you just try running an up-tempo offense where you aren’t last in the league in fast break points, which is how many of the teams succeed in the league today, you know like the Warriors? So scrap the Triangle offense, and really anything that resembles a triangle at Madison Square Garden as well. I’m talking coat hangers, tortilla chips (Tostitos Scoops are far better anyways), pizza slices (crust is overrated, square slices all day), lampshades in the locker room if there are any, billiards racks, and any type of triangular cut sandwiches. Just get yourselves as far away from the Triangle as possible.


3. Trade Melo

This one is a bit tough for me because I’m a big Carmelo guy. I was excited when they traded for him back in 2011, but one playoff series win during his time in New York in a shitty Eastern Conference just proves he’s never going to win a title as the top dog on the team. If he wanted to start being the second fiddle to Porzingis as I previously mentioned, then hell yeah you’re staying, but the problem with that is an NBA player of his caliber has too big of an ego to do that. Yeah, I know he’s got a no-trade clause built into his latest deal and has no plans on waiving it, but if the Knicks suck for long enough (they will) he could consider going to another team. I would personally try trading him to the Clippers, because A.) they’re a big market team with a chance at contending for a title, and B.) you could possibly get Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan for him because the two of them and Chris Paul are never going to win a title together, so why not shake things up. Also, for the record, Doc Rivers is an overrated coach, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s make this deal happen Clippers, let Melo play with his buddy CP3, and give us Blake Griffin in return.


4. Ban Spike Lee From Sitting Courtside

Ban Spike Lee

The Knicks have not won a championship since Spike Lee started sitting courtside, and that’s a fact. They last won a title in 1973, and he made his first movie in 1983, so there’s no way he was famous enough or wealthy enough to sit courtside back then. Ever since he started showing his face in the front row during the ’90s (I think that’s when, but I have no idea), the team has suffered through heartbreak after heartbreak. I’ll give him a pass for the Knicks having to deal with Michael Jordan in the ’90s, that one isn’t on him, but they managed to make the Finals twice in years he was retired and they lost both times. The ’90s Knicks were awesome and it was a goddamn travesty they didn’t win a championship. Since then, they’ve made the playoffs five times. A lot of the team’s misery comes from James Dolan being a jackass, but nobody is putting enough blame on Spike and the curse he’s placed on the Knicks ever since he started sitting in Celebrity Row. My quick fix is to ban him from sitting courtside, but because I’m not a jerk who thinks he shouldn’t be allowed to go to Knicks games at all, put him up in one of the luxury suites so he’s still living the good life. Also maybe it’s just me, but Spike Lee kind of comes across as kind of an asshole.

As brilliant as my solutions may be to solving the Knicks’ problems, their biggest problem will always be their incompetent douchebag of an owner in James Dolan, who is less qualified to run an NBA franchise than my dog is (black Lab, for all those wondering). Sit tight Knick fans, we’re going to be sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for the next few years.


Texas A&M Student Crashes Into Police Car After Taking Topless Snapchat Photo

A Texas A&M freshman made some exceptionally poor decisions this past Wednesday night. We’re not talking about the usual Hump Day shenanigans like drinking way too much Rikaloff Vodka and striking out with that cute chick in your Bio class either. We’re talking about extreme horny recklessness.

A police officer had parked his car in the southbound outside lane on the 2500 block of East Villa Maria Road while he checked out a disturbance call. He had his emergency flashers on, but I guess that wasn’t enough for Miranda Kay Rader, as the 19-year-old crashed into the rear of his car. From The Eagle:

As the officer approached the SUV, he observed Miranda Kay Rader with her bra unfastened trying to put her shirt back on. She told the officer that she was driving back to her dorm on campus and had been sending a Snapchat picture to her boyfriend while stopped at a red light, according to the police report.

Rader, who told the officer she was not injured, also had an open bottle of wine in the vehicle, the report says. She failed parts of a field sobriety test, according to the officer’s report, and was taken to the hospital for a blood draw.

She was charged with driving while intoxicated with an open container, a Class B misdemeanor, and ticketed for being a minor in possession of alcohol.

Kids these days. Sending some sexy Snaps to your man is great, but not when you’re boozed up and driving. Take an Uber back to your dorm, and then take a bunch of pictures with your titties out like a responsible adult. Mess around with the lighting, throw in some classy filters, have a goddamn hour-long photo shoot if you want. But don’t endanger your life and the lives of other motorists with your wanton behavior.

Rader was released on Thursday morning after she posted bail. No word on when that topless selfie will be released, though.

The Hacker Responsible For ‘The Fappening’ Was Sentenced To Just 18 Months In Prison

There goes that American justice system — just being absolutely incompetent. Leave it to the United States to arrest pot smokers and put them in jail for years but to let sexual deviants who affected hundred of lives walk in a year in a half. Ryan Collins, who hacked into Apple’s iCloud service in 2014 to release the private photos of numerous female celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

According to Uproxx, investigators found that Collins had access to “at least 50 Apple iCloud accounts and 72 Gmail accounts,” the majority of which “belonged to female celebrities,” according to prosecutors.

In a statement released Thursday, Pennsylvania U.S. attorney Bruce Brandler said that “Collins engaged in a sophisticated phishing scheme to obtain usernames and passwords for his victims. He sent e-mails to victims that appeared to be from Apple or Google and asked victims to provide their usernames and passwords. When the victims responded, Collins then had access to the victims’ e-mail accounts.”

There were over 600 victims in the so-called “Fappening,” including Lawrence, whose representatives called the hack “a flagrant violation of privacy.” Collins had originally faced five years in prison but was able to plea down to 18 months.

I’ve never had any noodz of mine leaked (because who wants to see that shit), so I can’t speak about how the victims feel, but if I’m one of them, I’m PISSED. Those pictures will be on the internet FOREVER, and this guy is going to able to walk free before the start of like 2018. What a load of shit.

The American Justice system: consistently inconsistent.

Most-Wanted Drug Dealer Turns Himself In Because He Couldn’t Handle The Stress Of Being On The Run

I feel like if you’re going to commit to a life of crime, you should really stay committed to the bitter end, ya know? Like at a certain point after you’ve already moved some serious drug weight, you really just need to accept the fact that there’s probably not going to be a happy ending. Ride that shit to the end, don’t give in. I don’t know, maybe that’s my imaginary inner drug dealer talking, but if I found myself up shit creek, I’d keep swimming until I drowned.

According to Metro, Robert Gerrard, 53, made arrangements to meet National Crime Agency officers at Central Park Police Station in Manchester, England, because the ‘pressure of being on the run had got too much for him.’

Gerrard, the third “Most Wanted” fugitive in England, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to import cocaine in a $60 million drug plot. That’s a lot of yip.

Naturally, the agency that caught him starting getting all cocky. Greg McKenna, Regional Head of Investigations for the NCA, said, “Robert Gerrard handing himself in shows the impact we are having with our most wanted campaigns.”

Dude just couldn’t handle the stress. You know what they say to do when you can’t handle the heat? Stop making dinner because your cooking f*cking sucks.

Meet Kealia Ohai: Houston Dash Forward & J.J. Watt’s Girlfriend

It hasn’t been the best year for Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, as he was only able to play in three games before needing season-ending surgery on his back. But thankfully for Watt, he has soccer player Kealia Ohai to nurse him back to health. It’s been rumored that they’ve been together for awhile, and now it’s confirmed that the pair is officially an item. I guess Watt knew what he was doing all along when he didn’t try to slide into Lindsey Pelas’ DMs. What a wily son of a bitch!

Ohai is actually Brian Cushing’s sister-in-law, so I’m guessing that’s how his couple got together. She is a 24-year-old forward, and she is from Draper, Utah. She played college ball at the University of North Carolina, and she had a prolific career as a Tar Heel. She started all four years and was a key contributor in their 2012 National Championship. After college, she was drafted as the second overall pick by the Houston Dash in the 2014 NWSL College Draft.

On the international circuit, Ohai came through with a ridiculously clutch goal for the United States during the 2012 FIFA U-20 World Cup. She scored the game-winning goal in the final match to beat Germany 1-0. It was the only goal Germany had allowed all tournament. She has also previously played for the U.S.’ U-23 team, and she is currently on the roster for the national women’s team.

Now that we have a little background info on Kealia Ohai, let’s take a look at some of the hottest photos of J.J. Watt’s badass girlfriend.

WATCH: Kevin Durant Taunts Himself While Practicing

The Golden State Warriors got blown out on opening night, as the San Antonio Spurs came into Oracle Arena and throttled them 129-100. It was really no big deal, considering it was only GAME ONE of an 82-game season. But because the Warriors choked away a 3-1 lead in the Finals and added Kevin Durant to their squad this year, every single thing this team does will be put under a microscope.

It seems that Durant is using this scrutiny to try to motivate himself. Here’s a video of Durant trash talking himself while working on his jump shot at practice.

Via ESPN:

Shooting his last shots, Durant said, “They told me I ain’t have no drive! I’m out here. They called me a coward! Putting in work.”

When asked after his session about shouting criticisms, Durant explained, “That’s what I say to myself when I’m working. I hear it all the time. You hear the noise. You hear what they say about you. Everybody hears it. So it’s a little extra motivation when you hear it.”

I’ve always thought this kind of stuff was ridiculous. Why in the hell would Kevin Durant care about what dipshits in the media have to say? Like “Oh man, I better work on my game extra hard now. Gotta prove Skip Bayless wrong!” Their opinions are totally irrelevant. You would think winning a goddamn championship would be motivation enough, but I guess Durant needs to add some outside fuel to the fire.

Even though I’d consider myself a Kevin Durant fan, I’m still hoping the Warriors’ season ends in disastrous fashion. What can I say? Some men just like to watch the world burn.

Bachelor Party Stumbles Upon A Bunch Of Puppies In The Woods, Adopts Them All

You know what’s better than being at a bachelor party with a bunch of your boys? Being at a bachelor party with your boys and coming home with a brand new puppy. Especially one that you literally save from the harsh reality of nature.

Via ABC:

Mitchel Craddock of Vicksburg, Michigan, took family and friends to the woods in Tennessee for his bachelor party. The first morning there, they noticed a dog outside the front door.

“We were cooking bacon with the door open. The next thing you know, there’s this dog sitting right at the front door. She wouldn’t come inside, but she sat right there,” he told ABC News.

Right off the bat you know this is an OG dog. Following the scent of bacon? That dog’s got its shit together. Craddock and his squad quickly became friends with the dog.

“She was such a sweet dog that once we gained her trust, she was happy to see us, wagging her tail — just a big sweetheart,” he said.

Craddock said he could tell the dog recently had puppies but also noticed that she was dehydrated and malnourished, meaning her milk for her babies had dried up.

“After we gave her a bunch of food and water, she started producing milk again. So we figured if she’s making milk, her pups can’t be that old,” he told ABC News.

Then Craddock noticed the dog was protecting a specific spot in the woods. When the boys went to investigate, they found a big hole with seven puppies inside of it.

“We set each pup individually down in front of her, and she nuzzled their faces, and she checked out the pups, and to the person holding them, she gave the look of ‘It’s OK, I trust you,’” Craddock said.

All eight dogs, including the mom, were adopted by the groom and his groomsmen or their relatives. Just one big happy family of bros and dogs. Gotta love it.

Betting on the NBA is the height of stupidity, especially when it’s the beginning of the season and you don’t know a goddamn thing about any of the teams, but all of us degenerates do it anyways because quitters never win. Now as confident as I feel with my weekly football picks, these basketball picks are going to be an absolute train wreck; it would be nuts if I went close to .500 this year. So for all those who want to laugh at my pain and go against all my picks on the season, sit back, enjoy the ride, and let’s get going with tonight’s slate of games.


Cavaliers -2.5 @ Raptors

I feel like this may be a sucker’s bet, but whatever. The Cavs are far and away the best team in the East, and I think that they should win this game pretty handily. My guess is that this is Lebron’s last run as an MVP, so I don’t think they’ll start taking nights off until we get a few weeks into the season. Toronto is definitely not a team to underestimate, but I think King James (dumb ass nickname) and company will take care of business tonight. I’d also like to give a shout out to the Raptors for having one the best jerseys in the history of sports, so you at least have that to be proud of while Cleveland is pounding your faces in this season.


Pacers -6.5 @ Nets: Lock of the Week

I love Paul George, Myles Turner is on my fantasy team, the Pacers Hickory throwback jerseys are my arguably the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and oh yeah, the Nets suck ass and are the worst team ever assembled. I also hate the Nets because they thought they were hot shit moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, and their stupid Russian owner thought he was going to come to America and sign all the big name free agents back in 2010. Piss off, dude and find another country to take your lack of ownership skills to. I’ll be going against the Nets a lot this year, if you couldn’t tell.


Suns +9.5 @ Thunder

Another game I don’t feel great about because I never feel great about betting on the NBA, but I do it anyways because I’m a moron, but I think this is one of those weird games where the Suns can pull off an upset or at least cover. I’m still stupid enough to think that the Suns are a high scoring team like they were with Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire, so that’s my thought process on this pick, feel free to pick against me. I’d also like to point out that I was an early passenger on the Russell Westbrook train, so I’m going to need a lot of you bandwagoners to get off and go find someone else to root for.


Lakers +8.5 @ Jazz

I think the Lakers may surprise some people this year. Kobe is one of my all-time favorites, but he took a hundred shots a game, was a huge asshole, and probably wasn’t that fun to play with. This Lakers team is super young and I think they’ll end up playing well together. Granted they won’t make the playoffs this year, but I think they’re going to be in a lot of close games. I also hate the Jazz, and I have no rhyme or reason behind that feeling. Nice championships in the ’90s, Karl Malone and John Stockton, losers.


Mavericks vs. Rockets UNDER 221

Both of these teams play no defense whatsoever, so there’s a 98% chance this one goes over, but when everyone else zigs I zag. I’m banking on a bad shooting night from the floor from both teams and MVP candidate James Harden maybe trying to play some defense… who am I kidding I could maybe get a bucket on him, plus he’s probably going to go for 50. Whatever, I’m sticking with the under.

Love having the NBA back, nothing like throwing down some money on a meaningless Tuesday night Pelicans – Kings game in mid-January. As always, I feel terrible about all of these picks, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take… or some inspirational shit like that. Saddle up ladies and gents, because we are in for a long season. Let’s go.

Juicy Gossip Of The Day: Drake & Taylor Swift Are Rumored To Be Dating

It was already a big week for Drake. The hip-hop superstar celebrated his 30th birthday, dropped some new music, announced his More Life project, and had Alex Trebek rap “Jumpman” on Jeopardy!. But Drake’s week could be getting even bigger, as some interesting rumors hit the web after his birthday party. In a sentence I never thought I’d type in a million years, Drake and Taylor Swift might be dating.

Via Page Six:

We’re told after the dinner, Drake joined Swift in her booth, where they “were intimately flirting, talking closely and laughing. The only person he spent more time with other than his mom was Taylor,” the source said.

And here’s more juicy gossip from The Sun:

While another insider told Hollywood Life: “Drake was cozy with Taylor all night long. They were all up on each other – no kissing – but touching each and other and cheeking (sic).”

TMZ is reporting that even though Drake introduced Taylor to his mother at his birthday party, they are still just friends. Drake and Taylor being an official item is pretty unlikely and that might be for the greater good. If they really did get together, I legitimately think the internet would explode. I know people joke all the time about “breaking the internet,” but this might actually do it. I’m talking about everything going off the grid from meme overloads, leading to a riots-in-the-street type of chaos.

Maybe that Beats 1 Radio commercial was trying to tell us something. #StayWoke

I’m Throughly Impressed With This Kid That Busts Out The People’s Elbow During An Actual Street Fight

First things first: WHAT is this song and WHERE did it come from? One day I’ve never heard of it, next thing I know it’s in every viral video I see and it makes everything infinitely funnier.

Anyway, no context of what’s going on here. I can’t tell if it’s just bros being dudes or if they’re actually beefin’. If this kid busted out a suplex and a people’s elbow in the middle of an actual brawl, I have endless respect for him. That’s a power move if I’ve ever seen one.

Stranger Things was one of the best shows of the year, and A Charlie Brown Christmas is the greatest animated holiday television special of all-time. That’s right, I said it. The Grinch, Frosty, Rudolph, and everyone else can suck it, Charlie Brown rules.

Now that my hot take is out of the way, let’s get down to business. Some mad geniuses decided to make a mashup out of Stranger Things and A Charlie Brown Christmas, and I can’t believe how amazing it turned out. I was pleasantly surprised that these two universes were able to work together so perfectly.

Here’s the mashup, which is entitled A Stranger Things Christmas.

Such a great video. I couldn’t stop laughing when everybody started dancing to the Stranger Things theme song. Those funky synths are an absolute treasure.

The ending was perfect too. Barb was a kind, good-natured, responsible, intelligent young woman, and yet, no one gave a shit that she got eaten by some creepy monster. What a goddamn shame. The Duffer brothers promised justice for Barb in Season 2, and they better come through for her. If they pull the football away from us like Lucy used to do to Charlie, I’m filling my tub up with salt and going to the Upside Down to whip some ass myself.

People Think This Is A Video Of Conor McGregor Breaking Up A School Yard Fight

I mean, at the time of this writing, it has over 1.6 million views in 17 hours, so people obviously suspect something. In all reality, it probably isn’t, but it’s justtttt close enough that it causes a moment of doubt. Sure as hell sounds and looks like him.

The 28-year-old Irishman is currently in Ireland at his SBG training base training for his November 12 fight against Eddie Alvarez in New York at UFC 205, so it’s unlikely he’s just strolling through a park dressed to the nines. But the suit does look JUST like one he wears and the voice sounds CLOSE enough to McGregor’s that people are going to truly believe it’s him.

This event will be the first UFC event hosted in New York City. It will also be the first UFC event hosted in the state of New York after the longtime professional MMA ban was revoked in early 2016. The McGregor-Alvarez fight will be the second time in UFC history that champions in different divisions will fight for the same title.

Kid Cudi Responds To Drake’s Diss Track, Tells Him to “Say It To My Face, P*ssy”

Kid Cudi Drake feud

We got ourselves a good ol’ fashioned rap beef!

The Kid Cudi vs. Drake feud is starting to heat up. Before we find out how Cudi responded to Drake, let’s take a look at the beginnings of the feud.


The Beginnings of Kid Cudi vs. Drake

For those keeping track at home, the saga of Kid Cudi vs. Drake has been going on for a few months now. It all started when Kid Cudi took a shot at Drake for using ghostwriters, which Drake has been accused of before. Then, Cudi called out Kanye West as well, saying that he’s not there for him anymore in time of need. At first, Kanye took offense to that and called out Cudi, who wrote a few song’s on Kanye’s 808s & Heartbreak, but recently, the beef was squashed when Kanye told fans at a show to sing “Father Stretch My Hands Pt.1” for Kid Cudi. So now it’s just Kid Cudi vs. Drake.


What Happened?

Earlier this week, Drake was celebrating his 30th birthday and decided to release four new songs on OVO Radio. One of the songs, “Two Birds, One Stone,” takes a jab at Cudi. Here are the lyrics that diss Cudi:

“You were the man on the moon, now you go through your phases. Life of the angry and famous. Rap like I know I’m the greatest and give you the tropical flavors. Still never been on hiatus. You stay xan and perc’ed up so when reality set in you don’t gotta face it.”

Hey, Drake, you do know that Cudi checked into rehab for depression and suicidal urges, right? You do know that making fun of mental health is not cool in today’s world, right? Just making sure you knew that before you release those lyrics to the world and subsequently get bashed for them.

Too late.

Drake has been getting a ton of heat for that track and in all honesty, it was a bit of a cheap shot, considering Cudi is still in rehab. Some hip hop fans might think people are being too soft with their reactions and I totally understand that argument, but this is not ’90s hip hop. You can’t stay stuff like that anymore without facing criticism. That’s just the way it is.


Kid Cudi’s Response

Kid Cudi decided to step up to the plate and fire back at Drake. Cudi did not disappoint.

BOOM. Got em’.

 

I gotta respect Cudi here for the “say it to my face” comeback. It truly is all you need to say. You want to rap about me? Fine, but I bet you won’t say it when I’m looking right at you. Kid Cudi is supposed to make an appearance at ComplexCon next weekend so I’m hoping he brings the heat. Hip hop needs more feuds so here’s to Kid Cudi vs. Drake. May it live up to the hype.
