While obviously nothing is imminent, if Amazon could acquire the rights to a few sports leagues, that could be a game-changer.

Because right now Amazon Prime Video is a nice luxury for those of us whose parents have Amazon Prime but isn’t an essential in the way Netflix is. But if Amazon were able to create a premium sports package then not only would it become a more serious player in streaming, but it would eliminate my last excuse for paying way too much for cable.

Basically any show you want to watch right now, you can stream and that’s only going to accelerate in the coming years. But live games are what still makes a cable box necessary for us single dudes who watch sports every night to try to escape our feelings of loneliness. Put all those games on Amazon Prime and it completely changes the equation.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the news:

With at least some leagues, including the NBA, Amazon has floated the idea of creating an exclusive premium sports package available with its Amazon Prime program, though the details are unclear, the people said. Such a package could attract new members to the $99-a-year Prime program, which offers expedited shipping and streaming video, as well as to a “skinny bundle” of live online channels that Amazon is pursuing.

Of course, it’ll be extremely challenging for Amazon to acquire the rights for such a service.

One big hurdle: many premium rights are tied up. The NBA’s deal with ESPN and TNT stretches until the 2024-2025 season, while the NFL’s pacts with ESPN, CBS, Fox and NBC run through early next decade. Many college conferences’ rights lie with various TV networks. And Disney’s recent investment in BAMTech means ESPN’s untapped sports rights likely will land in its coming multisport streaming service with BAMTech, a person familiar with ESPN’s thinking said.

Kanye West has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles after what has been a bit of a bizarre week for the rapper.

What happened?

According to NBC Los Angeles, a source close to West called for medical intervention on his behalf at around 1:20 P.M., with paramedics responding. TMZ reports that West was not at home at the time. No criminal or illegal activity was cited as the cause of the call and West is now under the care of medical professionals for the decision of maintaining his health and safety.

West recently shocked fans with some very unpredictable behavior, admonishing former friends Beyonce and Jay Z, as well as making some racially charged statements and saying he would have voted for President-elect Donald Trump. The series of events ended with West canceling his Saint Pablo tour, which still had several dates left.

One might be wondering where Kanye West’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, falls in this unfortunate saga. Kardashian is rumored to actually be making her red carpet debut tonight at the Annual Angel Ball in New York City, at which her father, Robert, is receiving a posthumous honor. No word yet on Kardashian.

This is a breaking story. We will be updating this as it unfolds.

Update: TMZ is reporting that West was at the house of his trainer, Harley Pasternak, and “acting erratically” while being checked out by a visiting physician. Police responded to a call for the sake of his welfare and upon their arrival West seemed slightly more relaxed albeit reluctant to seek further treatment, but was eventually convinced by his team to go to the hospital. He was handcuffed to a gurney and transported by paramedics.

Kim Kardashian West has reportedly chosen not to attend the Angel Ball event in New York City and is suspected to be flying to LA

Horrible story out of Tennessee last night. At around 3:30 P.M., a bus carrying 35 children flipped onto its side and crashed into a tree in Chattanooga, Tennessee, leaving six children dead. The driver of the bus, Johnthony Walker, was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment, and reckless driving. Specifically, Walker is being charged with five counts of vehicular homicide, but could face more charges as the case proceeds to a Hamilton County Grand Jury, Chattanooga police Chief Fred Fletcher said. Furthermore, Walker has been cooperative and talking to investigators, police said.

Via CNN:

Of the five children confirmed dead after the Monday afternoon bus crash, three were fourth-graders at Woodmore Elementary School, one was a first-grader and one was a kindergartner, according to Kirk Kelly, interim superintendent for Hamilton County Schools. Six students remain hospitalized in the intensive care unit, and six are in regular rooms at the hospital, Kelly said.

At this time, while the investigation is still underway, speed is being considered as a possible factor. A National Transportation Safety Board team is expected to arrive in Chattanooga and begin their investigation on Tuesday morning, Chairman Christopher Hart told reporters.

Via CNN:

“Certainly, speed is being investigated very, very strongly as a factor in this crash,” Fletcher said, adding that the investigation was still at an early stage.

He added that driving conditions were clear and dry. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

I’m kidding. Totally kidding. Droid users are totally fine. It just so happens that in my friend group the two or three dudes who have an Android also happen to be the worst with their phones. Not sure if that’s a coincidence but take it as you will. Actually, considering the findings of the study, Droid users seem to be the overall better people. According to the study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, people who buy Android phones are more honest and humble than those who pick iPhones. Apple users tend to be extroverted and likely to see their phone as a status object. This more or less directly correlates with my friends that use Droids versus the ones on iPhone. The Droid users just really don’t give a f*ck about their phone, while the iPhone users are just straight douchebags (Note: I’m one of the iPhone guys… Could ya tell?)

Via Daily Mail:

“A group of researchers from the University of Lincoln and Lancaster University studied hundreds of people and their relationships with their phones.

They found Android users are more likely to be older, male, more honest and agreeable people who are less likely to break the rules for their own gain and less interested in wealth and status.

In contrast, the study found iPhone users are younger, more than twice as likely to be women,  while being less concerned about owning a device favoured by most others.

This was the first study to show a link between people’s personality and the type of phone they choose, the researchers said.”

The researchers gave over 500 people several questionnaires about themselves and their attitudes towards their mobile phones. To be honest, I don’t know why they even needed to fund an actual scientific study. Had they just taken my approach and written down all their friends who have an iPhone, and who has an Android, they probably would have been able to figure these differences out.

Let me save you the trouble of reading the article. Here’s how J.J. Watt wraps up an article titled ‘Am I Done?’: “The kid in me is back. Am I done? Hell no. I’m just getting started.”

WHOLE – E – SCHIT. Could this guy be any f*cking cornier? Those four lines right there sound like a 15-year-old screenwriter writing a sports movie. That sounds like the WWE’s biggest babyface giving a speech at the end of Smackdown. It sounds like classic J.J. Watt: trying WAY too hard. I seriously think this guy believes he’s Captain America and it’s absolutely infuriating.

As I announced to the office that I was going to take a shit on Watt, our editor-in-chief asked how I could possibly hate on J.J. Watt. Little did he know, he was answering his own question. I hate J.J. Watt because people have to ask why I hate him. He’s like the NFL’s version of Taylor Swift: a carefully crafted image created to sell tickets and jerseys to parents and especially their kids. It wouldn’t surprise me if J.J. Watt has appeared on a children’s cartoon at some point in his life. As for a jaded 23-year-old like myself, I’m having none of his shit. For all the reasons people don’t like Russell Wilson, the same applies to Watt.

Don’t get me wrong, J.J. Watt is a fantastic player, a great guy, and an excellent role model for children. But he’s also a walking cringe-factory and I ain’t having it. Not even a little.

Tottenham Hotspur and Monaco continue their Champions League play today as the French side AS Monaco host the Spurs Group E matchup. This year is  Tottenham Hotspur’s first Champions League appearance in five years, since they lost in the 2010-11 Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid.

Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs team are in a very tough group with perennial Champions League squads CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, and of course, AS Monaco. Monaco defeated Tottenham in the first leg of the matchup back on September 14th, 2-1.

Monaco welcomes Tottenham on Tuesday in the Champions League group stage, and boy is it a big one. A loss against Monaco would effectively eliminate Tottenham from moving on. The Spurs only have four points from four group games, and failure to win today, coupled with Bayer Leverkusen beating CSKA Moscow would see them eliminated.

Conor Daly (above) and Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi are going to be taking over our Snapchat account (coed.com) from 6:00 P.M. EST to 7:00 P.M. EST. What’s the occasion? Oh, just a little thing called the Dancing With the Stars finale. No big deal. Just two of the greatest racing dudes on the planet coming to you live and direct on our Snapchat while watching the taping of the biggest show on ABC.

You might remember Conor Daly from our video series, where he took us around the infield of the Indianapolis 500 and met all of the DJs before the concert. And you also remember Alexander, who didn’t meet the DJs, but did win the Indy 500… which is incredible considering he was a rookie. Anyway, Conor and Alexander are going to be watching their friend IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe, who’s a finalist on this season of DWTS. They’ll be at the Grove in Los Angeles giving you behind-the-scenes coverage of whatever it is that famous drivers do in their down time.

In a surprise move, Apple has decided to offer some Black Friday 2016 deals and discounts on their products. The giant gadget and tech company teased an ad on Tuesday morning (above) that told shoppers to “save the date” on Friday. Although no details have yet been given on what they’ll put up for sale, Apple did mention in the advertisement that you’d be able to “check everyone off your list” for holiday shopping. It also confirms that shoppers who purchase Apple products from Apple.com will receive free two-day shipping.

One clue they offer is that there’s a picture of an Apple Watch, which is certainly a product they’d like to sell for the holiday season. Companies like Walmart, Target and Best Buy have already started to offer Black Friday deals on Apple products, so it makes sense that Apple would want to also get onboard.

This would be the first time in two years that Apple’s offered their own unique Black Friday discounts. Back in 2014, Apple paired iTunes gift cards with purchases made over the holiday season, but that seems unlikely this time around. Instead, expect good deals on Macbooks, Apple Watches, Apple Watch bands, and more.

**Like we said, the Apple Black Friday deals won’t be available until Friday, but we’ll update this post as soon as they go live. In the meantime, here are some other good Black Friday deals on Apple products from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. There’s even a couple that are active before Black Friday.**

There had to be some pre-existing beef between father and son in this situation, right? You don’t just go and try to cut your dad’s head off without there being some sort of past confrontations. I mean, this is Florida though, so anything goes. If my dad tried to snip the skin off my dick, I can’t say I’d be thrilled, but I certainly wouldn’t kill the dude.

Via ABC:

Alex Fultz, 20, was arrested Sunday on a charge of attempted felony murder.

According to a police report, Fultz’s father was asleep on a sofa in his bedroom when Fultz, armed with a knife, entered and stabbed his father in the neck. Police said Fultz then dropped the knife and left.

The victim was flown to Jackson South Community Hospital to be treated for a stab wound.

Police said officers later spotted Fultz walking toward them, both of his hands raised in the air.

“Don’t shoot. Don’t shoot,” Fultz told the officers, the report said. “I’m the one who stabbed my dad.”

Hey, give the kid credit for admitting that he’s the one who stuck his dad. Fultz told police that he was angry at his father because he wanted to cut off the foreskin of Fultz’s penis, and Fultz was scared that it would hurt, the report said. Fultz said his father didn’t listen to him and didn’t want to take him to a urologist, so Fultz stabbed him out of anger.

Poor kid just wanted to keep his foreskin.

Jess Greenberg is a 21-year-old musician from London, England. She’s been posting videos to her YouTube channel of her rocking out since 2010, and she has developed a massive following on the video sharing platform. Jess currently has over 1.2 million followers on YouTube, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Jess primarily performs acoustic covers of rock songs, but she will occasionally bust out an electric guitar or play songs from different genres. Some of her most popular covers have been “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC (over 24 million views), “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes (over 10 million views), “Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers (over 7 million views), and “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, featuring Pharrell Williams (over 7 million views).

Even though Jess’ covers are always badass, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that not all of her followers are there for just the music. Jess typically wears a low cut tank top while performing, which creates an absolutely mesmerizing look. You can check out the hottest photos of the gorgeous and talented Jess Greenberg in the gallery below.

With the recent firing of head soccer coach Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. Men’s National Team is expected to bring back a familiar face as their next head coach. According to ESPN, Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena is set to return for his second stint as the coach of the U.S. Men’s Soccer team. Although soccer has become more popular in the United States over the past few years, there are probably some newer fans of the sports out there who have never heard of Arena before. Here is all the information you will need to know about our team’s next head coach:

Playing Career

Arena was a two-sport athlete when he was in college, playing both soccer and lacrosse at Nassau Community College. After two years, he transferred to Cornell University in 1972. Arena originally did not want to play soccer at the Ivy League School, but when the team’s starting and backup goalkeepers went down with injuries, Arena filled in and helped lead the team to a Final Four appearance in the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament, and was named “Most Valuable Defensive Player” of the entire tournament for his play. Arena only played one year of professional soccer for the Tacoma Tides in 1976, and also had a year for the national team under his belt in 1973.

Coaching Career

After his playing career was over, Arena returned to Cornell in 1977 as the assistant lacrosse coach to begin the first of his many coaching stints. A year later, he moved onto the University of Virginia to be the head coach of both the men’s soccer and lacrosse teams, but later became just the soccer coach in 1985. In his time at Virginia, Arena led the team to five national championships, including four straight from 1991-94.

Arena left Virginia in 1996 and became the head coach of D.C. United, a professional team in the new expansion league, Major League Soccer. Arena coached the team from 1996-98 and won the league’s first two championships during this stay in Washington.

In 1998, Arena was named head coach of the US Men’s National team, a position in which he saw success that not many expected him to encounter in international play. In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Arena and his group of heavy underdogs reached the quarterfinals of the tournament, beating the likes of Portugal and Mexico along the way, where they lost to the eventual runner-up Germany, in a hard fought 1-0 game. 2006 would be Arena’s last year of coaching the national team, as they fell short of expectations in the 2006 World Cup, failing to advance out of the group stage.

After going back to the MLS and coaching the New York Red Bulls for a year, Arena was then hired by the LA Galaxy as both the head coach and general manager, where he has seen great success. Since he has been with the Galaxy, Arena has won three MLS Cups, and two Coach of the Year Awards. His contract is up in 2017.

I think if this is true, Arena is a great hire for the United States National Team because he is a familiar face who has shown that he knows what it takes to win at the national level. I don’t necessarily think it will bring a World Cup title to the United States, but the team was not playing well under Klinsmann in recent months, and I think a fresh start will provide a much-needed boost to the team. I have realistic expectations, but I can’t see why the U.S. can’t advance out of the group stage in the 2018 World Cup (if they qualify for the tournament, that is).

The short answer to this question is NO. Thanksgiving is the time of year where we all join together and put all of the BS of 2016 behind us for a day. It’s the time of year in which we all get to make believe we are turkeys and stuff ourselves silly. Yay! I’ve been working on my eating game all year and finally my hard work pays off in less than three days. Anyways, back to the question of whether mail will be delivered on Thanksgiving.

All post offices and federal offices will be closed for the holiday. Below is a list of carriers that do not deliver this upcoming Thanksgiving. I also posted the rest of their 2016 holiday schedules, so be sure to take a look and advantage of that!

• USPS is CLOSED, holiday schedule.
• FEDEX is CLOSED, holiday schedule.
• UPS is CLOSED, holiday schedule

Some additional holidays on which mail is not delivered include:

• New Year’s Day
• Christmas
• Labor Day
• Independence Day (July 4th)
• President’s Day
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day
• Columbus Day
• Memorial Day

We all know this holiday to be the one that brings us together as a nation. It has been a tough year so let’s reach out to those who are less fortunate and make them feel like family too, because in America we are all family, especially on Thanksgiving. So with that being said, I hope everyone stays safe, warm and enjoys the comfort of food, family, and friends this holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Barbara Palvin landed the December/January cover for Maxim, and I now have one more thing to be thankful for on Thursday. In her interview, the 23-year-old discussed topics such as tabloid rumors, her career, her Hungarian heritage, and her love of SpongeBob SquarePants. That’s right, Barbara likes to unwind by watching the hijinks of the greatest fry cook of the seven seas. Can she get any better?

Hampshire College, a small college in Amherst, Massachusetts, has decided to remove the American flag from their campus flagpole for the rest of the semester following the election of President-elect Donald Trump. Prior to the removal of the flag, one protestor lowered it half-mast. Then two days after the election, it was set on fire. Then the flag was replaced at half-mast (as instructed by the college’s board), and finally removed entirely.

The president of the college, Jonathon Lash, tried to explain his administration’s decision on the radio.

“There were a range of views on campus, including people whose experience growing up have made the flag a symbol of fear, which was strengthened by the toxic language during the campaign, and people for whom the flag is the symbol of all that’s best throughout the country.”

But that’s not the end of the story. Nope, not by a long shot. Following the controversy and backlash from all the armchair (and real) patriots, President Lash made the decision to ban all flags from campus. Like, forever. But on days that should use flags to remember important events (Veteran’s Day, 9/11, etc.) Lash will consult with students about how to celebrate or commemorate the days on an individual basis.

To me, this is insane. Absolute insanity. How can you ban all flags from the campus altogether? First of all, banning the American flag outright from the school is borderline illegal, right? But how are all the liberals and flag burners going to feel when their own flags they hold so close are taken away? Is there going to be a punishment for that too? My guess is not.

I mean, I can understand why so many people are upset, and I am willing to listen to their gripes, but don’t ban the American flag for f*ck’s sake. That’s absurd.

A soccer player in Serbia’s fourth division committed the worst missed goal I’ve ever seen in a recent match. I wasn’t able to find out the name of this uncoordinated goon, but it’s probably being withheld out of respect for the man’s family. His miss was that damn embarrassing.

Jesus Christ, what a slapdick. Even the Golden State Warriors would call that an epic choke job. The only explanation that I can possibly think of is that he was already focusing on performing an intricate FIFA-esque celebration. But you can’t count your chickens before they hatch, and you can’t flop around like a dying fish until you put that ball in the back of the net.

At least this pathetic miscue happened in some bumf*ck league in Serbia. If this occurred in a meaningful game in South America, this dude’s body would have already been found in a dumpster.

Is nothing sacred anymore? We really can’t celebrate our nation without offending anyone these days? What are you going to do next, Loyola, ban students from wearing red, white, and blue all at once? Usually colleges cracking down on students for ‘themed’ parties is warranted, given that the theme is often legitimately offensive, but this is an UNBELIEVABLY bitch-made move from Loyola University.

Via Washington Times:

Students at Loyola University Maryland were recently pressured to abort plans for an “America”-themed party over concerns they might “oppress” others.

An annual “Senior 200s” celebration organized by Loyola’s student government became a cause for concern after Republican Donald Trump’s Election Day victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“I encourage you to reconsider this plan in light of the legitimate concerns raised by so many,” the school’s executive vice president, Sarah Donovan, told student government members in emails provided to the Daily Caller. “We have made progress in providing a welcoming climate on campus and do we want to reverse that progress with a theme that divides us?”

The official said her opinion on the event after talking to some students and faculty was that it sounded “very alienating, divisive and harmful.”

Look, I understand the country has been a little on edge since the election, but let’s readjust ourselves back to reality, shall we? Because (and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) if you’re offended by an America-themed party, that means you’re at a party, IN AMERICA, which therefore makes you AN AMERICAN. That’s like me looking in the mirror and getting offended at myself because I’m white. Literally makes no f*cking sense.

According to NCAA investigations, a female student-trainer helped a few student-athletes complete their coursework over a period of two football seasons. For this infraction, the NCAA is vacating all the wins from the 2012-2013 (12-1) and 2013-2014 (9-4) Notre Dame football seasons, plus their appearance in the 2014 BCS game, plus other penalties.

The NCAA found that from 2012-2014, this student-trainer helped two football players with their homework. It is not yet known to what extent she helped them. During that same period, she helped six other football players with “academic assistance” in 18 different classes.

What’s more (Sordid Rumor Alert!), some people are commenting that she even did the football players’ homework so that she could have sex with them. Yes, at Notre Dame, not only will tutors do your homework, they’ll also sleep with you for the privilege. But again, that’s not proven or fact. Here’s the description from the official NCAA investigation findings:

During two academic years, the former student trainer and two football student-athletes engaged in academic misconduct when the former student trainer completed coursework for the student-athletes. These student-athletes, in addition to a third football student-athlete, also committed academic misconduct individually. The university determined the three student-athletes violated its academic integrity policies. The misconduct resulted in the student-athletes playing while ineligible — one student-athlete during the 2012-13 season and the other two student-athletes during the 2013-14 season.

The former student trainer also provided impermissible academic assistance to six additional football student-athletes in a total of 18 classes. She provided the assistance while she attended the university and a year after she graduated. Two of the student-athletes violated the university’s academic integrity policies. The remaining four student-athletes were not enrolled at the time the violations were discovered, so they were not subject to the university’s policies.

It sounds like a harsh penalty because it is, but let’s remember that Notre Dame didn’t win a National Title and that the NCAA “vacating” a win doesn’t mean that the football team didn’t actually win all those games.

• Public reprimand and censure for the university.
• One year of probation, from November 22, 2016, through November 21, 2017.
• A two-year show-cause order for the former student trainer from November 22, 2016, through November 21, 2018. During that time, any NCAA member school that hires her in an athletically related position must appear with her before a Committee on Infractions panel.
• A disassociation of the former student trainer from the university’s athletics program from November 22, 2016, through November 21, 2018. During this period, the university may not accept assistance in the recruitment of prospects or support of student-athletes from the former student trainer; may not accept donations to the athletics program from the former student trainer; may not extend athletics benefits or privilege to the former student trainer that is not generally available to the public; and must ensure the former student trainer is not involved in the university’s athletics program.
• A vacation of all records in which student-athletes participated while ineligible during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 football seasons.
• A $5,000 fine.

As a last little bit of information, I’m going to leave you with one Reddit user’s comment, which is actually a really good point. It’s about how this decision essentially tells schools not to punish their student-athletes in-house, but rather give them a slap on the wrist out of fear of bigger punishments.

I know there is enough ND haters out there that will love this but if you really care about CFB you should read about what is really going on here. This is student on student cheating that the university uncovered and suspended players for and then retroactively lowered the players grades for the periods they cheated in. The NCAA is now saying that since the university did that the players were ineligible for those years which is asinine. The NCAA is effectively telling all other universities that they should not punish conduct like this retroactively or the program will be punished. They are ultimately telling everyone it would have been better to just let it slide. Hopefully this is overturned. There is absolutely no way for a university or program to prevent every issue but what you want is for them to police it themselves and punish players for bad behavior which is exactly what happened here. Makes no sense to do this when the program did what they were supposed to do [source].
