Welcome To 2017, Where Johnny Manziel Is Tweeting Advice To The President

0
0

Damn, Johnny Manziel is really feeling himself in 2017. Fresh off of bagging Bre Tiesi and announcing his attempt to make a comeback in the NFL, Johnny Manziel now apparently feels as though his trials and tribulations make him qualified to advise President Trump.

I am all for some sort of collaboration between Johnny Football and Donnie Freedom. We can only hope Trump responds to this tweet because it could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

I bet if Johnny pressed hard enough, Trump would create the Department of Athletics and make Johnny the secretary. That or get him a job in the DEA. Ya know, ’cause Johnny loves drugs.

Update: Johnny has since deleted his Twitter. Talk about a mic drop.


Best Strategy Games 2017: Top 5 Upcoming Strategy Games

Best Strategy Games

Strategy games aren’t for everyone, but for those of us who enjoy putting ourselves in situations that require tactical precision, lots of thought, and maybe a 50-page long guide on the internet, this year has a lot to look forward to.

There have been quite a few game releases this month, but what else is there to fit into our calendars? Well, there are some big name titles listed here that shouldn’t be overlooked.

If you’ve played any of the more recent strategy games, you may be a bit disappointed to find that they weren’t quite as good as we all hoped. The rest of the upcoming strategy games that have yet to released seem to be a lot more promising, and better yet, most of them are sequels to existing games that were met with critical acclaim.

Here are the top five best upcoming strategy games.


Halo Wars 2

Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Developer: 343 Industries, Creative Assembly
Platforms: Xbox One, Windows 10
Release Date: February 21, 2017

Halo Wars is one of the best real-time strategy games I’ve ever played, hands down. A sequel to such a masterpiece is coming in only a month, and Creative Assembly, the masters of the RTS genre, are also behind the development of this game. Sign me up right here and now, because this might just be one of the best games of 2017. While I’m not a big fan of what 343 Industries has done with the more recent Halo games, Halo Wars is a very different ballgame. Also, with the geniuses behind the Total War games, things couldn’t possibly go wrong. This time, the game seems to have more emphasis on cinematic elements alongside breathtaking visuals and overall technical beauty. If you’re already a Halo fan, I probably don’t need to tell you that this game is bound to be great, but if you haven’t been sold on the idea, then trust me. This game is not just another modern shooter, it’s a mind-bending and challenging piece of art.

PRE-ORDER: Halo Wars 2


The Guild 3

Publisher: THQ Nordic
Developer: GolemLabs
Platforms: PC
Release Date: 2017

After a whole decade, THQ Nordic is finally bringing us a sequel to the not-so-great strategy game, The Guild 2. While that doesn’t sound promising, The Guild 2 seemed to be full of ideas and gameplay mechanics that were fantastic in theory, but not well-implemented. I believe that The Guild 3 has the potential to properly execute these wonderful ideas. Unfortunately, there isn’t any footage of the game other than a few music selections, so there isn’t much to go off of other than a few screenshots located on the game’s official website. So far, it looks beautiful. The premise of the game is rather simple, but the mechanics are also very complex. Your goal is to create a legacy, create your character, live your life as whatever you see fit, have children, and keep your lineage alive for as long as possible. It’s not always so easy, as bandits can raid your town, villagers can betray you, and natural disasters and plagues can bring a swift end to your life. Ultimately, the game has a strong pedigree that I believe will be enough to make the third game in the series an amazing experience.

PRE-ORDER: The Guild 3


Frozen Synapse 2

Publisher: Mode 7 Limited
Developer: Mode 7 Limited
Platforms: PC
Release Date: 2017

Frozen Synapse was a masterpiece of a turn-based strategy game when it came out several years ago. It featured unique gameplay that involved building up a small force of soldiers, setting up their actions, and playing them out. There were doors, walls, windows, and many other environmental factors to use as cover. Even more fascinating was the AI, which always seemed very human-like. Now, we can expect a sequel to Frozen Snyapse that seems to be very much the same, but heavily expanded upon in premise. Since the first game had a pretty interesting and immersive campaign mode, I’m sure this game can take things at least one step forward. If you’re looking for a game like X-COM and you love the turn-based mechanics and general physics of Toribash but would rather have a game that looks like it came straight out of the movie TRON, then this is definitely the game for you.


Riot – Civil Unrest

Publisher: Merge Games
Developer: Leonard Menchiari, IV Productions
Platforms: PC
Release Date: Early 2017

After the riots that occurred over the weekend in Washington, D.C. as a response to the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, this game suddenly seems more powerful and interesting. It was already a unique and intriguing game, but I think it might get a bit more recognition alongside the political fire burning in the United States. Watching the trailer, I can feel the weight of the art laid down before me. It’s immense and perhaps it’s also a bit scary. Nonetheless, the game has a fantastic pixel art-style that couldn’t look more beautiful, and it makes the game seem all the more rebellious with the graffiti-like charm. Whether it’s intentionally clever or simply ironic, Riot – Civil Unrest will be releasing early this year just in time for the newly elected president.

PRE-ORDER: Riot – Civil Unrest


Total War: Arena

Publisher: Wargaming
Developer: Creative Assembly
Platforms: PC
Release Date: TBA

Okay, this one probably doesn’t count because it doesn’t have an official release date, but it simply needs to be mentioned. Any real-time strategy fan worth their salt knows of the Total War franchise. The moment I hear the name, I’m immediately drawn to it, and this seems to be the biggest feat in the series yet. Total War: Arena boasts the gameplay that the series is known for, all with the addition of 10 vs. 10 online gameplay. Yup, that’s right; you can play in a team of ten people to battle against another ten people. Traditionally, most RTS games are one-on-one, so I’m very excited to see how the developers go about balancing and managing the capability of playing such a massive online experience. If you’re like me, you’ll be happy to know that there have been a few alpha gameplay sessions already tested, and another one is coming up over the weekend of 1/27 – 1/29. All of this, of course, comes at a price, right? Nope, it’s going to be completely free-to-play. So far, everything looks fantastic and I can’t wait for more information about the official release date.

NC State vs Duke Live Stream

In case you live under a rock, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons both advanced to the Super Bowl yesterday, and you know what that means? No football for a week, but no matter because that gives us more time to watch college basketball, and tonight we get a classic ACC matchup as NC State heads to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on Duke.

After losing two straight games against ranked opponents, the Blue Devils bounced back nicely on Saturday night with a win against the Miami Hurricanes by a score of 70-58. By now, everyone knows that head coach Mike Krzyzewski is not on the sidelines for Duke as he is recovering from back surgery, which put assistant coach Jeff Capel at the helm. Although they haven’t been great in ACC play so far this year, going 3-3, Duke is still 15-4 on the season, and well positioned to make the tournament in March. Unfortunately for Duke, it hasn’t been their play that’s been talked about this season, it’s junior guard Grayson Allen not being able to contain himself from tripping players and shoving coaches. Say what you will about him, but Allen is a really good player and will need to get his emotions under control if he wants to help lead the Blue Devils to a deep postseason run.

Things have not been going so well for the Wolfpack as of late. Up until the past week or so, NC State was sitting at 12-3 on the season, but after losing four of their last five games, they’ve fallen to 13-7 on the season, and 2-5 in ACC play. Freshman guard Dennis Smith Jr. has led the way for NC State this season, scoring 18.9 points a game, and the team will need him to have a big game tonight if they want any chance at pulling off the upset and saving their season. It will be an interesting one for sure, so tune in tonight to see who comes out on top.

‘Beware The Slenderman’ Stream: How To Watch Documentary Premiere Online

HBO

Tonight, Beware the Slenderman will make its highly anticipated premiere on HBO. The documentary looks to be both creepy and fascinating, as director Irene Taylor Brodsky delves into the urban myth of the Slenderman.

Beware the Slenderman is centered around a truly horrific incident involving three 12-year-old girls that took place on May 31, 2014 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In an effort to become proxies of Slenderman, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured Payton Leutner into the woods, and they proceeded to stab her 19 times.

Morgan and Anissa believed that Slenderman was real and that he would harm their families if they didn’t kill for him. Thankfully, Payton survived this brutal attack.

Now that you know what Beware the Slenderman is about, let’s break down all of the different ways you can watch the documentary.

Subway’s Pulled Pork & Fritos Sandwich Is A Crime Against Humanity

If you’ve ever read an article of mine, particularly about fast food, you’ll know I’m quite the hater. I haven’t eaten McDonald’s since I was a drunk high school student, which is arguably when the dumbest version of myself that has ever existed. I’ve argued that Taco Bell’s meat, when observed through an economic prism, simply cannot be safe for mankind. So while fast food Mexican and burger joints have found a way into my crosshairs during my time at COED, fast food sandwiches have not. Today is finally that day thanks to Subway.

Subway has been testing a new limited time Pulled Pork Crunch Sub with Chili Cheese Fritos at select locations in the Midwest, including Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska. Something tells me middle America and ill-conceived Subway concoctions are a match made in heaven, so Subway deserves some credit for rolling these out in the right places.

Let’s talk about the perpetually stinky (literally) Subway and their ‘Pulled Pork and Fritos’ sandwich. First of all, riddle me this: How is that pork being cooked? As far as I know, Subway doesn’t have a smoker, crock pot, or grill at its restaurant. Red flag, right off the bat.

Next, throwing chips on your sandwich is an all-time JV move. Not for people but as a business move. Putting chips on your sandwich is what children do. Putting chips on your sandwich is what stoners do. If you’re a restaurant chain, you should be leaving the sandwich-chipping to the customers. Let them buy the bag of chips and do it themselves. Business 101, Subway.

Here are some photos of the Pulled Pork Crunch sandwich if you’re into masochism or whatever.

Although both teams are experiencing down seasons (and by down seasons I mean bottom three of the conference), whenever Oklahoma and Texas square off, it’s must-watch TV. You’ve gotta love when two of the biggest rivals in sports go head to head with one another.

I may come off as very stupid here, but I don’t think that Texas is as bad as their record indicates. Yes, they’re 7-12 on the season, and last in the Big 12 with a 1-6 conference record, but they’ve been playing teams really tough. Six of their 12 losses have been by three points or less, and they even took #10 WVU down to the wire. And though they’re currently on a five-game losing streak, their last three games have been against top 10 teams, where they lost to #10 WVU 74-72, #6 Baylor 74-64, and #2 Kansas 79-67, which is really not that bad for a young team. The Longhorns aren’t going to make the tournament this year unless they pull off a miracle and win the Big 12 Tournament, but they’re playing teams tough and should be a good team in the foreseeable future.

Much like Texas, the Oklahoma Sooners have also had a pretty tough schedule this season and are most likely also not going to make the tournament, barring a Big 12 Tournament run. The lone bright spot for the Sooners this year came last week when they upset the #7 West Virginia Mountaineers 89-87 on the road. That’s a big confidence booster for a team that’s struggled this year, and a win tonight could maybe being a turnaround for the Sooners, so we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s no surprise that Oklahoma vs. Texas is always much more significant when they play one another on the football field, but for fans of both teams it’s still a very meaningful game and gives the winners the opportunity for bragging rights going into next season. Hopefully, they give us a good one tonight.

Anna Gasser: Hottest Photos Of The X Games Snowboarder

Anna Gasser is a professional snowboarder from Villach, Austria, and she competes in slopestyle and big air events. She qualified for her first Olympics in 2014, earning a trip to Sochi to participate in the slopestyle event. Unfortunately for Anna, she didn’t return with any hardware, as she finished in 10th place.

Anna would have a lot more success in 2015, bringing home a silver medal from the World Championships. Her score of 89.50 was good enough for second place in the snowboarding slopestyle competition.

When it comes to the X Games, the 25-year-old is still looking for her first medal. In slopestyle events, she finished 5th in 2014 and 8th in 2015. At the 2017 X Games, Anna will compete in the slopestyle and big air disciplines. If making sexy Instagram videos where she shows off her athleticism was an X Games event, she would already have a trophy case full of them.

WWE Monday Night Raw: Results, Updates & Must-See Highlights – 01/23/17

WWE

Goldberg returns tonight, looking for some trouble on Raw’s go-home show before the Royal Rumble. But will Brock Lesnar be in the building as well? Will these two leviathans of the ring clash just six days before the pay per view? Hopefully, this time their encounter will last longer than 86 seconds. I’ll take us back to the last time these two fought under the bright lights of the WWE:

We also just got word that multiple-time World Champion The Big Show will be added to the Royal Rumble match. So, you shouldn’t be surprised to see the 7-foot giant return tonight. Goldberg vs. Big Show is rumored to headline March’s FastLane pay per view. So, if Big Show is returning tonight, he’ll probably return as a bad guy to confront Goldberg. (This didn’t happen. A good guy version of Big Show confronted Braun Strowman instead.)

Where will Team Chris & Kevin take their bromance this week? How much will fans boo Roman Reigns this time? Find out here!


WWE Monday Night Raw Viewing Details

Date: Monday, January 13, 2017
Time: 8:00 P.M. EST/ 5:00 P.M. PST
TV Channel: USA
Location: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH


WWE Monday Night Raw Results

Stay tuned to find out what happens tonight’s on Monday Night Raw. We’ll be giving you live updates as they happen.


Main Event Segment: Goldberg in the ring

We have an epic showdown with Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker to end the show.


Non-title match: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann vs. Noam Darr w/ Alicia Fox

This was a much more back-and-forth match than the Nia Jax squash affair. Noam Darr looked strong in this match. He looked like he might come out on top against the Cruiserweight Champion. But then out of nowhere, Swann hits a sick superkick to Darr’s head.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann defeats Noam Darr


Nia Jax vs. Ray Lynn

Nia is completely dominant in this match. If you blinked, you might have missed it. Nia crushed Lynn. Enough said.

Post-match: Nia Jax gets interviewed by the interviewer who ticked off Kevin Owens. Nia says that Sasha Banks career is over, adding that there should be an ESPN 30-30 on her career, but it would be too tragic to watch. Sasha Banks comes down to the ring with her crutch. But Sasha uses her injury to her advantage, as she beats the crap outta Jax with the crutch. Sasha smacks the crutch so hard and so many times on Jax that the crutch breaks into pieces. Jax looks unfazed. She charges Banks, who ducks out of the way and opens up the ropes to have Nia fly to the outside. The Boss is officially back on top!


Interview with Charlotte

We see a pre-recorded video of Corey Graves having a sit-down interview with Charlotte, much like he did with Bayley earlier. Charlotte informs Graves that she will dominate Bayley, destroy the hype and leave her in the dust.


WWE United States Championship match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Reigns dominates the match early-on. He dominates people like Hulk Hogan in the ’80s and ’90s. He’s kicking Jericho’s ass as we go to commercial break.

We’re back from commercial, and Y2J has Reigns in a headlock. Jericho is finally in control. But you can’t keep Reigns down for too long. Roman is back to dominating Y2J and is about to put him away. Kevin Owens is alarmed by the idea of his friend losing the championship to his rival. KO walks up to the ring and interferes.

Roman Reigns defeats WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho by disqualification

Both KO and Y2J assault Reigns, the shark tank is lowered  and they’re planning to lock Reigns inside. But Roman fights back and Owens ends up locks in the cage. Reigns attacks Jericho. KO looks upset as the cage ascends to the roof of the arena.

When we come back from commercial break, Y2J and KO are still in the ring. They’re pissed and slamming the door of the cage. An attractive interviewer walked into the shot and tells KO that Foley made the Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble will be a no disqualification match. Owens is pissed!


The New Day and Enzo & Cass vs. Rusev, Titus O’Neil, Jinder Mahal & Braun Strowman

After a hilarious segment, this 8-man tag team match was scheduled. Rusev will turn into a good guy, I can see it. The guy is getting better on the mic. But The New Day are still the kings of microphone shtick. Enzo & Cass come in at a close-second.

The good guys were also dominant in this match-up. The New Day and the team of Enzo & Cass took control much of this match-up. They were able to get the upper-hand of all the competitors, but Braun Strowman. When Strowman got tagged in, the mood changed completely. Braun dominated the much smaller Enzo Amore. Strowman slammed Enzo. Light out for Love.

Braun Strowman, Titus O’Neil, Rusev & Jinder Mahal defeats The New Day and Enzo & Cass

Post-match: The Big Show comes out and has an epic stare-down with Braun Strowman.


Jack Gallagher, TJ Perkins & Mustafa Ali vs. Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari & Drew Gulak

The good guys (Gallagher, Perkins & Ali) were dominant all throughout this match-up. This was a very one-sided affair, which is a disappoint. WWE can’t keep treating the cruiserweight division in this manner. They need to have stand-out matches to excite the WWE crowd and make the fans care about their match. The crowd was largely silent during this match. Although, there was great moves performed by the good guys, I don’t think it’s profitable to make their adversaries look like chumps if WWE wants to build a successful division. Despite this, Gallagher has become an excellent addition to the Monday Night Raw telecast. Mustafa Ali looks like a promising new competitor that nailed a superb reverse 450 splash to end the match. Poor Drew Gulak.

Jack Gallagher, TJ Perkins & Mustafa Ali defeats Tony Nese, Daivari & Drew Gulak


Royal Rumble qualifying match: Seth Rollins vs. Sami Zayn

This was a very entertaining, back and forth match that is worth a re-watch. Zayn is really coming to his own as a superstar knocking at the door of the main event. The final wrestling move of the match looked to be the most devastating. Rollins executed a pedigree on Zayn onto the hardest part of the ring. Sami’s face smashed into the ring apron. It looks like Rollins is going to win. Rollins rolls Sami into the center of the ring. And then…Triple H’s music hits. Seth goes crazy in anticipation of The Game. Triple H never comes out, he only distracts Rollins long enough for Sami to sneak a roll-up pin.

Sami Zayn defeats Seth Rollins and qualifies for the Royal Rumble match

Post-match: Seth Rollins is freaking out backstage.


Segments: Bayley Is Ready For The Rumble/ Rollins & Foley Backstage

We see a video filmed earlier of the night of Corey Graves interviewing Bayley. She seems prepared for her match at the Rumble at Charlotte. We see footage of Bayley’s colorful entrances, where much of the crowd goes wild for the delightful Bayley. She thinks she will break Charlotte’s unprecedented pay per view streak.

Foley informs Rollins in the lockerroom that he will face face off against a friend tonight. Rollins will wrestle Zayn, the winner will earn their way into the 30-man Rumble match. Rollins says something disrespectful about Stephanie and her husband Triple H to end the segment.


Backstage Segment in Mick Foley’s Office

Foley is on the phone with Stephanie McMahon. Sami Zayn enters the offices and requests to be entered into the Royal Rumble match. Foley is about to grant him this wish, but Stephanie overhears the conversation. She says that is not how things work around here. Sami has to earn it!


Cesaro vs. Luke Gallows

Before their match, the announcers mentioned that the Royal Rumble kickoff show will feature a WWE Raw Tag Team Championship match, with Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Gallows and Anderson.

Cesaro and Gallows trade high-impact moves. Cesaro hits two-consecutive running uppercuts, but Gallows fires back with a brutal big boot. We go to commercial break as Cesaro is laid out in the ring.

We’re back from commercial break, and Gallows is in control. Luke has Cesaro in a headlocked. The Swiss Superman battles back, only to suffer a sidewalk slam. Meanwhile, we see footage from commercial break of Anderson giving Cesaro a clothesline outside the ring while the referee is distracted. The footage also showed Sheamus chase Anderson all the way off-camera, presumably backstage. Cesaro hits a vertical suplex but Gallows gets to his fight. Cesaro hits the larger Luke with a fury of uppercuts leading to a tornado DDT. Cesaro pins the big man, but Gallows kicks out at 2. Cesaro tries to swing Gallows, but the bigger man squirms out of the ring. Sheamus comes out and gets in Gallows face. Gallows gets up on the turnbuckle and eats a big boot from Cesaro. As the referee is distracted, Sheamus nails a clothesline on Luke, as a measure of retribution for earlier.

Cesaro has Gallows locked in the center of the ring with a sharpshooter. Anderson runs back to the ring, and attacks Sheamus from behind. This distracts Cesaro enough to relinquish his submission hold. This also distracts Cesaro enough for Gallows to gain the upperhand.

Luke Gallows defeats Cesaro


Intro-Segment: Roman Reigns In-ring Segment w/ WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens & WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho

Roman Reigns music hits to kick off this edition of WWE Raw. Reigns talks about his match at the Royal Rumble against the top champion of Monday Night Raw Kevin Owens. KO’s music hits and he comes out with his best-friend Y2J.

Both Owens & Y2J are obviously superior to Reigns when it comes to mic work. These guys are seasoned-pros. Jericho is hilarious with his ‘sexy pinata’ and ‘hanging like a piece of salami’ line. Reigns is still the future of the WWE, so I won’t cut him short. But he really needs to step up his mic game if he’s going to trade verbal shots with the likes of Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho.

Y2J puts his foot in his mouth, when he threatens to come down to the ring and knock Reigns’ teeth or chiclets out. This leads to Roman asking if Jericho is hinting at a rematch for the WWE United States Championship. Chris looks like he wants no part of that match, but KO answers for him.

WWE United States Championship Chris Jericho will put his title on the line against Roman Reigns tonight!

Talk about an incredible pick-me-up after this guy’s Steelers loss in the AFC Championship yesterday.

In a video that was later posted to Facebook, Washington D.C. taxi driver and diehard Steelers fan Sam Snow put John Elway atop his list of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history and then received the surprise of a lifetime: the two-time Super Bowl champion was in the backseat.

I can’t imagine any football fan who wouldn’t enjoy this video. Except for maybe Peyton Manning.

This Guy Robbed A Bank Just To Get Away From His Supposedly Miserable Wife

Lawrence Ripple, a 70-year-old man who was accused of robbing a Kansas bank and told investigators that he’d rather be imprisoned than with his wife, has confessed to carrying out the robbery.

Ripple pleaded guilty in Kansas City, Kansas to a federal bank robbery count and faces up to 20 years in prison for robbing the Bank of Labor at 756 Minnesota Ave.

Ripple did not have a plea deal and the judge will set a sentencing date after a pre-sentencing investigation.

Via KansasCity.com

The robbery was captured on bank surveillance video that showed Ripple hand a note to a teller. The note read, “I have a gun, give me money,” according to court documents. The teller handed over $2,924, but instead of fleeing, Ripple sat down in the bank lobby.

When a bank security guard approached him, Ripple told the guard that he was the person the guard was looking for, according to the documents. The guard took Ripple into custody and recovered the money that had just been taken.

Later, when questioned by police and FBI agents, Ripple said that he and his wife had an argument earlier in the day and he said he “no longer wanted to be in that situation,” according to the affidavit filed to support the bank robbery charge.

Ripple said he wrote out his robbery note in front of his wife and told her he would rather be in jail than at home. He then strolled over to the bank and committed the robbery.

While I may not be the biggest fan of armed robbery, you have to give the man this: Lawrence Ripple is a man of conviction who knows what he wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. If the only way to get away from his nagging wife is to stick up a local bank, so be it.

Bella Thorne Is Doing Bella Thorne Things On Twitter

I’m as torn as it gets when it comes to Bella Thorne. On one hand, her body is killer, she’s probably pretty rich, and she seems like she’s into some good music. Butttttt, on the other hand, Bella Thorne has always stricken me as the textbook definition of “crazy chick.” She dyes her hair a new color every week, has a new boyfriend every other week, and does stuff like… this.

So, it’s a give-and-take scenario with Bella Thorne. Some nights, you’re going to have some pretty incredible times with her but other nights you will fall asleep fearing for your life.

Personally, I think being murdered in my sleep is well worth a night with Bella Thorne. Not with that blue hair, though. We’ve gotta talk about that hair, Bella.

Woman Is Suing AIG Because The Men Would ‘Lick Her’ And ‘Hide Under Her Desk’

Marlee Valenti, a former AIG underwriter, is suing the insurance king, as well as her ex-boss, claiming he perpetuated a “boys club” atmosphere.  Valenti claims that male employees would hide under female employees’ desks to peek up their skirts and would also lick female colleagues. Good thing we bailed out AIG, right?

Valenti, 34, who had been an award-winning employee for two years before she was transferred to work under now-VP Michael Donnelly, according to her suit, filed suit Monday in the Manhattan Supreme Court.

Valenti’s suit claims she became subject to a “never-ending stream” of harassment from 10 men under Donnelly’s supervision.

Via NY Post:

For example, court papers say, “on multiple occasions, male employees would sneak under the desks of female employees in order to look up their skirts. Valenti witnessed multiple instances of this occurring and heard about several more from female colleagues in her division.”

Valenti and other women were also “groped, licked or forced to endure other forms of harassment” from male colleagues, she says. Valenti was fired after she complained, the suit says.

Court papers say Valenti “believed it was pointless to report such conduct” because her direct supervisor, Michael Donnelly, “was a willing participant in such behavior as were other supervisors in the Corporate Accounts Division.”

In December 2013, when she learned that her colleagues were “speaking negatively” about her to others in the industry, the papers say, Valenti submitted a 150-page response “complete with evidence” about the harassment. A month later, she was fired after AIG brass did “a perfunctory investigation” and found no wrongdoing, she claims.

However, AIG is claiming ignorance. In a statement released Monday, the company said it “is committed to providing a workplace that is free from sexual harassment. However, we believe this suit and the claims it makes are without merit, and we will defend the matter vigorously.”

Someone needs to tell AIG that The Wolf Of Wall Street was just a movie.


Who Is Marlee Valenti?

Marlee Valenti, 34, was an award-winning employee at AIG for two years before she was transferred to work under now-VP Michael Donnelly.


What Happened?

Marlee Valenti is suing insurance company AIG for sexual harassment. She claims that male employees would hide under female employees’ desks to peek up their skirts and would also lick female colleagues.

Apparently, Kellyanne Conway Was Throwing Hands At The Inauguration

I’ll say this right off the bat: I would NOT mess with Kellyanne Conway. No matter how you feel about her politics, everyone should be able to admit that Kellyanne Conway is one tough cookie.

And according to New York Daily News, Conway isn’t all talk, either. Witnesses say the special counselor to the president allegedly punched a rowdy tuxedo-clad man during the Liberty Ball in Washington on Friday after the inauguration.

Via the Daily News:

Conway was apparently forced to intervene when two larger men were involved in an altercation at Washington Convention Center on Friday.

When it became apparent that the two men were not going to stop fighting, Conway stepped in and punched one of them with a closed fist in the face at least three times, a witness said.

There was no word as to what precipitated the fight.

The witness’ account was corroborated by a Fox Business Channel reporter who said that Conway punched the man several times in the face with a closed fist.

Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino gave an account of the brawl in a Monday Facebook post:

“Whole thing lasted a few mins no one was hurt except maybe the dude she smacked. Now I know why Trump hired her.”

If Gasparino’s account is anywhere remotely close to the truth, then trust me, you DO NOT want to mess with Kellyanne Conway. She’s from Camden, and as a Jersey boy, TRUST ME, you don’t f*ck with the Camden chicks.

I’m Not Even Sure Who Rita Ora Exactly Is But She’s My Favorite Snapchat Follow

I’m about 95% sure I’ve never heard a Rita Ora song. The only reason I’m not 100% sure is because even if I had heard a Rita Ora song, I wouldn’t have known it was her anyway.

So how do I know Rita Ora? Well, when Beyonce came out of the clouds with Lemonade, people started claiming that Rita was “Becky with the good hair.” Being a dude, I was like, “Who the f*ck is Rita Ora?” Well, I did some digging, and what I found ended up being my favorite Snapchat follow.

Rita Ora is essentially a JV Rihanna, except British: she sings, she doesn’t where much clothing, and she’s got an exotic look going. Unfortunately, she’s just less talented and less famous than Rihanna.

Either way, while Rihanna may kill the Instagram game, Rita Ora absolutely MURDERS the Snapchat game. Take a look for yourself.

I may not know a single song of hers, and she may be both British and JV, but Rita Ora is still my favorite Snapchat follow.


WATCH: The Pacman Jones Arrest Video Features the Bengals CB Telling Cops To “Suck My D***”

Pacman Jones Arrest Video

Video of the Pacman Jones arrest has hit the web, and it features everyone’s least favorite Bengals defensive back telling the Cincinnati police to “suck my d***” and “I hope you die tomorrow” while he’s sitting in the back of a police car.

Some of you might remember that Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested January 3 after he started getting physical with a security guard at the Millennium Hotel. Staff at the hotel say that Pacman Jones was pounding on tons of doors in the hotel and when security confronted him, he started fighting extremely dirty (go figure). Apparently he was literally poking people in the eyes, headbutting, and kicking people before the police arrived.

Corinne From ‘The Bachelor’ Is Just Looking For Love Anddd Here She Is In A 2Chainz Music Video

As a favor for the girls over at our sister site, College Candy, I watched an episode of The Bachelor for the first time ever this week so that I could hop onto their podcast and talk about it. I’ll talk about that later in a feature I’m doing about it so you can catch that in a couple of hours (#teaser).

Anyway, whether you watch the show or not, unless you’re a legitimate hermit crab, you’ve probably heard of Corinne. She’s like the villain of the season, and by the villain, I mean that she’s being set up to dramatically make it to at least the final round. This is Corrine:

Yeah, so we’re talking about a Paulina Gretzky-esque 10. Anyway, all the girls on The Bachelor hate on Corinne because, God forbid, she uses her sexuality to get what she wants. All of the other chicks question whether Corinne, 24, is in the contest for the right reasons.

Well, despite how much the chick claims she truly is on the show to get married, her past would suggest something different. And by her past, I mean she used to be hoeing around rappers as a groupie. Yup, Corinne was once in a Juicy J & 2Chainz music video for the song “Zip & A Double Cup.” Zip. And A Double Cup.

Despite all of this, I’m still hundo #TeamCorinne. Chick knows what she wants and knows how to get it.

Jamie Anderson: Hottest Photos Of The X Games Snowboarder

Jamie Anderson's Instagram

Jamie Anderson’s Instagram

Jamie Anderson is a professional snowboarder from South Lake Tahoe, California. The 26-year-old is one of the most dominant athletes to ever jump on a board, as she boasts a truly impressive résumé. At the 2014 Winter Olympics, Jamie brought home gold for the USA with a 95.25 run in the slopestyle event. This was the first time that a slopestyle competition was on an Olympic program, so Jamie’s victory was one for the record books.

When it comes to slopestyle events at the X Games, Jamie is in a class all by herself. She’s never missed the podium in this discipline, and her 10 total slopestyle medals are the most of any rider. She’s won four golds (2007, 2008, 2012, 2013), four silvers (2010, 2014, 2015, 2016), and two bronzes (2006, 2011) at the X Games.

At the 2017 X Games, Jamie will compete in the slopestyle and big air events. Let’s do our part in wishing Jamie good luck in Aspen by taking a look at her hottest photos.

I Watched ‘The Bachelor’ For The First Time & It Was The Most Cringeworthy Experience Of My Life

0
0

I was born in 1993. The Bachelor premiered in 2002. By my calculations, The Bachelor has been on the air for more than half of my life, and yet I’ve never seen an episode.

Well, last night I watched my first ever episode of The Bachelor, and it was way more painful than I could have ever imagined. When I use the phrase cringeworthy, I mean it literally. I was physically cringing through half of the episode. I literally hid my face in my palms due to secondhand embarrassment. The Bachelor is essentially just two hours straight of women at their worst. And I always thought there was some sort of cash prize at the end… Nope! The only prize is getting engaged to whichever clown happens to be that season’s bachelor.

What I don’t understand is why these chicks even sign up for this show. Girls that look like this could have any rich dude they want. Why go through the embarrassment of a television show? Just be a regular gold digger.

Anyway, I hopped onto a podcast to talk about how little this show makes sense and how it’s essentially one giant lugee in the face of the American people.

Is Ben Roethlisberger Retiring? Big Ben Indicates He Is Unsure About His Future

Well, wouldn’t this be a shocker? In an interview with local Pittsburgh radio station 93.7 The Fan, Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger indicated that he was uncertain about his future in the NFL and even admitted that he would consider other options during the offseason.

If Roethlisberger were to hang ’em up, it would be a HUGE blow to the Steelers. As good as running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown are, “Big Ben” is the most important player on the Steelers. If he’s playing well, the team is likely playing well. The team actually has an 11-9 record without Roethlisberger in games that he’s missed, but anyone that says the Steelers would be totally fine without Roethlisberger is just lying to you.

On the flip side, I could understand why Roethlisberger might retire. The man has been sacked 456 times throughout his career and that doesn’t even include the other millions (may have made that number up) of times he’s been hit. With all of the recent incidents involving retired players dealing with concussions and other types of serious injuries, it’s sometimes better to get out of the game too early rather than too late. A lot of these guys have trouble walking years after they’re done playing and you’d have to think that Roethlisberger doesn’t want to end up like that. I would also imagine that he wants to be able to spend time with his three young children when they get older and he wants to make sure that they have a dad as they grow up.

Personally, I think he’ll be back in Pittsburgh next year, but you never know. He’s had enough success in the NFL and achieved just about everything you can as a player, so maybe he thinks it’s his time. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out.
