Week 12 of the college basketball season can be summed up in one phrase: “THAT WAS AWESOME.” 14 teams fell in the ranks last week with buzzer beaters left and right, road teams getting big wins and really nothing more you could have wanted as a fan of the game. With then #1 Villanova being one of the ranked teams to go down last week as they fell to Marquette, the Gonzaga Bulldogs are now the #1 team in this week’s AP Top 25 Poll, marking it the first time in the school’s history that they’ve been ranked #1. Now does this mean they’re going to win an NCAA title this year? Of course it doesn’t, they’re still Gonzaga and they always blow it in March. Regardless, the Top 25 is still relatively the same, with just some teams moving up and down in the rankings, but if last week is any indication of what the tournament might look like come March, we’ll be in for a special one. Here’s how the rest of the AP’s Top 25 looks this week.

While constitutional rights may seem to be crumbling left and right only two weeks into Trump’s America, the march towards the legalization of marijuana continues. Up in Maine, the first tangible results of state voters’ decision to legalize marijuana are becoming a reality as possession and home growth of marijuana have officially become legal.

Voters narrowly passed the ballot question in November, and the waiting period between the vote and marijuana’s legalization has expired.

Via Business Insider:

Contentious aspects linger, including what rules should govern businesses that will sell marijuana, such as retail stores and social clubs. The Legislature has been hammering out those details, and they will take months to fully craft, meaning it will be months before marijuana businesses open in the state.

But it’s legal to smoke it as of Monday. It’s also legal to gift it, grow it and possess up to 2.5 ounces of it.

The vote to legalize marijuana in Maine was close, passing by only about 4,000 votes.  Massachusetts, California, and Nevada also voted to legalize recreational marijuana with a referendum last year.

Mohammed Bello Abubakar, a 93-year-old Muslim cleric who wed 130 wives over the course of his life, died on Saturday, leaving behind more than 200 children. Abubakar died in Niger after an unknown illness and large crowds turned out for his funeral on Sunday.

It is believed that some of his wives are pregnant.

According to  Daily Mail, Abubakar’s personal assistant said that the cleric had a premonition of his death before he passed.

In 2008 he faced criticism from other Muslim preachers who demanded that he must divorce 82 of his 86 wives within 48 hours. However, Abubakar refused, saying it was his “divine mission” to keep marrying.

Abubakar tied the knot 130 times, with 10 of his marriages ending in divorce.

Where the hell did January go? Seemed like yesterday that the football season kicked off, and here we are at the final few days of the season leading up to the Super Bowl. Anywho, with the NFL being the talk of the sports world this week, we get to kick off Super Bowl week on the hardwood, in what should be a good ACC showdown between the #21 Duke Blue Devils, and the #20 Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Both teams have been quite inconsistent this year and could use a conference win as a confidence booster.

Duke started the year off with a bang, winning 12 of their first 13 games, but have since slipped up losing four of their last eight, including two games to unranked opponents. They avoided a second consecutive loss this past Saturday by squeaking out a win against Wake Forest 85-83, but the game probably shouldn’t have been that close in the first place. Coach K disciplined his players for their poor play in recent weeks, but it was such a slap on the wrist penalty, that I don’t know how he expects that to change anything. While I still think Duke is going to be in the tournament when March rolls around, they better get their act together soon or else they’ll probably be headed home after the first round. If sophomore guard Luke Kennard can continue to keep up his elevated level of play this year, the Blue Devils can hang around with anyone, but they can’t keep relying on him to carry the load. They’ll need much more contributions from some of their highly touted freshman going forward.

Things have not been going great for Notre Dame as of late. They’ve lost three of their last four games, including two in a row, with the last one being to unranked Georgia Tech. They’ve struggled with scoring their past two games as they haven’t even been able to crack 62 points in either or their last two games, both of which they lost. Fortunately for the Fighting Irish, they have a good conference record this year at 6-3, and have the advantage of playing at home tonight in what should be a pretty hostile crowd. I hate to sound like Captain Obvious here, but it would be in Notre Dame’s best interest to not lost tonight, because losing three games in a row, especially at this point in the season, could be terrible for their confidence and it could result in them free falling and missing the tournament altogether. I’m not sure that’ll happen, but you never know. A win tonight would be huge to get them back on track and give them the confidence going into their big weekend matchup on the road at #12 North Carolina. Two teams in desperate need of a win… Sounds like we’re going to have a good one on our hands tonight.

Before you could say ‘let’s go get a f*cking snack’, Rex Ryan’s comeback tour is underway.

Former Buffalo Bills and New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been hired by ESPN to join their on-air team for the Super Bowl this Sunday, according to Sports Business Journal. During his contact, Rex will be covering his longtime nemesis, Bill ‘Kiss My Rings’ Belichick. Ryan was let go by the Bills with one game remaining in the 2016 season after compiling a 15-16 record in 31 games with Buffalo.

The deal technically makes Ryan an ESPN employee for three hours. According to the SBJ report, Ryan will be appearing on Sunday NFL Countdown from 11 AM to 2 PM.

“ESPN says the deal only covers Super Bowl Sunday, but it clearly makes ESPN a front-runner to sign Ryan to a longer deal if he’s unable to find a coaching job he likes.”

This is a huge get for ESPN. Even as a disillusioned Jets fan, I still have a soft spot in my heart for Rex. As sad as it is, Rex and Dirty Mark Sanchez are responsible for the best times of my Jets life. Beating Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in back to back weeks? No many people can say they did that.

I’ll always root for Rex Ryan.

Man, we needed this one. Despite what recent headlines may have you believe, America is still full of inherently good, compassionate people, and this man right here, who doesn’t appear to have much for himself in the first place, is just one of the many.

Best part of the whole story? The haven’t identified who the good samaritan is. The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority is looking to identify the man who came to the aid of the driver so it can recognize him, however, they have not been able to yet. Dude didn’t even stick around to give a statement to the police, or as most people would do, take credit. He did the right thing, and carried on with his day. That’s how true heroes act.

via KansasCity.com:

The attack, which was caught on surveillance video, occurred about 12:30 a.m. Saturday near 35th Street and Troost Avenue. The bus was headed south at the time.

A male rider approached the front of the bus and said something “really vulgar” to the bus driver. The rider then moved into her space and touched her, said Cindy Baker, chief public affairs officer for the KCATA.

At that point, an older bus passenger got up from his seat, came forward and started beating the alleged attacker with a cane. He hit the alleged attacker about five times, Baker said.

That allowed the bus driver to escape the bus. Police arrived within moments and took the suspect into custody.

Talk about worst case scenario. Was the possibility of a crash occurring on the bridge not considered? Maybe put some temporary guardrails up or something? I know life is 20/20 hindsight, and I don’t know the logistics of crashes during cycle races, but I’m just spit-balling here when I say maybeeee they should have been better prepared for this.

via Grind.tv:

A cyclist was left hanging on to a bridge over a 30-foot drop after a “spectacular crash” sent his bike over the wall and into a dry creek bed below during the final sprint of the Santa Barbara County Road Race, Cat 3 on Saturday.

Peter Aquino, who finished 23rd in the race, captured footage of the scary moment when racers crashed and very nearly sent one racer to his death, or in the very least to the hospital with serious injuries

The Carefast/Storck Cycling Team identified the rider as team manager Mike Allec of Fullerton, California. The team wrote on Facebook:

“Mike Allec was involved in a spectacular crash in the final sprint that left him hanging off of a bridge above a ravine (30ft below). We are very thankful for the outpouring support from many who were there and more importantly those that helped him off of the bridge.

Yeah, spectacular is one word for it.

WWE

The Royal Rumble is over and the bromance of KO & Y2J is stronger than ever! Owens overcame Reigns and retained the WWE Universal Championship last night after a bit of assistance from Braun Strowman.

Meanwhile, two championships changed hands last night. Neville captured the Crusierweight Championship from Rich Swann. Neville is now officially “The King of the Cruiserweights.” All hail, King Barrett…I mean Neville! By the way, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson finally won the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship after months of coming up short to the top tag teams (The New Day, Cesaro & Sheamus). And their first big moment exists on a per-show. Kind of a bummer, right?

And we have a new Royal Rumble winner in the form of Randy Orton, but he’s a SmackDown superstar. Now, it’s time to get ready for Monday Night Raw!

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.

Intro: In-Ring Segment w/ Kevin Owens & Chris Jericho

Owens is elated about his victory over Reigns at the Royal Rumble. He thanks Jericho for all the help and moral support he gave him during the match. KO hugs Y2J. These two are great friends. Jericho brags about his record-breaking cumulative time spent in the Royal Rumble. He spent almost 5 hours in rumble matches over the span of his career. Last night, he spent over 61 minutes in the match. Jericho hashtags 61 minute man.

Strowman’s music hits. The mountain of a man comes down to ring and informs KO that Braun is next in line for a WWE Universal Championship match. Owens looks dumbfounded. Strowman says that Kevin promised him this match. Owens denies promising Stowman anything. Braun proves his claim by showing the audience a video from last month of KO promising Braun that he’ll be next in line for a title opportunity once Roman is out of the picture. Strowman wants the match for tonight.

Foley’s music hits. KO begs Mick to spare him. He says he’s been through hell and can’t defend the title tonight. Foley says that his trip to hell has a round trip. Owens vs. Strowman for the WWE Universal Championship is booked for later tonight.

Chris Jericho vs. Sami Zayn

Jericho knocks Sami down first, but Zayn fires back. They lock up and Zayn floors Y2J with the arm-drag. Sami lights Jericho up with chomps to the chest. Sami knocks Y2J to the ground with a dropkick through the bottom rope. However, Jericho is a savvy, sneaky veteran and pulls the referee between them to gain the upper hand.

Both competitors trade high impact moves. Jericho hits a springboard dropkick. Sami drops Jericho with a clothesline and later a moonsault off the barrier.

When we’re back from commercial, Jericho executes a sickening enziguri. Sami kicks out of Jericho’s pin attempt. Zayn smacks Y2J with a devastating clothesline. Jericho hits a flawless hurricanrana on Sami. Zayn fires back with an awesome blue thunder bomb. Y2J then gains control and locks in the Walls of Jericho. Zayn looks like he’s going to tap out. But Sami escapes the hold and tangles with Y2J. Zayn drills Jericho with an amazing exploder suplex. Sami puts the #61MinuteMan away with a helluva kick. Sami Zayn just beat the WWE United States Champion. This will probably earn Zayn a future championship opportunity.

Sami Zayn defeats Chris Jericho

Tony Nese vs. Mustafa Ali

Tony Nese decimated Ali with an exposed knee to the face to end this match.

Robert Cooper/Twitter

Robert Cooper is a pure beast at bench-pressing. He’s also an up-and-coming high school football star in Snellville, Georgia. He’s 4-star defensive tackle at South Gwinnett High School, where he imposes his might on the gridiron. He’s quite an imposing player, at 6’3″ and 350 pounds of destruction. College football scouts are definitely looking out for Cooper. Last year, he shocked his coaches and teammates when he was able to bench press 31 reps of 225 pounds. This kid is unbelievable!

Cooper is now a 16-year-old junior and is dedicated to Florida State Football’s 2018 Recruiting Class. I wonder be surprised to see this guy in NFL in 5 years time. If that doesn’t work out then he’ll definitely fit right in the WWE landscape.

Look below to watch the video of Cooper’s pushing it to the limit:

Seriously, this kid could be in the NFL like right now. The 225-pound bench press is a very vital part of of the NFL Rookie Combine. According to Tomahawk Nation, there aren’t many rookies in the NFL who can bench more than Cooper. This kid is totally badass. In the 2016 NFL Rookie Combine, only six rookies could out-lift this mini hulk. Meanwhile, at the 2015 NFL Rookie Combine, just ten players were able to best the 15-year-old Cooper. We can only imagine how much this kid can bench press now. He might just be unstoppable.

Cooper can potentially be the future of football. We’ll have to wait a little while until we see him compete collegiate or professionally, but damn can this kid lift. He’ll hope to sign with the Florida State Seminoles next year, but for now, he’ll have to stick to his local high school football field.

Cooper must be asking the world, “Do you even lift, bro?”

Father Philip Pizzo of St. Benedict Joseph Labre Roman Catholic Church, a conservative Catholic priest in the Richmond Hill area of Queens, New York City, put a meme on Facebook which encourages people who are against President Donald Trump to commit suicide.

The meme is said to have featured the words: ‘Show your hate for Trump. Do it for social justice. #JumpAgainstTrump.’

The 67-year-old told the New York Post,: ‘I do not promote suicide. I’ve helped many people over the years, and it does not promote suicide. It was funny.’

However, while Father Pizzo may consider it a joke, other parishioners were none too happy:

“Suicide is not funny, plain and simple,” said Carlos Coburn, a congregant who once sought counseling from Pizzo because he was struggling with thoughts about killing himself.

Coburn said he has attended the church for 20 years but will start worshipping elsewhere, given the controversial posting.

“It’s disturbing for someone in my situation,’’ Coburn said. “I know this man, he baptized me, and I don’t want to go back to his church.”

Diocese of Brooklyn spokesman Vita Formic aalso told thePost:

‘Father Pizzo did share the meme in question on his personal Facebook page. He says he intended it as satire only, regrets the offense it has caused and has deleted it. This post does not, in any way, represent the view of the church.’

On the day of President Trump’s inauguration, Pope Francis urged the new leader of the free world to uphold “the advancement of human dignity.”

“At a time when our human family is beset by grave humanitarian crises demanding far-sighted and united political responses, I pray that our decisions will be guided by the rich spiritual and ethical values that have shaped the history of the American people,’’ the pontiff said.

Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office authorities say they discovered 31 pounds of cocaine stashed in the nose of an American Airlines aircraft in Tulsa that is worth around $434,000. Not sure you how accidentally discover nearly half a million dollars worth of cocaine, but that’s not whats important.

Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Justin Green said the plane arrived in Miami from Bogota, Colombia (of course), on Sunday. It was flagged for maintenance and sent later that day to an American Airlines maintenance base at Tulsa International Airport.

via New York Post:

While working on the nose gear, an airline employee noticed what looked like a clump of insulation or a brick-like object and called the sheriff’s office to inspect the suspicious find.

Authorities then discovered seven bricks of cocaine, which they calculated is worth at least $14,000 a pound.

Donald Trump’s controversial “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry To The United States” immigration ban, while clearly divisive amongst the American public, is also facing blowback from both cabinet members and diplomats alike. While President Trump outlined his immigration plan for countries with terror ties during his campaign, the confusing way in which it finally was crafted “stunned” some who have joined his team.

According to Fox News, at least three top national security officials, James Mattis, Rex Tillerson, and John Kelly, distanced themselves from the new president’s controversial refugee and immigration ban, saying Monday that they were not consulted during its writing and were blindsided by the timing.

Via Fox News:

At least three top national security officials — Defense Secretary James Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson, — have told associates they were not aware of details of directive until around the time Trump signed it. Top intelligence officials were also left largely in the dark, according to U.S. officials.

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that despite White House assurances that congressional leaders were consulted, he learned about the order in the media.

According to the reports, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, whose appointment has received praise from both democrats and republicans alike, is said to be particularly incensed. A senior U.S. official said Mattis, along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford, was aware of the general concept of Trump’s order but not the details.

Similarly, Rex Tillerson, who is awaiting confirmation to lead the State Department, has told the president’s political advisers that he was baffled over not being consulted on the substance of the order.

Yup. Opening night. Does this have nothing to do with the actual movie and everything to do with the fact that Emma Watson is in my top five (along with, in no particular order, Emily Ratajkowski, Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, and Nina Agdal)? Of course.

That said, Disney is Disney and Beauty and The Beast may literally be one of their greatest movies ever. Disney’s been crushing these live-action remakes for a couple years now, so I’m beyond onboard. All in all, if they’re able to sell my 23-year-old beer-chugging, butt-scratching self, they can sell anybody.

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, when this comes out I’ll be 24. I’ll be almost a quarter of a century old, and I’ll be seeing a children’s movie on opening night. Disney, you almighty motherf*cker.

Budgets for games have gone off the deep end in recent years. A title that would have cost hundreds of thousands to produce twenty years ago now spends ten times that amount on its marketing alone (I’m looking at you Call of Duty). High production value and iconic faces and voices from Hollywood have become a cornerstone of the triple-A titles, but money and A-listers aren’t everything.

With the advent of digital distribution and mobile platform, indie games have found a foothold like never before. Without publishers breathing down the necks of developers, indie studios have been paving the way in innovative game design and are producing some of the most exciting game concepts in recent memory. 2016 was an amazing year for indie games and it looks like 2017 is shaping up to be even better.

Here is our list of the top five most anticipated indie games of 2017.

Cuphead

Developer: Studio MDHR
Platforms: PC, Xbox One
Release Date: TBA 2017

Cuphead is one of those titles with instant appeal. Its 1930s-style cartoon motif is an undeniable, nostalgia-inducing treat and everything we have seen from the previews so far makes the whole thing look like a fun romp down memory lane. The game will feature classic, side-scrolling mayhem and will even let a second player take control of Cuphead’s sidekick, Mugman. The two-man development team at Studio MDHR promises a rich story and tons of platforming fun on Cuphead’s journey to repay his debt to the Devil. Expect exciting boss battles and even a world map that has its own secrets yet to be seen. Simply put, I can’t wait.

Perception

Developer: The Deep End Games
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Release Date: TBA

Like many indie developers that have begun to pop up over the last few years, The Deep End Games development team is made up of some of the industry’s best and brightest. Perception‘s team consists of many of the developers who have worked on titles such as Dead Space and the Bioshock series. It totally makes sense that this team would join together to make a first-person narrative driven game with plenty of horror elements. Perception takes things a step further by putting players in the shoes of a young blind woman who must use echo-location to solve mysteries and escape from whatever pursues her. It is a truly revolutionary idea and the echo-effects that reveal the world around you are both beautiful and eerie. If anyone can pull off such a high-concept idea like Perception, it would be the developers behind The Deep End Games and I cannot wait to play the finished product.

Rime

Developer: Tequila Works
Platform: PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC
Release Date: TBA

Having been described as the “bastard child of ICO and Windwaker,” Rime is a gorgeous open world title that focuses on exploration in lieu of combat. That is not to say there isn’t any action, though. The game will feature plenty of adventure and puzzle-solving while a young boy who has been shipwrecked on a mysterious island must overcome challenges and uncover the truths surrounding a strange curse. The game is absolutely beautiful and looks like a title that players could get absolutely lost in as they explore the island (or islands, as one developer let slip that there may be more than one). The game was just announced to be available on all platforms so, regardless of your setup, everyone can discover Rime when it releases later this year.

Liege

Developer: Coda Games
Platforms: PC, PS4
Release Date: TBA 2017

Crowdfunding has been the bastion of larger-budget indie games for some time now and Liege joins the list of aspiring titles to totally destroy their Kickstarter campaign goals. Coda Games promises a beautiful retro-inspired world, but with a modern day flair that gives it an instant “visual identity.” At the game’s core, it is a turn-based tactical JRPG. The game also promises that there will be no transition in and out of combat. If all of these pieces come together and Coda Games delivers on their promise of a gritty dark-fantasy adventure, Liege could be one of the most exciting titles of the year.

Developer: Capybara Games
Platform: PC, Xbox One
Release Date: TBA 2017

You are alone in a dark underground cavern. You are a speck in the vast nothingness of rock and black. Can you survive and uncover the truths that lie… Below? This title by Capybara Games could honestly be one of the best to release next year or it might be one of the most frustrating. That is what makes Below so damn exciting. A top-down adventure game at its most basic, Below features procedurally-generated environments filled with enemies that players will be able to hack and slash their way through. The developers claim that combat will be “brutal but fair.” We sure hope so, as the game will also feature permadeath, meaning that once your character dies, they are dead for good. This could prove to be frustrating, but given the randomness of the environments and the ability to constantly discover new bits, Below could have what it takes to add an extra layer of tension to my gaming, which is something I have been in search of for a long while.

President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he has made his decision on whom he will nominate for the vacant Supreme Court justice position.

According to the tweet, he will make the announcement live from the White House Tuesday at 8 PM EST.

Trump has not yet disclosed the identity of his nominee, but told reporters that his pick is “unbelievably highly respected” and people will be “very impressed” by the selection. However, no matter who it is, Trump’s nominee will opposition from Democrats in the Senate as retribution for when Republicans blocked former president Barack Obama’s choice of federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland last year.

Three favorites for the position have emerged: federal appeals court judges Neil Gorsuch of Colorado, Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania and the original favorite, William Pryor of Alabama.

Umberto Ferreira dos Santos, a notorious hitman known by his nickname of Betinho, opened fire at wedding guests during the marriage ceremony inside a church in Limoeiro de Anadia, Brazil. The wedding took place at Our Lady of Conception. It was reported that the ceremony continued after the horrifying incident.

Dos Santos was plotting to take out a father and son, who were due to serve as witnesses at the wedding, in a revenge attack over the death of his own boy, according to reports from Alagoas24Horas claim.

According to the Alagoas24Horas, three people from the same family were shot at point blank range and have been identified as Cicero Barbosa da Silva, 62, his son Edmilson Bezerra da Silva, 37, and his wife, who has yet to be identified.

Luckily, there were no casualties. Cicero and Edmilson, who were at the wedding as groomsmen, underwent surgery and are in stable condition. Edmilson’s wife was released following treatment after a bullet had grazed her arm.

According to witnesses, Dos Santos parked his car in front of the church and entered behind members of the wedding party. One witness spoke to 7 Segundos news:

“We have no idea what is the motive of this attempted murder, nor why it was done precisely during the wedding, as the victims walked around the town freely and any time of the day or night.”

Police said they conducted a search of the region but have not been able to find Dos Santos.

For Chris Applebaum’s latest in his “EATS” series, the director had model Krislian Rodriguez break out some salt, ice, limes, and tequila. Usually when these ingredients join forces, they only lead to poor decisions, regretful text messages, and vast amounts of vomit.

But thankfully, that wasn’t the case in these two videos. For the first and possibly last time ever, Krislian makes this demonic concoction look like a great idea. Enjoy the ridiculously sexy Instagram videos below.

That was amazing. It more than makes up for all of the gross-ass, creepy body shots that I’ve seen go down over the years. My only concern is that I hate to see all of that expense Patrón go to waste. Hopefully, they got a shammy to adsorb that precious liquor and squeezed it back into the bottle. A penny saved is a penny earned.

For a little bonus, here is a gallery of Krislian’s most recent Instagram hits and links to some of my favorite videos in Applebaum’s tremendous “EATS” series.
