Hero Hops Down Onto NYC Subway Tracks, Saves Drunk Man Just As Train Arrives

Here’s your giant glass of NOPE for the day.

Newly-released footage shows the wild moment a New York City man hopped down onto the subway tracks at New York City’s Third Avenue station to rescue another man who was lying on the train tracks.

Jonathan Kulig, a 29-year-old New York City man, had just gotten off his L train at the Third Ave station when he saw another man fall onto the tracks on the opposite platform. Acting quickly, Kulig jumped down onto the tracks, risking his own life, and scooped up the barely conscious man.

It is unclear what cause the unidentified man to fall.

Via NY Post:

Once back on the platform, Kulig tried to ask the guy what happened, but only got mumbles in response.

Other straphangers can be heard in the background of the cellphone footage saying he had been staggering around, bumping into things before he ended up on the tracks. Kulig, who works for Con Ed, had gone through the MTA’s track-safety training program last month, so he was well equipped to make the daring rescue on the rails.

“I’m not an expert, but I knew enough to keep myself safe,” he said.

According to the FDNY, responding paramedics took the still unidentified victim to the nearby Lenox Healthplex with non-critical injuries.

“I just so happened to have taken track safety training with Metro North railroad about month and a half ago for a project most people don’t do,” he said.

Watching The Rock Watch Clips From His First Movie Is Thoroughly Entertaining

En route to taking over the world and being elected president in 2020, The Rock’s production company, Seven Bucks Productions, launched a YouTube channel. I don’t keep up with it, but I imagine if The Rock is involved in any way, shape, or form, it’s got to be entertaining. Unless it’s Ballers. F*ck Ballers, that show sucks.

But one of the Youtube series I do keep up with is Rock Reacts. The first one, where The Rock reacted to his first wrestling match, was excellent. Hearing The Rock’s insight about seminal moments in his career years after the fact gives a great perspective into the mindset of one of the world’s biggest stars.

In this version, in honor of the 15th anniversary of The Scorpion King, Dwayne Johnson’s first starring role in a movie, The Rock reacts to his acting or lack thereof.

Needless to say, The Rock has come a longggg way since he played The Scorpion King. I mean, sure, he’s almost twice the size, but he’s also twice the actor. Every time I write about The Rock, I drop this nuke of a stat: San Andreas, the movie about The Rock vs. Mother Nature with a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, made just shy of half a BILLION dollars worldwide. No other actor in the universe could drag a movie like that to that kind of height, except The Rock.

FakeSportsCentr’s Twitter

Last night’s National Championship between the Gonzaga Bulldogs and North Carolina Tar Heels was sloppy and terribly officiated, but there was one lone during spot during the game. TV cameras showed NBA Hall of Famer and Gonzaga legend John Stockton taking in the action and by his side was his daughter Laura. The internet was immediately smitten by her and it’s easy to see why.

Laura takes after her dad, as she plays guard for the women’s basketball team at Gonzaga. She just finished up her sophomore season with the Bulldogs, and she helped lead them to a 26-7 record with West Coast Conference regular season and tournament titles. They didn’t make much noise in the NCAA Tournament, though, dropping their first game to #6 Oklahoma.

As far as I can tell, Laura’s Instagram account is private, so the best way to keep up with her is on Twitter. Check out some of her hottest photos below.

Vin Diesel Net Worth 2017: How Much Is Vin Worth Now?

Vin Diesel is one of the biggest names in Hollywood thanks to the horsepower of the Fast & Furious franchise, but that wasn’t always the case. After a hot streak in the early 2000s, Diesel cooled off a bit in Hollywood circles, which makes his current level of success all the more impressive.

So how much has the muscle man made in his day?

Vin Diesel’s Net Worth as of 2017: $175 Million

But how did Diesel get here? Let’s take a look.


1990 – 1999

Vin Diesel, born Mark Sinclair Vincent, made his acting debut in 1990’s Awakenings in an uncredited role. Between 1990 and 1997, Diesel earned just three total acting credits in little-known projects, including 1997’s Strays which Diesel wrote, directed and starred in.

However, in 1998 Diesel scored a small role in Steven Speilberg’s Oscar-nominated Saving Private Ryan. This lead to a voice acting role as the titular character in the The Iron Giant in 1999. Though neither role was a traditional lead, they did put Diesel in mainstream projects that performed well both critically and financially.


2000 – 2008

Starting in 2000, Diesel’s career really began to liftoff thanks to a string of hits. The first role of note was as Chris Varick, a morally shifty Wall Street broker in the well-received Boiler Room. That same year, Diesel kicked off his first franchise with the entertaining Pitch Black.

In 2001, Diesel starred as Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious. Though no one knew it at the time, including Diesel himself, this would become his defining character and one of the most profitable properties in Hollywood.

But Diesel wasn’t done setting up franchises quite yet: In 2002 he starred in the action movie xXx and in 2004 he returned to the Riddick franchise in The Chronicles of Riddick. Unfortunately, this would mark the start of a cooling off period in Diesel’s career. Following his steady stream of action hits, Diesel would fail to find the same critical and commercial success with The PacifierFind Me Guilty and Babylon A.D.


2009 – Present

With his position in Hollywood at an unsteady place, Diesel managed to roar back to the top of the A-list by revisiting the street car racing franchise that helped to launch his career in the first place. With two sequels with little to no involvement from Diesel, 2009’s Fast & Furious saw the actor return to the series in its fourth installment. That move proved to be a good one as the film’s $363.1 million at the box office revitalized the franchise.

Since then, Diesel has reprised the role three times, including in 2015’s Furious 7, which earned an astonishing $1.5 billion worldwide, good for sixth-most all time. Another sequel – The Fate of the Furious – is slated to hit theaters on April 14.

During this career renaissance, Diesel also dropped another Riddick sequel, another xXx sequel, and grabbed a cushy voice acting role in the incredibly popular Guardians of the Galaxy franchise as the lovable talking tree Groot.

From 2012-2013, Diesel led all actors with an estimated earning of $96 million. In 2014, he earned an estimated $25 million, in 2015, Diesel cashed roughly $47 million and in 2016, he is believed to have earned $35 million. This year will likely see him received a nice payday as well.

Netflix Announces Premiere Date Of ‘The Defenders’ With First Look At The Gang All Together

With the bad taste of Iron Fist still in fans’ mouths, it may be hard to get yourself hyped about this new teaser for Marvel’s The Defenders. I haven’t seen Iron Fist, so I can’t speak to how bad or not bad it may be, but I can tell you how it has absolutely no bearing on the potential of The Defenders because that show is gonna be lit.

For everything The Avengers may commercialize, The Defenders kind of do the opposite. Just take Daredevil, who breaks major bones with ZERO regard for the enemy’s well-being. Not only are the fight sequences brutal, but they’re always gorgeously choreographed. Just feast your eyes:

Those are movie-quality fight scenes. Those two scenes alone are more intense than anything that’s happened in the dozen Marvel films. And that’s why The Defenders is going to be great. It has all the lore of superheroes with down-to-Earth action.

Set a few months after the events of the second season of Daredevil (which was FIRE), vigilantes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team up in New York City to fight a common enemy, The Hand.

The Defenders will premiere exclusively on Netflix August 18, 2017.

‘Prison Break 2017’ Cast: Meet The Full Cast Of Fox Series

If you haven’t noticed, Hollywood loves to revive old properties. (As if giving aging stars a facelift wasn’t enough, now they’re going after our nostalgic childhoods). This practice isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s becoming more and more prevalent on the small screen. Better Call SaulTwin PeaksGilmore Girls, Fear the Walking DeadFuller House, The X-Files, etc. Everything is a spinoff or a continuation these days.

The latest series to get the revival treatment is FOX’s Prison Break, with Prison Break: Sequel debuting tonight at 9:00 P.M. ET with “Ogygia.” While Prison Break debuted to critical acclaim and strong ratings back in 2005, the show fell off in later seasons and wrapped up completely in 2009 with Wentworth Miller’s Michael Scofield being killed off. Of course, the revival will provide some nifty explanation as to why that was all a fake out.

Will the new (old?) show be able to capture the magic of the original or will it feel stale and recycled? That remains to be seen. But if you’re interested, here is the complete list of the main and recurring cast.

Main Cast

  • Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield
  • Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows
  • Sarah Wayne Callies as Sara Tancredi-Scofield
  • Amaury Nolasco as Fernando Sucre
  • Robert Knepper as Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell
  • Rockmond Dunbar as Benhamin Miles “C-Note” Franklin
  • Paul Adelstein as Paul Kellerman
  • Mark Feuerstein as Jacob Anton Ness
  • Inbar Lavi as Sheba
  • Augustus Prew as Whip

Recurring Cast

  • Rick Yune as Ja
  • Marina Benedict as A&W
  • Steve Mouzakis as Van Gogh
  • Amin El Gamal as Cyclops
  • Kunal Sharma as Sid
  • Faran Tahir as Jamil
  • Christian Michael Cooper as Mike Scofield

Now that the confetti has fallen, “One Shining Moment” has been played, and Jim Nantz’ tie has been handed out, it’s time to start looking ahead to next year. Money never sleeps, so I’m already crunching numbers like Rain Man trying to sniff out a wager with some major value. I’ll most likely come up short, but I can guarantee you that the 2017-2018 National Championship won’t be nearly as poorly officiated as last night’s game. Heads will roll for that abomination.

Courtesy of Vegas Insider, here are the odds for which team will cut down the nets next year. I limited the list to teams with odds of 100/1 or better, so you won’t piss your money away on a school with three directions in their name.


Odds To Win 2017-18 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (4/2/18)

Kentucky 10/1
Louisville 12/1
Duke 12/1
Kansas 12/1
North Carolina 12/1
Villanova 12/1
Gonzaga 12/1
Arizona 20/1
Michigan 20/1
Indiana 20/1

Oregon 60/1
Seton Hall 60/1
Purdue 60/1
USC 60/1
Wisconsin 60/1
Xavier 80/1
SMU 80/1
Cincinnati 80/1
Iowa State 80/1
Creighton 80/1
Alabama 80/1
Vanderbilt 80/1
Notre Dame 80/1
UConn 100/1
VCU 100/1
Virginia Tech 100/1
Syracuse 100/1
Marquette 100/1
Maryland 100/1
Minnesota 100/1
Northwestern 100/1
Illinois 100/1
Arkansas 100/1
South Carolina 100/1
Texas A&M 100/1
Nevada 100/1
San Diego State 100/1
Utah 100/1

If I had to pick one school to throw a few bucks on it’d be Michigan State. I know they underachieved this past year, going 20-15 overall and getting bounced in the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. But they still have Tom Izzo running the show and four of their top five scorers were freshmen, so I’m thinking they are going to improve by leaps and bounds next season.

Spanish Team Loses 12-0 To Barcelona’s B-Team, Coach Is Arrested On Suspicion Of Match Fixing

Filippo di Pierro, the coach of Eldense, a team that recently lost 12-0 to Barcelona’s B team, has been arrested on suspicion of match-fixing.

Spanish police are investigating potential corruption following the 12-0 blowout on Saturday, April 1, and have arrested Eldense manager Filippo di Pierro, detaining him for questioning. Di Pierro was detained by police on Monday, April 3, who also questioned a number of players.

One of the reasons authorities are suspicious is the fact that Eldense didn’t make a single substitution during the entire game despite the drastic score.

While Saturday’s loss sealed Eldense’s relegation, the club announced on Sunday that they would not be playing any more matches this season, as well as cutting ties with their Italian investors. However, on Monday, April 3, the team announced it would participate in its remaining fixtures.

Via Independent:

Even prior to Di Pierro’s arrest one player accused his teammates of throwing the game. Cheikh Saad told radio stationRAC1: ‘There are four players involved in match fixing. I don’t care what happens, but when I can, I will give the names of these players.

‘Half an hour before playing the game against Barcelona B I was starting, but then I was out of the line up. They told a teammate this game was fixed and if he wanted to play he should not score goals.  They didn’t ask me as they knew what my answer would be. The coach knew something, I’m sure, and the players too.’

One of the club’s players, 20-year-old Michael Wayne Fernandez, was seen at the police station giving evidence in the suspected match-fixing case. Furthermore, The Sun is reporting that the club’s owner, Nobile Capuani, has ties to the Italian mafia.

Prison Break season five, also known as Prison Break: Resurrection after eight years off the air, will return on April 4, 2017 on FOX at 9:00 P.M. EST. The show originally aired for four seasons between 2005-2009 and was initially met with critical acclaim and strong ratings. However, the final two seasons were panned by fans and critics and the show’s popularity dwindled. But given the recent trend of TV revivals – Gilmore GirlsThe X-FilesFuller House, etc. – FOX is giving it another go.

Prison Break averaged an impressive 9.2 million viewers in its first season, 9.3 million in its second, 8.2 million in its third and 6.1 million in its fourth. Naturally, the executives at FOX are hoping the revival trends toward the former seasons rather than the latter.

The First Trailer For Spike’s Documentary ‘I Am Heath Ledger’ Is Here

They say there is no greater tragedy than wasted talent, and while the saying may have become a little cliche over the years, it couldn’t be any truer when it comes to Heath Ledger.

In 2008, just months before the classic (yes, modern classic) The Dark Knight was released, 28-year-old Heath Ledger died due to accidentally mixing a fatal concoction of prescription pills, leaving behind not only a life of endless potential but more importantly, a young daughter.

Now, almost a decade after the actor’s passing, a documentary about the life of Heath Ledger is coming to Spike.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the film explores Ledger’s Hollywood rise with roles in 10 Things I Hate About You, The Patriot, Brokeback Mountain, The Dark Knight, Monster’s Ball, and more. Naomi Watts, Ben Mendelsohn, director Ang Lee, and Ledger’s family and friends are some of the interviewed subjects.

I Am Heath Ledger premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 23. It will then be released in select theaters on May 3, with the documentary finally airing on Spike TV Wednesday, May 17 at 10:00 P.M. EST.

In the effort of full disclosure, I didn’t even know that the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival existed until today. But after hearing the news that Justin Timberlake and Eddie Vedder will be headlining the 2017 edition of the festival, you better believe that they are on my radar now. I’ve seen both of these badasses in concert before, and I can assure you that they know how to put on one helluva show.

This will be the third annual Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival, as the event made its debut in 2015 in Franklin, Tennessee. Last summer, Timberlake signed on as a “partner and producer” for the festival, so it makes a whole lot of sense that the Tennessee native will be performing there this year.

Here’s Why State Bicycle Is The Only Name You Need To Know In Biking

State Bicycles

The truth of the matter is that you’re probably always running late. Those five-minute trips always take you ten minutes and those ten-minute trips take you something closer to 20 minutes. But if you had a bike, that’s less likely to be a problem. The truth is that whether you know it or not, you need a bike in your life. Forgetting for a moment that the exercise they give you is extremely healthy for you (which you shouldn’t), riding a bike is also a fun way to get around.

The catch we’ve seen with buying bikes is that if they’re aesthetically pleasing, they’re probably going to be expensive. And if the bike is cheap, it’s more than likely to be a beater, or worse, stolen. Enter State Bicycles: a fixed gear bike company designed by bike enthusiasts for people who want to have fun riding bikes at an affordable price. Those of you who are familiar with our Miss COED 2017 competition know that State Bicycles stepped up and offered the winner, Maggie Arceneaux, a brand new bike. If you’re a fan of Broad City, you might also know State Bicycles from the hilarious Soulstice party at Trey’s (aka Kirk Steele) house.

What we love about State Bicycles so much is that not only are they well-reviewed and high-quality bikes which somehow manage to remain affordable, the bikes look rad as f***.

For an example of said radness, State Bicycles just did a limited collaboration with The Simpsons. The Simpsons x State Bicycle collection features everything from bikes, to apparel, to accessories which feature your favorite characters and scenes. If cartoons aren’t your cup of tea, State Bicycles have a ton of other options which include matte colors, rainbows, etc.

It’s important to keep in mind that you don’t need to be a bike enthusiast or a gear head to spark an interest in State Bicycles. Some of their bikes start at $299. Their bikes are designed for riders first, and that means comfort, control, and speed. Of course, if you are a cycling enthusiast, or want to upgrade your bike to something else, State Bicycles definitely has what you’re looking for.

Even their Instagram is 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥. Go ahead and check them out in some of the pictures below.

ETSU Sigma Alpha Epsilon Suspended For Remainder Of Semester

Eastern Tennessee State University has suspended its Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter for the remainder of the spring 2017 semester. This is the second time in six months that the fraternity has been suspended.

The suspension comes after the completion of an investigation into a February incident where the fraternity had an unregistered party and a student was sent to the hospital due to an alcohol-related incident.

Furthermore, school administrators said that following the investigation, the fraternity faced judicial charges. During a March meeting, the university’s Judicial Board then suspended the fraternity for the rest of the semester.

Via WJHL:

The suspension means the fraternity can’t do things like hold meetings or recruit members. Dr. Jeff Howard, Associate Vice President of Student Engagement said the fraternity does not have an extensive history of trouble.

“This chapter has a very small conduct record, there has not been a lot during the duration of their time at the university so it’s been a while, they were in good standing before this occurred,” Dr. Howard said.

However, Howard said the fraternity is complying with the educational sanctions, and that based on their actions, he believes they could return to good standing for the fall semester.

ETSU also placed fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha on interim suspension in November of 2016 for a similar violation involving an unregistered party that involved alcohol.


Sigma Alpha Epsilon History

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded by Noble Leslie DeVotie, Nathan Elams Cockrell, John Barratt Rudulph, John Webb Kerr, Samuel Marion Dennis, Wade Hampton Foster, Abner Edwin Patton, and Thomas Chappell Cook on March 9, 1856 at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Not only did DeVotie have the coolest name of the bunch, but he was also the leader.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon grew rapidly, as they had their first national convention in 1858. They expanded north of the Mason-Dixon line for the first time in 1883, establishing a chapter at Pennsylvania College (now Gettysburg College). They’ve since grown to have chapters in all 50 states. In March of 2014, Sigma Alpha Epsilon eliminated pledging, becoming the first large national fraternity to do so.

James Corden cut his teeth in British television and theater before replacing Craig Ferguson as the host of CBS’ The Late Late Show. He hosted the 2017 Grammy Awards on February 12 and the 2016 Tony Awards, proving his well-rounded talent in impressive fashion.

As his hosting gig only just started in 2015, Corden’s net worth doesn’t rival that of Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Fallon. But that doesn’t mean he’s not worth a few shekels.

James Corden’s Net Worth as of 2017: $12 Million

But how did Corden get here? And how did he do it in only a handful of years? Let’s take a look.


2007 – 2010

Corden made his acting debut in 1996, but he first really rose to fame with the 2007-2010 BBC TV series Gavin & Stacey, which he co-created and co-wrote. During this time, Corden appeared in a number of other projects, including Vampire Killers (2009), Gulliver’s Travels (2010) and Doctor Who (2010).


2011 – 2014

In 2012, Corden won a Tony Award for his role in One Man, Two Guvnors. The song-and-dance man also appeared in the 2014 fantasy musical Into the Woods, which earned $213 million worldwide off of a $50 million budget. During the years, Corden appeared to appear in TV, film and the stage, including the 2013 movie Begin Again alongside Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley.

In 2015, CBS hired Corden to host The Late Late Show. Initially, Corden signed a three-year deal worth $2 million in the first year. However, the show became an overnight success thanks to Corden’s natural talent, like-ability and viral sensations such as Carpool Karaoke (the show’s YouTube account has 10 million subscribers as of April 2017). In August 2015, he was offered a two-year extension which will keep him at CBS until 2020 for an additional $3.9 million.

Everybody always wants to know what the next big thing is before it actually gets here. They want to know what’s next. People scour the internet looking for the next highlight reel that makes you pass the phone to all your friends so they know you’re the one who introduced them to the next big athlete.

Kevin Knox II is that athlete. Knox was once a high school football star, waiting to become the next big thing while schools clamored to get his attention. Following in the footsteps of his father, former NFL player Kevin Knox, his eyes were set on the pros. His dreams had to change when he sprouted to 6’8″ and became a five-star basketball prospect overnight. Now, his dreams have shifted to a different league. It’s time to take a look at the dual-sport athlete Kevin Knox II.

High School Football Career

When your Dad makes it into the NFL, you have to expect to at least try following in his footsteps. Kevin Knox wasn’t a household name by any means, but his productive college career at Florida State did land him in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. When his son hit high school, it looked like he was going to not only be able to play at the college level, but he’d be able to hand pick his place at any school in the country. Knox II started at quarterback for Tampa Catholic High School his sophomore year, passing for just under 1,000 yards with eight touchdowns. It was his height and natural athletic ability that made him look like the next stud you’d see dominating on Saturdays while you’re hungover on your couch watching football, but a six-inch growth spurt put him on the map for the hardwood.

Knox II played sparingly his freshman year, but that was before his growth spurt left him towering over opponents. While still maintaining the same athletic ability and court vision he had as a guard, Knox II has been able to have his way with anybody foolish enough to try guarding him. In his breakout sophomore year,  he averaged 24.4 points and 10 rebounds, which put him on the map. He still has the pick of any school he wants, but now it’s for hoops. The five-star recruit is fresh off a senior season in which he averaged 28.9 points and 11.3 rebounds.

Even though he surprised everyone by becoming a basketball star rather than a football phenom, he’s not exactly a hidden treasure. Knox II was featured on the 2016 Under-17 United States Men’s Basketball team, where he helped his country bring home the gold medal twice in the Fiba U17 World Championship. The Tampa Catholic star also was named to the McDonald’s All-American East squad, where he racked up 15 points in just 19 minutes.

Knox II is officially on everyone’s radar and has everyone highly anxious to figure out where the top-ten prospect will fall. He’s one of the best recruits who has yet to commit, although he has narrowed his list down to Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, and Kentucky. He plans on breaking the news (and the hearts of the schools he doesn’t choose) sometime in April.

Wrestling Legend Diamond Dallas Page Flips Out On Dan Le Batard, Calls Him A Monkey

Look, Dan Le Batard isn’t for everybody. In fact, few sports talk show hosts are for everybody. When you think about it, it’s essentially their job to be divsive. That is especially true when it comes to ESPN’s Dan Le Batard.

Le Batard’s abrasive, he’s arrogant. His show is sloppy and unfocused. But he’s honest and authentic. He’s never intimidated by his guests. Le Batard is willing to go where few, if any, sportscasters will. And that’s what makes him great — he’s always pushing boundaries, and therefore, pushing buttons.

Sometimes, well, most times, that pushing works out for Le Batard. He’ll usually get rare authenticity out of an athlete, or at the very least, go viral for something else entirely.

Orrrrr… it turns out like this, with the guest calling him a monkey (is it racist to call a Spanish dude a monkey?) and hanging up the phone.

via Complex:

During the course of his interview, Dan Le Batard pressed him for details about his real-life feuds with fellow wrestlers Ric Flair and Scott Steiner.

DDP and Steiner were involved in an infamous altercation backstage at a WCW event in 2001 that reportedly ended with Steiner trying to rip DDP’s eyes out. Steiner was unsuccessful, but the fight obviously led to some bad blood between the two. And Le Batard wanted to know more about the fight and how it impacted their relationship moving forward.

“You tried to rip his eyes out!” Le Batard yelled. “Or did he try to rip your eyes ? Who tried to rip whose eyes out there? Somebody tried to rip somebody’s eyes out there.”

Never change, Le Batard. You’re one of the only bright spots left at the mothership.
