As many of you know, 420 is tomorrow, meaning plans must be arranged.

Everyone has their own way of celebrating. Some people like to role as many blunts as their hands can muster, while other people ingest as many edibles as their stomach, or their minds will allow.

Some people order a bunch of pizza and wings, while other people stick to snacks.

But one thing everyone has is common is that they’re high, the only difference is how high they are. And I know one things for sure — no one is going to be as high as the dudes who got to eat this brownie.

If the Portland Trail Blazers want a chance to even their series with the top-seeded Golden State Warriors, then they need to bring the rain tonight. Kevin Durant, who put down 32 points in the opener, is now listed as questionable for Game 2 with a strained left calf. Damian Lillard boasted that Portland could win in six, but they’ll need to start winning tonight.

Durant missed a large portion of the final chapter of the regular season thanks to a knee injury. Although this latest ailment isn’t as serious, it could be enough to keep him out of Game 2. The advantage could go to the Trail Blazers after sticking around with the Warriors in Game 1.

Portland’s backcourt had no problem in the opener. Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for 75 points in the first game. To put that into perspective, the entire team scored 109 on the night. Stephen Curry finished with 29 points for the Warriors.

Durant, Draymond Green, and the rest of Golden State’s frontcourt were too much to overcome for the Trail Blazers. The Warriors have the best record for the NBA for a reason, and the Trail Blazers are going to need to find more offense from other players than McCollum and Lillard to attempt to tie the series before going back to Portland.

With Game 2 set to tip-off tonight at the ORACLE Arena, here’s all the ways to catch all the action tonight.

Ehab Jaber, a self-described Muslim-American man from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was not arrested by police after streaming a video on Facebook Live outside of a Christian conference in which he showed off an arsenal of guns. Jaber also made verbal threats in the video.

Jaber recorded the video on Saturday, April 9, at the Worldview Weekend Christian gathering in Hilton Garden Inn South in Sioux Falls.

According to Brannon Howes, the president of Worldview Weekend and host of Worldview Weekend Radio and TV, an off-duty cop confronted Jaber, requesting him to stop filming near the conference with an estimated attendance of about500 people, including women and children.

In the videos, Jaber is both inside the event and in his van in the parking lot, where he shows off his arsenal.

“And now if you want to really be scared… be scared,” he says as he shows off his AK-47.

Jaber then puts down the AK-47 to reveal two hidden handguns on his person and others in the van, saying ‘be scared’ as he reveals each one. He then shows off an AR-15 assault rifle, saying ‘Be f*cking terrified.’

In the series of videos recorded by Jaber recorded a series of videos, he is wearing a shirt that reads: ‘I am a Muslim, I open carry and conceal carry and I am only dangerous if you are stupid.’.

Despite all this, Jaber was not arrested.  The state of South Dakota allows open carry and Sioux Falls police officer Sam Clemens said that Jaber had a concealed carry permit .

“He was approached by police while in the event, and acknowledged that he was carrying weapons,” Clemens told The Daily Caller. “The police informed him that firearms were not allowed in the event and was asked to leave. He complied.”

Micaela Schäfer certainly isn’t shy when it comes to the camera. She’s a red hot beauty queen, who is not afraid to bare it all for the entire whole to see. She is simply exquisite. A true living, breathing work of art.

Micaela was born on November 1, 1983 in Leipzig, Germany. She’s won multiple beauty contests, including Miss Maxim, Miss Venus, and Miss East Germany.

In 2006, Schäfer participated in the first season of Germany’s Next Top Model. She finished eighth place in the competition. Even though she was eliminated from that show, plenty of doors began opening for Micaela, and she found herself participating in a slew of TV programs.

As her career matured, Micaela moved onto erotic modeling, singing, and DJing. She is more than open with showing off her gorgeous figure (just take a tiny peek at that gallery, and you’ll know exactly what I mean).

Micaela even glorifies her beauty body as a DJ. Sometimes, she’ll even spin sets in the nude. That’s dedication!

A Nintendo console generation doesn’t officially start until a Mario Kart title comes fling out of the gates. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fills that need for the month-and-change-old Switch. The revamped 2014 Wii U title is so instantly addictive, painstakingly polished and flat-out fun that it will doubtlessly pull off the incredible feat of replacing early adopters’ Breath of the Wild obsession in favor of blue shell-dodging mayhem. Revamped multiplayer, new courses, characters and parts not only add a spit-shine to what was already an incredible game, but manage to reinvent the package into a thrilling and versatile thrillride that gives gamers yet another reason to stalk the store shelves for a hard-to-find Switch.

Games: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Consoles: Switch (reviewed)
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo
Release Date: April 28

Mario Kart games have been among the best first-party games on each Nintendo system, dating to the ancient Super NES days of the early 90s. Each generation has improved on what came before by a staggering amount, with the handheld and home console iterations branching off on different paths. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe melds those two directions into a cohesive core, providing a dynamite cartoonish racing experience for players both on the couch or the go. The gravity-twisting flair some courses add remains, and an amped-up battle mode restores the heedless glee of that facet’s high point on the GameCube’s Double Dash. Even the long-derided blue shell, which those annoyed with the franchise’s rubber-banding AI love to whine about, has an antidote in the form of an air horn that neutralizes the weapon when deployed at just the right time. As the online proving ground shows race in and race out, this is a game that consistently rewards skill. It’s the best players who end up making most of their own difference-making luck.

In a new twist for the series — and an acknowledgment from the developers that many players have already seen and done most of the content the new game offers — nearly all of the courses, racers and items are unlocked from the start. You can dive right in to the maniacal 200cc division, or start things off the traditional slow way by wading in the 50cc kiddie pool. There are still many surprises in store in the form of a consistent bread crumb trail of unlockables that emerge with the more coins you rack up. Borrowing from irritating concept from gem-hording mobile games, you rack up goodies as your virtual wallet fattens. There is thankfully no option to cut your playtime short by springing for currency with actual money. Nintendo plays to the old-school sentiment of making you earn everything you get with gameplay dedication and success.

Much of what makes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seem fresh and vital on the Switch has to do more with the console itself than the software updates. Each of the myriad control options brings something different to the table. Couch multiplayer fans will want to dock the device and play split-screen multiplayer, and the game will be an instant party hit in tabletop mode, with the kickstand supporting the small screen as hunched-over players battle it out. More serious players will want to invest in a Pro Controller and stick with TV mode, while near-sighted obsessives will eschew the TV entirely to play the game as a portable, avoiding any chance of lag or wonky detached Joy-Con interference. You can also play on the TV with a Joy-Con in each hand, simulating the Wiimote-Nunchuk feel of Mario Kart Wii.

Once you get past the irritation of forking over $60 for what is essentially a primped-up version of a three-year-old game, it’s easy to fall under the spell of the maddening surge of adrenaline Mario Kart 8 Deluxe offers. Controller-smashing defeats and improbable comebacks have a way of pulling you into the flow, encouraging you to play just one more course before you manage to separate yourself from the screen. This is a game that has a way of sucking hours out of your life, which makes it all the more liberating to be able to take it with you on commutes and waiting room drudgery. As the Switch finishes its second month, it’s produced two monumentally amazing games to justify the hysteria over the fast-selling system. Now that Kart is available, the red light has turned green and it’s time to slam on the gas without looking back.

We’ve all had asshole professors, however, being an asshole and being completely ignorant are two different things entirely. The following example is an unabashed example of flaming ignorance.

An anonymous United States college professor has set Reddit on fire after an uploaded email exchange shows the professor, known only as Joshua, being dismissive of a student who was attempting to mourn the death of a friend.

When “Joshua” replied to the student’s request for accommodations so she should could attend a funeral, instead of expressing sympathy like a normal non-sociopathic human, the professor was more concerned with email semantics.

‘Hello Professor. I was wondering if I could take Thursday’s in-class quiz that’s on the 20th on Tuesday the 18th instead. I have a funeral service to attend to morning of Thursday, so I will not be able to make it,’ the stuent wrote in the intial email.

‘Hi Ana,’ the professor wrote back. ‘Please resend your email with a proper closing and a more relevant subject line. Thanks, Joshua.’

According to a Reddit comment by Ana, the user who posted the email, the professor aware that the funeral was taking place because the deceased was a member of the college community and a school-wide email had been sent to students and staff.

Sorry, folks. I know it’s Thursday and you’ve probably had enough politics for the week (or for your lifetime, ’cause same). But I just could not let this one slide. It was too hilarious of an opportunity to pass up.

Our boy Donnie Freedom seems to have a proportions problem. Whether it be the size of his hands or the size of the crowd at his inauguration, Donald Trump always seems to be coming up a little… short.

The hand thing… that’s whatever. Big guy, tiny hands — whatever. If I’m Trump and someone rips on me for having tiny hands, it wouldn’t really phase me considering that one of the rings on said hand could potentially cost more than the dude’s house.

The inauguration thing… that’s also kind of whatever. I’m going to call a spade a spade and say the only reason Obama’s inauguration attendance numbers were so high is because people wanted to be a part of history and be there when the first African-American was sworn in as president.

When you read about history in your sixth-grade textbooks, you learn about Washington crossing the Delaware and Lincoln catching one to the back of the dome piece and Roosevelt telling us fear should be our only fear. There are certain individual moments that define and shape the nation, and Obama’s first inauguration is of that ilk. That’s a story you tell your grandkids.

Now, Trump’s inauguration was a little bit different. Yes, it was historic, but no one wanted to be a part of that history, so he should have known he’d never have a chance of having a massive inauguration. In fact, I’d argue even Hillary’s crowd would have been smaller than Obama’s. Besides, if you’re president, you shouldn’t be concerned with being lauded and applauded, you should be in it to do the right thing for the American people. And BITCHING about the size of your inauguration crowd is not what’s best for the American people (but that’s another issue for another day).

All this said, the point I’m trying to make is that I absolutely HAVE to write about these photos. Maybe had Donnie Freedom not made such a big hoopla out of his inauguration crowd size and photos and fake news and blah f*cking blah, I would have let this one slide. But he didn’t, so I won’t.

I do not care about the context of the photo, this is another bad visual for Donnie, especially considering that his ‘boy’ Tom Brady didn’t even show up. 34 players didn’t show up to the event. Active rosters are, what, 53 men? It’ll be interesting to see how he puppeteers Spicer into spin-zoning this one. You know, with the inauguration photos, they’re so zoomed out you could argue that was photoshopped (even though it clearly wasn’t), but here, you’re up close and personal. Spicer has had a rough enough month, maybe Trump just lets this delusion slide and accepts reality.

And while we’re on the topic of people I can’t f*cking stand, total bitch move of Tom Brady to not show up. Brady has handled this WHOLE Trump situation like a scumbag since Day 1. He’s the one who introduced the conversation about Trump by sticking his MAGA hat in his locker, and then when he was questioned about it, he became defensive. Now, when his team wins the Super Bowl and the right to visit the White House, Brady doesn’t even have the balls to stick to his convictions, because his actual balls are in Giselle’s grasp.

To summarize: Donnie Freedom = sucks. Tom Brady = no balls.

Indiana University is stepping up to the plate and serving as the go-to example of morality for all colleges, which is a little funny since I’ve been to Little 5 and it was the most debaucherous thing I’d ever seen in my life. But I digress.

IU has announced a new policy that bans incoming student-athletes from participating if they have a history of sexual or domestic violence. The policy states that any student:

“…who has been convicted of or pled guilty or no contest to a felony involving sexual violence, or has been found responsible for sexual violence by a formal institutional disciplinary action at any previous collegiate or secondary school (excluding limited discipline applied by a sports team or temporary disciplinary action during an investigation) shall not be eligible for athletically-related financial aid, practice or competition at Indiana University.”

Good.

The policy continues, saying that sexual violence is “dating violence, domestic violence, rape, sexual assault or sexual violence as defined by the Indiana University policy on sexual misconduct.”

The new policy was approved by the Indiana University-Bloomington Faculty Athletics Committee on April 12. One of the driving forces behind the new policy was Athletic Director Fred Glass, who I now respect immensely.

“I think it’s new ground,” Glass told our media partners at the IndyStar. “My hope is that we’re leading in this area, and maybe others will follow with, maybe not the exact same policy, but one that fits their particular institutions.”

The writing of the new policy was a collaborative effort between several campus departments, including IU’s Office of Student Welfare and Title IX and its Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

In 2015, the SEC banned its schools from accepting transfers from athletes with a history of misconduct, including sexual assault, domestic assault or other forms of sexual violence.

The Big Ten (IU’s conference) doesn’t have an umbrella policy in this regard. Instead, it lets its member institutions determine their own guidelines. Glass said the SEC’s policy influenced the one now in place at IU.

“It’s something the SEC, with their transfer ban, I think raised the issue generally,” Glass told the IndyStar. “We’ve been working on that since that time, in trying to put something together that makes sense for Indiana University.”

This is great news. For years, our prestigious institutions – whether they be academic or professional – have been telling these athletes that their talent is more important than their moral fiber. Disgusting actions have not been met with proper consequences, which only reinforces the notion that this behavior is acceptable. Instilling this type of standard at the early stages of athletic careers can help reverse that trend. It sends a clear message that golden opportunities will not be presented to those that do not deserve them.

Bravo, IU. Well played.

John Wall is a baller. Anyone watching the 2017 NBA playoffs can tell you that. The Washington Wizards came into the postseason with their highest win total since the 1978-79 season (yes, you read that correctly) thanks to Wall’s play this year. At just 26-years-old, Wall still has a long and lucrative career ahead of him. But how has he made out so far during his time in the NBA? That’s an excellent question.

John Wall’s Net Worth as of 2017: $40 Million

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

2010 – 2013

The Washington Wizards selected Wall out of the University of Kentucky with the first overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. At 19-years-old, Wall signed a four-year rookie contract with the Wizards worth slightly more than $24 million. In the first year of the deal, Wall earned $5.1 million while averaging 16 points and 8 assists during his rookie year. He also signed a shoe deal with Adidas early in his career, though that contract has since expired.

Wall would go on to earn yearly salaries of $4.5 million, $5.9 million and $7.5 million throughout the remainder of his rookie contract. After proving to be one of the NBA’s best point guards in that time, Wall was rewarded with a fat new contract.

Wall has been named to four straight NBA All-Star games since 2014. In that time, he’s also been named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2015) and notched an NBA Slam Dunk Contest Dunker of the Night Award (2014) while leading the Wizards to steady improvement. As such, it’s no surprise that he’s being paid accordingly.

Before the 2014-2015 season, Washington re-signed Wall to a five-year deal worth $84.8 million. This year, he was the 50th highest-paid player in the league and earns an average salary of $16.9 million per year.

To date, Wall has earned around $47.4 million in base salary from this new deal.

Every year, all 32 NFL franchises have one essential inquiry to address that could determine the outlook of their organization for years to come: take the best player available or fill a position in need? This year, more than ever, this question will be immensely difficult to answer. Given the incredible depth at nearly every position (excluding quarterbacks), NFL franchises will have their hands full with selecting the ideal athlete for their team. While any great NFL team cannot be completely constructed through the draft, it is paramount that each organization remains tactful so as to avoid selecting a first round bust.

1. Cleveland Browns

Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M: 

While the Browns have attempted to befuddle their competitors with conflicting rumors about whether they will take Garret or a quarterback in Mitch Trubisky, it seems highly unlikely they will leave the dominant linebacker on the table. Barring any type of king’s ransom trade for the number one pick, the Browns will be getting a franchise reviving athlete.  Speed, power and sheer athleticism, Garret does it all and will only get better once he moves on to the NFL. His career stat line of 48.5 TFL(tackles for loss), 32.5 sacks and five forced fumbles over 36 starts alone should leave little doubt that Garrett is unquestionably the first overall pick in the NFL draft.

2. San Francisco 49ers

Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford:

Although there is a slight chance that the 49ers could take a quarterback here to develop (quarterback Brian Hoyer was taken in free agency to compete for a starting position), they will most likely pick a crucial defensive weapon. Enter Solomon Thomas. Aside from Thomas’ durability (played all 27 games in two seasons), his quickness and ball recognition skills make him a defensive asset that can contribute right away. On top of his physical attributes, Solomon has the mental toughness and unwavering effort on the field that allows him to compete consistently on every play. It would be shocking if the 49ers passed up a chance to grab this all around superb defensive end.

3. Chicago Bears

Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama

The Chicago Bears could address a multitude of defensive needs with this pick. While cornerback Marshon Lattimore (Ohio State) would also be solid selection here, it is hard to deny both the physical skill set and intriguing intangibles of defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.  His versatility as a dominant pass rusher and run stopper alone make him worthy of a top pick. However, his work ethic on and off the field have launched this premiere NFL talent into the top five. While there are some concerns over his long-term durability, Allen is more than worth the risk given all the positives he will bring to the team that selects him.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

While the Jacksonville Jaguars could go with a defensive back here, they need to improve an anemic offense. With questions surrounding quarterback Blake Bortles’ consistency as a starting passer, the Jaguars needs to secure a offensive contingency plan. Despite Fournette’s durability concerns, this vicious running back as the potential to be one of the most aggressive play makers in the pros. Simply put, Fournette runs with a gusto and fearlessness that would strike trepidation in any defensive line that has to face him. Although Fournette took a slight step back last year due to health, his dominant sophomore season (2,206 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns) is indicative of a supreme competitor who can any carry team offensively.

5. Tennessee Titans (From Los Angeles Rams)

Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

The Titans could easily go with a safety here, but if Lattimore drops to them it would be hard to pass on arguably the best corner in the draft. His instincts and composure on the field will allow Lattimore to step up as a leader in the defensive backfield right away. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in his ability to locate the ball quickly and his impressive physicality. If Lattimore can continue to get stronger, he will be a shut down corner that will bring a much needed presence to a weak Titans secondary.

6. New York Jets

Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Although the Jets are a mess at the quarterback position, picking quarterbacks Deshaun Watson or Mitch Trubisky here would be a reach given the development they both need to be a reliable starter. With that in mind, the Jets would do well to rebuild their defense starting with Jamal Adams. Adams can play multiple positions and easily grasps defensive schemes that are put before him. While he matches up well in tight man coverage against tight ends and big slot receivers, he specializes as a run defender. His quickness allows him to thread through creases to get to the ball consistently and has the length to wrap up even the most evasive runners. If Adams can work on his cover skills, he will be an immediate contributor to a woeful Jets defense.

Given how poor the Chargers defense was last year (26.4 points allowed per game, 29th in NFL), it only makes sense that they would take a defensive back that can thrive immediately in a pass happy league.  What makes Hooker a great pick here are his excellent instincts in coverage and his awe-inspiring ball skills. His tenacity when it comes to attacking the ball makes him a exciting game changer who can quickly shift momentum in late game situations (something the Chargers struggled with last year). Although Hooker has some issues when it comes to stopping the run, his overwhelming abilities in stifling pass heavy teams will make him a perfect fit for the Chargers

8. Carolina Panthers

O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

While the Panthers would not be wrong in selecting a dominant defensive end here given the age of their three main edge rushers (Julius Peppers, Charles Johnson, Mario Addison are all 37, 31 and 30 years old respectively), it seems likely they will snatch up the best tight end of the draft here given how reliant they have been on tight end Greg Olsen (garnered over 2,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in last two seasons). Like Olsen, Howard has tremendous hands and quick reflexes that will allow him to catch nearly any pass that is thrown his way.  Combine that with his speed (4.51 forty yard dash) and drastic improvement as a blocker and Howard could be the versatile athlete that will the heir apparent to an aging Greg Olsen.

9. Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Given how unproductive the Bengals were on offense last year (20.2 PPG, 24th in NFL), it seems like a no brainer that this team should take a prolific receiver here to go along side A.J. Green and tight end Tyler Eifert. Just from watching the tape of the National Championship game against Alabama it is abundantly evident that Williams has the hands and body control to make big catches against gifted defenses. His on the field awareness is an ideal intangible for a big play wideout that knows where he needs to be to get a first down.  While Williams’ separation skills need some work, his nearly unprecedented capabilities in every other respect will allow this exciting young player to excel early and often.

10. Buffalo Bills

Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

While I am hesitant to select any quarterback in the draft this high, I believe Watson would be walking into an ideal situation in Buffalo. Given the trepidation the Bills have with current starter Tyrod Taylor, Watson could come into training camp and at least make a concerted effort to win the starting job. Aside from his impressive mental make up as a battle tested leader, Watson has the instincts and mobility to make monumental plays when they are needed the most.  Although Watson has accuracy issues, this is primarily due to rushing passes in the heat of the moment. Beyond that, Watson has an above average release and is more than capable of making throws at the next level. If the Bills look at Watson’s intriguing upside and can be patient in his development, this may be viewed as the pick that changed this franchises outlook for years to come.

11. New Orleans Saints

Haason Reddick, ILB, Temple

Although Reuben Foster is the understandable favorite here given his base skill set, I believe Reddick has the higher ceiling in terms of his versatility. While Reddick has been highly criticized for being undersized, the former walk on safety adjusted quickly and effectively to linebacker (22.5 TFL’s and 10.5 sacks during 2016 season). Despite lining up primarily as an edge rusher at Temple, Reddick showcased his versatility as a off the line backer at the senior bowl.  While their is certainly room for improvement in terms of absorbing contact, his high ceiling athletically makes him an exciting pick up for the Saints.

12. Cleveland Browns (From Philadelphia Eagles)

Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

While there have been numerous reports circulating that the Browns are intrigued by quarterback Mitch Trubisky, it would be premature to use the 12th overall pick on a passer that only started one season at North Carolina. As I believe they will take Garrett with their first pick, it seems prudent that the Browns continue to build up their defense by drafting a strong corner in Gareon Conley. First off, Conley is highly intelligent on the field. On tape, Conley can be frequently seen guiding his fellow defensive backs into position and can read opposing offenses exceptionally well. Physically, Conley has great ball skills and has the quick reflexes to locate the ball while it is in the air.  While Conley will have to work on staying close to the faster receivers in the NFL, his coveted intangibles and quickness will serve him well with the Browns.

13. Arizona Cardinals

John Ross, WR, Washington

I could also see a possible reach for a quarterback here as well, depending on how the Cardinals feel about Carson Palmer for the near future. However, considering how top heavy the receiving class is this year, it would be difficult for the Cardinals to pass on someone like Ross.  Known mainly for his break neck speed, Ross has spectacular hand-eye coordination and solid body control when working the sidelines.  Not only can Ross go deep quickly, once he has the ball in his hands he does an exceptional job at making at least one defender miss on a tackle. The only knock on Ross is his size at under six feet. However, if Ross can use his speed to his advantage, he could become a favorite deep threat target for Palmer.

14. Philadelphia Eagles (From Minnesota Vikings)

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

Although the Eagles could go with a strong defensive back here, the Eagles primary focus should be on strengthening their offense to help Caron Wentz take the next step in his development. While there are several great running backs this year, none posses the versatility that McCaffrey has. Between his body control and natural vision, McCaffrey has attributes of both the tangible and intangible variety.  He has an excellent initial burst of speed and has the ability to make sharp cuts at full speed, which makes him difficult to tackle in the open field. However, McCaffery truly thrives as a receiving back as he is a highly advanced route runner.

15. Indianapolis Colts

Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky

For the Colts, there cannot be any doubt that this team needs to strengthen their offensive line…desperately. Guard Forrest Lamp is an ideal fit here simply because he is highly effective in pass protection. Lamp is aggressive at shooting his hands inside and is difficult to shake once he gets his massive mitts on a defender. Although he is on the lighter side for a guard, he is a quick shuffler and is able to throw off speed rushers who attack the quarterback.

16. Baltimore Ravnes

Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

The Ravens would be absolutely thrilled if Davis were to drop to them. If he does, they would be getting one of the best route runners in the draft. While the Ravens will love Davis for his ability to track the deep ball, they will be extremely impressed with his toughness to catch passes in the middle of the field while taking a hit.  Most importantly, Davis is great at catching contested balls when defensive backs drape themselves over him. If Davis can improve his consistency when it comes to jump ball situations, he will provide a much needed boost to a thin Ravens receiving corps.

17. Washington Redskins

Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama

Make no mistake; Reuben Foster is easily a top five talent. However, his altercation with a hospital worker during the combine could knock him back a few spots. In which case, the Redskins could steal Foster and get a much needed three down inside linebacker. Foster is fantastic at stopping the run as he can get from sideline to sideline and can quickly close in on gaps that most running backs would escape through. He is also very adept at reading the quarterback and can locate throwing lanes to disrupt a pass. If the Redskins can look past some of Foster’s character flaws, they will be getting one of the most talented linebackers in the draft.

18. Tennessee Titans

Kevin King, CB, Washington

Although I have the Titans taking Marshon Lattimore with the fifth pick, it couldn’t hurt for the Titans to beef up their secondary with another intriguing corner. King is known for his football intelligence and is underrated at being able to read the eyes of the quarterback. King is also adept at utilizing his length to snatch balls away from his body. Although he is somewhat inconsistent when it comes to his tackling ability, his size and hands make him a great pick up for the Titans regardless if they have already taken a corner with their earlier pick.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

David Njoku, TE, Miami

While tight end Cameron Brate had a breakout season with the Buccaneers in 2016 (57 catches, eight touchdowns), Njoku has a much higher ceiling. A great route runner, Njoku is very effective at creating separation in man coverage. He also has the rare length and leaping ability that provides him with an impressive catch radius.  Although Njoku has issues as a blocker, his offensive capabilities make him a great fit for a high octane Buccaneers offense.

20. Denver Broncos

Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Whether Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch starts at quarterback for the Broncos, this team will need any potential stout pass protectors they can get. Despite below average length, Ramczyk can effectively push oncoming rushers away from the quarterback. He also has great awareness in reading and picking up blitzes. Ramczyk’s only noticeable downside is his slight lack of aggression. Beyond that, Ramczyk should flourish at tackle for the Broncos

21. Detroit Lions

Takkarist McKinley, DE, UCLA

Although the Lions already have a great pass rusher in Ezekiel Ansah, they could definitely use a young talent that could line up on the opposite side. Out of all of the defensive prospects, McKinley has the best motor and simply never quits on a play. While he doesn’t have the smoothest shuffle, he makes up for it with immense strength. McKinley still needs to work on his balance when he comes in quickly. However, his unwavering tenacity will allow him to grow and excel with the Lions.

22. Miami Dolphins

Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan St.

Although one of the rawer defensive prospects this year, McDowell could be one of the most talented athletes in the draft. A defensive lineman who rarely gets knocked off his feet, McDowell has great closing burst when it comes to pursuing the quarterback. He has freakish upper body strength and when he is dialed in the effort he puts forth is amongst the best in his class. With some polish and work on is inconsistent motor, McDowell could eventually become one of the best defensive lineman in the NFL.

23. New York Giants

Jarrad Davis, ILB, Florida

While the New York Giants had one of the best secondaries in the league in 2016, they could have used more dominance at the linebacker position. Last years first round draft pick B.J. Goodson only played 14 snaps so the Giants will look to the draft again to fill the lack of production. Davis is a sensational run defender and moves laterally very quickly. Along with that, Davis is extremely aggressive when entering contact and can slip blocks due to his short area quickness. If Davis can work on his footwork and bulk, he will be a valuable defensive asset for the Giants.

24. Oakland Raiders

Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

The Oakland Raiders selected safety Karl Joseph last year to anchor a developmental secondary. Now, the Raiders need a reliable corner with exceptional cover skills. Given the chance, the Raiders should select Jones with their pick given his proven ability. From supreme football intelligence and character to his top end speed, Jones is one of the most well rounded defensive prospects in his class. Jones’ only drawbacks are his strength and physicality. However, with the proper conditioning and training, Jones could easily reach his potential and allow the Raiders to be that much more effective in their secondary.

25. Houston Texans

Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Assuming the Texans plan on using Tom Savage as a bridge quarterback, they would be in prime position to select the inexperienced yet immensely talented Trubisky. An above average decision maker, Trubisky is a tough-minded passer who will hang in the pocket to get off a solid pass. Accuracy is solid but there are times where Trubisky will miss some easy passes and is inconsistent at throwing the deep ball to his left. However, Trubisky has great mobility and almost always keeps his eyes downfield to look for the open receiver. In the end, Trubisky has staggering potential but needs to be in the right system to excel. Under head coach Bill O’Brien, Trubisky may just get the support that he needs to be a reliable starter in the NFL.

26. Seattle Seahawks

Garett Bolles, OT, Utah

Considering the Seahawks spent the least out of any NFL team on their offensive line last year, drafting a young tackle that can contribute right away is crucial. A very athletic left tackle, Bolles has quality length and exceptional feet to protect the blind side. While Bolles does not have elite power, he does have a surprisingly strong grip and can latch onto defenders effectively. He also has underrated awareness and can consistently recognize pressure packages. To be elite, Bolles will have to bulk up and become stronger.

27. Kansas City Chiefs

Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida St.

With all of the injuries running back Jamaal Charles has suffered recently, the Chiefs might be wise to draft a franchise back this year. Cook is gifted at deliberately finding running holes while swiftly moving through them once he makes his decision. Cook can also accelerate in a moments notice and has the shifty feet to evade would be tacklers. Ultimately, Cook’s success in the pros will be predicated on fixing his ball security issues. He had 13 fumbles over his career at Florida St. and in a league where running backs are less relied upon, it is paramount that a talented back like Cook all but eliminate silly turnovers.

28. Dallas Cowboys

Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan

By far the biggest defensive enigma in the draft, Peppers is a versatile athlete that can do it all. Although there has been obvious concerns with his lack of specialization, for the Cowboys this could actually be an advantage. Considering the Cowboys lost safeties Barry Church and J.J. Wilcox in free agency, Peppers could fit in as a hybrid safety. Given his immense versatility, Peppers is a quick learner and can be effective given the proper guidance. Peppers has crazy impressive physical attributes and can utilize his natural gifts to make big plays on defense. While he is certainly unconventional in his approach and a bit of a wild card in terms of a first round pick, Peppers has the intangibles and athleticism to be a fantastic NFL player.

29. Green Bay Packers

Charles Harris, OLB, Missouri

The Packers could also take a promising defensive back here as well but the they could also use a supped up pass rusher with a lot of tenacity and power. Harris has impressive first step quickness and uses this edge speed to constantly hound quarterbacks. Harris is equally as effective against the run and uses his natural quickness to penetrate gaps. While Harris puts forth a great effort on every play his spatial recognition needs improvement and he needs to get a bit bigger to be truly formidable.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers

Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

This would be a great fit and excellent pick up for the Steelers if Barnett drops this far. Barnett is a dazzling pass rusher and can leverage the weak points of an offensive line to his advantage. His versatility is another high point for this defensive end as he functions effectively in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defense and can change positions. The only cause for pause is his lack of speed. He ran a poor 40 yard dash at 4.88 seconds, which could scare off some teams but should not be a cause to drop him out of the first round. Given his physical skill set, the Steelers can help with the speed factor as he develops.

31. Atlanta Falcons

Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

While Vic Beasley Jr. put up a league best 15.5 sacks last year, he was a lopsided contributor on a Falcons defense where Adrian Clayborn was the next closest in sack total at 4.5. This is where Charlton comes in as his explosive power and tenacity allow him to grind through contact. He also has experience at rushing from both sides and has great instincts against screens. Charlton’s pass rush skills translate well against the run as he does a great job at setting the edge. He could be better as an open field tackler but his physical skill set make him a exciting pick up for the Falcons who need some defensive balance.

32. New Orleans Saints

Adoree’ Jackson, CB, USC

The Saints have been historically bad on defense over the last two seasons. So it only makes sense that they would take a speedy corner in Jackson. Jackson is great at reading receiving routes and can defend well one on one. Jackson also has great instincts when it comes to playing either the ball or the man on defense. Although he is undersized and could improve his footwork, Jackson is a quick and smart corner who can also function as a return man.

Bruce Springsteen, The Boss, just dropped a smoking hot diss track against President Donald Trump in which he refers to the Commander in Chief as a “con man.” Someone call the fire department because our Pres just got burned.

Springsteen, one of the most universally beloved music icons in the whole friggin’ world, worked on the song with Houserockers frontman Joe Grushecky. The song will debut on SiriusXM this week.

And it doesn’t pull any punches.

The track is a clear take down of President Trump and his administration, covering everything from Trump’s travel ban to his “alternative facts.”

Lyrics include: “Don’t tell me a lie/ And sell it as a fact/ I’ve been down that road before/ And I ain’t goin’ back.

“And don’t you brag to me/ That you never read a book/ I never put my faith/ In a con man and his crooks.”

Springsteen was never shy with his opinion of Trump during the election last year, referring to him as a “moron” in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“The whole thing is tragic. Without overstating it, it’s a tragedy for our democracy,” he said.

“When you start talking about elections being rigged, you’re pushing people beyond democratic governance.

“And it’s a very, very dangerous thing to do. Once you let those genies out of the bottle, they don’t go back in so easy, if they go back in at all.”

Agree or disagree, you can’t argue that Springsteen is anyone’s puppet. The guy speaks his mind with absolutely Zero F—- Given. Gotta respect that about him.

Fox News has said goodbye to Bill O’Reilly and hello to Eric Bolling, one of the co-hosts of The Five. Bolling will be getting his own show, starting on May 1, as the network tries to replace the departed O’Reilly.

Here’s everything you need to know about Bolling.

Bolling Net Worth: $35 Million

Bolling, 54, has an estimated net worth of $35 million. Beyond his work on Fox News, Bolling is also an accomplished author. He has written two books, 2016’s Wake Up America: The Nine Virtues That Made Our Nation Great – And Why We Need Them More Than Ever and the upcoming The Swamp: Washington’s Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism – And How Trump Can Drain It. The former was a New York Times bestseller.

On top of The Five, Bolling has also hosted Cashin’ In, a Fox Business Channel Saturday morning show, since 2013. He first joined Fox News in 2008 after a small stint with CNBC.

Bolling began his career as an independent trader at the New York Mercantile Exchange, where he also was a member of the New York Mercantile Exchange Board of Directors.

Bolling Once Had a Promising Baseball Career

Bolling’s first love was baseball. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 22nd round of the 1984 MLB Draft. He even suited up for the team’s rookie-level affiliate, but a torn rotator cuff ended his career.

“It was a dream come true. Very early in my second minor league season, I was playing third base, turned, threw a ball, and tore my rotator and knew that was it,” Bolling told Benzinga in 2010. “It was three or four days before the organization said we’d love to rehab you, but at 22 you’re not that rehab-able. You can rehab a 17 year old but at 22 I was almost getting old.”

Bolling fell into trading after that because his then-girlfriend’s father was in the business.

“The sports really prepared me for that kind of trading. I didn’t work for anybody, if I made money it was mine, if I lost money it was mine. It was very self-motivating, high pressure, competitive. All the things that make a successful trader also make a successful athlete, so the transition was great,” Bolling told Benzinga.

Bolling And Wife Adrienne Have Been Married For 20 Years

Bolling and his wife Adrienne Bolling were married on October 4, 1997. They have one son, Eric Chase Bolling, and live in New York. The family is Catholic.

“I go to St. Patrick’s Cathedral every day to light candles, five days a week,” Bolling told Chicago Magazine. “I don’t necessarily go to mass, but if there’s a mass there, I’ll stay for it I go to mass every Sunday with my wife, so six days a week I’m in church.”

Despite his apparent devoutness, Bolling may need a little refresher on history. In 2015, he drew criticism for the following quote:

“Reports say radical Muslim jihadists killed thousands of people in the past few months alone. And yet when you take Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, whatever, their combined killings in the name of religion––well, that would be zero.”

Bolling Is Buddies With Donald Trump

Bolling is known to be close friends with President Donald Trump and was even considered for commerce secretary after Trump’s election win. The job eventually went to Wilbur Ross and Bolling declined the opportunity to be deputy commerce scretary.

Bolling told the Chicago Magazine that he has known Trump for 15 years since they were introduced on the set of The Apprentice.

“About 15 years ago, a good friend of mine, Mark Burnett, was producing The Apprentice program. And he brought me to some Apprentice events and Donald Trump was present and we just got to talking to each other quite a bit, and I had a Wall Street past and knew business very well, and he appreciated that and over the years he invited me to various events.”

Olympic medal-winning track and field athlete Germaine Mason died Thursday in a motorcycle crash in outside the capital of his native Jamaica, police in the Caribbean island said.

Germaine Mason Cause of Death

Germaine Mason reportedly lost control of his Honda motorcycle before dawn in St. Andrew Parish, the Jamaica Constabulary Force said in a statement. He was taken to a local hospital but did not survive. He was 34.

A cause for the accident was not immediately disclosed by authorities. According to The Gleaner newspaper in Jamaica, several other athletes, including world famous sprinter Usain Bolt, arrived at the accident scene shortly after the crash, which took place around 4:30 A.M.

Mason was born in Jamaica but represented Britain in the 2008 summer Olympic games in Beijing as his father, David,  was born in London. He earned the silver medal in the high jump, equalling his personal best of 2.34m. Only Russia’s Andrey Silnov mark of 2.36m bested Mason’s.

Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness expressed “sincere condolences to the entire sporting fraternity” on Twitter.

Several others took to social media to express their condolences:

British Athletics senior high jump coach Fuzz Caan, who worked closely with Mason at the time of his Olympic success, called him an “outstanding athlete and a truly lovely man.”

“He had a wry sense of humour and was a pleasure to be around. He was a great ambassador of British high jumping. It is an honour for us to have him as part of our sporting history,” he said.

Say what you want about Sarah Palin – and believe me, there is A LOT one could say about her – but there’s no arguing that the 53-year-old politician, commentator and author is a stone cold fox. In fact, Palin is a full blown MILF. Much respect.

She served as the ninth Governor of Alaska from December 4, 2006 to July 26, 2009, when she resigned from the position. In 2008, she was selected as the Republican Party’s nominee for Vice President alongside presidential nominee John McCain. She was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major political party and the first Republican woman selected as a vice presidential candidate.

Over the last eight years, Palin has published five books: Going Rogue (2009), America by Heart (2010), I Hope Like Heck (2011), Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas (2013), Sweet Freedom: A Devotional (2015).

Back in the day, Palin was not shy about her good looks. She won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant in 1984 and placed third in the Miss Alaska pageant. We would not have minded serving as judges for those contests. After graduating college, Palin worked as a sportscaster for KTUU-TV and KTVA-TV in Anchorage and as a sports reporter for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman. In 1988, she eloped with her high school sweetheart, Todd Palin (lucky bastard).

Palin began her political career when she was elected to the Wasilla City Council in 1992. From there, she rose to Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission appointee, Governor of Alaska and Republican Vice President Nominee.

Now she’s…I don’t know, hunting moose or something in Alaska. Whatever. Check out the gallery of Palin above.

After an Amber Alert that lasted over a month, Tad Cummins has been arrested and Elizabeth Thomas has been safely recovered in California.

Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Offices spokeswoman Kelly Giordano said Cummins’ vehicle was found Wednesday night. While she would not reveal where exactly the car was found, she did say “We are currently working an active incident regarding the kidnapping.”

The owner of the property where they were found said his caretaker called him at about 9:30 P.M. and said the man, Cummins, came to a nearby bar he owned and asked for work.

Via WATE:

The vehicle used by Cummins was found in northern California late Wednesday night, according to Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kelly Giordano. The spokeswoman also said the license plate had been removed from the car, which was confirmed to belong to Cummins through the VIN number.

Siskiyou County is one of the northernmost counties that borders the state of Oregon. Cummins, 55, is accused of kidnapping Thomas, 15, on March 13 in Columbia, Tennessee.

Cummins, 50, and Thomas, 15, had been on the run since Monday, March 13. The married teacher took out a $4,500 loan and filled his car with gas before vanishing with the 15-year-old. Cummins and Thomas left town after they were caught kissing. A spokesperson for the Maury County Public Schools said Cummins was suspended from teaching last month and was fired on Tuesday, March 14.

Cummins now faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, having sexual contact with a minor, and others.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is planning for an afternoon at TBI Headquarters in Nashville at 3:00 P.M. Central.

What Happened?

Ambers Alerts were issued in Tennessee and Alabama on Tuesday, March 14 for Mary Catherine ‘Elizabeth’ Thomas and Tad Cummins. 50-year-old Cummins, a former health science teacher from Tennessee, was believed to be armed with two handguns as he was on the run with a student who he was caught kissing. Investigators said Cummins secured a $4,500 title loan for a personal vehicle several days before his disappearance.

On Thursday, April 20, Cummins was captured and arrested in Siskiyou County, California. Siskiyou County is one of the northernmost counties that borders the state of Oregon.

He is now facing charges of having sexual contact with a minor.

Who Is Tad Cummins?

Tad Cummins, born July 1, 1966, is a Tennessee teacher fled the state after he was discovered to be having a relationship with his 15-year-old student, Elizabeth Thomas. After an Amber Alert that lasted over a month, Cummins was arrested and Thomas was found in the northern California county of Siskiyou.

Where Is Siskiyou County?

Siskiyou County is one of the most northern counties in the state of California. Near the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County is about 120 miles south of the California-Oregon state line.

Cummins and Thomas were found about 2,500 miles from where they were last seen in Tennessee.

A former high school teacher wanted in connection with the disappearance of a Tennessee teen has been arrested in northern California and the girl he kidnapped has been found safe, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Thursday. Elizabeth Thomas is safe and Tad Cummins has been arrested.

What Happened?

The agency tweeted just before noon that Tad Cummins had been arrested and that Elizabeth Thomas had been safely recovered. A press conference is scheduled for 4:00 P.M. today in Nashville.

Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Offices spokeswoman Kelly Giordano said earlier Thursday that Cummins’ vehicle was found in their jurisdiction Wednesday night. The county is in a remote area near the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, about three hours northwest of Redding, Ca.

An Amber Alert was initially issued for Thomas after her parents reported her missing on March 13. She is from Columbia, Tennessee.

Rep. Sheila Butt, a Republican state lawmaker who represents Columbia, said Thursday meant quite a lot to the community.

“When something like this happens, a community gets together and feels like this is one of our children,” Butt said. “This just feels like our prayers have been answered, and the lost sheep is home.”

Butt continued, saying she is proud of her community and believes that local authorities will learn from this terrible situation.

“I have known Tad Cummins over the years, and I think I could honestly tell you that I’m not surprised that she’s safe. I will let the courts deal with the ramifications of what happened here,” Butt said.

Authorities were after Cummins on charges of aggravated kidnapping. He was Thomas’ 50-year-old high school teacher at Culleoka Unit School in Maury County, Tennessee. He has since been fired.

A warrant was issued for Cummins’ arrest after TBI suggested he “may have been abusing his role as a teacher to groom this vulnerable young girl for some time in an effort to lure and potentially sexually exploit her.”

Who Is Elizabeth Thomas?

Elizabeth Thomas is a 15-year-old high school student who was reported missing on March 13 by her parents. She was found safe Thursday, April 20, and Cummins was arrested.
