People have been dying to see a long-forgotten tradition make its way back into gamer’s lives with the release of GTA 6 next year. This tradition has enriched the childhood of many people, but, somehow along the way, its importance and relevance faded out. It would be a good marketing strategy to bank on nostalgia […]

Have you ever wondered why your favorite Valorant pro player has their game setting turned all the way down? You might’ve thought it’s so they get the most Frames Per Second (FPS) possible. And you’d be correct. But they also do it for another reason, clarity. But wouldn’t reducing visual quality reduce clarity? You’d think […]

THE Detroit Lions have mocked the Dallas Cowboys for an obvious attempt to hide the score from Sunday’s NFL mauling.
The Lions cruised to a huge 47-9 win over Mike McCarthy’s team in Arlington.
It was the first time in NFL history that a game ended with that exact score – the league’s 1,087th unique final score.
The AT&T Stadium’s official X account posted the attendance on Monday.
But they blurred out one specific detail on the photo.
The scoreline on the jumbotron was obscured to avoid showing the embarrassing scoreline.
And it was quickly noticed and exposed by the Lions‘ account.
A post from the Lions read: “Is it us or is the scoreboard a little blurry?”
Fans were quick to comment, with one person writing: “They don’t like to be embarrassed by the score.”
Another said: “Imagine being so embarrassed by your team’s loss at home that you blur out the scoreboard.”
A third wrote: “Lmao I’m a Cowboys fan and this is hilarious. Cooked ‘em on and off the field.”
While a third quipped: “This is incredible!”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sent a clear message to coach McCarthy over his future after Sunday’s game.
He said: “We’ve got to assess and we’ve certainly got a bye week, but there’s nothing magic about a bye week.
“You can do some things differently within three days of some of the things that bit us out there today.
“This was very concerning and it was very humbling.
“It felt bad because of all of our great fans, especially the ones in the stadium and certainly the ones that are all about the Cowboys.”
BILL Belichick went on a live television tirade concerning New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and all but confirmed his head coaching plans when it comes to the NFL team.
The New England Patriots head coach icon, 72, appeared on ESPN’s Manningcast broadcast of the Monday Night Football game between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.
Belichick appeared on ESPN alongside the broadcast’s hosts and NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning during the second quarter.
The former NFL coach and quarterbacks discussed the Jets firing of head coach Robert Saleh last week.
Belichick scolded Jets decision to fire Saleh, and even called out Johnson in the process.
“I’m not a big Jets fan, in case you don’t know that,” he told the Manning brothers.
“You know what, coach Saleh did a good job with that program …
“That’s kinda what it’s been there with the Jets.
“They’ve barely won over 30% in the last 10 years.
“The owner being the owner … ready, fire aim.”
The Jets fired Saleh after the team’s 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
The loss gave the Jets a 2-3 record and Saleh ended his tenure with a 20-36 record.
The Jets lost to the Bills by a score of 23-20 in the team’s first game under interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.
Many of the issues under Saleh also occurred in the Monday contest.
The Jets were called for 11 penalties and were 1-of-4 on red zone opportunities.
Kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two field goals and veteran star quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a game-ending interception for the second straight week.
The Jets have lost three straight games.
Belichick criticized the Jets after being the head coach of the organization for one day before bolting to join the Patriots.
He went on to win six Super Bowls with New England before parting ways with the franchise in 2024 after 23 seasons with the team.
The Jets haven’t made the postseason since 2010.
They will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football.
A VIRAL video shows the moment a young driver is chased down by an angry cyclist who accused him of getting dangerously close to him on the road.
Pierce Kempton, 22, filmed his tense interaction with a cyclist while driving to a skate park in Park City, Utah, on September 28.
Kempton was on his way to meet a friend when he was confronted by cyclist Gary Peacock, 73, in the skate park parking lot.
The video starts as Kempton attempts to exit his car, telling Peacock, “Dude, literally stop.”
An irate Peacock shouts, “No, I’m calling the police, and you’re not leaving. You’re not leaving.”
Peacock asks Kempton if he saw him on the road, to which the driver responds, “Pulling off to the side, I did. I got it on dashcam.”
Kempton then tells the cyclist he’s going to go skate, which further angers Peacock, “No, you’re not. You’re not going anywhere until the police come,” as he yanks the car door open.
The driver then exits his vehicle as Peacock is on the phone with a police operator, “Yeah, I got a very aggressive teenager here that almost hit me by his car, and now he won’t tell me his last name, and now he’s trying to leave,” Peacock says.
Kempton repeatedly tells Peacock he’s not trying to be aggressive with him, but the cyclist continues to bad mouth him to the police operator on the line.
“He’s recording me because he’s a jerk. And I want you to come and give this guy a ticket, and I’ll be willing to testify in court against this guy,” Peacock added.
At one point during their exchange, Peacock angrily tells Kempton, “I’m riding a bike, I have more rights than you.
“We’ll see if you have any arrests, pal. We’ll see if you have any arrests or any tickets, we’ll see what happens.”
Kempton then reassures Peacock, “I have a clean record,” as the 73-year-old furiously responds, “Yeah, we’ll see. The police are going to check your clean record.”
Sometime later, a police officer arrives at the scene and quickly separates the two.
Park City police eventually issued Kempton and Peacock citations for $130 and $160, respectively, according to radio station KPCW.
Kempton fought the $130 ticket and sent a copy of his dashcam video to the Park City District Attorney’s Office, which dismissed the fine on October 11.
“In relation to your citation, I agree with you that the dash cam video you produced after you were cited is exculpatory and I will proceed with dismissal of your citation,” the district attorney said in an email to Kempton.
A portion of Kempton’s dashcam showed the moment the driver steered slightly to the left as he passed Peacock on the road.
“The content of this video informed the prosecutor’s decision to file a motion for dismissal,” a Park City Municipal spokesperson said.
Peacock paid the $160 disorderly conduct fine, and his case was closed.
The cyclist expressed regret about the incident, saying he lost his cool.
“I lost my temper. I didn’t go there with the intention of hitting them or doing anything but just telling him, ‘Hey, you came way too close to me. And I’m upset. I’m angry about it,” Peacock told KPCW.
“And then his reaction just sent me off.
“This guy, unfortunately, was the subject of my wrath because of all these other incidents.”
Kempton told the radio station that Peacock’s aggression is what ultimately escalated the encounter.
“I feel like he could have settled that just by telling me with his words,” Kempton told KPCW.
“I don’t think he needed to be aggressive, and I don’t think he needed to get the law involved.”
While road rage is often defined by an aggressive reaction to another driver's actions, it could be dangerous.
The NHTSA says road rage is different from aggressive driving, as it comes down to intention. The agency says many state laws include intent to harm as part of a road rage or reckless driving offense.
“Although some States have passed laws criminalizing aggressive driving, it should not be confused with road rage, which is an intentional assault by a driver or passenger with a motor vehicle or a weapon that occurs on the roadway or is precipitated by an incident on the roadway,” the agency writes.
“Aggressive drivers, as distinct from aggressive driving, often can be identified as those who violate traffic laws repeatedly or whose violations lead to crashes producing serious injury or death.”
Actions that define road rage in many states are behaviors like trying to run another driver off the roadway, using their vehicle to cause another driver to crash, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic lanes, or threatening and/or using a dangerous weapon.

ALICA SCHMIDT left her fans in awe as she shared pics of her glamorous sunny holidays.
Schmidt, 25, is a German runner who competed in the Paris Olympics last summer but failed to qualify for the women’s 4x400m relay final.
The athlete, though, has amassed a large following on social media and has been dubbed the “world’s sexiest athlete“.
And she took Instagram by storm as she shared pictures of her recent trips to Italy, Thailand and the the Maldives.
The German posted photos and videos of her in a bikini enjoying the sun and crystal waters.
She also showcased her jet-skiing skills for her fans during her time off.
Schmidt posted: “Life is worth living.”
The former Olympics competitor’s 5.8million followers were left gobsmacked as they took to the comments’ section.
One fan wrote: “Beautiful caption & video.”
Another commented: “I cannot get enough views of that gorgeous water!!!”
A third posted: “Life is beautiful and worth living – live it.”
This one said: “Absolutely amazing.”
And that one gushed: “Strong and beautiful.”
MARTA Cano is the sister of Jose Menendez, who was murdered by his sons Erik and Lyle in 1989.
She defended the brothers in court, alongside her son Andy who alleged that Erik had been abused by Jose.
Not much is known about Marta’s life before the Menendez brothers went on trial, but the former stockbroker became a big part of the media coverage of the court case.
Her brother, José, was born on May 6, 1944, in Cuba but moved to the United States at the start of the Cuban Revolution.
He married his wife, Kitty, in 1963 and they had their first son, Lyle, just five years later.
Lyle and his younger brother Erik eventually murdered their parents in 1989, in a killing so violent that the authorities believed the Mob might have been involved.
They lived a lavish lifestyle using their inheritance before they were arrested.
Marta attended her nephew’s trial, that was watched with keen interest across America.
Erik claimed that he and his brother had murdered their parents because their father had been sexually abusive towards them.
Marta’s son, Andy, testified to this and claimed that Erik had told him about the abuse when he was 13 years old.
Erik and Lyle’s aunt also testified in their defense, but, eventually, the brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Both brothers did go on to find love in prison, though, and married women who had watched the trial and written them letters.
Marta attended Lyle and his then-wife Anna Eriksson’s wedding on July 2, 1996, but the couple divorced just a few years later in April 2001.
Marta told ABC News in 2018 that her brother was “not a bad person” and that he was, instead, a “sick” person.
She was also adamant that her nephews were not criminals and defended the action they took against their father.
She said: “They deserve to be free.
“They’re not criminals.
“They were in so much shock and fear of their own lives that that’s what happened.”
Marta added: “How would I feel if someone had abused me all my life, and all of a sudden he’s angry in front of me and he’s coming to me?
“It’s a defense mechanism we all have.
“You never knew what you would do.”
Years earlier, she had discovered a letter written by Erik to her son, Andy, which detailed the alleged abuse that Erik was suffering.
That letter, written in 1988, will be examined in a retrial that has been ordered into the Menendez case.
Sadly, guilt, caused by not intervening sooner, had led to Andy dying from a drug overdose in 2003.
Marta shared with ABC that she felt that the brothers’ incarceration had a big role in her 29-year-old son’s death.
She said: “I have no doubt in my mind that Andy is dead because of them.”
SPRINT sensation Divine Iheme is on the fast track to Olympic glory.
The 14-year-old is the fastest ever Under-15 runner, getting across the 100m finish line in just 10.3 seconds.
Jamaican star Sachin Dennis held the previous record at 10.51 seconds, with the two tenths difference considered an absolute age in the sprinting world.
Iheme’s blistering pace has seen him dubbed the “next Noah Lyles”.
And rightly so as the American Paris Olympics gold medal winner ran a best of 11.27 seconds when he was that age.
All eight men in the 100m final in Paris ran sub-ten seconds for the first time ever.
Lyles won it with a 9.79 second dash as last placed Oblique Seville came in at 9.91.
At the speed of Iheme’s improvements, he could be making his mark on the world stage in no time.
The teenager nicknamed “Lightening” has also lived up to his tag in the 200m, running a stunning 21.68 seconds.
Sprinting is in his genes as both of his parents represented Nigeria at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
His mum Nkiruku competed in the 100m and 200m like her son, while his dad Innocent was in the 100m and the long jump.
They both now coach their son in Oxford, and have admitted his pace is a “God-given talent”.
Michael Ofo of SOS Management, who has helped British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley on his rise to the top, is also in Iheme’s camp.
Despite being eligible for Nigeria, Iheme is committed to Team GB.
He told Sky Sports: “I was born here, I’ve had free education, free school meals. Everyone here has been taking care of me, child support, all this stuff.
“I feel like I’m going to run for Great Britain because they have helped me the most.”
But when it comes to inspirations, Iheme looks further afield, saying: “Noah Lyles is a great athlete and he’s given me a lot of confidence to pursue this career, run quicker, get a better time.
“I’ve watched quite a lot of Usain Bolt‘s races and Allyson Felix’s 200m, 400m and relays.
“Probably the first race I watched was Bolt’s 200m world record, the 19.19, I was inspired to pursue my dream.
“I try my best to slingshot off the bend [in 200m] and continue holding first until I cross the finish line.
“In my opinion, I think my running style is unique and natural. I don’t try to model it on anyone.”
Iheme is keen to one day run as fast as Bolt – but his main aims are more heartwarming.
He said: “I always try to do my parents proud. I want to make sure that in the future, they can just sit back and relax while I can get them gifts, buy them a house, buy them things for their future.
“The goal is to try and make them happy, make them live a great life.”
