The 94th Academy Awards are just two days away and while Hollywood is abuzz with excitement, it’s hard to talk about the awards show without bringing up last year’s “slap”. When Will Smith hit Chris Rock on stage, it was one of the most shocking moments to ever happen on live television. For the first time ever, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has put a “crisis team” in place to handle other potential surprise moments. CEO Bill Kramer revealed that the organization, which was widely criticized for its handling of the incident, is now preparing for anything…

“Yeah, I remember everything. I remember that day. I was getting ready to go to an event. I was at a hotel in LA. My [agent] Jeff Schwartz called me and he’s like, ‘Man, you’re getting traded.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I was about to go to the ESPYs that night. I was getting ready to go out. And I was like, ‘Man, I got traded.’ I was so shocked. I remember getting on the plane, flying to Brooklyn, and I was like, ‘Man, I’m a Brooklyn Net.’ It was crazy. I was sad. I was sad. I was like,…

Virginia Governor Refuses to Answer Transgender Student’s Question At a CNN town hall event on Thursday night, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) was asked a difficult question by a transgender high school student, Niko. Niko asked the governor if the girls in their high school would feel comfortable sharing a restroom with them. The governor refused to answer the question, instead choosing to talk about his belief in strong parent-child relationships and his policy of providing gender-neutral facilities. Niko and their dad appeared to be disappointed by the response, and many Twitter users noted their “dubious expression.” Many critics have…

Ryan Day has established himself as one of the best coaches in the Big Ten conference with his work at Ohio State, but is he the best coach in the conference? According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, he is no longer the top coach in the conference. Feldman’s rankings place Day sixth in the country, two spots lower than he was ahead of the 2022 season. What is interesting is that Day now ranks behind both Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh (No. 4) and Penn State’s James Franklin (No. 5). Feldman cites Franklin’s work at Vanderbilt and the fact that he had…

Adam Croft was not expecting to be diagnosed with a heart condition – but after his Apple Watch alerted him in the middle of the night, that’s exactly what happened. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of arrhythmia that causes a quivering or irregular heartbeat – and it affects at least 2.7 million Americans. The main symptom of AFib is a quivering heartbeat, but can also include fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, anxiety, weakness, faintness, and sweating. Adam Croft, 36, from the UK, noticed last month his Apple Watch had been alerting him through the night that his heart was…

Norm Roberts was the unsung hero of the Kansas Jayhawks win against West Virginia on Thursday. While the entire team showed poise and a strong work ethic, Roberts’ scouting and strategy were instrumental in the Jayhawks 78-61 victory. Head Coach Bill Self was absent from the game as he had checked himself into a hospital for a “standard procedure”. Roberts took over as acting coach for the tournament opener and his knowledge and experience of the game showed in the strategy and play calling. The Jayhawks’ win was a direct result of the attention to detail that Roberts gave to…

The Players Championship: Jordan Spieth’s Lucky Break The Players Championship is always a difficult tournament to play, as the TPC Sawgrass course is full of challenging holes that can quickly make or break a golfer’s round. On Friday, Jordan Spieth found himself in a precarious position, needing a birdie to make the cut and in serious danger of missing it. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. Spieth’s drive on the par-5 ninth hole sliced to the right, headed for the cart path and then the water. But then it took an unexpected turn—it bounced off the leg of…

President Joe Biden’s brief reference to Donald Trump during a speech in Philadelphia this past Thursday was met with jeers from the crowd. Biden, a Catholic, then made the sign of the cross as a joke. The gesture carries a range of meanings, from a blessing to a way of warding off evil. The sign of the cross was not the first time Biden has used it in a humorous way. Last week, he made the same gesture after referring to conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who had disrupted his State of the Union address. The President has…

The Minnesota Vikings and Pro Bowl pass rusher Za’Darius Smith have had an interesting off-season to say the least. After missing much of 2021 with a back injury, Smith was released by the Green Bay Packers and quickly signed a four-year, $35 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. However, Smith backed out of the deal to sign a more lucrative one with the Vikings. Smith had a successful season with the Vikings, posting 10 sacks, 44 total tackles and 15 tackles for loss. His performance earned him his third Pro Bowl honor, and he expressed his appreciation for the Vikings…
