Last year at this time, ESPN was shoving Jadeveon Clowney down our throats by replaying, over and over and over, the best defensive player in the history of the planet running by a blown blocking assignment and hitting an unsuspecting tailback so hard, he fumbled. Now we have the NFL Network joining the fun, following Clowney this week at the league’s annual Combine like he’s a circus act, touting his “blazing” 40 speed and his “freakish” skills and declaring how it will all magically translate to the big, bad NFL....

If seeing the Lakers returning to the top of the basketball world was obviously special for Magic, who won five NBA titles with the Purple and Gold during 13 season with the franchise, the Dodgers’ triumph had a completely different flavor as he celebrated from the standpoint of a franchise owner. “I want to thank @Dodgers Chairman, Owner, & my great friend Mark Walter for allowing me to be one of the owners of this incredible team,” Magic tweeted on Tuesday night, after the Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 in Game 6 to clinch the Fall Classic....

Modern gaming consoles have online services we use. Whether we use the services to play with friends or use an internet browser, they are online. Technically, anything online can fall victim to a virus. Even though our online consoles are susceptible to these digital threats, they are different from traditional computer viruses. Can Game Consoles Get Viruses? The short answer is, yes, game consoles are vulnerable. Anything that accesses the internet has the potential to encounter malicious software....

Breathing life into a canine companion isn’t quite as close an encounter as you may think; you won’t have to worry about any exchange of bodily fluids. Because a dog’s mouth is so large, the rescuer clamps the animal’s jaws shut, cups her other hand around its nose and puffs air in from a hygienic distance. (True dog devotees, of course, consider their pooches’ smooches sublime and insist dog saliva is sterile....

Dog owner Ester, who runs the account myathefoxy on TikTok, posted a video Friday of her 3-year-old shiba inu Mya which has since received over 2 million views. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says that the shiba inu is the 42nd most popular dog breed in the U.S. Officially recognized as a breed in 1992, they originated in Japan where they are still the most popular companion dog.

Max had been wandering around, sniffing the ground, but his curiosity got the best of him when he fell into the pond. “The pond looked like land, and he just kept running right out onto it and went about 20 yards out, and he just fell through,” Fowler recalled, via NBC affiliate KARK. Fowler called 911 while he tried to rescue his dog. He asked for animal control to come help, but because of the snowy weather, Fowler wads told that it may be a while....

The unnamed white dog waits every day by a roadside shrine in Nafpaktos, TK. The monument stands where his owner, a man named Haris, collided with a cement mixer on November 9, 2017. Haris’ death surprised the community as his brother had died nearby only a few years before. The community erected a roadside shrine at the site of the accident, about seven-and-a-half miles from his home. And ever since, Haris’s dog stays at the shrine all day, waiting for his owner to come home....

But 33-year-old Los Angeles resident Jaysn Prolifiq—legally known as Glauber Contessoto—told Newsweek he does not regret hanging on to his tokens, even as their value drops again. Financial experts warned others against taking a high-stakes risk like Prolifiq’s. Citing screenshots and video of his investment that Newsweek could not independently verify, the music video producer and artist manager said his $188,000 holding had turned into nearly $2 million of Dogecoin last week....

Flynn has been widely criticized for the remarks at the “For God & Country Patriot Roundup” in Dallas on Sunday. While taking questions from the audience at the $500-a-head event, one man asked Flynn: “I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” The question prompted cheers from the crowd. “No reason. I mean, it should happen here,” Flynn said. Speaking to MSNBC, McCaffrey described Flynn’s “dangerous rhetoric” as “harmful” to the country....

Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court last week, urging them to allow special master Raymond Dearie to review the 100 documents recovered at his south Florida residence. The filing was in response to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that allowed the DOJ to continue using the classified documents in a criminal investigation of the former president. Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon had previously ruled that the documents would be off limits pending their review by Dearie....

Ziggler has had an unusual 2020, featuring rarely on WWE’s main roster programs but enjoying massive success in his brief NXT run. The six-time Intercontinental Champion captured the NXT Championship from Bron Breakker at NXT: Roadblock but eventually dropped it back to the young Steiner on the RAW after WrestleMania 38. Somewhere Dolph is always present, however, is social media. The Showoff often chimes in with humor, cryptic posts, and information about his standup comedy shows on Twitter....

Williams, who had lost her last three encounters with the British number one, showed no signs of nerves as she dictated play from the baseline and broke Konta twice in the first set.

While Blizzard doesn’t overtly state that fans shouldn’t expect any major Diablo-related announcements during BlizzCon, that definitely appears to be what is being hinted at. Rumor and speculation regarding both a Diablo sequel and a Diablo or Diablo 2 remaster has been growing steadily over the past several months. Rather than allow fans to go into BlizzCon with those expectations only to be disappointed, Blizzard is trying to calm everyone down before it results in the sort of negative reactions that online gaming communities are known for....

Despite tougher laws enacted last year, smokers can light up in some restaurants and bars. Tobacco advertising is allowed on television, cigarette packages don’t contain graphic health warnings, and tobacco is cheap compared to other major cities. However, don’t expect to puff away at next year’s Tokyo Olympics. Organizers on Thursday announced a stringent ban on all tobacco products and vaping devices. Smoking will be banned at all indoor and outdoor Olympic and Paralympic venues, plus within all perimeter areas of the Tokyo Games....
