During this transfer window, Simeone managed to bring in Sporting CP prodigy Gelson Martins (Free), experienced La Liga campaigner Antonio Adan (€1m), last season’s Eredivisie player of the year Santiago Arias (€11m), Croat forward Nikola Kalinic (€14.5m), Atletico academy graduate Rodri (€20m) and World Cup winner Thomas Lemar for a club record fee of €70m. They had also signed Jonny Castro (€7m) but he has been loaned out to Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 2018/19 season....

And yet, by some miracle, Villeneuve pulled it off. Released 35 years after the revered 1982 original, Blade Runner 2049 followed in its predecessor’s footsteps with universal critical acclaim followed by box office disappointment. How exactly did Villeneuve manage to make a Blade Runner sequel that did the impossible and satisfied a ravenous cult sci-fi fanbase? RELATED: One Movie Both Invented And Perfected The Tech Noir Genre Coming up with a premise for a sequel is tricky, because the point of a sequel is to replicate the success of the original, but sticking too closely to the established formula will feel like a pointless rehash....

Gearbox Software has already teased the idea of player unique loot but they finally showed it off as part of the Borderlands 3 gameplay reveal event. In what the studio is calling loot instancing, each player will encounter their own loot from a chest (or chest-like loot delivery item i.e. outhouse). Each weapon, shield, or grenade will be scaled to the individual player’s level and be capable of delivering damage relative to that arsenal....

Now 29, Gonzalez credits boxing for an incredible 100-pound weight loss as a teenager. “Around 16, I was about 250 pounds. I was really overweight, eating garbage everyday. Girls would make fun of me, people would make fun of me — ‘How did you get so fat? Why are you so fat?’” Gonzalez remembers.

That’s when backup quarterback Caleb Williams took a quarterback draw 66 yards for a touchdown. What if Williams didn’t get the first down? Maybe Texas builds on a 28-7 lead in the second quarter. Maybe Texas quarterback Casey Thompson is the hero. Maybe Spencer Rattler stays in for Oklahoma at quarterback. Maybe the Red River Showdown doesn’t become the most-entertaining game of the season. MORE: Rattler benched again in Red River Shootout...

To everyone’s surprise that person was none other than the man who stole the show at Wrestlemania 31. It was Seth freaking Rollins, and the entire WWE Universe was okay with Rollins replacing Lesnar as the next Universal Champion. Let’s be honest, anyone would do a better job than Lesnar at that point in time. Therefore, Rollins squashed Lesnar at Wrestlemania to capture the WWE Universal Title, and went on to revolutionise Monday Night Raw....

One way to get there: racecar drivers. All seven members of the world’s largest hotrod team, Don Schumacher Racing, pledged their brains to concussion research Friday as part of an effort geared to reach military members as much as racing fans. Through its sponsorship with the U.S. Army, Schumacher connected with the Infinite Hero Foundation , a nonprofit that works with the Concussion Legacy Foundation. CLF has received pledges of more than 3,500 brains to conduct post-mortem research on the effects of CTE — a disease linked to repetitive head injuries seen in football and other contact sports, and also in military personnel....

“It’s a humanitarian crisis,” Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, told Newsweek Friday, shortly after visiting an immigration processing facility at the border in Texas. Scalise said he was shocked by what he’s seen: young children crossing in groups of sometimes five to a single boat, kids cramped like “sardines” in holding facilities, “overwhelmed” Border Patrol agents. “It’s an international disgrace on the southern border,” Scalise said. But two top officials who haven’t seen the problem firsthand are Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom the president has tasked with monitoring the border situation....

Game of Thrones’ opening was an iconic affair. With its swelling music and visuals, which was a raven’s eye view encompassing the locations that would be featured in any given episode, it has been parodied and recreated countless times. Composer Ramin Djawadi’s score was an immediately recognizable tune that immediately drew audiences into the Westerosi world. RELATED: House of the Dragon Star Steve Toussaint Unbothered By Racist Viewers Fans have been eager to see what House of the Dragon’s opening sequence would be like, and Sunday’s episode, “The Rogue Prince” revealed an homage to and departure from Game of Thrones’ opening....

Throughout the first season of House of the Dragon, a schism had been widening ever deeper and growing ever more dangerous as King Viserys’ (Paddy Considine) children all grew and became Dragonriders. In House of the Dragon’s season finale, Prince Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Prince Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) meet at Storm’s End. Aemond is riding the titanic Vhagar, Lucerys the much smaller Arrax. Aemond appears to be trying to intimidate Lucerys, only to lose control of Vhagar, who makes quick work of Arrax, ending the life of young Lucerys and kicking off a civil war....

The histories of Westeros supposedly date back thousands of years (though this figure is likely exaggerated), but House Targaryen itself only became notable about 112 years prior to Aegon’s conquest. Prior to this time, they were a dragon riding family of old Valyria, but not one of the most powerful. There were about forty such families in total, and the Targaryens ranked somewhere around the bottom of the ladder....

Everyone else in the top 10 might have been upset with their ranking. Cincinnati is at No. 6 despite a perfect record and a victory at Notre Dame. Oklahoma is at No. 8 despite the fact the Sooners are the only 9-0 team in the FBS. Wake Forest also is 8-0, but the ACC leader is at No. 9. Which leads to everyone’s favorite two words: Playoff expansion ....

What Is a Double VPN? Most VPN providers use a single remote server through which they encrypt your internet traffic. A double VPN, on the other hand, sends your traffic through two remote servers by chaining them together, meaning that a double layer of encryption is achieved. While many VPN providers only offer a basic VPN, there are a number of services that also offer a double VPN option, including NordVPN, SurfShark, and ProtonVPN....

Fortunately, slowly but surely, games have been working at accommodating various impairments. Through accessibility options, gaming has opened up to more gamers while not infringing on gameplay or the creative visions of developers. Although many gamers will entirely ignore accessibility options, their increasingly widespread use in games is perhaps the most revolutionary change in gaming in recent years. RELATED: The 10 Best Games With Accessible Options From 2021 Accessibility Options for Sight Video games are such an intensely visual medium that it can be hard to imagine that they are playable with impaired sight....

At the end of every regular season, a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters vote on who they believe were the six best guards, six best forwards and three best centers of the season. Those 15 players are split between three teams based on their position and how many First Team, Second Team and Third Team votes they receive. While the accolades will forever be attached to names, one notable wrinkle is how All-NBA voting impacts player salaries....

That was the case when an image of a Baker Mayfield Seahawks jersey, supposedly leaked then immediately deleted by Seattle, started making rounds across the internet. The image suggested Mayfield finally had a new team after he and the Browns struggled to find a team to take on his contract. One problem: The image is fake. As noted by ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, someone altered the image of a Quandre Diggs jersey and placed Mayfield’s name over it instead....

The California-based engineering manager has proved to be a formidable force on the hit quiz show, having earned 13 consecutive victories and $536,400 in winnings. Her captivating stint has proved to be the most successful run since former champ Matt Amodio’s streak, which came to an end in October after 38 wins, during which he pocketed an impressive $1,518,601. With Schneider’s run set to continue from December 20, Jeopardy! executive producer Michael Davies recently took to Twitter to share and compare her stats against those of Yale Ph....

Imagine plugging your iPhone in to charge, using the standard Lightning cable, and placing your AirPods case on the back of the phone to charge that at the same time. This reverse-charging capability is right there in the iPhone 12 you have in your hand, according to Apple’s own FCC filings. “In addition to being able to be charged by a desktop WPT charger (puck), 2020 iPhone models also support WPT charging function at 360 kHz to charge accessories,” says the introductory section of one FCC filing....

Streaming services often cater more towards pop and other genres than classical music, but Apple recently announced it has acquired Primephonic, a classical music streaming service that offers innovative features. Experts say the move could bring more options to classical music listeners. “Apple is aware of the consumer demands for classical music, and Apple has publicly stated that they are committed to providing dedicated features specific to classical music,” Brandon Elliott, a music professor at Moorpark College, told Lifewire in an email interview....
