RIPPA

Luc Besson will direct a Dracula movie (whatever that might be) Christoph Waltz and Caleb Landry-Jones are in discussion to star

Xur is selling the Black Armory armor so if you never got it, now is your chance

So for.... reasons... the Padres have decided to flip the middle of their infield Xander Bogaerts is moving from SS to 2B while Ha-Seong Kim will do the reverse

I already noted in the other thread that Jimmy G is getting a two game suspension for PEDs (which he will not appeal) With that news - Schefter also confirmed that the Raiders are planning on releasing him before the 5th day of the new league year (so basically by Mid-March)

Not even mentioned in that was at one point - he when asked about the fans of Oakland being upset his answer was along of the lines of "But there is still a team in the Bay!" Yeah - because As fans notoriously root for the Giants too

Not really "news" because he had said before but forever reason everyone decided to run with as a story yesterday Rob Manfred stated that this will be his last term as MLB commissioner. His term will end January 2029 Other things from the couple of interviews he has given over the last couple of weeks He will be "disappointed" if the Athletics are not ready to move to Vegas for 2028. Related to that point - since the schedule for 2025 will be finalized in July, Manfred said the As have to have their location secured before then He wants to get all the TV rights figured out first before starting the process of expansion He thinks baseball should have a FA deadline (ie: you have to sign by a certain time) because of course he does He also thinks all the players will love the new uniforms. They just aren't used to them yet

Hope everyone is sitting down for this shocking news - the internet over reacted to something So all the XBOX news First Activision Blizzard game to Gamepass is Diablo IV (this is March 28) There are "No fundamental change to exclusivity" - so everyone who thought that Starfield was coming to PS5.... nope (to be fair - the possibility that a game will eventually go onto other systems remains) Example - 4 games will be coming to Switch/PS5. (I think they are: Hi fi rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves and Grounded) Games Pass remains XBOX and PC only

Also - the UFL announced that it will use a traditional kickoff instead of the old XFL version

AJ McCarron requested his release from the Bengals (which was granted) so that he can sign with the St. Louis Battlehawks (which would mark McCarron's return to the club)

The Blue Jackets have fired GM Jarmo Kekalainen It is amazing he made it past the Mike Babcock fiasco but better late than never I guess

As a reminder - there are three games tonight and then the All Star Break finally fucking starts Regular season games then resume a week from today (Feb 22)

They are only the third team in history to have multiple 50 point wins in a season (1992-93 Sacramento Kings and the 1978-79 Milwaukee Bucks)

M3GAN 2.0 has been delayed from January 17, 2025 to May 16, 2025 Any later and it was certain to fuck us all in the Summer Blockbuster Pool

Mississippi Valley State is now the only winless team (0-24)

Stewart was indeed arrested, issued a citation and then released Monty Williams was then all pissy at the Suns because the organization put a statement out supporting Eubanks and Williams was all THEY DON'T KNOW THE FACTS!!!!

Joe Espada's first order of business as Astros manager was announcing that Josh Hader will be the closer and Ryan Pressly is being move to setup

KC has given Steve Spagnuolo an extension though terms were not disclosed

It should also be noted that IUPUI beat Mercy by 12 in December

OSU has fired Chris Holtmann

God - I am gonna have to drop $60 to get these Mass Effect armors and I hate myself for it

Sony has said (via an earnings report) that it will not release “any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year.” This isn't really surprising but I guess some people thought they were gonna drop a stealth Spider man or God of War or something
