And according to former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, that very mistake continues to haunt the struggling franchise today. Urlacher, who’s on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, recently was asked during a CBS Sports podcast for his opinion on the current state of the only franchise for which he ever played.

A few masks were subject to speculation by viewers, who took to Twitter to decode the show’s clues. The first to perform on Wednesday night was Rottweiler. The dog sang a rendition of One Republic’s “Love Runs Out,” not without a handful of fan theories and similar judge predictions. Rottweiler’s clues presented on Wednesday seemed to imply the celebrity may be a former member of the Backstreet Boys. A seeming “I Want It That Way” reference caught the attention of judge Nicole Scherzinger, as well as a flood of Twitter users....

This happened after Lenny collapsed in that finale. Why this is has not been fully explained in the show, but The Young Pope suggests a number of causes that led up to the collapse. First of all, there is Pius’ bad diet, summed up by his preference for cherry Coke Zero for breakfast. He also may have a possible cardiac condition hinted at throughout the HBO series. Mostly, though, the attack comes after he looks into the Venice crowd as sees two displeased-looking hippies who may or may not be his biological parents....

The youngster replaced Kevin Stewart after 67 minutes against Leeds United and popped up with his side’s second goal to seal a 2-0 win over the Championship outfit. Woodburn makes his mark just as Gerrard did That strike, scored in front of the Kop, means he has taken Michael Owen’s record and become Liverpool’s youngest ever first-team scorer. And fans of the club are clearly excited at the prospect of seeing him flourish at Anfield, with one supporter even tipping him to be the next Zinedine Zidane!...

The veteran full-back finds himself back in English football some four years after departing Old Trafford for Juventus with five Premier League titles, three League Cups and a Champions League crown under his belt. He has been plucked out of the free agent pool by the Hammers, with a short stint back in his native France at Marseille brought to an acrimonious end in November 2017 when he was released and handed a seven-month UEFA ban for kicking a fan ahead of a Europa League clash....

In a typical MMO, players spend a ton of time staring at their UI, looking at cool downs rather than actually focusing on what’s taking place in the game. For The Elder Scrolls, ZeniMax doesn’t want players to miss out on the massive multiplayer battles that are taking place, and therefore they have taken steps to make a less intrusive UI. Unfortunately, a lot of ZeniMax’s musings are more of a conceptual nature than an exemplary one, but if the goal is to keep players focused on the battles we’re all for it....

Tyson Kidd produced every women’s match at the recently concluded WrestleMania event. The latest backstage details come as no surprise as Wilson has often been considered one of the driving forces behind improving the quality of female WWE matches. Many WWE Superstars from the women’s division shared their appreciation for TJ Wilson on social media. Here’s what Billie Kay had to say about the former 3-Time Tag Team Champion:...

Unsurprisingly, things were very different in this alternative reality. Cancer had been cured, and Merrick Garland and Elizabeth Warren were both on the Supreme Court. Most noticeably, the #MeToo movement had never happened, leading to Diane dealing with moral dilemma of becoming Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer. In this new reality, the disgraced movie producer had never been convicted of rape and was even given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Clinton....

About Gregory Iron: Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a very young age, professional wrestling would’ve been a distant dream for anyone else, but not for Gregory Iron. A prominent figure in the independent scene, Gregory Iron is known as “The Handicapped Hero”, and has been praised by almost everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him and watch him wrestle. He has also been the subject of an amazing documentary titled “An Iron Will”, which won an Emmy for the Best Single Sports Story in June, 2012....

However, the Netflix series’ casting was almost very different. When Season 2 casting was first announced in February 2019, Murder on the Orient Express actress (and Angelina Jolie’s godmother) Jacqueline Bisset was due to play an earlier version of the Sandy’s ex-wife character. The role, which was then named Gabrielle, was described by Deadline as: “Mindy’s (Sarah Baker) mom and Sandy’s (Michael Douglas) French ex-wife who delights in still being able to push the buttons of her ex-husband....

What happened to Norman in The Kominsky Method? The Kominsky Method’s third season kicks off with the funeral of Norman, with various characters from the show eulogizing Norman in their characteristic way. Sandy, for example, jokes about his loving but bickering relationship with his irascible agent. Grandson Robby (Haley Joel Osment), meanwhile, gives a Scientologist eulogy–and later offers to audit Sandy to relieve him of his grief. What the show does not reveal in this funeral is how exactly Norman died–especially as it was Sandy who has had brushes with cancer twice in the show so far....

ESPN’s 10-part documentary chronicling Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls revealed Jordan initially wanted to sign with Converse or Adidas. When the former told him it already boasted too many high-profile athletes to make the fresh-faced Jordan the face of its brand and the latter declined to give him his own shoe, Jordan signed with Nike. The deal was arguably the most significant of its kind. In the 36-year intervening years, the swoosh brand has sold over 126 million of Jordan-branded shoes, catapulting MJ into a global commercial icon whose fortune, according to Forbes estimates, stands at $2....

On the official PlayStation blog, Herman Hulst—Head of Worldwide Studios for Sony Interactive Entertainment—confirmed that The Last of Us Part II will be released June 19 and Ghost of Tsushima will drop on July 17. Hulst also thanked both game studios, Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch, for making sure the games were ready to launch even during these trying times. “Both teams have worked hard to deliver world-class experiences, and we can’t wait to see what you think of them when they release in just a few short months,” Hulst said....

As it turns out, this new Legend of Zelda might not actually be an open world game. It may have many of the qualities of the genre, but series creator Shigeru Miyamoto doesn’t like to use term when describing the upcoming game. Speaking at an annual Nintendo shareholder event, Miyamoto explained why he doesn’t use the term “open world” when describing Zelda on Wii U. What isn’t entirely clear from Miyamoto’s comments is what traits from the open world genre Zelda Wii U will have....

[HTML1] Video game adaptations of popular movies are almost always met with a resounding cry of mediocrity. On the other hand, the LEGO series of games seem to hit their mark with each iteration. Combine the two, and the end product could very well go either way. Enter the launch trailer for The LEGO Movie Videogame. Regardless of whether it ends up being good or not, you can bet that the game will have no shortage of bricks and familiar cameos....

In essence, I was. I had indicated a desire to leave, but they handed me my hat before I could. I told the president in October that I had a desire to return to private life. In January, I told him I had delayed that somewhat. I got called in on Feb. 20 and was told I needed to announce my resignation the next day. One of my primary feelings was relief, because this job has been unrelentingly difficult....

The Oprah Conversation will start this July, with Oprah Winfrey interviewing How to Be an Antiracist author Ibram X. Kendi. The Apple TV+ show’s coming episodes will see Oprah interview figures like “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” host Emmanuel Acho and Bryan Stevenson, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and inspiration behind the movie Just Mercy.

At this point, a show’s chances of getting a Season 2 would be fairly high, even in a climate where Netflix is canceling many of its shows early. However, we are still very unlikely to see a Season 2 of The Queen’s Gambit. We know this because of the different designation that Netflix and other TV networks give their series. Some shows are billed as regular series, which means that they might air over multiple seasons, while some are billed as “limited series” or “mini-series,” which means they are telling a self-contained story, to be told over a limited number of episodes, usually over the course of one season....

Around 5 p.m., I noticed that all of the news anchors were wearing black. At that moment, I felt it wouldn’t be good news, given that doctors were concerned for her health. When we were told she had passed, I started crying. It was all surreal—I couldn’t believe that she was actually gone. I’m a lover of history. I studied history for my AP class, and learning about the Royal Family fascinated me....
