Drakeo, real name Darrell Caldwell, was scheduled to perform at the Once Upon a Time in L.A. concert at the Banc of California Stadium when he was caught in an altercation backstage and stabbed, according to The Los Angeles Times. The 28-year-old musician—who was listed on the night’s star-studded roster alongside the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and 50 Cent—later died of his injuries in hospital. No arrests have been made, per The Times....

Second choice Germany pass big test Head coach Joachim Low was criticised by many after picking an inexperienced squad for the competition in Russia, a decision some derided as disrespectful to the other teams involved. Die Mannschaft proved to be a serious proposition indeed, though, defying their tender years to top Group B, brush aside Mexico 4-1 in the semi-finals and then secure a narrow 1-0 victory over Copa America holders Chile in the decider in St Petersburg on Sunday....

Speaking with reporters Friday, Green was asked about recent criticism from the “NBA on TNT” analyst, and he proceeded to unload a number of verbal jabs.

He already ain’t make enough money, so he needs that job. He should stop talking to me....

Like the Dreamcast, Visual Concepts had hooked on to some ideas which came ahead of their rise in prominence: namely, on-disc DLC. While this method of delivering content is oft-despised by gamers now, back then it was a mostly unheard-of concept. Floigan Bros. had a year’s worth of monthly scheduled on-disc content to deploy, including new outfits, characters, in-game items, and even a brand new mini-game. Unfortunately, all of these DLC items haven’t been available in an online archive for the game, until some of the original Floigan Bros....

John August’s trickily structured script owes an all too obvious debt to “Pulp Fiction,” but Liman’s film is more like kiddie Tarantino. Guns are fired and shovels raised with murderous intent, but no one ever gets seriously harmed. Like its naive protagonists, the movie flirts with danger, only to back off and announce “Just kidding!” As he showed in “Swingers,” Liman has an ingratiating sensibility and an energetic style. “Go” is peppered with funny bits: kids talking themselves into a high on the cold medicine Polley passes off as ecstasy; Wolf and Mohr’s bickering, showbiz relationship, and best of all Fichtner’s insinuating lunacy as a drug cop with a screw loose....

For now, that title belongs to Brees. After throwing two on Monday night against the Houston Texans, the 40-year-old Saints quarterback passed Brady, 42, by a pair at 522 touchdown passes. Peyton Manning holds the record with 539 touchdowns, a mark that figures to be passed by both veteran quarterbacks in 2019. MORE: Saints stun Texans with late comeback win on Monday night The touchdown that Brees used to pass Brady was an unconventional one to say the least....

The rookie quarterback, who is dealing with a hand injury, could start the season on the injured reserve, coach Vic Fangio told reporters Thursday. Lock will not play or practice for at least the rest of the preseason, Fangio said. “Obviously because it’s his throwing hand and a thumb, that’s a pretty serious injury for a quarterback,’’ Fangio said, via ESPN. “It will be some time before we know exactly where he’s at and how much time he would miss....

They’re both great fuel sources, but one is a little bit better. Since they both have their pros and cons, here’s everything players need to know about the two fuel sources. Coal blocks and dried kelp blocks: Comparing two Minecraft fuel sources Ironically enough, these two fuel sources are two of the best in the entire game. In fact, there’s only one fuel source that is better than these two blocks: a lava bucket....

Trump’s video takes are among records that Federal Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled the committee investigating the insurrection will have access to, Thompson told Cuomo Prime Time. The Mississippi Democratic congressman said that video of what Trump said on the day of the insurrection was essential for his committee to come to a conclusion about what happened. “The president, it took him six times for the video to say to the people to go home,” Thompson told CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Tuesday....

Trump issued a statement through his spokesperson, Liz Harrington, on Wednesday after Senator McConnell criticized the Republican National Committee (RNC) for censuring Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. “For the Old Crow Mitch McConnell to say that the RNC should not censure walking Democrat sound bites, Liz Cheney and Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, is so against what Republicans are about,” Trump’s statement said. “It’s not as bad as the two-month extension he gave the Democrats when they were ready to fold, but the censure of Cheney and Kinzinger is a good and very appropriate thing to do as it pertains to our great Republican Party!...

When Trump came calling in late 2018, asking Barr to serve—for the second time—as attorney general of the United States, Barr wasn’t particularly in need of a job. He was a longstanding member of the Washington establishment, having been named attorney general by George H.W. Bush in 1991. After Bush lost in 1992, Barr began a long, lucrative career in the private sector, eventually becoming chief legal counsel for the telecommunications company that would become Verizon....

In a post on Truth Social, the former president said that it “wasn’t my fault” that the GOP failed to ride the expected “red wave” in November’s elections, while pointing the finger for the poor election results at those in the party who pushed for severe abortion restrictions post Roe v. Wade. Many people, including within the GOP, blamed Trump’s MAGA and election denying candidates for the GOP failing to retake control of the Senate and only just achieving a slim majority in the House....

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped his latest “Woj Bomb” on Tuesday night, reporting that the Jazz are now willing to listen to trade offers for Donovan Mitchell. Jazz general manager Justin Zanik discussed the possibility of a Mitchell trade on Saturday, leading to plenty of speculation about the 25-year-old’s future. “Change is inevitable in the NBA. I’m not trying to be cryptic or anything else, but Donovan is on our roster and he’s a very, very important part of what we’re trying to do,” Zanik said....

One of the key resources in the game is cash because it enables factory upgrades. Players will make more money and advance in the game if they improve their capacity for baking things.

Also accompanying the news is a brand new multiplayer focused trailer, giving players a quick look at what will be awaiting them once the beta doors open.

Dortmund celebrated a goal festival at home, as 10-man Freiburg were unequal to put up any resistance. The “BVB” controlled the proceedings on the pitch from the outset but yet they had to wait until the 35th minute to break the deadlock through Marco Reus’ goal, reports Xinhua. Freiburg’s Fallou Diagne brought down Robert Lewandowski with a professional foul which resulted in a penalty and a straight red card. Reus converted the spot-kick to seal his brace before the break....

In a frenzied first period Dortmund came from a goal down to lead 5-2 with Shinji Kagawa scoring twice and Marco Reus, back from a six-month injury break, also on target along with Nuri Sahin and Ousmane Dembele. Legia’s Aleksandar Prijovic netted twice for the Poles and also hit the woodwork in a topsy-turvy first half. Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel fielded a largely second-string team following their win over Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, including top striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang....

The recently concluded PGL Arlington DOTA 2 Major saw many teams duke it out to secure direct invites to the crowning annual event. When the dust finally settled, fans had the names of 12 outfits that they thought were going to TI. Sadly for one of the teams on the list, there was a discrepancy between how the DOTA Pro Circuit (DPC) standings were calculated and how some unofficial sources had calculated them....

Trenched is another clever installment to the Double Fine lineup where you take control of a mech to battle your enemies. The game features a blend of third-person shooter and role-playing games, but combat will mainly follow the tower defense style of gaming. The story behind Trenched follows wheelchair ridden war hero, Frank Woodruff. He and fellow handicapped veteran, Vladamir Farmsworth, were both survivors of a strange attack - a communication that exploded the brains of the majority of the world’s population....
