After a turnover, the player responsible gets to wear the chain on the sideline in a feel-good celebration of the events. That small gesture alone is sure to make headlines every time its placed around a player’s neck. No team wants to see them celebrating, so obviously the stakes and the urgency to avoid that happening have reached new levels when the chain came into the situation. Now, we have something similar going on in the NFL, but this time it’s coming from the people over at Snickers . The chocolate brand has teamed up with famed jeweler Ben Baller (#BenBallerDidTheChain) for their latest activation, in which Ben created a fully iced out chain featuring a snickers “S” logo. If you aren’t familiar with Ben Baller, he is without a doubt the top jeweler in the game right now. His quality is unmatched, and players being able to wear a piece of his art is incentive enough. The new Snickers chain is going to make a weekly rotation to one player who left nothing on the field and displayed the most hunger for the win that week. In an age were activations are rarely making sense or moving people like they used to, its dope to see one that you know is going to have people talking and make some friendly competition just a little bit more competitive. Peep Ben Baller’s announcement about his latest opportunity down below: View this post on Instagram @SNICKERS is crazy… They asked me to make them a piece for the NFL season that was worthy of being passed to a different player each week who proved he was hungry for more. I’m really proud of this one. Believe me, it is HEAVY and so ICY! Can’t wait to see who earns it each week. Stay hungry. #SNICKERSchain #BenBallerDidTheChain #Ad How much do you think this chain cost? A post shared by
Back in July, baseball fans were stunned by the death of Tyler Skaggs , a 27-year-old pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. Now, medical examiners in Los Angeles county have released the results of toxicology testing that points to the cause of Skaggs’ death. According to the official coroner’s report, Skaggs passed away due to a combination “alcohol, fentanyl and oxycodone intoxication with terminal aspiration of gastric contents.” It appears that after a night in which he ingested several intoxicating substances, Skaggs choked on his own vomit while unconscious. Now, in a shocking turn of events, the Skaggs family has revealed that they intend to take legal action, as they believe an employee of the Angels is directly responsible for Tyler’s passing: “We are heartbroken to learn that the passing of our beloved Tyler was the result of a combination of dangerous drugs and alcohol,” the statement said. “That is completely out of character for someone who worked so hard to become a Major League baseball player and had a very promising future in the game he loved so much,” it continued. “We are grateful for the work of the detectives in the Southlake Police Department and their ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Tyler’s death. We were shocked to learn that it may involve an employee of the Los Angeles Angels,” the grieving family added. “We will not rest until we learn the truth about how Tyler came into possession of these narcotics, including who supplied them. To that end, we have hired attorney Rusty Hardin to assist us.” This is the first time the family has publicly suggested the possibility of taking action against the Angels. In his own statement, attorney Hardin stated that it’s “way too early” to speculate on any potential legal action by Skaggs’ loved ones. “I think the thing to keep in mind is they’re just still so devastated, both the wife and the family, about this young man’s death, and they just want to know what happened and how it happened,” Hardin told the Los Angeles Times. “We’re going to want to know how it came about that those drugs were ingested and whether or not others are responsible for what happened.” The Angels have yet to publicly respond to the allegations and have issued no official statement on Skagg’s passing since their initial press release: “It is with great sorrow that we report Tyler Skaggs passed away earlier today in Texas,” the team said at the time. “Tyler has, and always will be, an important part of the Angels family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Galaxy Note fans rejoice, the wait for the next iteration in Samsung’s stylist based flagship model is here. Yesterday (August 7) in Brooklyn, the South Korean tech giant led by its CEO DJ Koh unpacked the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. Galaxy Note 10 vs. Galaxy Note 10 Plus Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The first thing you will notice about the new Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is how beautiful of a device it is and of course, the size of it. Coming in 6.3 inches is the Galaxy Note 10, while the luxurious Note 10 Plus is a 6.8-inch marvel. In hand, I was impressed at how light both devices were despite the plus version being slightly heavier. They didn’t feel ridiculous while I played around with the phones for a bit. Like the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus both variations of the Note 10 Dynamic AMOLED With HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping giving users a complete edge to edge experience with no distractions. Improving on the S10 design where they placed the hole-punched front-facing camera on the right of the screen, it is now a single camera located in the middle of the Note 10’s screen. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Gone on both models is the headphone jack, unfortunately. Samsung claims it made the decisions to part with it to free up space phone for more battery capacity. So you will be forced to either go wireless or use the USB-C headphones that come with the phone. You can also use a dongle adaptor, Samsung does not supply you with one sadly. While on the subject of the battery, the Note 10 packs a 3,5000 mAh versus the Note 10 Plus 4,300 mAh. Both models do feature wireless charging, and 30-minute quick charging using a 45-watt wired charger that Samsung boasts will last the entire day. The button configuration on the phone has also changed. The Bixby button has been removed. It is now replaced with the power/lock button on the left side of the phone directly underneath the volume controls. If you want to trigger Bixby, just press and hold down the button, to open the camera, press the button twice. As far as storage, the Note 10 comes with 256GB while the Note 10 Plus comes with either 256 or 512GB. The MicroSD card slot is not on the Note 10 but is present on the Note 10 Plus. The lite version of the Note 10 packs 8GB of RAM versus 12GB for the Plus. The phones come in an array of different colors which Samsung labels with “Aura” due to the fantastic shine each color gives off. The one model that caught everyone one’s eye, including mine, was the “Aura Glow” finish, which was absolutely stunning in person. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Both the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus utilize the same in-screen fingerprint reader used in the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. While there are a good number of differences, both models are still relatively the same with a slight edge going to the Note 10 Plus understandably. Pro-Grade Camera System Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Pro-Grade camera system introduced with Galax S10 and S10 Plus gets a boost. Users will still be able to seamlessly switch among the different lens located on the rear. Instead of them being positioned horizontally like on the Galaxy S10, the cameras are now vertical. As mentioned about there is only one front-facing camera now. Samsung notes that better software for taking portrait selfies and now “Night Mode” allowed for the removal of the second camera. 12-megapixel dual-aperture lens 16-megapixel wide-angle lens 12-megapixel telephoto lens 10-megapixel front-facing camera Where the two models differ is the Note 10 Plus’ inclusion of a fourth 3D depth-sensing camera on the back. It will allow users to take portrait video (Live Focus Video), allowing blur effects, so the subject is the main focus. Note 10 Plus owners will also be able to draw on top of their photos and videos using the S Pen now with a new feature called AR Doodle. It was a hit among everyone at the event. If you shoot a video of someone while using AR Doodle, the camera will track their movements so everything you drew on them will follow them. Another cool feature AR Doodle will allow is the ability to save the file you created as either a JPEG or movie file. Once saved, you will be able to share it on any platform and not with just Note 10 users, unlike Apple’s Live Photo feature. Samsung also showed off the 3D depth-sensing camera’s ability to scan objects and turn them into a moveable 3D render. During the presentation, we got to see “DepthVision” in action using a teddy bear, I also someone do a person, and both were very accurate. 3D scanning on the #GalaxyNote10 #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/5S7xaToFRs — B E A N Z | Hot Boy Summer Loading… (@PhotosByBeanz) August 7, 2019 Last but certainly not least, Samsung introduced to Zoom-In-Mic video recording. While filming, users will be able to push background noise aside to focus on the sounds they want. Plus a new and improved version of “Super Steady” helps to film action sequences while removing bumps and shakes. The S Pen Gets Upgraded Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz There is still a country for people who love to work with stylists. Samsung has brought back the S-Pen with some upgrades. Last year’s version of the peripheral introduced Bluetooth capability allowing Note 9 owners to do things like snap a picture by just using the S Pen remotely. The Note 10’s S Pen gets an upgrade. You will now be able to operate the phone and certain features using gestures or as Samsung describes it Air actions. By holding down the button and flicking your hand left, right, up and, down, you will be able to switch cameras, change songs on Spotify or even sitch slides during a PowerPoint presentation. There are more advanced gestures, for example, if you make a circular motion, you can zoom in or out while using the camera. While trying it out, it didn’t work perfectly, but after a few tries, I was able to get some of the gestures to work. Nothing some practice won’t fix, but I don’t think its something most Note users will be using all of the time. Gaming Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz While I am not the biggest fan of mobile gaming, I left the Barclay’s Arena very impressed with the Note 10’s ability to run big games. I got to try out the forthcoming Call of Duty mobile game which Samsung is partnering with. I was absolutely blown away with how great the game looked on the phone and how smoothly it ran. The controls were easy to figure it out, but if you’re not a fan of using the on-screen configuration, you can connect and controller using Bluetooth. The product expert on hand also explained that the game will automatically match you with other players using controllers. So you won’t have an advantage over others who instead use the on-screen controls. If you’re worried about your Note 10 or Note 10 Plus getting hot while the game is running there is a solution for that. Thanks to the”world’s slimmest” vapor chamber cooling system which will help deliver optimal performance during gameplay while keeping the phone cool. Depending on what game you are playing, the AI-based Game Booster will optimize the performance and power consumption of the Note 10 without sacrificing performance quality. Gamers will also be able to screen record as well, so Samsung definitely had Twitcher and Mixers in mind. Link To Windows Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Microsoft’s CEO Satya Narayana Nadella was on hand to talk about Samsung’s partnership with his company. With Link to Windows (yes some people still use it) you will be able to sync your Note 10 straight to your Windows 10 desktop. Once connected via the cable that comes with the phone, you will be able to view your messages, notifications, photos, and even mirror your screen. Pricing Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are available for pre-order right now. The 6.3-inch Note 10 starts at $949 while the Note 10 Plus will cost $1,099. The Verizon timed exclusive 5G version of the Note 10 Plus will run you $1,299. The Note 10 comes in three colors Aura White, Aura Black and Aura Glow. The Note 10 Plus comes in an extra Aura Blue color that is only available in the US through Samsung or Best Buy. I was thoroughly impressed, but I’m looking forward to getting more time with the Note 10 for further review. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty M amie Till-Mobley, mother of Emmett Till, will be the central focus for season one of ABC’s Women of the Movement, a new series that will highlight and chronicle the civil-rights movement “as told by the women behind it.” The series will be produced by Jay-Z and Will Smith, both of whom were vital to securing the show a spot on ABC’s lineup. The show will focus on Mamie Till, whose son — Emmett Till — was lynched by a white mob in Mississippi for allegedly winking at a white woman in 1955. Following his death, Till-Mobley went on to join a forces with major players in the fight for civil rights justice following her son’s death. She dedicated the rest of her life to the civil justice and reform until her own passing in 2003. Jay-Z originally teamed up with HBO to work on a miniseries surround Emmet Till, where Taraji P. Henson was set to play his mother, but when director John Middleton died in April, the project was believed to be dissolved. It is not confirmed, but speculated that Women of the Movement is a the product of the work already done into the aforementioned miniseries surround Till. When proposed with the possibility of grabbing the rights to this, ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke instantly loved the idea as the series would turn attention to the women who were responsible for so many key events associated with the civil rights movement. This move aligns perfectly with Burke’s proposition to get more women in programming at the station.
Source: Macguyver/WENN.com / WENN Draymond Green Reportedly Signs A 4-Year Deal With Golden State It looks like Golden State is focused on keeping their core players together. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Draymond Green and the Warriors have agreed to a four-year, $100 million maximum contract extension. With free agency looming next summer, three-time All-Star Draymond Green has agreed to a four-year, $100M maximum contract extension with Golden State, agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) August 3, 2019 Prior to the big news, Green was set to hit the free agency market next summer–but if that were to happen, he would be highly sought after. The three-time All-Star is considered to be the anchor that kept the Warriors steady during their five-year finals run. So, to prevent losing such a pivotal piece of their franchise, the Warriors decided to extend Draymond the biggest offer that they could. Just last month, the Warriors and Klay Thompson agreed to a five-year, $190 million contract during this summer’s free agency. Even though Green received the most money he could at this point in his career, if he had waited until free agency, he would’ve been able to seek out a bigger contract from the Warriors or another franchise. The choice he made–to not even consider another option–proves that star players like Steph Curry, Klay, and Draymond are looking to continue building something special as a unit. Congrats to Draymond on the big bag!
D uring the first Democratic debate, Sen. Kamala Harris went viral for holding Joe Biden accountable for comments about segregationists and his policy on bussing. Now, the tables have turned and Harris took a blow in the polls. See Also: This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance According to the Morning Consult poll, Harris went from 13 to 10 percentage points, the only top eight candidates to drop. Sanders, Booker, Buttigeg, Booker, O’Rourke and Yang all remained the same. Warren went from 13 to 15 percent. Biden went from 31 to 32 percent. Harris’ drop could be due to the attack by Tulsi Gabbard . The Congresswoman from Hawaii said, “Now Senator Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president. But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” She continued, “She blocked evidence — she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.” Harris tried to defend herself but Gabbard continued, “The bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not. And worse yet, in the case of those who were on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so.” WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard brings up Kamala Harris' record as California AG, saying Harris “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” #DemDebate #DemDebate2 #DemocraticDebate pic.twitter.com/1634mXChh3 — NewsBusters (@newsbusters) August 1, 2019 Biden got pummeled as well, especially by Cory Booker. When Biden tried to distance himself from Obama’s immigration policies, Booker went in, “You can’t have it both ways. You invoke President Obama more than anybody in this campaign. You can’t do it when it’s convenient and then dodge it when it’s not. And the second thing that this really irks me because I heard the vice president say that if you got a PhD., you can come right into this country. Well that’s playing into what the republicans want, to pit some immigrants against other immigrants.” He also said, “Some are from shithole countries and some are from worthy countries. We need to reform this whole immigration system and begin to be the country that says everyone has worth and dignity and this should be a country that honors for everyone. ” Nonetheless, that hasn’t shaken Biden in the polls.

I love female tennis….and Serena Williams may be a great tennis player. A star….a Super Star even….who bought herself some nerd who created Reddit and made him cum inside her….but I don’t consider her a female tennis star. That’s just the league she’s in….because she’s also terrifying while female tennis players are supposed to be dainty in skirts while hitting balls at least they were before this came along and elevated the sport. Maybe it is because or strength, in some powerful woman shit, and I am sure some people, like the Reddit guy have that fetish of being smothered by a big woman….but from my perspective….it’s unfair advantage, trans before trans was a thing, she’s a man, before Amanda Bynes went crazy…Ladybugs before Rodney Dangerfield and Jonathan Brandis were dead….the guy, dressed like a girl, to excel at the sport…but apparently, based on her baby making, she’s got a pussy and woman parts…and she likes to do woman things and dress up like a woman and this is the end result of that big ol’ mom ass doing weirdness… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Source: Mario Tama / Getty We still roaming the wild, wild west in Red Dead Redemption 2 , that hasn’t stopped fans for salivating for the next installment in the famed GTA franchise. A Reddit user caused quite a stir on the internet by leaking alleged details for Grand Theft Auto 6 Over the weekend, Reddit user JackOLantern1982 had social media buzzing when he posted a bunch of features he claimed would be in GTA 6 . He claims he acquired the information from a person he knows at online video game publication Kotaku and a “friend” who works Rockstar Games, the studio behind the popular but always controversial title. According to JackOLantern, the next installment has been in development since 2012, will take us back to Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro and is set in between the 70s-80s. Rumored GTA 6 details: Been in development since 2012 Codename is PROJECT AMERICAS Set in both Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro Set in 1970s-1980s You play as a drug lord-wannabe named “Ricardo” Inspired by Netflix's Narcos #GTA6 #GTAVI pic.twitter.com/2oH9v1i0Bn — GTA 6 News (@GTA6Intel) June 30, 2019 The leaks also suggest players will control a character named “Ricardo” who is described as a “wannabe drug dealer” with the rumored plot of the highly-anticipated game being “heavily inspired” by the hit Netflix original series Narcos . Other interesting tidbits he shared include is GTA 6 only allowing you to control one character, possible in missions in both Liberty City and supposedly Cuba and somehow the AIDS epidemic being worked into the story. Grand Theft Auto 6 info leaked by a JackOLantern1982 on reddit. #GTA6 #Leak pic.twitter.com/YObgDWB73K — Yash Shukla (@yashshukla23) July 1, 2019 But there is cause for pause with these details. Forbes caught up with video game insider and journalist Jason Schreier he threw cold water on the hot news saying the list is most likely fake. He reasons that the details sound too realistic, while GTA does tackle most relevant pop-culture issues the game does so in a mocking way. He also points to the fact Rockstar hasn’t given any indication it is working on GTA 6 , and with Red Dead Redemption 2 still being the main focus of the studio we shouldn’t be expecting any Grand Theft Auto 6 announcements anytime soon. Besides, Rockstar Games keeps everything it does close to the vest, and we would be shocked if details about GTA 6 did leak out. Not for nothing, it was exciting to read those details, we don’t expect any news about a new Grand Theft Auto game to surface until Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles hit the market. — Photo: Mario Tama / Getty

Source: WENN.com / WENN LaVar Ball Speaks On His ESPN Ban & Molly Qerim Situation LaVar Ball was banned from appearing on all ESPN platforms following a controversial response to Molly Qerim when he was a guest at First Take last week. But, unsurprisingly, the famous basketball father doesn’t seem to be affected by the network’s decision. Ball was discussing the recent trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans that ended up sending his son Lonzo to the latter team (along with a few other players) in exchange for Anthony Davis. LaVar was in the middle of a debate with Stephen A. Smith when Molly Qerim asked, “Can we switch gears?” To which the Ball family patriarch responded, “You can switch gears with me anytime.” That response really didn’t sit well with Qerim and after the show, ESPN told LaVar that his comments were inappropriate. Ball later responded through his representative saying that he didn’t mean for it to sound like a sexual remark at all. Now, LaVar is speaking on the situation publicly, and he stands by his statement up to this point. He also has words for Molly. LaVar says the only he’ll hit on Molly is if she ever breaks in his house #lavarball #lonzoball #mollyqerim pic.twitter.com/ogHHb1zFKQ — SLEEPERSALLDAY (@sleepersallday) June 22, 2019 As you can see in the video above, LaVar insists that he doesn’t need ESPN, because he has his own show. He also clarifies that switching gears simply means changing subjects, and the only way he would hit on Qerim is if she broke into his house. Following the segment airing initially, viewers had mixed reactions about the segment and what was said. While some fans insist that what LaVar said was indeed inappropriate, others are saying that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. But regardless of his response and clarification, ESPN still hasn’t wavered on its decision to ban Ball and it doesn’t look like they are planning to lift it anytime soon.
