Johnson and Garcia partnered with Gerry Cardinale and RedBird Capital Partners to rescue the struggling football league from bankruptcy. About four months ago, the XFL’s parent company, Alpha Entertainment LLC, faced financial struggles after shutting down due to the pandemic. The purchase will be officially finalized sometime near August 21st. Over on social media, Johnson praised his “trailblazing business partner” and tweeted, “We have acquired the XFL. With gratitude & passion I’ve built a career with my own two hands and will apply these callouses to our XFL....

For Electronic Arts, that’s just the latest in a string of Madden NFL cover athletes who fans believe were cursed by being put on the cover of the game. To be fair, it isn’t a superstition that goes without precedent: the early Madden NFL cover athletes were plagued by injuries, under-performances, and even one player who decided to retire out-of-the-blue during his cover year. After a few years of Madden NFL cover athletes having horrible seasons while they graced the covers of the annual title, fans started to pay attention to the Madden curse - and with good reason....

Esposito, who embodied the wonderfully intimidating villain Moff Gideon during season 2 of The Mandalorian, recently spoke out just a little bit about the show’s next season. Giving just enough information to keep everyone engaged without revealing too much, Esposito also offered the tiniest glimpse behind the scenes in his own charming and soft-spoken way. That chill personality still doesn’t stop him from being typecast as a villain like in Far Cry 6, but he’s trying....

The format for this edition of “The Match” will mirror what the 2021 Ryder Cup used in one-on-one golf matches. It will be a bit more simple than other editions of “The Match” in previous years. However, the biggest difference for this fall’s event is the two golfers will only compete in a 12-hole round rather than playing all 18 holes. Sporting News has you covered with a breakdown of the rules, format and scoring system to be used in “The Match....

However, this year’s event is a bit different than it has been in years past. There are no professional golfers participating in the 2022 iteration of the event. Instead, NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers will square off against Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in a battle between two of the game’s most talented veterans and two of its great, young passers. The lack of a professional in the field will make The Match a bit more difficult to predict in 2022....

Studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet can support heart health and may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. This diet is also recommended by the American Heart Association, U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “The Mediterranean diet is a style of eating that places emphasis on vegetables, whole grains, nuts, lean proteins, and is primarily plant-based,” Cara Harbstreet, MS, RD, LD, a registered dietitian and founder of Street Smart Nutrition, told Verywell....

MLS endured another disheartening exit from the CONCACAF Champions League, raising familiar questions about just how far the league has to go, and leaving fans questioning why MLS seemingly hasn't made up any ground on Liga MX. The early MLS exit from the region's top club competition wasn't about bad officiating (though the referees can usually be counted on for a few blown calls), or about the timing of the tournament (though it is fair to say it does hurt MLS teams)....

Tip: You’ll save $7,500 on the E320, but the engine is smaller.

Avoiding these complications can lead to faster recovery after surgery. Pain After Surgery Pain is probably the most common complaint that surgery patients have in the days and sometimes weeks following surgery. Pain is to be expected and can be managed with medication, but an expectation of no pain after a procedure is likely not realistic. Plan to manage your pain with medications ranging from over the counter medications like Tylenol or Ibuprofen or even prescription pain medications if prescribed by your surgeon....

When games are sold at auction, the demand for these games can get so immense that the prices can rise higher than what most people might make in a year. These are some of the most expensive games put up at auction in no particular order. RELATED: Extremely Rare Pokemon Card Sells at Auction for $90,000 Super Mario Bros - $114,000 One of the most recent cases of expensive video game sales happened recently on July 10th, 2020 where a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros for the NES was sold for $114,000 at auction....

The Last Guardian VR Demo is a standalone experience, meaning players don’t have to own a copy of The Last Guardian itself to check it out. According to Sony, The Last Guardian VR Demo will last around 20 minutes, which seems a little on the short side, but it’s hard to complain about something that’s being released for free. In the demo, players will control “the boy” as he interacts with Trico....

In the interview, Neil Druckmann asks Troy Baker, the voice actor for Joel, who’s previously commented on the game, whether the Last of Us 2 voice actor remembers the deleted scene, which takes place between Ellie and Dina, and features Ellie hunting a boar while living on the Farm. The scene was even playable pre-release, and was a part of the game all the way up until near the very end of development, originally meant to show several days of Ellie living on the Farm with Dina, but focuses in particular on the impact hunting has on Ellie....

Ellie has turned into one of the more beloved characters in gaming over the last few years. She is a deep and perplexing character who has grown up during an incredibly dark and apocalyptic time. She is incredibly strong and loyal, yet she deals with complex issues such as survivor’s guilt and PTSD. However, even if all she truly knows is the world of the Infected and humans who backstab, she has much curiosity and knowledge of the world before its turn, and one artist captured that with a piece of artwork depicting Ellie from The Last of Us 2 as an astronaut....

Uploading the image to the Last of Us subreddit recently, user LadyPhantom74 has showed just how incredibly talented they are with a stunning drawing of Ellie. The drawing has an exceptional amount of detail, and while the artist didn’t specify the medium they used to create it, a closer look suggests that it was done in pencil. The details include the freckles on Ellie’s nose, messy strands of hair, specks of dirt on her face, and that far away look in her eyes....

While Sony and Naughty Dog continue to work out a new release plan, the fear of most fans was realized recently as the story for The Last of Us 2 and some of its cutscenes have leaked online. Fans have been pushing Sony to release the game digitally since the initial delay, but this leak has left most players concerned and renewed the cries for a release sooner than later....

This news, bizarrely enough, comes from a promo video Naughty Dog made to celebrate International Women’s Day. While the focus is obviously on Naughty Dog’s female staff members, we can catch glimpses of work being done on The Last of Us: Part 2. On a first glance, there doesn’t seem to be anything noteworthy but eagle-eyed members of the Last of Us Reddit community were able to discover some interesting details - among them being the aforementioned upgrade system, which we can see being worked on by UI designer Maria Capel....

According to a new report from Kotaku, a number of sources claim that The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 co-director Bruce Straley will not be involved with The Last of Us: Part 2 and that his longtime creative partner Neil Druckmann will be the sole director of the game. The official word from Naughty Dog, according to the sources, is that Straley will be taking a year-long sabbatical following the successful launch of Uncharted 4 earlier this year....

While the rebooted Saints Row is not releasing until later this year, players already have access to its character creator via the Saints Row Boss Factory. This neat demo allows players to easily create and share their characters, getting their protagonist ready to go before the game officially launches. A smart bit of marketing that also allows players to jump into the game on day one with a fully created character, many have been testing the limits of the Boss Factory....

The Last of Us TV series was announced this past March to be in production at HBO, with one of the game’s original creative directors, Neil Druckmann (the other being Bruce Straley, who left developer Naughty Dog after a long sabbatical a few years ago). Druckmann is also developing the show with the creator of last year’s critically acclaimed HBO miniseries Chernobyl, Craig Mazin. The series will also have the game’s composer, Gustavo Santaolalla, returning as well....
