NFL Player Ricky Pearsall Reflects on Being Shot

Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has become a valuable contributor for the San Francisco 49ers, but the second-year player was simply thankful to be alive after a terrifying incident in 2024. Last August, just months after the 49ers selected him in the NFL Draft, Pearsall was shot during an armed robbery near San Francisco's Union Square. While speaking to ESPN, Pearsall discussed his thoughts after being shot and what he reflected on while injured. "My adrenaline was rushing. I didn't feel, really, much pain at all. It was just more of like a burning sensation," the wide receiver said. "I'm very religious. I'm a Christian. I just didn't know if I was going to go to heaven or hell. I definitely thought about my family ... not knowing if I was going to tell my family I love them again." Wide Receiver Describes the Incident Pearsall says that he saw someone walking toward him while he placed shopping bags into the back of his car. After signing a...

Radiohead Breaks Years-Long Record Held by Metallica

Radiohead's tour to commemorate their classic album "The Bends" was already set to make history, but their set of dates in the United Kingdom will now live in infamy. The English band played four sold-out shows at the O2 Arena in London earlier this month, and they broke a long-standing record that was previously held by another all-time great band in the process. Radiohead's four shows at the O2 from November 21-25 each brought in over 20,000 attendees , with the final show reporting an attendance of 22,355. The sellout streak beat the previous record that has been held by Metallica since 2017. After four sensational sold-out shows at The O2, @radiohead have made history with the highest ever attendance within the arena. Previously set by Metallica in 2017, the band have now surpassed that attendance figure four times, setting a new record of 22,355 👏 pic.twitter.com/s3EuPYlhYo — The O2 (@TheO2) November 28, 2025 Radiohead's Record-Breaking Performances ...

An Austrian beauty influencer named Stefanie Pieper has been found "dumped" in a forest. According to the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung , Pieper, who was from Graz, Austria, was discovered "packed in a suitcase and buried in a forest in Slovenia." Pieper's ex-boyfriend is accused of the crime and was arrested in Slovenia and extradited to Austria, the newspaper reported.

The newspaper added that the suspect, who was not named, allegedly "led investigators to the influencer's body." Some news sites gave Pieper's age as 32, but an Austrian police news release used 31.

Why Record Labels Are Suddenly Pushing Spotify and Apple Music to Copy Netflix

While video streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+ have aggressively adjusted their models to maximize revenue, the music world has remained comparatively steady. Unfortunately, that might be about to change. According to a new report, major record labels have begun putting serious pressure on several of the music streaming giants, including Spotify and Apple Music. One of the words no one ever wants to hear attached to pricing is "inflation," but that's the premise behind the reported issue. In short, music subscriptions are lagging behind inflation, leading to a push for these services to watch, learn and follow along with the TV streaming juggernauts.

Lane Kiffin Explodes After Ole Miss-Mississippi State Brawl During Egg Bowl

Lane Kiffin was so miffed during Saturday's Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State that he even called out the opponent's athletic director. It all stems from a fumble late in the second quarter, when Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was tackled in the pocket, forcing a fumble that Mississippi State recovered. After recovering the ball and players were getting removed from the pile, some players got into it with each other, which quickly triggered a bench-clearing brawl. Penalty flags started flying all over the place, and officials issued unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. In the video, you can see Kiffin, Ole Miss' head coach, trying to keep his players in check. When the first half ended, ESPN caught up with Kiffin before he headed to the tunnel, and he unloaded on Mississippi State.

Powerful Earthquake Strikes Outside Anchorage, Alaska, on Thanksgiving Day

Residents in Alaska were shaken awake on Thanksgiving Day when a powerful 6.0 earthquake rattled southcentral Alaska on Thursday morning. According to the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program , the earthquake struck at 8:11 a.m. local time. It was reportedly centered 26 miles southwest of Willow at a depth of 43 miles.

How Does 'Wake Up Dead Man' Rank in the 'Knives Out' Trilogy?

Wake Up Dead Man , the third “ Knives Out Mystery” from filmmaker Rian Johnson (which begins streaming Dec. 12 on Netflix), finds Daniel Craig ’s suave southern detective, Benoit Blanc, traveling to an upstate New York church to investigate the murder of Monsignor Wicks (Josh Brolin). A fire-and-brimstone preacher who uses fear tactics to keep a tight hold on a small but influential flock, Wicks comes under the scrutiny and eventual ire of Reverend Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor), who’s recently been transferred from a neighboring parish due to an undesirable violent outburst. Duplenticy is the likely suspect to local sheriff Gwendoline (Mila Kunis), and, indeed, all the evidence points to him. But, this being a Knives Out movie, there’s a starry ensemble of potential murderers to contend with, including Andrew Scott as a disgraced sci-fi author; Kerry Washington as a powerful attorney; Jeremy Renner as a lonely divorcée; and Glenn Close and Thomas Haden Church as the frightful church...

ESPN Personality's New Career Move Causes Network to Cut Ties

There had been rumblings about how ESPN would handle one of its star anchors inking a deal to become the face of Netflix Sports. And now her fate has been determined. As first reported by The Athletic , the World Wide Leader has decided to cut ties with Elle Duncan. Her contract, per The Athletic , ends at the end of the year. Netflix reportedly wants her sooner than that, and would showcase her talents to the world when Netflix streams NFL games on Christmas. In any event, Duncan's departure puts an end to the idea that she would juggle her ESPN and Netflix roles. It seems that's no longer the case. Why Duncan Is Leaving ESPN for Netflix The Athletic reports that Duncan's move to Netflix comes with a substantial raise in salary. What's more, her move to Netflix may lighten her workload. At ESPN, Duncan anchored the 6 p.m. edition of SportsCenter alongside Kevin Negandhi. She also helmed the network's women's sports coverage. At Netflix, reports indicate ...

Jeep, Chrysler, And Dodge Owners Are Getting Pop-Up Ads In Their Cars

Almost everyone can relate to feeling fatigued by ads . In the US, buyers are constantly targeted with new and often intrusive marketing methods. Notice how YouTube now displays a pop-up link overlaid on your video, even after the ads have stopped? When did that start? Car buyers are now subject to it too, with ads slowly creeping into cars. Stellantis owners (that's the company that owns Jeep , Dodge, Chrysler, and more) are now seeing pop-up ads in their cars.

Hawaii Tourist Draws Outrage for Sea Turtle Photo

A tourist in Hawaii is drawing outrage after he was caught on video lifting a sea turtle out of the ocean. And it was all just for a photo. The video has gone viral, showing the man stunningly propping up the defenseless wild animal. After the photo, the man drops the sea turtle back and then pats it on the back. According to Hawaii News Now , bystanders were shocked at what they were witnessing, and local authorities were informed about the incident. There is now an investigation underway. His Actions Could Run Afoul of Federal Law Green sea turtles in Hawaii are protected by state and federal laws, falling under the Endangered Species Act. "Knock it off."

Naughty Dog's New Game Gets Release Date Update

The Game Awards 2025 is quickly approaching, and despite being announced at last year's show, it looks like Naughty Dog's latest project after The Last of Us Part 2 will not be releasing anytime soon. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will not be appearing at the awards show on December 11, according to prolific video game journalist Jeff Grubb on X. Additionally, insider Jason Schreier made a comment on Reddit, saying: "Can assure you that Intergalactic is not coming out in 2026." These comments should be given their due skepticism, just like all leaks and rumors, but given Grubb's and Schreier's almost-always-correct track record regarding video game announcements, it seems like Naughty Dog is still deep in development of the title and isn't ready to show anything else yet. Intergalactic 's announcement trailer gave fans a look at the sci-fi setting and the lead character, bounty hunter Jordan Mun, but since then, there has been virtually no ...

Southwest Airlines Passenger's Wild Rant Goes Viral

Every so often, we see an American air traveler become famous for a public meltdown. This weekend, a female Southwest Airlines passenger did the honors. The unidentified woman was waiting for a flight at Denver International Airport Friday when she began screaming at fellow passengers and airline workers, as documented in video shared on TikTok  by user Taylor Graboyes. "POV: You're running off two hours of sleep after a work trip and this is your airport experience," says the caption written over the video. Threats toward staff, belligerent behavior It seems like a flight delay is what set this woman off. We've all been frustrated about late planes before, but there's no excuse for the display this woman put on. "Do you guys feel safe?!" the woman shouted at her fellow travelers, adding in a "get sued, b---h" toward one of the gate workers. “How dare you treat me this way? How dare you?" she continued in an unhinged manner. "W...
