During today’s Notre Dame-Wake Forest game, ND’s running back Deon McIntosh took a big time hit from Wake Forest linebacker Ja’Cquez Williams. Williams hit McIntosh so hard that the gold paint came flying off the running back’s helmet.

Real tough day for bros who like to dream big. Earlier on Saturday, we learned Caroline Wozniacki got engaged to NBA player David Lee. Now we get the heartbreaking news that Kate Upton married Justin Verlander. Like you had a chance.

After helping the Houston Astros win the World Series, Verlander skipped the celebratory parade to get married to one of the hottest women on the planet. After dating since 2014, Verlander and Upton had their wedding in Italy. Upton said the wedding’s theme would be “fun, party, tequila, and food.” Verlander proposed to Upton right before baseball season began in 2016.

Life can’t get much sweeter than Winning the World Series and then marrying Kate Upton. You can check out photos from the wedding over at TMZ.

Penn State coach James Franklin made sure one of his players kept it classy after the team’s heartbreaking 27-24 loss to Michigan State. Watch as an angry Franklin sprints down the field to chase down one of his player’s who didn’t want to shake hands with his opponents after the game.

Pretty awesome stuff.

Last week, 2,891 previously unreleased government documents regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 were released. Included in the JFK files were conspiracy theories, memos of bounties of Fidel Castro, and sex parties with Frank Sinatra. On Friday night, the U.S. National Archives released 553 previously confidential CIA documents including records that allegations that Lee Harvey Oswald was connected to the CIA were completely untrue.

Nearly 54 years after JFK was killed, previously classified records were made available to the public thanks to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. It has long been rumored that Oswald was working for the CIA when he shot and killed President Kennedy in Dallas, but the CIA wants you to know that those rumors are untrue. In a Central Intelligence Agency memo from Sept. 18, 1975, the CIA report concluded that claims linking Oswald to the CIA “are totally unfounded.”

On November 22, 1963, five days after Kennedy’s assassination, the CIA investigated to see if Oswald was contacted by any government agencies when he returned from the USSR in 1962 and they couldn’t find any evidence or connections. The mission of the investigation was to determine if “Oswald had ever been used by the Agency or been connected with it in any conceivable way.”

Just so we’re all understanding this correctly, let’s recap. The CIA investigated itself and said that the CIA had absolutely no connection to the murderer who killed the President of the United States and the CIA totally did not instruct an assassin to kill John F. Kennedy. In the spirit of the CIA, I investigated myself in the disappearance of half of my 5-year-old nephew’s Halloween candy, and I have determined that I absolutely did not eat all of the quality chocolate bars while he was outside riding his bicycle.

A South Carolina mayor was vindicated when he was found not guilty of drunk driving and he celebrated by dropping a Jay-Z lyric. Greenwood Mayor Wellborn Adams took to Twitter after a jury found him not guilty of driving under the influence and tweeted: “In the words of Jay Z, ‘not guilty, y’all got to feel me.'”

In September of 2015, Adams was arrested at a checkpoint only feet from his home. He was driving home after celebrating his wife’s 40th birthday. State trooper Derek Johnson asked Adams to perform several field sobriety tests such as standing on one leg, but the mayor failed. Adams argued that he failed the test because he tore his Achilles tendon three years ago. Another reason Adams failed the tests is that he’s clumsy, which his wife went on the stand to corroborate. “I don’t want to make fun of him,” Ericka Adams said, laughing. “He’s a genius, but he is clumsy.” She added that her husband regularly trips while jogging.

Trooper Johnson said Adams’ blood-alcohol level was 0.09 percent on a breath test and the legal limit is 0.08. However, the judge threw out the breathalyzer results after Adams’ lawyer said the mayor didn’t have enough time to read the form agreeing to the test.

The cops want to knock him, D.A. wants to box him in, but somehow he beat them charges like Rocky. After about five minutes of deliberation, the six-member jury ruled that Mayor Adams was not guilty of DUI. Adams may have 99 problems, but a DUI ain’t one.

UM’s turnover chain has been the best thing to happen to the Canes this season but it looks like other teams are going to rub it in the U’s face whenever they turn the ball over themselves.

In the third quarter of tonight’s UM-Virginia Tech game, Vtech safety Reggie Floyd picked off UM QB Malik Rozier. While celebrating on the sideline, Floyd was gifted an invisible turnover chain to mock UM’s celebration.

After a turbulent NFL career which was marred by a domestic violence incident, Greg Hardy has turned to MMA. Tonight, the disgraced former NFL star came back from being knocked down to win his first fight with a 32 second knock out in front of a crowd of about 500 people at Rise of a Warrior 21 in Fort Pierce, FL.

Doesn’t seem like Hardy has much of a future in MMA but we’ll see how it goes for him.

Completing the 26.2-mile New York City Marathon is a feat that anyone would be proud to accomplish. But a blind person just competing in the NYC Marathon sounds absolutely impossible. Don’t tell that to Simon Wheatcroft, who will be the first blind person to compete in the 47th running of the cherished race on Sunday. He will attempt to run in the marathon with the help of a device that will guide him through New York City.

Last year 51,394 people finished the 2017 NYC Marathon and Simon hopes to be one of the accomplished runners who make it through the grueling race. Simon, who has a degenerative eye disease and was registered blind at 17, will be utilizing a device to avoid any obstacles. The WearWorks company created a device called Wayband that Simon helped develop. The device consists of an armband that uses GPS and sends small vibrations to inform Simon to veer left or right while he’s running. There is another device that he wears on his chest that has a sensor which informs Simon if there are runners in front of him.

Wheatcroft admitted that developing the technology had some brutal speed bumps along the way and caused him to have several scary accidents. “When you can’t see where you’re running you have to assume the environment is constant,” he told ITV. “That has seen me running into burnt out cars that have been left in the middle of the pavement and injuring myself quite badly.”

Simon isn’t just looking to run the NYC Marathon with the Wayband, he wants it to assist other blind and visually-impaired individuals. “I’m not doing these things just so I can be the first to do this and the first to do that, what I’m interested in is making sure this technology exists to help everybody.”

Simon revealed that he is “excited, nervous and a little scared” for the big marathon and admitted that he will be full of tears when he crosses the finish line. Good luck to Simon and all of the runners in Sunday’s NYC Marathon.

It was only a few weeks ago that LA Beast entertained the masses by pounding a 6-pack of Miller High Life by having a leaf blower blast the beer into his mouth. For any other human being that would be enough ridiculous hijinx to take some time off and reevaluate your priorities in life. Not LA Beast. This man does not rest on his laurels. He is back with an even more stupid feat and this one is absolute fire.

LA Beast AKA Kevin Strahle is no stranger to testing the limits of the human body when it comes to eating foods that would melt the inside of a volcano. In the past few years, he has chugged three bottles of spicy sriracha sauce and eaten 13 habanero peppers in 90 seconds while standing on one foot. His latest challenge is even crazier and hotter.

LA Beast calls it the “9 Million Scoville Spicy Ramen Noodle Challenge.” If you’re familiar with Scoville heat units (SHU), 9 million Scoville is ridiculous. For reference, a habanero ranges between 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale, a Ghost chili pepper is rated at more than 1 million SHUs, and the hottest pepper, the Dragon’s Breath Chili Pepper, packs a throat-melting 2,480,000 Scoville units.

In his latest tour de force, LA Beast eats the hottest ramen noodles and tops it off with Mad Dog 375 Plutonium, which is said to be the hottest sauce on the planet with over 9 million Scoville Units. Others have tempted their fate and tried the Mad Dog 375 Plutonium Challenge and it did not go well for them, but extremely entertaining for anyone who watched them squirm as their entrails were scorched. LA Beast attempted the challenge and all I can say is RIP LA Beast’s taste buds, stomach lining, and butthole. On this day, food was victorious in a major way.

Deontay Wilder said that he was going to kill Bermane Stiverne tonight and he was not lying. Watch as Wilder absolutely brutalized Stiverne with one of the most vicious knockouts in the heavyweight division since Mike Tyson was crushing people back in the day.

My goodness

No one was sure how George St-Pierre was going to perform tonight after a 4-year absence from the sport but the Canadian but all the doubts to rest when he beat Michael Bisping via an RNC choke to become a UFC champion once again.

WHile Bisping put up a good fight, GSP looks like he’s going to be a force in the UFC again.

It appears that Khaleesi is still Khal Drogo’s “Yer Jalan Atthirari Anni (“Moon of My Life” in Dothraki)” and Khal Drogo is still Khaleesi’s “Shekh Ma Shieraki Anni (“My Sun and Stars” in Dothraki).” The Game of Thrones stars had a very, very boozy reunion in London. Emilia Clarke posted a photo of her and Jason Momoa and boy do they look shitfaced, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Clarke captioned the photo:

When life is so good that your sun and stars is in your city…you loose your eyes and gain 5 grins (and gins) where until now they’d only been one… (*grins- there’s always more gins)
@prideofgypsies YOU ALWAYS MOTHER OF DRAGONS MAIN MAN
#lookoutjonsnowdrogosgotyournumber
#happinessishere #hawaiianhakahunkoffunshutsdownlondon

One person who may not be too happy with the super boozy Game of Thrones reunion is Lisa Bonet, who allegedly married the Aquaman actor this week at their home in Topanga, California. Bonet, who had been dating Momoa since 2005, may not have been to pleased with the Mother of Dragons getting so handsy with her man and Daenerys Targaryen calling him a “Hawaiian hunk.”

By all early accounts, Apple had an extremely successful launch of the iPhone X. Despite being the most expensive iPhone of all-time with a price tag of $999 ($1099 at Best Buy), loyal Apple customers came out in droves, something we haven’t particularly seen in the previous iPhone models. Preorders sold out up in an extraordinary 17 minutes. The iPhone X was sold out in 20 top cities: New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Washington, DC, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Charlotte, and Raleigh, North Carolina. Now that all of these customers have the new iPhone X, Apple wants to provide some tips on one of the device’s best features – the OLED screen.

The iPhone X is Apple’s first handset with an OLED display that Apple calls the Super Retina display. “OLED emits light through each pixel, allowing for a thinner display,” Apple explains on their website. “The Super Retina display overcomes challenges with traditional OLED displays with its high brightness, wide color support, and has the best color accuracy in the industry.” The benefits of organic light emitting diode technology include a more vivid picture, darker black colors, higher contrast ratios, higher refresh rates, lower power consumption, better durability, and more lightweight.

However, there are also drawbacks. The iPhone’s new 5.8-inch OLED screen may be susceptible to burn-in. The issue that can arise in an OLED screen means that if you have an image on the screen for too long, you run the risk of it being permanently burned into the screen.

Apple’s explanation:

“If you look at an OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. This is a characteristic of OLED and is normal behavior. With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include “image persistence” or “burn-in,” where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This can occur in more extreme cases such as when the same high contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. We’ve engineered the Super Retina display to be the best in the industry in reducing the effects of OLED “burn-in.”

Apple provided some tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of your new OLED screen while not ruining your new $1,000 phone:

• Update your iPhone X to the latest version of iOS. When a new update is available, you’ll see a prompt to update.
• Use Auto-Brightness to automatically adjust the brightness of your display based on the ambient light in your location. This setting is on by default.
• Set your iPhone X to turn off the display when you aren’t using it. Choosing a shorter time is recommended.
• Avoid displaying static images at maximum brightness for long periods of time. If you have an app that keeps your display on when you aren’t actively using your iPhone X, you can temporarily reduce the brightness level using Control Center.

There you go, now go enjoy your new iPhone X, but don’t break your impressive screen.

Think you’ve got it rough, sitting in line for your new iPhone X and trying to come up with witty Tinder openers? Imagine being alive 70 million years ago when this legit flying monster ruled the skies and swooped down to feast on whatever animal it could fit in its gigantic bill. Paleontologists lead by Buuvei Mainbayar have unearthed this prehistoric beast in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. When this giant flying dinosaur lived, the area was not quite as dry as it is today and would have been flourishing with dinosaurs. Which is perfect for this nightmarish creature because it snacked on baby dinosaurs and would have definitely swallowed you whole.

The stork-like flying dinosaur stood as tall as a giraffe and had the wingspan of a small plane. Researchers say that the dinosaur is in the Azhdarchidae family, which includes Quetzalcoatlus found in Texas in the 1970s. With the wingspan of up to 36-feet, the same as a Cesena plane, these are thought to be the largest flying animals to have ever inhabited the planet. The 18-foot-tall azhdarchids are pterosaurs, which means “winged lizard” in Greek and lived during the late Cretaceous period. The more popular pterodactyl is also a pterosaur, but much smaller with an adult wingspan of about 3 feet and 5 inches. Azhdarchids were carnivores, who not only stalked their prey from the skies but also walked on all fours to feed on baby dinosaurs. Despite being so massive, scientists believe azhdarchids could have thrust themselves into the sky from a standing start in a matter of seconds.

“It might have been this quite robust, formidable predator,” said Mark Witton, an expert on pterosaurs at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. “They seem to be feeding on things on the ground and are generalist in their ability to grab basically whatever they can fit in their beaks.” Witton added, “It’s a really big vertebra, and the only thing comparable is some material from Romania. This is definitely up there with the largest pterosaurs, and there’s nothing like it from Asia so far.”

The first fossil was found in 2006, but the paper on the discovery was not published until last week in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Imagine if one of those monsters crapped on your car? Nevermind the mess, it would probably crack the windshield.

Before today’s Saints-Bucs game, Jameis Winston attempted to get his team fired up by licking his fingers and talking about how hungry he was for a W.

Jameis’ odd pre-game speech got instantly roasted by the Internet.

A.J. Green has had enough of Jalen Ramsey’s bullshit. Before halftime of today’s Bengals-Jags game, Green went apeshit and just started throwing haymakers after Ramsey lightly shoved him after play.

For whatever reason the refs decided to eject Ramsey despite the fact that he was on the receiving end of Green’s beat down
