After over 20 years of Pittsburgh’s football stadium bearing the namesake of the local ketchup giant, Acrisure – an insurance company out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, bought the naming rights earlier this month. The result is “Acrisure Stadium,” a name that has been less than popular with the locals. The name change came after the 20-year agreement between Kraft Heinz and the Steelers expired prior to last season. While a one-year extension was forged, ultimately another naming rights agreement couldn’t be met....

The New York Giants alerted the NFL that two of the footballs used during their 24-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday may have been deflated to below the league’s standard PSI levels, according to Fox Sports. DEFLATEGATE: Timeline of Patriots saga “The Giants got suspicious of the Pittsburgh Steelers during their game, so after two takeaways, the Giants actually tested two of the footballs on the sidelines to see if they were — dare I use the ‘D’ word — deflated, and two of the balls came in under, so they sent them into the National Football League (and are) still waiting a response from the NFL,” Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported Sunday....

Shazier suffered a serious spinal injury against the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL on December 4, and has been recuperating from a spinal stabilisation surgery two days later.

However, there’s one vital part of Starfield that should draw on Fallout 4 and some of the older Fallout games, instead of The Elder Scrolls 5.

This week, after steadfastly proclaiming his innocence and mounting an exhaustive public defense, the 31-year-old Landis finally gets his day in court. In this case, the court is a large room at Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, Calif., a rather idyllic setting for what has been a nasty and, at times, squalid fight. He and his defense team are squaring off against the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) before an arbitration panel, which is then likely to take another few weeks to rule....

He proved to be very wrong. Quickly word spread through the kitchen that Bora Milutinovic was in the house. Soon a group of busboys and dishwashers had congregated close by and were peering around the corner at our alcove.

Just last summer it seemed that the anti-smoking forces had finally figured out how to keep the tobacco giants from pitching to kids.

Earlier this month the cigarette companies asked a federal court to suspend the new rules, most of which are scheduled to take effect this summer....
