Ron Rivera Presser: Cole Holcomb will get a shot at MLB, but we need more veteran LBs on the depth chart – Hogs Haven
Posted: May 7, 2022 at 7:19 pm
Rookies:
Well, there was a lot of good things. I mean we were real positive, got an opportunity to watch the guys really go through their early paces. Theres a couple things that really stood out that was really impressive. You know, we got an opportunity to just watch the whole group. [WR] Jahan [Dotson] looks as solid as advertised. We were real pleased to see what we saw from him. I thought he moved around really well. [DT Phidarian Mathis] Phil looked solid, big stout guy on the inside. That was really good. We saw [RB] [Brian] Robinson run the ball, a big physical body. When you see him out here its impressive. It really is. He moves well for a big guy. Hes got good lateral quickness, good footwork. That was really good to see. [S] Percy [Butler] looked fast, big, long and can move. That was really good. Im trying to remember all of our picks. [QB] Sam [Howell] threw the ball very well. Hes got good footwork and a strong arm. That was very evident. [TE Cole Turner], when you see him out here moving, he hes a big body, moves well and presents a good target. Like we talked about, hes a guy thats gonna help us. Then [G] Chris [Paul] looked good. Hes a big physical guy, good size body. [CB] Christian [Holmes] looked good. For a big guy you look at him, youre gonna think this guys a safety, but he moves well for a corner. Hes got some things to learn obviously, but hes a big body, so we are pleased for the most part. And then some of the UDFAs that we signed, we thought moved around well. Its an exciting group. Its still early and it is the underwear Olympics, so we just try to temper all that.
I think hell be okay. I really do. I think he and [QB] Cole Kelley, the other quarterback we brought in are two guys that we did pay a lot of attention to. Both guys are really football smart, football savvy guys. And I dont think either one of em is gonna have a huge learning curve. But I think theyre young guys that arent gonna have any timeframe where they have to hurry to get anything done. We feel just good about who they are.
Well, one of the things about him is his athleticism and its something we wanted to see just how it translates to our game. He was a little bit of a long shot, but bringing a guy in, it doesnt cost anything to take a look at him and just kind of see where he is and if there is a possibility for him to fit. But, the biggest thing that they really talked about was his athleticism and his athletic ability.
He seems to be pretty easy going for the most part. And so there seems to not be many issues about fit. Hes a stout, physical guy and just from watching him do the drills this morning with [Offensive Line] Coach [John Matsko], I think hes a guy thats got an opportunity to help us.
Well, based on what Ive seen as far as the way hes practiced during the OTA periods, hes looking good, hes moving fast. Were doing a lot of walkthrough stuff right now, a lot of formation recognition and adjustment and listening to him communicate and talk out there has been good. Again, right now all were really looking for is that were going in the right direction and thats probably been one of the biggest pluses right now.
First of all, it was athleticism more so than anything else. Thats when you look at Chris, Paul, you look at Christian and you see guys that are athletic to begin with. For a big guy, Chris Paul moves very well, very exciting. When you look at Christian, you sit there and think to yourself, Man, hes built like a safety. I mean, you guys see him out here moving around, but hes a guy that can run. Hes got a quick twitch, hes a physical guy. I also think that in both cases, those guys were smart football players. They really were. They understood the game, and they knew how to do things. I think looking at these guys, they both know the game just based on what youve seen, and they are athletic. So, that gives you some hope that these guys have a chance and theyll be there to help us.

Paul Bettany Caused An Embarrassing Situation For Tom Hanks In The Da Vinci Code – /Film
Posted: at 7:19 pm
One of the appeals of Dan Brown's protagonist Robert Langdon, a man Tom Hanks has perfectly embodied even as subsequent films have languished, is how out of place he often appears in the conspiracies he's caught up in. He's no Indiana Jones, and throughout "The Da Vinci Code," that fact is often nudged. Especially when Langdon is getting his a** kicked. In one such scene, Silas ambushes him, shoves him into a bookshelf, and sucker-punches him in the gut. But as Paul Bettany told Esquire, he got a completely unexpected (and perhaps involuntary) reaction from his costar: a "gargantuan fart." Bettany continued:
"I was like, 'Holy s***, what am I going to do? It's Tom Hanks, the biggest star in the world, and I've just made him fart.' He looked at me and I looked at him. And he went, 'What's wrong with you?'"
What does one do when they've punched and made fart a man who has portrayed such adored figures as Forrest Gump, Woody, and Mister Rogers? It's probably a special kind of embarrassment being admonished by Hanks, one akin to the displeasure in receiving from authority figures from adolescence (math teacher, coach, relative) who could actually move you with their disappointment. We can try and imagine Bettany's mortification, but I imagine we fall short.
Although, I'm curious if the take that was used was the same one that elicited the epic fart. We've all heard stories of actors improvising and riffing off one another to unlock a special performance from inside the other, but this was probably way too literal. Hopefully it's all water under the bridgefor the two actors or more accurately, past gas!

Everything to Know About Paul Rudd’s Wife Julie Yaeger – Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Posted: at 7:19 pm
Paul Ruddhas earned the distinction of being one of the most likable stars in Hollywood. Not only does he have a knack for choosing films thatstand the test of time, but he is known for being unproblematic and drama-free. Rudd avoids the scandalous headlines that plague many of his fellow actors. And there could be a very simple reason for that. Rudd has long been happily married tohis wife, Julie Yaeger, who has a thriving career of her own. Together, Rudd and Yaeger remain balanced in an industry known for being especially brutal on relationships.
Paul Rudd was born in 1969. He went on to study acting at several institutions of higher learning, including the University of Kansas and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, according toIMDb. After completing his training, he worked a variety of odd jobs, including becoming a DJ at bar mitzvahs. But in the early 90s, he started landing acting roles, making his big Hollywood breakthrough.
Rudds early roles included parts inClueless, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, The Locusts, Overnight Delivery, andThe Cider House Rules. He became known for his affable, easygoing demeanor, but didnt hesitate to take on dramatic roles as well. By the early 2000s, Rudd had appeared in some of the biggest comedy films of the decade, includingAnchorman: The Legend of Ron BurgundyandKnocked Up. His role asAnt-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universefurther cemented his place as a Hollywood icon.
As Rudd was beginning his ascent to stardom, he met Julie Yaeger, a publicist who also worked as a screenwriter. Rudd later admitted to Marie Claire that Yaeger was the first person he met in New York, and that her maturity impressed him. As Rudd toldCosmopolitan, I was really taken with who she was and how she had overcome and was in the process of overcoming adversities in her life.
Yaeger and Rudd started dating, and in 2003, the two lovebirds tied the knot. Even as Rudd made it big in Hollywood, Yaeger continued her own high-powered career evenworking with her husbandin 2017 on the filmFun Mom Dinner, which Yaeger wrote and Rudd executive-produced.
Rudd and Yaeger have two children: a son, Jack, and a daughter, Darby. The family prefers to remain out of the spotlight, with Rudd shunning most forms of social media. Still, fans can sometimes catch Rudd and Yaeger together when they walk red carpets at his film premieres. Rudd also doesnt hesitate to praise his family when he sits down for interviews, making it clear that he is the family man that he often plays in movies.
Rudd and Yaeger are still happily together after many years. And by all accounts, the two are doing better than ever. Rudd told Elle in 2011 that he and Yaeger are a very normal couple. As reported byParade, Rudd said, I dont think Im going to sell a lot of tabloids. My wife and I have been together for 16 years. My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.
For Rudd, being a Hollywood star is a tiny part of his identity. As Rudd toldPeople Magazinein 2021, when I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like Imthat.I just hang out with my family when Im not working. Thats what I kind of like the most.

Graduates From Youth Program Get Free Suits To Dress For Success – CBS Boston
Posted: at 7:19 pm
FRAMINGHAM (CBS) A look of approval in the mirror. For Framingham High School senior Kevin Silva, its a big moment.
Im speechless because Ive never actually owned a suit. This store just being overwhelming with choices, said Silva.
Hes one of eight graduates of the Ron Burton Training Village getting outfitted at Miltons for a free new suit as part of the programs Dress for Success event, now in its 13th year.
Im going to cherish this suit. Im going to take care of it. Any chance to use it, I will, said Silva.
Who these people are, and who theyve become, and how theyve grown is really the most important thing. But when they look good as well that just really completes the package and thats all were really trying to do, said Miltons President Dana Katz.
Many in the group are also recipients of full scholarships from the youth organization, including Stonehill College freshman Luis Mendes.
A full ride just meant everything just because it meant I could be closer to my family and get the education that I wanted. It just means everything to me, said Mendes.
WBZ-TVs own Paul Burton was on hand Thursday to help with style advice, and talk about his dads legacy.
When my Dad went to college, they had a Ron Burton day for him because he didnt have the money to buy luggage and clothes to go to Northwestern. So for Dana to hear that story and keep that tradition alive means a lot to our family and just in memory of my Dad, said Burton.
In addition to the suit, the guys are getting all the accessories to go along with it- shoes, socks, tie, belt. Everything they need to help make a future internship or job interview a successful one.
Theyll have the entire outfit they need to look good, to feel good, and we know it will make a difference, said Katz.

Road to Stanleytown: Red Wings’ Russian Five proving critics wrong – Detroit Free Press
Posted: at 7:19 pm
Gene Myers| Special to Detroit Free Press
Russian 5 movie: Relive how the Red Wings came to
"The Russian Five" will be shown on PBS (Channel 56) in Detroit at 9 p.m. Dec. 17, 2020. It tells the story of how 5 Soviets became Detroit Red Wings.
Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press
In the spring of 1997 a quarter-century ago the Detroit Red Wings embarked on their quest to end a 42-year Stanley Cup drought.
The Free Press has commemorated that historic quest with a new book: Stanleytown: The Inside Story of How the Stanley Cup Returned to the Motor City After 41 Frustrating Seasons.
The backstory: After the Red Wings 5-3 victory in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Mighty Ducks had one day to devise a strategy to send the series back to Detroit. To sit here right now and say, Weve got to win four games against Detroit is a little bit overwhelming, Ducks sniper Paul Kariya said. Can we win one game? Yes, we can. Only two teams in NHL history had rallied from three-games-to-none deficits: the New York Islanders in 1975 (against Pittsburgh) and the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942 (against Detroit in the Stanley Cup Finals). You have to take it one game at a time, Ducks coach Ron Wilson said. Its pretty bleak especially the way the Red Wings are playing. The other hottest topics on the eve of Game 4 were the stellar play of the Russian Five and the penalties in Game 3.
[Red Wings face roster decisions: Debating who stays and who goes in 2022]
Russian revision: With four goals in Game 3, the Russian Five continued to dominate the Ducks. That prompted Keith Gave to write in the Free Press: Just as important, their impressive performance in these playoffs helps to bury the hideous myth about Russian players in the NHL. Jimmy Devellano, senior vice president for the Wings, spelled it out: Im so sick and tired of people saying the Russians dont get up for the playoffs, that they dont know the meaning of the Stanley Cup. Bull. Theyve been through the wars, these guys. They know how to win, and theyre here to win the Cup. Gave continued: Such suggestions are enough to make a Papa Bear growl, but Slava Fetisov the elder statesman of the Russian Unit and former Red Army captain just shrugs it off as more North American bigotry his comrades have to overcome. Gave pointed outtheyre great targets for abuse in enemy arenas. As in St. Louis, the fans at the Pond in Anaheim chanted U-S-A! U-S-A! when the Russian Five took center stage. I hope they keep yelling U-S-A! U-S-A! like that, Devellano said. They seem to really get a burr up their bottom. To which Vladimir Konstantinov couldnt dispute. Yes, we hear it, he said. What are they cheering that for? We just try to score a goal right away, and get more attention from the stands. In Game 3, Igor Larionov scored 10 seconds after the chant started. In St. Louis, Slava Kozlov scored his first goal during the chant. With two goals in Game 3, Kozlov had five goals in the past five games, which Konstantinov was quick to point out disproved the notion about Russians in the playoffs. See how Slava is playing now compared to the regular season, he said. Thats the best example. He raises his level several steps up.
[Russian Five excerpt: How Sergei Fedorov escaped USSR for Red Wings]
In the box: In Game 3, the Ducks built a 2-0 lead by scoring on 5-on-3 power plays. The Wings got back in the game with a pair of power-play goals. That prompted Wilson to criticize his charges: We didnt take marginal penalties; we took stupid penalties. If you take a bad penalty, like a needless one, a feel-good one when you punch a guy in the back of the head when youre angry, the other team always scores. Detroit lost their composure for five minutes, and it was 2-0 for us. And then they regained their composure and that was experience on their part. The Ducks first goal followed a high-sticking penalty on goalie Mike Vernon, who also picked up a 10-minute misconduct for sharing choice words with referee Bill McCreary. That prompted Darren McCarty to say: Theres a few magic words out there, and we all possess them, weve all said them. Hes a pretty feisty guy. Hes a leader in the dressing room, and he was just showing his dissatisfaction and obviously, McCreary wasnt going to take his lip. Vernies as cool as they come. Nothing really rattles him. Thats about as hot as he gets, but he just blows it off and gets it done.
GAME 3: Mighty sweet comeback victoryputs Wings up 3-0
GAME 2: Slava Kozlov ends classic marathon in 3OT
GAME 1: Surprise hero lifts Wings over Ducks in OT
Worth noting: Grinder Joe Kocur was ruled out for Game 4 because of back spasms, suffered when he lost an edge and slid back-first into the boards. … The Ducks hadnt lost consecutive games at the Pond since early January. … Wilson credited Larionov as the reason Sergei Fedorov and Kozlov were playing their best hockey of the season. Hes like the hub on their wheel; hes the computer chip for them, Wilson said. Igor has made Fedorov a better player again. Hes a master at taking people out of position like a pied piper and getting the puck to the open man.
Off the ice: The Los Angeles Times had a little something different aboutNew Zealand actress Lucy Lawless, whose Uncle Sam costume revealed far too much cleavage as she belted out the final notes of the national anthem before Game 3. The Times fishing report noted there was a school of 10,000 pargo near Cerralvo Island and that a certain warrior princess had muscled in a 44-pounder.
Famous last words: Sniper Teemu Selanne after Anaheim blew the series first two-goal lead: I said to myself when we go up, 2-0, we have a good chance to win if we just play smart. We didnt do that. There are 20 guys who didnt finish the job. Im disappointed.
Relive the glory:The Free Press has crafted a 208-page, full-color, hardcover collectors book with fresh insights and dynamic storytelling about the 1996-97 Wings.

Scientists: It’s As If Something With Huge "Fingernails" Scratched the Surface of Mars – Futurism
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Are there monsters on Mars yet?Tantalizing Tidbits
Scientists at the European Space Agency are getting all mythological on us.
The ESA posted new photos of Mars surface features captured by the Mars Express this week, describing them as looking as if someone has raked their fingernails across the surface of the Red Planet, gouging out lengthy trenches as they did so.
Rather than a monsters creation, though, the ESA said in a press releasethat the region, called Tantalus Fossae, was created when the volcano they flank rose in altitude.
Each trench formed as two parallel faults opened up, causing the rock between to drop down into the resulting void, the ESA presser said.
They released photos of the trenches and the nearly-12-mile-wide crater they cross on Twitter, shown below. The region was named for Zeus son Tantalus, who betrayed the gods and was forced to endure punishment in the underworld.
The ESA Mars Express has been orbiting Mars since 2003 and captured a lot of info about the Red Planet just as billionaires like SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk plan to colonize it.
With NASAs Artemis plans, which should see the first person of color and the first woman on the Moon before moving on to Mars, we may soon be learning about these topographical features up close and personal, if it isnt yanked away like Tantalus apples and water were during his punishment.

Scientists Reveal Why Man Died After Receiving Pig Heart Transplant – Futurism
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Image by Getty Images/Futurism
A man who successfully lived for two months after doctors replaced his failing heart with a genetically altered onemay have ultimately died from virus pigs not humans are known to carry, The New York Times reports.
Its an unfortunate predicament, underlining the complex and little-understood risks involved in transplanting animal organs into the human body.
Its unclear if the virus was the direct cause of the patients death in March, but it may have played a contributing role, according to Bartley Griffith, a transplant surgeon at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who recently gave a presentation on the subject.
Surgeons had initially screened the pig heart for the virus called porcine cytomegalovirus (CMV), according to the NYT,but the tests arent able to pick up on latent infections, only active ones.
Despite Griffiths passing, scientists were elated at how long his body went without rejecting the pig heart, according to the newspaper.
Twenty days after the procedure, a test found low levels of porcine CMV, according to Griffin.But then Bennets condition deteriorated quickly, with subsequent tests confirming spiking levels of the virus.
At Day 45, he looked really funky, Griffith told the NYT. Something happened. He looked sick. He lost his attention. He wouldnt talk to us. He lay in bed breathing hard, and was kind of warm.
Griffin also said that porcine CMV may have been the actor it could have been the actor that set this all off.
The incident is indicative of the inherent risks of such a procedure and the fact that a lot of work still has to be done before we can start solving the organ crisis by harvesting organs from animals.

Amazing Footage Shows Inside of Space Station When It Fires Its Mighty Thrusters – Futurism
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Looks like fun!Space Ride
Charming footage from from the interior of the International Space Station shows what happens to the astronauts inside when the ship fires its thrusters.
Thats cool on its own, but its also a terrific demonstration of Newtonian physics. Case in point, instead of the astronauts moving inside the ISS, the video that the European Space Agency posted to YouTube shows the ISS moving while the crew remain suspended in microgravity.
During the maneuver, the astronauts inside the station keep flying at the same speed and direction, the ESA said of the 1-minute clip. While it seems like the astronauts are moving inside the station, it is in fact the ISS that gets the boost and is moving around them.
The maneuver is especially exciting because its astronaut Matthias Maures first mission to the space station, and the Expedition 66 crew line up behind him to tuck their knees in while the ISS moves, making for a super slow kind of off world carnival ride (and, its worth noting, the ESA says the video was also sped up 8 times.)
The video may also lend credence to interpretation that Russias head cosmonaut left Roscosmos because there wasnt enough work for him to do on the ISS. If crew on various teams have time to float around for fun, its reasonable to suspect theyre working overtime to fill up their downtime.
Regardless of the cultural implications of this clip such as the fact that terrestrial warfare is affecting even life in space it still puts a smile on your face. Its wholesome to know that wherever we are, the basic human experience of creating fun is unlikely to disappear.

Warren Buffett Says He Wouldn’t Buy All the Bitcoin in the World for $25 – Futurism
Posted: at 7:18 pm
Why'd he switch up now?Simon Says
Warren Buffett is one of the worlds wealthiest people and the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, one of the largest and richest holding companies in the world. Youd think his financial advice would resonate with a lot folks, but his latest remarks on cryptocurrency arent likely to inspire much love among its fans.
A new CNBCinterview published Saturday painted Warren as solidly anti-Bitcoin. The investor said he couldnt be bothered to invest in the asset,even if it was offered to him for next to nothing.
If you told me you own all of the bitcoin in the world and you offered it to me for $25 I wouldnt take it because what would I do with it? Buffett told the news outlet. Id have to sell it back to you one way or another. It isnt going to do anything. The apartments are going to produce rent and the farms are going to produce food.
Warren has been outspoken about his dislike for Bitcoin in the past, but that doesnt seem to be stopping NFT and crypto users from pouring their hard-earned cash into an asset class with an uncertain future and which somewhat regularly sees excruciatingly large losses.
Interestingly, Buffetts latest remarks dont quite match up with his own investment history. Back in June of 2021, he invested $500 million of Berkshire Hathaways cash into a Bitcoin-friendly bank.
Thats a lot of money for anybody to throw at an investment with the remotest chance of backfiring what happened to change Buffetts mind in the last year, and why arent other investors paying attention?
