The Chiefs’ Victory
This year’s Super Bowl was only the second in history to go into overtime. The Chiefs eventually managed to score a narrow win against the San Francisco 49ers, lifting their second consecutive Super Bowl trophy.
A-List Guests
Many A-list stars attended this year’s Super Bowl, but all eyes were on Taylor Swift and her guests Ice Spice, Blake Lively, and Lana Del Rey.
Usher’s Halftime Show
Super Bowl wouldn’t be the same without an amazing halftime show, and Usher pulled all the stops with the medley of his biggest hits alongside several special guests.
Movie Trailers
Trailers for some of the most anticipated movies of the year debuted at the Super Bowl. The Deadpool & Wolverine teaser created most buzz, along with trailers for Wicked and Twisters.
Beyoncé’s Verizon Commercial
Star-studded commercials and the Super Bowl go hand in hand, but none of them created more buzz than Beyoncé’s Verizon ad, especially after she teased her next album Renaissance Act II just minutes later.

Novak Djokovic Makes History
Novak Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open to equal Margaret Court’s all-time record and set several other career milestones along the way. At 36 years and 111 days, he became the oldest US Open men’s singles champion in the Open Era and returned to No. 1 in the ATP rankings.
Coco Gauff’s Triumph
The final match in the women’s singles was also quite groundbreaking, and it saw Coco Gauff win her very first Grand Slam. By doing so, the 19-year-old player became the first American teen to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999.
Iga Swiatek’s Loss
Iga Swiatek came into the US Open as the defending champion, and her loss in the fourth round ensured that the tournament would be won by the first-time US Open champion. Her loss also made it possible for Aryna Sabalenka to climb to No. 1 in the WTA rankings, despite losing to Gauff.
Wozniacki vs. Brady
Caroline Wozniacki and Jennifer Brady both played their first Grand Slam in over two years at Flushing Meadows, and their face-off marked the first third-round match in any major between two players outside the top 300.

Rihanna’s Halftime Show
There was a lot of anticipation leading up to Rihanna’s halftime show, but she managed to exceed our wildest expectations. In addition to performing the medley of her biggest hits, the R&B singer used her performance to announce she’s pregnant with her second child.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Big Win
Super Bowl LVII gave us an epic showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, and the winner was difficult to call until the very last moment. The Chiefs eventually managed to score a 38-35 win, while Patrick Mahomes became the first quarterback since 1999 to win the Super Bowl and the NFL MVP in the same year.
Viral Commercials
From Breaking Bad-inspired ad for Pop Corners to Alicia Silverstone playing her Clueless character in Rakuten’s commercial, this year’s Super Bowl gave us some epic, star-studded commercial, but Tubi’s puzzling 15-second spot was the one that got everyone talking.
Amazing Trailers
Many amazing trailers also premiered during this year’s Super Bowl, giving us a look at some of the most exciting movies of the year, from superhero flicks The Flash and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to highly-anticipated sequels Scream VI and Fast X.

]]>After a lot of anticipation, the NFL bosses announced the headliner of the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show and exceeded our wildest expectations. Rihanna is set to perform at the 2023 Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, and here’s everything we know about her headlining spot so far.
Place & Time
The Super Bowl LVII is taking place on February 12, 2023, and it’s too early to tell who’ll play in the championship since the season just recently kicked off. State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the home of the Arizona Cardinals, will serve as the next year’s venue.
Major Players
Apple Music will serve as the sponsor of the upcoming halftime show, replacing Pepsi after a decade. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is coming back on board as a producer and the strategic entertainment advisors for the live performance, while Hamish Hamilton is returning as the director.
Potential Setlist
As always, the setlist of Rihanna’s upcoming halftime show is a mystery, but she’ll most likely perform a madly of her biggest hits, such as “Umbrella”, “Diamonds”, and “Rude Boy”.
It’s common for headliners to bring some of their frequent collaborators on stage. Drake, Jay-Z, and Eminem are the strongest candidates to join Rihanna, but we’ll have to wait and see because guest performers are usually kept a secret.

Several tennis greats recently announced they’re hanging up their rackets, and here are three major retirements that took the whole world by storm.
Roger Federer
With 20 Grand Slam titles under his belt, Roger Federer is one of the biggest ATP legends of his generation—but all good things must come to an end. After several years plagued with injuries that impacted his performance, the Swiss player announced his decision to step away from tennis in an emotional statement last week.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams is one of the first names that comes to mind when someone mentions tennis. She went down in history as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, winning 23 Grand Slam singles titles, before announcing her retirement. She played her last match at this year’s US Open, bidding farewell to her fans and the game she loves so much.
Ashleigh Barty
Unlike Federer and Williams, Ashleigh Barty isn’t in her 40s and doesn’t have decades of experience under her belt, but that didn’t stop her from announcing her retirement. Two months after winning the Australian Open in her home country, she shocked the tennis world by announcing her exit while she was still the no. 1 WTA player in the world.

Celebrity Ads
From celebrities attending the event to the Rock introducing the teams, Super Bowl LVI was a star-studded affair. Some of the best celebrity moments came during ad breaks, with everyone from Zendaya and Brie Larson to Jim Carrey and Mike Meyers agreeing to take part.
Halftime Show
Super Bowl simply wouldn’t be the same without its halftime show, and this year’s act was an epic celebration of old-school hip-hop. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar were in charge of headlining it, while 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak made amazing guest appearances.
The Ram’s Historic Win
Despite all the music and celebrity bonanza, Super Bowl is, first and foremost, a sports event. This year’s big game was a true treat for the fans of the Los Angeles Rams, who saw their team come out victorious for the first time in over two decades, with wide receiver Cooper Kupp taking the Super Bowl MVP title.

With the Olympic trials coming to an end, these are the athletes everyone’s talking about. Make sure you keep an eye out for these three Team USA Women Olympians.
Simone Biles
Simone Biles has won seven national championships, 19 world titles, and five Olympic gold medals, making her one of the greater gymnasts of all time. Since 2013, she hasn’t lost a single all-around national, world, or Olympic competition, so can she keep up the momentum in Tokyo?
Sydney McLaughlin
This track and field athlete became the youngest Olympian in her sport to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio at just 16. Now the 21-year-old McLaughlin will be competing in the Tokyo Olympics after winning the 400-meter hurdles finals and setting a new record in the process with a time of 51.90.
Lilly King
After winning the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Swimming Trials, Lilly King is heading to the Olympics to try and get her second gold medal. Back in 2016, she won gold in the 100-meter breaststroke with an Olympic-record time of 1:04.93 minutes.

]]>Two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker is reportedly leaving Los Angeles Sparks after 13 years with the franchise. Parker, who is a free agent this offseason, will sign with Chicago Sky, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
The move is expected to be confirmed next week when free agents are able to officially agree to deal with teams.
Shelburne reports that Sparks made a big effort to keep Parker in LA, but the 34-year-old center was more attracted to the prospect of going to her hometown of Chicago. She wanted to spend the twilight years of her career playing in front of her family and friends while also being excited about Sky’s promising roster.
Candace Parker entered the WNBA as Sparks’ No.1 pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft. She immediately put the league on notice, becoming the first, and to this date only, player to win Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in the same season.
Parker followed this up with more accomplishments, both team and individual. She helped the Sparks win the WNBA title in 2016 while earning the second MVP award, five All-Star nods, six All-WNBA selections, and several other honors.
Parker is currently averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game.

]]>Tight end Vance McDonald announced his retirement from professional football on Friday.
The 30-year-old McDonald played eight years in the NFL, suiting up with the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
McDonald released a statement via Steelers’ official website, writing that he and his family “are so grateful for everything NFL football has provided us.”
“It’s always been our dream and mission to leverage the platform given us through the NFL to help serve and uplift others along the way, and we will continue to find ways to serve others as we begin this next chapter of our lives. I am proud to retire a Steeler,” he added.
Vance McDonald was selected in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by San Francisco. He spent four years with the 49ers organization, making 30 starts before being traded to Pittsburgh.
Steelers initially brought in McDonald as a backup tight end, but the University of Rice product quickly emerged as an important player for the team. While he wasn’t too productive in the passing game, he earned respect for his blocking abilities.
McDonald’s best season as a pro came in 2018 when he had 50 catches for 610 yards and four touchdowns. This included a monster 75-yard score in Week 3 against Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With McDonald being out, the Steelers are now short on the position and only have Eric Ebron and Zach Gentry as their TEs ahead of 2021. They will most likely address the issue through draft and free agency.
