Fight Song (Video & Lyrics):

Long ago way down in the jungle
Someone got an inspiration for a tune
And that jingle came from the jungle
Became famous mighty soon
Thrills and chills it sends through you
Hot so hot it burns you too
Though it’s just the growl of the Tiger
It was written in a syncopated way
More and more they yell for the Tiger
Everywhere you go today, they’re shoutin:
Where’s that Tiger?
Where’s that Tiger?
Where’s that Tiger?
Where’s that Tiger?
Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
C-L-E-M-S-O…N!

American rock musician Jack White, also known as the lead singer, guitarist and one-half of the duo, The White Stripes, is set to release his third upcoming solo studio album, Boarding House Reach, on March 23, 2018. Issued by Third Man, Columbia and XL, this is nearly his first solo studio album in about four years!

So far, “Connected by Love” and “Respect Commander” have already been released together earlier this year. The whole project took at least a year to complete since White discussed working on the album last March in an interview with The New Yorker; at the time, White gave us a few clues on what the upcoming album could be like:

“I’m going to try to write songs where I can’t be heard by the next-door neighbor.”

“And I want to write like Michael Jackson would write — instead of writing parts on the instruments or humming melodies, you think of them. To do everything in my head and to do it in silence and use only one room.”

March Madness Sweet 16 Night 1: Who Advanced and Who Was Sent Home

The first four games of the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 are in the books, and just as you might expect there were upsets. If you have been following the tournament, this will not surprise you one bit. Lower-seeded teams won three of the four games. Two of the games came right down to the wire and encompassed the whole madness theme that March is all about. The other two games not so close.


Sister Jean and Loyola-Chicago continue to be the darlings of the tournament

The 11 seed Loyola-Chicago continued its Cinderella run into the elite eight with an exciting 69-68 win over 7 seed Nevada, another team who was on their own Cinderella run. Loyola has become accustomed to close games in this tournament, winning all three by a combined four points.

Nevada started off hot jumping out to a quick 12 point lead. Loyola-Chicago looked antsy and erratic to start the game. Once the Ramblers settled in and began to push the pace, they went on a 20-4 run and led at halftime by four.

Loyola started the second half just where they left off in the first. Nevada withstood the storm and was paced throughout the entire game by Jordan Caroline (19 points). The games final minutes was a frantic back n forth, which culminated by Marcus Towns dagger three-pointer with 6.3 secs left to seal the win for the Ramblers.

Michigan shoots lights out in rout of Texas A&M

Instagram Photo

The 3 seed Michigan Wolverines shed their flare for the dramatics in a lights-out shooting effort that left 7 seed Texas A&M shaking their head.

Michigan utilized a scorching hot first half to put the Aggies away early and never looked back. They could not miss from behind the three-point line, anything they threw up went in. I couldn’t believe it, Texas A&M couldn’t believe it, and I’m pretty sure the Wolverines couldn’t believe it. Michigan shot nearly 60% from behind the arc. The only Aggie that showed up was big man Tyler Davis, but it was not nearly enough to erase the shooting barrage of Michigan.

The Michigan Wolverines will be playing in their third elite eight in the last six years.

Up next: Florida St. on Saturday, March 24th


Kansas St. gets first win ever against Kentucky

It was the battle of the Wildcats and 9 seed Kansas St. proved to be the more resilient cat in a 61-58 win over the Wildcats from Kentucky. Kansas St. was not only fighting against history but a pro-Kentucky crowd that was reminiscent of Rupp Arena.

Kansas St. jumped out on 5 seed Kentucky with a 13-1 run to start the game. Kentucky’s size advantage then began to slow the Kansas St. roll. Dean Wade, Kansas St. best player and leading scorer has been battling a foot injury and was only to play 8 minutes. Kentucky took advantage of the absence of Wade and put pressure on the forwards of Kansas St. and got them in foul trouble. Fouls were a common theme in this game with both teams combining for over 50 total fouls.

Throughout the game, Xavier Sneed led Kansas St., but in the end, it was Barry Brown Jr. who sealed the win with 18 seconds remaining. Brown Jr. ran the shot clock down, drove into the teeth of the Kentucky defense and finished over the outstretched arms of Washington Jr. Kentucky had their chance to tie, but their three-point attempt rimmed out giving Kansas St. the 61-58 win.

Up next: Loyola-Chicago on Saturday, March 24th


Florida St. stifles Gonzaga

Instagram Photo

The 9 seed Florida St. Seminoles took it to 4 seed Gonzaga in a dominant performance. With the win Florida St. heads to the elite eight for the first time since 1993.

The Seminoles size and athleticism was far too much for Gonzaga to handle. Terrance Mann bullied the Zags in the paint all night. Gonzaga just did not have the bodies to keep FSU from scoring in the paint. Gonzaga tried to counter with Johnathan Williams and Hachimura, but neither were efficient enough from the field.

The X-Force In Deadpool 2: A Who’s Who

0

X-Force Deadpool 2

Fox

The new Deadpool 2 trailer showed off the shiny new roster of classic mutant team X-Force. As some characters and actors are still being withheld by Fox it’s hard to know exactly who is who, but we gave it our best shot to tell you the latest we have on them.

Cable

Nathan Summers, better known as Cable (Josh Brolin), is a good representative of the chaotic writing that often occurs in superhero comics. The son of Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey (long story) he is taken into the future after being infected by a biomechanical disease that threatened to transform his entire body to metal. Nathan was raised and trained in a post-apocalyptic wasteland to be the savior of mutants and the world alike and travels through time on a never-ending quest to make the future a better place.

20th Century Fox

Cable is an incredibly powerful psychic but is better known for his outrageously large guns and a metal arm. He was the founder of the X-Force team in the comics, a position which seems to have fallen to Deadpool in the movie. Cable and the mouthy merc have a long history together, from being rivals to teammates to the closest of friends.


Domino

20th Century Fox

Zazie Beetz plays the mutant mercenary Neena Thurman, aka Domino. Her mutant ability is probability manipulation, giving her incredible strokes of luck whenever required. In the comics, she’s easily identifiable by her monochromatic coloring (hence the name) which is reversed with Beetz’s character. Domino has been with X-Force since its inception and is Cable’s staunch ally and sometimes girlfriend.


Jesse Bedlam

20th Century Fox

Terry Crews unidentified character was originally thought to be time-traveler Lucas Bishop or SHIELD agent G. W. Bridge. While no new info has been officially released, sharp-eyed fans can see what appears to be a dossier on X-Force members with a headshot of Crews labeled ‘Bedlam.’

20th Century Fox

Jesse ‘Bedlam’ Aaronson was a lesser known member of the X-Force team who has mostly dropped out of sight post-90’s comics. He can sense and emit bioelectric energy as devastating pulses. He’s also capable of quite a punch, as Crews demonstrates admirably in the trailer.


Shatterstar

Shatterstar is the product of yet more complicated comic storylines. The short version is that he was genetically engineered in an oppressive alternate dimension to be the ultimate gladiator and he fell in with X-Force after coming to their dimension to get the X-Men’s help. Shatterstar is best known for making Marvel history by having the first on-panel kiss with another man (teammate and boyfriend Rictor, who appeared in 2017’s Logan).

20th Century Fox

The only evidence of Shatterstars involvement in Deadpool 2 is a blurry blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the helicopter scene, as well as confirmation by Colossus actor Stefan Kapičić. The characters is so obscured in the scene that the actor is unidentifiable; the role is heavily rumored to have gone to Lewis Tan (Iron Fist).


Unknown #1

20th Century Fox

Another member of X-Force appears briefly is unidentified but clearly portrayed by actor Bill Skarsgård (It). Many fans are tentatively theorizing that he could be the mutants Chamber or Zeitgeist, based upon the face guard attached to his costume.

 


Unknown #2

20th Century Fox

An unidentified mutant portrayed by Japanese-Australian actress Shiori Kutsuna is featured in X-Force’s lineup. Fans are more or less at a loss as to who she is as she doesn’t quite match up with any X-Men or mutants from the comics. The prevailing theory is that she may be Noriko Ashida or ‘Surge’; the Japanese mutant has brightly dyed hair (albeit blue in the comics) and has the same electrical powers that Kutsuna’s character seems to possess.

According to some sources, however, the character may be entirely original. Named ‘Yoki’ or ‘Yoiki’, she also apparently the girlfriend of Negasonic Teenage Warhead. 


Unknown #3?

After some wildly successful test screenings, Fox seems to be adding not only reshoots but an entirely new character cameo appearance. While the most likely addition would be Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine (or simply Jackman as himself), it looks like we’re going to have to just wait and see!


With so many new characters and so little revealed, it seems like the movie can’t come soon enough! Until then, X-Men and Deadpool fans will keep the rumor mill turning until it’s red-hot with our speculations and theories.

Deadpool 2 premieres May 18. It’s directed by David Leitch (John Wick) and stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character.

France Supermarket Hostage Situation: Full Story of Terror Attack

According to reports, French police say that two people have been killed and about a dozen have been wounded in supermarket hostage-taking in southern France town of Trebes.

Reports indicate that the terrorist, a man in his 30s from a Moroccan background who was known to police, is now believed to be alone with one police officer in the supermarket. He is reportedly demanding the release of Salah Abdeslam, the last surviving suspect in the November 2015 ISIS attack in Paris that left 130 dead

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said that all information currently suggests that the shooting inside the Super U supermarket in southern France and the earlier shooting of a police officer “seems to be a terrorist act.”

Anti-terror prosecutors have also taken over the investigation. At this time, it has not been confirmed whether the assailant is connected to ISIS.

via the New York Times:

An armed man entered a Super U market in Trèbes, about 50 miles southeast of Toulouse, claiming to be acting on behalf of the Islamic State, although his connection to the militant group was unclear. The Paris prosecutor’s office, which handles terrorism cases nationwide, said that a terrorism investigation had been opened, but it did not elaborate.

France continues to be on high alert after deadly terrorist attacks struck the country in 2015 and 2016, mainly in Paris and Nice. Although there have not been any large attacks since the one in Nice in July 2016, there have been several smaller-scale assaults by lone individuals, and the French authorities regularly announce that new plots have been thwarted.

The Interior Ministry said on Twitter that a police operation was underway in Trèbes, and Gérard Collomb, the interior minister, said he was heading to the scene. The local prefecture said on Twitter that the area around the Super U in that town had been cordoned off.

Frédéric de Lanouvelle, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told the BFM TV news channel that the gunman was still inside the supermarket, but he said he could not confirm reports about any dead or wounded.

Jaelynn Willey was a student at Great Mills High School in Maryland, before the first-period bell rang, by a shooter later identified as Austin Wyatt Rollins, who later lost his life in a standoff with the school resource officer. Another victim, Desmond Barnes, was shot in the leg but has since been released from the hospital. While early investigators believed that Jaelynn had a previous relationship with Rollins, at this time, the nature of any relationship is unclear.

Said to be a “dedicated” student, she was also said to be a member of the school’s swim teamJaelynn had been one out of a family of nine, with one older and seven younger siblings. Said to be a “dedicated” student, she was also said to be a member of the school’s swim team

In a statement on a Youcaring Fundraiser page, Jaelynn’s family issued the following description of her:

“Jaelynn is an amazing young lady whose peaceful presence and love of her fellow students and family is known throughout her Maryland-based school.”

“It is hard for us not to see her shining, smiling face right now, and to see her light up the room with her presence.”

“Please keep Jaelynn and our family in your prayers.”


NFL Free Agency: Top 4 Free Agents Still Available

0

The NFL offseason has cooled a bit since a lot of the big names have come off the board. Recently some mid-level moves were made. Wide receiver Mike Wallace signed with the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on a 1-year deal, per ESPN Adam Schefter. The New York Giants traded Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per ESPN Adam Schefter. And longtime veteran running back Frank Gore signed with the Dolphins on a 1-year deal, as reported by Miami Herald.

The NFL draft is about a month away (Apr 26, 2018 – Apr 28, 2018), so who are the best available free agents left on the market?

1. Ndamukong Suh

Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was recently released from the Miami Dolphins as they continue to purge their roster. He was about to enter his 4th year with the team after signing a 6-year $114 mil contract in 2015. The Dolphins never fully received the production they had expected from Suh, especially for the amount of money they had invested in him.

Suh has been hampered by not only lack of production, but on the field incidents that have earned him the reputation as a dirty player. At 31 years old he will not come close to getting the money of his previous contract. He can still be a very productive player for a team looking for a big body to clog up the middle in the run game. The downside to Suh at this point in his career is his ability to rush the passer. His sack totals have gone down in each of the last three seasons.

2. Eric Reid

Former San Fransico 49ers safety Eric Reid is the next best available free agent left on the market. Reid has the ability to be a very productive player but has been apart of some very bad teams in San Francisco the past couple of seasons. He is a hard-hitting former first-round pick who is still young at 26 years old.

Eric Reid has been one of the more outspoken players during the anthem protests, and that might be one of the reasons he has not yet been signed. He himself has attributed the protest as a reason for lack of offers from teams. Recently he has walked back some as it pertains to the protest.

3. Jordan Matthews

After spending just one uneventful season in Buffalo Jordan Matthews is the best WR left on the market. With last season being an outlier Matthews was very productive in his first three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. All three seasons with Philadelphia he had 67+ receptions and over 800 yards receiving. His most productive season was in 2015 where he caught 85 passes for 997 yards and 8 TD. Matthews lacks breakaway speed and is best suited as a matchup problem from the slot. If utilized right he can make a significant impact on a team in 2018.

4. Kenny Vaccaro

Saftey Kenny Vaccaro has not fully lived up to the hype for the New Orleans Saints after being selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. The problem Vaccaro had during his time with the Saints was finding a role that highlighted his skills. Vaccaro can play safety, corner, or linebacker depending on the situation. His coverage skills are average at best, but he is a solid tackler in the open field. If he can find the right scheme to fit into Vaccaro can be a defensive playmaker.

Salah Abdeslam

Salah Abdeslam is the lone surviving suspect from the 2015 terror attack in Paris that left 130 dead. In today’s attack in Trebes, France, an unidentified member of ISIS took hostages in a supermarket in an effort to secure Abdeslam’s release.

According to reports, after taking hostages at the Super U, the unknown attacker claimed to be an ISIS soldier and demanded the release of Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving suspect from the 2015 terror attack in Paris that killed 130 people.

The still unidentified attacker killed three people: two in Trebes and one person earlier in nearby Carcassone. According to reports, the mother of the suspect was reportedly brought in by police to try and talk him down. Reports indicate that the suspect said: “This is for Syria, I’ll kill you all.”

According to CNN, Abdeslam’s trial opened in Belgium in February of this year.

Redouane Lakdim, 25, has been identified as the man responsible for killing three people during today’s terror attack in Trebes, France. According to reports, Lakdim opened fired on Friday morning in a Super U supermarket. In addition to the three people who were killed, over a dozen people were also injured in the attack. He was reportedly shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the attack. Lakdim was eventually shot & killed by French police.

Police believe the supermarket shooting was linked to an earlier attack on police officers. Lakdim reportedly shot at four police officers in a drive-by shooting in the French city of Carcassonne. Furthermore, he attempted to ram the officers with his vehicle. Police later found the same car seen at Carcassonne at the Super U in Trebes.

After taking hostages at the Super U, the attacker claimed to be an ISIS soldier and demanded the release of Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving suspect from the 2015 terror attack in Paris that killed 130 people.

Redouane Lakdim killed three people in total – two hostages and one person earlier, in Carcassone. According to reports from French media, the terrorist’s mother was reportedly brought in an effort to talk Lakdim down. Reports indicate that he said: “This is for Syria, I’ll kill you all.”

At the time of the incident, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said that all information suggested that the shooting inside the Super U supermarket in southern France and the earlier shooting of a police officer “seemed to be a terrorist act.”

Furthermore, reports indicate that Lakdim, a Moroccan national, was previously flagged as a potential extremist and was known to French authorities.

France has been the site of many deadly terror attacks since 2015. A state of emergency put in place after the 2015 attacks in Paris was just lifted in October of 2017.

Vivek Ranadivé is an Indian-American businessman, engineer, author, speaker, and philanthropist. Ranadivé is the founder and former CEO of TIBCO, a multimillion-dollar real-time computing company, and of Teknekron Software Systems. For those who have no clue what real-time computing means (like me), via wiki, it’s basically a system that has to respond within a certain time constraint. Like anti-lock breaks that have to maximize deceleration but intermittently stop breaking. Those intermittent stops would utilize the “time constraints” set by real-time computing… The more you know.

Ranadivé is a co-owner and chairman of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. He’s recently been in the news for his uplifting speech following a Kings’ game that was being protested. The protests were in response to a tragic event this past Sunday, where 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot and killed by Sacramento Police despite being unarmed. Ranadivé acknowledged the Kings’ support of the peaceful protests and promised to work towards uniting the community and preventing this type of tragedy from happening again.


Vivek Ranadivé Net Worth As Of 2018: $700 Million

Ranadivé has been co-owner of the Kings since 2013. Let’s take a look back at his career to see where it all began.


Early Years

Ranadivé was born on October 7, 1957 in Bombay, India, the most populous city in the country. He was raised in the city and was the youngest of three children. At 16, Ranadivé was accepted to MIT, but in the 1970s the Indian government did not release foreign currency for citizens to study abroad. Ranadivé talked his way into the office of the Reserve Bank of India and got the required foreign exchange for one-quarter of the tuition.


1980-1985

After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT, he received an MBA from Harvard University in 1983. While at MIT, Ranadivé started his first company, a UNIX consulting company. He also held management and engineering positions with Ford Motor Company, MACOM, Linkabit, and Fortune Systems. In 1985, he received $250,000 in seed capital from Teknekron Corp. to found Teknekron Software Systems.

In 1997, Ranadivé founded TIBCO Software Inc., the real-time computing company we learned a bit about at the top. In 1999, Ranadivé published his first book, The Power of Now. The book detailed emerging trends that were expected to affect all businesses as they progress through the 21st century. He went on to publish two more books around predicting business trends: The Power to Predict and The Two-Second Advantage: How We Succeed by Anticipating the Future–Just Enough.


2010-Present

In 2010, Ranadivé dipped his toes in sports ownership. He became the co-owner and vice chairman of the Golden State Warriors, making him the first person of Indian descent to own an NBA franchise. In 2013, it was announced that Ranadivé had joined a couple others to attempt to purchase the Sacramento Kings. In order for Ranadivé to purchase the Kings, he had to sell his share of the Golden State Warriors. On May 16, 2013, it was announced that the group reached an agreement with the Maloof family to purchase 65% of the Kings for approximately $348 million.

MLB Predictions 2018: Projecting The AL East Standings

With both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees bolstering their already talented rosters, many have already condemned the other three teams in the AL East as being competitively irrelevant. While the Tampa Bay Rays may be depleted from a talent standpoint, both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles may have just enough to become intriguing contenders within their division. As we have seen time and again, the team with the most talent does not always necessarily win the division at the end of the season, whether this is due to untimely injuries or certain players going cold at the wrong time. Regardless of who the consensus favorite is to win the AL East by seasons end, this will still be a brutally tough division that will see the eventual victor be particularly well prepared to go far in the postseason.


5. Tampa Bay Rays

Instagram Photo

Over the past two seasons, the Rays have purged their roster either through trades or during free agency. Most notably, the losses of prolific starting pitchers Alex Cobb (now with the Orioles) and Jake Odorizzi (now with the Twins) has all but confirmed everyone’s belief that the Rays are tanking in an attempt to become postseason contenders in a few years. Sit tight Rays fans, because the next few years are going to be especially brutal as the on the field product will be akin to watching a glorified minor league a ffair.


4. Toronto Blue Jays

Instagram Photo

Last season, the mostly underwhelming Toronto Blue Jays actually possessed some of the most efficient pitchers in the majors. Averaging an ERA of 4.34 (9th in MLB last season) and a WHIP of 1.24 (2nd in MLB last season), the Blue Jays clearly had the arms to stifle opposing offenses but lacked the tenacious bats needed to persevere in their brutal division. If Marcus Stroman can stay healthy (3.09 ERA last season) and J.A. Happ can be the strikeout machine that he was last season (8.79 K/9), the Blue Jays could potentially compete for a coveted Wild Card spot by the end of the season.


3. Baltimore Orioles

Instagram Photo

Before acquiring starting pitchers Andrew Cashner (3.40 ERA last season) and Alex Cobb (3.66 ERA last season), it appeared that the Orioles were doomed to be a team that was once again overly reliant on their impressive power bats to stay afloat in the AL East. Although the Orioles should by no means be the favorites to win their division, they now have an adequate rotation that is backed up by a gifted bullpen that is still elite even with closer Zach Britton out for at least the first half the season. Add to that Manny Machado going into a contract season and the Orioles could potentially shock the baseball world as they did when they won the AL East in 2014.


2. Boston Red Sox

Instagram Photo

One of the worst teams in the majors last season when it came to hitting the baseball out of the ballpark, the addition of consummate power hitter J.D. Martinez (45 HR, 104 RBIs, .690 SLG last season) will help immensely in the Red Sox becoming the deadly scoring unit that they were in 2016. With a starting rotation that is incredibly productive and consistent at the front end, the Red Sox will assuredly make the Yankee’s aspirations of winning the AL East especially difficult.


1. New York Yankees

Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Most individuals will stop there and assume that the offensive production of these two power swinging athletes will be more than enough to carry this team to win a division title. However, first-time manager Aaron Boone will still have to strengthen a starting rotation that was solid but not elite last season. If Michael Pineda can post an ERA below four and Sonny Gray can become the reliable front end starter that the Yankees expected him to be when they traded for him last year, this is a team that could not only win the AL East, but could very well become the clear favorites to win the World Series when all is said and done.
