Iceland have wildly exceeded expectations by reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, with their spirit, commitment and organisation on the pitch helping them to overcome bigger nations like Austria and England. They have also benefited from the backing of arguably the loudest and most organised set of supporters at the tournament, with Iceland fans’ Viking Who Klapp chant now being replicated by followers of other nations. And Goal has got the lowdown on the chant - which has links to Vikings, rowing and Scottish side Motherwell - by Iceland’s hardcore supporters....

You don’t need me to tell you that going to a live DFS final is a fun time, especially when it’s the Playboy Basketball Championship (PBC) that I participated in on Feb. 7. My weekend at the Playboy Mansion exceeded all expectations, so I’ve decided to tell you more about the amazing experience of participating in a live DFS final than breaking down roster decisions. After all, you’d rather hear about meeting Playboy bunnies and the stars of DFS than my agonizing debate over which point guard to select....

An insider that provides frequent insight into Rockstar, as well as other industry leaks, recently shared some concerning thoughts on Twitter. AccNGT dropped three notes about Grand Theft Auto 6’s development, starting with a message saying “Some people don’t realize how chaotic the development is.” It’s both unclear who AccNGT is referring to by “some people,” whether they mean fans, press, or even those within the company, and just what they mean by “chaotic,” which could mean behind schedule, frantic, or any other number of things....

The official Resistance 3 teaser trailer is just that a tease, featuring live-action footage - but no gameplay. Nonetheless, the announcement is certainly good news - considering both the critical and commercial success of its predecessor. Resistance 3 has been in development for two years and is eying a 2011 release date - meaning Insomniac will have put at least three full years into the game before it hits the shelves....

So why isn’t this miracle herb being used in the United States? The Food and Drug Administration requires a more convincing proof than a billion Chinese. And they may soon have it. A team of Harvard researchers reports that the kudzu extract apparently works on another group of alcoholics-hamsters. The furry rodents are among nature’s most natural drunks; given the choice between alcohol and water, they’ll opt for the booze every time....

In a recent benchmark test of the upcoming Intel Arc “Alchemist,” with results being posted by Twitter user APISAK, there’s a chance that team blue could outshine Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti.

According to a recent report from Tom’s Hardware, which cites a test from Geekbench.com, the upcoming Intel Arc may not be quite as powerful as the Nvidia RTX 3070, which suggests the opposing narrative to what was being bandied around for a while now. While this is just one test, it does appear to be the most recent, and the results suggest that it might not be able to best one of the top-end products from “team green....

Ever since the 1970s, when Army intel agents were caught snooping on antiwar protesters, military intel agencies have operated under tight restrictions inside the United States. But the new provision, approved in closed session last month by the Senate Intelligence Committee, would eliminate one big restriction: that they comply with the Privacy Act, a Watergate-era law that requires government officials seeking information from a resident to disclose who they are and what they want the information for....

“Oh yeah, it’s happened before,” New York’s star slugger said. Throwing at a batter for hitting home runs? That’s what many think Urena did, including Mets broadcaster and former big league first baseman Keith Hernandez, who defended Urena’s plunking of Atlanta’s breakout rookie. Mostly, though, players and coaches around the game seem to want nothing to do with this murky unwritten rule. The Miami right-hander sparked a benches-clearing fracas in Atlanta when he drilled Acuna in the elbow with the first pitch of a game Wednesday....
