The signing period is the start of a 72-hour window in which college football prospects can end their recruitment early and sign with their preferred school, meaning they won’t have to wait until National Signing Day in February to decide their collegiate decisions. Plenty of action took place on the first day of the early signing period, which has effectively become the new National Signing Day. It was an exciting day as most of the blue-chip talent announced where they’ll play football for the next 3-4 years of their life, and there was plenty of drama that unfolded in the form of surprise signings, flipped commitments and the unveiling of long-withheld decisions....

For those who received vaccines in their home countries that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the World Health Organization, most universities will require another jab.

Another singleton spotted his profile on popular site Tinder, and was so taken with his efforts to market himself they shared it on Reddit, with the full post available to be seen here....

Throughout the long history of mainline Pokemon games, the majority of players have been able to spot shiny Pokemon upon entering a battle with them due to their non-standard color palette. A distinctive shiny sound and sparkle also play when the creature is encountered, aiding visually impaired players who may be otherwise unable to identify a shiny Pokemon due to conditions such as color blindness. The franchise’s previous open-world title, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, also featured these three aforementioned factors, with players not having to engage in battle with a shiny in order to trigger its distinctive glimmering sound and accompanying sparkles....

As long as Patrick Reed isn’t one of them. Three days on Le Golf National went bad enough for a powerful U.S. team that lost its way off the tee and on the scoreboard.

When coronavirus hit North America in 2020, Comic-Con was cancelled. Tickets for the event were either rolled forward to an expected 2021 Comic-Con, or for those who requested it, refunded completely.
