The National Basketball Referees Association openly criticized the league’s decision to dock Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer $25,000 for making “incidental contact” with referee Ben Taylor during his team’s 109-97 loss to the Cavaliers on Saturday.

However, not everyone can afford to buy a brand new phone, and there isn’t the option to get an iPad, laptop or other tech device on contract. The obvious thing to do is buy used tech on ebay, Gumtree and other places. Find a highly-rated seller offering the product you want in great condition and you might save a lot compared to buying the same thing new. However, there’s another option: refurbished devices....

The medical term for bright-red blood in the stool is hematochezia. Whatever the potential cause, it is never normal and should always be investigated by a healthcare provider. This article will address some of the reasons for rectal bleeding and how the cause might be diagnosed and treated. Symptoms of Rectal Bleeding Rectal bleeding is when there is blood being passed out of the anus during a bowel movement on or in the stool, or by itself without stool....

The post itself reads, “All kinds of terrain. One mission. Protect what’s inside our borders. Apply now to become a Border Patrol Agent,” and is fairly innocuous on its own. The intent is seemingly to recruit some new hires to the United States Border Patrol by emphasizing the idea that agents protect US citizens. But in addition to the rousing text, the Dept. of Homeland Security also included a picture of six BP agents on horseback, which then prompted the comparisons to Red Dead Redemption....

Red Dead Redemption’s Liars and Cheats pack adds plenty content to the multiplayer experience, with new playable characters from the game’s story mode, a new Stonghold multiplayer mode, a new weapon called the “Explosive Rifle,” multiplayer poker and liar’s dice, Grand Prix horse racing, seven new gang hideouts, four brand new hunting grounds, 10 new achievements/trophies, and posse scoring and leader boards. That certainly sounds like a lot of new content, and it is....

RELATED: Red Dead Redemption 2: Every Main Character’s Signature Weapon Players are sure to come across a few wild encounters they might not be expecting as they travel through Lemoyne. By reading notes found around the world, players are also able to learn more about the surrounding area. Some encounters might appear normal, while others might appear supernatural. 10 Sisika Is Located In Lemoyne Players might assume Sisika Prison is located on its own, but it is actually located inside the region of Lemoyne....

Anyone who has watched the trailer or seen various online promotional material will notice that the box art is just a rearrangement of those images. Like John Marston in the original, protagonist Arthur Morgan is front and center, pointing a revolver. Beneath Morgan are the silhouettes of, presumably, the other members of the Van der Linde gang; and behind them is a setting sun, perhaps to symbolize the coming end of the era of cowboys and outlaws, a prominent theme in the game....

A video of the Red Dead Redemption 2 mod in action shows Arthur fly through the air, snatching up enemies and throwing them great distances. Super Arthur is also seemingly invulnerable, taking no damage from any enemy bullets the entire time. Super Arthur currently lacks some of Superman’s other abilities, like ice breath and laser eyes, but perhaps those will be added later on. After all, this Red Dead Redemption 2 mod is still a work in progress....

After gathering Wild Feverfew, Red Sage, and Desert Sage for Billy, players are invited to join him and his wife Annabel in their cabin, insisting that John tries out his wife’s tea. Seems wholesome and harmless enough that most players are taken aback when they discover that Annabel West had been dead for years prior to the events of Red Dead Redemption, and that her clearly-widowed husband is under the delusion that she’s still alive, or perhaps refuses to accept the fact that she is dead....

Persistent rain and a forecast for even more inclement weather caused Boston’s game versus the Indians to be postponed until Monday at 6:08 p.m. ET. Game 4, which had originally been slated for Monday, will now be played Tuesday, if necessary. Game 3 of the ALDS was originally scheduled to start at 4:08 p.m. ET on Sunday, but heavy rain drenched Fenway Park, and forecasts calling for a 90 percent chance of rain into the evening hours prompted the decision....

While Redbox did not make an official announcement regarding its discontinuation of video game rentals, the decision quickly became apparent to watchful Redbox users. The official Redbox website has been scrubbed of all mentions of video game rentals, for example. Given that the Redbox website is a primary source for users to rent games, outside of just walking up to a machine, Redbox has clearly already gone through with its decision....

In a November 2021 update, the platform has expanded its video creation tools. Here are the updated features that Reddit video creators can use to take the world by storm. Reddit’s Updated Video Creation Tools In 2020, Reddit acquired the social video creation app, Dubsmash. Known for its innovative video editing features, Dubsmash’s acquisition solidified the foundation for Reddit’s transition from an anonymous online forum into a short-form video sharing platform....

Like the mariner himself, this documentary gets around. Its opening episode takes us to Venice, Genoa, Cairo, Beijing, Kyoto, Istanbul and the Moluccas; by the finale, it will have dropped by 27 countries. There’s a point to all that globe-hopping–to explain the man by explaining his times. Besides visiting the ports and courts in which Columbus hatched his career moves, the series pokes into the remotest crevices of 15th-century existence....

The set up for Donkey Kong Country is simple. All the cast live on Kongo Bongo Island, which Donkey Kong is destined to one day rule. King K. Rool wants to steal the coconut, because whoever possesses it controls the island, and so a typical episode revolves around his latest scheme to steal it. That’s pretty standard stuff for a kid’s cartoon, but the show has a great deal of creativity on display in just how King K....

MORE: NFL All-Muscle Team McCloughan showed up at training camp Thursday with a bandaged left hand. He suffered the injury after getting good news about rookie receiver Josh Doctson’s Achilles injury and punching the closest wall in excitement. “I said, ‘What happened to your hand?’" radio host and former Redskin Cooley recalled asking McCloughan (via Richmond.com ). “He said, when I found out about Doctson - which they thought was going to be much worse, the Doctson injury, apparently it isn’t going to be as bad - I punched the wall....

Washington’s quarterback situation is the main storyline. Colt McCoy (97.7 rating) has started the last two games, but hurt his neck last week and is listed as questionable. Robert Griffin III (86.2 rating) should get the nod if McCoy can’t go, despite not being a favorite of head coach Jay Gruden. The Line: Giants -6.5, Total : 47 Line movement: The Giants opened as 6.5-point favorites in Vegas and stayed there during early wagering....

Amid a deluge of field goals, Minnesota took a comfortable 19-9 win, led by a huge time-of-possession advantage and a defense that got off the field on third down. The kickers combined to go a perfect 7 for 7 on field goal attempts, with four consecutive drives ending in successful kicks in the first half. That sequence left the teams tied 6-6 with just under two minutes left before halftime....

Oh, and congratulations to the Redskins for landing one of the most explosive receivers in the NFL, which is also kind of a big deal. The Redskins agreed to terms with Jackson on a three-year, $24 million contract ($16 million guaranteed) late Tuesday night, giving them a dangerous deep threat for Robert Griffin III (or, you know, Kirk Cousins maybe) and a potentially perfect complement opposite Pierre Garcon, a more physical, short-yardage receiver....
