Chris Godwin is BACK and the Buccaneers’ offense is flying

One of the best receivers in the NFL, Chris Godwin is making a point in 2024.

After battling through multiple injuries in 2023, Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin is SO BACK. He leads the NFL in receptions, yards after the catch, and is tied for first in touchdowns while the Buccaneers put together one of the better offenses in the league through six weeks. With Godwin healthy, he’s showing why he’s one of my favorite receivers in the league as...

The first major update for Hades II, which is still in early access, is out now, adding things like a new region, the game’s sixth and final weapon, new pets, native support for Macs with M1 chips, and more.

The big feature looks to be the new region. You might be able to guess what that region is based on the update’s title — “The Olympic Update” — but if you haven’t played the game yet, I’m not going to say anything else. I’m looking forward...

My very brief stint as a race car driver at the F1 Arcade

Confidence was my first mistake. As I plopped down in one of the 83 racing simulators in the new F1 Arcade location in Washington, DC, I told the company’s CEO, Adam Breeden, that I’d raced plenty of times before. I picked Semi-Pro difficulty, even as Breeden told me he recommends most first-time arcade visitors pick something simpler. I adjusted the Vesaro simulator, started the race, and...

If you need a WR these are the guys to look at.

With Davante Adams and Amari Cooper being dealt on Tuesday the number of high-caliber receivers on the open market took a massive hit. As it stands we have two of the best teams in the NFL (Chiefs and Ravens) in dire need of help at receiver between injuries and misjudged depth, with a handful of others potentially looking for a final piece to get them over the top in the playoffs.

Jordan Love is the NFL trick shot king throwing the best passes this season

Nobody is more aggressive (or fun) at QB than Jordan Love.

Jordan Love is such a cool QB.

The Packers’ signal caller plays the game with such a brazen aggression that it makes watching him the coolest experience in the sport. He’s fourth in the NFL in Average Depth of Target at 10.1 per Sumer Sports, and it’s not just that he’s throwing these passes downfield a lot, he’s attacking these coverages that have confused QBs the right way.

If you’re not familiar with Google Flights, you may not realize that you’re not always seeing the cheapest flights in your search results. The default algorithm considers numerous other factors, such as trip length, stops, and travel times. It was, admittedly, easy enough to expand the results and view the full flight list before now, but Google is introducing a change that brings a new “Cheapest” tab that will sort all your flight options based purely...

Airbnb is making it easier for hosts to find someone to manage their Airbnb. The new “Co-Host Network,” which is available starting today, lets you compare co-hosts and work with the co-hosts that you hire right inside the app. Third-party Airbnb management companies are quite common already, but a co-host network directly in the Airbnb app could be a more convenient option for some users.
