If you would have told me two years ago that I’d be hunting down Star Wars Disney Infinity toys during my time off or pining over my friend’s amiibo collection, I’d tell you to recheck your crystal ball. From the first time I sat down with a Skylanders playset I’ve been laughing off the toys-to-life genre as nothing more than a way to drain kids of their (sometimes) hard-earned allowances....

“While we wait for a timeline and more information, there’s no doubt scammers will be scheming,” the FTC wrote in a blog post.

The new Miami Dolphins quarterback is waiting for some closure, having not had contact from Keim since before Arizona selected Kyler Murray with the first overall pick in last month’s draft. Rosen said it was Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury who broke the news about selecting Murray one year after he was picked as an apparent franchise QB at number 10 overall. He was moved to the Dolphins a day later in exchange for the 62nd pick and a 2020 selection....

The Trail Blazers center called out the ESPN analyst after Portland’s 115-95 win over Denver on Saturday, which evened the first-round series at two games apiece.

How strong was Bush? Strong enough to show an unshakable conviction that Iraq was a just war and a noble cause that needs to reach its rightful conclusion. How weak was he? Weak enough to show no clear path as to how Iraqis will secure their own country and reach their destination. He was aggressive about taking the fight to the terrorists and Islamic extremists. Yet he was defensive about how small his coalition remains in Iraq....

Victor Wanyama has admitted that his future with the Celtics is uncertain but, currently, he is concentration on fulfilling his international call of duty.

(Reuters) - Football’s transfer system is back in focus over a clause in FIFA’s regulations that the players’ union said would not be accepted in any other profession and which a Belgian court suggested could contravene European labour law.

Besides the official gameplay trailer that dropped when E3 actually got underway, we haven’t heard too much about the game since. That silence has been broken with a new behind-the-scenes look at Transformers: Devastation, courtesy of the developers at Platinum Games. Fans of the Transformers franchise are used to playing low quality Transformers games (with the exception of the first two titles from High Moon Studios) and watching even lower quality live action films from Michael Bay, and so they may be skeptical, understandably so, of Transformers: Devastation’s potential to succeed....
