Other contributions range from lore-adherent tributes to harebrained crossovers. Because variety is the spice of life, here's a faithful recreation of the Hellscream family placed next to Dr Strange, Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man. I'm personally a huge fan of both.
Whether it's housing communities recreating Howl's Moving Castle from a bunch of scraps or ingenious costumes in the recently fan-revived City of Heroes, I'm always super into seeing just how creative MMORPG players can get, and Azeroth continually fails to disappoint.
The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro struggled in 2023 after being ranked within the top 50 in the last two seasons. Heyward sustained a groin injury in Week 1 and struggled to find his stride after recovering from surgery and a stint on IR. His two sacks were the lowest in his career since 2012, and his 33 combined tackles were the lowest since 2016.
Known for his contributions off the field, Dawkins has emerged as a critical piece in the Bills offense. In 2023, Dawkins finished with the fourth-highest pass block win rate last season and allowed just a 6.9% pressure rate, which was the third-lowest among left tackles, per Next Gen Stats. After cementing himself as a regular starter, he earned his third consecutive Pro Bowl honor and signed a three-year contract to keep him with Bills Mafia through 2026.
Love earned his first ever Pro Bowl nod and spot in the Top 100 after a career-high four interceptions and 85 solo tackles in his first season with the Seahawks. His best performance of the season included two interceptions and eight tackles in a critical Week 15 win over a struggling Eagles team. Now with Aden Durde at the helm as Seattle's new DC, it will be interesting to see how Love continues to improve.
Smith posted 93 combined tackles and a career-best six QB hits in 2023. He also finished with three sacks, which all took place in Week 4 win over the Panthers. With six Pro Bowls and an All-Pro honor under his belt, the 35-year-old has cemented himself as one of the best safeties in the league and remains so as he enters his 13th season with the Vikings.

The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) today announces its return to Las Vegas, with a variety of player-centric activations throughout the opening weekend of NBA Summer League, giving basketball enthusiasts unparalleled access to a day-in-the-life of their favorite players, off the court.
NEW YORK, NY, February 8, 2024 - The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), Jakob Poeltl, and Gabe Danon are teaming up to relaunch "Poeltl," a daily online guessing game that tests fans knowledge of their favorite NBPA members. First launched in February 2022 by founder Gabe Danon and named after current NBPA member Jakob Poeltl, Poeltl was inspired by the impact of popular daily online puzzle games and gives users eight (8) attempts to guess a mystery NBA player of the day.
It was not until the threat of a strike in 1957 and Cousy meeting with AFL-CIO officials over possible union affiliation, that the NBA entered into discussions with the NBPA. In April of 1957, the NBA Board of Governors formally recognized the NBPA and agreed to their requests:
The great Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati succeeded Heinsohn as President in 1965 and announced at the 1967 All-Star Game that the players would seek new terms; specifically, they would ask the owners to be paid for exhibition games, to reduce the number of exhibition games from 15 to 10, and to upgrade the pension plan. The players won the following agreement:
In 1983, the players agreed to a landmark four-year collective bargaining agreement. The lynchpin of the deal was a revenue sharing/salary cap concept, under which the owners would guarantee the players a percentage of every dollar they earned, and the players in return agreed that each team would be subject to a soft cap on the amount of salaries it would pay to the players. The owners also provided:
Michele Roberts was re-elected as Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) at the 2018 annual summer meeting of the Board of NBA Player Representatives. The Board of Player Representatives and the Executive Committee voted unanimously to approve another 4-year term for Ms. Roberts.
If a team has fewer than seven players because one or more players has deliberately left the field of play, the referee is not obliged to stop play and the advantage may be played, but the match must not resume after the ball has gone out of play if a team does not have the minimum number of seven players.
If the competition rules state that all players and substitutes must be named before kick-off and a team starts a match with fewer than eleven players, only the players and substitutes named on the team list may take part in the match upon their arrival.
*Where both teams make a substitution at the same time, this will count as a used substitution opportunity for both teams. Multiple substitutions (and requests) by a team during the same stoppage in play count as one used substitution opportunity.
The substitution is completed when a substitute enters the field of play; from that moment, the replaced player becomes a substituted player and the substitute becomes a player and can take any restart.
If a substitution is made during the half-time interval or before extra time, the procedure must be completed before the match restarts. If the referee is not informed, the named substitute may continue to play, no disciplinary action is taken and the matter is reported to the appropriate authorities.
cautions both players when the ball is next out of play but not if the change occurred during half-time (including half-time of extra time) or the period between the end of the match and the start of extra time and/or penalties (penalty shoot-out)
The coach and other officials named on the team list (with the exception of players or substitutes) are team officials. Anyone not named on the team list as a player, substitute or team official is an outside agent.
If a ball is going into the goal and the interference does not prevent a defending player playing the ball, the goal is awarded if the ball enters the goal (even if contact was made with the ball) unless the interference was by the attacking team.
If, after a goal is scored and play has restarted, the referee realises an extra person was on the field of play when the goal was scored, the goal cannot be disallowed. If the extra person is still on the field the referee must:
Each team must have a captain on the field of play who wears an identifying armband. The team captain has no special status or privileges but has a degree of responsibility for the behaviour of the team.
