Minutes later, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock was on the phone with Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, who is good friends with Mayock. When the Vikings got to their sixth-round pick, they took Boehringer with the 180th overall pick. He is the first-ever player from a foreign league to get drafted by an NFL team. “I can’t describe how I feel right now. It’s overwhelming,” Boehringer, who has been an admirer of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, told NFL Network following his selection....

The defensive domination by New England (9-3) was close throughout much of the contest, but the Patriots broke a tie in the third quarter on a Josh Gordon touchdown, then added another score on their next drive and didn’t trail for the remainder of the game.

With a qualification to the next round already secured, Los Blancos still showed no mercy whatsoever on the hapless Swedish side, who were slaughtered to mincemeat from pillar to post.

The draw at Stamford Bridge was Chelsea’s 3rd draw in as many premier league games for the 2009-10 champions who are now 4th in the table, a point behind Tottenham, having played 2 games more than Harry Redknapp’s men.

The start of the second session at the Gabba on Thursday was delayed for more than two hours due to rain.

The viral TikTok in question was posted by user hishamhasan3. Their TikTok shows a recording from inside what appears to be a Walmart distribution center showing warehouse racks full of PS5 consoles.

An exact count of the number of PS5s on the racks isn’t clear, but it’s likely in the hundreds if not a couple thousand....
