data-mm-id=”_pd1854yia”>The Marvel Cinematic Universe is arguably one of the best at promoting its films, which is proven by the fact that the MCU took over cinema since its creation in 2008 with the highly popular movie, "Iron Man." From appearing at San Diego Comic-Con to thousands of fans attempting to see new trailer in the famous Hall H, to sending stars on world-trekking promotional tours, Marvel has become a juggernaut of marketing that leads to fans going crazy for any chance to get closer to the films they produce.This is especially true when a movie is so hyped up and excitable, which leads to Marvel pulling out all stops to ensure its success. That has especially been true for the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine," which sees Ryan Reynolds return as the "Merc with a mouth." Joining Reynolds is the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, which is a casting that fans have been begging for since the fan-favorite actor stepped away from the character after "Logan" was released in 2017. Naturally, the announcement of Jackman's return spurned plenty of opportunities for Marvel to incorporate Wolverine into the crass and silliness of Deadpool's humor. That has especially been true for the latest merch for the film, which features an Xbox controller that has been dubbed the "Cheeky" controller. Xbox fans desperately want Microsoft to sell that Deadpool ass controller instead of locking it behind a Twitter competition. https://t.co/nxQgXo4Fuy pic.twitter.com/Cg90DlzUPj— IGN (@IGN) July 19, 2024Based on the very viral trailer that showcased Deadpool smacking his behind, Microsoft decided to roll out a controller that is emblazoned with a backside and Deadpool's red costume. Though fans have wanted to buy the controller, it is only available to secure via a competition on X.Now, Marvel has taken things to an even more absurd level, adding a version dedicated to Wolverine.After the reveal of the Deadpool Cheeky Xbox Controller comes another with Wolverine's very own rugged, Adamantium-clad style. 🎮 🎂 #DeadpoolAndWolverine pic.twitter.com/TAoeeYMq6S— IGN (@IGN) July 22, 2024Wolverine has now received his own dedicated "Cheeky" controller, which is much like the Deadpool version, only this time decorated like the comic-accurate yellow costume that has been highlighted in trailers. Much like the Deadpool controller, this Wolverine version can only be obtained by finding a post on social media for the controllers, liking it, and commenting with the #MicrosoftCheekySweepstakes hashtag. Marvel has certainly produced some odd marketing ploys in past years, but producing controllers featuring the butts of popular superheroes is as absurd as they can get. This is also following the announcement of the "Deadpool & Wolverine" popcorn bucket that features Wolverine's head and his mouth open where fans can reach in. The "Deadpool" movies have all been Rated R for highly adult humor, action, and more. With these new "Cheeky" controllers, it appears Marvel has allowed those ideals to be showcased in "Deadpool & Wolverine" which comes out on July 26.

data-mm-id=”_nje84b0vq”>The Pelicans have had an exceptionally disappointing season thus far; belittled by injuries left and right and missing their 2019 No. 1 overall pick in Zion Williamson, New Orleans currently sits at 6-22 on the season. There have been bright spots, most notably in the form of Brandon Ingram, but overall the season has not been what they hoped. As such, they appear to be planning on selling at the trade deadline. Marc Stein reported on Tuesday that the Pelicans would be willing to part with All-Star guard Jrue Holiday after making him unavailable all summer in trade discussions. As Stein notes, it would take a hefty price to pry the 29-year-old PG away from New Orleans, but discussions will be had. Here are three teams that are best suited for Holiday's tale…

data-mm-id=”_zmo31ulwb”>Odell Beckham Jr. tore his ACL on Sunday while chasing down a Baker Mayfield interception. Surprisingly, this was somehow a turning point in the Browns' favor as Mayfield played an essentially perfect final three quarters of football after OBJ went down. Cleveland pulled out a last-second victory on a Mayfield dime to Donovan Peoples-Jones with 11 seconds remaining.That sequence of events has sparked a discussion in the football world about if Mayfield is a better player without his most talented receiver on the field. Stats such as the one below from two ESPN personalities were presented.

data-mm-id=”_zmhgzn70r”>Baseball will be making its return in late July. There are still some details to be ironed out, but we will see players trotting onto the diamond before August hits. It will look very different from any MLB season before– only 60 games in the season, a universal DH, and an attempt to shorten extra-inning games by allowing a runner to start on second after the ninth inning are among the big changes. Buster Olney went on ESPN this morning to discuss the changes and how it will affect the season in the larger picture. He also gave his pick for the World Series, and it comes as a bit of surprise. Olney is a believer in the Tampa Bay Rays. Yesterday, I argued that a 60-game season means star power will be more important than ever, which is why the Los Angeles Angels…
data-mm-id=”_cqgp50iho”>Ahead of Super Bowl XL some 14 years ago, aging Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis allowed cameras to follow him around and showcase what he endured physically to play in an NFL game. The segment aired during Super Bowl pregame and, though I searched in vain to find it on YouTube, what I remember clearly from it was the pain on his face as he walked down the stairs and saying his body felt like it was in a "car accident" after every game. That memory stirred this morning when I read a quote from Ben Roethlisberger about what his body felt like in the aftermath of the Steelers' Week 1 win over the New York Giants. In his first game back since suffering what could have been a career-ending elbow injury in Week 2 last year, Roethlisberger…
data-mm-id=”_3y4pyudty”>Last Sunday brought us a very rare occurrence in recent NFL history: Aaron Rodgers threw for two interceptions in one game. One of those was a pick-six, only the second of Rodgers' 15-year career. All in all, it was an uncharacteristically awful game for the Green Bay Packers quarterback. Rodgers went 16-of-35 for all of 135 yards and zero touchdowns along with the aforementioned interceptions. The Packers, naturally, lost. This is terrible news for the Houston Texans. They are the unfortunate team to be listed next on the Packers' schedule. It's not just the fact that the Texans a generally awful team with a putrid secondary that fired their head coach two weeks ago and the Packers should have no trouble at all handling them. Houston should be ve…
data-mm-id=”_6czbb17qk”>The Chicago Bears inked Andy Dalton to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million yesterday, appearing to signal an end to their rumored pursuit of Seattle Seahawks superstar QB Russell Wilson. Wilson is not officially on the trade block by any stretch of the imagination, but Seattle is willing to listen to offers after Wilson openly called for the team to give him more protection on the offensive line. Given the issues the Seahawks have had in doing just that throughout Wilson's tenure with the team, it's not an unfair ask, but doing so to media rather than his bosses seems to have aggravated the front office. The Bears were the team most linked with Wilson after deciding to move on from Mitch Trubisky and boasting an elite defense. On the Dan Patric…

One PSV fan was apparently so distraught about this that he felt the desire to run onto the pitch and express his displeasure directly to the face of Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović. Things escalated as the fan punched Dmitrović, but the player was unfazed and held the fan on the ground until security arrived to take him away.

Having the best name in your league is the biggest honor possible behind actually winning the whole thing and is far less of a luck-based achievement. It's arguably just as satisfying, too. Few things are better than proving you're funnier than your friends. However, most of us are not comedic geniuses and need a little bit of guidance to come up with the real good stuff. Thus, this list is your starting point. You can rip straight from it or use it as inspiration. There are no rules in this game.
