The New York Giants’ reported list of head coaching candidates includes former Las Vegas Raiders coach and Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce.

Pierce, 47, who started at middle linebacker for the Giants during the final five seasons of his nine-year playing career, was included on a list of candidates that also includes former NFL head coach Mike McCarthy, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.

Pierce went 4-13 during his only season as the Raiders’ full-time head coach in 2024, having previously gone 5-4 as an interim during the final nine games of the 2023 season. The former linebacker was hired full-time after an impressive late season run, which included an upset of the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day.

The Raiders, however, failed to duplicate that success during a 4-13 season in 2024, which included a 10-game losing streak. 

The Giants fired former head coach Brian Daboll in November after a 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, which saw them blow a 20-10 fourth quarter lead.

Wendy’s plans to close hundreds of its restaurants over the next few months in an effort to boost its profit and make its remaining stores more appealing.

The Dublin, Ohio-based chain said during a conference call with investors that it planned to begin closing restaurants soon. The company said it expected a “mid-single-digit percentage” of its U.S. stores to be affected, but it didn’t give any more details.

Wendy’s currently has 6,011 U.S. restaurants. If 5% of those locations were impacted, it would mean 300 store closures.

The new round of closures comes on top of the closure of 240 U.S. Wendy’s locations in 2024. At the time, Wendy’s said that many of the 55-year-old chain’s restaurants are simply out of date.

Fox Television Network announced that Johnny Knoxville will host Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, with the reality competition series scheduled to premiere during Fox’s 2026 season. Knoxville originated the MTV stunt show Jackass, which also went on to release four theatrical movies.

The network previously announced it was bringing back the show, which originally aired on NBC from 2001-2006, hosted by Joe Rogan. The show was revived by MTV in 2017 for two seasons, emceed by Ludacris.

Fox said the series will gather a group of strangers and put them under one roof in an “unforgiving, remote location.” The plan is to then throw “mind-blowing stunts and harrowing challenges” at them as they participate in a “twisted game of social strategy,” said Fox. Casting for contestants is open to those 18 and older in the United States and Canada.

The New York Giants closed their 2025 season with a 34-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18 at MetLife Stadium, finishing at 4-13 with back-to-back wins.

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart impressed in his finale, going 22-of-32 for 230 yards and two touchdowns, including a highlight-reel 29-yard backhanded flip to tight end Daniel Bellinger and a 13-yard score to running back Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tracy rushed for 103 yards, while Devin Singletary added a six-yard touchdown. Kicker Ben Sauls hit four field goals, and linebacker Bobby Okereke’s interception set up a score.

The Cowboys, resting starters in the second half, scored via Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah but couldn’t keep pace.

The late wins, however, hurt the Giants’ draft position, dropping them lower in the top five after holding the projected Number one pick just two weeks ago.

The Jets don’t play again until September. And that’s good news for everyone, except their opponents, after the Jets lost 35-8 to the Bills on Sunday.

They secured the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. And by trading away two of their best defensive players, they now have four picks in the first two rounds of the next two NFL Drafts, and a ton of cap space to make their team better.

But they still have a history of losing that they must overcome.

Their first year under coach Aaron Glenn was supposed to represent a new page, with a roster with plenty of talent and a lot of questions.

Instead, the former Jets star helped this franchise reprint a story it team knows all too well: one of the worst seasons in franchise history.

Ever wonder what the Bugatti Chiron could top out at if it wasn’t speed limited to 261 mph? Turns out, it’s just north of 300 miles per hour, making Bugatti the first manufacturer to break the 300-mile-an-hour barrier!

Bugatti recently took a “near production prototype” Chiron to the vast Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, where factory test driver Andy Wallace reached a top speed of 304.773 mph, with the time certified by the German TÜV organization.

The Chiron used was modified with an additional safety cell, aerodynamic changes and higher seventh-gear ratios. It also used a slightly more powerful version of the regular Chiron’s quad-turbocharged W-16 engine, turned up to produce 1600HP. In addition, specially constructed Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires were mounted on the car.

Amazingly, if it hadn’t been for running out of road on the test-track, the Chiron could even have gone slightly quicker, as the speed hadn’t leveled out yet, it was still climbing.

Congrats to Bugatti for earning a place in history as the first to exceed 300 miles per hour!

A recent study published in the journal Neurology suggests that consuming artificial sweeteners may accelerate brain aging by over 1.5 years. The research, conducted by a team of medical researchers  in Brazil, examined the effects of artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline. The study analyzed data from nearly 13,000 people aged 35 to 75 over an eight-year period.

They discovered that people who consumed the highest amounts of the sweeteners experienced faster declines in thinking and memory skills compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts.

The sweeteners studied included aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol.

The study found that the effects were more pronounced in individuals under 60 and those with diabetes. The study is observational and does not prove causation, but it raises important questions about the long-term impact of artificial sweeteners on brain health. 

Burger King aims to be a formidable contender in the world of fast food, with global favorites popping up all over and sparking dreams of tastes you can’t get right down the street. The latest burger creation is one of those items, dropping for a limited time in Japanese restaurants while mocking the rest of the world.

The King Yeti Super One Pound Beef Burger might sound like a Dragon Ball character, but it is also a cheesy, meaty take on Burger King’s trademark sandwiches that demands to be taken seriously.

The burger is four beef patties, six fresh onion slices, six slices of Gouda cheese and a Caesar sauce drizzled within crafted with a blend of Parmesan and Camembert cheeses. All between a toasted sesame seed bun. If it sounds like a heart attack waiting to pounce, take solace in the fact that you were taken down by meat bliss.

It is still Burger King, however. That means don’t walk into this expecting an artisan, haute cuisine experience. But for its realm, the King Yeti is right up there with the competition. The price tag could be a sticking point for many, clocking in at 1,750 Yen or $15.21 for just the sandwich. A combo goes up to $17.00.
