Let’s round it up! Video Game News SOE Announces New First-Person Shooter ‘Bullet Run’ Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), and developer ACONY, have announced they are releasing a new online game (no big surprise there), Bullet Run. This free-to-play first-person-shooter pits teams against each other in a reality TV game show style death match arena ala Smash TV or Running Man – even a little like Hunger Games. It’s set in the near future, the reality TV game show, Bullet Run, has players not only killing each other, but being rated on style and attitude, which will garner them fame....

Innovation definitely helped: phones got smaller and notebooks, lighter. But the real change was in the way I planned the trip. What’s smart technology behind a desk may be no good at all on the road. There are trade-offs, to be sure. But lightness and convenience in return for accepting something less than full functionality? That’s a deal I’ll take any time. A mobile telephone will be at the top of your travel technology plan....

The Cowboys obviously did not lose simply because they failed to convert a fourth-and-3 from the Rams’ 11-yard line with just under 12 minutes to play in a three-point game. Yet Garrett knows from experience why new Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is taking heat for the decision not to kick a field goal for a chance to tie the game early in the fourth quarter. The voice of the armchair NFL coach is amplified when that voice is screaming during a Cowboys game....

So it should come as a surprise to no one that we have found the images coming from abroad both heartening and harrowing. The picture of the little boy placing a bouquet outside the American mission in London, the buses motionless for a minute of silence in Stockholm, the TV anchors dressed in black in Vienna. All sending the unmistakable message, first uttered by Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and repeated in the editorial pages of the French daily Le Monde: “Today, we are all Americans....

Wenger’s 22-year stay at the club has only three matches remaining and Arsenal have given no clues about potential replacements for the Frenchman. Former captain Patrick Vieira and Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers have been linked with the post, and the 68-year-old clarified he will have no say over who the next person in the Emirates Stadium dugout is. “I’m not involved in that and it’s not my job. My job was to perform with the team and my job is not to choose my successor,” Wenger told Sky Sports....

The Gunners midfielder has managed five league goals thus far this season, while he only managed six in England’s top flight in the entire 2015-16 campaign. Wenger plays down Debuchy claims Indeed, with nine shots on target from his total of 19 efforts at goal in the current league season, Ozil’s shooting accuracy of 47.4 per cent is lower than the likes of Philippe Coutinho (53.1%), Dele Alli (54.3%) and Eden Hazard (60%)....

We’re still trying to figure that question out. Georgia dropped out after losing to Alabama. Which SEC team belongs? Is it LSU? What about the Big 12? TCU or Baylor? Is Utah or Clemson a more-deserving contender? MORE: Four In, Four Out | Who’s the best team in college football? A look at Sporting News’ bowl projections for the 2015-16 season heading into Week 6.

There are plenty of good backups out there, though, and with only nine kickers having an ownership level above 50 percent in Yahoo leagues – two of which are Bailey and Gano – it’s not difficult to find a replacement for free. Now, Let’s get kicking! (“Let’s get kicking!” will likely never become a registered trademark of Sporting News Fantasy, as our legal department won’t pursue such, quote, “jackass shenanigans”....

McCaffrey nearly played in the Panthers’ Thursday night game in Week 8, so it’s assumed that he will be back in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Jones’ return for Thursday’s game in San Francisco is less certain, as the Packers have been cautious with him, but he certainly could be back. Chris Carson’s return against the Bills is also up in the air. If he and Jones are active, they’re top-12 PPR backs, but if they’re out, Williams and Dallas can hold down RB2 spots in their owners’ lineups....

With so much to talk about last week, there were a few items that didn’t hit the front page of Game Rant, but were interesting enough to cover in some capacity. So for this week’s Weekly Video Game Round-Up, we’ll be discussing a few additional items from Gamescom. - Forza Motorsport 6 Has Hydroplaning In preparation for the September 15th release of Forza Motorsport 6, developer Turn 10 Studios took to Gamescom to share some interesting additions they’ve made to the latest sequel....

Why Chelsea need foil for Costa The Germany international stated this week that his decision over whether to sign a contract renewal hinged on Wenger’s future at Emirates Stadium. However, the 67-year-old feels Ozil has been misinterpreted, insisting the midfielder does want to know whether he will remain in charge at the club but says he is also considering many other factors. “He wants to know what is happening, but it is not the main part of his decision,” Wenger said at a news conference....

I’m not sure why – I study all the stats, I watch all the games, I make informed decisions – but I’m terrible. After Sunday’s games, I had 30.2 points this week. Thirty-point-two. Sure, I still had Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery left to play Monday night, but my entire team had fewer points than my opposition’s QB, Nick Foles.

To be fair, our biggest whiff last week wasn’t Jackson – it was Benny Snell, who we stayed with despite knowing James Conner would play. We thought Snell would still get 10-plus touches and perform well, and given his minimum price, still had the potential to pay off. How wrong we were. We’re not making that mistake again, instead opting for three workhorse RBs to go with three high-targets WRs, a stable QB, and good TE....
