That’s what’s happening with the Charles Barkley-Samuel L. Jackson-Spike Lee ad campaign by Capital One running during Turner and CBS’ coverage of the NCAA tournament. In one humorous spot, Sir Charles mistakenly drives the group to Annapolis, Maryland — rather than Indianapolis — because he believes the Final Four is “In The Annapolis.” “You do know we’re in ‘The Maryland,’ right?” Jackson ribs Barkley. “Indianapolis is in ‘The Indiana.’” The commercial created by DDB Chicago went viral online, along with other funny spots in Capital One’s “Road to the Final Four” campaign, such as Barkley and Lee using the aliases “Barles Charkley” and “Mars Blackmon” while checking into a hotel....

While other Spider-Man: Miles Morales bugs provide unique angles on cutscenes or give the wall-crawler super speed, this bug is a simple color change for the Programmable Matter costume. This costume is unique for its ability to give the wearer any weapon they think of, and a finishing move sees Miles summoning Iron Spider legs to take out enemies. For those interested in the costume, and the glitch tied to it, the Programmable Matter suit can be acquired by completing a side mission after all the Underground Hideouts and Roxxon Labs are finished....

Nebraska’s Corey Cooper was feeling a little queasy during the Holiday Bowl, but didn’t have enough time to come out. It was just a little vomit so he just let it loose on the field and continued with his defensive assignment. USC probably had to rethink where they wanted to take the ball on that play.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - When Graham DeLaet was in need of a caddie for the Rio Olympics, he did what any Canadian would do. He drafted a hockey player. With his usual bagman, newly married Jules Trudeau, opting out of Rio because of Zika fears, DeLaet turned to his neighbour Ray Whitney, a recently retired veteran of the National Hockey League where his career spanned 17 years. Whitney certainly knows what it means to wear the Maple Leaf, having represented Canada at four world ice hockey championships, though on each of those four occasions he returned home without a medal....

Raptors star Kyle Lowry, considered the most impactful player available ahead of Thursday’s deadline, ended up staying in Toronto (well, Tampa, but you get it).

The trade window has historically closed on the Thursday after the All-Star Game, however, since 2018, the deadline has closed 10 days before the NBA’s best players face off in the prestigious game. The deadline was moved forward in order to allow traded players to sort out arrangements for themselves and their families, and the NBA is unlikely to move the deadline back anytime soon. Nevertheless, the trade deadline is still one of the most exciting times for NBA fans, and the next seven days are likely to provide a number of twists and turns....

NBA Trade Rumors: 5 possible destinations for Russell Westbrook this off-season #1- Indiana Pacers The Pacers could part ways with talismanic combo guard Victor Oladipo this off-season, so a trade for Russell Westbrook makes a lot of sense for them.

After reports emerged about the questionable status of Isaiah Thomas’ hip injury, the Cavs and Celtics still have not finalized a deal. Thomas, who was sent to Cleveland along with Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Nets’ unprotected 2018 first-round pick in the original trade, says he is not “damaged” and will return to his All-Star form once he recovers. But those injury concerns have opened the door for other suitors to at least take a swing at stealing Irving away from Boston....

NBA Trade Rumors: Miami Heat looking to acquire Jrue Holiday Miami Heat were a force to be reckoned with in last season’s playoffs.
