For many celebrity couples, the gift of a Birkin bag is a way to flex both their wealth and their love for each other.

The Nintendo Switch Has Sold More Units Than The Wii

Nintendo has always been at its best when it’s being unique. Love it or hate it, while competitors are always trying to push the boundaries of what a video game console can do, Nintendo is always going to be itself. Sometimes that leads to failures, but other times, it leads to major successes, like its current console, the Switch.

The appeal of the Switch is very simple: What if you had a home console, the kind that can play Skyrim or The Legend of Zelda, and bring it on the go with you? It’s incredibly innovative and has been one of the must-have consoles of this generation. It’s been so popular that recently the Switch hit a major milestone: it outsold the Wii. According to Nintendo, the Switch, as of December 31, 2021 has sold 103.54 million units. This puts it past the Wii’s 101.64 million units sold.

The Switch first launched back in March of 2017. Its success since then has been obvious, but as we enter into 2022, its age has led to questions about how much longer Nintendo plans to support the console. After all, on a technical level, it isn’t anywhere close to the recent PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S. But a recent earnings call reported by Bloomberg tells us that Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa sees the Switch as being in the “middle of its lifecycle.”

“Switch is just in the middle of its lifecycle and the momentum going into this year is good,” Furukawa said on a call after the earnings report. “The Switch is ready to break a pattern of our past consoles that saw momentum weakening in their sixth year on the market and grow further.”

With the recent launch of the OLED Model and Nintendo saying outright that the Switch isn’t near the end of its lifecycle, it looks like the Switch isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Tom Brady Joins The ‘Madden 22’ 99 Club After His Retirement

Tom Brady recently announced his retirement from the NFL. It was the end of a spectacular career that saw him win the Super Bowl seven times in 10 appearances while racking up numerous statistical records and individual honors. It was more than just a Hall of Fame career — the argument can be made pretty convincingly that Brady is the greatest football player of all time.

Of course, Brady was not only an incredible on the actual football field, but he was a monster in the world of video games. In the Madden franchise, Brady and his teams have always been fun to use and a nightmare to go up against. Right up until his final days in the NFL, Brady was a 97 overall, rating putting him second to only Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. To coincide with Brady’s retirement, Madden 22 decided to bump him up to an overall rating of 99 one final time.

This isn’t the first time he’s entered the 99 Club — in fact, he received this honor earlier this season — but it’s a fitting re-entry for a player who spent plenty of time there during his playing days.

It speaks to how highly everyone thought of Brady — along with the work he put in to continue performing at this level — that even at the end of his career, he was still one of the highest rated players in all of Madden. For comparison’s sake, Ben Roethlisberger is also retiring and his Madden rating fell all the way to a 74 by the time he decided to leave the game.

In 1889, a British newspaper asked women why they were ‘spinsters’ and the responses were savage

“Spinster” was one of the worst insults a person could hurl at a woman in the Victorian era. Typically, a spinster was a single woman who was childless, unmarried and had few prospects.

Spinsters were the subject of cruel jokes and thought of as sad, lonely women, left on the shelf.

The term spinster dates back to the 1300s and refers to women who spun yarn for a living. This was often the profession of single women because they didn’t have the resources to purchase expensive materials, so they were relegated to spinning wool.

In 1889, the editor of Tit-Bits, a British weekly magazine, asked single women to write in and explain why they aren’t married. The woman with the best response would be featured in the paper and win a prize.

The article was discovered by historian Dr. Bob Nicholson.


The request was a response to an earlier piece the magazine had run asking male readers, “Why are you a bachelor?”

The editor received a ton of letters and they weren’t the cordial responses we’ve come to expect from women of the era. Nope. They were smart, funny and sharp retorts that showed there were a lot of women out there who were single for a reason.

The editor originally only planned to post one response, but instead, he ran 21 responses and gave each one an equal piece of the prize. Each woman earned 5 shillings, which is about $25 today.

Here are 11 of the best responses. The first one is a reference to the tide of American women who flocked to England to marry into the aristocracy in the era.

1. It’s the damn Yankees

“Because I am an English lady, and the Americans monopolize the market,” — Miss Jessie Davies

2. She’s a wild horse

“Like the wild mustang of the prairie that roams unfettered, tossing his head in utter disdain at the approach of the lasso which, if once round his neck, proclaims him captive, so I find it more delightful to tread on the verge of freedom and captivity, than to allow the snarer to cast around me the matrimonial lasso,” — Miss Sarah Kennerly

3. She’s a self-made woman

“Because I have other professions open to me in which the hours are shorter, the work more agreeable, and the pay possibly higher,” — Miss Florence Watts

4. She’s rare china

“Because (like a piece of rare china) I am breakable, and mendable, but difficult to match,” — Miss S.A. Roberts,

5. Only Shakespeare could describe her

“My reason for being a spinster is answered in a quotation from the ‘Taming of the Shrew’: ‘Of all the men alive I never yet beheld that special face which I could fancy more than any other,” — Miss Lizzie Moore

6. Ready for action

“Because I am like the Rifle Volunteers: always ready, but not yet wanted,” — Miss Annie Thompson

7. No need for a beast 

“…I do not care to enlarge my menagerie of pets, and I find the animal man less docile than a dog, less affectionate than a cat, and less amusing than a monkey,” — Miss Sparrow

8. We’ll marry when John can afford it

“John, whom I loved, was supplanted in his office by a girl, who is doing the same amount of work he did for half the salary he received. He could not earn sufficient to keep a home, so went abroad; consequently, I am still a spinster,” — Miss E. Jones

9. Men are deceitful

“Because men, like three cornered tarts, are deceitful. They are pleasing to the eye, but on closer acquaintanceship prove hollow and stale, consisting chiefly of puff, with a minimum of sweetness, and an unconquerable propensity to disagree with one,” — Miss Emaline Lawrence

10. There’s no way off the marriage toboggan


“Because matrimony is like an electric battery, when you once join hands and can’t let go, however much it hurts; and, as when embarked on a toboggan slide, you must go to the bitter end, however much it bumps,”
— Miss Laura Bax

11. Waitin’ fer a dook

“Dear Mister Tit-Bits,-beein a cook with forteen pund 5/10 1/2 savins in the bank i natterally looks down on perlseesmen soljers an setterar, so i ham waiting fur a erle or a dook or sumthin of that sort to perpose fer my and and art, and that’s why i ham a spinster,” — Miss Annie Newton

Looking Back On Joe Burrow’s Path From Transferring To Get Playing Time To Starting In The Super Bowl

An argument can be made that Aug. 21, 2017 is the most consequential day in the recent history of the Cincinnati Bengals. About 110 or so miles away from Paul Brown Stadium, the Ohio State Buckeyes were in the midst of trying to figure out who would serve as the backup quarterback behind All-Big Ten signal caller JT Barrett.

One of the two guys battling for the job, three-star redshirt sophomore Joe Burrow, suffered a broken bone in his right hand. He got surgery the next day, and in the aftermath, four-star redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins won the job. Burrow, an Ohio native, got a little run in Barrett’s stead the year before and looked good, but ultimately was not able to win the backup gig back. He threw 11 passes to Haskins’ 57 in 2017, and that following offseason, Burrow decided that the best thing for his career would be to transfer to LSU.

“I came here to play,” Burrow said after the Buckeyes’ spring game in 2018, per Eleven Warriors. “I didn’t come here to sit on the bench for four years. And I know I’m a pretty darn good quarterback. And I want to play somewhere.”

Things generally went pretty well in Columbus — Haskins took over in 2018, won the Big Ten, and led the Buckeyes to a victory in the Rose Bowl while finishing in the top-3 of Heisman voting before becoming a first-round pick — but of course, Burrow would go on to show that he is, indeed, a pretty darn good quarterback. After being a perfectly solid signal caller for an LSU team that went 10-3 in 2018, Burrow threw down quite possibly the best individual season for a college football player that these eyes have ever seen.

LSU’s offense in 2019 boasted an all-time great collection of skill position talent. The best wide receivers of the last two NFL Drafts came from Baton Rouge (Justin Jefferson in 2020, Ja’Marr Chase in 2021) and a third was a second round selection (Terrace Marshall Jr. in 2021). Add in first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire at running back, and LSU had, quite literally, an entire starting unit of NFL players.

Still, Burrow was the straw the stirred the drink, and he did it better than anyone ever has in a single season. The team’s pass-happy offense saw its signal caller complete 76.3 percent of his passes for 5,671 yards with 60 touchdowns and six interceptions. Burrow was a unanimous All-American, won just about every award a quarterback can win, brought home the Heisman with the second-most first-place votes in history, and of course, parlayed all of this into a national championship and a No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The thing that made Burrow so much fun to watch was his total control of his surroundings. Offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and passing game coordinator Joe Brady built an offense around Burrow’s unflappable nature, accuracy to every part of the field, and the fact that the team’s pass catchers were so good that 50/50 balls were more like 70/30 balls when they were given a chance. Burrow’s deep accuracy, in particular, was put on display every week — his adjusted passing yards per attempt that season was the eighth-highest in FBS history, and stuff like this was commonplace.

It’s not hard to see why Burrow’s entire schtick would appeal to an NFL team, especially one like the Bengals, which had a decades-long history of bleak moments, could have really used someone who doesn’t really get shaken to be the face of the franchise, and also happened to have the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Taking Burrow was as easy a selection as there was, and while he flashed during his rookie campaign, Cincinnati’s inability to consistently protect him eventually took its toll — in Week 11 against the Washington Football Team, Burrow dropped back and got hit in the leg, suffering a torn ACL that ended his season.

Cincinnati being bad last year afforded them the opportunity to get Burrow some reinforcements. The team had the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and saw Oregon standout offensive lineman Penei Sewell fall right to them, filling an obvious need. But instead of doing that, the team decided to bolster its already pretty good wide receiver room by reuniting Burrow and Chase. The pick raised some eyebrows — plenty of folks (the author of this piece included!) subscribed to the thesis laid out in this graphic — but the decision could not have worked out much better: Chase was a second-team All-Pro selection as a rookie.

The Bengals bet big on skill talent being able to make up for some holes up front, and so far they’ve been right. Chase (second) and Tee Higgins (18th) were among the league leaders in yards per reception, Tyler Boyd is a reliable third option, CJ Uzomah had a career year, and Joe Mixon gave the team a reliable option, both as a runner and a receiving option out of the backfield.

The biggest reason that gamble worked is because, well, Burrow is a pretty darn good quarterback. The sacks were again a problem — he was taken down 51 times, the most in the league — but Burrow didn’t allow constant pressure to rattle him. The second-year star led the NFL in completion percentage (70.4 percent) despite consistently attacking teams downfield — he also also led the league in yards per attempt (8.9). Burrow attacks secondaries with aplomb, but also understands the value of taking what a defense will give you if that’s the best option. Of all the traits that he put on display in college, though, none is more prominent than his ability to remain level-headed no matter the situation, something that Bengals coach Zac Taylor praised after the team knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs.

“When the game is on the line,” Taylor said, “he is going to figure it out.”

We’ve seen plenty of teams make it to the Super Bowl for the first time and promptly lose. Hell, the team that the Bengals are about to play made it to football’s biggest game in 2019 and got stuffed into a trash can by the New England Patriots. Losing in the Super Bowl has the potential to be an excellent learning experience … but of course, it’s far, far better to go out there and win the whole thing. We’ll find out in a little more than a week if that’s the case, but if the Bengals are able to lift the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history, it will almost certainly be because the guy who had to transfer because of a horribly timed injury has turned into one of the best quarterbacks in the sport.

‘Jeopardy!’ Champ Amy Schneider Is Preparing To Write A Book After Spending Some Of Her Winnings On A Fancy Bathtub

Historic Jeopardy! champ Amy Schneider jumped into a Twitter Space last night to share updates on her post-game show life. When asked about her next steps, Schneider discussed the possibility of writing a book chronicling her experience on the show and beyond.

“I’m trying to put together a book proposal to see if that gets interest. That just really needs my focus. I’m really excited about it. The chance to put all the stuff I’ve been thinking my whole life into a book is kind of exciting,” Schneider said. There most definitely will be interest.

Schneider discussed her monumental winning streak last week with The New York Times, opening up about how strange the fame has been, and the whirlwind experience she has had since losing on Jan. 26th, after 40 episodes. “It wasn’t just a feeling of sadness, there was a sense of relief,” she said. “It was so exhausting.” She has garnered a strong social media fanbase, who have supported the winner beyond her historic streak.

The software engineer has also been sharing interesting tidbits about her time on the show, including why the producers had her dress a certain way, and her favorite pre-game track.

Of course, the fans of the show are always curious what kind of lavish and over-the-top thing a big-winning contestant will spend their small fortune on. When asked on Twitter, Schneider wholesomely responded, “We went to this really fancy, boutique hotel in Half Moon Bay, Calif., last Saturday night, specifically for its giant bathtubs.” This is a person who knows how to handle her winnings! Give her the book deal!

What Are The Rules For The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?

An artist becomes eligible for inclusion in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after they release their first album. For example, this year marks Eminem’s first year of eligibility because it’s been 25 years and some months since he released his debut album Infinite back in 1996. According to the New York Times, nominators are asked to consider an artist’s musical influence as well as the “length and depth” of the career in addition to their “innovation and superiority in style and technique.”

Additionally, artists can be nominated and inducted into the hall based on four categories: performer (singers, vocal groups, bands, and instrumentalists of all kinds), early Influences (artists from early eras that include country, folk, jazz, and blues), non-performers (record label executives, songwriters, record producers, disc jockeys, concert promoters, and music journalists), and sidemen (veteran session and concert players.)

Roland Emmerich On Unleashing His Full, Unfiltered Wrath With ‘Moonfall’

On Wednesday, I finally saw Moonfall, a movie that, since seeing the first trailer, I’ve been counting the days until I got to see the moon destroy the Earth. Moonfall could only be directed by Roland Emmerich, a man who has destroyed portions of Earth do often (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow that of course the only object he has left to ram into us is our own, peaceful moon. But, what if, as Emmerich proposes, our moon turned against us and decided to fall? Anyway, as you might expect, Moonfall was pure, unfiltered spectacle. And after seeing it, I just had to talk to Emmerich about it. So, I did, about an hour after I finished watching it – very much still hyped up on ice coffee and Moonfall fueled adrenaline.

The plot of Moonfall … honestly, I’m not sure I can actually explain it. It’s a lot crazier than you might even expect from a movie about the moon smashing into Earth as Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, and John Bradley try to stop the moon. (I’ve never seen a movie where people are actively “running away from the moon” before. Ahead, we talk to Emmerich, who secured the financing for Moonfall himself, which means he could do literally anything he wanted in the movie. (Spoiler: he does anything he wants.) Which means Moonfall is, truly, Roland Emmerich unleashed.

I remember seeing the commercial for this a couple of weeks ago, and I tweeted Moonfall will win an Oscar and your Twitter account favorited that.

[Laughs] It’s not going to happen, but thank you very much.

This movie lived up to everything I wanted. The moon falls!

Yeah, it’s kind of inspired by a book I read like eight, nine years ago. And it was called Who Built the Moon, very provocative question, and then answered it. And then I kind of checked out some other books and internet stuff, and so I thought it was a fascinating idea to have this thing get out of orbit. Through that we find out that it’s not a real object, and then we fly into it.

People are asking me what the plot is, and I’ve been having trouble coming up with a succinct way to do it, and what you just said is very good.

And then I also kind of said we have to, this time, use a real conspiracy theorist, which comes into the story and gets sucked into it. And then at one point, even he wanted to become an astronaut, is reluctant to do it, and finds all kinds of excuses. And they say, “Well, we need a megastructurist.”

Remember in Armageddon when Michael Bay took a shot at your Godzilla movie at the beginning of that movie? I feel like now, 24 years later, you’re like, “Oh, your little asteroid was going to hit the Earth? How about the moon!”

No, definitely not, definitely not.

Oh, come on. That’s had to have been in your head for a while…

I’m not that petty. I’m not that petty person.

But it is a bigger object than what he did…

I know, I know. But it’s also, how he had kind of the wrong Godzilla anyways! You know what I mean?

I do.

I slimmed him down! I made him fast!

I’m not kidding when I said I am in awe of this movie.

Good.

But how did you convince anyone to pay for this?

Well, this was like exactly the problem. We had this set up at Universal even before Midway, and then nothing happened really. And then I actually, kind of first time in my career said, “Okay, so how much is this worth for the people out there?” And we found some Chinese company who had committed some equity, and then another Chinese company came in, and then we sold the movie to Lionsgate, and then to the world. We got all the money together, it was a little bit less than we wanted, but it was still kind of okay.

And so, when I kind of realized all of a sudden, oh my God, I can make my own movies, I was really excited because about that. Because all of a sudden nobody’s saying anything to you. It’s only like your colleagues will once in a while say something, and that’s it. So I said to myself, “Why not do this with Moonfall?”

Is this the first movie where you just literally did anything you wanted?

It’s the second one. The first was Midway.

But compared to Midway, this one feels like Roland Emmerich unleashed.

Yeah, but it’s like whatever it is, I mean, I make different kinds of movies. But also, I’m very fearless when it comes to these kinds of scenarios.

Sure, I’ve seen your Shakespeare movie, Anonymous. I know you make different movies, but this one felt like for anyone who doesn’t think you can still make a good disaster movie, well, check this out. The moon is going to kill Earth.

Well, you have to also understand, we did this entering the COVID times. First of all, we started the movie in Montreal for two months or so. Then they shut us down. They said, You cannot work anymore, and you have to leave the country.” And then we all kind of sat around for three, four months. I then was allowed back into the country like in July or so. And then we get all the crew back. And then we actually had them to shoot over Christmas. And I had $5.6 million in COVID costs. The movie was $140 million roughly, right? Now you deduct $5.5 million in COVID costs, nearly $11 million in financing costs. That leaves you with $190 million or so.

So, was this the most challenging movie you’ve ever had to make?

Well, yes. I wanted to shoot it in 59 days, but then it didn’t work out, and it was shot in 61. But think about that, 61 shooting days with no second unit. Also, this was a movie where I didn’t build so much, you know what I mean? There was not much built. Yeah, there was the NASA thing, there was this, there was that, but most of the time it’s CGI. I mean, it was like people jumping around in front of a blue screen.

If I remember correctly, the White House in the first Independence Day was a model that you blew up. You couldn’t actually get the moon to come that close to Earth.

Right, it’s all done digitally anyways.

And I say this as the biggest compliment, the plot of this movie is insane. The last act of this movie, it just keeps getting weirder and weirder, and I’m like, what is this? This is nuts.

Exactly, that’s also kind of the trick. If you want to have a certain reaction, yeah, they’re flying inside the moon, but they don’t know really what’s going on, and you leave everything out really, which is the conclusion. There’s no conclusion, and that’s actually something I’m very proud of. So when the people then finally go in, because they’re not going in when you make it that complicated, anyway. They either come or not come, and the people who come and see that movie, they have to be so excited that they tell everybody in the world what a fantastic movie this is.

Look, it’s been a shitty couple years, and this movie is exactly what I wanted to see. And you don’t see movies like this anymore.

Well, we have like a huge problem with that. Because of the streamers, they’re like always tense, either doing really big stuff with a lot of stars, or small stuff. Doing exactly the same way it always was, but you can hardly do any movie without having an IP. Marvel, DC Comics…

Star Wars.

Star Wars. That’s pretty much it. And if this keeps going like this, this will be the death of films.

Could there be another Moonfall?

It is planned as a trilogy.

Alright!

That’s why it has a little bit open ending.

A character melds with the moon.

The line, “we have to get ready.”

By the way, John Bradley, who was always great on Game of Thrones, he’s really great in this. And I know there was someone else cast in that role before you got him…

I had him at the very beginning. I Zoomed with him and I kind of thought, I found my actor. At the very, very beginning, even before Halle and Patrick and everything.

Oh really?

And then they challenged me, and I gave in. I gave in. And then I cast Josh Gad, who is a similar type of person, but maybe a bigger name or whatever, at least here America. And luckily, to my real excitement, he couldn’t do it.

Because you got who you wanted?

And then I had a second chance at John Bradley. Because the casting is still a little bit in the hands of Lionsgate than us. It’s just this weird thing, which I want to change now too, because that’s just not right. The whole world has to see this movie, and then Lionsgate has this clause in there, has to be 50/50. Then, but what happens when you’re not 50/50, you know what I mean? So anyhow, we were totally in, and then I had John Bradley, and now John Bradley pretty much steals the movie.

I’m not sure the movie works without him.

He’s the comic relief, but with a lot of heart. He’s a sad figure. He’s a sad, sad figure who like knows the moon will crush us.

I have not seen anything like this in a long time. Or really, anything like this ever. I kept thinking I can’t believe this exists.

We were like starved for it. We finally got something.

A movie about the moon destroying the Earth, and you made it.

Okay. Thank you.

‘Moonfall’ opens in theaters everywhere on February 4th. You can contact Mike Ryan directly on Twitter.
