No matter how much experience you have out in the wild, you never quite know when you might be face to face with one of the most intimidating creatures on the planet. One hiker and her group found out just how valuable having an experienced guide can be in the wilderness when they got a shocking up-close look at a grizzly bear.

As we get later into the NFL season, and the contenders separate themselves from the also-rans, games of lesser consequence can be flexed out of prime-time slots in favor of more compelling matchups. Alas, when my beloved Cincinnati Bengals visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 at AT&T Stadium — aka where Jake Paul and Mike Tyson slugged it out like gladiators — that underwhelming duel is locked in to stay. Now why is that?

Fitting that the AP 18th-ranked Army Black Knights are undefeated this college football season, because they absolutely did not miss on this occasion either. Despite a couple games still to play before their annual regular-season finale rivalry clash against Navy on December 14, the Black Knights dropped an awesome video of the custom uniforms they’ll be rocking that Saturday. They’re a tribute to the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

Some rumors can be written off as pure hearsay, but given the awful quality of the Netflix fight between the victorious Jake Paul and beyond-washed Mike Tyson, this one sure would check out. The artist known as DJ Whoo Kid, who evidently has a lot of celebrity connections, got to talking to Paul about the Tyson bout, and came away with a potential bombshell revelation. That is, legal stipulations were in place to ensure that Tyson and Paul didn’t go hard at each other.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have as illustrious of a franchise history as any team in the NFL, but as part of the league’s Salute to Service initiative, Sunday’s halftime show by Charles Esten highlighted a story that really blew my mind. Esten just debuted his first country studio album Love Ain’t Pretty this January, but you could tell he was thrilled to be able to share a very special collaboration with a certain U.S. Army veteran.

We’re off to a rip-roarin’ start here ain’t we? 😂
“I just decided not to sign those papers … I hate being on the sideline looking at everybody else do work.” Bengals 1st round pick Shemar Stewart said he hopes to have his contract signed by next week. He did not participate in rookie minicamp today, but was present. #Bengals https://t.co/8HWqmL3ROV
How is Marco Wilson so bad he’s legitimately one of the most athletic corners of all-time and all he’s known for is throwing a shoe in college make it make sense (All due respect to Marco Wilson, who’s still an NFL player after all)
Lots has been made about the Bengals defense playing better over the final 5 weeks of 2024. Here's how PFF graded them over that span. They also got 42% of their total sacks in those final 5 games. https://t.co/DLXyDwSdfV
