Last month marked one year since Juice WRLD’s untimely death at Chicago Midway International Airport. Prior to the anniversary, fans received an ample amount of music from the Chicago rapper and that bounty continued through the one-year anniversary of his passing. The latest posthumous release from Juice WRLD comes in the form of a guest appearance on DJ Scheme’s “Buck 50.” The mellow effort lands on a re-release of the producer’s Family album and sees the “Lucid Dreams” act keeping it straight with his opponents while warning them that retaliation is in order if he or anyone in his crew is injured on their behalf. The track stands as the only addition to the Family deluxe album and it also concludes with a guitar solo dedicated to Juice WRLD from Carlton McDowell, who grew up with and

Read MoreTNT In the 2020-21 season, there are no sideline reporters on NBA broadcasts which means postgame interviews are handled by either the announcers in the booth or, in the case of TNT games, the studio crew. There are basically two options for interviews when they are with the Inside the NBA crew: fun or disastrous. The best example of the fun option came in the Bubble when they talked with Boban Marjanovic. The examples of disastrous ones are, well, unfortunately far more prevalent, including with Kevin Durant, Christian Wood, Nikola Jokic, and, most recently, Donovan Mitchell on Thursday night after Utah came back from 16 down to runaway from the Pelicans for their seventh straight win. After Ernie Johnson started things off, they turned to Shaq who was critical of Mitchell at the...

Summary List PlacementSeven Democratic senators have called for an ethics probe into Republican Sens.
