Ex-Steelers QB Justin Fields' early struggles prove Aaron Rodgers is the best choice
Justin Fields is displaying some early growing pains since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers for the New York Jets. On an episode of The Manchild with Boy Green Digital podcast, Jets reporter Nick Faria explained that while Fields has shown a lot to love off the field, his struggles as a QB are showing where it matters most for the new Jets signal-caller: "You have to be able to win on the field," Faria said. "Some of the issues that we saw earlier in [Fields'] career — the completion percentage in the fourth quarter, being late on his reads, being a little too slow to process, bailing from the pocket a little bit too early — all of those things have followed him over the last four years with the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers. You are seeing similar things happen at minicamp. You saw it happen, where some of the issues he had — where he was late on some of his throws, he was late in his processing — that was happening at minicamp." While Faria acknowledged Fields is still learning a new offense and needs time to build chemistry with his players, his struggles over the past four years may be indicative of what to expect at training camp. Many Steelers fans were hoping Fields would re-sign with the Steelers, but given his early struggles with the Jets, signing Aaron Rodgers for 2025 and drafting a QB in 2026 may have been the better move for Pittsburgh after all. Fields has four seasons' worth of tape that contain the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Rodgers, while struggling early in 2024, rekindled some of his four-time MVP fire in the latter half of the season. The two QBs go head-to-head in Week 1 as the Steelers take on the Jets at MetLife Stadium — in what's shaping up to be a revenge game for the ages.

Riot Games responds to match-fixing allegations in VALORANT
THE ES TIMES — I've recently been following the escalating controversy rocking the VALORANT scene in North America. Riot Games has issued an official response to the mounting allegations of match-fixing, cheating, and integrity violations within Challengers NA competitions. Statement from Riot's Global Head of VALORANT Esports Leo Faria, the global head of VALORANT Esports, addressed the matter through the VCT X account, confirming that Riot Games takes these allegations very seriously. According to Faria, Riot began gathering information immediately after the reports surfaced in early May. To further the process, Riot Games enlisted the help of several integrity partners, including IBIA, Sportradar, and GRID, to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation. To date, Riot has not confirmed conclusive evidence. Investigating Carefully "We are thoroughly investigating all allegations," Faria said. He added that community input is welcome, but only credible evidence will inform decisions. He emphasized the importance of whistleblowers and community awareness, but reminded that legal action must be a priority. Riot also encouraged anyone with credible information to report it directly. The statement read: "If someone approaches you with information regarding misconduct, don't react—report it immediately." I personally like this approach, as it sets a strong example for professionally handling complex issues. The Controversy Began:Gares' Revealing Video The crisis escalated after Sean Gares, the general manager of Shopify Rebellion, posted a video titled "The Dark Side of Competitive VALORANT." He focused on a user named "bray," accusing him of paying players to intentionally lose matches. He also linked him to cryptocurrency-related groups rumored to be run by a person known as Cooker. Both parties denied the accusations. Bray wrote: "I didn't do anything. I have nothing to do with any of this. Stop posting about me." While Cooker tweeted that he doesn't "engage in any manipulation or anything like that." Accusations against professional players Gares also presented what he believes is potential evidence implicating Adam "Fair" Elharoun and Bob "Bob" Tran, who currently play for FlyQuest RED. According to him, they intentionally lost a match against Burger Boys and cheated in another match against Shopify Rebellion. He also mentioned that two other teams may have been involved, but chose not to name them, citing a desire to "protect people." FlyQuest RED's reaction In response to the accusations, FlyQuest RED has decided to temporarily suspend Bob. The team will field a replacement player while an internal investigation is conducted. The team's statement read: "We have been informed of the situation and will take the necessary time to evaluate everything." However, this decision has drawn criticism from the gaming community, with some pointing out that Marvel Rivals player Cooper 'coopertastic' remains on the FlyQuest roster, despite his offensive statements, which included transphobic and sexist slurs. Looking Ahead As the investigation continues, attention is focused on the actions of the individuals and organizations involved. Riot's approach appears balanced and, hopefully, leads to a fair resolution. With the rapid growth of the esports industry, competitive integrity must remain a top priority.

Tollywood fraternity reacts to Nusraat Faria's arrest and bail
Actor Nusraat Faria , who recently portrayed former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina in Mujib: The Making of a Nation, was granted bail on Tuesday against Taka 5,000 bond by a Dhaka court. She was arrested on May 18 at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport while attempting to fly to Thailand. She was taken into custody in connection with an attempted murder case tied to last year's anti-government protests in Bangladesh. Her arrest came as a shock to her Tollywood collaborators. 'She is a bright, talented, and very well-mannered individual,' said Bibaho Obhijaan director Birsa Dasgupta. 'The charges against her seem completely out of character.' Baba Yadav, who directed her in Boss 2 , said, 'Nusraat is a sensible woman from an educated background — she even studied law. On set, she was always polite and professional.' Cinematographer and director Soumik Halder, who worked with Faria in both a music video and Abar Bibaho Obhijaan , said, 'She's a professional and a delight to work with. I hope she overcomes this with strength.' I've worked with Nusraat & found her to be respectful to everyone on set. I read the news of her getting bail on Tuesday – Ankush, who starred opposite Faria in Abar Bibaho Obhijaan Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
