John Lynch shuts down Deebo Samuel rumors for now

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke with the media on Apr. 25 and said he does not want to trade Deebo Samuel.

Wide receivers have been on the move throughout the NFL offseason, as evidenced by the trades of Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill. One of the latest pass-catchers to want a trade from their current team is Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers.

On Monday, April 25, 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke to the media and basically shut down the chances of moving on from Samuel, saying that he does not envision moving on from him.

John Lynch shuts down potential Deebo Samuel trade

“I can’t ever imagine wanting to move on from Deebo,” Lynch said, h/t Kevin Patra of NFL.com. “You put yourself through the exercises of even though we don’t have a first-round pick, you have to be thorough in this process and prepare for everything, and as you go through and do that. He’s just too good of a player.”

Last week, the NFL began their voluntary offseason workout programs, but Samuel did not report to the 49ers, with reports hinting that he was seeking a new contract. Samuel is set to enter the final year of his contract before hitting free agency.

Then, Samuel told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington that he requested a trade off of the 49ers. Prior to this bombshell, Adam Schefter said that the wide receiver was not engaging in contract negotiations with the team. Even after Samuel told Darlington that he wanted a trade, there is no specific reason as to why he made the request.

Things can obviously change, but as of this writing, Lynch has expressed his desire for Samuel to remain with the team.

Ja Morant Wins 2022 Most Improved—and Gives Award to Desmond Bane

Ja Morant put the League on notice when he won Rookie of the Year in 2019-20. His ascension has only continued this season, from being named a 2022 NBA All-Star to now the NBA’s Most Improved Player. Ja, who is averaging a career-high 27.4 points per game, is the first Grizzlies player to ever win the award and the first-ever in League history to win both MIP and ROY.

And yet, back in December Ja had made it clear via Twitter who he felt was deserving of the award: Desmond Bane.

On Monday night, the SLAM 238 co-cover star posted on his Instagram story that he gave the award to Bane and left it in his kitchen.

“You deserve it killa!” he wrote in his caption.

Bane has improved across the stat sheet in his second year and is averaging 18.2 points and 4.4 rebounds. When Morant was out with a tweaked knee last month, he stepped up and averaged around 25.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in three games. He dropped 34 points in a Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves.

The Grizzlies are currently tied with Minnesota 2-2 going into Game 5.

Lisa Vanderpump Reacts to Vanderpump Valley Spin-Off Rumors

“I’m very invested in Katie and Tom’s marriage because I actually officiated the wedding, and I love them very much,” Lisa said about the couple’s split. “For so many years, hundreds of episodes, I’ve been the kind of matriarch and their mother, but also their adviser and council, not that they have always taken it. I’ve also come to love all of them very much, and I hate it when I see them unhappy.  They say a mother is as happy as her saddest child, and you see it when they’re hurting. I think the whole group feels like that.”
 
And with Lala deciding to excommunicate Tom after he hung out with her ex-fiancé, Randall Emmett, there’s a plethora of story lines to follow in a potential 10th season.
 
“There’s a story that still keeps going, but it’s been 10 years. But I’m also very aware that the fans are very invested,” Lisa said. The only hint she would give? “I’m not allowed to say,” she teased, “but, I always know more than you.”

Fans can catch up on past seasons of Vanderpump Rules on Peacock.

Kim Kardashian & Pete Davidson’s Date Night in D.C.

Kim Kardashian is going solo—on TikTok, that is.

Five months after joining the app with her 8-year-old daughter North West using a joint account, the reality star launched a page of her very own on April 25. In true Kardashian fashion, Kim made sure to give a shout-out to her glam squad in her social media post, enlisting both hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup guru Mario Dedivanovic to star in her solo account’s inaugural video.

In the tongue-in-cheek clip, the two men can be seen carrying the tools of their trade as an audio track asks, “So, you’re an artist? Are you good at it?”

After they nod, the video then cuts to Kim, rocking a sleek ponytail and a face full of makeup, striking a variety of poses.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum wrote in the caption, “Hey Guys.”

Needless to say, Kim made quite the impression as the comments section was quickly flooded with warm welcomes for the SKIMS mogul. “DAMNN QUEEN SLAYYY,” one TikTok user raved, while another fan wrote, “THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED.”

Variable Refresh Rate Arrives on PS5 Later This Week

The much-anticipated support for variable refresh rate (VRR) is coming to the PS5 this week.

Variable refresh rate syncs the refresh rate of the display to the game’s output. This helps get rid of screen tearing and frame pacing issues that can happen if the game runs at a lower or higher frame rate than the display. The increased smoothness can also decrease input lag which essentially allows quicker reactions when you press a button on the controller.

Until now, VRR was only supported on Microsoft’s Xbox Series S and X consoles.

The Best PS5 Games

Sony’s SVP Hideaki Nishino announced the update in a PlayStation Blog post. People with HDMI 2.1 VRR-compatible TVs and monitors will be able to take advantage of the feature.

Sony says that VRR will be supported on previously-released games via a patch and future games will include support at launch. VRR can also be applied to games that don’t officially support it which could improve video quality. You can always turn it off if you experience any visual problems.

To start, the following games will receive VRR patches:

  • Astro’s Playroom
  • Call of Duty: Vanguard
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Destiny 2
  • Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
  • DIRT 5
  • Godfall
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • Resident Evil Village
  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
  • Tribes of Midgard

Spider-Man: Miles Morales PlayStation 5 Showcase Screenshots

The company didn’t specify exactly what day the update will land, but did advise keeping your PS5 connected to the internet. This is a much welcome update to the PS5, that puts it more in line with the competition from Xbox.

PS5 owners also more news to celebrate, especially if they’re a fan of PS1 games. A number of Syphon Filter games recently passed certification in South Korea which could mean they’ll likely be included in the all-new PlayStation Plus Premium tier. The ugraded PlayStation Plus is due to launch on June 13, 2022 in the Americas.

New photos of Manchester United’s home jersey for next season surface


 

A fresh round of images of the jersey set to be donned by Premier League giants Manchester United in home fixtures next season have come to the fore over the last 24 hours.

The shirt in question will feature a number of alterations to the current iteration, most notably a collar lined with a series of triangle shapes along the edges.

Elsewhere, the Red Devils’ crest will be surrounded by a new-look border, in the shape of a downwards arrow.

Not only that, but Adidas’ famed trio of stripes along the shirt’s sleeves are set to be shifted from their current white colour to black, with the base of the kit also potentially in line to take on a deeper tone of red.

Check out the latest leaked pictures of Manchester United’s home kit for 2022/23 below, courtesy of the reliable Footy Headlines:

Chelsea test

Turning attentions away from kits and back towards matters on the pitch, Manchester United, of course, are primed to return to action in just shy of 72 hours’ time.

After seeing the club’s top-four hopes dealt what is likely to prove a fatal blow at the hands of Arsenal at the weekend, the Red Devils will welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford on Thursday night, eyeing a return to winning ways.

Such an outcome, though, appears altogether unlikely based on form, with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues fresh off the back of four wins from five across all competitions, including a last-gasp derby downing of West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

Amid Barcelona return links, Lionel Messi’s plans for next season revealed


 

An insight into the immediate future of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has been provided on Monday evening.

The name of Argentine international Messi has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines across the last 48 hours.

This comes after the 34-year-old sealed PSG’s latest Ligue 1 crown, courtesy of a stunning long-range strike during a meeting with RC Lens on Saturday night.

Messi’s telling weekend contribution, though, came amid what has otherwise proven an altogether underwhelming debut campaign for the veteran attacker in France.

Though reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated, with Messi having directly contributed to 22 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions, fresh failure in the Champions League saw both the South American and attacking partner in crime Neymar targeted in ruthless fashion on the part of the PSG faithful.

Reports, in turn, quickly began to spread hinting at a potential Parc des Princes exit this summer, with former club Barcelona one destination singled out as a possible landing spot.

If the latest word stemming from Messi’s home country of Argentina on Monday is anything to go by, however, then such a move, in fact, does not appear to be on the cards.

As per the reliable TYC Sports, the 2021 free agent arrival in Paris is fully intent on seeing out his terms with PSG.

With Messi having put pen to paper on a two-year contract containing the option for a third, he will therefore be going nowhere until the summer of 2023 at the very earliest.
