This is according to Reddit user _Robbie, who discovered that Anthem isn’t even currently in the top 50 most-played Xbox Live games. Microsoft keeps a running list available of the most-played games, and right now, Battlefield 1 is last on the list. According to Battlefield 1 stat-tracking website BF1Stats, the game bounces between 2,500 on the low end and 7,500 on the high end. Not only does this mean Anthem has fewer active players than Battlefield 1, which released all the way back in 2016, but it has also fewer players than Fallout 76....

This challenge requires players to complete various tasks and must be done prior to proceeding through the story. It requires players to complete the tasks associated with the Trial of Cariff, Trial of Gawnes, Trial of Yvenia, and Trial of Artinia. Each task can be found below, but it’s worth highlighting that the reception to this particular mission hasn’t been the best. This mission seemingly forces players into freeplay to complete these tasks....

First, it’s worth mentioning that the game will have two separate set of dates for the demo. The VIP Demo is set to occur first, but to get access, Anthem hopefuls will need to have pre-ordered the game. For their trouble, however, they will be given a special in-game item showing they were among the first to play. This demo is set to occur on January 25-27, which is just a little less than a month prior to the game’s full launch....

The Pelicans star began his 2016-17 campaign with a 50-point performance in a 107-102 defeat at home against Denver. His scoring output was a team record for a season debut. He also added a game-high 16 rebounds, seven steals, five assists and four blocks to become the first player in league history to record at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and five steals since steals first began being recorded as an official stat 43 years ago....

New Orleans is starting to listen to teams who are putting in offers to acquire the All-Star big man, according to The Athletic. The Pelicans and new executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin have been insistent that they are going to do all they can to keep Davis with the team, but things may have just changed. Davis’ agent Rich Paul told ESPN during the season that the All-Star would not re-sign with the Pelicans when his contract ran out with the team after the 2020 season and he would prefer to be traded....

Joshua won back the IBF, WBA and WBO titles from Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia last week, avenging his shock defeat at Madison Square Garden six months earlier. The only strap not in Joshua’s collection is the WBC title, which Wilder has held since 2015. Wilder is due to face Fury in a rematch on February 22, and Joshua wants to fight the winner in an undisputed bout....

For Bledsoe and the Suns, the wait has been on since they could not come to an agreement on a deal. Bledsoe expected a maximum contract in the $80 million range, while the Suns came to the table with more than $30 million less. MORE: GM: ‘No reason’ to trade Bledsoe | Thomas has wrist surgery | Tucker suspended Bledsoe’s teammates also have to deal with the anticipation and unanswered questions....

Researchers are actively searching for 216 people diagnosed with Parkinson’s who experience hallucinations related to the disease at least once a week. Patients must also be on a stable dose of medication to control their disease for 28 days before starting the trial. Once a patient is approved to take part in the trial, they will be randomly assigned to receive either ondansetron or a placebo via mail. The Trial of Ondansetron as a Parkinson’s Hallucination Treatment (TOPHAT) is a $1....

It’s not quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who just led the NFL in passing yards. It’s wide receiver Antonio Brown, the seven-time Pro Bowler who bolted from the team with a playoff berth still a possibility after a reported dust-up with Roethlisberger and, apparently, lingering issues with Tomlin. As a former NFL team executive, I never experienced a star player deserting his team in-season and without a contract issue. Brown is earning $17 million per year and is among the league’s top-paid receivers....

He’s no longer an Oakland Raider. Fed up with the Raiders who undoubtedly were fed up with him, Brown took to Instagram early Saturday, lashing out at the team once again. He asked to be released, and several hours later the Raiders obliged. “You are gonna piss a lot of people off when you start doing what’s best for you,” the Instagram post began in large type. “And that’s fine!...

Brown was largely restricted to watching practice in the opening episode of “Hard Knocks,” sidelined by a mysterious foot injury at Raiders training camp. The star wide receiver instead had to pass the time introducing his new quarterback to his kids.

In the tweet, Sabáto wrote that the studio would be for “patriots” and would take on projects that “Hollywood would never do.” He also spoke out against “blacklisting” and “injustice from socialist’s [sic] elites.” Fans on Twitter quickly supported Sabáto’s plan. Some people asked how they could get involved, such as making donations for the possible studio and some even made suggestions for conservative performers that the actor could team up with, such as Vampires actor James Woods who has also been a vocal Trump supporter in the entertainment industry....

The meeting was scheduled for Thursday, and was contingent on Russia not invading Ukraine. “Now that we see the invasion is beginning and Russia has made clear its wholesale rejection of diplomacy,” Blinken said, it does not make sense to go forward with that meeting. Earlier Tuesday, several former Ukrainian officials told Newsweek that Vladimir Putin does not need a large-scale invasion to reach his goal of a destabilized Ukraine that is not part of Western security alliances like NATO....

This brings a sense of immense pride to everyone hailing from India. Accomlishments like these do not ensue everyday but the last two months have been the biggest in terms of sports in India. Four Indian para-athletes, including gold medallist Sumit Antil, touched down in India on Friday. Several fans, officials and media members welcomed them at the Indira Gandhi International Stadium in Delhi. Enchanted by their achievements, sports minister Anurag Thakur along with other minsters felicitated the para-athletes....

The team is currently marshalled by team director Ravi Shastri, who took over after Zimbabwean Duncan Fletcher’s contract wasn’t renewed following India’s semi-final loss in the One-Day World Cup early in 2015. Shastri has been reluctant to take on the role on a permanent, long-term basis and only agreed to take charge for a short duration. India will be hosting the World Twenty20 tournament from March 8 to April 3....

Thakur, who assumed office as the new president of the world’s richest cricket board replacing Shashank Manohar, who had to vacate his post due to his commitments with the International Cricket Council (ICC) as its Chairman, is also keen on engaging with the cricket loving public so as to rectify the dubious image the BCCI has in the eyes of Indian fans at large. “Ours is one of the best-administered boards – in the last year, we have appointed a CEO and CFO to bring transparency....

“Maharashtra gains Rs 100 crore from IPL and if the tournament goes out of the state, this will be a loss for the state,” Thakur said while acknowledging the fact that the cash-rich tournament has always been dogged by “unwanted controversies” in its nine- year history. His statement came a day after chief minister of Maharashtra and Thakur’s BJP party colleague Devendra Fadnavis had said he was fine with the IPL moving out of Maharashtra....

The Congresswomen were indeed arrested, per Capitol Police, alongside 14 other House Democrats, but there were no handcuffs. The arrest consisted of being led by police to a shady area and fined $50, though the dramatic antics and histrionics of the Congresswomen, their staff, and their media sycophants would have you believe that they were under serious duress. Omar’s team even seems to have “confirmed” to one reporter the falsehood that she was handcuffed, while media coverage of the event has so far been intentionally misleading, with photos of the Congresswoman from the front seeming to back up their acting as fact and portraying their actions as heroic, despite them being a clear media stunt....

A person familiar with the U.S. Tennis Association’s choice told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Fish will replace former captain Jim Courier, who stepped down in September after eight years leading the Americans. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the USTA scheduled a formal announcement about Fish on Wednesday. The 37-year-old Fish won six titles in singles and eight in doubles as a player, earned a silver medal for the United States at the 2004 Athens Olympics in singles and competed in the Davis Cup from 2002-12....
