Tom Brady Captures Another Title, Wins Inaugural Fanatics Games and $1M Prize

Tom Brady is a champion once again. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback won the inaugural Fanatics Games at this weekend's Fanatics Fest in New York, earning him a $1 million prize. The all-time great was among 100 celebrities, athletes and fans to compete in the Fantatics Games, which consisted of eight competitions. The eight competitions consisted of activities from different sports, such as quarterback skills, basketball shooting, soccer goal-scoring and baseball pitching accuracy, among other competitions. One of the other competitions was a WWE Superstar entrance. In his WWE Superstar entrance, Brady spat on New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner jersey and ripped former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning's jersey. Manning later interrupted his entrance, jumping on top of him. That entrance helped Brady earn 399.1 total points in the Fanatics Games. Manning was also one of the athletes who participated, finishing in fifth with 314.5 total points as Brady was able to get some revenge over the quarterback who defeated him in two Super Bowls. Brady, a FOX Sports employee, collected his $1 million prize at the Javits Center on Sunday. However, he awarded $5,000 to each of the 50 fans who participated in the Fanatics Games, while the rest of that money will go to charity. Brady's participation in the Fanatics Games was just one of the few viral moments he had from Fanatics Fest over the weekend. On Friday, he struggled to pick out the real Rob Gronkowski in a group of 20 people dressed like his former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate. On Saturday, Brady joined LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, streamer Kai Cenat and Maverick Carter for a live taping of "The Shop." "He's always done things the right way. He's always risen above all the noise and BS and continued to deliver," Brady said of James as he sat next to the Los Angeles Lakers star. "So you're witnessing the greatest ever, and I hope you guys will appreciate that." As for the other participants in the Fanatics Games, UFC fighter Justin Gaethje finished in second with 345.5 points. He won a a Ferrari 812 GTS for his performance. Matt Dennish, a 39-year-old teacher from Pennsylvania, finished with 326 points to place third in the competition. He outscored athletes such as James Harden, Tyreek Hill, Dwight Howard, Gronkowski, Michael Chandler and Micah Parsons, who all finished in the top 20 of the athletes who competed in the event. Harden dressed as Hulk Hogan for his WWE entrance. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was also among the athletes who participated, struggling in the pitching accuracy competition. He finished 36th in the competition. Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter had the worst showing among the athletes who competed at the event, while new Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant finished with the second-worst mark. Durant actually learned of his trade to the Rockets while he was speaking at an event during Fanatics Fest on Sunday. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Hercules' DJControl Mix Ultra is a Mobile DJ Controller for ... Mobiles

In 2025, there isn't much you can't be or do if you wanted to (thanks, technology) – and if becoming aDJ's been on your list, it's never been easier. Enter the Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra: a truly compact mobileDJ controllerthat's made for, well, mobiles. Designed to work seamlessly with smartphones and small tablets, it's the latest addition to Hercules' lineup – and it delivers a ton of features at an accessible price. Weighing in at just 1.9-pounds and measuring 12.4-inches by 6.9-inches, the Mix Ultra is a super portable and lightweight DJ controller that slips easily into most standard backpacks. It's powered by a 1,000 mAh rechargeable battery that can deliver up to 10 hours of use on a single charge, and can recharge to full in one hour. The2025 CES Innovation Award-winning device connects to your phone over Bluetooth LE – the 'low energy' version of Bluetooth that maintains connectivity without using too much power – allowing users to enjoy a cable-free session for longer. It uses your phone as its audio source, letting you load up tracks you have saved on your device or play from popular streaming platforms, and comes with a splitter cable in the box that lets you connect both headphones and speakers to it – splitting the audio channels this way allows you to hear what you're mixing (in your headphones) separately to the master output (from the speakers), although its worth noting that it achieves this by creating two mono tracks. For beginners and hobbyists, at who the Mix Ultra is aimed at, this shouldn't be a big issue, and it's safe to say Hercules isn't trying to target more experienced DJs – or audio purists – with its latest product. The Mix Ultra features eight effects pads that allows users to hot cue, creates loops, play audio 'FX' among other things. One of these pads, 'Neural Mix', lets you isolate a track's stems (its individual elements, like the vocals or bassline) to use these in your own mixes, opening up a world of creativity when it comes to DJ'ing. Another pad provides pitch control, and there's even a sampler pad that allows you to add your own samples, but also comes ready with a few included for you to use. The controller has a tri-band EQ for the low, mid and high frequencies – the same kind of EQ you'd find on most basic DJ mixers – with rubber knobs that turn smoothly. And, for transport, it includes an easily removable protective travel cover that doubles-up as a phone holder once removed: you simply place the Mix Ultra on top of it, like a tray, and a handy slot for your phone takes form toward the rear. It's compatible with both iOS and Android devices and there is a companion app, 'djay', for both platforms – it's free and you can download it on theApple App StoreandGoogle Play Store. While the Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is a far cry from the industry standard ($3,000 to 4,000 USD) controllers you'll find in clubs worldwide, it's also a fraction of the price. It packs several features that make it ideal for those just starting to explore the hobby, and fun enough for more experienced DJs who just want to play around with some beats. The Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is available nowvia Herculespriced at £149.99 GBP / $‌219.99 USD.
