Such was the case when he once played a round of golf with pro golfer Brooks Koepka in South Florida. Koepka, speaking with Scott Van Pelt on “SportsCenter” on Monday, recalled the time he made the regrettable decision to talk trash to Jordan....

If the E.M.M.I. catch Samus, Nintendo has revealed it will be an immediate death and game over. Samus can stun her pursuers with well-timed melee attacks, and eventually she can utilize temporary Omega weapons to defeat the E.M.M.I. However, her best option more often than not is sneaking around the shadows to avoid their gaze.
