'Mr Carey is prescribed anti-inflammatories and pain killing medicine to help manage the significant pain caused by debilitating football injuries - including a shoulder that needs replacing and a neck injury that requires three discs to be replaced,' he said upon taking up the Carey case. 

But the big surprise from NFT.NYC was how unaffected everyone seemed to be by the brutal market. Everyone I spoke to -- even the guy down $100,000 -- was enthusiastic about the industry's future. A few were blue about their short-term pain, but everyone was resolute that things would thrive long term. 

Over the next few years, there will be several high-profile media releases born out of the blockchain. A fantasy-themed NFT collection called Forgotten Runes Wizard Cult is using some of its profits to finance an eight-episode anime series written by the creator of John Wick. Reese Witherspoon's production house has plans to make a TV show and movie for World of Women, an NFT collection focusing on female empowerment. 

But while most parents recognize brands like Monster and Red Bull as energy drinks, experts warn gaming supplements could be mistaken for a protein shake because they are diluted in a gym shaker bottle.

Dr Cecilia Melendres, a pediatric sleep expert at Johns Hopkins University, told DailyMail.com that the rise in video game supplements was 'definitely is a major factor' in the current sleep crisis facing among US children and teens.

The megastar went on to sing Affleck's praises in her popular newsletter On The JLo. 'It's not just to your own kids,' she gushed, 'but also without obligation to mine as well. You show up and put them first always. You are affectionate and engaged in every moment they are with you.'

It's been a long few years for AFL players who have dealt with strict COVID restrictions - so many have headed to exotic overseas destinations to let their hair down with the 2022 season done and dusted.

The marketing tactics employed by some brands around the convention were comically unscrupulous. An anti-NFT protest broke out in New York, with people waving signs like "God hates NFTs." It got plenty of play on social media, but ended up being a marketing stunt to promote an NFT collection. 

The Oscar winner has been candid about his alcoholism in recent years, opening up to : 'People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they're trying to make go away. You're trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse.'

Fall spirit: Ben Affleck was seen alone on Friday in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old star seems to be favoring beige lately after he was caught wearing what appeared to be the same sweater on Wednesday while out and about running errands.

And just when things looked on the up for 2016, the Eels were struck down by allegations of salary-cap rorting that eventually led to the stripping of 12 points and a complete restructure of their administration.

Then there's Cool Cats. Instead of an extravagant party with an expensive headliner, founders Colin Egan and Evan Luza (or Clon and Elu, as they're known online) erected Cooltopia. Open to the public throughout the day, it was a family-friendly activation that featured Pkv Games like a treasure hunt and a floor-is-lava obstacle course. Attendees earned points for playing these pkv games, and could redeem them for merch and food. 

The team has amassed millions in royalties, illustrating the potential upside of crowdfunding via NFT sales. But there is a downside. The NFT market runs almost entirely on speculation and hype. As Strauss put it to me, there's a segment of the crypto and NFT market that looks an awful lot like gambling addiction. That means people who buy NFTs can often be more interested in announcements that drum up hype than they are in legitimate brand building. 

Bored and Dangerous embodies much of what proponents claim as benefits of Web3. It's not just that a character was created out of NFT art. Jenkins has his own NFT collection called the Writer's Room, where each of the 6,942 NFTs act as keys to a Discord group. People in the Writer's Room were able to cast votes on which way Strauss took the story. One of the first votes was on what Jenkins' motivation for telling his story was. Options included owing bad debt to financiers, fear of losing his job, potential trouble with the law or -- the winning option -- that he'd become convinced that the fate of the Yacht Club was in his hands. 

Collingwood appear to be putting in a nomination for Best team of the offseason; with bad boy Jack Ginnivan and several teammates appearing to enjoy a few beers at Oktoberfest in Germany, while Jamie Elliott and Darcy Moore took part in tamer European holidays. 

Magpies skipper Scott Pendlebury and glamorous wife Alex posted shots from the Waiyanitu Waterfall in Fiji, with the power couple looking like they were having a blast have a swim with children Jax and Darcy.
