The Chargers quarterback gave a sly gesture to the camera on his way to meet with reporters at media day.
Justin Herbert is one of the NFL’s fastest-rising stars, but the Chargers quarterback has a hard time getting comfortable in the spotlight.
Despite playing in Hollywood, he shies away from the prying eyes of the media and was visibly displeased to have a camera trained on him while preparing to speak to a reporter at the Chargers’ media day on Monday.
On his approach to the set of the interview, Herbert can be seen slyly flipping the bird at the camera.
Herbert’s desire to keep to himself relative to the prying eyes of the press and the Chargers’ social media team is well documented. Still, the earnest nature of the interactions makes for great content. Perhaps he will someday get his wish to be left alone but for now, he will have to get away with whatever he can to get the cameras pointed in another direction.
The Miami Dolphins are trying out new technology to help QB Tua Tagovailoa with film study
Modern-day technology has changed so much about sports and the way we can assess things in real-time. In soccer, the use of a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) has become incredibly crucial for making calls in important moments while on the other hand, the NFL uses Microsoft tablets on the sideline to watch the games as they are still being played.
The Miami Dolphins took it all a step further this offseason by placing a camera on the side of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s helmet during Organized Team Activities (OTA’s). It is just another tool that the Dolphins are trying to use to help with decision-making and seeing what Tua sees during reps and dissecting it in the film room. The former Alabama signal-caller has been relatively efficient at this point in his career with a completion percentage of 65.7% and 52 touchdowns to 23 interceptions.
McDaniels said of the Dolphins technology, âItâs not anything earth-shattering, itâs a camera, but it does have audio, and I think some of the strong attributes of that technology are that you get to hear play calls, you can library those play calls for players to hear when theyâre studying. Itâs a tool to help really drive home certain coaching points and just see what theyâre seeing, to be on the same page as the player.”
Tagovailoa was outstanding to start the 2022 season as he won eight of his first nine starts, but after multiple, vicious concussions, he only played in 13 total games for the season and even missed their Wild Card game. He finished the season completing 64.8% of his passes, 25 TD to only eight INT, and a QBR of 105.5.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Tua Tagovailoa leading into the 2023 season.

Los Angeles Lakers veteran guard Patrick Beverley continues to be one of the NBA’s most signature personalities.
On Saturday night, he earned what might be the most epic (and most hilarious) technical foul in NBA history as he tried to defend his teammate LeBron James after an egregious missed call on James at the end of regulation.
On that fateful play, James tried to win the game for the Lakers against the Boston Celtics on the road as the seconds ticked down. As James went up for the bucket, Celtics star Jayson Tatum hit James’ arm on the shot.
Beverley, being one of the sports’ premiere personalities, decided to take someone’s camera (?!) onto the court and seemingly show one of the referees the shot attempt to try and clarity why James should’ve gotten the foul called in his favor.
Of course, the referee immediately got flustered and called the technical foul on “Pat Bev.”

Beverley’s candid camera moment will likely become an instant meme and one of the most talked-about moments in the NBA season.
It’s the dramatic finish that people want to tune in for, and you just can’t draw something like this up. You have James, one of the greatest to ever play basketball, having an all-time (justified!) meltdown after an absolutely bizarre missed call. Then, you have Beverley, the league’s best troll and jokester, taking someone’s camera onto the court to show the refs why they were wrong.
That’s why we love the NBA. You just never know what’s going to happen.
A colorful parrot became curious about a traffic camera in Brazil on Friday, and an Internet star was born.
A colorful parrot became curious about a traffic camera in Brazil on Friday, and an Internet star was born.
The accompanying footage, captured in Curitiba in the state of ParanĂĄ, shows the parrot repeatedly peering into the lens of a CCTV camera as it monitored traffic conditions.
The parrot, standing atop but peering upside-down into the camera, appeared to have been playing peekaboo.
đŚđŚ Sextou! Na manhĂŁ de hoje (29), recebemos uma visita para lĂĄ de especial em uma das câmeras do nosso circuito de CFTV, no km 115 da BR-116/PR, em Curitiba. A espĂŠcie foi identificada como um papagaio – nome cientĂfico amazona aestiva. SĂł de olho đ pic.twitter.com/UwKHeaT8E1
The species was identified as a turquoise- or blue-fronted parrot.
The footage was captured by the traffic management company, Arteris Planalto Sul.
Although the ‘special visitor’ was âjust looking,â as the company stated via Twitter, the footage has been widely shared because of its goofy nature.
A photographer has captured footage of a mountain lion trying to make sense out of a motion-sensor camera placed on a remote trail at night.
A Southern California photographer has captured video footage of a mountain lion expressing keen interest in one of several motion-sensor cameras placed on a trail at night.
In Mark Girardeauâs footage, captured this week in the Orange County wilderness, the female cougar initially appears bewildered by the bright flashes.
She then seems to pose, briefly, before cautiously walking around the tripod and placing her face to the back of the camera, as if to peek through the viewfinder.
Girardeau, a renowned photographer from Huntington Beach, told For The Win Outdoors that he had left seven cameras in strategic areas on private property in Trabuco Canyon.
âAt the exact time the camera was capturing the images of the cat, I was at the indoor rock-climbing gym with some friends, 20 miles away,â Girardeau said.

The mountain lion was named Cookie by the landowner. Four of Girardeau’s cameras captured footage of her as she hunted on one of her favorite trails.
âIâve struggled for several years to consistently get mountain lions and finally have been getting a few in a couple different areas,â Girardeau explained. âWhen looking for camera locations, I look for game trails which are paths made naturally by the animals, and I also look for tracks of different animals.â
His footage reveals the stealthy, curious nature of these nocturnal hunters, and Girardeau is fortunate to have had multiple cameras in order to capture this scene.
âThe last time I got a DLSR shot of one, I did not have a second camera recording the reaction on video, so this is cool because otherwise I would have had no idea that it was checking out the back of the camera,” he said.
More than likely, Girardeau acknowledged, Cookie was more interested in his scent than the camera or tripod.

It has been a good day for Texas as they are having a successful NSD. Before the day had even started, Tom Herman started some controversy.
It has been a good day for the Longhorns as they are having a successful early signing period National Signing Day. Before the day had even started, Head Coach Tom Herman started some controversy.
During Longhorn Network’s signing day coverage, they set up a camera in a meeting room. The TV broadcast switched to that camera and caught Herman flipping it off with both hands. After a few gestures towards the camera, he quickly crossed his arms and acted like nothing happened.
You can watch the video here:
@kbohls Just saw this on LHN. Why is Coach flipping the double bird to the LHN camera here? Did he not realize the camera was on? LOL but seems like a great signing day đ¤đ¤ pic.twitter.com/uKI41ltr3k
As usual, Herman is picking up a lot of grief for this act. It is possible that he had no idea that the camera was live and was just having some fun. Other people in the room seem to be laughing with Herman, not taking the incident too seriously.
Despite all of this, Texas has had a great day. They have signed 15 prospects this far, with all but one of their previous commitments signing their national letter of intent. All that remains in five-star running back Bijan Robinson, who is expected to sign with the Longhorns later today.
