Doechii shares official video for ‘Anxiety’

Doechii has unveiled the official music video for her latest single, “Anxiety.”

The video, directed by James Mackel, follows Doechii through a lavish, high-end residence, where an attentive staff tends to her every need. Despite the glamorous backdrop, unsettling moments unfold — from a blazing kitchen fire and an intimidating Doberman to a crashing chandelier and sudden intruders shattering windows. She briefly escapes to the street seeking solace, only to be surrounded by a flash mob of over 100 dancers.

The video also pays tribute to Gotye — whose 2011 smash hit song “Somebody That I Used to Know” is heavily sampled on the track.  Doechii is shown at one point looking over to see a man and woman done up in geometric body paint to match a wall in the house (a direct homage to the “Somebody That I Used to Know” music video).

Since its debut last month, Anxiety has racked up over 272 million global streams, including 85 million in the U.S., and generated more than 23 billion views across social media platforms. The song also marks Doechii’s first single to break into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, currently climbing the charts across multiple formats — it’s in the top 20 at both Top 40 and urban radio, and top 10 at rhythm radio.

ESPN ‘College GameDay’ analyst Lee Corso to retire in August

ESPN announced on Thursday that longtime analyst Lee Corso will retire from the college football pregame show College GameDay on Aug. 30. Corso, who will turn 90 on Aug. 7, has been part of the show for 38 years, joining in 1987.

Corso said in a statement released by ESPN: “My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and College GameDay for nearly 40 years. I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement. ESPN has been exceptionally generous to me, especially these past few years. They accommodated me and supported me, as did my colleagues in the early days of College GameDay. Special thanks to Kirk Herbstreit for his friendship and encouragement. And lest I forget, the fans … truly a blessing to share this with them. ESPN gave me this wonderful opportunity and provided me the support to ensure success. I am genuinely grateful.”

ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said: “Lee Corso has developed a special connection to generations of fans through his entertaining style and iconic headgear picks. Lee is one of the most influential and beloved figures in the history of college football and our ESPN team will celebrate his legendary career during his final College GameDay appearance this August.”

Yahoo Sports reports that Corso – the former Louisville, Indiana and Northern Illinois coach – has been a part of “GameDay” ever since the show started, traveling to different campuses in 1993. Corso is widely known for his headgear picks and “not so fast, my friend” retort when he disagreed with someone on the panel.

Corso has dealt with health issues in recent years after he suffered a stroke in 2009. He has held a reduced role on the show after the stroke caused him to have issues with his speech. He has also missed various shows in recent years due to other ailments. ESPN’s location for Corso’s final show — an edition that will be a tribute to his career — is still to be determined, and additional programming to celebrate Corso is planned in the days leading up to that weekend.

MLB suspends Nationals’ pitcher Jorge López three games for throwing at Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen

Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that they have issued a three-game suspension to Washington Nationals reliever Jorge López for “intentionally throwing at outfielder Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates” during Wednesday night’s game.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez has also been suspended one game, with López and Martinez both fined as a result of the incident, which resulted in a benches-clearing brawl in the bottom of the seventh inning of the Pirates’ 6-1 win.

The incident in question occurred with the Pirates leading 2-0; with two outs and runners on first and second in the bottom of the seventh inning, López first hit DH Bryan Reynolds in the side with a 93 mph fastball. The next batter up, McCutchen, faced a 1-1 count when he had to dive out of the way of a 92.2 mph fastball high and inside, narrowly missing McCutchen’s head. The near-miss triggered both benches to clear (no punches were thrown) and López was ejected from the game. The tense moment followed an incident the day before, when Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller struck Nationals infielder Paul DeJong in the head with a fastball, fracturing his nose.

López issued an apology after the game, telling The Washington Post that both pitches got away from him and he wasn’t trying to hit either batter: “I apologize for everything … I didn’t make any purpose pitch right there. I’ve been trying to find my way with my delivery, been trying to find my way through the whole season. It’s really miserable to have that happen. I regret what just happened.”

López allowed two hits and four runs over 2/3 innings in Wednesday’s loss. He owns a 10.57 ERA through eight appearances this season.
