Hard to believe its been 12 years since Justin Bieber, then a 16-year-old sensation, released his first EP, My World. Bieber, now 28, is on tour, behind his 2021 album Justice.

The show is mostly sold out, but resale tickets (starting at $300 each) are available at TicketMaster.com.

March 17

Clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has amassed a conservative following through his books, YouTube videos, and appearances on such platforms as Joe Rogans podcast. (His claims on Rogan against climate change modeling were stunningly ignorant and a word salad of nonsense, according to scientists quoted in The Guardian.) Hell speak Thursday, 7:30 p.m., at Vivint Smart Home Arena; tickets are $59.50 and higher, at TicketMaster.com.

March 19

Real Salt Lake will return to Rio Tinto Stadium to face Nashville SC in Major League Soccer play.

For now, Cardinals appear to be leaning on youth at several positions – Cards Wire

We have not yet finished the first week of NFL free agency, but the Arizona Cardinals have not done much. They have re-signed several of their own players and added one player from outside the organization.

It is still early and they could still sign several players, but it appears that they are willing to lean on some youth in key roles.

Which young players appear to be on their way to a prominent role this coming season, barring other moves in free agency?

The Cardinals have not made any moves on the offensive line, which makes it appear that they are willing to roll with Jones and Justin Murray.

Kliff Kingsbury is already on the record as saying they are expecting a lot from Jones in 2022.

He played guard for the first time and had plenty of ups and downs.

Moore had a limited role as a rookie because of the receivers ahead of him on the depth chart. As of right now, he is slated to be the Cardinals No. 2 receiver after DeAndre Hopkins.

Even if they add someone to play the Z like A.J. Green last season, Moore will at least be WR3.

After being inactive his entire rookie season, he had a few opportunities to play last season and showed there is some potential. As of right now, with the re-signing of James Conner and the departure of Chase Edmonds, he is slated to be the No. 2 running back.

He has some of the same skills and abilities that Edmonds has, so they could be counting on him to be the guy to spell Conner.

Of course, this is still early.

Lawrence has already had a prominent role and was a starter for much of the season. However, with Jordan Phillips gone, the starting defensive line appears to be set with J.J. Watt, Zach Allen and Lawrence.

If you havent caught it from comments about Lawrence by the coaches, they really, really like him.

He just has to stay healthy.

The Cardinals went and released Jordan Hicks, whom Collins was supposed to supplant in the starting lineup as a rookie. Hicks didnt let that happen and Collins saw his playing time and role decrease over the course of the season.

With Hicks gone, the job is Collins to lose.

The Cardinals already relied heavily upon Simmons last season, as he played over 90% of the teams defensive snaps. He was used in a variety of roles.

He again will be called upon to do a lot.

He was already counted on as a rookie to be a starter. He struggled late in the year. But it appears they will roll with him again. Robert Alford, Antonio Hamilton and Kevin Peterson are all free agents. The Cardinals signed Jeff Gladney.

Jordan Peterson: I Got The Damn Vaccine And The Government …

During an interview this week with Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report," Canadian psychology professor and Jungian evangelist Jordan Peterson said he regrets taking the Covid-19 vaccine.

"You know, Canadians who arent vaccinated now cannot leave the country," he reported. "What the hell? Why is that?"

"Look, I got vaccinated, and people took me to task for that. And I thought, 'All right, Ill get the damn vaccine.' Heres the deal, guys: Ill get the vaccine, you f***ing leave me alone. And did that work? No. So, stupid me," he said.

"Thats how I feel about it. So, like, well, I have to get tested for COVID when I come back into Canada. I have to get tested before I leave Canada."

"That might be an issue with the Americans... but the restrictions to get back into Canada are even more stringent... Why did I get the vaccine then, if youre not going to leave me alone?"

"And I don't think the argument that vaccinated people are less contagious is very compelling. So why are the unvaccinated all of a sudden a danger? And i certainly don't get the push to get children vaccinated."

Joe Rogan guest Jordan Peterson says being trans is a …

Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has claimed on Joe Rogans podcast that being transgender is a result of a contagion and similar to satanic ritual abuse.

The controversial host appeared to endorse Petersons theory when he suggested that acceptance of the trans community is a sign of civilizations collapsing during the Jan. 25 episode of Spotifys The Joe Rogan Experience.

Critics once again are calling out the podcast host for having peddled harmful anti-trans rhetoric.

Rogan, 54, implored the controversial pundit and author to share his thoughts on what made an individual trans.

Peterson, 59, described it as a sociological contagion, comparing it to the satanic ritual abuse accusations that emerged in day cares in the 1980s.

The former University of Toronto psychology professor also used his time on Rogans popular platform to oppose Canadian federal Bill C-16, which amended the countrys human rights protections to cover trans and nonbinary citizens. Instead, the former academic made the unsubstantiated claim that opening the boundaries of sex categories would fatally confuse thousands of young girls.

Rogan then referred back to his conversation with British columnist Douglas Murray of the Spectator in September, in which the writer said that trans issues will be seen to be a late-empire, a bad sign of things falling apart.

He had an amazing point about civilizations collapsing, and that when they start collapsing, they become obsessed with gender. And he was saying that you could trace it back to the ancient Romans, the Greeks, said Rogan.

He continued, I think probably its not so much an obsession with gender, its a disintegration of categories as a precursor like so its a marker for if categories just dissolve, especially fundamental ones, the culture is dissolving because the culture is a structure of category.

Rogan concluded by drawing connections to Christian scripture. So, in fact, culture is a structure of category that we all share, so we see things the same way not exactly the same way, because then we would have nothing to talk about, but roughly speaking, we have a bedrock of agreement. Thats the Bible, by the way.

Watchdog group Media Matters has since spoken out about Rogans recent broadcast.

Spotifys Joe Rogan once again peddled harmful anti-trans rhetoric, Media Matters proclaimed Wednesday on its blog, suggesting that social acceptance of trans people is a sign of civilizations collapsing.

This bizarre theory has been an ongoing fixation for Rogan, Media Matters continued, and listed four additional episodes in which the host raised the subject.

Such views have landed Rogan in hot water with his host, Spotify, which took arrows in support of the entertainers freedom of speech as its own staff railed over his transphobic comments.

While Rogan has espoused controversial ideologies regarding the LGBTQIA+ community for years, his controversy du jour has been his COVID-19 denial. Rogan was recently referred to as a menace to public health by one doctor, who co-signed an open letter alongside hundreds of other health care experts decrying the dangerous podcaster last week. Rogan, they pointed out, enjoys an audience of some 11 million listeners.

Mass-misinformation events of this scale have extraordinarily dangerous ramifications, they wrote in their letter.
