20 fictional homes we've all dreamed of living in

Home is where the heart is — at least, that’s what the sign in a 60-something-year-old's living room says. In reality, home is where you can afford to put your things. In a perfect world where money was no option, though? People everywhere would have the opportunity to make their wildest dreams come true by parking their moving truck outside one of the following abodes because these are the best fictional homes that everyone has dreamed of living in.

Long before Barbie hit the big screen, people were imagining their lives living in that Dream House based solely on the toy. However, thanks to the movie, fans got closer to making that move a bit more realistic. Does anyone think the set is still up somewhere?

The only drawback of living at Hogwarts would be if a student were enrolled there at the same time who had beef with some adult whose name couldn’t even be said.

This might not seem that cool to those who grew up in cities like New York and Chicago, but having a restaurant downstairs from a living space would be the ideal spot for any and all foodies.

Getting to live there would, in turn, mean that a person is a mutant and has some awesome power. Yeah, having to defend the world would be a lot, but free room and board is the trade-off.

A loft that size in Los Angeles? Thank goodness this is a “money’s no option” fantasy, or else people would need way more than a few roommates to afford that grand space.

There is so much to love about Netflix’s Sex Education, but right now, the home that Gillian Anderson’s character has needs to have a spotlight on it because it is simple yet intriguing all at the same time.

Browns quarterback race has now dramatically changed

Browns quarterback race has now dramatically changed

The Cleveland Browns are a step closer to finding their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. The Browns had a four-way race for the QB1 job entering training camp. Rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders were long-shot contenders for the gig. The real competition has been between Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco. However, the race has dramatically changed following Pickett's hamstring injury. Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Flacco is now the "strong favorite" to win the starting job, as the veteran has taken advantage of his reps while Pickett remains limited at practice. "Pickett said he’s working '24-7' to get back to full speed but acknowledged he’s losing ground," Jackson wrote. "Joe Flacco’s two best throwing days have been the two most recent days, Friday and Saturday. Neither of the rookies ever had much of a realistic chance to win the starting job this August, and over the last week, Flacco has gone from presumed favorite to strong favorite. What always mattered most was finding the No. 1 — even if that status was going to be in flux at some point — and letting the folks in charge evaluate and decide on the rest of the depth chart and the room. There’s a lot of camp left, and there’s obviously a lot still to be settled with Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Sanders. Flacco's resurgence in 2023, when he won NFL Comeback Player of the Year, was the main reason the Browns made the playoffs that season. His familiarity with Cleveland and head coach Kevin Stefanski makes him the natural choice to start Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, even if Pickett wasn't sidelined for team drills.

DK Metcalf makes huge claim about Steelers defense

DK Metcalf makes huge claim about Steelers defense

D.K. Metcalf has faced plenty of steep competition through his first six NFL seasons, both during games and practice, but the star wide receiver has noticed something different in his first training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers. During an interview with Ian Rapoport and Steve Smith of NFL Network on Sunday, Metcalf discussed some of his first impressions of the Steelers. He spoke about how challenging it has been to go up against cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay every day. When asked how the practice competition compares to what he saw with the Seattle Seahawks, Metcalf made a bold claim about his new teammates. "You don't want my opinion, because I think they're the best defense I've ever seen," Metcalf said. "There's some dogs everywhere on the field, and I tip my hat to them because they come to work every day and we don't have any choice but to get better." There is no question that the Steelers should have one of the best defensive backfields in the NFL on paper. While they sent five-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins in the Ramsey trade, their cornerback trio of Ramsey, Porter and Slay is as talented as any in the league. The Steelers allowed 20.4 points per game last year, which ranked eighth in the NFL. Their pass defense surrendered 228 yards per game, which only ranked 25th. If Metcalf's assessment is accurate, Pittsburgh should show great improvement against the pass in 2025.

Milwaukee Brewers: Nestor Cortes Makes Big Admission About Sudden Trade to Padres

Milwaukee Brewers: Nestor Cortes Makes Big Admission About Sudden Trade to Padres

As it turned out, veteran pitcher Nestor Cortes’ time with the Milwaukee Brewers was just a short one. Cortes, who was acquired by the Brewers via a trade with the New York Yankees in December and signed a one-year, $7.6 million contract with the Brewers nearly a month later, has been sent by Milwaukee to the San Diego Padres ahead of last week’s trade deadline. Cortes opens up about trade from Milwaukee Brewers to San Diego The 30-year-old Cortes recently shared how he learned he was on the move to San Diego, which came just minutes before he was to board the team bus for a road trip. “It’s been a little crazy, I was in Milwaukee and flew in last night,” Cortes said on Monday (h/t Marty Caswell of The Sporting Tribune). “But as soon as I got traded, a bunch of people reached out and made me feel like I was really welcomed here. And walking into the clubhouse today, obviously a lot of guys came up to me and presented me to all these places that we have here. It’s amazing for me now. Just happy to be here, happy for the opportunity.” Getting traded wasn’t exactly a surprise for Cortes, and he also seemingly got to an ideal situation with the Padres despite parting ways with a Milwaukee squad that is leading the big leagues in the standings with 67 wins through Sunday. “I was a little surprised. Even though I felt if there was a chance to get out of Milwaukee, it was going to be to a contender and I’m just happy to be here and happy to compete,” added Cortes. “I want to get the ball every five days hopefully and be able to give the best that I can.” Cortes appeared in only two games with the Brewers, as he landed on the 15-day injured list with an elbow flexor strain before getting placed on the 60-day IL.

Cleveland Browns Add Mammoth 6-foot-7 Offensive Lineman

Cleveland Browns Add Mammoth 6-foot-7 Offensive Lineman

The Cleveland Browns could definitely afford to add some more depth along their offensive line, and they did just that by bringing in a very intriguing piece to start the week. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com has revealed that the Browns have claimed offensive tackle Kilian Zierer off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons, and the most interesting part here is that Zierer stands 6-foot-7. Zierer played his collegiate football at Auburn between 2020 and 2022, but went undrafted in 2023. He made his way over to the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent, and the following year, he was designated as an international player as part of the International Player Pathway Program. The 25-year-old, who hails from Germany, did not actually play in any games for the Texans, however, instead spending time on their practice squad. Zierer signed with the Falcons back in February. Whether or not Zierer will actually have a chance to make Cleveland's roster remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that he is obviously a serious physical presence. The Browns currently have Dawand Jones and Jack Conklin penciled in as their two starting tackles, and they did sign Cornelius Lucas as a depth piece in free agency. However, behind those players, Cleveland could absolutely stand to bring in some more bodies. With training camp now in full swing, Zierer will certainly have to put together quite an impressive run in order to nail down a spot on the 53-man roster before the regular season begins.
