Recap
Big CatThe Rams will be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy
I think the Rams are gonna be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy. But the junk science does make you a little nervous if you're a Rams fan.
PFT CommenterI am officially becoming concerned about Matthew Stafford's availability
Sean McVay last year or last week, he said that Matt Stafford could play in a game if we had one this week. And then today, Sean McVay said, I don't know if Matt Stafford could play right now. So Matt Stafford might have gotten injured in the hypothetical game that he could have played last week. I'm thinking about becoming concerned about Matt Stafford.
Picks
Big CatThe Buccaneers at -110 to win the NFC South is a good bet
I think the Tampa Bay Bucks minus one 10 to win the NFC South is a good bet. I like their offense a lot. I know Tristan Wirfs is out for probably four weeks, but he'll be back.
Big CatEveryone should bet Joe Burrow to win MVP because the media narrative has already started
I think we all have to bet Joe Burrow, MVP because I've already noticed that the narrative has begun of Joe Burrow for MVP. I think the narrative has already started that this is the year he's going to win MVP.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
HankShohei Ohtani cannot win MVP because of the constant controversies surrounding him
I mean it, you can't, if you're the MLB, you can't have Shohei Ohtani with all these controversies being the base of your league. The gambling one, yeah, maybe blame it on the interpreter. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice. We're about to give this guy his fourth MVP in five years. MLB writers really need to do like justice here because they are the keepers of the game.
ZacBattlefield 6 is bringing realism back to first-person shooters
The Battlefield six beta has brought realism back into first person shooter games. They peaked with 520,000 concurrent players only on Steam. Battlefield six, none of [the skins]. We're riding tanks. We're blowing up buildings.
Interview
Taylor SwiftThe Chiefs will make the playoffs and have a deep run despite their tough division
To be honest, I think it really depends on that offensive line and what happens with Mahomes. But Kelsey's still the man. I think they're still gonna make the playoffs and make a deep run.
Dricus Du PlessisGetting into a fight overtrained is worse than going in undertrained
The biggest problem here is making sure that you are 100% on it when it comes to over training. 'cause getting in there overtrained is even worse than getting in there undertrained to be honest.
Dricus Du PlessisMy fighting style is educated chaos that the world of MMA is still playing catch-up to
I think you guys are only criticizing my style where you should be taking notes instead. This is not just him going crazy. This is actually an educated scramble or an educated combination. Even though it looks different to what we used to, now they're playing catch up.
Dricus Du PlessisIt would take at least 10 world-class UFC fighters to kill one silverback gorilla
A hundred of me will kill that gorilla. But we would need at least 10 [UFC fighters]. We would need at least 10. One guy is gonna have to sacrifice it, man. Yeah. You need one guy to sacrifice maybe two then you need one to be able to grab the back. I'll just keep on choking until it dies.
Dana WhitePay-per-view is definitely not dead
Pay-per-view isn't dead. I mean, I'm gonna do a pay-per-view this Saturday. And when we were doing this deal, you know, even with the streaming services that we were talking to all the different ones, some of them still had pay-per-view options. So pay-per-view is not dead. That's not true.
Dana WhiteFighter pay has increased with every new deal and will continue to go up with the Paramount Plus deal
Since 2001, the day we bought this company fighter pay has gone up. Every new deal that we've done, fight, pay has gone up and obviously fight or pay will go up for this deal. It's incredible for the fighters.
