Paige VanZant Is A Cowgirl, Rachel Stuhlmann Packs For The Super Bowl & Derek Jeter Can't Do A Cartwheel
The Pro Bowl Games Championship is today
That's right, the "reimagined NFL Pro Bowl Games" have been taking place since Thursday, when they got the games started with the Skills Showdown.
I'm not sure what they've been doing over the last couple of days, maybe playing dress up or painting each other's nails, but today is the all-important "Pro Bowl Games Championship," which is a flag football game.
I can't imagine anyone waiting around to watch this. Not that many used to watch the Pro Bowl before, but at least it was still a version of football with some contact.
Here's a friendly reminder that hitting still took place from the one and only Sean Taylor, RIP. This hit would probably earn him a fine and/or a suspension today.
What a hit. Too bad football players today have evolved into precious porcelain dolls who can't take contact, not even for a Pro Bowl game.
UFC fighter Renato Moicano with an all-time post-fight interview
Yesterday, I finally started watching some basketball. Well, not an entire game yet. I usually ease myself into that, but I kept an eye on a couple of games including Duke-UNC.
I prefer the college game over the NBA and rarely sit down anymore and watch an entire NBA game. That said this was the perfect weekend to start paying attention to some college hoops.
So between watching bits and pieces of College Basketball games and starting to rewatch the first season of Ted, I had to catch up with all the UFC Fight Night action on Twitter or X or whatever you prefer.
UFC fighter Renato Moicano, who is from Brazil, delivered an all-time post-fight interview. After defeating Drew Dober in the octagon, and revealing that his 62-year-old dad just had a baby, he said he planned to celebrate his win by getting his wife pregnant.
Moicano then delivered a message to Americans. He said, "After I'm done with fighting, I will serve as a police officer. I want to be on a SWAT team and I will f*cking kill the bad guys. Make no mistake. There is right and there is f*cking wrong, and people are forgetting about that."
"People are going crazy. That's why I want more kids, people to go to the church and people to respect the f*cking law. Otherwise, this greatest country in the world is going to be a third world country."
Tate McRae stole the show at the NHL All-Star game
A Canadian singer and songwriter stole the show during Saturday's NHL All-Star game festivities. No, it wasn't Justin Bieber, who was on the ice for warm-ups at Scotiabank Arena.
It was Tate McRae, who performed during the All-Star game's halftime. In addition to being a skilled performer, as you can see below, she's also a bit of a hockey fan.
McRae once dated Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger, not an All-Star selection by the way. He was at home fending off rumors on social media that he had cheated on the singer.
Tough weekend all around for Sillinger. His ex made it to an All-Star game before he did. Rumors that he cheated surfaced. Then she went out and stole the show during an intermission.
He's only 20, he has plenty of time to turn things around. Right now it's McRae's time to shine.
If Morgan Freeman grabs you, you let Morgan Freeman grab you
From one young athlete in Cole Sillinger with a lot left to learn to another in Johni Broome. The Auburn big man had his first big lesson on Saturday during the Tigers 91-77 win over Ole Miss.
Broome, who scored 15 points in the win, ended up near the first row of fans after throwing a pass. He didn't know at the time, but one of the fans seated there, who had just grabbed his butt then his jersey, was none other than Morgan Freeman.
When Morgan Freeman grabs you, you let Morgan Freeman grab you. Broome, instead, opted to swat at the 86-year-old actor's hand before realizing his mistake.
Thankfully, he immediately tried to take the swat back and later apologized to Freeman. We wouldn't want to have that hanging over his head going forward.
That's all I've got for today. We're officially a week away from the Super Bowl. Let's have a f*cking week and then enjoy a 49ers win over the Chiefs next Sunday.
