@zombiemanjay It’s the Heroes of Wrestling for MMA… there’s one relevant fight on the entire card, that’s it.
Who’s excited to see a totally washed Anthony Pettis face an even more washed Tony Ferguson?

@erikkain Why do Prime writers especially seem to think "...and then he killed them all" is a satisfying character arc? or mystery reveal? or heist plan?

All of this Alan Ritchson drama reminds me that Reacher is one of those shows that I really, really want to like but just can't because of how poorly it's written. He's great in the role (though he got too big) but they've mangled every script after Season 1.

@tvBartonek Larkin vs Jackson is the only one even approaching a relevant fight between two fighters who aren’t impossibly washed.

UFC hate is at an all time high right now (much of it warranted) but the takes on this card are hilarious.
This card stinks. Like really bad.

@nicoledmaher @redsteeze @emzanotti You'd think but the client eventually does have to agree to it... all it takes is one idiot convincing him that the conspiracy shit will fly in court to make this into a circuit and put the needle on the table.
English
@redsteeze @emzanotti His attorney just lost a much easier, far more reasonable doubt, extremely high profile case, he’d be smart to take a plea.

Honestly, I think Tyler Robinson will eventually plead out on Charlie's murder to avoid the death penalty.
This is setting up for a WHAT WERE THEY COVERING UP AND WHY DID THEY AVOID TRIAL extension of their stupid podcast grift, so it can go on well beyond 2026.
Blake Neff@BlakeSNeff
Tyler Robinson literally confessed to his parents, and was turned in by them, and has his DNA all over the weapon used to kill Charlie. But some people are so obsessed with hating Israel, the same thing they are obsessed with literally every day, that they will try to help a murderer get off so they can keep pursuing their daily obsession. substack.com/home/post/p-19…

@turnertheburna @jedigoodman He let the WWE run an angle on his show and went along with Cody Rhodes when he said pro wrestling was real with zero pushback.
English
@jedigoodman He stopped being a journalist long ago. He's a podcast host and that's fine. Nothing wrong with it.

Ariel Helwani: I am very proud to be a journalist and I take that title, that diploma, I have great respect for it and it's an honor. And, I think that it's very important to conduct yourself in a certain way when you are a journalist.
Not some dude on twitter who sits at home trying to anoint themselves some de facto watchdog over journalists. Like, that to me is hilarious. Those are the funniest people. The de facto watchdog journalists, who have never done anything in the history of journalism or in their "journalism" careers. And now all of a sudden they're the watchdog is the best. That's the funniest. Never done anything. No one wants to work with them. They've not succeeded in any way, shape or form and yet they're the de facto watchdog. And who made them the watchdog? They made themselves the watchdog. Tremendous.

@NotTheirScript @LauraLoomer He's being paid a lot to say what he's saying... at the end of the day, the man is a sex worker and goes to whomever pays him the most.
He'd endorse stabbing yourself in the dick with a needle if there's enough zeroes.
English
@LauraLoomer He emphatically claims he’s a Christian.
I feel like that is a lot more credible than some of the nonsense theories pushed on social media. Especially with the concept of Taqiyya.

I called it last year.
Like I said, I bet he converted to Islam.
Hate me all you want, but you cannot say I am wrong.

@Podcast4corners @AaronWrotkowski @JunkyardAkiyama Rght now he'd be a great VP of Common Sense type. He's the guy in the room you need to say "this is stupid." You need him to be a Paul Heyman type of guy; he's there to help shape guys into main eventers but you don't give him the book.
English
@AaronWrotkowski @JunkyardAkiyama Cornette as a guy who understands the tropes of wrestling and how to get characters or feuds over is very talented. As a booker? No. Hasn’t been good since maybe the 90s.
English
Vince Russo booked a better Invasion. No seriously.
This DVD was a big thing in getting me to no longer think Jim Cornette was the smartest man in wrestling. I ended up watching a lot of SMW and realizing he was a dogshit booker.
Positivity Account.@SoDuTw
The main thing about the WCW Invasion is that Cornette booked it even worse.

@NaptownFresh @TCIIIyeee Basketball's problem is that people aren't watching games, they're following highlights on social media

@TCIIIyeee Naw baseball will never be above basketball. The nba is more of a casual sport to watch vs baseball

Mark Cuban and them boys did all that yappin about the NBA taking over the NFL. There's a legit argument that MLB is ahead of the NBA right now.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA has informed teams that the league is projecting a $165 million salary cap for 2026-27 -- $1M lower than previous outlooks due to a reduction in local media revenue, sources tell ESPN. Minimum salary $149M, tax level $201M, first apron $209M, second apron $222M also $1M lower each.

@jayborschel I remember a study of Canadian kids who did this and it was the same percentage that made the NHL... the biggest factor turned out to be whether or not your dad played in the league.

The ol’ high school redshirt been happening for decades. Would love to see some data on how often this works vs kid doesn’t pan out. IMO, should be highly, highly discouraged.

@BobrickSloan @LingoUnbound There isn't a giant leap up in quality for most from DVD to 4k for like 99% of films and TV shows.
English
@LingoUnbound Cheap to make, old people’s vision isn’t good enough to discern between a DVD and 4k, and since they’re disc format, bluray and 4k bluray players are backwards compatible with them. Makes complete sense.
English
it's crazy that they never phased out DVDs
English
@jonaniksgiggle But people hate UFC cards so much they're going to hype it up like it's the first Affliction show.
English
It’s not hyperbolic to say that this would have been a good UFC card in 2016. But it’s 2026 now. Feasting on the UFC’s rotten leftovers is hardly a flex.

@sasimons @gfienberg17 This is an islamaphobic and likely untrue story.

He seems like a reasonable man. Ritchson, on the other hand, has bipolar disorder and is in his mid 40s terrorizing a quaint neighborhood with his motorcycle.
I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸@ImMeme0
🚨BREAKING: TMZ interviewed the neighbor who was caught on camera being assaulted by Alan Ritchson. He explained that he had asked Ritchson, who was driving recklessly, to slow down so that no one would get hurt. “I walked out in front of him, and I said, ‘You’ve got to stop; someone’s gonna get hurt.’ It escalated quite quickly from there. I did push him because he was coming towards me on his on his bike. He did it again, so I pushed him a second time. I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap out of me.”

@bonchieredstate And anyone in the industry could've told you it was going to happen, too.

Nearly everyone’s health insurance has gotten worse and more expensive since then.
Democrats know that. They just don’t care.
Sen. Maggie Hassan@SenatorHassan
16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, expanding access to quality, affordable health care for millions of Americans. The Trump Administration's decision to undermine this law and increase health care costs for families nationwide puts us all at risk.

@ClayTravis What about professional bodybuilders and the like?

No man can pay for a tan at any point in the year anywhere. Either get one naturally by being outdoors in sunlight — as I have my entire life — or live a life in perpetual paleness. Those are your only two options.
Bobby Burack@burackbobby_
It’s officially the time of year to debate whether straight guys can use tanning salons. Around late March, guys like @ClayTravis live in regions where they get tan (though I’m not fully convinced his tans are natural), whereas guys like me live where it’s still snowing. Should I have to remain pale on camera until mid-June or do I get a pass to tan until then? Serious answers only. Midwestern discrimination is not a joke.

@BillyRayLahey62 @espnmma If you want to complete early, and the rest of your high school season is going to be cakewalk, why not? These guys are getting NIL money and if you don't want to be in HS anymore, and you've got the ability to do so, why not?
English
@espnmma What’s the point of enrolling early for wrestling? There’s no money to rush to in professional wrestling or is there?

@WitCephandrius @bonchieredstate He'll get exactly zero hard questions from that clown.

@bonchieredstate Joe hasn't gone on any show where the host would hold his feet to the fire.
He's completed the grifter podcast tour, maybe Bannon will be next.
Curious how the Shawn Ryan episode will turn out.
English
@BasedCLC He gets paid more in AEW right now to be a top guy than he would in WWE to be a mid-card at best comedy heel. He'll ride that until the WWE calls to have him job out to Logan Paul, etc.
English
So you’re telling me for the rest of his career, he’s 30 right now, so every week until he’s in his late 40s or early 50s, he wants to show up in theaters in front of 2500 people instead of arenas with 10,000+? You’re telling me he never wants to hold the most prestigious wrestling belt of all time? You’re telling me he doesn’t want to walk into the main event of the biggest annual wrestling show in some of the biggest stadiums in America?

MJF was already approached by WWE, and he ended up staying. Come on now...
