The fact that speaking up for innocent children has become controversial tells you everything you need to know about the world we live in. Ms. Rachel isnāt pushing an agenda, sheās showing humanity. No child should be freezing, starving, or suffering, and nobody should have to apologize for caring
I get Izzy has been bad lately, but I donāt think heās going to lose a striking fight to Shara (allegedly 1 eye sees well, 1 eye doesnāt).
Would be a massive upset imo. Mortal max on izzy!
UFC Fight Night Opening Odds:
Shara Magomedov (+173)
Israel Adesanya (-205)

Curtis never let that define him. Went on to be a staple of the heavyweight division and wrestle in college before that. Shout out Razor Blaydes @RazorBlaydes265
š¢š Curtis Blaydes: "My experience in grade school with girls was not enjoyable."
"And that was one of the reasons why I went to boys only school. When you put girls around boys, and boys want to make them laugh.
What's the easiest way to make them laugh? Talk about the guy who has a stutter (points at himself)."
So he has 1 fight left? It would explain why heād prefer morales and prates to fight each other.
If not, then yeah, idk why he pulled out.
TLDR:
Fuck field goals⦠go for tuddies only. No spins by long snappers necessary.z
3.8mm is a lot for bad football (punting/field goals).
The Jaguars gave a guy a $3.8 million contract to make a football spin the right number of times.
His name is Ross Matiscik, he's the highest-paid long snapper in NFL history, and getting that spin right is most of his job. Morgan Cox, another All-Pro snapper, told ESPN his number on field goals is three and a half spins. When it's humid out or the game's at altitude, he scoots his feet closer to the holder or farther back, just to keep it at three and a half.
Here's why these guys obsess over it. The ball has to show up with the laces in the exact right spot so the holder can slap it down with the laces facing the goal posts. If they come in sideways, the holder has to twist the ball while the kicker is already running at it. Snap to kick takes about 1.3 seconds, so there's no time to fix anything.
Now do the math. Seven yards at 35 mph is about four tenths of a second in the air. Fitting three and a half spins into that means the ball is turning around 500 times a minute. If the spin is off by a tenth of a turn, the laces land two inches from where they should be. That gives him roughly a 3% margin for error, and the second the ball leaves his hands he has to pop up and block somebody.
That's the same skill Connor Pay is showing off here, from shotgun. He started 41 games at center for BYU and coaches there now. When his snap gets there, the laces are already under the fingers, right where you'd grip it to throw.
Pay said on a podcast before the 2025 draft that on an under-center snap, the spot where the ball lands is a little different for every quarterback, depending on how long his arms are and how he's built. So the really good centers learn one specific guy's hands and snap to them.
Quarterbacks notice right away when it goes wrong. On a quick pass, every split second spent spinning the ball around to find the laces is time the defense gets for free. Snapping it perfectly is hard enough that Michigan and North Carolina went to something called the dead snap. The center palms the end of the ball and sends it back with barely any spin, mostly so bad snaps stop killing drives.
A ball spinning 500 times a minute has to land on a two-inch spot in less than half a second. The great ones do it so often that you only learn their names the day they miss.
#1 overall picks mostly go to shit teams. Our societal expectations of instant success needs to be studied. Prolly has to do with clicks/likes/short term attention spans, but Cam Ward is solid and will only keep getting better. Not bad for a not sought out prospect (out of hs), to make it to #1 overall, To now have results in nfl.
Truly am happy for him and hopeful for his continued success.
You asked for it, you got it!!! Lots of ppl asking for a #StudyBall of #CamWard from last week: ābest game heās played as a proā IMO! After breaking it down - IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT (and some good teaching in it as well)! And should be watched by everyone⦠itās that good!

Itās an āissueā because the proxy bets were winners.
If he lost, theyād gladly have no issues
The Ringer founder Bill Simmons allegedly made $21,800 in proxy bets through FanDuel using his daughterās boyfriend in Massachusetts.
State regulators are investigating the 22 wagers and plan to hold a hearing on how FanDuel handled the situation.

Two of the greatest trash talkers of all time.
But who was the bigger star? Who was greater in their respective sport?
Conor McGregor
Vs
Muhammad Ali
I think the answers to both of those questions are a lot closer than most would think.
Conor brought in racks, double champ, highest ppv sell in all of sport. Muhammad Ali, trailblazer and elite heavyweight. Maybe not the greatest of all time, but combined with his impact, he is a bigger star?
And obviously, both ELITE showmen.
Only considering credentials/impact on sport (not personal beliefs, allegations, convictions). I think we all agree who was better human being.

Could a subtle tell from Jacksonvilleās left guard help Baltimore hang around in this game?
Jacksonville LG #75 Pregnon has a significant stance tendency in shotgun on early down normal situations:
2 point stance: 90.2% pass (46 of 51 plays)
3 point stance: 60.4% pass (32 of 53 plays)
This is the type of information that could allow Baltimoreās defense to get a jump on the play and gain a distinct advantage before the ball is even snapped.
This Bubba Gump offense by Baltimore @Ravens is not going to work⦠surely there are some plays they can call that are better than this
Those that joked of Kyler quitting/losing interest when the new Call of Duty drops have been proven right again.
Guy would rather drop in a battle royal situation than drop in a pass to Jettas.
If only the Vikings didnāt get rid of the grownup in the qb room (Nine).
More people need to realize @bullyb170 is such a good dude.
If someone can laugh at his or her self, thatās a great character trait.
Seems really high stakes for the coach to air this dirty laundry.
Basically telling the former top pick, āperform, or be replacedā.
Some of the offensive line play heās had to deal with has been horrendous.
Weāve seen talented running backs go to better OLineās and perform.
Mike Washington Jr. and Ashton Jeanty will have their respective workload determined "on a week-to-week basis," per head coach Klint Kubiak.

I like Buckley. And he has some merit to his points.
But do I think itās a coincidence heās stirring shit up before his last fight? Noā¦
Bro is trying to keep options open and name in the headlines. @Newmansa94 where was this at before you announced your next fight will be your last fight?
Sounds like this beef has been brewing.
Can we get to the impeachment proceedings now? Limited but not exclusive, please get all of these people out:
Pete Hegseth
Donald Trump
JD Vance
Scott Bessent
Howard Lutnick
Marco Rubio
RFK Jr
Todd Blanche
Doug Bergum
Brooke Rollins
Scott Turner
Chris Wright
Linda McMahon
Doug Collins

Get them all out of here!

Richard Sherman on SB broadcast team. Idk if itās even possible, but itās a perfect fit.
Stanford guys are smart but heās smart and can simplify it for the Laymanāsā¦
