Morning Report: Ilia Topuria calls Max Holloway’s UFC 300 win ‘nothing special,’ says ‘he is a really easy fight’ in c/[email protected]

A last second KO is pretty special but I get it, Ilia realizes that UFC is an entertainment product. If you create a feud, you’re more likely to get the fight.

71% of Signups for Peacock's NFL Playoff Game Have Stuck Around in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

The worst part is how fractured games already are and how this will incentivize it. There’s already Amazon, Peacock, and whatever bullshit you’re dealing with on cable which is impossible to understand. Even the Sunday Ticket doesn’t cover all of your team’s games and that shit’s so overpriced.

I’ve seen this happen a bunch, unfortunately. A lot of communities with ghosted admins.

This feels like a fever dream of a story.

100%. Really fun player with a high ceiling and is a testament to his mental toughness and focus. I wouldn't want him starting the first year, though. Rookies hopping in are burdened with the league's expectations and just feel like they're more likely to risk injury.

There are some good gambles in later rounds and Darnold can be a bridge guy, absorbing the shock of hitting the league.

FWIW, QB free agency was also ass. The best contract was given to Kirk Cousins so it shows that the real highlights are already locked up in franchises.

Still feels weird to not even see an offer rolled out but looks like they were already looking onto the next. I suppose it's a business, first and foremost. Good FA for the Eagles though.

Yeah, RBs aren't in high demand like that but kinda wild to not even pitch him. I suppose they must've known where he was at and opted to go for Singletary as a result but the Giants are so bizarre to watch.

Despite finishing last in the American League East in 2023 and three times in the past four years, the Boston Red Sox aren't expecting to make any big free-agent splashes to improve their chances of contending next season.

With the Timberwolves’ loss at Dallas, the Celtics now have the NBA’s best record by 3 full games.

The gap between Boston and Minnesota, is bigger than the gap between the #2 Timberwolves and the #7 Clippers.

Belichick, Kraft meeting next week to discuss future (bleacherreport.com)

A quick video outlining three scenarios with Bill’s future after this abysmal season:

  • Mutually part ways
  • Trade Bill for picks
  • Introduce a GM

According to Schultz, Kraft and Belichick are meeting next week to discuss the matter and begin figuring out next steps.

Of course, something has to change but this media circus does feel goofy. My wish is probably to keep Bill but just give him a GM. Let him just do X’s and O’s while having a harder deal maker in the GM office.

Telesco told the group that signing Jackson was a mistake, according to multiple team sources. He apologized for continuing to give Jackson opportunities, despite Jackson routinely showing that he wasn't as committed as the rest of the team while being one of the Chargers' highest paid players.

Telesco called the move a "swing and a miss."

Patriots QB Mac Jones expected to be on short leash Sunday vs. Raiders (www.nfl.com)
 

New England Patriots coaches have stood by starting quarterback Mac Jones, supporting him despite his struggles on the field the past two weeks. With a rough start today against the Raiders, however, that could change.

Sources say Jones is on a short leash, and a poor opening few series could potentially trigger another QB to take snaps in Las Vegas. It's just not entirely clear who would take those snaps if Jones is benched
