Bears suddenly looking like a football team!

Living in Chicago and watching Derrick Rose and the rest of the Bulls during that MVP season and the season after(up until the playoffs) was hands down the greatest time I've ever had as a sports fan. It was magic. I watched or listened to every game. I remember my family got met tickets for fathers day. We were pretty poor, and it was probably the most expensive gift I'd ever gotten in my life. Derrick had been injured for weeks that season because of his back so we didn't expect him to play. I remember the whole arena went fucking bananas during the lineup announcements "AND FROM CHICAGOOOOO!" The only thing I could compare it to was seeing The Rock live on Smackdown in while I was in Miami around 2000 . The guy meant a lot to all of us in the city, and the everything that happened after his ACL tear was a tragedy of epic proportions.

I'm pretty positive I watched all three of these movies within a year of each other. Hook then Sister Act then my mom introduced me to Clash of the Titans and I was like "IT'S THAT LADY". I feel like Maggie Smith is pretty universally beloved. Much like James Earl Jones, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed when she'd show up in a movie. I've never seen the The Prime of Jean Brodie - I'll have to look it up.

Bears finally score a touchdown, which means I'll continue putting these needles into my goddamn eyeballs.

Merab has finally been crowned. It went pretty close to how I imagined it to go. I don't know what the fuck Herb Dean was getting at in those last two rounds.

I don't know if I'd pick Lopes against Topuria, Holloway or Volk, so I guess we're going to see if this is his ceiling or not, because those are his only options.

I anticipated Lopes and Ortega to be fight of the night but they've got an insane mountain to climb now.

Dominic Mysterio and Rey Mysterio at the same event but not sitting next to each other warms my heart.

Lazy Boy Rodriguez is appointment viewing. Great fight.

I think Daniel Cormier summed it up with "How the heck are we supposed to go to Salt Lake City after this?"

Okay the Sphere setup looks pretty cool. I'd heard that the fights, (I'm assuming on the main card) are going to take place like they're on different planets.

James Earl Jones was one of the finest actors America has ever produced. His performances were not drowned in preparation or masked by aesthetics. He simply spoke the words and let the moment be what it was going to be. Natural and without judgement. I'm sure he had the confidence to do so, knowing that his voice was among the greatest instruments in film or theater. Jones had a deft understanding of status, and how to convey it with his body. At 6'2 he looked pretty imposing against most actors, and he understood how to own a room if he desired. But he was also masterful in his capacity to convey weakness and vulnerability, both physically and emotionally, and how to make himself look small. I watch this scene from Fences often. It's mostly because Troy reminds me a lot of my father. But James Earl Jones' portrayal of Troy Maxson helps me understand that kind of man a little more. That's the power of acting, and it can only come from the very best. Performances that help you understand the humanity of people unlike yourself.

Oh shit, just found out my cousin sung the National Anthem before the Bengals game.

Superbowl Superbears. After the game me and my son had to go on YouTube to relive Romeo Crennel yelling "They are who we thought they were!"

BEARS DEFENSE TAKING MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.

Nevermind those bums, how but them Cubs! Doubled our playoff chances from 3.3% to 7.2!

Also, I kinda always dug when he'd drop to a knee doing a powerbomb more than just standing up right. Like of all the powerbomb variants that was is one of the most aesthetically pleasing for me.

100%. Just come in, lay waste, leave. Everyone is left going "Remember that time fucking SID came through and powerbombed all the Von Erichs? We're lucky to be alive!"

This sucks. I'm pretty sure that infamous(probably forgotten by now) "Steel Davey Richards" quote was preceded by me saying we should have more Sid just power bombing fools and fist bumping fans. And I don't mean this to shame any of the current wrestlers in WWE or AEW, but if you dropped prime Sid into either company he'd instantly be the baddest most awesome dude in the company. It's not that he's a better wrestler or anything. It's just his whole look. He just popped off the page. Kinda like the Ultimate Warrior but more relatable? I dunno. Long live the master and ruler of the world. PS. Fuck man even that catch phrase. Like how is a master or a ruler different? They're not really, but only Sid would feel like you need to know he was both.

And just like that the goofy Brazilian kid with the glasses gimmick is in the Top 5 at Middleweight. They grow up so fast.

Angela Hill and Tabitha Ricci just went pedal to the metal for 15 minutes in a very close and fairly entertaining fight. Hill becomes the third fighter to surpass 2000 significant strikes joining Strickland and Holloway.

Wowzers. Great fight, better than expected actually. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Dricus is undeniable now.

Let's go ahead and get Dan Hooker vs. Justin Gaethje in the oven.

I honestly thought there had to be some kind of "clerical error" but they apparently just fired that judge. Hooker/Gamrot did not disappoint. Will probably be fight of the night.

30-27 Tuivasa! One judge needs to give his keys to a designated driver.
