It's a parody but this one is real. The 19-year-old AJ Gilbert in this article who is celebrated for making $1 million in two years, his dad (and top "client") Dan Gilbert is worth $26 billion.

Wasn't even Catwoman. It was a minor role she auditioned for. The amount of racial bias that goes into casting for a lot of those roles (and extras too) is whacked out. Slowly getting better, but still whack and often entirely up to the discretion/vision of the casting director.
@mma_orbit
He's most well-rounded HW right now so I think he'd be Jones toughest test. Pavlovich is a power-puncher, Gane a highly technical kickboxer, Jailton a grappling specialist, Blaydes a wrestler. Aspinall is the only young HW that puts all those skills together.
@petergyang
Reminds me of this article. "We started it from nothing" says AJ Gilbert whose top client is Quicken Loans which is his multi-billionaire father's company (Cavs owner Dan Gilbert).

Has to do with how Olympic weightlifting qualifiers work, there's a cut off based on the IWF rankings (and other "at-large" spots for other nations not represented). It's not determined by nation so if Hubbard wasn't competing the next woman up would qualify regardless of country

There's also a weird kind of cultural delusion around the thing. Pro-hitting advocates claim that nobody hits children anymore and blame rising crime on that. Except many parents still use CP, crime isn't rising, and an overwhelming number of violent criminal were beaten as kids.
Iosua Opeta from Weber State, cranks out 39 reps at 225 lbs, which is two more reps than what Buckeye's Mike Jordan and SDSU's Tyler Roemer combined for. No one else has done more than 29 reps so far.

Then why do you think movies/shows should be cast to over-represent white people and cast based on cliche stereotypes as they have been for previous decades?
Hate to break it to you but most cities depicted in movies/shows are ethnically diverse and so are audiences.
Honestly have no idea how Trey Palmer lasted until the 6th round. One of the top players in the country coming out of HS, overshadowed at LSU but wound up at Nebraska where he had 1,043 yards with Casey Thompson throwing him the ball, then blazed a 4.33 40-yard at the combine 😳
One of the most interesting player props for Wk 18: Jared Goff O/U passing yards which opened at 223.5 and is now as low as 208.5 at FD.
Easily the lowest total for Goff all year, with his Week 14 game outdoors at Soldier Field having the next lowest O/U at 235.5. Goff is

Rain is supposed to clear up by gametime for Cowboys vs Bucs but this wind looks brutal for both teams passing games. I liked the Under 52 before, and I love it now!

I honestly think a teenage Vitor beating the tar out of a grown ass Jon Hess 7 inches taller and 60 pounds heavier is one of the most impressive athletic feats in history. Starched Tank Abbot in the first round soon after that too.

Are you "still awaiting those numbers" because you're an idiot who can't use Google? Let me help, there were 427 arrests made in the DC protests from May 30 to June 2. 14,000 total ppl were arrested for the riots across the country.
Khamzhat domination in that one was too predictable. Pretty sure the crowd chanting USA just pissed him off. The perfect heel for the promotion right now.

It's also just a poor choice of words to begin with. Killing ppl isn't some contest with high scores, no need for the media to treat this as some sort of accomplishment and quantify such a heartbreaking tragedy.
Common theme for Purdue the last few seasons. They play dominant in a very tough non-conference schedule but regress a bit at conference time and the spreads are often too big to cover. Boilermakers are 17-32-3 ATS (34.7%) in Big Ten play since the start of the 2021-22 season.

NCAA Tournament reminder:
Last year during March Madness, Unders went 27-9 in the First Four and Opening round.
First Four and First Round games went 18-18 in 2022 but strongly leaned toward Unders again in 2021 going 14-22 O/U.
Keep in mind that the sight lines in larger
Underdogs go 4-0 ATS (3-1 SU) while Unders go 3-1 in Week 1 of CFL betting action to kick off 2021.
Since 2006 underdogs are 134-82-2 ATS in the first four weeks of the CFL season and since 2014 Unders have gone 19-9 in Week 1.

Except Dana White and the UFC wanted Strickland to win. He's extremely popular among fight fans, gives entertaining interviews, and had been built up into one of the biggest stars in the sport.
Week 1 in the CFL ends with a 3-0 game. Went 8-2 overall this week, including 4-0 on best bets (including a +1,200 play on Nathan Rourke anytime TD). Hopefully, we can keep rolling the rest of the year!! 🏈🇨🇦 💰
I'll be giving out my favorite NFL sacks props every week. Depends on what books have available but usually plays for Sunday afternoon, SNF and MNF. Best bets for this afternoon are Aidan Hutchinson (-125 at FD) and Nick Bosa (-120 at b365) to get a sack.

Yep, he had 16 pts and 6 assists in that game vs UCLA. 18 pts, 8 assists, 10 rebounds against USC, and was the Zags best player with 22 pts on 8-15 shooting in the title game. And to the guy who apparently doesn't know, Suggs has been widely considered a Top-5 pick all season.

Lol, I wouldn't describe young Sansa as "sweet" but she seems to have evolved from the self-centered brat she was in the first season.

1. Titans D can't get a 3 and out. Could easily be 28 pts for Buff.
2. Bills 17-5 edge in first downs, 20:15-9:45 in possession. Titans are lucky it's close.
3. Titans need to get into rhythm on offense and not rely on big plays.
Live line: Bills -6.5, O/U 63.5

One of my fave bets is UNC Asheville to win the Big South at +240. I'm also backing USC to make the Final Four at +850.
Check out the plays
@covers
:
My fave Grey Cup player prop is the Under passing yards for Zach Collaros. That was at 276.5 on DK two hrs ago when we recorded but it's already down to 269.5. Someone steamed the hell out of that but it's still available at 272.5 at B365, if you're looking for the best number.
@liobserver
@nytimes
No she isn't, that was a poorly researched lie that has been repeated by conservatives. Either way it's largely irrelevent, every political side is more than capable of having racist members.
@PowellAnalytics
Josh Gordon in 2013. A 22-year-old who racked up 1,646 rec yards and 9 TDs in 14 games with Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden throwing him the ball 😬
Had 1,800 yds and 7 TDs the rest of his career. This four-game run was godly.
NFL Week 17 prop watch:
Saints WR Chris Olave
🔨Over 66.5 receiving yards still available at -110 at B365
🫤 The Over is now -130 at DK while the O/U has moved up to 70.5 at FD
Olave 100+ milestone rec yds is +320 at B365 compared to +230 at FD
Week 18 is a weird one but lots of intriguing angles for bettors even in the games that don't mean much.

🏈 Sam LaPorta o53.5 rec yds (-110)
🏈 Amon-Ra St. Brown o84.5 rec yds (-110)
🏈 Matt Stafford o274.5 pass yds (-110)
In the last 15 months we've seen Amanda Nunes lose her belt to Julianna Pena, Kamaru Usman lose to Leon Edwards, Israel Adesanya lose the MW title to Alex Pereira, and now Valentina Shevchenko lose to Alexa Grasso. The fight game is so hard to stay on top of.
MY 3 THOUGHTS:
1. Calling the Lions offense conservative is extremely generous.
2. Goff 12-13 for just 97 yds at least his lone incompletion was downfield.
3. Dalton consistently finding gaps in that defense. Lions lucky this score is close.

He didn't start from nothing, his first and top client is a company that happens be owned by his father who is worth $26 billion. And most ppl who failed at such a venture wouldn't have the luxury taking failure with "a grain of salt" it's a risk that would ruin them.
@PFF_Steve
I don't know about that. IMO, Trevor Lawrence was a better prospect than Williams and Chase better than Harrison. You could make an argument for Pitts at TE and Sewell as a LT prospect as well...that was just two years ago.
This past weekend was a great barometer for college basketball with arguably four Power Six conferences seeing their best teams face off and the WCC and MWC also seeing a clash of their best. Here are my thoughts on those games and some things we either learned or were confirmed.

Do you really think one guy waving a Nazi flag made the convoy look any worse than the convoy having an openly white supremacist organizer and spokesperson? You know exactly who Pat King is, gonna do anything about it?
Cowboys lay down a marker. This Quinn defense might really get going, esp when DeMarcus Lawrence gets back, and the offense is looking very balanced and dangerous.

Round of 64 tipping off today! LFG!!!!
My fave plays for the first round:
Furman vs UVA u133
Houston 2H -8.5
Gonzaga -15
Texas A&M CC team total u65.5
UConn -8.5
Well that MNF game was sloppy af. Chiefs win but don't come close to covering (🙁), Under 52.5 easily cashes, D Williams Over 16.5 rec yds easily cashes. Chiefs still in trouble with that schedule coming up. They have a lot of issues to figure out.
Line for Houston Cougars vs TCU Horned Frogs is bouncing between -3.5 and -4.5
FanDuel currently has Houston at -3.5 which I bet but I'd play it up to -4.5.
