After 8 months, Tuesday was my last day with
@PFLMMA
.
I can’t thank my team and the fighters enough for making this the most fun and rewarding experience of my career.
I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to help grow the brand by doing what I love and by just being myself.
This is infuriating.
My friend was late on rent due to lack of work from COVID. Because of the eviction moratorium, his landlord retaliated by posting copies of his and his kid’s mother’s drivers licenses, along with other tenants and the amount they owe on a “Wall of Shame.”
Twitter, you're awesome.
Enough people have asked how they can help, so I created a GoFundMe. The money will go towards paying his debt and relocating his family to new housing.
He would never ask for this kind of help, but he deserves it. Thank you ♥️
The local news did a story on it, so since her information is already out there, I have less hesitation to put the landlord’s name on blast:
Robin McNeely from Charlotte, NC
me: i hate the patriots
patriots fan: how can you hate the greatest dynasty ever?! look at our record! tom brady is the goat! you're just jealous of how awesome we are and how we do our job and win all the things and your team is bad! lol SAD
me: you are why i hate the patriots
He has been trying to pay her additional amounts with each rent check to pay off what was owed now that he’s back working, but she will only accept the amount in full.
He is scared for his kids and their mother and has been working his ass off to save enough money to move out.
As disturbing and disgusting as these allegations are — though not at all shocking — this is so much bigger than the trash that is Dave Portnoy.
Don't forget the sellouts — the stoolies, advertisers, sports leagues and investors who knowingly empower him.
PUPDATE: Day One of physical therapy is in the books and
#Bowi3
did GREAT! Thank you to everyone who chipped in to help us get this little guy zooming on all threes again 💙
UPDATE: I told my friend about the GoFundMe last night and he was in shock. He is extremely grateful for the support and talked about his aspirations of one day owning a food truck and saving money to open up an enrichment center that offers free daycare to single working moms.
So, I realize everyone was expecting an update on the sleeping man.
Following halftime, I hesitantly walked up to introduce myself and asked him for an interview to find out more.
He was clearly annoyed and said “absolutely not.”
I would say he needs to relax, but ... 🤷🏻♀️
Last internship cycle I received 175+ applications. Only 3 of them were from women—THREE! They didn't get the job because they accepted another opportunity or weren't as qualified as other candidates, but they had to compete against 172 men—and you think Ed Werder's ratio is bad.
By unanimous decision, the quote of the night goes to
@Tyson_Fury
:
"Wilder is the biggest puncher in the history of our sport — but I've got the biggest balls in the history of our sport."

PUPDATE: We are absolutely floored right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Because of your overwhelming love and support, we‘ve surpassed our goal! Bowie will be able to continue rehab without his parents needing to take out a second mortgage...
@HowieSurfs
My thoughts exactly. He feels like the system is against him and doesn’t know what to do. Tweeting about it was the easiest, quickest thing I could think of to at least bring attention to the situation. I’m livid.
Getting $11 beer showers from fans who you’d think have been supporting the team over generations has made me love watching soccer in the Queen City.
Win, lose, or draw —

Some YouTuber is getting escorted out for flipping off a security guard and is arguing “I’m a famous YouTuber and that’s my signature on YouTube — it’s for the fans” and says he’ll tip him $1,000 to let him stay.
What alternate universe am I in and how do I leave?

Today is Huey’s 9th birthday. He asked if Mike Tyson would give him an autograph.

episode being dark and full of terrors because it was a battle that happened IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THAT IS THE DAMN POINT YOU MUGGLES.
A report Friday says NCAA president Mark Emmert was told in 2010 about more than three dozen reports of alleged sexual assault involving Michigan State athletes.
To the people on message boards commenting on the condition of our stairs (🙄):
1. We're renovating our house and are saving the stairs for last.
2. The lighter colored step is new because I fell down and broke it with my ass.
3. Stop ruining good content with your bad trolling.
Wow. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has donated. We've reached our initial goal (!!!), but if anyone still wants to help, I'm going to figure out how to get additional funding to the other tenants on the board. I'll keep everyone updated with next steps — THANK YOU!! ♥️
SN spoke with
@TeofimoLopez
about the controversial comments (and gestures) made by Bob Arum and Deontay Wilder this week directed towards women in boxing media.
"All women want is just the same respect we get as men." 👊
Every morning for years, my neighbor Wayne gave my pups treats and asked them about their day. He spent so much time with them that his son built a mini patio and bench for him to sit near the fence.
Wayne passed away last week from cancer. My pups still sit and wait for him♥️🥲
I saw Robert Plant trending and was about ready to go into inconsolable hibernation for the rest of the year.
Don’t play with my emotions like that, Twitter. I’m too fragile.
Congratulation hugs for the newest

@penn_state
proud 💙
(and thank you to the reporter who caught this and airdropped it to me)
Any funding beyond our goal will go towards his therapy certification, and anything after that will be donated to
@Tripawd
to help other pups going through similar situations. Good donors 15/10 would hug.

Big things are happening at SN in 2022, stay tuned 🎥
After 6+ years, today was my last day with The Sporting News.
I am truly, extremely grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've had under the SN/TSN/DAZN/Perform brand and for the incredible people turned lifelong friends I've worked with along the way.

This is Bowie. He just had his sixth surgery since April. What started as a broken femur turned into a full amputation of his back left zoomer. It’s safe to say he’s tired of getting his butt shaved. 13/10 click below to help Bowie with his recovery
Biggest disappointment about Tom Brady’s retirement is that he didn’t wait until tomorrow to announce. Would have really made it feel like Groundhog Day.
If you‘ve been following Bowie’s story, you know how ruff the past 5 months have been. Today he had his 6th surgery and will need rehab. Even with insurance, treatment has cost an arm and (literally) a leg. Any help you can provide is beyond appreciated 💙
