FRIDAY: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson—8 PM EST, NETFLIX
Hey 911, the betting public want to report a possible homicide.
Mike Tyson is stepping again into knowledgeable boxing ring at age 58 to battle YouTuber turned boxing star Jake Paul, who’s 27. The YouTuber began boxing again in 2020 and has fought principally MMA fighters and fellow “celebrities” in non-sanctioned boxing matches.
That is totally different. Each battle camps agreed to a sanctioned bout with modified guidelines (shorter rounds, no headgear and heavier gloves). Netflix has promoted this battle all yr as a part of the platform’s aim to run extra reside occasions sooner or later.
If any boxing match took cues from skilled wrestling, it’s this one. Jake Paul’s embraced being the “unhealthy man” of this battle whereas Tyson appears to embrace the babyface position during which he’s discovered himself.
Jake Paul’s good at speaking individuals into the constructing if for no different purpose than to see him presumably get his ass kicked. And Tyson’s giving interviews the place he says his youngsters are lastly going to see one thing particular about their previous man Friday evening. That’s not the speak I’d count on from a person doing this for a payday.
Name me loopy however I feel Tyson embarrasses Jake Paul throughout the first three rounds.
No less than that’s what the child in me actually desires to see.
SATURDAY: Tennessee vs. Georgia—7:30 PM EST, ABC/ESPN+
People may’ve simply offered me on the Vols needing to consider a loss to Georgia this season. There’s three groups that historically have Tennessee’s quantity, and Georgia’s one which appears handy the Vols their asses yearly.
Then Donald Trump acquired re-elected President. I made a prediction the following morning that Tennessee would go into Athens and beat Georgia by two touchdowns. Hell, something can occur at this level.
Subsequent factor I do know, Ole Miss beats UGA in Oxford. Georgia QB Carson Beck’s been on a nasty run of throwing interceptions every sport and he’s going to take care of a protection that one QB has completed a sport towards and has held groups to twenty factors or much less ALL YEAR. The Dawgs look human for as soon as.
The query for UT is whether or not Nico Iamaleava will begin. Nico went down late within the first half final week and didn’t return for the remainder of the sport, leaving the duties to backup Gaston Moore. Since then, Josh Heupel stated Nico will likely be able to go Saturday evening and the removing from the Mississippi State sport was a precaution to get him prepared for Georgia, however there’s lots of suspicion Nico’s coping with a nasty concussion and gained’t play.
Both method Heupel will get to record Nico as “questionable” till Saturday evening now, which is able to maintain individuals in Athens guessing.
I say Nico or no Nico, that is the second the Vols slay the Georgia dragon and humble the Dawgs on their dwelling turf. That is the second followers reside for. Sure, the final time I wrote in regards to the Vols and Georgia right here, the Vols acquired stomped badly. However this yr’s totally different, proper? Proper?
My liver will not be ready for the quantity of alcohol I’ll have to devour to get via this sport.
SUNDAY: THE PATRIOTS LOSE AGAIN AND TOM BRADY QUESTIONS WHY HE BOUGHT A PIECE OF THE RAIDERS—Numerous occasions, numerous networks.
I’ve paid jack all consideration to the NFL this yr as a result of my New England Patriots have a very abysmal document. Coach Jerod Mayo’s acquired lots of work to do rebuilding.
It may very well be worse although—you may be Tom Brady proudly owning a minority stake within the Las Vegas Raiders. Severely, what was Brady pondering there? Did he not see how shitty the Raiders had been when he beat them? Has he not heard of a return on funding?
Wait, this was a revenge buy after he discovered Gisele was fucking her BJJ coach, wasn’t it? That explains the whole lot.
That’s all for this week, of us. See you subsequent Friday!
