UFC Should End ‘Champion vs Champion’ Fights

The UFC is in dire need of marquee fights. They’ve stooped to the level of putting champions from different weight classes in fights, which can lead to a fighter carrying two different titles at the same time. This reduces the amount of title fights they can put together to headline shows. The whole deal is counter-productive in the long-term.

This all started when Conor McGregor faced Jose Aldo on UFC 194 in late-2015. McGregor won that fight and held both the Featherweight and Lightweight titles at the same time. Conor held onto both of those titles for some time, which muddied up both divisions for over a year. UFC President (and current matchmaker) Dana White had to make fights for interim titles at those weights.

Is Trump Hurting Future Non-Traditional Candidates?

Some say that he ignited his candidacy when Obama made fun of him at a White House dinner, but regardless of his motivations, Trump made a run for it and won the presidency. Political pundits dismissed his candidacy, but he defied all odds (or so it seems) to secure the toughest job in the world.

The trump’s bid was fueled by anti-establishment rhetoric. To the people who rallied behind him, he was the candidate who presented concrete solutions to real-world problems devoid of the inhibitions that traditional candidates seem to harbor.

Trump made traditional candidacy, embodied by Clinton, look so out of touch with everyday problems like illegal immigration and high unemployment rates that people were willing to overlook his gaping flaws to elevate him to the presidency. His methods, however, may make it tougher for another non-traditional candidate to make it to the White House for the following reasons:

2018 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

Week 17 hasn’t been very eventful the last couple of years. There wasn’t even worth a flex last year and there wasn’t a game on Sunday Night Football.

The Colts/Titans game was flexed to Sunday night this year. The winner of that game will earn a playoff spot. If the Texans lose to the Jaguars, the Colts or Titans could win the AFC South with a win.

There are currently only two teams that are locked into their spots in the playoffs (Saints & Cowboys). Every other spot is up for grabs, so this week will be worth your time.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2018 NFL season.

2018 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 17

Week 17 can be a crap shoot. Teams rest some of their stars and there’s always one ‘out of nowhere’ performance by a backup that can sway a championship game. 

Many leagues had their championship in Week 16, but needing a strong showing Week 17 just makes a league more interesting. A team can make a huge comeback from a poor score in the first week of the championship.

Should you automatically bench a guy whose team has nothing left to play for?

Did you make it to your championship game or are you just battling for a bronze medal this week?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 17 of the 2018 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Toy Crazy: Mattel’s WWE Elite Series 65

I’m a self-confessed vintage toy nerd. I collect vintage wrestling action figures from the 80’s & 90’s. I started purchasing some vintage toys out of nostalgia. Well, WWE and Mattel sucked me into their new stuff. I now buy a few figures a month. You can view photos of my collection on my Instagram account.

The lineup for WWE Elite series 65 is a huge step above Elite 64. You have four ‘first time elites’ along with an updated Rusev and Roman Reigns.

The Ronda Rousey elite will be the most desirable action figure in this set. Eric Young and Aiden English may not get a ton of television time at the moment, but they should still sell well as they are first elites of those superstars. 

The WWE Superstars included in Elite 65 Ronda Rousey, Nia Jax, Aiden English, Rusev, Roman Reigns and Eric Young.

The Rank Of New Online Slots In Consumer’s Market

Slots are attracting a lot of gamblers and generating a lot of interest in the gaming community now more than ever before. However, this does not come across as shocking, and their increase in popularity is not sudden as well, and that is simply because slots are not only found in casinos anymore, they take many shapes and forms online, where anyone has access to them from the comfort of their own houses. Another reason behind the increase of their popularity is that Slots come with interesting themes now, with their own plotline and characters, which is very entertaining to the gambler.

There are a lot of slots online, but there are some fan favorites that stand out, and that is mainly because of their entertaining plotline, and some other special features.

2018 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

Week 16 usually has a ton of stinkers on the schedule, but there are some interesting games being played this weekend…and thankfully there isn’t a Thursday game on the schedule.

This week isn’t completely void of potential blowouts as there are a handful of double-digit point spreads…which are pretty darn difficult to cover in the National Football League.

The Ravens, Titans and Colts are battling for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC. Will any of these teams choke this weekend?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys.

Are Free Bets Legal?

It’s always interesting to see how much some humans enjoy the exhilaration of the unknown. For some reason, not knowing the outcome of something excites plenty of people and gives them a rush of a lifetime. Maybe that’s why betting is so much fun for many; they enjoy that feeling of staking your money on something without knowing the outcome. There’s a certain risk to it that all adrenaline junkies seek with their heart and soul. Of course, it doesn’t hurt either that you get to make the occasional buck out of being right, every now and then. For all its excitement, betting can turn sour if you start digging into that pension fund or college tuition fund for the kids. This is why many bookies resort to offering free bets for their clientele every now and then, but what exactly are they?
