Dana White’s Attempt To Repeal The Muhammad Ali Act As a UFC watcher, and no longer a fan, I always wondered why Dana White was doing a bunch of side quests that really had nothing to do with…

"It now makes even more sense why Dana has been so loyal to Donald Trump and the Republican party, given how Trump’s himself and the Republican party have a long history of supporting anti-worker and anti-union practices"

Bruno Fernandes penalty miss against Brentford #manchesterunited #brentford #brunofernandes
YouTube video by Amar AM7 Bruno Fernandes penalty miss against Brentford #manchesterunited #brentford #brunofernandes

To be honest Bruno's carelessness is a big reason why I think Man United can afford to move on from him.

Do Brentford have better players than Man United, even after we bought Mbuemo? This is the worst game I have ever watched as a United fan. It's a new low

Lamar Jackson haters will never tell you what their real problem is because they can't articulate the fact that they hate seeing a black guy get the same privileges as all the other NFL QB's,
And yes it's a race thing

I don't care that Scholes is right, the reality is that he and the other Manchester United legends contribute to the negativity around the club.

josh Allen has 0 rings, is he not top 4 in the league? This is getting ridiculous. Only Rodgers,Flacco, Mahomes, Stafford and Hurts have rings amongst active QB'sπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh yeah, like Josh Allen? Like Joe Burrow.
QB protectionism is the norm in the NFL but its only criticized with certain players that make NFL media look stupid.

You could say a lot but you're still talking about a top 4 QB.
I mean a few years ago the knock on Lamar was he can't read defenses. Where did all those people go? If we're talking about any other top 4 qb there would be no question that the team around them has to catch up

Nah but the fact that he's had paper matchet defenses means he can't make a mistake and his team still be okay.
Bills defense regularly holds oppositions under 20 points. Joe Burrow's team won't get o-line help, is that Burrows fault?🀷

It's sad what the Ravens GM and coaches are putting Lamar Jackson through every year.
Fire Eric Da Costa, Fire John Harbaugh, Fire Zach Orr

Mathew Stafford probably has better numbers but Goff winning is enough to make it a conversation for sure.

Nah bro, he's not hacking it, Lamar needs to trade him.
I don't know who is more at fault between Eric Da Costa, John Harbaugh, Zach Orr and Derrick Henry.

false starts are a ref issue and yes. your plyers need to get better at pointing it out.
The issue with criticizing the push is you guys don't actually tell us how you plan to stop it, instead opposing teams are hoping to legislate it out of the gameπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
