Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett Touts Mental Health, Being Approachable Part Of UFC Life
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Everyone who’s ever met or spoken to Paddy Pimblett could probably attest to one thing. He’s as easygoing as anyone you'll ever talk to. And the simplest conversations with the mixed martial arts fighter feel like a chat with an old friend down at the pub. Perhaps it was for that reason that Pimblett, who called me “fella” and “lad” throughout our short Zoom interview earlier this month, seems like the kind of that Guy Ritchie would cast in one of his films. I mention that and ask if he sees “Paddy The Baddy” in future motion pictures. “Yeah, definitely,” Pimblett said. “I’ll be in movies one day, lad. Don't worry about that. I’ll be in films, 100%!” Pimblett kicked off the month of March with a trip to Southern California, where he hoped to catch some sun and train with a group of professional MMA fighters from Indonesia. While on his trip to San Diego and Los Angeles, Pimblett visited with UFC legend Chuck … [Read more...] about Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett Touts Mental Health, Being Approachable Part Of UFC Life

Why Michael Porter Jr Should Take More Interior Shots
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Michael Porter Jr has played in 55 games this year so far, which has to be considered a win in its own right considering the persistent back issues he's had dating back to his college days. The 24-year-old is one of the league's best long-range shooters, and a crucial part of Denver's offense, which is built around the playmaking of Nikola Jokić. Porter Jr is currently hitting 41.5% of his 7.1 nightly three-point attempts, his third season of hitting above 40% from the outside of his career. But while the 6'10 forward is a nightmare matchup for defenders on the outside, his inclination to take perimeter shots can make him predictable. The good news? There's justification for trying Porter Jr closer to the basket as well. Over his career, he's hit an astounding 79% of his attempts from within three feet, and is sporting an 80.3% accuracy rate this season. It stands to reason that shot should take up more than 16.5% of … [Read more...] about Why Michael Porter Jr Should Take More Interior Shots
Oddsmakers Believe The Green Bay Packers Will Finish Last In The NFC North
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin With or without Aaron Rodgers, the folks in the desert didn't give the Green Bay Packers much of a chance to win the NFC North on 2023. Before it became clear that Rodgers’ time in Green Bay was over, Fanduel gave the Packers the third-best odds to win the division at +340. Now, with Rodgers expected to be playing for the New York Jets in 2023, Green Bay’s odds are at +410. What is fascinating, though, is Fanduel believes the Packers will finish last in the NFC North. The last time that happened was 2005, when Green Bay went 4-12. In fact, the Packers have been either first or second in the division 14 of the past 17 years and third just three times (2008, 2017, 2018). Fanduel currently has Detroit as the divisional frontrunner at +130. The Lions haven't won the NFC North since 1993. Minnesota, which won the division by four games in 2022, is picked for second at +310. Chicago, which had the worst record in the … [Read more...] about Oddsmakers Believe The Green Bay Packers Will Finish Last In The NFC North
