Conf Championships Are A Movie

Plus, the latest on Jimmy Butler

…A Puerto Rican football club. The USL club, which he’s putting 2.5Ms into, would be the only Puerto Rican team in American football. Petition to name it, Yo Perreo Sola FC.

Lights, Cameron, Action. Cameron Brink should rule the world, and soon, maybe she will, thanks to her new video pod with godsister, Sydel Curry—yes, that Curry. They’ll talk life, basketball, fashion, relationships—everything under the California sun. 

Fans are challenging the Academy’s decision to snub Challengers. The movie didn’t get nominated for Best Score despite many people believing it indeed has the best score. It is banger after banger after banger

You won’t need to buy Kendrick tickets to see him perform with SZA because she’s joining him at the Super Bowl. We can’t wait to see our cursive-singing queen on the biggest stage in the world. 

New F1 fans: if you’ve been confused about all the Lewis Hamilton hype lately, here’s some clarity. 

This weekend, our eyes will be fixed to our TVs (and phones, let’s be honest) for the NFL conference championships. The Chiefs look to three-peat as they face their character foil in the Bills—the team with whom they have a storied rivalry, and maybe the only team with the juice to possibly defeat them. It seems that people want this, by the way. 

When it comes to the NFC championship, this game is more personal because these two are division rivals, in a famously bad-blood-y division. The Commanders, arguably considered America’s team, have foolproof plans about how to defeat the birds, and the Eagles want revenge.

If these are the stories, here’s how our leading men fit into it.

Josh Allen is the Prom King. He’s the small-town football captain who won our hearts and got the girl of his dreams. He hails from a small town, went to a non-power school, plays for a small market team, and became a powerhouse despite it all. 

So it may be fitting that his nemesis is our bad guy, but not even in the typical sense of the phrase. Patrick Mahomes is our Villain. He’s technically well-regarded and liked by fans, which makes him even more of a villain in some ways. The people can’t stand that they can’t beat him. He’s unbeatable, loaded, and married with three beautiful kids, and if he wins it all again, he’ll be the GOAT. Haters stay mad. 

Jalen Hurts could be an A-list actor. Or president. Or anything else he wants. He’s the Coolest Guy In School. He makes it a point to have an all-female team, he’s widely-considered our most handsome leading man, he dresses like this.  

And finally, Jayden Daniels is our Superhero. He may be a rookie, but he has the heart (and skills) of a vet. He’s set to have one of the best first years ever, and this spring chicken just might lead his team to the first Super Bowl in 33 years. 

Science hasn’t advanced far enough for us to make a Saquon Barkley comparison because he’s inhuman. And I guess that makes Travis Kelce is Mr. Magoo (a comparison he is ok with).

Hopefully, this movie has the happy ending you want—it probably will since it isn’t a French film. 

Enshrined in every movie critic's “best sports movies” list is a film that romanticizes the underdog, that spends ample time developing a character you want to root for, and that reminds us sports are really just a metaphor for our own lives.  

It’s been nearly 50 years since Rocky entered our lives, but in most ways, it feels more popular than ever. It’s got its own festival, its own statue (on loan from the man himself) at the top of the Philly Museum steps, and even its own guided tour.

With its countless sequels, the Creed spinoffs, and now an impending prequel near and dear to Sly’s heart, Rocky isn’t going anywhere. For those of you with an undying love for the Italian Stallion, Contenders Clothing has got you covered, literally. 

Jimmy Butler missed one little flight (and openly disparaged the Heat), and now he’s grounded. Here’s the latest. 

It all started when, three weeks ago, Jimmy mentioned he had lost his joy in Miami, and he wanted out. Then, he was suspended for seven games for “multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team.”

In the age of player empowerment, players are encouraged to fight for their happiness. And while Jimmy’s teammates have said they understand the complicated nature of business and friendship, we aren’t so sure. Jimmy seems more emo than ever. 

Kevin Love’s response to all of this was to post a clip from Scarface, where Al Pacino goes on a drunken rant. Tyler Herro said it’s been hard to work with somebody who’s “in and out,” but also vocalized his love for Jimmy. Jimmy claims it’s all love between his teammates, and his only beef is with the Heat—especially if he gets traded to Memphis. We’re gonna need to know the details behind that feud, btw. If anyone’s got leads, let us know. 

Above all, we hope things are still good with him and Burnie

@miamiheat

This duo is pure comedy 😂 #jimmybutler #burnie #nba

Whenever they do trade Jimmy, bridges will almost certainly be burned. Until then, we’ll be refreshing Kevin Love’s socials incessantly.
