Tony Romo was arrested for an OWI in Milwaukee while competing in the Wisconsin Amateur golf tournament, where he shot 35-over. PFT brilliantly notes Wisconsin's first OWI is only a civil fine — making it 'Fisher-Price, My First DUI.'

Zach's Who's Back is a full-blown comedy short story. It begins with a nautical movie screening — watching the film Mutiny on an actual boat with boat sounds — paired with 'social drinks,' escalates through an impromptu bar crawl, detours through a previously undiscovered nightclub, arrives at Taco Bell, and ends with Zach falling asleep mid-sip of a 24-ounce Diet Pepsi and waking up drenched in it. He then came to work without showering. The crew is equal parts horrified and delighted. A secondary Who's Back involves new Giants head coach Mike Vrabel carrying a dog to his first media availability, which PFT notes was transparently designed as a PR shield for a coach with a complicated recent reputation — but which everyone agrees was genius.
Tony Romo was arrested for an OWI (operating while intoxicated) in Milwaukee while competing in the Wisconsin Amateur golf tournament, where he shot 35-over.
In Wisconsin, a first OWI offense is merely a civil penalty — a fine, not a criminal charge — which the hosts humorously called 'Fisher-Price, My First DUI.'
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a serious car crash on July 14th, suffering broken ribs and a severe concussion, but the news was withheld for nearly two weeks.
The NFL is officially back. PFT declares this the last Monday show without on-field football until after the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes's rehabbing left knee looks noticeably smaller than his right, and Brandon Aiyuk bought a $10M house in Northern Virginia for no apparent reason.
Zach went to a boat movie, had 'social drinks,' did a bar crawl home, hit a nightclub he'd never been to, got Taco Bell, popped a nicotine pouch, cracked a Diet Pepsi in bed — and woke up soaked in it with sticky sheets and his phone wet, then came straight to work without showering.
Thomas's wife deferred her CrossFit career — she's in the global top 1% of athletes — to put him through law school debt-free. He wants her to chase the dream now; she wants the emergency fund and house down payment first. On a $200K lawyer income with no debt, the opportunity cost is just a few months of slower saving.
Underground calisthenics battles are exactly like UFC meets a rap battle — 150 people crowded around a circle, fighters walking out with masks and chains, nicknames like 'Extra Money' vs 'Calisthenics the Prince,' and people throwing money and betting. The battle set: 100 burpees, 50 muscle-ups, 75 dips, 75 squats with a 65-pound dumbbell. This is the next big spectator sport.
Rico Verhoeven controlled the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion for approximately 10 rounds — and had his appeal upheld when officials admitted the fight was stopped after the bell. The result was never overturned. Rogan calls it either incompetence or corruption, and argues the money behind Usyk made an upset politically inconvenient.
Rogan lays out a blunt case: boxing's 3-judge system is structurally broken, and the judges know who the promoter wants to win. Glory's 5-judge format is the right model. Corruption doesn't have to be conscious — just knowing Usyk is the cash cow is enough to tilt the scales.
With the Usyk-Wilder fight stalling and Fury-Joshua coming too late, the real fight the world wants is the rematch. Rico is a free agent. Usyk vacated his belts. The story is unfinished and both Rogan and Rico know it. His Excellency Turki Alasheikh already called for it ringside — the question is money.
Rico texted Jason Statham during the Canelo-Crawford fight. Statham showed Rico's highlight videos to promoters. Two days later, Rico was on a call about fighting Anthony Joshua. When Joshua pulled out, Rico pitched Usyk himself — Undisputed vs. Undisputed. Usyk said yes in two weeks. The whole thing started with one text.
Every heavyweight who faced Usyk tried to move to the right — straight into his power hand. Rico and Peter Fury identified the obvious solution: move left, away from the left hand, and smother him with size. It sounds simple. Nobody had done it. That one adjustment was the foundation of 10 dominant rounds.
MMA fans boo when fights go to the ground. They love stand-up. Kickboxing is pure stand-up. Yet it barely exists in America while boxing and MMA are enormous. Rogan's diagnosis: no promotion machine. If the UFC got behind kickboxing the way they've built MMA, it would explode. The talent is there — the storytelling machine is not.
A nation of 17 million people gave the world Ramon Deckers, Peter Aerts, Badr Hari, Melvin Manhoef, Rob Kamen, Ernesto Hoost, and Rico Verhoeven. Rico's theory: the country is so small that every gym shares knowledge freely. In the US, you need a flight. In Holland, you drive 40 minutes and spar the national champion.
