Erling Haaland's offseason hobby is hosting LAN parties — bringing the boys over with their own Xboxes and gaming in a closed local network. His top 3 games: Minecraft, GTA, and Call of Duty. He also wakes up every morning to the Champions League theme song. Zach's Who's Back of the Week nominee.

PFT kicks off Who's Back by announcing that Travis and Taylor have officially married — which prompts Big Cat to formally admit he was wrong about their relationship being PR. The 1,000-person MSG wedding featured Adam Sandler as officiant, Paul McCartney, Wayne Gretzky, George Kittle, Brad Paisley, and $26 million in charitable donations. Big Cat quips that Taylor may have scheduled it on July 3rd so a potential divorce album could be called 'Independence Day' — a joke he was careful to attribute to someone else. Joey Chestnut then gets his moment: 18 wins in 19 attempts, 66 hot dogs in 92-degree heat, followed by drinks all night. Finally, Michael Hewitt, a 65-year-old Leeds United fan who lost his phone in Spain, spent two weeks drinking in Barcelona while his family feared he was dead — refusing to fly home even when his brother booked him a flight because England had a game that day [1] — Big Cat "Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift officially married at Madison Square Garden in a 1,000-person ceremony with Adam Sandler as officiant, Paul M…" 41:30 [2] — Big Cat "Michael Hewitt, a 65-year-old England fan, lost his phone in Spain on the way to the World Cup and spent two weeks blissfully unaware his w…" 47:58 .

Joey Chestnut won the Nathan's Hot Dog Contest for the 18th time in 19 attempts, eating 66 hot dogs in 92-degree heat at Coney Island. Big Cat vouches from personal experience: Chestnut goes home, takes a nap, and then drinks 20 beers. A man who simply cannot be stopped.
Joey Chestnut won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 18th time out of 19 attempts, eating 66 hot dogs in 92-degree heat at Coney Island.
An England fan named Michael Hewitt lost his phone in Spain, spent two weeks unknowingly 'missing' while drinking in a Barcelona pub as his family feared he was dead.
Michael Hewitt, a 65-year-old England fan, lost his phone in Spain on the way to the World Cup and spent two weeks blissfully unaware his whole family thought he was dead — posting pub photos to the internet while his family launched a missing persons search. He wouldn't even fly home when England had a game.
Tobias Harris has earned approximately $330 million in career NBA earnings, which would rank 4th all-time in NFL career earnings, just above Kirk Cousins.
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.
