La NFL siempre tomó un poco de riesgo cuando firmó un contrato para transmitir el partido del fin de semana del Wild Card por Nickelodeon, y todos sabemos que hay micrófonos por todos lados. Pueden lanzar todo el slime que quieran por CGI, pero pues era obvio que una grosería iba a terminar colándose en la transmisión.

Justo eso pasó el año pasado durante el partido de los playoffs entre los Saints y los Bears que provocó una reacción simpatiquísima entre el personal de Nickelodeon. Bueno, pues este domingo se continuó con esta tradición.

A finales del segundo cuarto del partido para el Wild Card de la Conferencia Nacional entre los Niners y los Cowboys, un jugador (probablemente George Kittle) gritó una maldición lo suficientemente fuerte para que llegara a los micrófonos y la escucharan todos los niños que estaban viendo el partido por Nick.

Traducción: George Kittle lanzando una maldición en Nickelodeon.

 

Pareció que este año el personal de la transmisión no confirmó el lenguaje inapropiado, pero nosotros lo escuchamos. Todos lo escuchamos.

Seamos honestos, esto terminará por convertirse en una tradición anual del canal Nick, a menos que traten de silenciar activamente las groserías. Podemos volver a revisar esto el año que entra.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy tests positive for COVID, unavailable vs. Saints

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy tests positive for COVID, unavailable vs. Saints

The COVID-19 issues the Dallas Cowboys are experiencing ahead of their Thursday night game with the New Orleans Saints are getting worse. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini reported Monday that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy will not be available for the prime-time matchup after testing positive, and more absences are on the way with one of Schefter’s sources telling him that “there are up to eight positives in Dallas.”

That’s obviously going to be tough for them to overcome. Dallas was already without its offensive line coach and two assistants, as well as all three strength and conditioning coaches after a series of positive COVID-19 test results. Players like wide receiver Amari Cooper and right tackle Terence Steele have also been unavailable due to the coronavirus.

It’s similar to the situation the Saints themselves experienced earlier this season, when a third of their coaching staff (mainly on offense) were all ruled out of their Week 2 game with the Carolina Panthers after testing positive. New Orleans lost 26-7. That’s a lot of adversity for the Cowboys to work through, but it might help the Saints snap their four-game losing streak.

UFC 246: Conor McGregor vs. Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s UFC 246 main event between Conor McGregor and Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, with UFC betting odds, picks, tips and bets.

[jwplayer Vk6KCC2o]

Conor McGregor and Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone will lock horns at UFC 246 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. Saturday. The welterweight bout is the main event on the pay-per-view card. Below, we breakdown the McGregor-Cerrone fight, with UFC 246 betting odds and picks.

‘The Notorious’ is back, and he’ll have a formidable opponent with the veteran ‘Cowboy’. Still, while McGregor (21-4) is sure to be a huge draw, and the pay-per-view returns will be rather substantial, he isn’t the fighter he once was. However, he is the closest thing to Mike Tyson this sport has ever had, and people will tune in to see him, even if he is heading into the back nine of his career.

Cerrone (36-13) is a warrior. He has had his fair share of losses, but just when folks are about to write him off, he steps up his game and shows why he is one of the most decorated and respected fighters to ever grace the octagon. He looked tremendous in a five-round bout against Al Iaquinta in the main event of UFC Fight Night back on May 4, 2019, winning in a unanimous decision, but he lost by TKO – Doctor’s Stoppage against Tony Ferguson in the follow-up at UFC 238, and he was knocked out by Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night Sept. 14. He’s loaded with experience, but there’s a lot of mileage on the odometer, too.

Per BetMGM, McGregor (-358) is an overwhelming favorite over Cerrone (+250). The oddsmakers also lean to the match not going the distance (five rounds), with odds there being set at a whopping -589 for No – and the odds to go a full five rounds at Yes +400.

McGregor is still a show stopper, and he is catching Cerrone at a good time, on a two-bout slide. The Notorious is still the dominant striker of the two, and while Cerrone showed improvement in the defense department in his UD win against Iaquinta, he is sure to be knocked off his game by the colorful McGregor. The latter is dominant in takedown defense, striking and just overall showmanship. I absolutely LOVE the odds of a McGregor win in Round 3 at +1000. If you can multiply your stake by 10 times with a third-round win, that turns even a small-unit bet into a nice bankroll. McGregor should win by KO/TKO or DQ (-209), so that’s not a bad little parlay.
