ChatGPT ranks top 10 receivers in Notre Dame history

Please note that tight ends are not included on this list.

We’ve been asking AI writing tool ChatGPT to give its opinions of the top 10 Notre Dame players by position. It’s been a great way to generate discussion and debate amongst our readers. So far, we’ve asked it to list the top quarterbacks and running backs. Now, we move onto the receivers.

Please note that this list will not include tight ends but rather pure receivers. Even though it’s becoming more difficult to differentiate between receivers and tight ends these days, they still are different enough that they need to be separated. So please don’t ask why Michael Mayer or Cole Kmet aren’t on this list, but we also will get more into that when we ask ChatGPT about Irish tight ends.

Please also note that ChatGPT’s last knowledge update was in September 2021, and this list is based on historical data that was available at that time. Also, some entries have been edited for clarity and accuracy:

WATCH: Chargers RB Austin Ekeler reacts to seeing SoFi Stadium for first time

SoFi Stadium is going to be one of the best stadiums in the NFL.

The Chargers are a little over a month from playing their first game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, which will be the new home to them and the Rams.

Recently, running back Austin Ekeler got a glimpse at the stadium where he will be terrorizing offenses for years to come.

Check it out:

SoFi Stadium is 97% complete, the Oculus video board is completely finished and the field turf has been laid out. Thereā€™s still some work that needs to be done, but the stadium is just about finished. It remains to be seen if fans will be allowed in this season due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Bolts’ first game at their new home will be on Aug. 22 in a preseason exhibition against the Rams. It would’ve been on Aug. 16 against the Cowboys, but the NFL decided to eliminate the first and fourth week of preseason matchups.

Look: Monstrous scoreboard hung at Chargers, Rams’ new stadium

The final touches are being made to SoFi Stadium.

The final touches are being made to SoFi Stadium, which will be the new home to the Chargers and Rams this upcoming season.

Last week, the turf was installed. Now, the scoreboard, which is the biggest in professional sports, was put up on Wednesday.

The jumbotron, which hangs over the field, weighs a whopping 2.2. million pounds and is 120 yards long, featuring 70,000 square feet of technology.

It’s also hooked up with 260 speakers, holding enough power to keep 1,500 home theaters running.

ā€œOur fans expect a premium technological experience and theyā€™re going to get that,ā€ Rams chief operator Kevin Demoff said.

SoFi Stadium is 97% complete and is expected to be open for the 2020 season. The Chargers first regular season game at the brand new stadium will come in Week 2 against the Chiefs.

Look: Turf laid out at SoFi Stadium

The new home to the Chargers and Rams is going to be gorgeous.

It’s little less than two months until the first game will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

Over the past year, we’ve been consistently updating the construction progress of the new home to the Chargers and Rams, and it is so close for games to finally be played there.

With the outside of the field nearly complete, the field itself is close to being done, too. The turf was completely installed on Thursday.

Check it out:

Logos on the field still have to be painted, but it’s great to know that the long process is close to being over.

SoFi Stadium is set to open on Aug. 14 when the Rams host the Saints for a preseason matchup.

Check out the view from this luxurious suite at SoFi Stadium

This suite at SoFi Stadium comes with spectacular views.

SoFi Stadium is set to open on Aug. 14 for its first official event, a preseason game between the Rams and Saints. But with the NFL and NFLPA discussing the possibility of trimming the preseason to only two games, that grand opening could be pushed back a few weeks.

When it does eventually open to fans, those buying suites will have some of the best views in the entire building. Given the cost of those suites, that shouldnā€™t come as a surprise to anyone.

With construction ongoing, one worker inside the stadium shared a view from an end zone suite on Instagram. Swipe through the post below to watch the clip.

As you can see, there are plenty of TVs, a massive bar in the middle and seats just outside the suite so you can feel close to the action. Also in the video, you get a glimpse of the Oculus, which appears to be raised to its peak now after it was lifted off the ground slightly a few weeks ago.

And speaking of the Oculus, you may not have realized thereā€™s a big enough space inside the video board for workers to fit in. Check out the photos in the post below.

When finished, SoFi Stadium is expected to cost around $5 billion and will be home to the Rams and Chargers in Inglewood.

SoFi Stadium worker dies after fall from roof

Utterly devastating news came out on Friday morning.

A construction worker in his 30s died after falling from the roof of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on Friday morning.

The worker fell at least 60 feet while working on the roof in the southeast corner of the stadium, according to the Los Angeles Times.

All construction on the stadium has temporarily been put to a halt, and it remains to be seen when the work on the site will continue.

“This is an extremely sad day,” a spokesman for Turner-AECOM Hunt said.Ā “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues at this extremely difficult time. We work extremely hard to prevent days like this and we have halted all construction activity.”

SoFi Stadium, the home to the Chargers and Rams, is slated to have its first event on August 14 as the Rams will play host to the Saints in a preseason matchup.

SoFi Stadium won’t open in July with Taylor Swift concert canceled

SoFi Stadium was set to open in July, but that will no longer be the case due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Construction on SoFi Stadium was said to be on schedule despite the coronavirus outbreak, but if those working on the project needed more time, they now have it. The stadiumā€™s opening event, a two-night Taylor Swift concert on July 25 and 26, has been canceled as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

SoFi Stadium announced the news on Twitter Friday, in conjunction with Swift postponing her 2020 tour until next year.

This is obviously disappointing news for everyone involved, but itā€™s hardly surprising. Public events around the country have been canceled and postponed due to restrictions on large gatherings, many of which were scheduled for this summer.

Thereā€™s still no telling whether the NFL season will begin on time, but as of now, the Rams and Chargers are slated to play preseason games at SoFi Stadium in August. The next event on the schedule at the venue is a Kenny Chesney concert on August 1.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. set to meet Samuel Vargas on March 28

Rising young star Vergil Ortiz Jr. will face veteran welterweight Samuel Vargas on March 28 at The Forum in Inglewood, California on DAZN.

Heā€™s been called the future.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. will take another step in that direction with his first fight in 2020 against veteran welterweight Samuel Vargas on March 28 at The Forum in Inglewood, California on DAZN, Golden Boy Promotions announced Saturday.

“I’m excited to be returning against Samuel Vargas,” said Ortiz (15-0 15 KOs), a Dallas prospect who turns 22 on March 25, three days before opening bell. “He’s a tough fighter with a lot of experience, so I know that my talent and skills are going to be put to a tough test.

“I’m also happy to be fighting in Los Angeles at such a historic venue where many legends in the sport have fought. I love this city, and I love the people here, so I’m going to work very hard to perform to the best of my abilities.”

Vargas (31-5-2, 14 KOs), a Colombian living in Toronto, has a well-traveled resume that includes world-class experience in losses to Errol Spence Jr., Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and Luis Collazo.

ā€œI have always taken the challenges that other fighters in the division don’t want, and that’s exactly what I’m doing again,” Vargas said. “Vergil Ortiz Jr. is one of the brightest young stars in boxing, but he hasn’t had to go through a war yet.

ā€œI’ve shown that I’m willing to go through hell in that ring, so if Ortiz is everything he’s hyped up to be, he better be on point March 28 because I know I will.”

Bellator 238: Julia Budd vs. Cris Cyborg odds, picks and best bets

Julia Budd vs. Cris Cyborg, the heavy favorite, meet at Bellator 238. Will Budd be able to pull an upset win Saturday?

[jwplayer FFHQsbe4]

Julia Budd and Cris Cyborg hit the octagon in the main event at Bellator 238 at The Forum in Ingelwood, Calif. Saturday live on DAZN, with the main card starting at 10:00 p.m. ET. To watch the whole card, subscribe to DAZN now.

Budd (13-2-0) is in the unenviable position of facing Cyborg in her highly-anticipated Bellator debut, and she’ll enter as a distinct underdog. The Canadian looks to keep her strap, as she is the current featherweight champion in Bellator. Budd is not going to be a pushover, either, as she comes in on an 11-bout winning streak, although Cyborg easily represents her biggest challenge to date. She hasn’t experiences losses since losing to UFC stars Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes, both back in 2011.

Budd will be trying to get Cyborg to the mat early and often, which might be here only opportunity at an upset win.

Cyborg (21-2-0), a.k.a Cristiane Justino, has held titles in the UFC, Invicta and Strikeforce, and now she looks to win a fourth championship in a different promotion. She suffered a disappointing loss against Nunes in the first round back in Dec. 2018, before topping Felicia Spencer back in July in her final event in the UFC.

Cyborg will be looking to go toe-to-toe with Budd, looking to avoid the ground-and-pound game of Budd, which is where she actually stands (or lays) a chance. The good news for Cyborg is that her fight against Spencer might have prepared her well for Budd, as they have similar grappling styles. Cyborg will be looking for the knockout, and she just might get it if she isn’t tired out from being tied up on the mat or against the fence.

Per BetMGM, Cyborg (-455) is giant favorite versus Budd (+300) on the 2-way line. It’s a bad idea to lay more than four and a half times your potential return, so you’re probably going to want to cross-bet in a two- or three-fight parlay to win any semblance of money.

Are you new to sports betting? A $10 wager on Cyborg to win returns $2.20 in profit. A $10 bet on Budd, the underdog, returns a profit of $40 with a victory.

Get a look inside SoFi Stadium with new photos and videos

SoFi Stadium is more than 85% complete.

It won’t be long before the Los Angeles Rams are taking the field at SoFi Stadium wearing new uniforms, helmets and colors ā€“ as well as a refreshed logo. The stadium is close to being finished, which COO Kevin Demoff said on Wednesday it will be for Taylor Swiftā€™s opening concerts on July 25 and 26.

Members of the media were treated to a tour of the stadium this week, sharing photos and videos inside the spectacular venue. The progress thatā€™s been made in Inglewood is remarkable, as the stadium is more than 85% complete.

ā€œThe finishes for the whole building, that’s the last piece,” Demoff said, via the Associated Press. ā€œAll of the structural stuff is (already) in place, and I think everybody here feels confident about the timeline and how it will come together. There’s been no indication to us that there’s been any slippage.ā€

Hereā€™s a look at the stadium from under the swooping canopy, which is where fans can enter.

In addition to housing the Rams and Chargers, and hosting marquee events like the Super Bowl, national championship and the 2028 Olympics, SoFi Stadium also has a 6,000-seat amphitheater for more intimate concerts and events.

The Oculus video board will be one of the iconic parts of SoFi Stadium, as it will hang above the field to show videos, replays, stats and everything inbetween. Itā€™s double-sided, too, so itā€™ll be visible from everywhere in the stadium.

Itā€™s currently under construction on the ground level, and up close, you get a sense of how huge it really is.

The seats at SoFi Stadium rise much steeper than those at the Coliseum, making even upper-level views feel better than ever. Theyā€™re much closer to the field than the Coliseumā€™s, as seen from this photo ā€“Ā which is near the top of the upper level.

The clear glass roof is also a big feature of the stadium, allowing the sun to shine through, while also giving that open-air feeling, unlike most domes.

Fans can also watch the planes going in and out of nearby LAX. And once finished, some of the panels can be opened on hotter days.

The team store will be located near the entrance, which appears to be on one end of the stadium, and is sure to come with some great views of the Southern California landscape.

And hereā€™s a sweeping video from inside the stadium, showing how great the view is from the end zone sections.

The Rams’ schedule has not yet been released, so we don’t know who they’ll open SoFi Stadium against ā€“ or if they’ll even be the first team to play there. It’s possible the Chargers will get the first home game, depending on travel and scheduling decisions made by the NFL.
