PITTSBURGHBRON

Steelers X Ohio State X LeBron

Sylvester Stallone doesn't own Rocky. He has to ask a 95-year-old man for permission to play a character he invented, and that's who he means by "the other fellow."

The guy's name is Irwin Winkler, and the story of how he ended up owning Rocky instead of Stallone is wild.

Back in 1975, Stallone was a broke actor with $106 in his bank account. He wrote Rocky in three and a half days. Studios loved it and offered him up to $360,000 for the script, but they wanted Burt Reynolds or Ryan O'Neal in the lead. Stallone turned all of it down and took about $75,000 plus points so he could play Rocky himself.

Great call for his career. Terrible call for ownership, because the rights went to the producers, Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff.

When Rocky won Best Picture in 1977, Stallone sat in the audience and watched the two producers walk onstage to collect the Oscar for the movie he wrote.

Fifty years later the franchise is at nearly $1.8 billion across nine films, and Stallone's cut is an acting paycheck. Winkler still controls the character.

It boiled over in 2022 when a Drago spinoff got announced and nobody even told Stallone. He went off publicly, called Winkler a "parasite" picking clean the bones of characters he created, and admitted the thing that actually stings. All he ever wanted was a piece of Rocky to leave his kids, and he never got it.

So yeah, he'll do Creed 4 with Michael B. Jordan. He just refuses to work with the man who bought his life's work off him for $75,000 when he was desperate, and honestly, who would.

In case you missed it: Campaign finance reports show that Jon Husted has received over $630,000 from data center interests.

Truest shit ever

[Witness King James @WITNESSKJ]

They loved when MJ punched his teammate and when Kobe talked down on inferior teammates, but hate LeBron for building championship habits 😭

My neighbor's car got totaled in a hit-and-run last week, so he went to use his insurance payout of $11,000 to buy a clean, 10-year-old Honda Civic.

Every single lot he visited told him the exact same thing: they don't sell cars under $15,000 for cash anymore.

One sales rep pulled him aside and admitted:

"Our corporate managers lock all budget cars in the back unless you agree to place a $2,000 down payment and sign a 72-month loan."

When my neighbor pointed out that financing an 11-year-old car for 6 years means paying $18,000 total for an $11,000 vehicle, the rep just shrugged.

They don't want working people buying reliable transportation outright.

They want everyone locked into an inescapable monthly bill on cars that will break down before the loan even ends.

Look at the mentions under this video

People were upset with LeBron initially not wanting to play without the fans in attendance when he said this, fast forward to 2026 and those same mfs are saying the bubble ring doesn’t count because HE won

Hypocrisy at its finest lol

[PITTSBURGHBRON @Bronburgh]

Rams just gave that game away smh

[Jack Sperry @jack_sperry]

Looking ahead to PIT’s matchup vs. the Bucs in Week 6, Pittsburgh’s run blocking up front is going to face its toughest test yet, as Tampa has a pair of excellent run stuffing DTs in Vita Vea & A’Shawn Robinson.

Pending the results of MNF tonight, the Bucs currently have the 5th best rushing defense in the NFL per EPA/rush allowed.

They’re also known for playing man coverage on the back end (something PIT has struggled against this year) & Todd Bowles can cook up some creative pressure looks, which will stress PIT’s pass protection.

Long story short, I’m not expecting an easy walk through the park to get to 4-2 this Sunday…

@VladTheInflator This is why being a leftist is the only way foward we need dramatic worker action it needs to happen and it’s only happening through one political faction like it or not

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

They also removed the Chinese lettering from the show and replaced it with "indian" mandalas and Sanskrit designs.
And it's not an accident. Just look at the names of people involved in making this show...

Producer:
Sehaj Sethi

Principal Voice actors:
Saheli Khan
Aishu Devan
Akshay Khanna
Major Curda

Plus other non Indian names.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was inspired by Chinese culture. All the elements from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tibetan, Shaolin, Inuit, and Chinese mythological origins.

The new one, Seven Havens, is intentionally a shift towards Indian cultural and visual concepts. That's why everything is brown, and the vibe is so different compared to the previous ones.

The erasure of the Chinese, east asian vibes and origins was also intentional.

This economy is NOT it 😭

According to Yahoo Finance, a $100,000 salary in 2000 would need to be around $195,000 today to have the same buying power.

Over the past 26 years, inflation has pushed up the cost of housing, groceries, healthcare, and other everyday expenses, making it harder for people to maintain the same lifestyle.
