Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.
On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".
Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.
Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.
Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.
Rest in peace, Chuck!
John Calipari goes OFF for nearly SEVEN MINUTES about current state of college athletics & the Trentyn Flowers story in CBB. I haven't seen him this fired up in a press conference...ever?
Don’t stress yourself out over things & people you can’t change or control.
Be realistic about what you can actually control in your life, which is primarily yourself & your actions.
Let go of all the things beyond your grasp & out of your control & stay sane.
Hey @YouTubeTV
Both of you are to blame. Disney wants more money for its channels, YouTube TV wants to pay less. When negotiations stall, you go public to apply pressure in an attempt to force Disneys hand.
The reality is, when you guys launched in 2017 it cost $35/month.
Over time the price jumped repeatedly: $40, $50 by 2019, $65 in 2020, $73 in 2023, and then $82.90.
That outpaces inflation.
The bottom line is you’ve taken advantage of a customer base time and time again while never really adding any significant value. You sold everyone on the “cheap alternative” pitch, built loyalty, and are now increasing prices significantly non-stop.
You’ve been exceptionally greedy.
Negotiate fairly and start putting your customer base back in the forefront.
Do better.

5th best record in the NFL, 3rd best odds to win the Super Bowl, best odds to win the NFC and a loud portion of the fanbase that acts like it's all going to shit and we need to have a complete meltdown and panic and heads need to roll or else. Is this team good enough right now to win the Super Bowl? No. Do I need the team to be playing their best football in October? No. Enjoy the journey. It's not always pretty. We have plenty of time to judge the final product at the end of the year. It's all a process. There's not a team in the NFL that's satisfied with where they are at right now.
The @Brewers got zero love on national stage despite winning the division in ‘24, yet one broadcaster had their back early and often. Thank you @45PedroMartinez for shining a light on MLB’s smallest market when it was clearly deserved.
I want to congratulate the Milwaukee Brewers and Pat Murphy for all they’ve done not just this series but all year. The consistency at such a young age. The energy they carry is unique. The maturity they show when they play the game… that’s the kind of baseball you want to watch
