I got a new NBA feature on the SBNation front page!

Made this graphic for you oldies too lol www.sbnation.com/nba-2025-26-...

15 forgotten free agents, and the NBA contenders that can use their help

Just because NBA free agency is (mostly) over doesn’t mean that all the good players are signed. Here are a few that might be able to help your favorite team.

They made that Gen V plot "twist" way too obvious from like four episodes prior, so I thought writers must've had something else? But nope, it's really just the same predictable outcome lol

I just made an IG account specifically for my BJJ posts, since majority of the fanbase and competitors are on there.

It will have my regular BJJ Beat round ups along with a bunch of other quality grappling content, so if you’re into that, follow @ bjjbeat on Instagram.

I’m seeing more and more people using AI for their profile photos. 😬

Mikey Musumeci easily submitted his opponent and made it look like he didn’t belong in there.

After beating three relatively unheralded opponents, it’s clear that Musumeci badly needs better opposition in the UFC.

There’s understandably less hype, but the $1M team format will most likely make CJI 2 a far more entertaining product than even their game changing inaugural event.

Not gonna spoil, but #FinalDraft is actually more like the anime Blue Lock, which is fitting for Netflix Japan lol

Anton Tabuena @antontabuena.bsky.social · Aug 20

I started watching Final Draft, which is basically Japan’s version of Physical 100

There’s a bunch of combat sports stars like 3-div boxing champ Hozumi Hasegawa, Olympic champion wrestler Eri Tosaka, and RIZIN’s Kouzi—who said he was drinking at 2am before entering the show lol

Craig Jones announcing he’s going to New Wave and possibly competing against B-Team would’ve been a crazy plot twist, but that’s not happening.

Okay so Duolingo going from “hearts” to “energy” (25 question limit), is the lamest thing they’ve ever done.

Before you could spend hours learning if you don’t get things wrong (and watch ads). Now, you can have like 5 mins and barely go through 2 levels, unless you pay. Weak.

JUST IN: CJI 2 Americas roster is complete with addition of Elijah Dorsey

Craig Jones noted they can pick from North & South America, which potentially includes several Brazilian champs, but this is all from US plus a wild card pick from EU. Undersized team too.

UFC BJJ 2 full fight card for July 31 is set. A second title bout has been added between Mason Fowler and Brasileiro champ David Garmo.

Also competing are Mikey’s sister and 5x IBJJF world champ Tammi Musumeci, Filipino teen world champ Jalen Fonacier, Kennedy Maciel and more

Anton Tabuena @antontabuena.bsky.social · Jul 16

JUST IN: CJI 2’s “highest paying women’s tournament in BJJ history” is complete, with Sarah Galvao being the final addition.

We could see a rematch against Crevar, who she beat in the gi recently

The 4-woman $100K line up:
Adele Fornarino
Helena Crevar
Ana Viera
Sarah Galvao

Hot (?) take: The Bear’s latest season was pretty boring and could’ve been like two episodes shorter.

Anton Tabuena @antontabuena.bsky.social · Jul 10

JUST IN: CJI 1 finalist Levi Jones Leary has pulled out of CJI 2 due to injury. Replacing him on Team Australasia is 3-time ADCC Trials winner Kenta Iwamoto.

Full fight card is here:

Anton Tabuena @antontabuena.bsky.social · Jul 9

Unless he means a sub loss from his lower belt days, my guess is Polaris champ Mateusz Szczecinski. He beat William Tackett by sub in ADCC 2022, and is curiously absent from CJI 2.
