Mr. Beast has like a billion dollars and I still don’t know what he does and haven’t consumed a second of his content.

I'll probably never understand 90% of these "content creators" and why anyone gives a crap about them. Just like that Speed guy that was all over yesterday. Apparently he makes videos of reactions and video games. Props to these people who figured out a way to profit off of people watching them react to stuff. We are really a dumb society.

Only thing I’ve seen him do is run dumb contests/games like falling through the floor, and picking up Uber riders using a hypercar like a McLaren, Lambo or similar. You’re no worse off by not having seen it.

@mattwill

Eagles 37

Dallas 16

Campbell with a sack and a forced fumble

12-5 on season

Jalyx Hunt 13+ sacks on season

Good to win for the optimistic folks, good enough to complain about the 1/6 PAT’s conversion for the negladelphians. Perfect.

I know my TD math was messed up LOL. I guess I need to do better with PAT.

@mattwill

Eagles 33

Terds 24

Saquan 120 2 TDs

Quinyon INT

Season

12-5

Eagles score 40+ 3 times this year.

They included the tackle Cooper made on Henry. Thank you

If Fangio thinks Bennett and Mukuba aren't ready, then they're not ready.

They should have let him beat the record

Same as Foles with the 7TDs

Too much gamesmanship

Just my opinion based on nothing, but I think Vic goes a little over the top with "being ready”. I’m not arguing against his method, it just seems like they need to be slightly more than ready to earn his trust.

Just look at DeJean. Would he have been that much worse than Maddox for the early part of last year? I’d say probably not.

He makes some of the highest production videos on YouTube. Dude created his own real life Squid Game. He’s popular for a reason unlike many talentless hacks. He started off doing philanthropy videos and having fun blowing stuff up and doing other wild stuff. Now he pretty much does mega game shows and competitions and philanthropy. Pretty much every video has him giving away tons of money to someone.

Yes. Over the top. Hadn’t a clue.

What an unreal stat. 534 scrimmage yards in 2 games against the Rams and 4 TDs for Saquon last year.

Hes an interesting character, if what he puts out there in public is true.

He started off smaller, donating fairly small amounts of money to streamers with 0 viewers, or followers on twitch, or whichever platform.

Seemed to progress from there to destroying things of his friends, but then replacing that object with newer nicer.

And would give away larger sums of money.

Then he began doing contests giving away even more extravagant prizes. Like, keep your hand on the Lamborghini the longest and you win it. Or keep your hand on the million dollars longest to win it.

Then his production quality started picking up and he would have his friends try to complete crazy challenges like build your own raft and survive in the ocean for 7 days straight. Stuff like that.

Then his videos went to a new level of production quality again. And according to him, he has little liquidity because he spends so much of his earnings on creating bigger and bigger videos. These days he does things like staying in hotels from 1 dollar a night to $100,000 a night.

His game show on Amazon Prime was actually pretty entertaining. Ill watch another season of it.

He has created a chocolate company that makes actually pretty good candy. The selling point is that its few ingredients, so supposed to be healthier. He has gummy candies too but they suck (also supposed to be healthier).

He also now has a whole line of toys.

He also came out with another channel that is completely predicated on major philanthropic efforts where he goes with his fortunes and builds schools, and provides running water in africa. Those videos are fun to watch as well.

He just had a big telethon that was viral because onlyfans star Sophie Rain donated 1 million dollars. The money is again going to provide running water in africa.

I used to watch some of his early videos giving away money to streamers. My kids have watched his newer stuff. And we actually all watched his Prime game show as a family. And I learned more about him just from trying to learn youtube like 2 years ago. He has some helpful information out there in interviews. Really has the algorithm figured out to get views and shares some good info. He seems to be a decent, inspiring role model for kids in an era where youtube stars are the new movie stars.

Watching this

Barkley is so special. How and why in the world did Giants let him go. Is that one of the biggest F ups by a team in history?

Jordan is nuts I love his laughing

Don't like how America's Game didn't show the big Carter sack and then the pressure on the 4th down. Biggest defensive plays of the year.

Because he wasn’t so special with them. They couldn’t block a lick. Truth be told, they did him a favor.
