  • 'Morning Quickie': Big fights over the weekend
    Nov 18 2024
    Two northeast Ohio natives were in the ring for some big fights over the weekend. First on Friday, we had Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson on Netflix with all the streaming issues. It wasn’t much of a fight with Iron Mike showing his age, Paul won it easily. And on Saturday night, an actual fight for UFC 309. Champ Jon “Bones” Jones vs Cleveland’s Stipe Miocic. Sadly, Stipe lost the title fight. But then said to Joe Rogan after the match that he is retiring, and we just witnessed his final fight. There were some rumors that could be his last fight on Saturday. If he would have won and taken the belt from Jon Jones, then who knows, things may be different. But as for now, we won’t see Stipe fight again.

    Nov 18 2024
    The buzzkill Browns were in action on Sunday in New Orleans vs the Saints. And after a week off with the bye week, not much has changed. Cleveland fell 35-14 as their record dips to 2-8 on the year. It doesn't get much easier for the Browns, they host the 8-2 Steelers on Thursday night. Donna Kelce shared that she’ll be spending Thanksgiving watching her son Travis Kelce play football, as he has a game the day after the holiday. While there’s no big dinner planned, Donna noted they’ll simply be celebrating together at the game. She added that Taylor Swift likely won’t join them due to her ongoing "Eras Tour" schedule, though Swift has been a regular supporter at Travis’s recent games. The trailer for the Beatles documentary, “Beatles ‘64,” is out! If you didn’t already guess from the documentary title, the movie will be all about the band’s first trip to the US in 1964. It will feature previously unseen footage of the band-members from February 1964 and will give fans “a rare glimpse into when the Beatles became the most influential and beloved band of all time” according to a press release. In addition to previously unseen footage of the Beatles, the doc will also feature interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as clips of the band’s performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” from their 1964 trip to America. “Beatles ‘64” hits Disney+ on November 29th.
