World Cup star Ivana Knoll jumps in the wrong spot, Megan Moroney steps in and Conor McGregor returns

Choosing the right bandwagon to jump on is not an easy process. Sometimes it takes hitting numbers, sometimes it takes trusting your gut. Either way, there are no guarantees.

In this Sunday’s edition of Screencaps, we look at bandwagon picks that didn’t work. A bandwagon selection made by World Cup star Ivana Knoll.

He had already made a valiant effort to support Croatia. Unfortunately, his country failed and was beaten by Portugal in the round of 32.

THE WORLD’S CUP COMES BETWEEN THE SOLA PROFESSIONALS, IT IS DIVIDED AND IS TAKEN OUT OF BED.

After leaving Croatia, Ivana had to make a decision. Can he take his balls, go home, and call it a World Cup? Would he show love for the game anyway, or would he ride the bandwagon?

He decided to jump on the Norwegian bandwagon.

Ivana put her hands on her flag bikini and announced that for their quarterfinal against England in her hometown, she would be heading to the Hard Rock Stadium to support them.

Another strong effort by Ivana Knoll, which was dismissed by the team as she put her quick dress in the back. Norway lost to England 2-1 on Saturday.

Will you want another bandwagon? Will you call it the World Cup from the point of view of supporting the team? Time will tell?

Conor McGregor is back

Speaking of anonymous, is UFC 329 the last time we see Conor McGregor in the octagon? His return after five years ended in the same way as his last fight in 2021, with a leg injury that prevented him from continuing.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DOD NOT @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Speculation over whether he was injured before the fight started soon after he appeared to blow out his right knee with a flying kick would have resulted in a TKO loss to Max Holloway.

The UFC is doing everything it can to close that. They even released a video of McGregor trying the move that he ended up hurting himself with at the beginning of the fight.

It seems that this move was part of his plan of attack. It failed miserably. He found that at age 37, almost 38, his knees couldn’t resist landing in the wrong way. Age comes to everyone.

Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon from injury doesn’t mean it’s all a waste. The main event has been delivered.

The lights weren’t too bright for Paddy Pimblett.

Sophie Cunningham made her debut as an octagon girl, then choked out Benoit Saint-Denis in the first minute of the match. Both were executed well.

Fireworks

I have to disagree with you 100% about “suburban heroes” when it comes to fireworks. Besides disturbed sleep, the biggest problem is doing it in pet areas…..just animal cruelty. Despite my annual rant about explosives causing at least one death, many people losing fingers or hands, many building fires, and the damage it does not only to pets but to animals in general, I don’t think the momentary “oohs and aahhhs” are worth the sacrifice. Something set in an open area that is not near any homes or wooded areas is OK if you have to do it. And no, this doesn’t make me Karen or Ken or anti-American (I’m just the opposite), a lover of pets (especially dogs) who suffer because of it. And I didn’t talk to those with PTSD.

Mark, I made the suburban heroes comment partly as a joke and partly because I knew there would be some fireworks complainers out there. Good luck fighting the 4th of July fireworks.

MEAT!

The Misses asked for ribs to celebrate America, so baby back ribs with yellow mustard, Treager pork & poultry rub, Treager bbq sauce, finished with a mango margarita because we didn’t have apple juice to keep it moist. Another successful 5 hour smoke, tasty, smooth, wife loved it.

Tuna Steaks

I’m terrible at photographing my grills. Here’s the tuna from the other night.

175 chickens in the pits on Saturday, and I will be sure to send some.

Cook a whole chicken today. 126 halves, 15lbs of potato, 12lbs of mac&cheese…Enough to feed about 200 people. Good day!!

Screencaps reader Guy made good on his promise to send a chicken. (OutKick/Screencaps/Guy)

File on the grill

Hello SeanJo,

Great job as always on Sunday Screencaps! I’m finally toasted after the last time I saw a mouse jump when I opened the lid a few weeks ago! That was new, but we live near a swamp (laundry), so there are critics. Off topic: I always run on a gravel path in the swamp. I’ve been seeing lots of whitetail deer as well as gator, bobcat, hog, and coyote in the past few weeks! It looked like it was trying to find whatever the pig was eating.

I grilled two large filets, but I’m too lazy to make a side dish, so I grilled frozen vegetables from Birdeye.

Take care of yourself!

What a meat week. Whether it’s throwing a hundred-plus chicken portion or what I think should have been “brakes and dogs,” I want to see it. Send your meat.

It could be simple, it could be extreme, we’re not here to judge. We have come to enjoy each other’s meat.

#############

That’s it for this week. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Throw the meat on the grill and send it my way.
