  • Jake and Logan Paul announce ‘the moment you’ve waited a decade for,’ but leave questions

    Jake and Logan Paul announce ‘the moment you’ve waited a decade for,’ but leave questions

    Logan and Jake Paul will be streamed on HBO Max in two months — but it’s up for debate on what will actually be shown.

    It appears the brothers teased a fight between the two of them that will take place on March 27, but such an announcement has yet to come.

    The brothers each posted a graphic that shows the two of them facing off. They both posted on X, “The moment you’ve waited a decade for… March 27th on @StreamHBOMax.”

    However, there has been no official announcement on a fight from Jake’s boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions. In fact, in a joint Instagram post, MVP was left off as a collaborator, while the brothers and HBO Max were in on the joint post.

    It should be noted that Jake’s men’s care line, W, posted a poll on its Instagram story, asking fans, “Who do you think is winning?” However, one of the answers, in typical Paul-trolling fashion, was “Mike Tyson.”

    Fox News Digital reached out to MVP for clarification, but did not receive a response.

    Logan, the older of the two, said over the summer that he had reached out to Netflix after Mike Tyson was hospitalized, saying he would be willing to fight his brother in order to keep the Paul-Tyson bout on its original date of July 20.

    “We actually ran it up the chain at Netflix,” Logan said on his podcast while then-Republican nominee Donald Trump was his guest.

    Jake wound up fighting on that date anyway, but against Mike Perry — the Tyson bout was postponed until Nov. 15, with Jake winning both bouts.

    The March 27 date does seem like an odd one to have a fight, considering that would be a Thursday. That date also marks MLB’s Opening Day, while it would be just three weeks out of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, where Logan, a WWE superstar, is very likely to be a part of.

    Logan said on the aforementioned podcast that he and his brother have “never even sparred.” However, the two found each other in a highly-publicized tiff with one another in 2023, stemming from each of their energy drink brands.

    Logan said on an August 2023 episode of his podcast that he had been threatened to be ejected from Jake’s fight against Nate Diaz at American Airlines Arena in Dallas earlier that month if he brought a PRIME bottle inside the venue. CELSIUS was the main sponsor for the fight.

    The two shared harsh words for one another, but that led to a fanfare conspiracy theory that the two were simply just marketing a Paul vs. Paul boxing match.

    Jake denied that to Fox News Digital roughly a month later, saying the beef was all real, but they managed to squash it all “in private.”

    “Sometimes, brothers get into little bickering matches, and that’s just the name of the game. I think family goes through the bumps — there’s just 100 million people watching,” Jake quipped at the time.

  • Capitals netminder Logan Thompson blames rogue nacho platter for Oilers goal

    Capitals netminder Logan Thompson blames rogue nacho platter for Oilers goal

    Edmonton Oilers star Corey Perry likely had one of the most unusual assists of his career during the third period of Tuesday night’s game against the league-leading Washington Capitals. 

    The Oilers were trailing 3-1 to start the third period when center Leon Draisaitl skated into Washington’s zone, making a quick pass to Perry, who beat Capitals netminder Logan Thompson to cut the lead to a one-goal deficit.

    However, Thompson appeared to take issue with the sequence of events, pleading to officials that something had been thrown onto the ice before the pass was made.

    What was it that distracted one of the NHL’s top goalies? A platter of nachos. 

    “That’s a first,” Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said after the game, via ESPN.

    “We just talked about that in the coaches’ office. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nachos-on-the-ice National Hockey League game. Did they save them? Maybe we can bring them into the locker room.”

    A replay of the play showed Perry skating around the concession stand favorite to find the back of the net. Thompson admitted after the game that he should have played until the whistle. 

    “I’ve never seen that before. Obviously, I’ve got to play to the whistle. That one’s on me,” Thompson said, adding that he saw the fan that threw the plate of nachos. 

    “Wasn’t too happy. But credit to him. He got them a goal,” he said, suggesting the fan was an Oilers supporter.

    For his part, Perry admitted to not even noticing the platter. 

    Despite the setback, the Capitals were able to hold on to the 3-2 lead for the win as they extended their win streak to five straight. The Oilers have now dropped two in a row and their first since star forward Connor McDavid was issued a three-game suspension for cross-checking.
