Slow week in sports while we ramp up for March Madness, but I am a combat sports fan and this past weekend we had a pretty cool event that evolved into a brawl. That’s why this week's Dude of the Week is Arman Tsarukyan.

On Saturday, Arman fought Georgio Poullas, who is a former D1 wrestling influencer. Now, I have liked Georgio’s content, "Take me down for $1,000". But this is his first time fighting a current UFC fighter in a sanctioned event. During the match, Georgio kept slapping Arman and hitting him in the back of the head. When the match was over, Arman took Georgio down and went to ground and pound. Arman connected with a punch to the face and also a knee to the face right after. A brawl broke out immediately.

Arman is Dude of the Week because he STOOD ON BUSINESS. After the fight, Georgio claimed he came out on top, but his chin definitely did not. Either way, the fight was entertaining and both of these guys would kill me, so good job guys! It is cool to see a headlined wrestling fight growing the sport outside of just the UFC. A rematch is set to take place on March 11th in Rio. I am sure with all of the fire surrounding the first match, the rematch will be cinema.

It amazes me that very few people know about one of sports’ greatest tournaments. I’m talking about the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament.

The best part of this tournament? By far and away, it’s the hair… These 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds shaving their domes into pieces of art all for a hockey tournament. Get a load of this guy — buzz in the front, tidal wave in the back, screaming straight into the camera. America’s hero. Guy should run for president.

Now, we are not the first to analyze Minnesota high school hockey hair. In fact, if anything, we are late to the game. The good fellas over at Pulltab Productions have been making the “Minnesota State High School All Hockey Hair Team” since 2015. Talk about doing God’s work.

Today is Day 2 of the tournament, which runs through Saturday. Can’t wait to see what the boys up north have in store for us. Catch updates here:

Looking at the stats and considering all factors, March might be the best month of the year. Now it is very hard to compete with the summer, warm days and cold beers are hard to beat. But here me out. After reading a tweet by Nick Bateman I am starting to believe March has a chance. 

This list from Nick is superb. March Madness, St. Paddy’s Day, Daylight Savings and random days of warm weather all in one month is awesome. We get to watch the most exciting annual tournament of the year and get an hour back of our days?? It really dawned upon me that for women this may not be the best month, but March is definitely a month for the boys.  I have never really thought of this argument but it is very strong. Is March the best month of the year?

We’ve heard a lot lately about Sydney Sweeney, Tate McRae, etc., but Megan Fox’s recent post was a quick reminder that she’s still one of the greatest to ever do it.

At this point, I believe she’s firmly on the Mount Rushmore.

War seems to be breaking out everywhere right now—even in the fast-food world. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, A&W Restaurants—and the list keeps growing by the hour.

This whole thing started when the CEO of McDonald's took a bite of the company’s new “Big Arch” burger and somehow made it look like he had never eaten McDonald’s in his life. The bite was so weak a newborn child could of dug in deeper.

Now other fast-food CEOs are jumping in and recreating the video, except they’re actually taking real bites. It’s basically turned into a CEO burger challenge across the industry.

Who will win the Burger War?

The Bears are in serious contention to land Maxx Crosby this offseason. Their odds jumped from +600 to -145 yesterday and are now first on DraftKings to land the Pro Bowl edge rusher.

Over the last two offseasons, Ryan Poles has stood out because of the way he’s attacked the offseason—last year focusing on the offensive line with Joe Thuney and the boys (happy retirement, Drew Dalman). Now this year, he’s making some serious noise with the Maxx Crosby trade rumors.

Will he have the stones? Will Ryan Poles put the Bears into Super Bowl contention with a move like this? Only time will tell, but you can bet your candy ass I’ll be betting on Maxx Crosby at -145 to the Bears.

Caleb wants him. The fans want him. Make it happen, Ryan.

Chuck has officially moved to 18-7 on his NHL bets for this season. When asked about his hot streak he said “18-7 on the NHL season isn’t luck, that’s pure skill. It’s not a hot streak, it’s a way of life. You’re either with me or against me. My goal is to keep winning and make people hate me as much as possible while I do it.”

Media reach cooled following a record week, though audience growth remained positive across platforms. Revenue jumped meaningfully with the launch of new St. Patrick’s Day and March basketball merchandise. The brand also expanded its event footprint with a sold-out comedy show and upcoming St. Patrick’s Day and Kentucky Derby activations.

Analyst Outlook

Bullish.
DDNK continues to translate audience momentum into real-world engagement and merchandise demand. With multiple event activations and seasonal content ahead, the market will watch whether media distribution can reaccelerate alongside revenue growth.
