Oh, by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a Netflix show. Do you remember "FUBAR?" It dropped on Netflix in May 2023? For a TV show starring Schwarzenegger, once arguably the biggest movie star in the world, it didn't garner huge attention. However, let us reiterate that there is a Netflix action-comedy show that stars Arnold Schwarzenegger the guy from the "Terminator" movies and "Twins" and now it's second season is nearing arrival. To try and jog memories and to get people excited, they have a trailer.
Well they certainly throw everything at the wall in "FUBAR." The show is something of a "True Lies" riff, and of course Schwarzenegger starred in that film. Luke and Emma Brunner are a father and daughter who both find out that the other one has been working as a CIA operative. There are issues of trust, but of course also a task at hand they have to work on together. Good premise for an action-comedy, all things considered.
"FUBAR" may get a boost in interest for the second season for a couple reasons. One, Carrie-Anne Moss aka Trinity from "The Matrix" has joined the cast as a former paramour of Schwarzenegger's character. Two, Monica Barbaro plays Emma Brunner. If her name now sounds familiar, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "A Complete Unknown." Now, "FUBAR" has an Oscar nominee in the cast!
The second season of "FUBAR" drops on June 12, 2025. That'll give you time to watch the first season if, you know, you're just finding out that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro star together in a Netflix show.

While the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders have garnered a lot of attention lately, there is one NFC team that has quietly been flying under the radar. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a one-score game to the Lions in the divisional round in 2023 and followed that up with another one-score loss to QB Jayden Daniels and the Commanders last season, proving how close they have been to the ultimate prize in the two seasons with Baker Mayfield under center. In an appearance on ESPN's "Get Up" Tuesday morning, analyst and former player Ryan Clark offered high praise for Mayfield and what the Buccaneers are capable of. "Baker Mayfield is a top-10 quarterback in this league," Clark said. "Baker Mayfield is a football player. And when I say that, I know people at home are gonna be like, 'Duh, he gets paid to play football.' No, not all quarterbacks are seen as football players. Not all quarterbacks are embraced in the locker room as one of us." Clark sees the Buccaneers as a team the rest of the league should be paying attention to because of who they have returning and the close calls in the playoffs the last two seasons. "This is a team that's been on the cusp the last two years," Clark said. "Now you think about some of the pieces they've added, the confidence in their quarterback and the way that he plays, and Todd Bowles with another year to understand winning at a high level at the head coach position. This is a team you better be extremely scared of because they're stacked and they're confident." Mayfield has been sensational during his time with the Buccaneers. Although he did throw 16 interceptions, Mayfield accounted for the third-most passing yards (4,500) in the league last season and has thrown the most TD passes (69) in the last two seasons, per StatMuse. To add even more incentive for Mayfield, the team restructured his contract, which is set to expire after the 2026 season, to include $30M in guaranteed salary for that season. The Buccaneers return a lot of production on both sides of the ball, in addition to bringing in first-round draft pick Emeka Egbuka, who topped 1,000 receiving yards twice at Ohio State and accounted for 26 total TDs. While Tampa Bay allowed the 17th-most points per game (22.7) last season, it returns the majority of its defensive production. On top of that, the offseason acquisition of veteran LB and two-time Pro-Bowler Haason Reddick, who agreed to terms on a one-year deal, should be a welcomed addition for a franchise that had some question marks on defense last season. The Buccaneers are projected to have the sixth-easiest schedule in the NFL this season and have the best chance to win the NFC South for the fifth consecutive season, according to ESPN Analytics. If Mayfield can cut back on his turnovers and the defense can create more pressure on opposing QBs, the Buccaneers could be a threat in the NFC once again as they look to put their recent nail-biting losses in the postseason behind them.
The Boston Bruins have been under pressure to retool after a disappointing season, and now a potential blockbuster move could shake the entire NHL. A major trade proposal has surfaced that could send a star goaltender to the Edmonton Oilers, a move that would give them the elite presence they've lacked in net while forcing Boston closer to a rebuild. The deal being floated by multiple outlets would send Edmonton's current starter, Stuart Skinner, along with Matthew Savoie, Beau Akey, and a 2028 first-round pick to Boston, while the Oilers land a goaltender capable of changing their Cup window overnight. Edmonton's push for a franchise goalie could reshape the Western Conference and challenge the Dallas Stars' path to the Cup If this trade goes through, the Oilers would instantly address one of their biggest weaknesses, setting up a showdown with teams like the Dallas Stars, who already see Edmonton as one of their toughest rivals. Boston, on the other hand, would fully commit to a rebuild, pairing Joonas Korpisalo with Skinner in what could be one of the NHL's weakest tandems, likely boosting their draft lottery odds in one of the most hyped draft classes in recent memory (NHL.com). An insider noted, "They weren't the only ones who had inquired about Swayman, but yes, I was told they poked around." That comment shows just how wide the interest is for this level of goalie talent (Heavy.com). I think this kind of trade would completely shift the balance of power in the West, making Edmonton even more dangerous for teams like Dallas, who could end up facing a vastly upgraded Oilers team in the playoffs. If Boston truly embraces a rebuild, moving their top goaltender could be the first domino in a massive roster overhaul, something that could shake the market for weeks.
Kristaps Porzingis isn’t shying away from expectations in Atlanta, but he’s also welcoming a fresh start without the relentless championship-or-bust expectations he faced in Boston. In a recent interview, the veteran big man opened up about his new role with the Hawks, suggesting that the fit may actually be better than his previous stop with the reigning NBA champions. “Maybe even better than Boston, where it was championship or bust,” said Porzingis, via Sports Studija and Basketball Sphere. Porzingis was a critical piece of the Celtics’ 2024-25 title run, but his stint was also marked by injuries and constant scrutiny. In contrast, Atlanta is far from a title favorite, giving Porzingis more freedom to contribute without the weight of daily championship pressure. “I think expectations are high. Atlanta’s been on the edge of the playoffs the last few years, sometimes getting through the first round,” he said. This summer, Kristaps Porzingis was one of the many big-name players to swap jerseys, and it’s something that could have a ripple effect not just on his own career, but the Eastern Conference as a whole. In Boston, Porzingis had to blend into a team stacked with stars— Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and even veteran point guard Jrue Holiday. With averages of 19.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game on 48.0% shooting, Porzingis was a key rotation player for the Celtics, and his perimeter scoring and floor spacing were essential ingredients in Boston’s 2024 championship run. But after just two seasons in Boston, injuries to their core reset their timeline, and Porzingis was the odd man out. While some feel only betrayal, Porzingis has embraced his situation and is now facing brand new opportunities. In Atlanta, he’ll have more responsibility and potentially more touches as a frontcourt anchor alongside Trae Young. That added responsibility, without the win-or-else stakes, may allow Porzingis to flourish in ways he couldn’t before. Fortunately, KP’s arrival comes at the perfect time. The Hawks need a defensive presence and a stretch big, and “KP” offers both when healthy. With career averages of 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, he could become a core piece in reshaping Atlanta’s identity, especially with Dejounte Murray gone and a new era beginning. If nothing else, Atlanta offers Porzingis the one thing Boston never could: room to breathe. In a slightly lower-pressure environment, he can take on a leadership role, stay healthy, and help push a talented but inconsistent Hawks team into real playoff relevance. Off the court, Porzingis also brings a level of maturity and professionalism that Atlanta’s young roster can benefit from. With over a decade of NBA experience, including deep playoff runs and international competition, he’s uniquely equipped to guide players like Jalen Johnson, Kobe Bufkin, and Onyeka Okongwu as they continue developing. In that sense, Porzingis offers a culture shift that could quietly elevate the Hawks into one of the East’s most intriguing teams. While he may not be in the title spotlight anymore, Kristaps seems content trading rings for rhythm and reminding us that for some stars, the best situation isn’t always the most prestigious one.
As Trey Hendrickson prepares to end his holdout, it's time for the Cincinnati Bengals to meet their star edge-rusher halfway. On Tuesday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Hendrickson plans to end his holdout amid a prolonged contract dispute by reporting to Bengals camp on Wednesday despite still seeking an extension. "Reporting to camp stops the $50,000 per day fines and also serves as a good-faith gesture to try to jumpstart negotiations," Schefter wrote. Hendrickson is owed $18.7M in 2025. Last season, Hendrickson led the NFL in sacks (17.5). He originally signed a four-year, $60M contract with the Bengals during 2021 free agency and later signed a one-year extension in July 2023 to keep him Cincinnati through 2025. With no guarantees beyond this upcoming season and the edge-rusher market exploding recently, Hendrickson certainly has a valid argument to demand an extension. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has few (if any) good reasons not to reward their best defensive player. Hendrickson, 30, has been one of the league's most prolific pass-rushers since joining the Bengals. Former agent Joel Corry, writing for CBS Sports, brushed aside concerns about a potential drop-off in production while pointing to Pittsburgh Steelers edge T.J. Watt's recent contract extension. As Corry noted, Watt, who became the league's highest-paid non-quarterback when he agreed to a three-year, $123M extension earlier this offseason, is roughly two months older than Hendrickson. "Hendrickson also accounted for 48.6% of Cincinnati's sacks last season while Watt was responsible for 28.8% of Pittburgh's," Corry wrote. On Monday, Schefter shared that the main sticking point in Hendrickson's contract dispute is guaranteed money, with the Bengals hesitant to provide any guarantees beyond 2025 on a potential three-year deal. As productive as Hendrickson has been for the Bengals — his 57 sacks since 2021 only trail Watt and Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett — the front office should be doing everything in its power to ensure he finishes his career in Cincy. Hendrickson ending his holdout is the first step to the sides reaching a resolution. The next is the Bengals giving him an extension commensurate to his production.
