If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I had a good weekend: I got a puppy! Well, if you can call a 12-year-old beagle a puppy. But while I’ve having pup snuggles and cleaning up new-to-this-house accidents, some people didn’t have it quite so good this weekend.
Conor McGregor
You’ve all seen the video by now. But his arrest for his freak attack on a bus wasn’t the only problem McGregor had this weekend.
McGregor was officially stripped of his UFC title following UFC 223 on Saturday, which featured some of the fighters that he assaulted at the event’s media day on Thursday. Two of those fighters were unable to compete due to injuries from the shattered glass. At a post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White announced that Khabib Nurmagomedov is now the undisputed lightweight champion. Supposedly, the move to strip McGregor of the belt was “due to inactivity,” not Thursday’s incident, but it doesn’t really seem like anyone is buying that, particularly since “McGregor is currently embroiled in a contract dispute with the promotion and faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing match that the UFC had a hand in promoting in August,” according to the Bleacher Report.
Either way, definitely not a good weekend for “The Notorious.” [via Bleacher Report]
Bubba Watson
There were a lot of losers at the Masters, since there’s only one winner, but out of all of the losers, Bubba Watson may be feeling the worst.
Watson, who has won two green jackets, went into Sunday at six-under, which is obviously pretty good, but still off-pace to win. So when Watson was on the green of the par-5 second hole in two, he missed his mark by a little bit.
This has to be the first time I've ever seen someone putt the ball into a bunker. #TheMasters #BubbaWatson pic.twitter.com/Auxv1Gannb

He was able to make par on the hole, but still…no jacket #3 for Bubba. [via Business Insider]
Cam Newton
Cam Newton and driving is not a good pairing. Remember back in 2014 when he flipped his truck in Charlotte? Well, he’s done it again, and yet again a truck was involved.
Cam Newton gets in ANOTHER car accident. Shouldn't he spend more time watching film and studying the playbook rather than driving his car around all of the time? HE'S A QB, NOT A RACE CAR DRIVER. Take the bus so you can watch film while riding it.https://t.co/hVeEeRRIq5

Newton was driving his Ferrari F12 on Thursday in Atlanta when he was in an accident with a dump truck. Luckily for Newton – and Panthers’ fans – Newton was unharmed. The dump truck also escaped unscathed, but no word on Newton’s matte black, $300,000 ride. [via Yahoo!]
”Francesco”
Usually being known by one name is cool, but if you’re this gentleman, not so much.
From the New York Post,
A Ferrari team mechanic was taken to the hospital with a broken leg after being struck by Kimi Raikkonen’s car during a botched tire change at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.
Raikkonen came in for his second tire change of the race after 36 of 57 laps, but the rear left tire was not secured properly. Raikkonen was given the green light to go, but it was an unsafe release and, as he pulled away, the tire hit one of the mechanics.
Ferrari later tweeted that the mechanic, named only as Francesco, likely sustained a “shinbone and fibula fracture.”
Of course, someone got it on video:
Raikkonen, who was on pace to finish third before the incident, was reportedly pissed about being taken out of contention, swiping away a water bottle in frustration as he went into the garage. Of course, it wasn’t him that got hit by a car, so I think we’ll keep this about the man only known as Francesco. [via New York Post]
All The Celeb Couples
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan.
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett.
Ruth Negga and Dominic Cooper.
Bachelor Winter Games competitors Clare Crawley and Benoit Beauséjour-Savard.
Baywatch alums Brooke Burke and David Charvet.
Property Brothers Jonathan Scott and his girlfriend.
Kelly Taylor Jennie Garth and her rando husband.
All of those celeb couples broke up last week. Was the moon in retrograde or something? If Jenna freaking Dewan can’t hold onto a guy, what hope is there for the rest of us?!.

Jenna Crowley
Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, documenting her love of all things cheese related, and hosting the new PGP podcast Don't Take It From Us. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.

Imagine the gay power couple the Property Brothers would make. Incest? Absolutely, but they would rival the shit out of anyone.
very weirdly have had this thought before, honestly can’t think of two siblings that flirt more than those two
I thought one of them was gay?
It was announced month’s ago Conor was losing his belt due to inactivity because of the 500+ days since his last UFC fight. Nothing to do with contracts or throwing dollies into bus windows.
Confirmed
Dean and Lesley also broke up
love is dead
I found it fitting that the first pro to congratulate Reed when he walked off the 18th was Bubba. It does not surprise me at all that two of the more unlikable guys on Tour are good friends.
Benoit Beauséjour-Savard sucks…..
Hey Benoit, you know what your name sounds like? Benoit ball’s. Get it?
YAY for the puppy!!!
All dogs are considered puppies no matter what age they are.
