We’re a quarter of the way into the 21st century and somehow the video quality looks worse than UFO videos.
The robot is real and the robot fight league is real, but the power of those kicks are exaggerated. Frankie Lapenna is a comedian who does absurd things and gets into staged fights just to get beat up.
My favorite comment on the video is, ‘Some people will come back to this video after 20 or 30 years and will say “we could have stopped all this if we wanted to.'”

The ball was touched by a defender after it was punted and didn’t cross the line of scrimmage before the punter caught it?

Week 9 bye week, November 2025. The quarterback of the 6-2 Buccaneers can be found at the NYC Marathon sipping on some nice lookin cold ones.
Since this moment, the Bucs have gone 2-9, with losses to the tanking Dolphins during a key playoff run and now famously the Browns.
This key moment in modern Buccaneers history shall be known as the Meltdown at the Marathon.
As always, Go Bucs.
