It's Saturday, which means after a one-week hiatus (so I could cruise my way through the Bahamas), The Punch-Up is back to get you caught up on all the news you may have missed this week!
And what a week it was…
We've got figure skater Alyssa Liu shocking the world and taking gold for the Stars and Stripes, Gina Carano hopping back in the ring, and RFK Jr. and Kid Rock pumping iron in the name of Making America Healthy Again.
And yes, RFK was working out in jeans.
There's plenty more where that came from, so let's dig right on in!
