Song of the Midweek: “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden

It’s game day…why not? Here is some Iron Maiden: If you need a little extra boost, we’ve got you covered here, too:

Entertainment Rundown

***House of the Dragon***

Here is to hoping the slog of the first two seasons will lead to greatness for the third season (fingers crossed):

*Jackass*

There might not be much from pop culture linked to the early aughts than *Jackass* — the new age prank and stunt show produced by MTV. Back then, the network merged some groups that were doing pranks / stunts from different areas and the chemistry just worked. There was a lot of success, a lot of pain, and some horrible fallout during the come down from that success, but the boys are back — and they’re lookin’ for trouble:

Predictions

Bayern Munich and PSG are two of the most powerful offensive teams in the world — and some would argue the two most lethal. As much as everyone is pointing to each team’s backline as holding the key to the tie, the reality is that Tuesday’s game will come down to which team is most efficient around the opposition’s net. While each team creates a lot of chances, the nerves spike in games like this and things just get a little more tight. Sure, Bayern Munich holds the mental edge of knowing it beat PSG last fall, but Luis Enrique’s side has the added motivation of revenge. And while it was hard for some people (*me…I am those people*) to accept that PSG finally got the job done and won the Champions League last year, the team is absolutely legit and deserving of wearing that crown. As they say, however, heavy is the head that wears the crown. At times this season, PSG seems to have crumbled under the weight of that title. Taking every club’s best shot can be grueling and that will not change against a very motivated Bayern Munich side. This will be an offensive battle between two attacks primed and ready to explode, but who can do just enough to pull away? We’ve got Bayern Munich in what should be a free-wheeling, rollicking, and up-and-down battle. ***Prediction: PSG 2-3 Bayern Munich*** Other Champions League prediction: ***Prediction: Atlético Madrid 0-1 Arsenal***
