This could be a crossover topic with the gaming sub but I wanted to emphasize the sports aspect.

I guess post anything related to the virtual sports world or who would win in any hypothetical matchups.

Oh, and here's Bruce Lee vs. Conor McGregor in EA Sports' latest UFC 3:

Here Rosen throws his first career TD pass (after almost throwing his first INT):
