A man pulls a shark by the tail!

Not everyone spends their Friday typing on a keyboard…

Some have fun playing with sharks on the edge of a beach, like this named Australian who pulled a shark by its tail!

Swimmers gathered at White Hills Beach in Bouvard, south of Perth, were then further “shocked” to see the man grab the shark by the tail and pull it back into the water!

The shark in question was about two meters long. It obviously became agitated, and as the water got deeper, the man crouched down, holding the shark’s dorsal fin, to avoid being hit.

Note that in Western Australia, where this scene took place, no less than 25 sharks were spotted, including a huge white shark of five meters!

Did China spy on Canada and the US?

On Thursday, Pentagon officials reported that a Chinese spy balloon had been floating in the north of the country for a few days, after a brief stint… in Canada!

A Pentagon spokesman said he was very confident that the ball in question belonged to the People’s Republic of China. For the last two days, the ball has been flying over specific locations to obtain information.

According to the Pentagon, the balloon was seen over Montana, where one of the three U.S. nuclear missile silos is located, at Malmstrom Air Force Base.

U.S. President Joe Biden wanted his military to shoot down the balloon, but his military leaders have strongly advised against doing anything that could endanger many civilians.

Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon spokesman, actually filed an update about the Chinese balloon.

Super Bowl LVII: ticket prices are outrageous!

On Sunday, February 12, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will face off at State Farm Stadium in Glendale in Super Bowl LVII.

Recall that the Eagles lifted the Lombardi Trophy in 2018 with a Jason Kelce, and the Chiefs did the same with Travis Kelce two years later.

That said, tickets to an NFL Super Bowl game cost two legs, two arms and more, and Super Bowl LVII will not be an exception because both Kelce brothers will be at the most popular sporting event of the year.

Back to the point. The lowest price you can find on the market right now, via Vivid Seatsis $4560 before all fees are added.

As for tickets in the 100 sections, they start at $6110 before fees, obviously.

But if you want to attend Super Bowl LVII, the tickets may not be cheap, but the trip is worth itfor soccer fans.

Also remember that the halftime show will be explosive due to a performance by Rihanna. In the case of the national anthem, it will be provided by the greatest of cowboys, Chris Stapleton.

LIV Golf: Donald Trump hosts three events!

LIV Golf has announced its schedule for its second official season, supported by the Saudis, and it contains 14 events within seven countries.

In fact, three of these events will be played on a Donald Trump course, including one in Washington…

Trump National Golf Club in Washington will be one of the courses owned by the former president that will host one of the events in this so-called “rebel” series during the 2023 course.

In the inaugural season, Trump-owned Bedminster and Miami(Doral Golf Club) were on the inaugural schedule. Doral actually hosted last season’s finale. This year, however, the final will be held in Saudi Arabia.

It’s worth noting that Trump showed up at both of the events on his courses in 2022, taking the opportunity to greet the crowds that were there to witness what looked like a political rally.

LIV Golf ‘s schedule allows golfers to experience fantastic venues and championship sites, and this official launch of the series will bring the sport into a new era.

The LIV Golf Series is funded by the Saudi Public Investment Funds, and players competing in the series in 2023 will compete for as much as $405 million over the 14 tournaments. This is in contrast to the $150 million distributed in 2022.
