Being the outspoken character Rogan is, he doesnt hold back from making his opinions heard. His podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, has been at the helm of many controversies in the past.

Recently, audio-sharing platform Spotify deleted over a hundred episodes of his podcast which was accused of spreading misinformation. This invited many reactions from various social commentators, some of whom supported the iconic UFC commentator. Renowned psychologist Jordan Peterson, too, defended Rogan and said it would be a mistake for Spotify to let him go.

He laid down the possible outcome of Spotify de-platforming Rogan. He explained, So whats gonna happen? They kick him off? Well, he will just have another platform like tomorrow and he will have all the money Spotify gave him which was actually quite a lot of money.

Rogan, who is a popular podcast host, an entrepreneur, and an integral part of the UFC commentator team, enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. He never shies from following his heart and doing things that please him.

Apart from being a vocal gun-rights activist, Rogan also has a knack for possessing firearms. He even called guns the best martial arts on the Lex Fridman podcast.

Rogan himself owns thousands of dollars worth of guns and also likes to learn the art of using them. In an Instagram post, Rogan shared a video of him at a shooting range, enjoying a shooting drill.

Viral TikTok: Best years with our kids aren’t over after they turn 4 – Insider

Five years ago, I was a mom to a newborn and a 2-year-old. I struggled with postpartum depression, sleep deprivation, and was worn out from being needed all the time.

I felt guilty that I found it so hard, and I dreamed of a time when it wouldn't be.

When people said things like, "Enjoy every moment, it goes by fast," it felt like a punch to the gut.

In a recent viral video on TikTok, Jordan Peterson a controversial psychologist, author, YouTube personality, and fathers'-rights advocate says in a voice-over: "You have little kids for four years, and if you miss it, it's done."

That's exactly what I struggled with, but now that my kids are older, I want other moms who are struggling like I did to know that our kids are fun past their 4th birthday.

When my kids were little, I felt guilty for wanting time away from them. I felt shamed by some moms with older kids who ignored my struggles and instead told me, "It'll be over before you know it."

Every day seemed to drag. I wanted to create magical moments for my kids but struggled to do that through my depression and exhaustion.

Now that my kids are 5 and 7, I get to sit at the dinner table and talk and laugh at their jokes. I get a front-row seat to their ideas, hopes, and dreams. They can communicate their needs more effectively and they can keep up on family hikes. They are so much more independent and a joy to be around.

Because of all this, I felt compelled to create my own version of the Peterson video on TikTok. I wanted to give a different perspective to parents who might be struggling as I did in the early years.

This is the text I wrote to go with the video:"You have little kids for four years.And if you miss it Well, you won't miss it, because chances are you're with those babies all day and all night and you know little else in those years.

You have sacrificed your time, your body, your career, your energy, and likely your mental health to create a loving and full life for them.

Of course, you want to enjoy as many moments as possible, but the reality is, those four years are some of the hardest, exhausting, patience-testing years, and sometimes you're just surviving.

You're already acutely aware of how precious it is and constantly reminded how fast it goes. You already feel the pressure to make it great and feel guilty for the things you do and don't do.

Of course, you want to make the best of it, but when you lack sleep and space for yourself, it makes it incredibly difficult to soak in.

And while you might look back and miss those little years and mourn what you were not able to fully experience due to the stresses of it all, you will remember the beauty of it all without the sheer exhaustion.

And you'll know you did your very best, despite how hard it was. And you'll have so many more years to look forward to with them. It doesn't end after 4."

Within minutes of hitting "post," I started getting thousands of responses from moms around the world thanking me and sharing how triggered the original video made them feel: shame, guilt, and pressure.

As a mom, I want to be seen, to be heard, and to be validated when I say, "This is hard." I worry that I am not enough, no matter how hard I try. Raising kids is incredibly difficult, but being made to feel like you've lost your chance if you don't nail it in the first four years makes it even harder. I needed something different than the "you'll miss it" narrative.

I needed support, not more pressure.

Patrick Peterson Provides Update on Future with Vikings – VikingsTerritory.com

Patrick Peterson

Leave the decision up to him, and cornerback Patrick Peterson wants to return to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2022 season.

But the teams new leadership has to ask first.

Peterson has reiterated a couple of times this offseason his longing to remain with the Vikings after a relatively successful 2021 campaign. He tabulated a 63.0 grade from Pro Football Focus last season, acting as the most consistent cornerback on the roster. Cameron Dantzler was in the Mike Zimmer doghouse for a couple of months, Bashaud Breeland was erratic (in more ways than one), Mackensie Alexander struggled, and Jeff Gladney was cut before the season began.

On his podcast this week, Peterson said on his future with the Vikings:

I stand where I stood in December. I loved everything about Minnesota. At the end of the day, the balls in their court now if they want me back.

So, it sounds like Minnesota basically needs to pick up the phone, assuming it wants the soon-to-be 32-year-old cornerback back in 2022.

Minnesota should absolutely want Peterson back because the CB room as of early March is skimpy. The depth chart consists of Cameron Dantzler, Kris Boyd, and Harrison Hand. Outside of Dantzler if he continues to develop at his current pace that is not a fieldable batch of cornerbacks in the modern NFL.

As a result, most mocks draft predict the Vikings select a cornerback like Ahmad Gardner or Derek Stingley Jr. in Aprils draft. The selection of either of those men would blend best player available and team need for Minnesota with the 12th overall pick.

Peterson made humongous news when he signed with the Vikings in 2021 on Saint Patricks Day, no less as no fans or pundits even realized he was on the teams radar or vice-versa. However, Peterson sought to play for former coach Mike Zimmer, so the team readily obliged.

Now, Kevin OConnell is in charge, an offensive-minded coach. OConnell hired Ed Donatell to lead the defense in 2022, shifting to a 3-4 scheme after decades of 4-3 systems for the Vikings.

Finally, on Tuesday, the Vikings signed linebacker Jordan Hicks from you guessed it the Arizona Cardinals, Petersons old stomping grounds. The two played together for a couple of seasons in the desert. That move cannot hurt the realism of Peterson re-joining the Vikings.

Plus, there are Chander-Jones-to-Minnesota rumors, as well.

Peterson also mentioned on his show other teams have inquired about his free agency.

Dustin Baker is a political scientist who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2007. His YouTube Channel, VikesNow, debuts in March 2022. He hosts a podcast with Bryant McKinnie, which airs every Wednesday with Raun Sawh and Sally from Minneapolis. His Viking fandom dates back to 1996. Listed guilty pleasures: Peanut Butter Ice Cream, The Sopranos, and The Doors (the band).

For now, Cardinals appear to be leaning on youth at several positions – Cards Wire

We have not yet finished the first week of NFL free agency, but the Arizona Cardinals have not done much. They have re-signed several of their own players and added one player from outside the organization.

It is still early and they could still sign several players, but it appears that they are willing to lean on some youth in key roles.

Which young players appear to be on their way to a prominent role this coming season, barring other moves in free agency?

The Cardinals have not made any moves on the offensive line, which makes it appear that they are willing to roll with Jones and Justin Murray.

Kliff Kingsbury is already on the record as saying they are expecting a lot from Jones in 2022.

He played guard for the first time and had plenty of ups and downs.

Moore had a limited role as a rookie because of the receivers ahead of him on the depth chart. As of right now, he is slated to be the Cardinals No. 2 receiver after DeAndre Hopkins.

Even if they add someone to play the Z like A.J. Green last season, Moore will at least be WR3.

After being inactive his entire rookie season, he had a few opportunities to play last season and showed there is some potential. As of right now, with the re-signing of James Conner and the departure of Chase Edmonds, he is slated to be the No. 2 running back.

He has some of the same skills and abilities that Edmonds has, so they could be counting on him to be the guy to spell Conner.

Of course, this is still early.

Lawrence has already had a prominent role and was a starter for much of the season. However, with Jordan Phillips gone, the starting defensive line appears to be set with J.J. Watt, Zach Allen and Lawrence.

If you havent caught it from comments about Lawrence by the coaches, they really, really like him.

He just has to stay healthy.

The Cardinals went and released Jordan Hicks, whom Collins was supposed to supplant in the starting lineup as a rookie. Hicks didnt let that happen and Collins saw his playing time and role decrease over the course of the season.

With Hicks gone, the job is Collins to lose.

The Cardinals already relied heavily upon Simmons last season, as he played over 90% of the teams defensive snaps. He was used in a variety of roles.

He again will be called upon to do a lot.

He was already counted on as a rookie to be a starter. He struggled late in the year. But it appears they will roll with him again. Robert Alford, Antonio Hamilton and Kevin Peterson are all free agents. The Cardinals signed Jeff Gladney.
