Tua Got Macgruber Trending
Head Coach Mike McDaniel was trying to get across that his star player Tua is okay after his second head injury and shared a story about the plane ride home with the press. He said on the flight, Tua “pulled out his phone and started playing my cult favorite classic movie, ‘MacGruber,’ that he watched and was laughing with me.

The neural network was trained on [the] content of Die Hard and Fifth Element, so my character is similar to the images of that time. With the advent of the modern technology, I could communicate, work, and participate in filming, even being on another continent. It’s a brand new and interesting experience for me, and I [am] grateful to our team.”
Can’t be worse than the last ten movies he made.
