Cooper Kupp is aiming for a rebound season after two quieter years. However, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver recently acknowledged that the 2023 NFL season was particularly tough for him during a sit-down podcast conversation with his wife, Anna.

On ‘Daily Grind,’ the Super Bowl LVI MVP and his wife discussed how the 2023 NFL season brought both challenges and growth to their relationship. She compared this to Cooper’s rookie season, which was harder because they felt isolated and didn’t share their struggles with each other. Anna shared,
“Last season, the 2023 season, was so much more difficult in the amount of things you were walking through, but it was so much more enjoyable for us to walk through it. You know, it was still really really hard, and there were such hard things, but because we did it together, we were able to find joy.”
Cooper and Anna are now focused on continuing to strengthen their bond this season by setting boundaries to protect their marriage from external pressures. Communication is crucial for them, and they intend to make an effort to stay in touch and support each other through all the challenges they face.
On a brighter note, Anna added that keeping up with their wild bunch of kids is a whole other adventure. Although their three sons, Cooper Jameson Kupp, Cypress Stellar Kupp, and Solas Reign Kupp, always keep her on her toes, she loves making a list of all the funny, yet absurd things they say, especially their eldest, who uses ‘funked up’ quite a bit.
Before diving into the conversation about the difficulties of last season, Cooper also opened up about how his rookie season setbacks affected his personal life.
Cooper Reveals Emotional Toll of Rookie Year Mistakes
During the conversation, Anna shared that she felt weighed down by Cooper’s every perceived mistake during his rookie NFL season. He would bring his struggles home, isolate himself, and neglect communication, leaving her feeling helpless and unable to offer support.
The star wide receiver agreed, acknowledging that he had carried the weight of his poor plays, such as dropping a touchdown pass in Week 4 and fumbling on the two-yard line against the Vikings.
“I think in rookie year, there were some very clear failures, like dropping a game-winning pass in week four; fumbling on the two-yard line against Minnesota. Times like that made you feel like you were carrying the weight of the world.”
Nevertheless, the power couple learned quite a bit along the way. They realized that while it is acceptable to bring work issues home, discussing them to overcome them openly is equally crucial.
Looking back from 2017 to now, it’s amazing how much Cooper and Anna have grown. They are a team, and that makes all the difference.
In his efforts to best Michael ‘Venom’ Page at UFC 303, Ian Garry had to prove his his wrestling prowess inside the octagon. It seems the hours practicing with team Chute Box are paying off since he looked much better on the ground than the Brit. However, Garry’s continuous efforts to submit Page saw him earn a majority decision victory did not sit well with fans.
After the trash talk that the two had indulged in, fans expected the fighters to just murder each other on their feet. But what was supposed to be a bloody spectacle, turned out to be a series of takedown attempts.

Fans, of course, weren’t too happy, especially with Garry.
“Ian Garry probably the most boring fighter on the roster”

This fan shared a GIF of a scene from Peaky Blinders where Thomas Shelby holds a gun to his head, to relate to how he felt while watching the fight and called for Garry to fight Belal Muhammad,
“Ian Garry vs Belal Muhammad”
This fan was so frustrated that he vowed to never buy a PPV with Ian Garry on it again to save himself from getting bored,
Another fan called out other fans for hyping up Ian Garry for no reason. He believes the Irishman is not worth the hype,
“Y’all gotta stop hyping Ian Garry up. Honestly. Just stop. Boring fighter, disingenuous personality….enough already.”
Y’all gotta stop hyping Ian Garry up. Honestly. Just stop. Boring fighter, disingenuous personality. Just cause he’s from Ireland he’s got to be made out like a god, enough already.
However, Ian Garry did not look at it the same way, for him a win is a win. He is already looking forward to his next challenge and has called for a title shot next.
Machado wants to follow in Conor McGregor’s footsteps
Conor McGregor could have made all the tremors in his career and nobody would have cared if didn’t KO Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title and then finish Jose Aldo in 13 seconds for the featherweight title.
The gold makes the man and it makes him insanely rich. So Garry knows exactly what he wants to do.
Following his victory over the Brit, he made his intentions about wanting a title shot very clear. Calling the future inevitable, the Irishman claimed that it didn’t matter who he was fighting.
“I am coming for that world title, 15-0, undefeated, unstoppable. I don’t care who’s next, where it is, I’m gonna be a world champion. The future is inevitable.”
All that said, Garry will have to wait for his title shot as they are many in the line before him, much more vicious with more convincing wins and a better pedigree but if he continues with his win streak, who knows!
