It sad that everytime someone in a position like this dies, people assume a conspiracy. Look at the suicide rates for veterans. Don’t look for ghosts in the machine. Conspiracy thinking is endemic and doing great harm.

As of right now this sounds to me like a mental health/substance abuse thing, which means we are owed, and should expect, no explanation.

Mostly.

Feel free to list all the fighters who have held two titles at the same time

I am absolutely not blaming her for what happened, but I don’t understand her thinking or choices that lead her to that incident either

Holm is a smart fighter trained by probably the best gym in the world. I believe they will have drilled into her the perfect strategy and she is well equipped to follow it to a T.

“Congratulations to the NCAA for forgetting to adequately enforce their own byzantine rulebook.”

Lauren, send some Deadspin staffers to do some investigative journalism. Pull the fire alarm and see if he makes it out on foot.

Yeah, but he was a Cardinal, so no doubt he covered it up The Right Way.

I think this could potentially be a nice thing to do. But only in the scenario of like Bill Self talking to some DIII team. Not unranked Missouri being oh-so-magnanimous to Stephen F Austin.

HOLY FUCK. You abysmally stupid fucking moron. THEY DO NOT HAVE A 1ST OR 2ND ROUND DRAFT PICK THIS OFFSEASON!!! How can so many people that are so utterly fucking clueless comment on a single article?

This is an outstanding point, thank you for pointing that out. It just helps the Browns*.

*Until the Browns trade the pick for a 2034 1st, 2nd & 3rd rounder.

You are wrong and don’t know anything about football if you think he wasn’t a “very good football player”.

Just want to say thank you for all your work, especially your incredible investigative pieces year after year. Deadspin is a great place for dick jokes and making fun of Austin Rivers, but for me, no author’s byline here commands as much attention as yours.
