That probably should have only been a double, but once the baking soda came into play, there was an extra base.

At what point to fans just stop showing up/tuning in? I mean, Dolan doesn’t give two fucks, as long as he’s cashing the big checks.

Also, both actors.

Bloggers aren’t journalists. Gawkers blogs have always been about tabloid blogging more than anything. Stir shit up and let the profits roll in.

Oh, I think it goes way before that. Go back to the turn of the 20th century, with guys like Pulitzer and Hearst. As I said to someone else, it goes back as far as people got paid for journalism. It’s difficult/impossible for a reader to assess the validity of a journalistic story (or, on a similar note, check the…

Next stop (or stoop): McGregor will call Mayweather out for domestic abuse and Mayweather, AGAIN, will have no comeback. And McGregor will get a lot of love for doing so.

This press tour, whether you think of it as disgraceful or funny (or, like me, both), it is certainly entertaining, and thus will sell.

They haven’t worked out the answer to that question in relation to the president of the United States - they’re hardly going to figure it out now for these two shitheads throwing hands.

This disgraceful show by all involved is an embarrassment to the quiet dignity and grace with which boxing has always carried itself. Don King must be spinning in his grave.

It reminds me of that time Mike Tyson fought Secretariat in international waters.

Did you watch the guy in college? He plays zero D. They didn’t draft him for D.

I love the take, though: Two triple-doubles followed by “But his defense!” smh

Big deal. Joe Jackson threw an entire World Series without any shoes!

MacGregor bakes a spectacular six tiered cake only to be defeated by Mayweather’s technically perfect sourdough loaf

That is how I imagine Floyd pays his taxes. Just walks in to a Federal building and throws money and yells he’s paying his taxes a la Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.
