God, I can’t wait to see Joel Embiid play in these jerseys in six years.

There’s nothing more American than cloaking failure in patriotism.

He beat Houston Alexander, who beat Keith Jardine, who beat Chuck Liddell. Therefore, through the transative property, Kimbo is a UFC hall of famer.

I watched an OTL w/ Royce Gracie a while back. It was interesting bc He says he can’t watch UFC anymore bc it’s a bastardize version of what he created, which was no holds bar who’s the best fighter. He stated it has now become who’s the best at taking advantage of what the rules are. Funny thing is Ken would have…

I went to UFC 4 in Tulsa in 1994. Honestly, it was one of the worst of the early UFCs, but still pretty intense. Severn, Gracie, Keith Hackney (the Nebraska cop who punched the sumo wrestler in the head so hard and so many times, he broke his hand), and Roy Van Clief !! (Who is now 72 years old - holy crap!)

Nice article. I’ve followed MMA since UFC 1, so this fight is bittersweet for me. I too think it’s going to end badly for Ken. His only hope is being fast enough to avoid Kimbo’s punches, to take Kimbo down and to submit him. I just don’t see any way he can pull that off. He’s going to get clipped either darting in or…

Not to diminish the contributions of your colleagues at Deadspin, but I’m always impressed by the quality of your work Greg, keep up the good work. (I especially enjoyed the Jason Whitlock pieces, I get a tingly feeling in my toes with that shitbag gets what’s coming).

Early UFC was so great. Watching not MMA trained athletes, but karate vs wrestling, ju jitsu versus big brawler (like Tank Abbot) or hybrid wrestlers-strikers like Shamrock was awesome.

You will be hearing from Bob Sapp’s attorneys!

I thought his new lawyer was Deleterious M. Alfeasance.

Michael Oher Says The Blind Side Was Bad For His Career

To fill my role of Carolina stan in the comments. Let me just say that Oher might stink, but he can’t be worse than the last guy, Byron Bell. Bell doesn’t belong in the league as a back up.

Sorry, Clinton, you had your chance to watch ESPN’s 30 for 30 like the rest of the world. You had an opportunity to never work again and never care for anything financial. Something you didn’t have in college or a youngster. Nobody feels bad for you. Move along.

Not to mention all that money he spent on wigs.

The problem is not that she’s a white person leading an NAACP chapter. The problem is that she’s a white person who seemingly lied about being black and then headed an NAACP chapter.

In other related news, the city of Philadelphia will stop referring to the 76ers as a basketball team, since they seem to be playing another sport against their opponent professional basketball teams. They’ll now be know as that “team that exists.” But I do recognize that they're in the right here.

Actually, Jeremy Clarkson killed it when he couldn’t conduct himself like a professional in the workplace.

Incorrect, thoroughbreds do the deed. No artificial insemination. Standardbreds (pacers and trotters) are bred via insemination.

The story about the cancer-free anniversary “date” is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read. That’s some Ralph Wiggum/Lisa Simpson shit right there.
