Goddamn I love Teddy. He’s pissed because of the Holy Trinity of shit that has been 2017 (boxing only here, it’s been plenty shitty otherwise too). The Pacquiao-Horn decision, the Mayweather-McGregor swindle, and now this. Teddy is a true believer, and his faith is being tested. These are his 40 days in the desert,…

This point is 20 years old by now, but, boxing, horse-racing, and baseball have all held and lost the pinnacle of the American sports landscape. It can happen. Over a long enough timeframe, it will happen to football, even if it isn’t laid low by its immediate issues.

I’m not campaigning for Kaepernick to get a job, as I have no horse whatsoever in that race. I am, however, interested in poking fun at the absolute tidal wave of pushback that comes whenever it is suggested that NFL teams are staying away from him because of his politics, and not because of his play. Obviously it’s…

Huh. I’d’ve guessed hepatitis.

This untested kid shouldn’t be their quarterback right now. They had DeAndre Johnson, who was thr9wn off the team for hitting a girl in a bar and I think is with Kiffin at FAU now) and Malik Henry transferred because he got tired of sitting. I would rather direct snap to Cam Akers (who played some QB in HS) than let…

“Just shows me what they got over there.”

What in the goddamn hell is CC complaining about? If you can’t field your position, you shouldn’t be out there. And if you can, what do you care if he wants to stupidly take the bat out of his own hands? Of all the dumb “unwritten” baseball shit, this is definitely the dumbest.

Wait until Phil Jackson gets a gig in the NFL.

In no meritocracy does a guy who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 draft and has never thrown a pass in a regular-season game get a job over someone like Kaepernick.

For reasons passing understanding, Pirates catcher Chris Stewart threw to third baseman David Freese as soon as he could,

If they do this, I’m going to be pissed off. It turns Daenerys’s entire journey into a way to make a dude really sad. The show’s made huge strides in how it treats its female characters since its “sexposition” days, and doing something like forcing Jon to sacrifice Daenerys would take it right back to the worst and…

So is there any conclusion on if Jon’s sword’s eyes opened up after he came out of the lake? Sure looked like they did to me.

I think it depends on how realistic McGregor and his camp are on what happened in this fight, and how realistic they are about his potential for improvement. McGregor got TKO’d by a famously defensive-focused boxer known to have fragile hands who mostly wins on points fighting an idiosyncratic style. Do they think the…

If you listened to Mayweather after the fight, it’s clear he carried McGregor. When he apologized for the the Pacquaio fight, that was the nod. He could have ended it much earlier but chose not to.

Interesting that you think McGregor will go back to MMA. I understand that a lot of people thought the fight was one-sided, but to the untrained eye (notably, mine) he went nine and a half rounds with the guy. Why not stick to boxing where you fight less, make more money, and take less punishment? Unless of course…

I can’t tell if your comment implies the home field advantage in baseball is just limited to who hits last or not, but I am certain if the series was played in Arlington this week, and the Rangers didn’t give up the series at the end of the season, the Astros would have hit last in this series. In other words, they…

The Rangers would have still ended the season with a home series, and their concern about the wild card race is laughable considering they traded half the team a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Astros are now on a 19 game road trip regardless of where this series is played, halfway across the country from their stranded…

“This is fine.”

My stepdad was a former heavyweight boxer who used to beat me with weightlifting belts and knives when I didn’t perform chores well enough. I never saw him hit my mom, but I suspect he did. The last time I saw him alive, I told him if he hit my 2 year-old sister again I was going to kill him. A freak accident took him…

You obviously don't get it.
