Chess has the same visa as athletes for travel and for tax purposes. Gamers and chess players are not athletes. What decision makers are you even talking about - gamers, fans and marketing departments? That's like saying mushrooms are now meat because every one who likes, grows and sells mushrooms agrees. It's beyond…

What kind of hell did you crawl out of?!! The nerve of tentatively suggesting something like that. You hate kitties!

Well, she is functioning at a certain level. Got an MD. One might hope getting meds might change her political outlook but I dunno.

Can the martyr act, you said something bizarre and stupid and people called you on it. News goes in cycles, when the next big thing comes up it won't be to bury the Sterling case.

Yeah, the whole media is covering up that case... Sure.

Having disorders does not preclude being an asshole.

The franchise is lucrative, that's why they don't do anything. To be fair, if he is known for being this crusty old man who pushed the envelope, getting fired or such seems odd.

Clarkson is an asshole. His surly bastard schtick just isn't that funny and seems to have at least a little actual malice behind it, unlike someone like Howard Stern for example.

No, all of your points are silly.

The dude NEVER gets his bell wrung. He never had a fight like Ali did with Frazier, Foreman, etc. Mayweather has been down like twice in his career - once was when he broke his hand and took a knee. The only time he has been hurt was on the ropes once. NEJM did not do a study of people who fight like Mayweather does -…

I always knew weird. Eccentric. Ego driven. This, though, is getting into Caligula territory.

This is why he carries his roofies in sugar cube form, so they can eat it out of his palm.

One would assume that is not an idea you would have to ever need to spell out for anyone. Guess not.

Jesus Christ, did you see the sonogram story? Fuck.

The hours he keeps are very weird, he needs to think about what he will do when he retires and if he wants that kind of payroll just so he can play hoops at 4 am.

Huh. I think I only watched the Canelo ones. I just remember his chef pronouncing Provencal with a hard K sound.

Not gonna bicker but words have meaning and marketing ploys don't really dictate them. Gamers like the idea of being athletes and talking about hand eye coordination. Playing the cello requires coordination too and it's not a sport. A skill alone won't make it a sport.

This counts because the guy is a major Philly sports fan. Buddy of mine and I are down the shore. Wildwood, I think. He has just gotten dumped and is angry and not feeling the milk of human kindness. Kids pull the money under the boardwalk prank on him.

In the 24/7 shows I have seen, he has a personal chef cooking him healthy meals.

You are talking out your ass. The guy has almost never been in trouble. Hasn't been rocked in years.
