True, that is one aspect of the dog personality, another is one that sleeps on its back, legs spread, tongue hanging out, for like 12-14 hours a day. That’s probably what they’re getting at with the old “being a lazy dog” bit.

It’s a tactic. He’s a kickboxer with mostly lousy wrestling skills, so he keeps his hands low to bait guys into punches he can slip and counter, and also to intercept takedown attempts.

I believe he retired from fighting not long ago, he’s a coach now.

Counter-counterpoint: Johnny Johnson was pure evil.

I’m hoping the angle they take is that he’s an alien, and that good parents and a healthy, stable upbringing aren’t enough to make him human.

That’s insane. I gave Wilder the second round, but I could have seen it going the other way, too. I thought Fury won nine of twelve rounds.

I have your back on this one. I worked at Wendy’s in high school, and the meat was not frozen. It was in the cooler, not the freezer.

Okay, this might be pedantic, but Louis doesn’t bury his kid (or his cat) in the local pet cemetery. He buries them in the old Micmac Indian burial ground that’s on the other side of the pet cemetery. A fairly important distinction, if you ask me. Not that you did, but still...

This reminds me of the time my son, who was 10 at the time, asked specifically to hear “Suspect Device” by Stiff Little Fingers, then told me they were his favorite band. I have never been more proud.

Maybe, just maybe, it’s because Barry Petchesky isn’t being nominated to the fucking Supreme Court. Weird how lifetime Supreme Court appointees are held to a higher standard than sportswriters.

It’s interesting to me that there was ever a time that you thought about Frank Stallone on consecutive days at all.

Some bones to pick: The GOAT GOAT of sports is Gretzky, without a doubt. No one ever dominated their sport more thoroughly than he dominated hockey, and it is unlikely anyone ever will again. The greatest boxer of all time is Sugar Ray Robinson, and again, it’s not even close. The reason people say it’s Ali is because…

Hopefully you are right, I read it as they were doing 8 episodes and that’s it, but what you are saying makes a lot more sense.

No way is eight episodes enough. This should be at least five 13-episode seasons.

I’m about halfway through the season right now, and I am pretty underwhelmed so far. Now I think I am starting to understand why.

I don’t know if you intended this or not, but I totally read that in Iceman’s voice from Top Gun.

So jean shorts are out, cargo shorts are out, gym shorts are out, and now khaki shorts are out. What kind of fucking shorts are okay these days? It’s getting fucking ridiculous.

I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but Michael Shannon’s wife in the end scene is the voice of Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time, as well as a million other cartoons.

Correct. I am not saying that there should have been no reaction, just that this level of overreacting was unwarranted. I would definitely have said something to someone at the airline, but I would not have acted like I was terrified and my life was on the line. It’s ridiculous.
