But what if someone did?

“But for the 50-100 ranked guys, not sure it’s as simple as that. The more money you have= the better access and experimentation methods you might be able to utilize.”

There are a number of high-profile athletes across sports (Novak, Tom Brady, Steve Nash) who had what many of us would consider extreme or wacky diets, but they all played or are still playing at a high level past their prime. As my nom de Kinja attests, I’m not about to embark on such a diet myself, but there’s no…

I’m sure that’s one of many arguments he’ll make.

The legal basis is that this is a lethal sport, and the UFC knowingly let Lesnar in the octagon even though he was doped to the max. At the size of the HW division, and the power they punch with, it’s not a huge stretch to say that the UFC put Hunt in danger over and above what he can reasonably expect (assuming he…

Not really true. While there is a win bonus for each fight, every fighter negotiates their appearance fee. The Rousey-Nunes fight that just took place, Rousey got millions and Nunes (the champ) was paid 200K I think, might have ben 100K.

That Husky is a very good dog.

I haven’t watched a pregame show or SC in years, but I wonder if the “do you get Berman’s appeal?” is a generational thing or not. I’m oldz enough to remember when people actually watched SC, and he was indeed an interesting and colorful guy who made watching SC worthwhile. But the thing about the old days is, they…

It’s about the prize money. Winning even just one qualifying match at the Open is $10K (Aus $). Winning 3 quallies and getting into the main draw is worth 25K, and if you win the 1st round, it’s 50K. Sneak into the 3rd or 4th round and you suddenly can afford to travel with a coach, trainer, etc. But at the Hobart,…

I’m truly disappointed Trump didn’t choose the boxing announcer who is famous for the line, “Let’s get ready to rumble!”

I’m sure that many of us would agree with you that IN THEORY the criminal justice system should be the place where felony accusations are handled. But as Diana pointed out, that system fails women consistently and repeatedly, despite constant pressure to reform it. So a parallel system has been set up, to give…

There are very few pioneers who say, “I got mine, now shut the door, no one else gets in.” I’m sure Fisher would be proud to have another woman cast (and get paid) for a classic role.

The Celtics franchise was one of the most progressive in the league; the fans (of which I am one) are a whole ‘nother matter. But I always think it’s funny to bring up Bird, McHale, Cousy, etc, like they’re evidence of Boston racism. These are undeniably some of the greatest players ever.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t know reddit was so huge, I thought it was mostly MRA and of course I’ve heard about The Donald. Considering that Serena is a Jehovah’s Witness, I was wondering why she’d marry such a guy.

I’m way too scared to go on reddit except for the briefest of dalliances, so a Q to people who do use the site: Is it generally a decent place but with a few infamously awful forums? Similar to the way that Twitter can be good or awful depending on who you follow? Or is it pretty much pure muck?

Medicine has a similar issue, called medication adherence. There may be a “best” dosing regimen for a medicine or multiple medicines, but if it’s not likely the patient will go with that program (for whatever reason: side effects, finances, too hard to keep track of it all), then the simpler method, while…

Referring specifically to the passage you quoted, the method works if paying off a small 17% APR keeps you motivated to taclke the 19% next. The $$ difference isn’t material enough. The caveat comes in when it’s a choice between a small bill at 5.9% vs a large one at 19%, obviously you have to ignore the snowball…

Can’t blame the south for this one. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio.... My niece in Boston texted me on election night, “Wisconsin? I thought those people were nice!”
