He ought to be quite popular in Boston. I mean IT is great, Horford too. Buy Heyward? There’s just something different about him that they’ll find appealing.

Zards is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Its the Wiz and everyone beats them.

He has a point.

If you get to call them the ‘Tics, I get to call them the ‘Zards.

Her car was the one t-boned, she didn’t hit anyone, her car was hit. She was found to be at fault because they ruled that she ran a red light, she insists she was stuck in the intersection. The driver of the other car (the dead man’s wife) insists she couldn’t stop in time.

Just because there are people who are suffering more doesn’t mean that you can’t report on Venus’ own personal hell regarding this matter. I couldn’t imagine losing a loved one like that, I also couldn’t imagine how it would it feel to know that I caused that tragedy. Her story is worth sharing.

Sounds like you need a jellybaby

But with 30 wins they could get the 8th seed now.

How close is the NBA to just straight up record ranking for the playoffs and saying the hell with who finishes where in their own conference? Top 16 are in, regardless of east v. west.

Sure, because there’s no racial aspect to this fight at all. The fact that African-Americans & Latinos have dominated boxing for the last 40 years has nothing to do with MMA’s popularity amongst its legion of white bro-dog fans.

i tended to try and use the term martial arts rather than mixed for a reason, while you could argue that mma goes back to jeet kun do from the 60s, and sanshou and pankraeon from hundreds of years ago, i tend to talk about floyd a sa martial artist, despite what an idiot of one he is, because the roots of mma go into…

It’s going to be split among friends so at worst we’ll be drunk and commiserate with each other about how absurdly short the event was, heh.

I’m curious though, what would constitute a non-ass kicking to you?

He probably will. Partially because they asked McGregor to box instead of Mayweather to do MMA. If it had gone the other way, the odds would be very different (not necessarily reversed.) There’s a reason we don’t pit basketball players against hockey players for the title of “best athlete.”

It is probably going to be rough - McGregor is used to using much different techniques, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him break some boxing rules once the fight is going and he’s been popped a few times. Mayweather would likely be way outmatched for the same reason if they were using more permissive UFC or maybe…

I think MMA is doing fine (even though I am not a fan), and I think the sport will survive McGregor losing a decision to Mayweather. I don’t know if MMA will become this big monolith that people claim it will be. I read on this site that UFC needed this fight because it is financially on shaky ground. It needs…

Delusional fans are, maybe. Actual MMA fans are cringing in a corner waiting for this whole Conor McGregor shit to blow over.

MMA fans White people are desperate that their latest, greatest hope for legitimacy is about to get his ass kicked by an old boxer.

You are aware that boxers are commonly referred to as “fighters” and a boxing match is typically referred to as a “fight,” correct? And even technical or defensive boxers are known as “technical fighters” or “defensive fighters.” And he’s 49-0. If Laura had called him one of the greatest knockout artists or sluggers,…

Hawk draws so much of the ire that no one pays mind to how awful Ed and DJ are on the radio. That was garbage on their part.
