GGG has claimed that he wants to fight four times this year: March, June (in Kazakhstan, presumably against Saunders), Sept (ideally against Canelo) and then Dec. He stays in such good shape and takes such little punishment that it seems possible. Presumably Saunders won’t offer much opposition, and I imagine he’ll…

More importantly, Desus and Mero is a great show.

OK, make that three people?

*golfclap*

I realize Spence has bigger fish to fry, but man I’d love to see him annihilate Broner.

Note the presence of the small child at the beginning of the video (Danny’s daughter, I believe). Lovely guy, this one.

I think Angel and judge Kevin Morgan were the only two people in the building who had it scored for Garcia.

Its pretty tough to watch. I think Zlaticanin was pretty much toast after the uppercut, he could’ve been finished off with a lot less. But Garcia — incredibly skilled as he is — crushed him with that final blow after he was already dazed and in big trouble.

Are you talking about the left after he caught him with the uppercut? I’m pretty sure that did relatively little damage compared to the punch immediately before, and the one after.

Everything Garcia did was completely above-board, I am not sure how this is grounds for complaint. Boxing — like football — is inherently…

I think the content of this write-up differs from the stated premise of the “least important” writers. Some of these writers are very important. Incompetent perhaps, morally compromised, sure.

I also think Silver effectively altered his views on Trump as the election went on. That whole crew was far too dismissive of…

Glad they made sure to set out tables that had no real heft to them, hmmm.

Ok now how do I gamble on this.

I don’t think Blanton in that situation was that bad. He’s been a very solid reliever all year, given the game circumstances, and with Jansen still gassed, he was a pretty logical choice to pitch the 8th.

It seemed like that potential Pac fight was a lifeline, and he turned down $4mm, instead asking for $10mm. And probably not a fight he was going to win, but he also has enough natural talent to where he wouldn’t embarrass himself. He also had some posts recently where he was complaining about money woes (attorneys,…

Kneel-downs are for cowards.

Norris has actually been fairly solid as of late (not tonight!), on the strength of a newly-found cutter that he’s used to deal with lefties, something he’s often had trouble with. I think LA getting him was actually fairly savvy.

Dunno what that was, though

Kidd loves MCW, but it’s hard to see Delly being just a “pure” backup.

It’s an ideal spot for him, because like with CLE, the SF is really going to be running/initiating the offense, and he’ll be able to spot up for 3's instead of trying to create something on his own, or running the PNR.

I always find it amusing when a white sportswriter who loves Ali (as Simmons does) bashes another athlete for showboating/trash-talking.

There’s no way you can ballhawk and not be a wang.

Especially those dudes in the canoes outside of AT&T.

Sure. But what if Epstein hadn’t made good moves within the structure of the Cubs’ rebuild, and they never got better? If they’re a mediocre team as of last year, should they have gone out and spent on Zobrist/Lackey, etc? Or wait until they have a stronger foundation?

Hinkie never got much of a foundation in place.…

Great stuff.

To be fair, he hardly talked about it. Which was one of his problems. As was not being able to get the ping-pong balls to bounce his way. As was not acing any of his early draft picks, for the drafts he had.
