I’m with you on this. I think people in therapy lose track of the fact that, in a very real sense, your therapist is essentially a contractor for your mental health.

I find it fascinating that free speech absolutists sound exactly like fundamentalist Christians when they talk about their “natural rights.”

Maybe you would be more persuasive if you had a source besides your own opinion and urban dictionary?

I was in almost the exact situation you are and complained bitterly about flood insurance. And then I got flooded.

Flood insurance is very, very picky about what it covers. Vehicle damage is almost certainly not going to be included in a standard flood insurance policy.

Arsenal FanTV is maybe the best thing on Earth. There are very few places you can see that sort of pure existential despair.

Kurt Rambis because... I guess he kind of looked like he would enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons with me and my nerd friends?

The one benefit of Deadspin is that you can safely assume literally everyone in the comments is a deranged sociopathic Libertarian who will invariably double down on a shitty argument (especially if it proven wrong by objective facts).

Yes he is. That’s my mistake. Good catch.

I’m sure he took enough shots from his father to know that getting pummeled in the face or elsewhere is deleterious to one’s well-being, though he may not choose those words to describe his mentality.

Also, people spent a big chunk of the 80s buying PPVs to watch Mike Tyson sleep guys in like 45 seconds. And they were happy to do so.

To be fair, being as poorly conditioned as Connor McGregor would be a vast step up for pretty much everyone reading Deadspin.

We have to troll ESPN because Ironic Hipster Reasons.

Traditional boxing wisdom says that Mexicans are particularly gritty and determined fighters who will never give up until they are knocked out. The trope is that Mexican fighters are tough and rugged but favor straight-ahead brawling over sophisticated technical fighting.

Mayweather wouldn’t walk from the dressing room to the octagon for a UFC purse.

Since when does Mayweather care about giving an audience an entertaining fight? Seriously, go find any of the last ten or so fights of his career before tonight and show me one moment where he’s doing a damned thing to make sure the audience is entertained.

I don’t think you realize who you are talking about. Mayweather isn’t that kind of fighter, and never was. This was exactly the kind of victory anyone who knows anything about boxing was predicting.

Damn.

I really do agree with your take DJ; I don’t think that any amount of promotion will ever make a small, methodical fighter have the appeal of a pre-meltdown Rousey or a pre-cash-grab McGregor.

Count on any article that mentions wrestling history to bring out the “well actually” crowd.
