The level of competition Serena faces is far higher level than Rousey does. That’s no insult to Rousey. It’s just that women’s tennis is much older and much more advanced than women’s MMA right now.

will be until she decides she doesn’t want it anymore.

You complain about classism, but your portrayal of Chik-fil-A customers is filled with classism.

I mean, like I said, I’m responding to a particular exaggerated claim. What’s sad is that a) a great, pioneering fighter gets sidelined like this without a second glance, and b) that I’m being accused of being an MMA hipster because I’m remembering a fighter whose last fight wasn’t even two years ago. Megumi Fujii…

In my opinion, from a subjective assessment of their grappling and other technical fighting skills, I think it’s a big insult to say that Rousey is “vastly more skilled” than Fujii. That’s the specific claim I’m responding to here. And if you think that Zuffa hasn’t been very carefully selecting opponents for Rousey…

If the claim is just that Rousey is better, relative to her competition, than Fujii, I’d likely agree. Rousey’s that physically dominant. But in terms of skills, Fujii was an absolute technician. Like you said: just my opinion.

she’s vastly more skilled than any woman who has ever thrown hands

I thought this piece was extraordinarily judicious, incisive, sensitive, compassionate to both rape victims and those falsely accused alike, free of hype, filled with just the right amount of historical detail, and uncommonly well written.

So I take it that when I finally get a new mobo and CPU this fall, I’ll have to spring for a new copy of Windows 10, eh?

She’s a self-described conservative Republican who has donated major money for years. That’s been an open part of her life for years, and she even said so in her initial interview.

Does it go into her political conservatism/Republican party activism at all? Would be interesting to see how they cover that.

Cutmen do the exact opposite of keeping fighters safe. They keep fighters fighting despite injury. Cutmen serve the match, not the fighter.

There’s a clear point where a reviewer of anything — game, book, movie, album, whatever — stops being about the thing and starts being about the reviewer. Sutherland’s opinions on this podcast are an absolute masterclass in that kind of non-review review.

At a little theme park near my hometown, an employee was using a weed whacker and wearing those ear protectors, so he didn’t hear the oncoming roller coaster car that decapitated him. Which was full of park guests.

I never want this story to end

No lie: they don’t allow to smile when you take your driver’s license picture here. I had the slightest smile on my face and the lady was like “NO SMILING.”

not Deadspin, mind you, but “Deadspin,” your ironic spin-off site.

DA:I is the perfect example. So many pointless grinds that exist for the sake of grinding. Totally overloaded game.

What, no intro? But I love the jingle!

I quite enjoy Pokemon Shuffle, despite never spending a dime on it. Good time waster when I don’t have enough time to do a Mario Kart Grand PrixPrix.
