It’s weird how many writers choose to cover MMA while giving off the impression they don’t really follow it. For example:

No sweat.

Pfft, you’re grossly underestimating online porn activity.

You’re the guy who was typing through tears about Deadspin running the ostrich post on Peyton Manning Retires Day, right? Yeah, this might be a lost cause, but...

Some MLB prospect who has a pseudo-disorder where he can’t stop laughing once he really starts going.

C’mon, man, don’t be that guy (or girl, I guess).

What kind of spineless, testicle-gargling lackey laughs at that line?

“You said it yourself in your response, this discussion isn’t about the people who follow the sport closely.”

Amen. I’m not saying you have to kick him out the door, but a lot of Broncos fans are acting like (a) he’s been a lifelong Bronco so all those Indy numbers count toward his Bronco greatness; and/or (b) he led the team to a SB when he failed to do so spectacularly until his defense almost literally carried him to the…

I’d imagine the greatest QB season of all time included a Super Bowl win. Or at least not pissing said win away in the 1st quarter.

The sincerity of your indignation, though. Or is it your complete lack of self-awareness?

It’s ironic that a website that so mercilessly and justifiably strafes Rick Reilly for publishing cliched bullshit belches out this stink.

1. You’re cherry-picking words out of context to contort their meaning. Full quote:

Denver celebrating Peyton Manning like the second coming/going of John Elway because the media says so is one of the more precious things I’ve seen in a while.

“An impact”? Sure, but not enough to lament this as a bad night for the UFC or, really, for Conor McGregor.

I think Conor McGregor would wreck Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson (about whom I’m still skeptical). I’d probably take him over Anthony Pettis and Eddie Alvarez. A Nate Diaz rematch at lightweight would be interesting, think I’d lean toward Diaz, but not a hard lean.

It’s dumb to bust a guy’s chops for not giving a flying fuck about half the game b/c he’s excellent at the other half?

And Hillary Clinton the likely Democratic nominee.

I’d also add that I think this loss will make more Conor McGregor fans than a lot of his wins:

Look at Diaz at the weigh-ins. That is not the physique of a guy who cut to make weight. If he stepped in the cage heavier than the 169 he weighed in at, it wasn’t by much.
