I’ll thank you to leave Christopher Cross out of it, unless you’re making a “canvas can do miracles” reference, which is, frankly, what you should be doing.

maybe the fact that I can’t name a single other current boxer?

Mostly this is a fine comment, but I have to correct you on the “guy who had a strong punch” bit: McGregor looked to be the lightest-hitting boxer I’ve seen in a long time. Like, Malingaggi-soft. Feather fisted. By the fourth round Mayweather was walking straight through his punches and barely even bothering to move…

How dare deadspin publish a post by Mr. Petchesky, with his slavic sounding name, on this, the 5th anniversary of the Ljubljana Marshes hot air balloon crash in Slovenia. I am aghast at the insensitivity.

I mean look at this fucking thing. This is what a minor league basketball arena SHOULD be.

which will include a 3,000-seat arena as well as condos, shops, and a sports complex

Brings back memories of when I was but a young lad, striving for greatness in Little League. I....wasn’t much of a hitter, and when it came down to our last game, with the post-season tournament on the line, I ended up at the plate with the tying run on third. Down to our last out, and me...ME!...one of the worst…

Back in my day, players didn’t need coddling. Hell, that little league pitcher Danny Almonte wouldn’t even drive his children on the team for ice cream after losses.

This inexorable frittering of getting to third, getting sent back to second and juggling the two infinitely is triggering some serious ptsd from my high school dating life.

I would think an undeleted catalogue of posts mocking Conor McGregor and predicting his humiliation would serve an adequate admission of wrongness.

Goddamn I hope an earthquake swallows that arena on 8/26.

Cutler hasn’t cared about football in years and was a vocal supporter of a misogynistic, racist, abrasive Presidential campaign yet there was not outcry against signing him. Kap kneeled during the national anthem to protest videos of people actually being killed by police.

The 48-second clip in the above article mentions that the game started 7 hours after it was supposed to. The words in the above article also mention the same thing.

He was being sarcastic for humorous effect. It’s slightly terrifying that you can’t tell the difference.

Not sure which of those third-rate metropolises you hail from, but if you can’t find a dictionary where you live in which to look up “tantrum,” I’d be happy to send you one from big, bad New York.

Oh, a wise guy, eh?
