If only the Bucks had some sort of....guide...for the...media?

Well, three weeks after this disgrace, Canelo Alvarez fights Gennady Golovkin, in an actual good boxing match, so I’d say....boxing is almost dead but not quite dead.

The biggest. Yes.

The 3 most important words in this piece: “completely privately funded”.

Or the best football record

And Muslims, and Atheists, and Buddhists, and Taoists, and Shintoists, and ...

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Let’s see a line item of their expenses. How many hundreds of friends and family of the staff and how many boosters went for free? How many expenses get tacked on that would normally be paid for by the school?

There was a softball team, sponsored by a local strip club, that has fun jerseys like #9 - “Sixty”, #0 - New Friends, #11 - “Seven”. I want dumb shit like that if your idea doesn’t happen.

A gold star to any team that does Who, What, I don’t know, Why, Because, Tomorrow, Today, and I Don’t Care.

Here is a great web site by the oatmeal that explains the rebound effect:

I vote for this...or each player’s name is chosen by nomination and vote of his teammates. (No player can nominate or vote on his own nickname.)

Should I have provided this person’s name and his linkedin profile? Not sure what color the sky is in your world, but these kind of conversations happen all the time, unfortunately. When I first joined the workforce in the mid-80's, get a couple dudes together in the break room and it was an every day occurrence.

I’ve been a part of or heard conversations just like this more than once. So don’t doubt that this is real. The last one I remember was when some old dude at work was bitching in Feb that there wasn’t a “white history month” and being 100 percent serious.

At least all the Chinese restaurants give the Jews someplace to go on Christmas.

Such fragile worldviews come down hard.

For anyone interested, NPR has a more detailed version of this story, called “Lo Mein Loophole,” from 2016. Heather Lee’s research into Chinese restaurants is really cool and it’s too bad that this video gives it such poor treatment.

I’ll pay. I’ll watch. I’ll be embarrassed the next morning that I did either.

Anyone who actually pays for this fight deserves to be shot out of a cannon into the Sun. This is MacGregor agreeing to get his ass kicked for many millions of dollars. That’s it. Other than everyone counting on selling a bajillion pay-per-views and getting fuckin PAID, there is zero reason this fight should happen.
