No need to be an expert. You’re absolutely right. She recognized that her stand-up was the hole in her game, so she fixed it. Adding quality striking (including vicious knee techniques) to her already pristine Judo skills makes her even more dangerous than she already was. The woman is a legit Fighting Machine —- I…

Agreed. Michael Jordan was the same way —- every slight, real or perceived, is fuel for the competitive fire. I’m not sure that RR needed more in the way of motivation, but Holm provided it for her. I have a difficult time making a case for this being anything other than a Bad Move.

Rousey admits that she is prone to crying, especially when she’s angry. Full disclosure: when I was younger, I was the same way.

I know that most observers are expecting a Rousey win via arm bar, but I’m calling RR by TKO. With all the talk about the boxing ability of Holm, I get the feeling that Ronda is going to look to finish it with her hands, just to make a point. And because she can.

Only way this makes sense to me is if the Braves have some SS savant lurking in the minors, somewhere.

I’m picturing you in a cape and a luchador mask.

I was kidding.

Once after every meal. Were you people raised by wild animals, or what?

Yeah, but those guys are the most visible. This is not accidental.

Black people in the media are the employees of the non-black people who own the media. In some cases, the fact that they were hired at all is a reflection of their willingness to spout whatever nonsense their employers tell them to spout. Negative representations of black people have more resonance when they are…

I submit that the way black people are portrayed in the media has less to do with the behavior of black people than it does with the motives of the people who decide what images, stories and narratives actually see the light of day. The media in this country has shown black people in a negative manner from the very…

Nice. I lost our Super Bowl last year off of a last second TD, caught by a WR I had to waive earlier in the season due to bye-week roster issues. This year, took a few more gambles than I should have on draft day, only one of which really paid off (Gurley in Rd. 5 —- worth the wait).

I picked up Langford, too. Unfortunately, I was getting waxed by 60 points going in to MNF, so it didn’t matter all that much. The guy I was playing against logged the 2nd highest score in our league this season. It’s been like that all year. Thinking of changing my team name to The Snakebit Plisskens.

I hope you had Walsh this week. I was attempting to cut Gould from my roster last night after he missed the first field goal.

BRAD AUSMUS????

I’ve heard that Angel Dust is making a comeback.

I think we know the whereabouts of Teddy Ballgame’s head.

Lewand is an old Ford family friend —- his dad was WCF’s legal counsel. He took over as President after Millen left. Mayhew, however, was a Millen hire who got promoted to GM.

It won’t really get better until the team is owned by somebody who is not a Ford.
