Do you not know how rare and valuable an “average” QB is? Most teams would slaughter a small village for an average QB.

If you anything about the mindframe of most of these athletes, you’d understand that it’s PRECISELY because they place their lives on the line that most of them respect each other. The UFC has had its share of “grudge” matches where the two opponents might dislike each other, but I can’t remember the last time I…

Yeah. This article and the people who agree with it are being quite disingenuous. The backlash has only been equal to the hype that preceded it. Forget wanting her to play superheroes, you literally had Joe Rogan crying and saying things like, “She’s a superhero. We will never see another human being like her in our…

People disrespect their opponents all the time and win, but there’s a differece between showing disrespect externally but still respecting them in your own mind. The UFC has seen many a “grudge” match, but, let’s say in the case of Cormier/Jones, both guys disrespected the hell out of each other, but both fighters…

Well, I think the thing that sticks out to me is how easy it is to get caught up with the hype. It’s obvious now, but it was also obvious prior to the fight. However, if you’re the kind who says, “Now, wait a minute, she still hasn’t fought a technical kickboxer and her defensive boxing has not been tested.” The mob…

It’s funny that in retrospect this is all so obvious, but it’s true. Rousey was always a sloppy fighter who got away with it because of pure aggression, athleticism and good opportunistic grappling. But she was so successful with it that it was easy to ignore the fact that all it was going to take was someone with…

Not to toot my own horn (ok, it’s all about tooting my own horn), but my analysis was far more concise and accurate (though admittedly not nearly as well written) and you assholes didn’t even have to pay me

While I’m pretty sure Rousey is going to win again, Holm is about as live of an underdog as you’re going to get in a Rousey matchup. Holm has a legitimate key to victory and that’s using her length to keep the distance between her and Rousey and to point-fight from a distance. As Greg said, philosophically knowing…

I agree with just about everything you wrote. (Barry Pepper deserved so much better) but Malcolm X is still a better movie. It’s probably the best Biopic ever (potentially not saying much, but it is a legitimately great movie).

Bingo.

The through-line is that we live in a superficial society that prefers detached, self-satisfied bemusement to sincerity and many of our horror movies reflect that tendency.

I don’t know, that stuff in the videos above actually looks pretty sweet, too, though.

Relay put up the best numbers of his career during the last three seasons but he was old and feeble?

I never said U-God was better. People read what they want and then blame me for it.

At least 17 people, not including myself do, but, ok.

I agree wholhearted. But if I can nitpick (and this is the internet, so I can nitpick), Penn and Edgar only had one “highly competetive” fight. Edgar made Penn look pretty bad in the second fight.

Masta Killa’s not a bad writer. His flow is just awful. U-God’s had his moments (like everybody’s, his Triumph verse is pretty ridiculous).

Every member of Wu has successfully concocted a coherent mythology through their lyrics and they continue to innovate and grow (see Czarface, for example). The Nas from Illmatic and It was Written is arguably the greatest MC of all time. But if we’re being honest, he’s been so hit and miss since then. Extreme highs…

There’s going to be a lot of hurt feelings, but honestly this article could’ve been twice as long. Jay-Z at his best was a slightly above average rapper. I’m a huge Nas fan, but even Nas is pretty mediocre in comparison to pretty much every member of the Wu or Pharaoh Monch or Scarface, or Rakim or a bunch of other…

It was an ok movie that just ended in the middle of the movie, just as it was starting to get good. Like it literally just ended right in the middle. With no explanation or closure. It’s still one of the most weirdly structured movies I’ve ever seen.
