Meanwhile over at the Ringer, they’re actively trying to talk themselves into the Nets being a 35 win team so the Celtics don’t look bad for trading this year’s pick. That’s just run of the mill Simmonsology though.

It’s just a matter of whether they have it in May or July. I’ve been of the firm belief all along that the third Diaz fight won’t be at LW or for a belt. People are just hemming and hawing over a made up narrative that Conor ducks opponents.

Conor fought Nate the first two times at WW. He’s going to fight him at 219 at WW. Then he’s going to fight Ferguson at LW for the title, probably in the summer. There doesn’t need to be a belt on the line for the McGregor-Diaz fight because there never was one on the line to begin with.

Yeah...Defamer/Gawker/Jezebel kept implying CK was doing that shit and then it turned out it was Doug Stanhope who the women were talking about. Doug even copped to it publicly.

On one hand, Jack Slack makes good points about that. On the other hand, he doesn’t really follow the division close enough. He, for example, wasn’t familiar with Brandon Moreno before the Pettis fight in Mexico earlier this year. I’m not entirely certain he saw the Borg-Formiga fight that got Borg his title shot…

The rule is you get an extra hour to cut down if you’re within 2 lbs. Hendricks was 3 lbs over, therefore he didn’t qualify for an extra hour.

I once got pulled over for going 25 in a school zone with bad signage that was for a fenced off toddler daycare 100 yards from the road. It was one of those bullshit speed traps where the cop hangs out another 100 yards down the road picking off poor schmucks who don’t notice the school zone sign right after they turn…

He’s a veteran. I think it’s completely appropriate for him to deviate from the protest if he so chooses.

Pico dropped from LW to FW and fought a dude who normally fights at bantamweight who also doesn’t have a gym or a coach. So while it was a cool knockout, the whole set up was pretty bullshitty on Bellator’s part.

I never truly knew what Killer Mike & El-P meant by “fuckboys” until I read this article, Nick. I will now listen to Run the Jewels II, track 2 and contemplate these insights in my heart.

So Hill’s twitter comment is not interpreted as an opinion? Haha...okay...

Let’s play the “pick which is the likeliest Sage Steele comment” game.

I want Zach Randolph’s fixer in my corner if I ever get in a tight jam.

This isn’t a particularly good example of tv criticism in that it addresses the show as something it’s not instead of what it actually has been its entire run.

Just because an employer makes you sign a contract, doesn’t mean that contract can’t be voided by the courts.

I predict Zeke will have 400 carries this season.

Why are we pretending helping a professional ball club reschedule games and helping people whose lives are affected by flooding are at all the same thing?

Nobody really talks about this, but essentially Oscar De La Hoya took him under his wing and turned him into a star. That’s it. End of story.

The only thing that surprised me was Floyd giving enough of a damn to finish Conor off.

The medical crew not being there isn’t really the point.
