Very good fight and an extraordinary effort put forth by Golovkin and Canelo. I thought that GGG beat Canelo again. My live score was 7-5 rounds for GGG or a 6-6 draw. I re-watched the fight and scored it again 7-5 for GGG. This was a very close fight, so a slim decision for Canelo shouldn’t feel like a robbery, but…

WOMP WOMP

I’m sure that his public Facebook post has absolutely nothing at all to do with the press coverage and public comments about his actions.

Now you’ve moved the target, switching from claiming that Mr. Moneta is a victim who was just doing his job to claiming that Mr. Moneta is a cog in a wheel that got two service workers fired.

Mr. Moneta is not a victim of anything. Has he lost his job? Has he been docked a portion of his paycheck? Has he been arrested?…

You’re missing the point. A barista who spends most of her work day on her feet serving other people put music on for herself and for the guests. It might have been a radio station or a mix. She wasn’t actively selecting which songs to broadcast. A customer objected to the lyrics of the song that was playing. The…

The only faces that are clearly seen in the campaign video are Nixon’s and her children’s. The New York City that Nixon depicts is oddly empty. Here’s Cynthia Nixon dropping off her kid at school with no other parents and children around. Here’s Cynthia Nixon waiting on nearly deserted subway platform; and now she’s…

So the two best choices that Democrats are offering up for Governor of New York State are celebrity with no political experience versus corrupt current governor? There’s nobody available that has at least some experience even on the most basic local level, and who has a platform that addresses criminal justice…

I enjoy reading your writing, and I thought that your observations in the original post were astute. Your perspective of boxing as business is a valuable one, and you’re usually right. I’d love to hear what you think about Golovkin vs. Canelo, the first fight, and the rematch that seems like it won’t be derailed by…

I think it would have been interesting if the writers had considered documentaries too. It’s a question that A.A. Dowd tackled in 2016: Why can’t the best documentary of the year be a Best Picture nominee? There’s no rule against it happening. Off the top of my head, Hoop Dreams should have been nominated in 1994…

During the 70s and 80s White Bostonians collectively resisted efforts to desegregate Boston public schools. They resorted to intimidation and violence, literally stabbing a Black man with an American flag pole. Decades later, in response to former New England Patriots tight end Christian Fauria’s apology for his…

I don’t think it’s a matter of having enough outrage. It sounds more like an unwillingness to give up the comfort that a privilege affords. During the antebellum era, most Southerners were too poor to own slaves, but they supported the rich southerners that did own slaves because of the comfort and privilege that…

Congrats on marathon #8! I live and run in NYC and it would be an honor to run a race with you. This is one of my favorite NYC races and my favorite NYC ultra: http://www.tgny100.com/

Hope we cross paths some day!

I think that even if Gamboa had lost this fight, he would have rationalized that he took the fight on only three weeks notice and did get in a full training camp with his new trainer. In some ways, it’s sadder to watch fighters slowly wither away over the course of several fights than to see them get comprehensively…

This is how they deal with foul balls going into the stands in Japan.

The safest place for Kanter is an American basketball court, where he usually disappears during the playoffs.

The film should have been subtitled, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (As Told From the Point of View of The White Woman Who Wrote the Book. Also, Please Nominate Oprah Winfrey For An Emmy).

Have you tried Altras? Their shoes have foot-shaped toe boxes that might accommodate your wide feet. https://www.altrarunning.com/run-better#FootShaped 

Congratulations! Running a marathon is really hard. In 2014, L.A. was my first marathon ever. After training all from Thanksgiving to marathon day during winter in NYC, it ended up being 84 degrees on the course.

Big deal- the Knicks defense has been standing around motionless all season.

I donated one of my kidneys to a friend in May 2012. The recipient has diabetes, was close to 60 years old, and has heart issues. (The transplant was delayed a few months because he needed to have a stent inserted.) In light of those those facts, and that the recipient had led a hard partying life when he was younger,…
