A few years ago, someone applied to manage Middlesbrough FC on the strength of his Football Manager stats and his experience coaching a local u-11 team... and received a personal reply from the club’s chairman:

This is shit. Just a complete shit take. Happy the US didn’t win it, because you hate the administration in office. Complete dog shit.

In wrestling the weigh-ins are held about 2 hours before the match, which I think strikes a good balance of people being able to get some food and electrolytes back into their system while still allowing ~5 pounds worth of effective muscle to be a factor. I once cut 9 pounds overnight and it had a serious effect on my…

agree with teddy atlas. somebody who fights at 155 is prob training closer to the 180-190 range in tip-top shape. I walk/train at 157 and compete at 135 because I can’t seem to cut any more. I am almost always at a size disadvantage in the cage as guys my natural size drop to flyweight and much bigger dudes than me…

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.

Actually, he wasn’t given an extra hour. It was less than 5 minutes. Definitely not enough time to lose the extra pound, and the NYSAC changed the weigh-in rules after that incident. The NYSAC also has a unique weigh in rule where if a fighter isn’t within 5 lbs of the other, the fight is automatically called off.…

In wrestling, not pro but collegiate, you have to be on weight (with a 1/4 pound grace in the AM) and a pound grace before the match (because you will have eaten breakfast and lunch by that point. Also had something to drink, presumably). I’ve been wrapped in trashbags and wearing sweats in a shower where nothing but…

Collegiate wrestling now requires competitors to have a certain hydration level in addition to the weight limits.

Point of calling Lee a dickhead? Do you know him personally? Is it for effect to generate views or compensure for shitting writing. What a clown. No way you say that to his face without cameras around or calling the cops.

Yeah, it’s not the weight classes so much as it is fighters trying to game the weight classes.

Hey Patrick, you clearly don’t know how the UFC weigh-ins work. Every fighter is given an extra hour to weigh in if they miss weight. It’s been part of the rule-set since they’ve established early weigh-ins. You wrote an entire article off the fact that you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Delete the…

OK. I now associate you with disseminating the Erin Andrews peephole video or suggesting in a deposition that the cutoff age for posting a sex tape is 4 years old. Hope that’s cool and a reasonable understanding of the material here at Dead Spin dot com.

Stop making shit up. He isn’t hateful towards anyone. He is poor with speeches but if you actually looked up what he was accomplishing he’s doing quite a bit of good for our country. I am going to make some assumptions and I’m sorry if I’m wrong. But I’d say stop listening to celebrities for news, (this includes…

They might actually draw more in Montana than at their soccer stadium.

The same implication that all Republicans are racists, which is especially laughable since Democrats are just as racist, they just like to play it to their advantage in a different way than Republicans.

I mean, I am basically predisposed to root against Lonzo, but your draft analysis is completely, completely wrong. Basically all draft analysts agreed that Lonzo was one of the two or three best players in the draft, and it was a strong draft. He’s a high-floor player with genuine strengths at the NBA’s most important…

I guess that means everybody there is from Anne Arundel County then, because Baltimore County and every county between Baltimore and DC went Democrat.

You should stop violating FERPA.

Anonymously insulting a former student. That’s not so charitable.
