Anyone else interested in seeing how ESPN is going to handle this unique NY vs Boston angle for the next two weeks?
And if he had missed, Harbaugh would have been killed for icing his own kicker. There's no right answer there. You just need an NFL kicker to make what should be an automatic kick.
Anyone else see the disturbing trend of NFL players taking dives at the least little shove in an attempt to draw a penalty? If such bitch-ass-ness becomes as accepted as it is in soccer, then the terrorists have truly won.
Which makes you wonder if it is such a placidly accepted part of boxing, then what's to stop it from being done in other sports.

After all, it's all just entertainment.
I agree the Floyd is the best. Which makes it all the more maddening that he refused to show it by fighting Paquiao.
I have to question my own sanity for so closely following a sport that is so blatantly corrupt.
Could this be the display that finally gets Floyd to take a fight with Paquiao?
Right now I'm just wondering how they are going to rob Marquez. He's winning the fight clearly, but Manny losing fucks up a lot of plans and costs lots of people a shitload of money. I just don't see Marquez getting a decision.
So ESPN abandons the biggest sports story in years, complete with rioting to cover an NBA press conference where absolutely nothing is happening?

And I thought those working the 3rd shift at the Waffle House were clueless.
He also was resentful to a country that completely swallowed Ali's line about him being the "White Man's Champion". Especially when it could argued that Joe Frazier knew far more about growing up poor and black in 20th century America than Ali ever would.
The one good thing about being a Braves fan is that we have never blamed a random person in the stands when our team chokes.
In contrast, this footwear's slogan is "Always Make Them Humble"
Good to see that WCW senior referee Nick Patrick has found work officiating international soccer matches.
If that wasn't a red card, then nothing is. This is what kills me about international soccer, criminally incompetent officiating is just shrugged off as part of the game. Fuck that.
I was a JFK conspiracy theorist as well but have found myself starting to tilt towards the "lone nut" side as I have gotten older. JFK was a well made film but they pretty much amalgamated nearly every conspiracy theory into one giant cinematic gulash.

I, as well, watch it every time it's on TV.
Then it makes you wonder what Floyd is waiting for. He can have the Pacquiao fight, which would be the biggest fight of this generation and make a shitload of money. Why take the chance of someone else getting lucky against Manny, or one of them getting injured?
Ortiz is a big puncher, but there is a reason why of all the fighters out there Mayweather is choosing Ortiz to fight after a 16 month layoff. That's because his defense is nearly non-existant and he's very easy to hit.
I know that HBO has a vested interest in pumping up Mayweather-Ortiz, but come on. They seem to totally neglect the fact that Ortiz is at best defensively challenged.
