Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul are both horrendous human beings
I can’t believe I have to write this column, so let’s be clear right out of the gate: If you purchase the Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul “fight,” thereby enriching both of these terrible humans and encouraging Paul to keep pretending he’s a boxer, you are contributing to the further Idiocracy-ization o...

Let’s just get down to brass tacks, how much for the ape? Whoops, no not that. Sorry. Got confused. The brass tacks we need to get down to is that the seven-inning doubleheader is dumb.
