It's in reference to Lemaitre. As he seems to be ascending while Lemaitre is at best in neutral if not in slight decline.

I was looking at the stats of "Pete" and on the surface they seem very borderline hall of fame material less his WHIP and other modern stats like ERA + which were truly outstanding. He seemed to burn out some what young and he didn't age gracefully instead fell off the map when he left...

I guess HBO opened their purse strings for this fight by having a 7 figure guarantee for the Lemieux camp. I still don't get this one as he is a long shot to win this fight and there are a host of paper challengers for him to tong on and ko spectacularly. Anyway I guess the only way GGG can get...

Yes he sounds like the two blow hards but at least he has backed up the bluster so far. The problem for him is Wlad is an all time great who maybe has shown faint skills erosion. I just don't see an opponent that can prepare you for Wlad on his resume. The gulf between Wlad and Povetkin is/was...

Price probably should call it a career as he was never really in this fight. He let the podgy Turk bully him around and had no real game plan on keeping him on the outside. Banging in the trenches with a guy who is close to half a foot smaller than you is suicide when you have a brittle chin...

Catholic schools traditionally only recruited Catholics. Back when football was dominated by the rust belt states Notre Dame had a monopoly on the best ethnic White players because most were Catholics. Most Black Americans are protestants, so they never went to Notre Dame or to a lesser extent...

ESPN tried to make the Jenner courage award something similar to the birth of Superman. Ie retreating to the Fortress of Solitude and then emerging out of his/it's cave to save transvestites..... I felt sorry for the old gunslinger(Brett Farve) who had the camera pan on him and he was forced to...

Yes there has been talk of proverbial wolves in sheep clothing voting for Trump in these primaries so that he can be a more divisive figure within the party. So far I have counted three potential foot in mouth mistakes that should cause the party hacks/insiders to gang up against him and the...

He is a future hall of fame member(a quality one unlike Bowe and some others). I always found his style puzzling as on paper in his big fights aside from his Glen Johnson win and Taylor he always seemed to be the under dog because of his somewhat unorthodox boxer puncher style, which resembled...

Trump won't survive the early primaries(IMO), if he does look for the Republicans to unite behind a safe candidate to defeat Trump. In 88' the Democrats did this against Jackson who caused a similar shakeup because of his contrary ideas to the establishment of his party. In politics safe is...

Another rumour that his camp has told the press he might fight blow hard Briggs in Venezuela. How this rumour started, I would like to know. Supposedly he needs a top 5 opponent to become a mandatory for the Chagaev belt and Briggs is the easiest opponent to line up. I will believe it when I see...

Yes back when the sport was an amateur sport most of the competitors that I remember were people like Narracott who had other things going on in their lives besides running. Since there was no money in the sport, you had to have a back up plan after your running career and the athletes were well...

Don't question the build of Serena or you may be racist, sexist or a mix of the two......http://www.bet.com/news/fashion-and-beauty/2015/07/12/serena-williams-body-image-debate.html

Yes it looks like the "regular" WBA champions are shown but the "super" champions who are the real champions are not shown so GGG is not a champion???, Wlad isn't a champion but Chagaev is one. Well I was always ready to drop the WBA anyway with their super, regular and if the champion has a...

The depth in MMA is virtually non existent. So you tend to see recycled fighters being fed to up and coming fighters much more often than in boxing. Seeing Shannon Briggs parading around and begging for a major bout, wouldn't happen in the UFC because he would get a shot and lose badly. Ps If...

Yes the trajectory of his career was similar to Bledsoe or McDrunk but he was a higher level than either quarterback at his peak. His partying was legendary and wasn't uncommon for quarterbacks in that era, obviously Namath was as much of playboy as Stabler but there were other quarterbacks...

I seem to recall Hession saying he trained in Jamaica with either Bolt and friends or Asafa and friends and he said he was too pooped out to keep up after a few weeks. Now there is no way that people of predominate West African ancestry have better stamina than Europeans(on average). This...

Yes he looked like a middle aged accountant that ate properly but just walked to his vehicle and walked through the front door every day. If you notice they only had him wearing loose clothing and not a hint of skin to be seen. I myself never went out of way to eat there. I find the prices...

More potentially damaging news to Bolt's reputation. It looks like Bolt has been seeing Dr. Frankenstein since he was 16. Maybe the treatment is above board. But from what we have seen at these therapy clinics in the past usually new age therapy is old age PED...

This should be a warning sign to Black O and D line prospects but I figure this will be like the warnings on cigarette packs, even though another under 40 former sumo died today. In fact from some of the file photos he looked more fit than the usual sumo lineman that this thread is about. Anyway...

I recall near the end of high school a dogmatic PC teacher getting into a shouting match with a student who said that AMA viewed homosexuality as a mental disorder and he stated that they voted against classifying it in 73'. I seem to recall the shouting match starting after watching a...

Somebody looked it up on a lame stream track board and the last White female to win the 200 meter dash was in 53'. Interestingly enough she made the 52' squad that went to Helsinki and later became a part time actress who had a minor part in Sex and the City.

It seems like the rainbow loving media have moved on from the Chinese toys and it's on to ethnic first from Indians. The Mavericks just drafted an Indian in the second round. Unlike the James Bond henchman from last season he is reasonably fit and mobile but his skills are raw and crude. Here's...

Well it should be his son. The motley crew that is trying to unseat Billary II just got another candidate in the mix and he probably can serve a mean slushi.....http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/24/politics/bobby-jindal-2016-election-announcement/index.html

His fishnet stockings must be too tight as the blood flowing to his brain is minimal at best. He was last seen looking like a human pinata against Maneee back 6 or so years ago. What would a guy who is a natural middleweight do to him who is in his prime and is a HUGE puncher do to him. I hope...
