Okay, Kuculcan. Hey, two of my very best boyhood friends had Mexican mothers. They both ended up marrying white women, and had kids. Hell, you might be one of them for all I know. Hockaday is an English surname in my family tree about four generations back. One source says it is an...

They said what they said and I said what I said about it. By the way, Kukulcan, why do you use the title of a Mayan diety for a screen name on this website?

Amen, Maple Leaf. They are here to stay and I am enjoying it very much. Russia might be my second favorite foreign country right now (after Canada).

I mostly agree. A higher IQ would help a player more quickly memorize and understand the playbook, but when the chips are down the "intangibles" take over. I believe Brady has more of those than Manning. Edited by: Hockaday

Chambers "fought" the second half of the fights as if he'd made the decision around the fifth round to move down to cruiserweight so he went into survival mode. The commentary was rank at times. Max and Co. kept yakking about how Chambers was "outclassing" Povetkin in the middle of the ring...

Mollo is a useful fighter, interesting to watch. He's a bit of a punching bag, but he punches back also. He might pull off a couple surprising wins before he's done.

What passes for rock today is so weak. A hundred years from now, when they're studying rock the way they study literature now, this last few years won't even be in the syllabus. There's just no talent out there, or any real Zeitgiest to inspire anyone. It's a clue that we are in serious decline.

A meaningless and likely very boring fight. Maybe PBF thinks this is where the money is, or this exhibition is a way to avoid Cotto. Any white fan who prefers this glorified sparring session over Pavlik-Taylor Povtkin-Chambers etc. is a nuthuggin', jocksniffin', wigger idiot.Edited by: Hockaday

How about Whoopie Goldberg?

I had Taylor ahead by one point because I have him the very close sixth based on giving the champ close rounds. I don't know when or where that tradition started, but I observe it. I think Kelly coasted a bit in those rounds, and he knows it. Kelly's still on the way up, and Taylor is on his...

I'm pulling for Vlad, though I like both fighters. I'm sure Vlad will be on his toes, as he surely remembers what happened the last time he fought a fast lefty with a good punch.

Only on the internet. If this was a bar (at least the ones I used to go to) a loud mouth like Mad (Bad?) Dog would have been face down on the sidewalk long ago. Yip yip yip.

Berman needs to find some new material. He was part of a show on the undefeated Miami team of the 70's, and guess how he described Larry Csonka's running style. At least Larry rumbled, bumbled, and stumbled his way in to the Hall of Fame.

Mayweather beat De La Hoya, who is basically a hobby fighter now, and a guy he was supposed to beat, Hatton. Pavlik destroyed a destroyer in Miranda, then came back from the brink and and KO'd an undefeated champion. In both fights Kelly was a significant underdog. In the post fight...

During the tail end of the Jacksonville-Oakland rout, David Garrard's back-up threw a TD pass while Garrard watched and smiled from the sideline. The play by play guy just loved it. "David Garrard, he gets that smile whether he's throwin' touchdowns or watchin' them."

I watched the replay. Cortez was jumping in way too much, wouldn't let Ricky work on the inside, which was Ricky's only chance. When Ricky got in close, Cortez wouldn't give Ricky time to work into position for his left hook to the body. Take that away and Ricky's just another tough guy with...

A racialist interpretion of Blade Runner never occurred to me, but it makes a lot of sense now that you mention it. I don't know if it is the best movie of all time, but I think it is at least the best science fiction movie of all time. Ridley Scott really brought out the best in the actors...

"Bush and the Jews were behind 9-11." I don't know how to respond to that. Well, to put it bluntly....

Russians have a reputation for being rather dour and unfriendly. At about the halfway point in a book on Russian history in the 20th century, I can see why. Dynastic decay, revolution, civil war, brutal communistic rule, purges killing millions, famines killing millions more, an invasion killing...

Pavlik-Taylor gets a quarter page, probably written by an intern, and Hatton-Mayweather gets a feature story by one of SI's best hacks. The mountain of evidence grows a little more.

Brilliant, Nevada. Did you fall off your burro and hit your head again? Edited by: Hockaday

Man, I've been feeling crappy all week, and now this. I didn't like this fight from the git-go. Ricky's not a welterweight. He joins a long list of very good fighters who moved up and got knocked out; Jose Napoles. Bob Foster. Alexis Arguello. Micheal Spinks. Mickey Walker. Carlos Zarate. All...

Ricky looked real cut at the weigh-in. He's ready to put on a good show. With his style, butts and cuts may well play into the fight at some point, and Ricky's at the disadvantage on that score. All I can say is, 'it 'im in the slats, Ricky!

It's all kind of sad and ironic, really, that this Gatsby is a likely a white guy going after his own. I would ask him, and others like him, do they have counterparts in other races? Blacks, or Mexicans, that go on black and mexican forums, often under false pretenses, to correct, often...
