    Rickey Henderson Dies

    Henderson between the lines was what you wanted in a player as he was an iron man who never whined about injuries and never wanted to rest. He or Cobb are probably the best small ball players in the history of the game. They talk all of the time of about unbreakable records and his steal...

    Usyk vs Fury II

    Yes I don't see how you can score the fight for Fisher as his rounds were obvious but beyond a maybe a round after the 5th he clearly was cuffed around and dominated by Allen's veteran tactics. Fisher needs a ton of work if he is to get beyond the Allen level of pros. In the opening bout of...

    Usyk vs Fury II

    At the weigh in Fury weighed 281 and Usyk was 226 but Fury wore a bomber style jacket, shoes and jogging pants and so that would make him as low as the mid to low 270's and Usyk had a heavy looking medal chain and didn't disrobe too so he would be sub 226. I don't see the point of the...

    I figured that was a legitimate comment so I thought their mascot was some kind of gun or a homage to tough Black fighters ie Mandingo then I looked it up and their mascot is a Spartan. Then I thought maybe it was not PC to poke fun of Greeks but then the light bulb popped and.....

    MLB 2024 Season

    It seems the salaries are inflating due to newer richer owners flexing their financial wallet. Otherwise the salaries would be going up at roughly the inflation rate which is what they were going up after the Yankees became rational with their spending. Soto should be shot his last 5 years of...

    Usyk vs Fury II

    I decided to make a thread on it's own as this fight deserves it's own thread. The rematch is in 3 days and in North America it's barely mentioned on mainstream sports sites and if it is it's an after thought. Usyk rightfully is a slight betting favorite at about 7 to 6 odds so essentially...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Gastineau is recovering from cancer and probably has CTE as he played pro football for over a decade in the NFL and for short bit in the CFL and then had his celebrity boxing type career before the term existed. I recall him getting laid out by a journeyman boxer who later shot and killed his...

    Are all countries showing declining numbers in sports?

    I know the death spiral billiards is in is across the board in richer countries and that is due to cost for the billiard hall and the factors that NW talked about with social media and video games. I can't tell you how many billiard halls have been turned into fast food restaurants. Also as NW...

    He had a disappointing career when he turned pro he was viewed as a better prospect than Holmes who he easily beat to make the Olympic team. It seemed like he had a glass jaw when he fought the elite of the division, though you could say a throat punch from Norton caused him to crumble more...

    2024 Outdoor season

    Considering Australian has had a plethora of world level finalists since the record was set you would think somebody would have nipped the record even if they had to go to altitude meets in South Africa which has a similar outdoor season starting point as Australia. I think part of the...

    Miscellaneous Boxing News

    Paro vs Richardson is the crown jewel fight of the weekend. Paro is only a marginal favorite but IMO should be a solid favorite. Hitchinson got a gift house decision to defeat his gritty Argentine opponent and looked terrible at times in the fight. Off of that form it should be easy work for...

    2024 NFL Week 13

    The 49ers have an all hands on deck situation and he may get a real workload situation either to fight for a playoff spot or most likely to limp towards the end of the season and hope that 25' isn't truly the end of this contending team. PS Jordan Mason is on IR too so the 49ers have Guerendo...

    I missed the prospects and the domestic championship level fights live and so far have only seen the Indo-Brit prospect at flyweight opening the card. I did see the Sunny Edwards bout and he seemed to being seeing ghosts from the punches of the Afro-Arab Brit as he complained to his corner...

    Recent BUSTS

    I remember the measurements of Forbes were laughable as he was about a buck 65 and he was still given a first round grade. This pick should get the whole scouting staff fired. Forbes might be too skinny to play baseball let alone make an open field tackle on a 200 pound+ runner.

    It's a slow week as far as I know this is the only card broadcast on North American television. Edwards vs Yafai is the only world level bout on essentially a prospect card. Edwards is the favorite to beat the Arab-Brit but he could be damaged goods as the beating he took from Bam was violent...

    Yes he grossed a reported 20 million, the standard split is half goes to your team and management so that would leave Tyson with 10 million before taxes and he would net about 6.2 and change if he can't manage that amount of money into a nest egg to deal with health issues down the line then he...

    2024 New York Jets

    If ever a team needed relegation it's the Jets. I would love for the UFL teams to have a chance to graduate to the NFL and relegate door mats like the Jets and Browns. Obviously with a salary cap and bloated franchise values this isn't happening. Even without a salary cap teams like the Jets...

    Jones vs Stipe

    If he fights on he is danger of becoming Ken Shamrock as the formula for success in your 40's is to be able to smother guys like Couture did and Stipe can't do that like he did and we saw him slowly get picked apart. At some point Jones will get KTFO I don't care but you can't have a gut and...

    I love the line "Tyson lost to an Ed Hardy shirt that came to life". Yes the fight did have a Roman Coliseum fight type feel to it without the emperor giving the thumbs up or down for Paul violently stopping the beyond shot Tyson(or maybe Paul mentally gave the thumbs up). The Saudi card is...

    Yes the Paul vs Tyson circus is the "big event" of the weekend. If it is regarded as an event this fight will be big as stories have popped up on the internet that the clown show has taken the most action in years on a boxing match and the betting public/suckers are betting on Tyson. The...

    2024 Chicago Bears

    From muscle memory Williams does plays that would be highlight reel completions in college but now are lowlight reel follies because his wide receivers aren't open like Sunday morning touch football game players. Supposedly some players want Bagent starting and Williams holding a clipboard with...

    If you are going to sell your cards it's best to sell to a fellow collector. I would put in the ad no dealers please because dealers except for rare exceptional cards only pay pennies on the dollar. A collector could give you 50 percent and think it's a good deal for a dealer only a valuable...

    2024 College Football Week 11

    The ball boy was pushed by Sanders' social media camera man. This is what's totally wrong with NIL as phony narratives and videos that promote them are viewed as the gospel by the uninitiated. Hopefully the Sanders act leaves suburban Denver and goes to a bottom feeder team and blows up like...

    This is a thread on collecting and sports memorabilia in general. As you stated collecting really isn't for kids beyond upper middle class kids. I'm a bit older than you but I remember I used to go and collect pop bottles and beer bottles(more pop) and bought packs with the returned bottles...
