He was probably of the last generation of plentiful White front 7 stars on defense. He also was probably in the last generation of NFL stars that wrestled full time after their careers ended due to the explosion of salaries in the league. He also opened my eyes on the spendthrift...

Maybe because he disappeared similar to Kaiser Sose I had never heard of him as I recall all of the various world class male Australian sprinters from the Moscow Olympics to this season. Since the sport is only a semi pro sport for all but the elite super stars the sport will lose competitors...

I would say no but according to government statisticians if he were a rapist, school shooter, drug lord, etc he would be one. So in other words in real life if he robbed me at a local 7/11 I wouldn't describe him as a White male to the officer who arrived to the scene. Wrapping up the weekend...

Yes it's a fairly busy weekend with even a Sunday card. The card tonight has Big Gurg against Dajuan Calloway, this could be the one fight where the jumbo Armenian is the smaller man in a fight as Calloway has routinely fought at 3 bills+ and even has tipped the scales in the low 4 bills range...

Supposedly his pops and uncle are the brain trust behind the black mail attempt against UT and now will have to take less to sign with UCLA. It's a fitting lesson to college prospects to not have underqualified relatives negotiating multimillion dollar deals for you. Jed Clampett had more...

Yes a slow weekend compared to last weeks multiple cards that even had event overlap. Ennis vs Stanionis is the crown jewel fight of the weekend and could be a fight of the year candidate if recent form of the two combatants are similar tomorrow. As far as I can tell Stanionis is the only...

Yes that was a touch foul and could have cemented the game or at least if Flagg scored on free throw attempts forced overtime in the game. I don't get why Scheyer didn't have his best player(Flagg) with decent height inbound the ball to a good hands type team. It seemed like the team...

I watched this live but without sound as my main television had another sport on and it's possible Hrgovic had stamina issues because he took the fight on short notice. Yes it was a back and forth fight and Joyce surprisingly showed some life in him but still the same awful skillset. Hopefully...

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44443675/nets-sign-g-leaguer-drew-timme-multiyear-contractA dollar short and a day late but "The Mustache" Drew Timme was promoted to the Brooklyn Nets and is putting in decent minutes so far averaging quality back up minutes. He even signed a multi year deal...

Yes a busy weekend with the Joyce vs Hrgovic fight being the highest profile fight of the weekend. Hrgovic has to beat the fading Joyce who seems to have had his chin cracked after years of walking through bombs. The winner will probably get a high profile fight on a Saudi card but the loser...

It's a German surname that is a bit of slur it means a man with coarse hair. I suspect the mispronouncing of the name is due to the fact that nobody but German speakers can pronounce the name properly. The surname is supposed to have a German character called a umlaut to help with uttering...

I was thinking non starter pay which would be probably below 100k. Yes the starter pay is decent and that would be an office manager of fairly profitable company. I think Johnny Idiot couldn't handle walking the streets of a major city and nobody caring who he was. Which most CFL players are...

If he bothers to sign with a CFL team the myth of Trey Lance will be exposed. I think he probably can play in this league but he won't dominate defenses and probably will be a weak back up type. With the guaranteed money he has collected he could ride off in the sunset. Collecting office...

Yes it's a slow weekend for meaningful bouts as Zepeda vs Farmer is the only world level male bout on North American television but Mayer vs Ryan should be a decent female fight and it has the intrigue from the first fight as somebody sprayed Ryan with paint a few hours before their first fight...

Yes we talked about this in a few boxing threads on the history of the sport. The heavyweight division was nearly devoid of any quality White fighters and seemed to have one perennial top ten fighter per sporting generation(one Olympic cycle) that for whatever reason could never get over the...

Does Shirvington have a world individual level medal? I think he has two bronze relay medals and a 4th place finish in the 60m dash. PS I was thinking this over and Shirvington does have a better resume to this point as he had multiple world level appearances and made two indoor finals.

He's already passed Matt Shirvington in terms of accomplishments and it looks like he has no fear of world level competition. Which might have been the reason why Shirvington never made the 100m breakthrough he was projected to do when he first burst on to the scene in the 100m final at the...

Yes among my first memories of Foreman was reading of his flag waving and the contrast of this with Carlos and Smith and their forced removal from the Olympic village. Foreman had two careers where he was the indestructible force who destroyed opponents with his brute force and the older boxer...

This is the most exposure I have seen of the Irish prospect. I will say the glass is half full until proven otherwise as his power looks world class off of that knockout. Yes this is probably the last stand of Kambosos as anything but a B side name opponent if he can't win this one. As far...

This week is a slow week for White fighters in North America but in a few hours the main card of the Nick Ball title defense against veteran former champion TJ. Doheny takes place with plenty of prospects fighting leading up to the main event which on paper looks like a mismatch as the veteran...

It's rumored that on Tuesday Rodgers will ink a 2 year deal with the Steelers. The Jets record aside Rodgers looked reasonable but far from his ATG abilities with the Packers. The Jets releasing Rodgers for essentially a gadget players who is full time qb is nothing about abilities and...

Yes it's a slow weekend with the all female card in GB being probably the weekend headliner. The DAZN card in Toronto only has one fighter I recognize and he was a B side foil who exposed a prospect on a PPV last year. I could watch the main event to see if this was a one off fluke or he was...

There are kinky haired White people(obviously less) but his name is Anglo-Saxon and his features are clearly not Anglo-Saxon and people with that look that have English surnames are light skinned Blacks or Jews from all of the cases I have seen.

I remember stories about Haugen fighting in open weight fights on the semi pro Toughman circuit in Alaska. He also was a decided underdog in many of his key bouts and received B side scoring treatment in the Paz trilogy and maybe the Camacho rematch even if he was the nominal champion as...

Yes it slipped my mind, I didn't even know he was sick. He was a very underrated boxer who beat a string of decent lightweight fighters and then beat Jimmy Paul for the IBF title. He got the short end of the stick in the Paz rivalry but his win over the undefeated Camacho in their first fight...
