Was on a video call w/ my kid's "success coach," went to say bye and said "nice ta you" instead of "nice to meet you." Tried to recover and say "take care," but instead said "take bye." Then clicked to hang up and said "TAKE BYE?! YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT" and realized I hadn't hung up

It's kind of disturbing how willing we are to accept Covington taking shots at Poirier's family when it could have a lasting impact on a five-year-old child. This is stuff that could be brought up in school, etc for the rest of this kid's life. It's really disgusting.

I can't even get a response from basically anyone in WWE. As I've said all night, this is all second and third hand stuff (that I've heard anyway) but everything is hitting the same notes.
THAT SAID, it could all have the same (incorrect) starting point and have spread outward

The Becky Lynch situation reeks of desperation and desperate booking leads to just miserable mistakes like that. Nobody actually benefited from the way that played out, not even Lynch. She's now tied to a thing people hated. Compare the arrival pop to the post-match reaction.

Thinking he had it all figured out because round one was "easy" is like when you're 6 and think you're really beating your dad at basketball because he lifts you up so you can dunk.

The thing with the Patrick Lyoya situation is that a traffic stop should never end with an officer kneeling on a man's back and shooting him in the back of the head. He tried to run. Ok, cool. Let him go and take his car he left there. Talk to the passenger. It was a TRAFFIC STOP

Tyson vs. Jones facts:
- Not allowed to go for KOs
- Is a "hard sparring" exhibition
- Fight stopped if there's a cut
- No winner will be announced
- Both men will get a "belt" after the fight
- No crowd to riot when fans realize they got grifted

So. Aside from this being a literal endorsement of racist language by the UFC president. The implication that the thing that ultimately determines whether you are right or wrong to use hate speech comes down to whether you win or lose a fight is pretty chilling.

So, Fight Island is just Abu Dhabi, Burns is out of the UFC 251 main event due to COVID, Holloway hasn't sparred and trained via Zoom sessions and Jose Aldo is 0-1 at 135 and receiving a title shot in what will now be the co-main? I love this sport.

I am a fan of Gaethje's fights, for sure. But there's got to be some sort of tremendous satisfaction every time Oliveira makes a dude who says he "has quit in him" tap out, this great sport's way of literally saying "stop doing that to me, I quit."

Personally, I think it'd be a fine precedent to set for the UFC to say "in our organization, an absolute last minute replacement in a title fight has a one pound allowance and will still be allowed to compete for the belt." Cuts are kind of meticulously planned.

Dana saying that they're going to do Poirier/McGregor 4 when McGregor heals while Poirier goes to fight for the title. So, Conor could get a title fight on the strength of a 1-3 (three finish losses) record at 155 & no lightweight win since Nov. 2016

To return to this today ... The top 10 power slap shorts total out at ~650 million views COMBINED. That COMBINED TOTAL would be good for No. 47 on the list of most-watched YouTube shorts. Where did this claim of six of the top 10 all-time come from? I'm lost.
The idea that Power Slap has six of the top 10 YouTube shorts of all time is SO WILDLY INACCURATE and takes the minimum amount of fact checking. The top Slap short has 314mil views (that is a lot!) but the entire top 10 most-viewed shorts are over 1 BILLION views.
