  1. Well now you’re clearly not talking about 1986-1988 because Holyfield wasn’t a heavyweight by that time and Witherspoon was over 30 and his weaknesses were already exposed
  2. He wants to fight him at 200 Even at 200, Canelo is a 6-pack can of worms compared to a 58-year old that just received a concussion 4 days prior. Jake claims Canelo will come calling him for a pay day. Not sure if that’s just a terrible promo or if Jake really believes his bullshit, but he’s not going to like now that negotiation turns out.
  3. Wanted to wait until now to post this: If you’ve seen that 9-minute video of Tyson in training at my gym, there’s a reason he kept saying “I wanna box more.” He was concussed from having been knocked out by his sparring partner on Monday. His team had to pick him up off the canvas. And this was after he showed up 2 hours and 15 minutes late to the workout and had a verbal confrontation with both of his trainers and his brother-in-law about him not wanting to do any cardio. If Jake doesn’t carry him, this is going to be nightmarishly ugly.
  4. Depends on what goes down. If it goes 5 rounds or more? Yeah. Likely a work, especially if Tyson ends up winning in that scenario. Over in the first two? Total shoot regardless of who wins.
  5. Actually he won’t. That’s not his way, and his actual way is what’s going to get him over tonight. There’s a reason that when you watch those impressive-looking videos of Tyson working out, there’s a lot you don’t see. You do see a guy looking very good for a few seconds at a time, but it’s always against a trainer wearing a belt pad and mitts. You don’t see him doing cardio and you don’t see him sparring. There’s a reason for that. There’s also a reason that you see vids of his team going nuts over him executing the most mundane moves like slipping out of a corner. And I take no glee in saying that. I’m one of the biggest Mike Tyson fans there ever was. But I’m also a realist. For this fight to seem competitive will require an outrageous carrying effort by Jake. Otherwise this will end quickly. Could Tyson catch Jake with a hard, square right hand that puts him down? Yes. If there’s one weakness about Jake Paul that you can say that makes him vulnerable to Mike Tyson, it’s that he’s very sloppy and that sloppiness could potentially leave him open. But as others have said, I’m not seeing it and that’s Mike’s sole path to a win: a first/second round shot heard ‘round the world.
  6. Me at the gym at Military and Buckner in Dallas. These dudes that rented it out on Monday
  7. BUT THE COST OF EGGS AND BACON!!!
  8. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna179837 Checks out. The Palestinians are finished; two-state settlement is dead, one-state “settlement” is dead. This is a one-state conquest that confirms the words of Moishe Dayan when he said “we have to be able to tell the Palestinians: we have no solution, you shall continue to live like dogs, and if you wish you may leave.” And that still will not stop people from vigorously applauding and saying “look at me, me am smart.”
  9. Gotta keep the rest of the country barefoot, ignorant and stupid while the real masters of humanity reap all the benefits. Because, you know, rich people have been taking it in the shorts in America since 1980. The problem is that Macklemore, and far too many morons like him, thinks that he’s one of said masters. He thinks he’s someone who’s going to be benefiting from all that chickenshit Project 2025 horror novel. He has absolutely no idea that Project 2025 envisions people exactly like him as one of its victims and he so easily does it because he, once again, is one of those dipshit losers that worked themselves into believing that 1) politics is a team sport, 2) his team won, 3) therefore he “won.” He has no idea that he didn’t win shit. It reminds me of something pre-insanity Bill Maher said back in 2000. He said something about he was watching the NBA playoffs and noted that guys cared way too much about who wins. This is a paraphrase, but it went something like “I can’t stand guys who say “we won!” No, you didn’t “win” anything. Ten black guys who would hate you, if they knew you, won.”
  10. They will get what they asked for, they will be absolutely indignant about the grisly consequences of their choices, and then they will find a way to blame the Democrats like the feculent intellectual beggars they’ve always been.
  11. ^ Great channel
  12. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it true that when Trump was in the WH for his first two years and the GOP held both the House and Senate, the number of immigration reform legislations they sent to his desk was not greater than zero?
  13. Ha! That poor fool couldn’t whip cream with an outboard motor.
  14. You should check out Port Aransas right around Access Road 1. It’s a fucking MAGA circle jerk
  15. There’s that phrase again
  16. And which ones
  17. There is one and you already know it. I believe it’s referred to as a “conflict of interest.” So yeah they might pay lip service to the idea of helping the working class, but they’ve got corporate donors to think about too.
  18. You’re not doing that either.
  19. They’ve made slight gains and I think the problem is that the working class collectively believes it’s not coming fast enough. Look, there’s a lot of truth to the statement that there’s barely any difference between the R’s and the D’s. I’ve been saying that for 17 years. But two things: 1. There are small differences and small differences have a way of translating into large outcomes for the exact people you’re talking about. 2. The rare few times those small differences have shown up to the benefit of the working class has certainly been when the Democrats were the policymakers.
  20. Nor are you.
  21. You think you’re making good points
  22. They’ve been trained to believe that politics is a team sport. What else do you think motivates them to vote against their interests? Chomsky had it straight many decades ago, and sadly, we haven’t done much as a whole to prove him wrong: ”When I'm driving, I sometimes turn on the radio and I find very often that what I'm listening to is a discussion of sports. These are telephone conversations. People call in and have long and intricate discussions, and it's plain that quite a high degree of thought and analysis is going into that. People know a tremendous amount. They know all sorts of complicated details and enter into far-reaching discussion about whether the coach made the right decision yesterday and so on. These are ordinary people, not professionals, who are applying their intelligence and analytic skills in these areas and accumulating quite a lot of knowledge and, for all I know, understanding. On the other hand, when I hear people talk about, say, international affairs or domestic problems, it's at a level of superficiality that's beyond belief.” And it’s certainly turning out its ugly head again today. We’ve got motherfuckers coming here to talk shit…but when the red flags about the economy were coming out in 2019 and when they horribly botched the response to one of the worst pandemics we’ve ever seen? Fucking crickets. They can’t defend his policies (to the extent they even know what they are, which is doubtful), but they love to talk shit about “cuck lib tears.” And they think “libruls” are the problem. No, motherfucker. The problem is dickheads like that who refuse to learn anything. If they have one talent in this world, it’s the complete inability to understand simple things and when called out for it, act all butthurt and indignant. One of the big problems the Democrats had last night was low turnout. Sadly, the wrong people turned out. But that’s how it always is. When Trump said that he could shoot people on Madison Avenue and his numbers wouldn’t go down, he wasn’t joking and he wasn’t wrong either. There’s a reliable contingent of people who will vote for a fucking convicted felon as long as they have the magic R next to their name on the screen. They have no moral compass, and they think the biggest problem is people like me saying that they have no moral compass. Them not having a moral compass is their issue, not mine. It’s like I tell my MAGAt cousin every time he spews out one of his baseless, chickenshit conspiracy theories without the slightest shred of evidence to support it: if you don’t give me a reason to believe you, I have no reason to believe you, and not having a reason to believe you is literally the best reason not to believe you.
  23. “Cuz we can’t fuckin listen, and we can’t pay attention to history, and we only half-assed fuckin pay attention and listen” -Mike Leach
  24. I swear, right now this feels like the South Park episode where Steve Jobs keeps fucking with those people who don’t read the User Terms
  25. There’s also going to be the tariffs that Trump’s followers honestly believe are paid for by the “offending” country. That shit is going to reignite inflation, and it’s just further proof that Americans are by and large financially illiterate. Blame Biden for gas prices, blame Biden for inflation, yada yada. Meanwhile, we literally went through this experiment already in 2019 when it really was the Trump economy by that point. He couldn’t take credit for Obama’s successes anymore, and it was a drastic failure. The yield curve inverted, and gold/silver going up while copper went down, and all that was before any of you motherfuckers knew what coronavirus even was, and yet we’ve got sniveling little dickheads telling us that the bigger problem is people like me pointing that out.
