rcade, to me, that's the most confounding part of it. Guy was a legit 5-tool player when he came up, and very likely would be in the HoF today just based on natural talent.

You know, if they hadn't been such massive douchebags personally, they probably would have been voted in already. Like it or not, personality goes a long way, and the baseball writers who vote on the HOF can be a vindictive bunch with long memories.

Damn Chargers cost me a 100-point week. My homerism for the Phins might bite me, but I'm riding the streak, baby. Happy new year, Spofites!

Rumple with a hyper-aggressive approach to Christmas week. Hope that doesn't end in a stocking full of coal.

Please, beav, no. Living in the Midwest, the Colts are on all the time, and they are as boring as white paint. Not even glossy white paint. Matte.

I used to really enjoy boxing on TV; that's where I first saw Earnie Shavers, Ali, Larry Holmes, Leon Spinks, Frazier, Foreman, et al. Later, when welterweights became big, I remember Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Livingstone Bramble, Boom Boom Mancini, Hector Camacho, Barry McGuigan, Aaron Pryor, and more. They were compelling characters, electrifying fighters, and they were on network TV. I believe I watched heavyweights on NBC, and the welterweights on CBS.
Pay-per-view is what lost me, particularly during the rise of Tyson, when a main event was over in five rounds or less, and there was no compelling undercard to hold my interest. The latest craze in celebrity combat sports holds absolutely no interest for me, although that likely speaks more to a generational thing than the quality of the combat.
Still, the way that Woodley appeared to blatantly throw that last fight to Paul was shocking, even to somebody who grew up during the bad ol' days of Don King-type corruption and thievery.
