Kariya gets into a fight that doesn't involve dropped gloves or a jersey over the head.: I know you all hate the ESPN but I thought this was pretty cool. Noriko Kariya, Paul's "little" sister is a field hockey player turned prize fighter.
Paul Kariya, one of the NHL's most gentlemanly players, could use his sister as an enforcer. Cute. On preview: dammit! Still. Nice read.

That is a very cool story. And I agree with the piece about the state of women's boxing. If they want more people to take it seriously, then there needs to be more pros who do. A dozen or so fighters across all the weight classes taking the sport seriously (as opposed to using it as a stepping stone to break into acting or the fitness business or whatever) is not enough to keep it valid. "Lady Bang." Heh. Right on.

Interesting. It doesn't hurt that she is stunning. Whoa. She can punch my in the face if it means I get to hit her back... With my lips. (Now THAT's pathetic.)

Great article, but there are few things uglier than a white person wearing cornrows. She could be the most beautiful woman walking the earth today, but I look at her, and all I see is Bronson Arroyo.

Of course, I'm not gonna tell her that.

Thanks, TBH. I think I just pissed myself at work (not to mention some strange stares upon my laughter amidst dead silence)

I thing Eagles gurl is really just dav in drag, or ww have someone who suffered the same head trauma as dav, you know the kind that causes you to type like a retard.

Agreed about the white people with cornrows thing. Here's the million dollar question, though: are they uglier/stupider-looking than white people with dreadlocks or vice versa?

HATER, I think you mean "retart."

"People like to say Paul's the Lady Byng and I'm the Lady Bang," That's a great fuckin' quote. I love Paul as a player but I wouldn't mind watching him get his ass beat by his sister. Thanks HATER.
