I'm not complaining about any attack. I couldn't care less about what floyd had to say. I'm just asking the question, why it isn't even being discussed. Given the general sensitivity towards racial slurs, it should be a slam dunk. Boxing is indeed overlooked by the media but not when it comes to its few mega stars. Floyd and Manny are by far its two biggest stars and their ongoing situatuion has been covered heavily. These two guys have both had major exposure and are considerably famous.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/02/floyd-mayweather-racist-rant_n_703731.html NSFW Why does his racist antics get overlooked by the media? This isn't the first time he has recorded himself making racial slurs and homophobic comments. I'm not offended by his comments as much as I'm offended by the double standard. Comments and idiot banter aren't worth getting worked up for IMO, but consistency would be nice. My complaint is with the free pass from the media and such. People have been ripped for much less, even careers ruined. Would this be covered differently if it was Phil Mickelson making a video and calling Anthony Kim a gook and faggot?

It's an entertaining clip but seems scripted. It reminds me of that other minor league manager throwing fake grenades and low crawling around the infield. Many of these minor league clubs will do whatever it takes to entertain and sell tickets. In the end it's still entertainment and thats the name of the game. IMO, nothing beats the real deal though. That Elia clip that exiled shared is HOF meltdown worthy. That sound byte has been played many times but it never gets old. Its genuine disgust and anger that is most entertaining. A special character with such a beautiful grasp on profanity only comes along every so often.

Aside from the stripper parties and millions of dollars, I kind of feel bad for Maybin. I think he is a player that wants to be really good but it's not translating for him. I've already given up on hopes of him being a real playmaker. At this point i'd be really pleased if he became a decent contributor.

Dunkin Donuts Curse. As you approach a DD for a quick cup, an obnoxious number of cars seem to always come from different directions and beat you to the spot. The move is to then go inside because you only see a couple customers on foot. Only to find that the DD as assigned one employee to the in-store customers and a small army to the drive-thru. You're left waiting in line and watching the cars that were ahead of you go on their merry way. Of course, if you stick to the drive thru line, you can be assured that someone is ordering 3 dozen donuts with specific numbers and varying lattes. Its a no win but that stuff has crack in it or something, so I wait.

But but but but he's a PROVIDER! Cromartie has had a far greater negative impact on his children, than positive. Lets call him responsible though because he is paying his mandatory child support. Way to go Antonio!

Gotta disagree. Clemens began juicin' in a Blue Jay uniform. The rest is pretty accurate though.

Victim? Tragedy?

What a joke. Sounds like a small victory for society.

The Deer Hunter Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby Born on the Fourth of July- The winner for most depressing. Precious Schindlers List

Absolutely no right. That win was a gift from the arrogant and overrated Rex Ryan.

Get in as many posts as you can dude. You're not long for the board.

Thanks for the correction. I was a grunt and we didn't get any bushmaster cannons.

Me too. Ma Deuce vs Human Tissue = Reaching out and touching someone

I am all for changing the name,if it is offensive to people. I'm still holding out for a day where the acknowledgement of skin tones is not offensive though. In a world that is full of offensive things, why we spend so much time focusing on skin color is beyond me. Besides the most offensive skin tone is probably my pasty white complexion.

Agreed. Willie Mays belongs in every all-time discussion as well.

1. Level of competition? Baseball in the 20s was made up of 16 teams, as compared to 30 teams in the modern era. We all agree that a number of great negro league players would have flourished if given the chance but it doesn't make your argument true. The modern era has created a slightly watered down product, especially in terms of pitching. 2. I've never heard of that ground rule double fun fact. Thanks for bringing it up, I like that kind of stuff. I don't think you can make a case with it against the Babe though. How many ground rule doubles off of 1920s grass fields do you honestly think he racked up? 3. Ruth didn't bat against an assortment of relief pitchers but he played in an era DOMINATED by pitching. An era in which he hit more HRs than some teams. Pitchers threw from a more elevated position and threw just as hard as they do today. Today the mound is dropped, the pitching staffs are thin, and players/baseballs are juiced. The best way to grade all-time players is to look at what they did compared to others of their era. Nobody dominated like the Babe did.

You got me there.

You and your buddy sound pretty close. Imagine that, the two of you finding the same ditch on a Saturday night!

No way man, my Trent Voodoo doll is made out of glass.

HaHaHa! You are looking pretty good at the moment dog. I'd rather trent stay healthy and pay up my friend.

If we are going with total yards, I'm taking CJ. I believe Chan will find a way to get Spiller involved enough to reach an impressive yardage mark.

Because we got the BOMBS OKAAAY!

Iggy is the man, even the wrinkly version.

I personally believe that PEDs are likely to have been in Tigers past. Whether it was used for rehab or general conditioning, his association with known dealers/doctors is too hard to overlook. I do however, believe that his poor play is less attributed to PEDs and more likely the cause of mental instability. The guy isn't lacking power of any sort. He's just spraying the ball all over the course. His demeanor and body language is that of a guy who is lacking confidence. Bizarre given who he has been his whole career. Perhaps PEDs play a role in lack of confidence? Its possible I suppose, but in the end whether he believes it or not he still has all the physical tools but is lacking that mental edge. To make matters worse for Tiger, the PGA is seeing a changing of the guard so to speak. A whole generation of young talented players are coming into their own. They grew up admiring Tiger but on the course they don't have that fear of him. It used to be that when Tiger made his move on Sundays, the rest of the leader board fell apart with fear and pressure. These young guys don't seem to rattle as easily. They certainly respect Tiger and Phil but they have seen that type of top notch ability before. Tiger intimidated when he was younger, mainly because he was doing things nobody had seen. In a way he raised everyones game to new levels. Especially the young guys who grew up watching him. A little bit of a rant but thats how I see it. Tiger is trying to regain his mental edge against a field he can't entirely intimidate anymore. It's going to be very interesting to see if he can. For the record, I'm still not betting against him.
