Would you rather watch Mayweather v Pacquiao in their primes or chester v OB slap fighting?

Would you rather be the superstar player making millions or dollars a year but unable to walk down the street without being hounded by paparazzi/constantly having your life examined through a magnifying glass or a averagely talented player who makes good money but goes practically unnoticed on any of the sports analysis shows and never really gets any press?

Is there an option to just be a backup? I'd love to sit on the bench and make $600k a season. :laughing:

Inspired by OU: would you rather be knocked out by Mike Tyson in his prime, or be choked out by Georges Saint-Pierre until you're unconscious.

I don't know why I get so excited for these horses that win the first 2 legs, it seems to happen every year. Looked like he knew he couldn't get thru on the rail and went outside, which took too much out of him...

A lot of people in downstate NY (read: NYC and Westchester County) want to move the Preakness to the Belmont's date and then move the Belmont back to 4th of July weekend.

Isnt that how it used to be? Or at least the gaps between races were much larger?

It has always been the way it is now. The younger generation of horse trainers train for one big race per month. Back when Pepperidge Farm remembers, trainers trained horses to run more big races in a shorter period of time.

That would produce more triple crown winners (like more than once every 36 and counting years) and also would taint the accomplishment. You saw today why it's so hard. 1)The Belmont is really damn long 2)Chrome was running against rested horses.

That's why the younger trainers want to space the races out more. They don't want to put in the hard work work to have a triple crown winner under the current system. The easiest solution, in their mind, is to change the system which is a better fit for their training methods.

There's an OTB at a local bar 2 blocks from my place. I was going to go but I got busy around the house and forgot about it but I would have bet on AROD(General? I forget the first part). That "would have done it" bet was looking good until the end. That was exciting though. I'm still not getting into horse racing or anything but I'm just saying.

I blew thru like $1500 of my graduation money the summer after college at Del Mar. Beers, women, $5 exacta boxes. Mad fun. Think the most I ever won was $100, only went home with more money than I came with maybe 4 times. And we went 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks.

So I was just surfing channels and happened upon the opening ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games (which I didn't even know existed) on NBCSN. It's pretty amazing.

the USA basketball thing is weird to me. why do the pros even want to play? it's like arm wrestling toddlers. then we have the ultra Murrca crowd coming hard and pissed if they don't want to represent their country. it's a waste of time.

Congratulations to Seoul Little League for helping South Korea win its first Little League Shampship since 1985. Take that, Chicago. You windbags better pray that they pulled off a Zamboanga, but what are the chances of that happening?
