Much sport.
FSU - UL
Cavs - Knicks
NY - KC
Kings - Pens

I'm flipping between all four.

Plus the Thudner and Clippers play later.

Should be an entertaining night.

Premier League Darts: a few questions

1) Why do people attend these events

2) Why are they televised

3) Does the UK really have that many degenerate gamblers

As if the concept of broadcasting people playing darts wasn't bad enough, they don't even do it right. It MIGHT be a little interesting to have the camera behind the players to see how they throw it and watch the trajectory of the shot, etc... but no, they don't even show that. All they do is zoom in on the dart board and show where each shot lands. That's like televising a basketball game and just zooming in on the basket for the whole game.

Also, (just looked up a clip to make sure the above criticism was accurate), it's stupid as fuck how much they lean over the line to throw. The line is a plane, you keep your foot AND your hand behind it. I suppose those douchebags probably lean over the table to play beer pong too, bloody wankers.

A glorified sparring session in Macau. A snoozerino for the duderinos y duderinas. Soooo, when is dat Manny-Money punchfest again?

I thought there was a fair amount of action. Manny went after Algieri all fight, but Algieri's skittery-jittery style meant that Manny could never line him up for a real killer punch. All those knockdown looked more like Algieri just either slipping or stumbling, with the lone exception of that one knockdown in the 9th. That one was legit.

If Mayweather fights Pacquiao, it will only be when Pacquiao has demonstrably deteriorated and is only a shadow of what he once was, just like when Mayweather fought De La Hoya and Mosley.

I think Algieri's true calling exists outside of the ring. Why, Algi could make reel dollaz as...a lot lizard working in the financial sector. Or, a Travis-style ball corch.

"Gay Male Porn Star" might not pay as highly as big-time boxing, but at least you don't get ur face caved in on a nightly basis.

Muhammad Ali: Draft resistance
Michael Jordan: Gambling allegations
LeBron James: Improper benefits in high school
Jim Brown: Domestic violence
Jim Thorpe: Stripped of Olympic medals

What's the answer to this question?

Thorpe being stripped of Olympic medals shouldn't belong on that list because he was stripped for getting paid to play baseball from what I remember. His alcoholism, on the other hand...

Answer might be Jack Nicklaus.

Beijing "wins" the rights to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Here's a picture, from this past January, of the mountain that they intend to use for the Alpine events.

It seems to be missing something.

Haha, I was just coming to post about this. They'll also be manufacturing the snow in an area suffering from water shortages. It should also be sad that Beijing narrowly beat out Almaty, Kazakhstan to host the games. The Olympics are dead, lol.

NBC cringes at the thought of an Olympics in the Pacific Time Zone. Gymnastics would need to held in the morning/early afternoon so NBC can package them into a TV friendly prime-time tape-delayed format.

I got no problem with LA as an Olympic city. The city already has the venues built. Some, looking at you LA Coliseum, would just need to modernized. Renovation costs less than complete construction. The traffic would just go from shitty to extra shitty.
