I did see a thing going around showing supposed scorecards from the fight going around claiming that Pacman had more points, and should have won, but I don't know anything about the source or legitimacy of that.

That's like thinking the XFL was serious.

The XFL Football may be the best football ever. I say that because the only better football I've thrown was mas an Ostrich skin ball, but the XFL ball was dope. I love, LOVE math, and cooking, but throwing stuff around, be it a hockey puck or a ball makes me feel sublime.

Although I prefer the Ostrich skinned ball, an XFL ball is pretty much perfect for a toss.

Not to sound like a wiener, but I can't think of many things I love more than a game of catch. Frisbee/puck/softball/football/etc.. It's more about talking than anything. Makes getting to know someone really, really easy.

The XFL gave us the first widespread use of Skycams.

Picked up a tablet because work has turned up the internet monitoring, and I still have unlimited data on my Verizon phone so why not?

This should explain my absence, though I doubt many noticed

Sadly, it defaults to mobile view for here and I haven't found the setting on the boards to disable that yet. I can tick my browser's Request Desktop Site box, but that doesn't seem to stay between sessions... Oh well, I'll survive

Plus in game side line reporting. And speaking with cheerleaders. And extra audible pumped up crowd noise. And "coach cam". And He Hate Me.

Face it. The XFL was terrible, but it got so many things right that the NFL never thought of. It's like that Jared Joker picture. It's so, so off the mark, but maybe we're missing something as we don't dare to be stupid. You don't have to change the game...just mix it up a bit.

Wow, somebody actually thought the lingerie league was serious? That's like thinking the XFL was serious.

And Pacquiao tried. He didn't do as well as he normally does and just couldn't get in the hits. Don't blame him for it.

He threw less and landed half of what mayweather did. He didnt try hardly enough.

He also landed half of what he normally lands. When he did throw, Mayweather just avoided it and used his superior range. He couldn't get in close enough to throw properly.

basically the fight lol. if this fight didn't kill boxing i don't know what will. i always enjoy hbo and shotimes boxing after dark. maybe because the boxers featured are just on the cusp of a level fighters and still hungry.

I don't think it's dead, I just think we'll have to wait for the Mayweather era to end. If anything, I like Pacquiao more after this whole ordeal.

Might not be dead, but it certainly doesn't have a heartbeat. Road rage fights in the wal*mart parking lot are way more entertaining. Fights in hockey games are ten times as thrilling. Watching George Foreman sell electric grills is more exciting, and I grew up preferring light weight fights.

Boxing needs to find their Jeremy Lin. Find someone to root for, not against. And please let that someone be quiet. No one likes a loud mouth who only boxes once every few years and picks his own fights. We need a blue collar bad ass.
