Boxing was never really my thing. Mike Tyson’s best days were behind him by the time I got into sports. There was Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao but a huge factor in their success was the lack of competition around them and how carefully they curated their opponents to avoid any real embarrassing, career-ruining L’s. […]

On Sunday afternoon, the New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 2-0 thanks mostly to the greatness of Gerrit Cole who blacked out and pitched a complete game shutout in an era where pitchers aren’t really allowed to go the full 9 innings because advanced metrics and medical science and blah blah.
