He's at worse the 5th best featherweight in the world right now. Unless he's fighting Max Holloway, I think he has a chance to win against anyone else in the division. He lost to Volkanovski, but he wasn't hurt or embarrassed. Frankie Edgar is fighting for the title next, and I'd take Aldo over him until the end of time. Keep him away from Holloway, Magomedsharipov, and Brian Ortega and he'd probably win at least 6 of 8. Let Mirsad Bektic and Shane Burgos prove themselves against the long time champion before making their way into the top 5. I honestly don't think there is anyone else on the roster he doesn't either pick apart for 3-5 rounds or knock out. Featherweight is really top heavy, he'd be in much more trouble at bantamweight or lightweight.

The History or Westeros podcast is doing a reread if anyone wants to follow along. They started 3 or 4 weeks ago and are doing 7* chapters per episode. They're taking next week off, so it's a good time to catch up. It has been really good so far as they are going pretty deep with everything from the books and the show. Upon my re-listen something I don't think I ever gave any thought to is the fact that Ned is sleep deprived pretty much his entire time in King's Landing. He gets to the city after not sleeping for 4 whole days, and is being pulled in a different direction every time he tries to rest. It is clearly a part of the strategy to make him ineffectual as the hand. Ned is a man of principle and he seeks justice at every turn. It is pretty clear that Robert's Rebellion was about revenge for Robert, but was about justice for Ned. He was hired to be a man of principle by a man who ultimately had no principles...he had no chance at all. *The first episode is the announcement of the project and a 2 chapter breakdown.

Is anyone else looking at this feeling like Genuwine?

This is going to sound crazy, but I don't think there is a single television show or movie that feels like Washington DC.

Never forget, Vader is from Compton, and once came to the ring dressed like this.

A lot of this is what I was talking about when I made the 30 for 30 comment. There was a lot of talk about him and his um.....behavior going around when he was with the Browns.

The strangest part is Col. Robert Parker being so invested in his slave master gimmick that he's wearing a suit full suit on a Higgins Boat to a beach.

I'm just seeing this...I never check my notifications. Honestly, I don't think I like that idea. I don't think you can have less than 5 lineman and play a game that even resembles football. Unless the league had a rule against blitzing and running the ball. So, we'd have a strictly passing league with a rule against rushing more than 4 people. That is kind of the only way I see it working...but if that is the case why not have a professional 7-on-7 league? I actually prefer 12, because it would lead to more offensive creativity.

For what it's worth, someone in Moraes' corner said, "Think of your mom." I'm generally someone who doesn't get too deep into corner bashing, because those guys know the fighter and what motivates him, and I don't...but if two fighters are equal the differences in cornering can be vast.

I replaced 2 light fixtures and that hour or so on that ladder with my head at an awkward angle made my neck lock up. I had maybe 5% mobility in my neck for the next week or so, and have been going to the chiropractor twice a week ever since. My spine in my neck is too straight, and when it locks up it is extremely painful and pretty much restricts all mobility. It had been about 2 years since I've had any issue with it, but it's something that will be an issue for the rest of my life. I'll be 38 on the 30th.

Something about him running around calling himself Ron Isley that would delight the hell out of me.

When the Kellen Winslow II 30 for 30 drops, it's going to be insane.

Is this one of those games that got shit on, but is totally worth playing or is it as big of a piece of shit as it was called back in the day?

My biggest reason for thinking Jessica Andrade beats Tatiana Suarez isn't even the wrestling, it is the constant, never-ending, Terminator like pressure that she puts on her opponents. Suarez has less of a neck injury and more of a neck condition. Her neck has been an issue since she was in the Olympics. As someone with a neck condition, it seems like something that can be treated, but not actually healed. If she slows down in the third round like she did against Ansirov, Andrade will just walk her down and smash her.

I fulfilled my science requirements in college with Biology...in one of the Biology courses we had to learn multiple diseases, infections, and ailments, identify their causes, and identify their symptoms. I don't remember what disease it was now, but the most common symptom was described as "thick, bloody urine, the consistency of ketchup." That's a description I will remember for the rest of my life.
