I was telling my kid last night that the fight I most remember watching with my dad was Hagler/Leonard. It's a shame there just aren't those type of fights/fighters anymore.

  The numbers will exceed anything they anticipated.  Directv was crashed on the phones and online with people trying to pay to watch the fight.  Never seen a fight delayed to let the cable providers try and handle the volume of the demand.

  Waste of $100.  Pretty boring IMO.  No way I pay or even search for a place to watch a rematch.  Not that there will necessarily be one.  These two are not close at this stage in their careers.  Would have loved to have seen them go at it 5 years ago.  Think Reggie Miller was pretty poignant in his assessment before the fight about that opinion.

Mayweather fastest fighter I've ever seen.

Ditto

[Hidden Content] Not the biggest Le Batard fan but I do listen to him a couple of times a week. One thing I love about him is his absolute impatience with stupidity.

Completely agree with all of that. Wasn't the case with either kid I am talking about though.

C'mon man. You have to see the point...

A little different way a making bullets13's point but an excellent job of making it. Completely agree.

I'm pretty sure they even named something on that campus after Nevin Shapiro (and then quickly removed it when his Ponzi scheme went bust).

Misery loves company ;)

Reading my mind... (Except for the Pacq making him bleed. Would surprise me a little if that happened).

My experience is more often than not it is the parents (NOT in this instance because I have zero idea what happened with these two). Know of a couple of instances of parent driven moves before the season though to teams with less exposure, playing at a lower level. I also know some kids and parents who replaced them that will owe those parents who moved their kids a huge thank you when it's all said and done ;)

My heart says Pacquiao but my head says Mayweather will be too much for Manny at this stage in his career.

One of the benefits of the rookie salary cap. Can take a couple in consecutive years and hope one pans out. Worked out for the Cowboys with Aikman & Steve Walsh.

May be the best overall ever....

Does Swaggy Sumblin still get credit for outrecruiting Chuck for the first 3 months Strong was on the job?

Belichek being Belichek....

If you are a sauce guy, JBs is a must try for you. I had a buddy of mine from Houston that would stop in and ship a case of it to his dad in New Jersey every time he passed through.

Shoots it well from 3 and has serious hops. Needs some weight training and improved ball skills but he definitely has talent. And really is a great kid.

Jaylon is a guard. Plays the 2 or 3 for us. 6'4" and jumps through the roof.

I think you are right tvc (re: 3 Xs more likely when victim is white). I believe that was a study from Yale University 5-10 years ago. Thanks for the clarification.

We joke but I were him and this happened, I would seriously consider a year or two in Canada. Dead serious.

Greg Shead from Atascocita and Aaron Cephus from Dekaney/Westbury Christian moved to the Defenders this year from TJ Ford. A new addition to the 15u team, Jaylon Williams of Cleveland continues to receive rave reviews. After a game against KC Run GMC in New Orleans where Future 150 was tweeting live about Jaylon's performance (he had several amazing finishes above the rim against Manute Bol's 7 foot son Bol Bol), he had a game against Mo Williams this past weekend where he finished with 23 pts, 10 boards, and 5 assists. He now has several high D1 coaches (Power 5 Conference schools) making his games on the circuit. Look for him to continue to rise in the rankings as his game improves. He is already shooting up the lists.

I wonder if that's because more whites are charged with murder than blacks by a long shot. Yet the death populations are remarkably close. Those facts were based upon studies at Yale and the University of Maryland as I recall...
