  1. You're absolutely right. Of course, every UFO nut and especially this idiot that has been testifying in front of Congress recently, goes on and on about actual aliens and "biologics" and shit. One thing I've never understood though is why you would bother with drones/whatever. How does sending them out into the Universe benefit you and your civilization? If they could terraform planets, report back to you somehow about what they've found, or do basically anything beneficial to you it might make sense. Again, you and yours are stuck due to the laws of physics. So the robots can take over the Universe, but you can't. Unless they're hauling along some way to replicate your species, I suppose? In regards to the recent shenanigans in regards to UFOs, I'm all for it. Not because there actually are aliens or any such nonsense. But because it would be dope if the DoD and the Pentagon had to actually pass an audit and open up the books on where all the money is going.
  2. Yeah, it's just so wild to believe a sentient, intelligent, space-faring race of aliens exist but that they also somehow have found us in the vast infinity of the universe and only show themselves to Bubba the inbred hick or to people who have super-grainy camera footage as the only evidence. For aliens to be here they: 1. Have to have broken the fundamental laws of the Universe. No alien is getting here by slow-boating in a ship at some fraction of the speed of light. So they have to have FTL or some equivalent technology. It has been theorized these technologies are possible, but the amount of energy they would require is ridiculous beyond belief. If your civilization had the energy required to go anywhere in the Universe, why the fuck would you bother with Earth? I can go to Oklahoma anytime I want. Never do. Funny how that works. 2. They have to know where we are. Space is quite large. Unbelievably large, in fact. So large as to be literally infinite. The amount of the Universe THAT WE CAN SEE, which in no way the entire Universe, has a 46 Billion LY radius. It has somewhere in the region of 2 TRILLION GALAXIES. TWO. TRILLION. GALAXIES. Our galaxy by itself is estimated to have somewhere between 100-400 BILLION stars. Science has now proven that planets are ubiquitous across our galaxy. So aliens are the best Where's Waldo players ever. On a side note, it's estimated that the entire Universe is 26 TRILLION LY across. That's wild as fuck. 3. There has been some argument lately to the exact number, but it's estimated the Universe is 14.7 BILLION years old. That's a mighty long time, right? Except a nice chunk of time right after the Big Bang was so hot atoms couldn't form. Then, when shit cooled down just a smidge and atoms could form it took quite awhile for the first super massive stars to form. Because, as we know, all heavy elements exist because stars formed, burned bright, started converting their cores into heavier and heavier elements, and then exploded to spread that shit across the Universe to form into even more stars. Life on this planet took BILLIONS of years to evolve to its current state. We almost didn't make it plenty of times. So, knowing all that, we also know the last star should form around 100 TRILLION YEARS from now. We are nowhere close to the peak habitability of the Universe. We really should shave about 4-5 Billion years off the timeline for when sentient life could exist, but whatever. So, 14.7 billion divided by 100 trillion is .000147%. That's how old the Universe is compared to when the last star gets made. But somehow aliens have already created a Type 3/4 civilization, packed up the interstellar Winebago, found us, and are probing the asses of low IQ motherfuckers on our shitbird planet. There are no aliens. Just like there are no unicorns, dragons, Santa Claus, tooth fairies, or hot milfs in your area that want to fuck you. There are plenty of grifters who like making an easy buck off of gullible people and government types who like keeping the hoi polloi distracted while they continue to loot and pillage.
  3. Bud put on a fucking clinic. Don't know if that was anywhere near the best Spence out there, though. Dude seemed off from the jump. Who the fuck is Bud going to fight now, though? There's no one at Welter. Does he move up? Fight one of the Charlos?
  4. Honestly, something looked wrong with Spence before he even got in the ring. Dude looked baked as fuck. He's just getting annihilated. Damn.
  5. Ho-lee shit. Spence already got dropped.
  6. It's finally time. I legit don't know who is going to take this one. Popcorn. Is. Ready.
  7. Seems like if I were a billionaire and I desperately wanted to see the wreck of the Titanic up close I'd: 1) Build my own fucking sub that was actually able to do the trip 2) Ask ol' James Cameron if I could borrow his sub that went down 3x as far with no problems 3) Not stuff myself into a jerry-rigged POS with an idiot owner who cut corners at every turn and whose first interaction with me was to have me sign a contract saying he ain't liable for shit But maybe I'm overthinking it.

    Guys, guys. Gio obviously wasn't good enough to play at the World Cup. He deserved to be on the bench. Ggreg knows best. 🤡

    There we go, boys!
  16. Sorry, but 117-111 is crazy talk. Fight was extremely close. I thought Loma took it down the stretch. Though, he did the same thing that cost him against Teofimo by taking the 12th round off. Moretti's card was a fucking crime. Of course, this is expected. Young undefeated guy that they're going to make money off of for a long-time is always getting the nod over the 35 year old at the tail-end of his career. Not as blatant a robbery as Weeks stopping the fight for no reason so Romero could beat Barroso. How are you giving the 10th to Haney? Supposedly Loma's camp asked for Moretti to be replaced and they got told to fuck off. Haney boxed fairly well, but he ain't it. He let an older, much smaller fighter bully him and put him in severe trouble late. If Haney can't do the ol' hug and hold he has severe weaknesses. No power. Bad head movement (Loma lit him up with the left all night). Not very durable. Shakur takes him to school. Tank decapitates him. Which is why he's gonna go runnin' to 140.
  17. So supposedly Spence v. Crawford is on for July 22. And supposedly AJ v. Wilder is on for December, maybe in that 4-man tournament. Obviously no one should believe any of this until the bell rings for Round 1, but we might be getting some bangers.
  18. Crazy numbers. Even Canelo hasn't sniffed those type of numbers since his first go around with GGG. These boxers have to figure this social media shit out and they've got to start making big fights. An up-an-coming mid-tier fighter like Garcia just took home BANK not even fighting for a belt. Meanwhile, hardly anyone that ain't deep in the boxing scene knows who Bud Crawford/Errol Spence even are, much less how big of a fight that would be. We've got a sure-fire HoFer and the guy holding all the belts in the same weight class as Davis/Garcia fighting next month and they won't get anywhere close to 1.2m PPV buys.
  19. Musta been that whole "he's deathly afraid of milk" stuff that was going around. Or people just have no respect for someone that puts mayo in their coffee.
  20. So who is the next Longhorn to get drafted? Is there one?
  21. Kinda seems like the Lions needed a defensive pick as their first guy. A RB that would have been sitting there in the 2nd round? Yikes.
  22. Bijan to the Falcons!

  24. What a great listen! Thanks for that, man. Yeah, it's almost comical how bad most boxers are today. And not just in how they don't have those old school skills the greats of the past had. A lot of the upper echelon of boxers today have almost no basic skills. Take that Joe Joyce v. Zhang fight from last week. Joe Joyce before that fight was an interim belt holder and a future mandatory for Usyk. He was considered to be a Top 5 Heavyweight. Zhang, who turns 40 soon, has no gas tank, isn't considered some slick boxer, and is just rated as having decent power. He annihilated Joyce over six rounds by just repeatedly throwing a straight left hand. No feints. No quick footwork. No bob and weave. Just smashed the left hand to Joyce's eye repeatedly until it looked like a blown up blueberry. Joyce, a Top 5 guy, had no ability whatsoever to dodge a single, repeated punch. I think a lot of it just comes down to, like was mentioned, current guys just don't ever fight. They have some sort amateur career where they bash the heads in of cans and their physical abilities carry them. Then they turn pro and smash some more cans because the promoter needs an undefeated prospect to get some hype going. So these guys are low double digit wins and fighting for titles (title bloat being another problem where every Tom, Dick, and Harry has a belt). Except the guys holding the belts ALSO don't have a depth of experience. And once you get a belt and some notoriety, it's in your best interest to hardly ever fight and when you do, fight guys you easily outclass. The money is too good at that point. That's why I've always rated Usyk so well. Dude had 300+ amateur fights before turning pro. He doesn't go in for killing guys with a knockout punch. He uses speed and skill to outmaneuver all his opponents. It's why I knew a guy like AJ had almost no chance against him. A blown up dude who looks like he belongs on a stage at Mr. Olympia instead of inside a boxing ring. He's slow, stiff, and a sitting duck for a smaller, quicker fighter. It's the reason Tyson Fury wants no part of a fight with Usyk. On a side note, Dan and Silver bang on Mike Tyson a bit, but Tyson himself has talked numerous times about how he's nothing compared to the greats of the past. It's kinda wild to think about how most top guys today will retire with somewhere around 30 pro-fights. Of which, only a handful were meaningful bouts against "top" competition. Whereas guys in ages past fought HUNDREDS of times.
  25. After watching the replay a few times it looks like it might have cracked a rib? Kid just wasn't ready for an experienced guy like Tank. His defense is leaky as fuck. He's damn fast with his punches and he has some power, but his footwork is bad and he just leaves himself open too much. Garcia needed some more fights before he stepped up to this level. Especially since he was kinda inactive leading up to this. Though I'm firmly in the camp of not giving a fuck if a guy has a loss or two on his record. Garcia pushed for the fight and got it and we got to see two undefeated guys go at it in an entertaining fight. More guys need to be willing to do this. All this ducking and running and waiting until guys age out of their prime is ruining the sport.
