    Beautiful, Carr sprinting to the end zone and leaping after the play, I mean..looks healthy.
    Need that mobility and athleticism, one of the things that sets him apart.
    The pass to Coop was nice too

    Just watched Federer get pushed to 5 sets by a 19 year old American. His fanatics looked like me during a Dodgers playoff game...fun to see that pain on someone else's face during a sporting event for once. I'm in New York all week for the US Open for the first time in 6 years. Always been a fun event to attend.

    Federer looked off his game, but I thought Tiafoe looked pretty good. It's nice to see a young American player with a complete game instead of the big serve / big forehand Sampras/Roddick clones that have been been stinking up tennis for the last decade.

    Yep. Big serves, big forehands, awful backhands, and no variety. The typical American since Agassi retired. Tiafoe only has 2 ATP wins. Impressed that he went toe to toe with Federer on such a big stage, but it was mainly due to Federer's poor play to be honest. Not ready to buy into him just yet.

    Joe Haden cut by CLE, 6 or 7 teams already showing interest, strongest reportedly coming from N.O. and K.C.

    I'll buy into McGregor the UFC fighter all day...boxer? Hell no. Floyd could have ended that a lot earlier.

    probably but why take the risk?
    conor was only going to get more gassed, and when floyd chose to close mcgregor had nothing left
    the only boxing match i'd pay to see conor in would be against that douchenozzle malinaggi
    otherwise agree, he needs to stick to mma

    malinaggi said only what he could to try and save face
    i don't care how his sparring session with conor was edited
    he got caught with a big left and then legitimately knocked down
    no one was arguing that floyd wasn't a superior boxer
    but floyd himself said conor was a lot better than he thought

    didn't say that
    but it would be a lot more competitive than against floyd
    paulie has zero power
    but he does have decent boxing skills

    Andre Ward needs to line up McGregor, GGG, and Canelo and just mow´em all down..get that money
    Doesn´t look like he´ll be meeting any of them, though, since there´s been talk of him moving up to heavyweight instead..and I cannot wait to see that
    Best boxer in the world and he can´t find worthy opposition
