The former undisputed lightweight champion has been one of the sport’s most gifted fighters, but he’s been plagued by demons that have always left more questions than answers. He suffered his first, and only, loss to George Kambosos last year, fighting despite a medical condition known as pneumomediastinum, which can be fatal. He should have pulled out… Source link

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II is a marvelous player. Before the end of his second season he’s already one of the best young defensive players in football. Pro Football Focus’ grades have Surtain ranked as the ninth-best cornerback in the NFL, and that seems low. He has shut down some of the game’s best receivers. He’s a star.

It stings that Deion Sanders has left Jackson State University for the University of Colorado. Sanders brought a great deal of positive attention to the program and the rich history of JSU football, the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The all new Subaru BRZ shouldn’t even exist. What use is there for Subaru and Toyota (which helped co-develop the car and has its version, the 86), for a gas-powered, and not even turbocharged, sports car in this day and age when it’s all about EVs?
