Trump siding with Saudi murderers over journalists and innocents is ...
... well, frankly, something we all saw coming. Least surprising development ever, evil POS president sides with other evil-doers and is incapable of trying, even a little bit, to downplay what an evil POS he is.

Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul is exactly what boxing needs
Joshua vs. Paul represents the final chapter of boxing's most unserious era and should serve as a hard reset for the sport, writes Eric Raskin.

When I asked Jimmy Lange how he felt about "The Contender" as a TV show, he started with an analogy about "Stairway to Heaven."

Jimmy Lange keeps it real about ‘The Contender’
Lange isn't a fan of reality TV, but the contestant on the first season of "The Contender" is grateful for his experience on the show and what it meant for his career.
