Being an old guy involved with fight sports (muay thai & boxing) for over 20 years, I can't shake the feeling that this weekend won't go well for Tyson. His last 2 fights were not stellar. I hope I'm wrong. But the game has told me to pick with my head and not my heart.

Really impressed with Powell, the fed chief saying he’ll stay on in spite of people calling for him to step down. I’m still a bit nervous about people who say market crashes are a good thing. Guess I’ve watched too many “buy gold now” commercials.
