If what I just looked up is correct, there hasn't been a championship bout between 2 white dudes since the late 1950s.


I mean, the Klitschkos defended/took various pieces of the heavyweight championship against white dudes. So, I doubt that's correct.

Wladimir defeated Axel Schultz, retaining the WBA Intercontinental. He also beat Francois Botha, retaining the WBO. He won the vacant WBA Intercontinental back from Argentine Fabio Boli. Also, his fights with Ibragimov, Chagaev, Pulev, among others, were all international/world championship fights, and so on.
Reverend Al has a relatively long (almost 60 year) history of involvement in boxing.

How is that different?

I have heard of them but couldn't tell you the name of one of their songs with a gun to my head.


The 4 big hits off the debut album, Shake Your Moneymaker (and really launched them) were Jealous Again, Hard to Handle (an Otis Redding cover), Twice as Hard and She Talks to Angels.

Off of the follow up, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (which was a #1 album), Remedy was a monster hit, then Thorn in My Pride and Sting Me.

Like a lot of bands, they kind of faded starting with their 3rd album, Amorica, but even after the Robinsons fired everyone except Steve, they delivered a Top 5 album, Warpaint, in 2008, fully 18 years after Shake Your Moneymaker, but most casual fans won't remember anything after those first 2 monster albums.


Well, to be more accurate it was:

"The Robinson Brothers present an evening with the music of The Black Crowes" were booed for dissing a crowd chanting "USA."

(Just FTR)


I mean, can you have the Crowes, really, without Jeff Cease? Maybe. Without Jeff, Steve, Johnny or Eddie (of course Eddie's gone)? So no one but the Robinsons from the first SIX albums?

That's why Nola.com likes them. They're comfortable with corruption. Corruption and New Orleans go together like pork and rice.

“well regulated.”


"Well regulated" and "militia", in context of the late 18th Century, meant that the militia units drilled and practiced regularly so they could function as a unit.

It wasn't specifying a requirement, it was explaining just what the hell they meant by "militia". A group of citizens ready, willing and able to defend themselves and their community.

Period. Full stop.

Hiring coach O was a great move and a steal for 100 k.


The only downside to O is all the baggage. He was an elite recruiter (at least in the old system) and remains an outstanding defensive line coach.
This is sort of a "two parts Beto O'Rourke, one part Pete Buttigieg, with a splash of Tim Waltz".

better go find about 5 Skenes in the portal.


You know, since it is coming up on the big 30 this year, the 1996 roster had Eddy Furniss, Warren Morris and Jason Williams in the same infield at times.

Yarnall, Coogan and Laxton were on the staff. Just insane in hindsight when one considers it might have been Skip's 3rd best team to win it all.

:lol:

(In all seriousness, just 1 Skenes would be nice, right?)

Something tells me if she was in Charleston, she wouldn't be a Tim Scott voter.

Or in Florida, she wouldn't be a Byron Donalds voter.

Just imagine what would happen if a public school principal said, "Wear a cross to school" or "Bring a Bible to school".

Just f*cking imagine that...
