Like the Superbowl, World Series, NBA Finals, and NCAA Tournament? Most people never watch seasonal games of any of these sports.

Why? To have a reason to get drunk?

I never understood it. Like when it is 110 degrees outside , people start jogging. Never jog at 70 or 80 degrees.

So how many of you will watch Superbowl , but not even watched one complete NFL game this year?

We've been assured she will make it to Vegas in plenty of time, but should the game be delayed just in case she needs more time to get there?

Super Bowl LVIII takes place in Paradise, Nevada at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, February 11th, 2024.

On the first day of the 2023-2024 NFL Regular Season, I predicted the San Francisco 49ers would defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 in Super Bowl LVIII. I wish I would have put money on it. I'm also rooting for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, since the Chiefs just won last year, and I loathe the Chiefs.

These two teams just played each other in Super Bowl LIV.

OK, hear me out. Boxing has been dying. Boxing has been dying. The Saudis are actually putting in really good fights with fewer BS. This is way more interesting and fun to watch. It also makes it feel more international, which is very good. The UFC hosts events all around the world, which is one of the reasons for its success.

Let me know your thoughts.

I'm rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Detroit Lions.

I loathe the Chiefs, but the Baltimore Ravens are my second-most hated NFL Team, so I'll hold my nose, and root for the Chiefs.

I'm rooting for the Lions to win the Super Bowl, so I obviously hope they advance to Super Bowl LVIII by beating the San Francisco 49ers.

Mike Tyson and Sonny Liston both came out of poverty and despair…

Michael Gerard Tyson was born in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York City on June 30, 1966. Tyson's mother Virginia was described as a substance abuser who might have been a prostitute. On his birth certificate Tyson's biological father is listed as Purcell Tyson, but the man Tyson believed was his father was a pimp named Jimmy Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick abandoned the Tyson family around the time Mike was born. Mike, his brother, sister and mother lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant until a move to Brownsville came from poverty when Tyson was 10 years old.

Growing up in Brownsville was…terrible. Mike described what that neighborhood was like:

“It’s bad stuff, it’s really bad stuff, people tying people up and doing bad things to ‘em over drugs and stuff. To their family members, just real bad stuff that you don’t even want to mention … Anything you can think of someone did to abuse a human being, they did it there.”

Tyson was effectively abandoned as a child, and was on his own on the streets at 13. Indeed, by 13 Tyson had been arrested 38 times, and finally, Mike was sentenced to the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile prison, in Johnstown, New York.

Sonny Liston was whipped and used as a farm mule by his father. This would cause him to not have a good education. When he left the farm, he tried to go to school. But, he looked like an adult by 10 years old. Bullied for looking like a old man. Due to not performing well in school, he went to the mafia. Being a criminal, he gained everything he needed. He also got arrested and he enjoyed prison. The fact is that the first 10 years of his life were a nightmare. It caused mental scars that would soon lead Liston down a dark path.
