Don Drysdale. There's been some great Jews in baseball.

Wow you didn’t go with the default answer of Koufax.

 

[Strings]

I think Kevin Youkilis is Jewish.
I've never seen him in the locker room so I'm not 100%.

I may even be wrong I was thinking of Koufax, early LA Dodgers.

I'll just trade out your gravies then.

Hank Greenberg. Mark Spitz.

Astros take game 1

 

[Strings]

5-2 bottom of the 6th.
Sox just squeaked out of a bases loaded jam.

 

[Strings]

Good grief again.

[Strings]

Sox up 1 game to none best of 5

 

[Strings]

Another game tonight, Nukes.
My nerves can't take it.

 

[Strings]

Well, this one isn't looking good.
Didn't want to head to NY 1-1 but it's better than 0-2

Anyone see Connor McGregor get smeshed?

That guy comes off as a total bitch.

That guy comes off as a total bitch.

And he was made to look even more like a bitch in that fight.

Just proves he got luckily with Aldo and rode his own hype wave the rest of the way. He’s a prime example why I lost most interest in MMA. Not him specifically but how they started booking fights off of hype and made up BS vs who actually deserved the fight. It went from a legitimate sport with real fucking sponsors and real TV time to some borderline WWE style story lines and pure sports entertainment.

Poor cheating Connor. Illegal knees, fence grabbing, glove grabbing, and he still had to tap out. Love it.

I was thinking exactly this. Everything about that fight last night seemed like a WWE match.

I agree completely. I have lost interest too. I gave up on running fightsforum, and now only watch fights that interest me. Today I don't even know have the roster. Whereas before, I could tell you that records of any fighter on the roster.

However, McGregor is a legit fighter who poses a serious threat to anyone. He knocked out Aldo with his signature left hook. He also made Alvarez look amateurish. He's a legit top level fighter. Khabib is just one of the greatest fighters to ever have stepped in the octagon.
