    Did you watch Tyson fight back in the day? Would you watch anyone else box?
    I don't know anyone that watched Sampras play tennis because of his greatness. Seriously.

    I watched boxing back when it was good regardless of if it was Tyson. He was exciting of course, but I was a boxing fan beyond that.

    It would be like me watching Pete Weber throwing around suck it motions bowling on ESPN on a Sunday.

    I know a bunch of people that watched Sampras and Agassi and zero other tennis. It's just common sense that te rating were higher when they played than when they didn't, right?

    I think I'm guilty of it, I'll watch Pacquiao or Floyd fight but that is it when it comes to boxing. If anyone else is fighting I find it excruciatingly boring more times than not. Same thing with Usain or Phelps.

    I know that it exists. I've never doubted that. I've only said I find it stupid.

    Never Crazy about Sampras. His game was boring as hell. Serve....point over...Serve...game over....Serve....set over....Serve...Match over. NOW Agassi.......different story...Lots of great offensive AND defensive shot making!

    The Wings really need to sweep the preds. My cousin is in advertising/marketing whatever for the Preds and she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Several 7 game series from Nashville are going to kill her...

    I don't care if the wings get bounced in the next round, but for the love of god sweep the preds...

    I'm pretty sure any defensive player's contract in general could be considered a "bounty".

    You think so? They aren't paid to hurt people.
