Little Man is sick of photog's interrupting nap time

It takes gumption and yet stupidity, and a few extra-large post-it notes, to edit your candidate's lawn sign on an off-election year.

Little Man Hates Voting

Actually, he just hates paper. Don't forget to check that you're registered to vote this Tuesday, November 4, 2008 -- this one is kind of a big deal.

When will boxing embrace the instant replay?

The cut on Judah that ended the fight was clearly from a punch, not a headbutt. I'm claiming victory, which puts it as three wins and one very very very big loss.

Holy fuckin' shit

I flip over from Showtime in time to see a replay of Cotto getting his ass beat but good. Two minutes into the 11th, wow. I still can't wait to see the fight, even if it ends with Cotto having the face of a beaten, beaten man.

Now that was weird.

How the hell can a boxing glove cut a forehead like that? DOES NOT COMPUTE. Then again, Showtime boxing should be famous for fights ending early due to bizarre accidents in the ring, but it has been a while. I'm claiming this one as a win for my prognostications, regardless.

Saturday Boxing predictions

Let's see how wrong I can call them this time -- I'll say that Dirrell beats Pascal on the scorecards in a fight only slightly less boring than the Hanshaw fight, Darchinian will KO whatshisface early, Clottey will KO Judah in a late round and Cotto beat Margarito last weekend. I'm very pleased that I actually made it the whole week since their showdown without having it spoiled for me .... Despite the best efforts of Teddy Atlas and the douchebags at ESPN'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT FIGHTS.
