Ali was a smarter fighter. And maybe quicker. But I think Tyson would whip him. One solid upper cut and it'd be over. And THAT is a debate that will never be settled. Quote Link to comment

One solid upper cut and it'd be over. And THAT is a debate that will never be settled. That's a really good argument, though. As quick as Ali was, that left hook by Tyson was just an eyeblink and completely devastating. Ali would have to move and move and move and move, which he could do, and pepper Tyson with jabs for ten rounds, all while never making a mistake. And he could do all that. But one mistake, and Tyson would land one of those amazing shots, and it could be over. Quote Link to comment

Suicide by gunshot ... 42. Nutritional deficiencies ... 47. HIV ... 50. Anemia ======================================= Who would've thought way more people die from accidental falls than from HIV. :shrug: Wow. I knew heart disease was the leading killer but I didn’t know it was 4x the next most common cause. Cancer might give it a challenge if they didn’t have them all separated by type. BTW, falls being more common than HIV does not surprise me 1 Quote Link to comment

That's the quickest way to success in the NFL: draft a great QB and win while he's on his rookie contract. Once you have to start paying him more (and, thus, have less to pay everyone else), it gets a lot harder. 1 Quote Link to comment

Then he'll zoom past the 30 guys ahead of him. Realistically, he'll probly get a new contract even sooner than that. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 California may stop school fitness tests over fears they lead to bullying and body-shaming By Alicia Lee, CNN Updated 1:58 PM ET, Thu February 6, 2020 (CNN)Push-ups, curl-ups and the dreaded one-mile run are a staple of childhood in US schools. But California may put a stop to the tests. California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed suspending the physical fitness tests at the state's schools over concerns that they promote bullying and body discrimination. LINK ===================================================================== Heh. I guess that's one way of addressing the problem. Quote Link to comment
