Everything&Nothing: A Collection of Thoughts

McGregor is setting his sights on returning to the UFC soon and he wants a shot at Karamu Usman's title and quite frankly I don't think he should get a shot at another title until he starts winning fights. McGregor has lost 3 of his last 4 fights and right now it just doesn't seem like a good matchup.  I know some people want to say that Conor broke his leg in his last fight and that shouldn't count, but let's be honest, the only reason he got the rematch against Dustin in the first place is because Conor is a big name. If hadn't built up his notoriety and whiskey brand, he would be just another guy fighting his way through the UFC and good on him for positioning himself so well, but at the end of the day I think he's on the decline.  His fight against an aged Cerrone was wildly unimpressive, he traded wins with Diaz, then got knocked out by Poirier, and then broke his leg in that rematch.

I played sports in recreation leagues as well as in high school and I played for the club team for a spell in college. I'm a competitive person and I believe in a 100% level playing field which is why I feel that these women were slighted by Lia Thomas winning a national championship in their sport.  Biologically speaking, when we talk about fair

Todd Kirkland, AP Ever since Kaepernick found himself bounced out of the league, his name seems to get thrown around every time a team needs a new quarterback and quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing his name. It's not that I can't appreciate what he did and the message he was trying to send, but the manner and timing of it was always my issue.  Right around the time he started kneeling during the national anthem, there was trouble in San Francisco. There were some rumblings about unhappiness in the locker room because the team wasn't doing well and ultimately Kaepernick would find himself benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert. Then there was the ignorant stuff he said about Fidel Castro which upset people, most notably, Kiko Alonso. Kiko Alonso was one of the Miami linebackers at the time and he wasn't shy about how he felt about what Kaepernick said and made it known that there was "bad blood" between the two because of it.  When Kaepernick started kneeling
