When I was in college, I was very briefly in a band. The sum total of our accomplishments was playing three open mics and recording a cover of Cake’s cover of “I Will Survive,” because that was the only song I could hit the notes for (that means I can’t sing for shit, if you […]

I think a lot about retirement. I’m not yet of an age that anyone other than my teenagers would consider “old,” but it occurs to me now and then that I’m closer to the end than to the beginning. I get tired. Most days, I possess neither the optimal levels of energy nor give-a-shit. The […]

One of the only assurances in this life is that there are no assurances. Plan all you want but, the universe gets its kicks reminding you who’s actually in charge. If the weatherman says 80 and sunny, prepare to be scraping ice off the windshield of your Ford Fiesta. If your friend says to meet […]

At least this kind of Broner ensures we get solid action. Broner won a […]

Radivoje Kalajdzic deserved to leave the ring Saturday after getting his hand held up by the referee. Instead, the institution-backed guy — U.S. Olympian light heavyweight Marcus Browne — walked away the victor in their NBC-televised bout. First, it took a bunk 1st round knockdown for Browne to even get the win, because otherwise he […]

Like Andre Berto’s weird muscle gut, the week’s boxing schedule is bloated. And not only because of Berto’s fight with boxing’s biggest star, Floyd Mayweather on Showtime Pay-Per-View Saturday. As is often the case in the week of a big fight (if you can call Mayweather/Berto a big fight), there are plenty of other cards on as […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A feisty and energetic 1st round saw Paulie Malignaggi bleeding early and vaseline slung from Shawn Porter’s face. A little wild and frenetic, both men opened up early and found success in an entertaining bout. In round 2 the two welterweights fought on even terms, but the latter’s punches were doing more damage.
