WATCH: Dana White Holds His Ground After Mayweather Sneers At His $25 Million Offer To Box Conor McGregor

After Dana White offered Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor $25 million apiece to box one another, it didn’t take long for the 49-0 boxing legend to dismiss the offer.



Just when it seemed like we were finally getting close to making this dream fight a reality, Mayweather quickly laughed off the offer and called the UFC president a f**king comedian. The man they call “Money” earlier this week suggested that he should receive $100 million for the fight and McGregor should get only $15 million with each .

Here’s the video of Mayweather laughing off White’s proposal, courtesy of TMZ:

Soon after, White held his ground and defended his proposalin a video also on TMZ. After restating why he thought the offer was fair, White insinuated that the problem wasn’t with the offer but rather the boxer’s lavish spending habits. He then mockingly warned Mayweather that tax day is approaching.

While their combative tones aren’t encouraging, the fact that they’re going back and forth at all is certainly a positive development. White knows that him firing shots at Mayweather now will only increase interest for his fight with McGregor if they ever reach an agreement.

If this fight ever actually happens, Mayweather will probably earn closer to the $25 million White offered than the $100 million he suggested. But as he showed with the Pacquiao fight, Mayweather is never in a hurry while negotiating and will hope that White blinks first.

I had always been under the impression that this fight would never happen, but there’s just too much money on the table for everyone involved for them not to at least consider it.

Floyd will almost certainly soundly beat McGregor, but people will respect Conor for having the balls to venture into boxing against one of the all-time greatest practitioners of the sweet science. McGregor didn’t lose credibility for losing to the bigger Nate Diaz, and similarly wouldn’t be criticized too harshly if he inevitably loses to Mayweather in a boxing ring. Not only will a fight with Mayweather raise McGregor’s already enormous profile, but a $25 million payday is more than he could earn against any opponent in the octagon.

And for Floyd it would be a massive payday for an easy night at the office.

 

Maybe I’m deluding myself, but I really am starting to think this fight will happen. Eventually.

 

 


That Was Quick: The LA Chargers Have Already Bailed On Their Much-Maligned Knockoff Dodger Logo

Because apparently the Rams didn’t make it clear enough that fair-weather Los Angeles fans want no part of a bad NFL team, the Chargers are on their way to LA.

And the announcement on Thursday was accompanied with the unveiling of one of the most pathetic logos in the history of professional sports.

Talk about putting the L in LA.

Nobody in the world is luckier than the graphic designer who actually got paid for this blatant ripoff. Unsurprisingly, the new logo was eviscerated by just about every single person on Earth with a Twitter account. This led to the Chargers immediately dubiously swearing that that wasn’t actually their new logo.



Yesterday the Chargers even changed the color pattern of the logo from the Dodgers royal blue and white to their familiar powder blue and yellow. While it was definitely an improvement, at that point they weren’t fooling anybody.

And last night, the Chargers had the fourth logo in less than 36 hours. Now it’s basically just their old logo with a slight Los Angeles makeover. It remains to be seen if that’ll be their logo next season or if this is yet another placeholder until they actually find an adequate graphic designer.

While this whole thing is obviously an embarrassing botch, I guess it’s better to suffer a few days of internet scorn than to stubbornly stick with an albatross of a logo for their first few decades in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

WATCH: HBO Dropped A Teaser For Its Upcoming Bernie Madoff Movie ‘The Wizard of Lies’ Starring Robert De Niro

screen-shot-2017-01-14-at-2-40-34-pm

HBO today released the first teaser for its Bernie Madoff-based flick The Wizard of Lies and, as we’ve come to expect from the prestige network, the production values look off-the charts.

Robert De Niro seems like the perfect actor to capture the nuance of the sociopathic perpetrator of the most expansive and expensive ponzi scheme in history. Likewise, getting Michelle Pfeiffer to play Bernie’s wife, Ruth Madoff, was another enlightened casting decision.

The movie is directed by another Hollywood staple, Barry Levinson, who is perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning direction of Rain Man.

The Wizard of Lies is based on New York Times reporter Diana B. Henriques’s book by the same name about Madoff’s transgressions. Henriques appears as herself in the adaptation.

Though you can only glean so much from such a short teaser, with the extraordinary track records of both HBO and the people involved in this project, we have high hopes for this one. It seems like a lock that The Wizard of Lies will usurp ABC’s entertaining but superficial 2016 miniseries Madoff as the definitive television chronicle of the Bernie Madoff’s deceit.

We’ll find out for sure when it comes to HBO in May.

In this late night West Coast Conference showdown, the Saint Mary’s Gaels will travel to Spokane to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs. There will be contrasting styles of play in tonight’s game, as Gonzaga can light up the scoreboard and St. Mary’s takes pride in their defense. Gonzaga currently ranks 15th in the country in scoring with an average of 86.0 points per game, while St. Mary’s holds their opponents to just 56.6 points per game (2nd in the country). Something’s gotta give!

As terrific as Saint Mary’s has been this season, they might be in a bit over their heads. Even though they are ranked #21 in the country, 15-1 overall, and 5-0 in conference play, they still haven’t played a ranked team yet. It would be a big-time upset if they were able to beat Gonzaga on the road.

After Baylor got whipped by West Virginia on Tuesday, Gonzaga (16-0, 4-0 WCC) became the only undefeated team left in college basketball. The #5 ranked Bulldogs look poised for a deep March run, as they are absolutely loaded with talent. Gonzaga has played a much tougher schedule than St. Mary’s up to this point, going 2-0 against ranked opponents.

Now that you know a little bit about the matchup, let’s break down all of the ways you can watch the game.

Patriots vs. Texans: Live Stream: How To Watch AFC Divisional Round Online

I won’t even try to sugar coat this, this is the only game I’m not looking forward to this weekend. The Houston Texans are traveling up to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots and I don’t give them much of a chance of winning. The two teams played earlier this year, and the Pats beat up on the Texans 27-0, and that was with third-string quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Now Tom Brady is back, and he’s looking to win a fifth Lombardi Trophy, and the chance to shove it down Roger Goodall’s throat.

The freaking Patriots, man, when is their run going to be over already? The Pats went 14-2 this season, and with the exception of a loss to the Seahawks, pretty much went untested all year. Tom Brady continues to dominate the league, Bill Belichick is still the best coach, and they’re most likely going to waltz all the way to the AFC Championship Game, and most likely the Super Bowl. They will be without tight end Rob Gronkowski who is out for the rest of the season undergoing back surgery, but even then I still like the Pats’ chances to (probably) get to the Super Bowl.

After getting benched late in the season, quarterback Brock Osweiler returned last week for their Wild Card matchup against the Raiders and looked as good as he did all season in a winning effort. Given, the Raiders were without Derek Carr and their defense kind of sucks, but nonetheless, it was the best he’s looked all season. What Houston has going for them is that their defense was the best in the league this year, and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has been an absolute monster. As the old saying goes, “If you want to beat to Patriots, you have to get to Tom Brady,” and that stands true today. Clowney and others will have to get to Brady if they want any chance at pulling off the upset, but I don’t see it happening.

I’ll still watch this game because I’m a football fan, but I’m preparing for the Patriots’ inventible blowout victory.

WATCH: This Amusing ‘Pokemon’ Simulation of A Mayweather-McGregor Fight Is Totally On Point

While Dana White and Floyd Mayweather have very different ideas of how big Mayweather’s paycheck would be if he fights Conor McGregor, the fact that all parties involved are now publicly trying to make the superfight happen is a promising sign.



Conventional wisdom is that if the two combat sports icons ever tangle in a boxing ring, Mayweather will put on a boxing clinic and easily dispose of the boxing newbie McGregor.

The folks over at The Score put together this ‘Pokemon’ game boy simulation video, and it’s both hilarious and almost certainly how the fight would go.

The only disparity between the simulation and an actual fight is the part when Floyd earns $300,000,000. At least Dana White hopes so.

WATCH: Human Feces Martin Shkreli Gets Dog Feces Flung At Him During UC Davis Protest

On Friday night, UC Davis was the latest university to cancel a planned speaking engagement by controversial right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on his “Dangerous Faggot” tour. The event was shut down as a result of the predictable protests of the events causing so much ruckus that the College Republicans who organized the event felt it would be unsafe for the event to go on.

Because Yiannopolous is basically a walking outrage magnet, he had also scheduled for pharma-bro Martin Shkreli- perhaps the most hated in the world- to speak at the event. Yiannopolous never showed up at all, but Shkreli irked the protesters with his mere presence.

For what it’s worth, Shkreli said he was going to try to combat Yiannopolous’s hostility toward feminism.

As an expression of his gratitude toward Shkreli for coming to campus, one protester nailed him with what is apparently dog sh*t.

 

As hilariously savage as this video is, in Shkreli’s twisted mind evoking this type of visceral reaction from someone is probably one of the best accomplishments in his trolling career.

Anyway, all this liberal outrage does is increase these douchebags’ influence among the types of people who are inclined to listen to them anyway.  Plus these types of protests just further Yiannopolous’s shtick, which is centered on the idea political correctness leads to the suppression of free speech.

And ultimately these trolls are getting more famous, influential and rich as a result of all the hubbub surrounding them.

So while it may be extremely difficult, the best thing to do is ignore these attention whores. Because if it weren’t for all the controversy surrounding them, nobody would care about these losers.

Or just forget all that and keep pelting them with dog sh*t until they’re afraid to leave the house. That would certainly provide me with some more great content, at least.

Ex-DirectTV Pitchman Rob Lowe Put DirecTV On Blast

What’s the first thing you think of when you think of Rob Lowe?

The guy has been in countless TV shows and movies over the years, and he even has a sex tape, but if you’re like me and I’m guessing the far majority of people then the first thing you think of are his DirecTV commercials.

“I’m Rob Lowe and I have DirecTV.”

“And I’m ______ Rob Lowe and I have cable.”

You remember those commercials. They used to play them approximately 2467 times during every NFL game. And they were pretty funny every time.

I’d argue that those commercials were responsible for Lowe’s mini career revival of late which included a starring role in the cancelled Fox sitcom The Grinder and being the guest of honor at the most recent Comedy Central Roast. 

But apparently after the success of those ads, the man who played Super Creepy Rob Lowe today put the company on blast after being unable to watch the NFL Playoffs on Fox.

This is the most shocking betrayal by a pitchman since the “Can You Hear Me Now?” guy started showing up in his first Sprint commercial.

According to The Big Lead, Lowe might be one of the many Americans who find themselves caught in the middle of a carriage dispute involving DirecTV:

Presently, DirecTV is embroiled in a carriage dispute with News-Press & Gazette Company, a Missouri-based media conglomerate that owns local channel affiliates in ten different markets, including the Fox affiliates in Palm Springs, Ca,, Santa Barbara, Ca., Idaho Falls, Id., Columbia, Mo., St. Joseph, Mo., Bend, Or., and Yuma, Az.

Man, what a PR nightmare it would be for DirecTV if real-life Rob Lowe actually decided to switch to cable.

Georgia Salpa is one gorgeous glamour model. She has graced the covers of FHM from France to Indonesia to the Czech Republic. She was also on the cover of FHM‘s 2013 “100 sexiest women” issue. She might just be the epitome of sexy.

Salpa was born in Athens, Greece. At age five, she moved with her family to Dublin, Ireland. She took up modeling while still in secondary school. She isn’t a stranger to television either, appearing on shows like The Podge and Rodge Show, Republic of Telly, Celebrity Salon, and Catwalk to Kilimanjaro.

In 2012, Georgia moved to the United Kingdom. That year, she took part in the Celebrity Big Brother reality series. She didn’t last long on the show, as she was the third housemate evicted. However, that year proved to be very successful for Salpa’s modeling career. She was ranked 5th on FHM‘s “100 sexiest women” poll, which resulted in Ms. Salpa being featured more heavily for that publication.

Sorry, fellas. She’s taken! In May 2015, she married a millionaire hedge-fund manager by the name of Joe Penna. They’ve been living it up together, traveling to beautiful locations, such as Dubai and her home country of Greece.

Here are 29 photos of Georgia that are just too fine…

Chiefs vs. Steelers Live Stream: How To Watch AFC Divisional Round Online

One of the better games this weekend is a rematch between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. If you would have told me earlier this season that they were going to meet in the playoffs, I would have replied that this would essentially be a bye week for Pittsburgh. To be blunt, the Steelers beat the hell out of Kansas City earlier this year 43-14 in Pittsburgh, but the Chiefs are the home team this time around after winning the AFC West and getting a first round bye.

The Steelers had a fairly easy Wild Card weekend, beating the Miami Dolphins 30-12 in a game that was never in doubt. Their offense continued to look as good as they have all year, although quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot, although I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. The Steelers finished the regular season by winning their last seven games, and are playing as good as anyone right now. Although I like their chances this weekend, Arrowhead Stadium is one of the tougher places to play in the NFL, and the Chiefs have been playing great in the second half of the season. This game won’t be easy for Pittsburgh.

While both their offense and defense aren’t ranked highly according to statistics, the Chiefs have been playing as well as anyone else in the league as of late. The difference maker for Kansas City has been rookie wide receiver/special teamer/playmaker Tyreek Hill, who has given the Chiefs a spark plug that they were missing at the beginning of the season. Hill is definitely capable of giving the Steelers trouble on Sunday, but they’ll also need quarterback Alex Smith to make a few plays of his own if they want any chance at moving on to the AFC Championship Game. I don’t know if they’ll win on Sunday or not, but I do know that the Kansas City fans will be quite loud come game time.

Packers vs. Cowboys Live Stream: How To Watch NFC Divisional Round Online

Get your popcorn ready, because this is (hopefully) going to be the biggest game of the weekend. Two historic franchises face off as the Green Bay Packers travel to Jerry World to take on America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys. As good as the Cowboys have been this year, and they’ve been really good, there isn’t a player in the league right now as hot as Aaron Rodgers. Dallas had their way with Green Bay earlier this year as they beat them 30-16 at Lambeau Field, but the playoffs are a different animal, so we should be in store for a good one.

The Packers were sitting at 4-6 on the season through the first 10 games, and really showed no signs of promise, then Rodgers came out and said that he thinks the Pack can run the table, which is exactly what they did, and then went on to beat the Giants last week 38-13. I don’t think Rodgers has ever played this well. Over his last eight games, he’s thrown for 22 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, including three straight games throwing for four touchdowns. He may be without his favorite target Jordy Nelson, who broke two ribs last week, but with how well he’s been playing, it may not matter. The key for Green Bay to win will be their defense making some big plays against a juggernaut of a Dallas offense. Whether they’re capable of doing that or not remains to be seen.

As good as rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot have been for the Cowboys this year, the playoffs are far different from the regular season, and it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure. Fortunately for them, they play behind the best offensive line in football, which has been a huge reason for their success this season. For the Cowboys to move on to the NFC Championship, they’ll have to do what they’ve done all season and have long offensive drives that lead to touchdowns, which will keep Rodgers and the Packers offense off the field. I may hate the Cowboys with every fiber of my being, but I sure am excited for this game on Sunday.

In case there was any doubt that nobody in Los Angeles wanted the Chargers, the fans at last night’s Clippers-Lakers game at Staples Center united to express their resentment toward the move.

During a stop in the action, the Los Angeles Chargers logo was put on the jumbotron and was met with a resounding chorus of boos. Then Chargers tight end Jeff Cumberland was shown on the screen” and likewise got relentlessly booed- just for being a Charger- in an awkward “celebrity cam” appearance.

This continued what has been a week-long debacle for the Chargers after they befuddled everybody by moving from San Diego, their home for 56 years, to a city that clearly isn’t clamoring for another mediocre NFL team.

The Chargers became a punchline when, upon announcing the move, they unveiled a new logo that was clearly a ripoff of the Dodgers logo. They then proceeded to change their logo twice more in the next 36 hours, seemingly as a result of the predictable backlash.



You have to wonder if this reaction is giving Chargers owner Dean Spanos- who was also in the building last night- some serious second thoughts. Unfortunately for him, deals of this magnitude usually come with “n0 backsies”.

On the bright side for Spanos, imagine how much louder the boos would have been if the Chargers had put the ripoff of the Dodgers logo on the big screen. But otherwise, the Chargers move to Los Angeles already has all the makings of a complete flop.

WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka Has Died One Week After Having A Murder Charge Dropped

Fijian WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka died today at the age of 73 after a battle with stomach cancer.

The death evokes mixed feelings for many wrestling fans. Snuka was one of the most popular performers in what was then called the World Wrestling Federation during the 1980’s, but has been embroiled in real-life controversy including being arrested in September 2015 and charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in relation to the May 1983 death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino.

Snuka pleaded not guilty to the charges, and in June 2016 was deemed unfit to stand trial due to being diagnosed with dementia. In December his lawyer announced that he was terminally ill, and just last week the charge was dropped. While he was never convicted of any crime, a great deal of mystery still surrounds the mysterious death, and he is the only known suspect.

While his personal life is murky, there’s no ambiguity about Superfly’s excellence in the fing. He was a pioneer in the industry for his innovative high-flying style, which is now commonplace in wrestling. After debuting with the company in 1982, he continued to make sporadic appearances for the next several decades, last appearing on Raw in 2010.

Here’s video of Snuka’s most iconic moment, when at Madison Square Garden he did the unheard of and jumped from the top of a steel cage.

Snuka was inducted into the WWF (now WWE) Hall of Fame in 1996. His daughter Tamina has been a WWE performer since 2010.

One of HBO’s newest flagship series premieres tonight as Jude Law and Paolo Sorrentino’s The Young Pope begins its first season at 9:00 P.M. EST. In The Young Pope, Jude Law, who is British, plays Lenny Belardo, the first American-born pope. Pope Pius XIII begins the series as the newly elected Pope and former Archbishop of New York. His Chief Advisor, Sister Mary, is played by Academy Award winner Diane Keaton. Sister Mary is an American nun who raised Belardo and Cardinal Andrew Dussolier in an orphanage and has helped Lenny throughout his career. Sister Mary is appointed personal secretary to the Pope. Cardinal Andrew Dussolier, a missionary, Lenny’s longtime friend and a fellow orphan, is played by Scott Shepherd. Outside of that, not much is given about the plot of the Vatican-set satire. The series has already premiered overseas, so if you want to find spoilers, I’m sure you can.

The Young Pope has received widespread critical acclaim in England, Ireland, and Italy, so it’s reasonable to assume it will be a big hit in the United States as well. With a cast of award-winning actors, an acclaimed Italian writer and director, and a huge $50 million production budget, The Young Pope, which has already been renewed for a second season, is shaping up to be HBO’s next big hit.

The Young Pope Reviews

The Verge: “The Young Pope feels like going to Sunday mass high out of your mind.”

Rolling Stone: “Jude Law is the Tony Soprano of the Vatican in HBO’s new surreal surprise hit.”

Vanity Fair: “For a troubled nation, The Young Pope hits too close for comfort.”

NY Times: “The Young Pope is beautiful and ridiculous.”

Entertainment Weekly: “This is a surreal dark comedy that presents a pop-psych deconstruction of faith; an irreverent complaint about the silence of God, Christian witness, and idolatry of all kinds; a subversive allegory for the rise of alt-right orthodoxy; and a metaphor for inchoate Americanism as world religion.”

WATCH: This Biting Satire Explores John Lewis’s District In Light Of Trump’s Latest Bogus Claims

Yesterday President-elect Donald Trump called out congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis with a series of completely ridiculous tweets.

In case you haven’t yet noticed, Trump is far more concerned with reciprocity than reality. And that’s why a tyrant like Putin can say a few nice things about Trump, and Trump will act like he’s Jesus Christ reincarnated. And conversely when American hero John Lewis suggests his presidency is not legitimate then suddenly Lewis is “all talk, talk, talk”- despite him literally being one of the leaders who walked the walk from Selma to Birmingham not to mention getting arrested countless times for civil disobedience.

And I don’t even agree with John Lewis that Trump’s presidency is illegitimate due to the Russia hacks. Tainted, sure. But calling it illegitimate is to act like American voters didn’t ultimately have agency over their own votes.  And that wasn’t the case. But because I’m not an internet troll like our President-elect, I can disagree with Lewis without denigrating his extraordinary legacy.

For reference, here are Trump’s incendiary tweets:

As someone who went to Emory University in the 5th district of Georgia , it’s absurd to hear Trump try to paint the district as “in horrible shape”, “falling apart” and “crime infested”. Atlanta has some problems just like every city does, but for the most part it’s a great place to live. And of course it’s idiotic to to blame all of the district’s issues on its representative in the 435-person House.

But if you don’t believe me that the 5th district is not the hellhole Trump claims it to be, a brave soul named Annalise Kaylor did some brilliant investigative journalism to find out the truth.

The biting satire is an excellent repudiation of Trump’s latest distortions, which explains why  it’s already racked up over a quarter million views since it was posted to Facebook 21 hours ago.

This is just freaking wild.

As you can see in the video below, the roof of a Czech gym collapsed in the middle of a youth floor hockey game. Luckily due to the alertness of the game’s referee, tragedy was narrowly evaded.

Via Deadspin:

Pardubice Region governor Martin Netolicky wrote on Facebook that construction of the facility was “sloppy” and “irresponsible,” but thanked referee Jiří Němec “who reacted swiftly and ordered an immediate clearing the gym.”

Also according to Deadspin, the roof’s collapse was likely due to the weight of 16 inches of snow.

The Chicago Bulls will be invading Grizzly territory tonight. Will the Grizzlies be able to push back the Bulls? Well, let’s just look at the scoreboards. The Tennessee team has secured more victories than their opponents from Illinois. The Grizzlies are ranked #6 in the Western Conference, with 25 victories and 17 losses. Meanwhile, the Bulls are ranked #9 in the Eastern Conference, with 20 victories and 21 defeats. But the Bulls are one of the best teams in the NBA, when it comes to rebounding the ball. Can they rebound tonight with a victory against the Grizzlies?
