I tuned into Garcia vs Barrios tonight and kept thinking how messy the sport has become. I know Ryan was an interim champ, he lost to Rolly Romero and even served a one year drug ban, yet here he is fighting for the full WBC belt while Barrios comes in off two draws, one against a 46 year old Pacquiao, which says a lot about matchmaking and standards these days. I also found out Conor Benn just jumped to Zuffa, which could wipe out his WBC mandatory status since Zuffa wants to move away from the old belt system, so...
I was digging through potential offseason moves and the thought of Vegas selling the No. 1 pick to the Jets, sliding to No. 2 to grab a blue-chip edge like Rueben Bain Jr., then flipping Maxx Crosby actually makes weird sense... build the roster around a new pass-rusher and stockpile picks, instead of gambling on one rookie QB, right? I found out Crosby told Tom Brady he won't play for the Raiders again, yet Klint Kubiak keeps saying he wants him , classic friction, who do you trust? The Rams feel like the perfect landing spot, they were two plays...
