Crazy times

The past couple weeks in the world of sports has been crazy to say the least. Lets start with the boxing event that took place on Saturday. Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight. The card had some other silly fights on it including Youtube star Jake Paul fighting former NBA player Nate Robinson. FYI Robinson cant box. He got KTFO in the second round and i think still hasnt woken up yet. But coming off that win this dude Jake Paul thinks he is the next big thing in prize fighting. He decided to call out Connor Mcgregor. Seriously. This dude is a professional multi weight title holder and you think because you beat a never boxed before fighter now your ready for someone like Mcgregor?? Wow. The highlight of that whole thing is that Paul caught the eye and ear of some of hockey's biggest tough guys. Golden Knights resident enforcer Ryan Reeves took to twitter to call out Paul. Followed quickly by his current goalie Robin Lenher as well as San Jose Sharks tough man Evander Kane. There has been no word yet on weather or not Jake will accept a fight with any of them. But god I hope he does. The main event i think shocked more people then they anticipated. Mike Tyson who hasn't fought in 15 years looked like he never took a day off. He was quick, smooth and he hit with force and accuracy. Roy Jones Jr, Really thought it was just gonna be a fun little cash grab. Little did he know Tyson came to fight. I know tyson is older now but after what i saw, im confident in saying he could hold his own for a real fight one more time. 

Moving on to football. My god the Cowboys suck. How many different ways can one franchise find to lose. The media always gave the jets crap or the bengals or even the browns for being such poorly managed franchises. I think its time they take a long long look at the Dallas Cowboys. Just in the last few years, they have had Dez Bryant, Tony Romo, Ezikel Elliot and to an extent ill give them Dak Prescott even though i dont think hes great. But you have that kind of talent on offense and you cant make the playoffs? And now this season. Oh lord. Im starting to think Americas team needs to find a new nickname. Although it is perfect for 2020 so maybe let them keep it for one more month. 

Tom Brady. Thomas Edward Brady. The amount of talent he has around him in Tampa and yet he cant win a game. They have lost 3 of the last 4 and Brady has looked awful. Thats crazy because his group of recievers is basically just a pro bowl line up. Gronk, Evans, Brown, Godwin. Defenders of brady used to always say he did what he did with no one to throw too. Well what's the excuse now? There is talk of a rift with Bruce Ariens. I dont personally think its true i just think brady is starting to hit that wall. Dont count him or the Bucs out yet, they are still 7-5 and in a real good spot to make a deep run. I just thought with all the talent around him Brady would never have seen 5 losses.
