The rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier is often seen as one of the most iconic in sports history. How did their three epic bouts particularly the "Fight of the Century" and "Thriller in Manila" transform the landscape of boxing? Beyond their personal animosity, what impact did this rivalry have on the sport in terms of public perception, commercial appeal, and future athlete rivalries? Would boxing have evolved the same way without these two legends pushing each other to new heights?

I’ve been watching a lot of sports documentaries lately, and do they change your perception of athletes? I find that sometimes they humanize them, showing the struggles behind the scenes, but other times they just reinforce the "superhero" image. Do these documentaries make you see athletes differently, or do they just confirm what you already knew?

We’ve all wondered about the major turning points in sports that could’ve changed everything. Whether it's an injury that derailed a career, a trade that never happened, or a key play that could've altered a championship outcome, these moments often leave us asking "what if?" What’s your personal pick for the biggest “what if” in sports history and how do you think it would’ve affected the sport today?

It feels like nowadays the music industry puts so much emphasis on an artist's image and personal brand, sometimes overshadowing their actual musical talent. From social media presence to public personas, it seems like having a strong image can be more important than being a skilled musician or songwriter. Do you think this is true? Are we losing out on genuine musical talent in favor of marketability?

I’ve been thinking about how different the vibe is between acoustic solo sets and full band performances. Acoustic shows often feel more intimate, raw, and personal, while full band gigs bring energy and a richer sound. What do you all prefer? Do you think one style connects better with the audience, or is it all about the artist and the music?

Rock has so many unique subgenres - grunge, classic rock, hard rock, metal, punk, and more. Each one has its own vibe, energy, and history. Whether you love the gritty edge of grunge, the timeless anthems of classic rock, or the raw power of hard rock, what's your favorite subgenre? And what is it about that style that resonates with you the most?

When it comes to music, do you find yourself gravitating toward songs that are more open-ended, allowing you to interpret them in your own way, or do you prefer ones with clear, straightforward narratives that guide your understanding? Which type do you think has more emotional impact, and why?

Classical music has so many brilliant composers, but everyone seems to have their personal favorite. Whether it’s Beethoven’s grand symphonies, Mozart’s timeless operas, or Bach’s intricate fugues, each composer has a unique style. Who stands out to you and why? Do you connect to their music on a personal level, or is it their innovative techniques that draw you in?

If you had the ultimate freedom to own any type of business, what would it be? Would you go for something creative like a game studio or a unique restaurant? Maybe you'd build a tech empire, or focus on a sustainable venture? Share your dream business and why you’d choose it! What kind of impact would you want to make, and what makes it the perfect fit for you?

Here’s a fun one: Did you know that octopuses have three hearts? Two pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. And when they swim, the heart that delivers blood to the body actually stops beating. Totally random, but it makes you think about how weird and wonderful the animal kingdom is. What’s your random fact that blows people’s minds?

If you had to choose, would you rather receive a gift that you absolutely love, but might not use often, or a gift that’s super useful but doesn’t excite you as much? Which one holds more value to you - something that sparks joy, or something that makes life easier, even if it’s less thrilling?

I’ve always found that I learn best by seeing things - whether it’s diagrams, charts, observation, or reading through instructions. But I know a lot of people who are more auditory learners and absorb info better through listening. Do you prefer to watch or listen when learning something new? What kind of learning materials or methods work best for you?

If you had to choose, would you prefer a life filled with constant challenges that push you to grow, adapt, and improve albeit with stress and setbacks? Or would you rather stay in your comfort zone, where things are stable and predictable, but possibly less exciting or fulfilling? Which approach do you think is ultimately better for personal growth and happiness?

I have to agree. Some things in life happen because you just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

It's difficult to say because he has a hell of a job on his hands. There's the whole Rashford situation which they need to get rid of that guy because he's one of the main culprits that's always getting managers sacked.

Honestly, I haven't been keeping up with the boxing scene since the year started so I couldn't say.

That whole event was rigged. Jake Paul made 40m, Mike made 20m and Netflix got lots of viewership from that event so they all went away satisfied.

Yeah and he has a good amount of air time as well.

Up until the more recent GTA games, you'd drown if your character ever fell into the water.

I'd say Socom for the PS2 was a very good military simulation game. The movement and everything was for the most part very identical to real combat situations.

I'd have to go with the Witcher 3 as well. A good amount of those side quest add quite a bit of lore to the story.

I agree with you about Omori. The blend of mental health themes and the personal loss that ties into the narrative is really emotional. I also think Amnesia: The Dark Descent hits some really sad notes too, especially with the protagonist's backstory and the emotional toll of his journey. It's not just about the scares but the regret and the weight of past actions.

Thanks - I don't know how I missed it. I'm normally here most of the time.
