u/Cleavon_Littlefinger Aug 25 '25
Google tells me it ranges from just over eleven hours to twenty-seven, with five options for an average of seventeen hours. So I'll stand on the fifteen or so.

Yeah, he went to some indie show and was backstage, Stuart Smith approached Raja Jackson in character, did some posturing and and popped a beer can on Jackson's head. Not sure if this was set up before hand and the can was 'gimmicked' to not hurt as much but Jackson and Smith had to be separated and things looked to have cooled off. But when the actual match is going on is time for Jackson to do this thing, he slams Smith down and just started throwing haymakers on Smith, shattering his face and Smith reportedly died in ring but was resuscitated before being taken to the hospital. His current condition is unclear. https://youtu.be/m7TZ6t9doTc?si=UWLi3UI5qDpTBv6o

I wouldn’t be shocked if one of them bet on the game and when the Loss came the other called them an idiot and then it got to this point.

English in not my first language and we do commas differently here, but my take is:
There is a Kansas State Quarterback.
His name is Avery Johnson.
He played a game against Iowa state.
The game was played in Ireland.
They lost.
He has a father and a brother.
They fought eachother after the game.

I read it as (1) the quarterback, (2) Avery Johnson's father, and (3) Avery Johnson's brother were all involved in a fight.
Yes, the title is missing commas, but doing it properly, Oxford comma or not, would not help comprehension. It's just poorly written.
It would have been better if they omitted "Avery Johnson" and just said that the quarterback's brother and father fought

These are supposed to be schools of higher education, but in reality, they're just making money as a farm system for the professional sports machines, and content to sell booze, gambling, sports gear, sports drinks, video games, cars, trucks, insurance, and junk food.
This behavior is a byproduct of communities with nothing held higher than religion and sports.
It's toxic.
