      I Think so Rob, for this Boss Hog anyway and I suspect Wizard knows that.

      Always prepared to take a "Wiz" off the back of my transom while in International waters and anywhere in the state of Nebraska for that matter too.

        Sorry Ladies: Bobby Riggs Threw His Match Against Billie Jean King -
        http://freebeacon.com/blog/sorry-ladies-bobby-riggs-threw-his-match-against-billie-jean-king/
        A few months back, when I was swatting away the absolutely absurd notion that Brittney Griner could play in the NBA, I snarked, "Then again, Billie Jean King did beat a 55-year-old former pro that one time, so maybe Griner will totes fit into the NBA." But even that bit of credit was unwarranted, apparently. Because it turns out the infamous battle of the sexes—in which the 30-year-old King routed the 55-year-old Bobby Riggs—wasn't a legit match. Allegedly, the fix was in:

            I think it's interesting. And while I'm not a gambler, I think it's a good reminder of the importance of sports -- even exhibition matches -- deriving their legitimacy from being genuine contests, and not things controlled behind the scenes. Legitimacy is a really important issue for me.

              It's such a remote and unsubstantiated blurb though for an event from 40 years ago.

                I thought it was common knowledge that Riggs threw the match. The reason I usually hear is because he was a strong supporter of women's lib and wanted to help further the cause. I also didn't know that he trounced Margaret Court a few months earlier.

                  I knew about the Margret Court match, I was 13 at the time. My question is more the timing of this being released now. What's the motive for this release?

                    I have the vids hosted at Photobucket.
                    You should be able to just paste the link here and it will automatically embed the video. Photobucket videos are one of the many auto-parsed links the forum software handles (like YouTube).

                      My guess is that some of the mobsters who would have killed the guy who supposedly overheard the conversation in which Riggs was told to throw the match are now dead. Definitely the rumour has been out there.

                        The whole idea of it was stupid. It might have made for a good spectacle at the time, but trying to extrapolate anything about gender from that one match is something so retarded even Dave Brandon wouldn't do it

                        ...probably.

                            Former Patriots player Aaron Hernandez might have been one of the NFL's all-time greats, but he could never escape drugs, guns and a life of violence.
