Recently a Sports BBQ fan asked about boxing and whether the BBQ would ever chat about it. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the sport. However, there was a match recently that's worth talking about.
Here's what you can chat about:
> Roy Jones, Jr. is a legendary boxer. He's won championships in four different weight class divisions.
> He's 40 years old and is still fighting at a time when a lot of boxers have hung up their gloves.
> However, he suffered a crushing and somewhat surprising defeat the other night when he was going against Danny Green. Jones was in search of a title in a 5th weight division.
> Green needed only 122 SECONDS to beat Jones. In boxing, each round is 3 minutes long so Green handled Jones in just over 2 minutes.
> It was a TKO = Technical Knock Out. The referee jumped in to stop the fight. Jones wasn't knocked out cold but the ref determined that the fight needed to be stopped after Green landed a punch to Jones' head and then followed with more pummeling.
That's the pugilistic scoop today. Talk it up and enjoy!

Some good service here at the BBQ. Next request: visuals! To start off on a random note, here's a vintage "NBA on CBS" intro:

Possible topics of conversation: who is/was the best commentator for the non-sports fan on TV?
Welcome back, friend! You've been playing opossum for a couple of days!
Indeed, visuals are needed and I need to check in with my IT person on this. Sometimes I end up in the weeds at the BBQ b/c I'm a big believer in great customer service.
Thanks for the topic idea.
