The B-side will be available only on Patreon, where we discuss the economics and limitations of streaming services for sports, the WWE business model, the MMA business model, Wrestlemania, the rise of Becky Lynch,...

How would history read if it wasn't from the grand narrative of those in power, but just as it happened? Including all the warts. And since there are so many books that highlight the grand narrative, then we don't need a repeat of what we already know. What we might then need to balance out all that we think we already know is a book that highlights all the warts. And that's exactly what "A People's History of the United States" (https://amzn.to/2RcWRiQ) by Howard Zinn sets out to do. This...

We study Derrick Lewis vs. Junior dos Santos—what went right, what went wrong, and what can we learn about MMA tactics. Then we discuss a fantasy match up between Jon Jones vs. JDS, how Jon Jones would do as a heavyweight, why great fighters cheat, and how being a champion or GOAT in a division says as much about the division as it does about the fighter. This is MMA intellectualism. If you like the stuff we're putting out, support Southpaw on Patreon:...
