BLOOMINGTON -- And while I'm waiting ... I see where uber-boxer Floyd Mayweather is scheduled to take on some 7-foot freakazoid called "Big Show" in the next WWE Wrestlemania, reportedly for a cool $20 million.
Couple of thoughts about that.
1. Considering this is professional boxing we're talking about, I don't really think Mayweather is demeaning himself for a cheap sideshow. I mean, it's boxing vs. wrestling. That's pretty much a tie in the sideshow department.
2. If you think Mayweather's really gonna get $20 mill for this gig, I've got some nice oceanfront property in Nebraska you might want to look at. Lovely Pacific views, dirt cheap. Really.

Does anyone ever notice that 99% of Ben Smith's columns begin with one of the following words:
"And..."
"So..."
"Now..."
Kind of annoyingly repetitive and unoriginal...
