i know we've gotten eddie's side of things by virtue of him being a main character and shannon being a character in his story, but please for a second can we remember that before shannon's frontal lobe was finished developing she got pregnant, got married, lost her partner to the army without warning, went through a traumatizing birth, had her son diagnosed with cp, and had to deal with all of this in an in-law environment that was Less Than Ideal without a support system of her own separate from her husband
and then her mother got CANCER and was dying alone in another state and when shannon told her husband she wanted to move closer to her to take care of her he had the audacity to ask for TIME when her mother was DYING
and THEN after she made a horribly painful choice to leave her son so she could spend her mother's last months with her she finds out her husband moved to the very city she begged for them to move to bc of a job he could literally have Anywhere
shannon made some questionable choices i'm not saying she didn't but bestie no WONDER she wanted a divorce. the man she married was a stranger and the few concrete things she knew about him by s2 were not conducive to love. eddie was and is a great father but he was genuinely a horrible husband, and the fact that shannon could recognize that and choose herself is incredible to me.
edit: there is now a follow-up post about eddie

Jane Lynch is currently one of the busiest and hardest-working actresses in Hollywood and it has been that way for a while now. After making her big-screen debut in the 1988 body-swapping comedy Vice Versa, Lynch has accrued more than 215 film and TV credits.
RELATED: 10 Classic Glee Episodes Every Fan has Seen
She has earned Emmy and Golden Globe Awards for her seminal performance on the hit show Glee, and recently won a second Primetime Emmy for her guest-role on Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Lynch also won back-to-back Emmys for hosting the game-show Hollywood Game Night, which bodes well for her new gig as the host of NBC's The Weakest Link reboot. She also appeared in some notable films.
10 Rio (2011) - 6.9
Tumblr media
Lynch has lent her voice to countless animated features during her three-decade career and counting. In Rio, she voiced the role of Alice, The Other Goose.
The film follows Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), a baby macaw that is kidnapped from its native Brazil and taken to the U.S. to be sold for profit. When Blu falls off the delivery truck and is taken in by a young girl in Minnesota, the bird spends the next 15 years in captivity. Upon meeting a female macaw named Jewel, the two set off on an epic pilgrimage back home to South America.
9 Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (2009) - 6.9
Tumblr media
Lynch also worked with Rio director Carlos Saldanha on Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, lending her voice to the role of Diatryma Mom. The film follows Sid (John Leguizamo), who steals a trio of dinosaur eggs so he can start a family of his own.

Upon the theft, Sid is kidnapped by the mother of the three eggs and sent to a harrowing subterranean lair to fend for himself. The more endangered Sid becomes, the faster his friends Manny, Ellie, and Diego must rescue him.
8 Paul (2011) - 7.0
Tumblr media
Greg Mottola's Paul tells the story of Graeme (Simon Pegg) and Clive (Nick Frost), a pair of UFO-obsessed comic-book enthusiasts who concoct a hair-brained scheme to infiltrate Area 51 to witness authentic extraterrestrial life.

On their quest, the two men meet Paul (Seth Rogen), a tiny foul-mouthed alien who leads an adventurous road-trip back to his fleeting mothership. Lynch plays a supporting character named Pat Stevens that the trio encounters on their sojourn.
7 Ralph Breaks The Internet (2018) - 7.0
Tumblr media
Lynch reprised her role of Calhoun in Ralph Breaks the Internet, the most-recent movie she's participated in. Released several years after the original, the sequel finds Ralph (John C. Reilly) trapped inside a racing arcade game with his best friend, Vanellope (Sarah Silverman).
Due to a technological glitch, Ralph and Vanellope travel through the internet in an attempt to obtain the proper cable that will help them restore her game.
6 The 40-Year-Old-Virgin (2005) - 7.1
Tumblr media
In Judd Apatow's The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Lynch plays Paula, the aggressive and hyper-sexual boss of Andy (Steve Carell) who continues to make overages to him during business hours.

Painfully shy and awkward, Andy's immature friends and co-workers attempt to help him finally lose his virginity. But when Andy meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a genuine romance blossoms that allow Andy to remain true to himself while finding authentic love.
5 The Hammer (2007) - 7.2
Tumblr media
While Lynch merely makes an uncredited cameo as "woman who argues with Jerry," The Hammer still ranks among her highest-rated movies, per IMDb.
Rather than a virgin, The Hammer centers on a 40-year-old boxer named Jerry Ferro (Adam Carolla) trying to reclaim the pugilistic glory he enjoyed 20 years earlier. Given a slim shot to make the Olympic team, Jerry rigorously climbs the ranks of the ring in an attempt to realize his childhood dream.
4 A Mighty Wind (2003) - 7.2
Tumblr media
Along with John Michael Higgins, Lynch plays a folk-singing member of Witches in Natures Color (WINC) in the Christopher Guest mockumentary A Mighty Wind. That is, the two worship color and channel the energy into their folk songs.
The film revolves around a folk music reunion festival and the various participants in the twilight of their careers. Much of the drama centers on Mitch (Eugene Levy) and Mickey (Catherine O'Hara), two estranged former lovers who can't help but make beautiful music while in each other's presence.
3 Best In Show (2000) - 7.5
Tumblr media
In Christopher Guest's incisive satire about The National Dog Show, Lynch plays formidable reigning champion, Christy Cummings, the dog handler of a precious poodle named Rhapsody in White.
The poodle's biggest competition to repeat as champion comes from Winky, a Norwich terrier owned by the odd couple Cookie (Catherine O'Hara) and Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy). Meanwhile, Christy has an illicit affair with her employer, Sherri Ann Cabot (Jennifer Coolidge).
2 Wreck-It Ralph (2012) - 7.7
Tumblr media
Compared to its sequel, Lynch played a much larger role as Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun in Wreck-It Ralph. As the lead character of the in-movie video game Hero's Duty, Calhoun helps Felix find Ralph inside the Sugar Rush racing game.
RELATED: Wreck-It Ralph Main Characters Ranked By Likability
Meanwhile, all Ralph wants to do is leave his villainous nature behind and become the heroic figure of his video game. His wish comes true in part when he manages to save Vanellope from a terminal glitch that nearly put her out of order.
1 The Fugitive (1993) - 7.8
Tumblr media
Lynch makes a small but lasting impression in The Fugitive, playing Dr. Richard Kimble's former medical colleague who's willing to help him while on the lam.
Falsely accused of murdering his wife, Kimble escapes from a prison transport bus and immediately sets out to prove his innocence by finding the real culprit. Kimble spends years in hiding as he systematically works to identify the one-armed man who murdered his wife in cold blood and framed him for it.

June 28: Richard Commey to Defend Lightweight World Title Against Former Champion Ray Beltran

Published: May 17, 2019
Something has to give. IBF lightweight world champion Richard Commey is one of the division’s biggest punchers. For his first title defense, he’ll face a rugged ex-champion who hasn’t been knocked out in more than a decade.   Commey will defend his belt against former WBO lightweight world champion Ray Beltran in the Top Rank on ESPN main event Friday, June 28 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. In the 10-round co-feature, undefeated Dominican puncher Carlos “Caballo Bronco” Adames will defend his NABO and NABF 154-pound belts against Patrick Day.   Commey-Beltran and Adames-Day will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. The undercard will stream live on ESPN+, the leading multi-sport streaming service, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.   Promoted by Top Rank, in association with DiBella Entertainment, tickets for this world championship event priced at $149, $129, $79, $59, and $29 are on sale now and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at 800-745-3000 or in person at the Pechanga Resort Casino box office.   “I’m honored to be headlining an ESPN show as a world champion and to be fighting former world champion Ray Beltran, whom I have the utmost respect for,” Commey said. “This is an opportunity for me to show the American public that I’m here to become the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. The path is set, and come June 28, I’ll be ready to rock ‘n’ roll.”   “I’m excited about this fight with Richard Commey. I’ve been the WBO champion, and I intend to be the IBF champion on June 28,” Beltran said. “I expect a tough fight, but that’s the kind of fight I like. We are both very experienced, so it will come down to who is willing to lay his heart on the line that night. After losing my title to Jose Pedraza, I think some people thought I was done, but I always come back and prove that I belong. I’m excited to announce that Freddie Roach is back in my corner after all these years. When I was working with Manny Pacquiao, I saw what Freddie can do, both in camp and in the corner. I’m grateful to Top Rank and ESPN for having me back. The only thing I want for my birthday (July 23) is the IBF world title.” “Richard Commey, the pride of Ghana, is a physically imposing, hard-punching lightweight champion," said Lou DiBella, Commey's promoter. "We’re thrilled that his first defense will be a high-profile fight against tenacious former world champion Ray Beltran. Richard wants to be a unified champion and a star. On June 28, he has an opportunity to raise his profile worldwide."   Commey (28-2, 25 KOs) blew away Isa Chaniev via second-round TKO Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, to win the vacant IBF world title. He had previously challenged Robert Easter Jr. for that belt, dropping a razor-thin split decision in September 2016. His only other loss came via split decision less than three months later to Denis Shafikov in Shafikov’s home country of Russia. Since then, he has won four in a row and is fully recovered from a right knuckle injury suffered during the Chaniev fight. A proud native of Accra, Ghana, Commey hails from the same neighborhood that produced former world champions Ike Quartey, Joshua Clottey, David Kotey, Alfred Kotey, Joseph Agbeko and the legendary Azumah Nelson.   Beltran (36-8-1, 22 KOs), the former sparring partner to the stars, realized his world championship dreams in February 2018, besting Paulus Moses by unanimous decision to win the WBO lightweight world title. His title reign was short-lived, as he was defeated by Jose Pedraza via unanimous decision last August. Beltran rebounded from that setback, returning in February to knock out then-unbeaten 140-pound contender Hiroki Okada in the ninth round.   Adames (17-0, 14 KOs) has won three straight bouts by knockout since electing to campaign at 154 pounds. A former amateur star from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Adames grew up with 35 siblings and turned to the sport at the age of 12 after an older brother took him to a gym. In his last bout, April 20 on the Terence Crawford-Amir Khan undercard, he blew away perennial contender Frank Galarza in four rounds. Day (17-2-1, 6 KOs), from Freeport, New York, has won six in a row, including two wins against previously unbeaten fighters. He made a statement Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, outboxing Ismail Iliev (11-0-1 at the time) over 10 rounds.   "This fight represents a big step in the right direction for me and my career,” Adames said. “I am thrilled with this opportunity, and as I have always promised to my people of the Dominican Republic, I will be the next world champion from the island and the new face of Dominican boxing."   "Time to show the world who Pat Day is," Day said. "These are the fights I dreamed of on my way to top 10 contention. Now that I am here, I intend to advance to a world title. I respect what Carlos brings to the table, but he has never fought a guy like me. I am focused on winning and looking good doing it.”   The action-packed ESPN+ stream will include the following bouts:
Saul “Neno” Rodriguez (23-0-1, 17 KOs) will take on Miguel Angel “Miguelito” Gonzalez (24-4, 21 KOs) in a super featherweight bout scheduled for 10 rounds. Rodriguez has notched a pair of knockout wins since returning from a nearly two-year layoff.
Middleweight prospect Tyler Howard (17-0, 11 KOs) will face the upset-minded Manny “Shake Em’ Up Woods (16-8-1, 6 KOs) in an eight-rounder.
Ruben Rodriguez (6-0, 2 KOs), a 22-year-old super lightweight prospect from Indio, California, will fight Vicente Morales (2-2-2, 1 KO) in a six-rounder.
Raymond Muratalla (7-0, 5 KOs) will look to extend his knockout streak to three against Javier Martinez (4-6, 3 KOs) in a lightweight fight scheduled for six rounds. 
Super featherweight sensation Christopher “The Boy” Zavala (4-0, 2 KOs) will fight Prisco Marquez (4-0-1, 1 KO) in a four-rounder.
Middleweight prospect David “Lion of Zion” Kaminsky (4-0, 2 KOs), an 18-year-old from Israel, will face veteran Osbaldo Gonzalez (6-4, 4 KOs) in a four-rounder.
2016 Australian Olympian Daniel Lewis (1-0, 1 KO) will see action in a six-round middleweight contest in his Top Rank debut.
Super lightweight prospect Elvis Rodriguez (2-0, 2 KOs) will face an opponent to be named in a four-rounder.

Top 5 Fights in Boxing for July 2018
(New post on FreeBetAlerts.com) - https://freebetalerts.com/2018/09/28/top-5-fights-in-boxing-for-july-2018/ #Boxing, #Freebets, #SportNews
Top 5 Fights in Boxing for July 2018 Please share.
The July boxing scene is on point. Amid a stacked month of fan-friendly action, a modern great is set to continue his legacy, while two elite Cruiserweights will collide in a mouth-watering unification, and a Pound for Pound favorite returns. As always, you can check out the entire month’s fixtures in our updated 2018 Schedule.   Manny Pacquiao vs. Lucas Matthysse (Boxnation) July 14, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia While this fight isn’t overly significant for the Welterweight ranks, it does boast star appeal and thriller potential. Manny Pacquiao, despite approaching the twilight of his career, possesses the greater ability and talent, but the one-punch KO power belongs to Matthysse. So this is naturally a battle of veteran legend versus vaunted puncher. Pacquiao should have all the tools he needs to frustrate and outbox his man, but there’s a good chance Matthysse could do major damage from a single blow. For that reason, Pacquiao needs to fight smart and avoid getting into any unnecessary close-range exchanges. We’ll soon see. Matthysse will defend his WBA title.   Pacquiao vs. Matthysse: Notable Undercard
Moruti Mthalane vs. Muhammad Waseem | vacant IBF Flyweight Championship Carlos Canizales vs. Bin Lu | WBA Junior Flyweight Championship
  Jaime Munguia vs. Liam Smith (HBO) July 21, Las Vegas, Nevada Overall, this Junior Middleweight matchup looks decent enough, considering where both men are in their respective careers. The unbeaten Jaime Munguia is on top right now following a shock demolition job of Sadam Ali in May, and Liam Smith, a former champion with questionable ability at true world level, isn’t a bad opponent. For defense number two, I’ve no complaints. Munguia looked sharp and brutal versus Ali, sure, but that’s not to say Smith, who gritted out nine rounds against Canelo Alvarez in 2016, can’t make this a hard fight. Smith is gnarly, seems to relish a tear up, and is far too capable to be considered a soft touch here. Munguia’s WBO title will be up for grabs.   Munguia vs. Smith: Notable Undercard
Albert Machado vs. Rafael Mensah | WBA Junior Lightweight Championship
  Oleksandr Usyk vs. Murat Gassiev (ITV Box Office) July 21, Moscow, Russia What can I say about this World Boxing Super Series Final that isn’t already being said? It’s a spectacular for-all-the-marbles unification between the two best Cruiserweights in the world. And that’s not really up for discussion. All the major belts – IBF, WBA, WBO, WBC – will be on the line, and the man with his hand raised at end of this thing will be ‘The Man’. Period. It’s simply a fantastic fight. Usyk is the slicker operator who looks like the slight favorite going in, but I wouldn’t be anything close to surprised if Gassiev, a banger with some deft boxing ability of his own, is able to spring what would still likely be considered a sizeable upset. All the ingredients are there. Just watch it.   Usyk vs. Gassiev: Notable Undercard
Cecilia Braekhus vs. Inna Sagaydakovskya | IBF, WBA, WBO, WBC Welterweight Championship
  Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter (Showtime) July 28, Los Angeles, California Again, nothing to reasonably complain about here. Mikey Garcia, BB’s No.4 Pound for Pound and No.3 Lightweight, will be colliding with Robert Easter, BB’s No.4. It’s another best-fighting-the-best meeting, and things become even more interesting when you throw in the unbeaten records and title unification element. Plus, physically, these guys couldn’t be more different. Garcia is the more dangerous, natural-born puncher in this one, sure, but that’s not the whole story. Though he’ll be considered the favorite, we can’t overlook the fact that he’ll be giving away five inches in height (5’ 6” – 5’ 11”) and eight in reach (68” – 76”). Easter’s IBF and Garcia’s WBC belts will be in the pot.   Garcia vs. Easter: Notable Undercard
Richard Commey vs. TBA | Lightweight
  Dillian Whyte vs. Joseph Parker (Sky Sports Box Office) July 28, London, England After watching Joseph Parker’s spirited effort against Anthony Joshua – in which he became the first man to go twelve rounds with AJ – I’m going with the Kiwi in this one. Parker showcased a more refined side of his skill set that night, and those smoother edges should allow him to beat Dillian Whyte, a decent contender, albeit one who seems noticeably scrappier these days. Now, I’m not completely writing Whyte off. He can bang and, when he chooses to, throw in some cerebral moves. But I’m just wondering what he’s done exactly to get himself into this Pay Per View matchup. I think Whyte just has that excitement factor going for him; giving AJ a shaky start, going life-and-death with Derek Chisora, and destroying an overweight (even shot?) Lucas Browne. Anyway, whatever. Let’s just hope Whyte vs. Parker is a barnburner.   Whyte vs. Parker: Notable Undercard
Kell Brook vs. Brandon Cook | Junior Middleweight Katie Taylor vs. Kimberly Connor | WBA, IBF Lightweight Championship Derek Chisora vs. Carlos Takam | Heavyweight
  Boxing in July: Best of the Rest Jose Ramirez vs. Danny O’Connor (ESPN / Deportes) July 7, Fresno, California; WBC Junior Welterweight Championship   Regis Prograis vs. Juan Jose Velasco (ESPN / Deportes) July 14, New Orleans, Louisiana; Junior Welterweight   Tyron Zeuge vs. Rocky Fielding (Sky Sports Arena) July 14, Offenburg, Germany; WBA Super Middleweight Championship   Srisaket Sor Rungvisai vs. Young Gil Bae (TBA TV) July 21, Bang Phun, Thailand; Bantamweight   Christopher Diaz vs. Masayuki Ito (Boxnation, ESPN+) July 28, Kissimee, Florida; WBO Junior Lightweight Championship   And there you have it, fight fans. Fire away with your early predictions for this July’s Top 5 fights. Do you see any upsets lurking? Can Pacquiao continue his boxing legacy with a win over Argentine wrecking ball Matthysse? And who will leave with all the marbles in the Cruiserweight WBSS Final? Let us know below.

If Miami has a QB, the 2017 Canes will win their first ACC division title
Mark Richt has everything he needs to reach the ACC Championship. Well, maybe.
In the 18 seasons between 1987 and 2004, Miami and Florida State met as top-10 foes 12 times, including runs of seven straight years from 1987-93 and four of five from 2000-04. As the balance of power shifted to the nation’s southeastern-most corridor, this became the nation’s most important rivalry.
Since then: less so. Over the last 12 seasons, the teams have met only once as top-10 teams (No. 3 vs. No. 7 in 2013). Both fell into mid-2000s funks, and only FSU has completely rebounded.
A good rivalry comes with a psychological cost, though, and by that standard it is still one of the biggest rivalries. Miami has lost seven games in a row to FSU, and it has annually become the defining point of the Canes’ season.
In 2013, the No. 7 Canes lost 41-14 to the No. 3 Noles and got blown out the next two weeks.
In 2014, Miami was a decent 6-3, lost 30-26 to No. 2 FSU, and lost its final three games.
In 2015, Miami was 3-1, lost 29-24 to No. 12 FSU, then got head coach Al Golden fired two weeks later following a blowout loss to Clemson.
Richt passed a lot of tests in his first year as Golden's successor. The 57-year-old former Miami QB and Georgia head coach called the plays for an offense that improved from 49th to 34th in Off. S&P+, and a young defense surged from 52nd to 13th in Def. S&P+, its highest since 2010. Miami won nine games, finished ranked in the AP poll, and finished in the S&P+ top 15, all for the first time since 2005. The season was an absolute success.
Richt's Canes still couldn't pass the FSU test, though. They bolted to a 13-0 lead in the second quarter against Jimbo Fisher's Noles, then gave up 20 straight points. A last-ditch scoring drive was foiled by a missed PAT.
True to form, the Canes then lost the next three games. They lost by a touchdown at home to UNC, then by three scores to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Then, in their first trip to South Bend in 26 years, came the ultimate disappointment: becoming the only damn team to figure out how to lose a close game to Notre Dame.
To their credit, they rebounded. And they are the media’s favorite to win the ACC Coastal because of it. When the calendar flipped to November, they flipped the switch, beating strong Pitt and NC State teams by a combined 78-41, handling their business against Virginia and Duke, and trouncing WVU, 31-14, in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
The Hurricanes were 10th in S&P+ when they lost to FSU, fell to 29th during their losing streak (they didn’t fall further because they were losing to top-30 teams), and finished 14th.
Miami returns a lot of fun pieces.
Ahmmon Richards was maybe the best No. 2 receiver in the country as a freshman, combining a 61 percent catch rate with a nearly 20-yard average per catch. He’s the No. 1 now.
Explosive running back Mark Walton rushed for 1,100 yards as a sophomore.
Five offensive linemen have combined for 86 career starts.
The front seven from one of the nation’s most havoc-heavy defenses is almost completely intact.
Most of the pieces of a top-15 special teams unit return.
To be sure, there are questions. For one, we don’t know if the Canes have a quarterback. That’s reasonably important. And the quest for answers at QB and cornerback could determine whether we’re talking about a top-10 or top-40 team.
Looking at recent seasons, though, team quality only matters so much. How the Hurricanes respond to what will probably be another FSU loss — FSU is projected third in the country, and the game is in Tallahassee — might matter above all else.
At its best, Miami plays with pride, passion, and swagger That swagger cannot seem to survive rivalry losses, however. Richt’s primary goal: figuring out how to move beyond losses to FSU ... or actually beat the Noles at some point. The former might be more likely this year, but there are still big goals on the table.
2016 in review
2016 Miami statistical profile.
The post-FSU funk truly was stark.
First 5 games (4-1): Avg. percentile performance: 87% (~top 15) | Avg. score: UM 41, Opp 13 | Avg. yards per play: UM 7.4, Opp 4.0
Next 3 games (0-3): Avg. percentile performance: 39% (~top 80) | Avg. score: Opp 29, UM 15 | Avg. yards per play: Opp 6.0, UM 4.9
Last 5 games (5-0): Avg. percentile performance: 87% (~top 15) | Avg. score: UM 37, Opp 18 | Avg. yards per play: UM 6.5, Opp 4.7
There weren’t any particular injuries that could explain this slump away. The offense fell apart in a 20-13 loss to UNC, the defense followed suit in a 37-16 loss to Virginia Tech, and the entire team started horribly (down 20-0) before rebounding in the 30-27 defeat to Notre Dame.
Most startling is how similar the beginning and end numbers are. Once the Canes found their rhythm again, they went right back to the nearly elite play they had established. For two of three months, Miami showed a top-10 ceiling. That sets the bar high for 2017 ... at least as long as that QB question is answered.
Offense
Full advanced stats glossary.
You have to appreciate Richt’s thinking.
Point A. My last offensive coordinator hire at Georgia basically helped me get fired.
Point B. You know what? I’m just going to call plays myself.
Richt hired former Georgia running back and running backs coach Thomas Brown as his offensive coordinator, but the play calls went through the chief headset.
After slumping from 34th to 49th in Off. S&P+ in 2015, the Canes rebounded to 34th. That was solid, considering how uncooperative the run game was.
Brown and Richt inherited a ground attack that had plummeted to 117th in Rushing S&P+ and 113th in Adj. Line Yards; the Canes improved to 71st and 97th, respectively, and Walton and backups Joe Yearby and Gus Edwards proved explosive in their rare open-field opportunities. Still, unreliability on the ground put a lot of pressure on quarterback Brad Kaaya.
For the most part, Kaaya responded well. He managed a 150 passer rating for the season and had six games at 159 or higher. Miami ranked 35th in Passing S&P+ despite losing 2015’s top two receiving targets.
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
Ahmmon Richards
Stacy Coley was a decent No. 1 target, but the main reason Miami’s passing game still had some oomph was the way that Kaaya incorporated tight ends (David Njoku and Christopher Herndon IV combined: 109 targets, 72 catches, 1,040 yards, 10 touchdowns) and true freshman Richards.
Miami is without Coley, Njoku, and Kaaya, but the Canes still have Richards, who may have been the best freshman receiver in the country. He broke Michael Irvin’s school record for freshman receiving yards, and Herndon averaged 9.2 yards per target. If they’re healthy, Miami’s receiving corps is one of the better ones in the ACC, especially considering the return of Walton, slot man Braxton Berrios, and reserves Dayall Harris and Lawrence Cager.
Of course, a receiving corps is only as good as the guy throwing the ball.
The story of the ACC Coastal is going to be about who replaces its quarterback the best. Miami, Virginia Tech, UNC, Georgia Tech, and Pitt (last year’s Coastal top five) are all replacing their signal callers, and not everyone will do it well.
Here are the candidates for Miami:
Junior Malik Rosier, who has completed 31 of 61 passes for 370 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in two years as a backup. Most of that came in 2015, and he’s also rushed 13 times (non-sacks) for 87 yards.
Sophomore Evan Shirreffs, brother of UConn QB Bryant Shirreffs, who hasn’t yet thrown a pass.
True freshman N’Kosi Perry, a four-star true freshman who ... is a true freshman.
Nobody seized control this spring.
A steadier run game would be immensely helpful. Walton appears to have solid star power, and backup Trayone Gray averaged 6 yards per carry in 2015 before missing last season with injury.
But the line was still a jumbled mess last year. Only two players managed to start all 13 games, and six others started at least three. Of this eight-man sample, four return, and a trio of seniors (Trevor Darling, Nick Linder, KC McDermott) has combined for 75 career starts. Experience is important, but so is upside, and if this line doesn’t show more of that, this new QB will be throwing a lot of passes on second-and-9.
Logan Bowles-USA TODAY Sports
Mark Walton
Defense
Richt’s first Miami offense was a marginal success. His first defense was an outright hit.
Overall S&P+: improved from 52th in 2015 to 13th in 2016
Rushing S&P+: from 115th to 24th
Passing S&P+: from 33rd to seventh
Standard Downs S&P+: from 89th to 11th
Passing Downs S&P+: from 21st to 17th
The pass defense improved a little, and the run defense improved dramatically. That was doubly impressive considering the Hurricanes had to replace three of their top four linemen and each of their top five linebackers from 2015.
To say the least, the first-year marriage of coordinator/linebackers coach Manny Diaz and line coach Craig Kuligowski worked, and Miami combined efficiency with big-play prevention.
That the front seven came together this quickly was a shocker. The top three linebackers were freshmen, and the next three were sophomores. The top seven linemen consisted of four sophomores, a freshman, and two juniors. And yet, Miami rose from 82nd in havoc rate and 69th on the defensive line to 19th and fourth, respectively.

Joe Jackson
Now everyone’s back, and Miami appears to have play-makers at every spot in the front seven.
Ends Chad Thomas, Joe Jackson, Trent Harris, and Demetrius Jackson combined for 38 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, nine pass breakups, and four forced fumbles.
Tackles RJ McIntosh, Kendrick Norton, and Gerald Willis combined for 25 TFLs and six sacks, though Willis (5.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks) is taking a 2017 leave of absence.
Middle linebacker Shaquille Quarterman had 10 TFLs and three sacks (again, as a freshman).
Outside linebackers Michael Pinckney, Zach McCloud, and Darrion Owens combined for 13 TFLs, three sacks, and six passes defensed.
Granted, we don’t know much about linebacker depth, since only four really played last year, but this front seven is still one of the most proven in the country. If we’re looking at the ACC Coastal race as a race to figure out teams’ quarterback situations, Miami’s defense will give the Hurricanes a head start over the field.
Well, it will as long as there’s minimal regression in the secondary. It probably wouldn’t be smart to gloss over the loss of cornerback Corn Elder and safeties Jamal Carter Sr. and Rayshawn Jenkins. They combined for not only three interceptions and 22 breakups but also 10 TFLs and 4.5 sacks; Miami has held opponents to a 120 passer rating or lower for three straight years, and this trio was a driving force behind it.
The return of junior safeties Jaquan Johnson and Sheldrick Redwine should keep the floor for the secondary high, but Elder was the anchor for a shuffled cornerbacks unit. Sophomore Malek Young is back, but the Canes will be relying on two newcomers: Citadel graduate transfer and FCS All-American Dee Delaney and four-star JUCO transfer Jhavonte Dean. Four-star freshman Trajan Bandy might have to help, too.
If cornerback is stable, this defense might not have a weakness. No pressure, new guys.

Special Teams
Most of a well-rounded special teams unit returns. Punter Justin Vogel (43.8 average, 21st in punt efficiency) is gone, but in place-kicker Michael Badgley (10-for-11 on field goals over 40 yards, 27th in kickoff efficiency) and punt returner Braxton Berrios (11.3-yard average, 42nd in punt return efficiency), the Canes have a good starting point. The Canes ranked 12th in Special Teams S&P+, gaining about 1.4 points per game from this unit, and there should easily be another positive impact this fall.

First, some good news: Miami’s post-FSU schedule is manageable. After heading to Tallahassee on September 15, the Canes face three home games, a bye, and no projected top-30 opponents in the proceeding five weeks. The home stretch — at UNC, Virginia Tech, at Pitt — will decide the division title, but there’s potential for a softer landing following a probable FSU loss. And if they rebound, they might get a second shot at FSU in early December.
I hate making predictions in general, but figuring out the Coastal division is giving me a damn headache. It’s easy to see why Miami starts out as the favorite; the front seven could be one of the best in the country, and the combination of Richards and Walton gives a new quarterback a nice starting point. But changing QBs is a walk through a mine field. It will work fine for some teams and horribly for others.
If a Miami quarterback — be it Rosier, Shirreffs, Perry, or hell, even walk-on/legacy Vincent Testaverde or another true freshman, Cade Weldon — is able to execute, he’s going to have a couple of exciting young targets, and the run game should improve at least a little bit further. The defense won’t need a ton of help.
S&P+ basically splits the difference on potential outcomes and projects the Canes 18th, and the schedule should help the cause. The Canes get Virginia Tech at home and avoid Clemson, Louisville, and NC State from the Atlantic Division. They are favored by S&P+ in 11 of 12 games, though at least four contests (at UNC, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, at Pitt) are relative tossups. This really could be a fantastic year at Hard Rock Stadium ... as long as Richt isn’t the only capable signal caller.

dearest tell me about 'shannon'
the shannon fic is also known as the manny fic, which i'm sure you've heard too much about at this point, but for the tumblrinas the manny/shannon fic is a fic where buck ends up in el paso and becomes a manny for shannon when christopher is about 3 and eddie's still deployed. i've been having a BLAST writing it and i've posted like a million sneak peeks of it in the 118 discord server so sorry for the repeat but here u gooo
“You should listen to your mom, bud,” the guy says, when Christopher continues to pout. All in all, he’s being very cool with a toddler clinging to his leg. Way cooler than other young men his age would be, Shannon thinks. “I’m pretty cool, but not everyone’s as cool as me.” Christopher giggles a little. “Cool.” “I’m sure you know all about cool. I mean, look at that shirt! That’s a very cool shirt.” “Stegosaurus,” Christopher says, stuttering slightly but getting there in the end. He pulls away from the man’s leg far enough to point at the stegosaurus on his shirt, then points to the dinosaur beside it, announcing, “Triceratops.” “Wow, cool and smart, dude. That’s awesome!” The man uses the new separation between him and Christopher to widen the distance, quietly but effectively allowing Shannon to step in closer and settle a hand on Christopher’s curls, putting him firmly back in Shannon’s space. Shannon finds herself impressed. “I’m Evan,” the man says, smiling first at Christopher, then Shannon. “I’m Shannon,” she says, holding out a hand for him to shake. His large hand encompasses hers, warm and slightly callused. He squeezes her hand gently before releasing, then squats down to offer the same hand to Christopher, who giggles. “And you are?” Evan asks. Christopher wraps his whole hand around two of Evan’s fingers in a mock-handshake. “Christopher Diaz.” “It’s very nice to meet you, Christopher Diaz,” Evan says, and even seems to mean it. Shannon ruffles Christopher’s hair, forcing herself not to attempt to discretely hide her wedding ring from Evan’s view.

Media Workout: Miguel Berchelt-Francisco Vargas 2 and Emanuel Navarrete Isaac Dogboe 2 Headline "Twice as Nice" Show in Tucson

Published: May 08, 2019
TUCSON, Ariz. (May 8, 2019) –  Two world title rematches and four blood-and-guts warriors are coming to Tucson Arena Saturday evening for "Twice as Nice," one of the year's most highly anticipated cards (ESPN and ESPN Deportes, 10 p.m ET/7 p.m. PT). In the main event, WBC super featherweight world champion Miguel “El Alacran” Berchelt (35-1, 31 KOs) and Francisco “El Bandido” Vargas (25-1-2, 18 KOs) will look to repeat the thrills of their January 2017 match, won by Berchelt via 11th-round knockout. And, in the co-feature, Emanuel Navarrete (26-1, 22 KOs) will defend his WBO junior featherweight world title against Isaac Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs), the man he defeated by unanimous decision to win the title back on Dec. 8. After working out for the media Wednesday at Southwest Boxing Gym, this is what the fighters had to say. Miguel Berchelt "The people of Tucson and watching on ESPN are in for a great show. Vargas and I fought a great fight back in 2017, and our 2019 rematch will be no different. We are proud Mexican warriors who leave it all in the ring." "You will see the same 'Alacran' from the first fight with Vargas. I will enter the ring with a lot of desire to win and defend my title. I will defend this belt with everything that I have. This belt belongs to me." "The strategy is the same, which is to go out there to solve the problem that Vargas represents. I will leave it all in the ring. I will give all my heart to this battle." "Every time the 'Alacran' fights, it's a guarantee that the fans will see a knockout." On a potential Lomachenko fight "That is the fight we want. We want big challenges, without a doubt. I'd love to fight Lomachenko." Francisco Vargas  
"I've been patient. I've been waiting for this fight for two years and now it's finally here. It's going to be a war. I did a few different things in preparation for this fight. I worked on different strategies, but we'll see how the fight goes. You know, when two Mexicans get into the ring, they leave everything behind. My goal is to reclaim the world title." Emanuel Navarrete On the first Dogboe fight   "It was a surreal moment when they announced me as the new champion. I was very happy to meet my goal, and now I am ready to defend the title successfully. It motivates me to know that the first fight was so good that everyone wants an immediate rematch.” "This is a very attractive card. Many good fighters will be in action and you can't ask for anything better than two world title rematches. I'm going to try and give the fans a big knockout win." Isaac Dogboe “Navarrete couldn’t knock me out when I was at my worst, and now am I at my best. I am a much more fit boxer this time around, and it is my mission to become world champion once again. The 'Royal Storm' is back." "I have fought in Arizona before (first-round KO over Hidenori Otake in Glendale), and the fans there are tremendous.

Crawford-Khan to headline first-ever Top Rank on ESPN PPVSATURDAY beginning at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST Teofimo Lopez-Edis Tatli, Shakur Stevenson-Christopher Diaz and Felix Verdejo-Bryan Vasquez round out PPV broadcast Carlos Adames-Frank Galarza tops undercard broadcast beginning at 6 p.m. EST/3 p.m. PST on ESPN2
NEW YORK CITY (April 17, 2019) – The time for talking is over. Terence "Bud" Crawford is ready for business. Crawford (34-0, 25 KOs) will defend his WBO welterweight title against Amir "King" Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) Saturday night at Madison Square Garden on the inaugural Top Rank on ESPN PPV (9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST).  The PPV undercard will feature undefeated lightweight sensation Teofimo Lopez against Edis Tatli in a 12-rounder, Shakur Stevenson versus Christopher Diaz in a 10-round featherweight showdown and Puerto Rican superstar Felix Verdejo taking on former interim world champion Bryan Vasquez. Three days away from the Garden Party, this is what Crawford, Khan and their trainers had to say. Terence Crawford "I don't believe no fight that I fight is just another fight for me. I believe that all fights that I fight from here on out are for my legacy. That's why I want the biggest fights out there. Amir Khan's name came up because he was the next best welterweight in the division. I could've easily took {Luis} Collazo. He could've took another fight with Kell Brook. I could've took Collazo, but that wasn't the job that I really wanted to take. Amir Khan is a great fighter. I can't take nothing away from. He's done a lot in the sport of boxing. He has a big name. He's undefeated at the welterweight division. So why not take another step up? On not getting the credit for beating certain opponents "Sometimes it bothers me, but that just shows how dominant I am. When you got undefeated gold medalists and world champions, where before the fight a lot of writers and fans think that they're going to steamroll me or they're too big for me, and this is going to be the toughest fight of my career. After the fight, they say, 'He wasn't that good,' or 'he was a stand-up fighter,' or 'he was slow,' or 'we knew you were going to do this, we just had to hype up the fight.' So they discredit me. When you look at the fighters I've fought, most of them haven't been the same after they've fought me." "I just want people to respect me for my talent and the skills that I have, and the willingness to go in there and fight any and everybody that's available." Amir Khan "This {fight} ranks at the top for me because fighting a world champion, Terence is very high in the pound-for-pound rankings, maybe number one or number two. So, it's just amazing for me to be in this position once again. That itself is a great motivation for me, to know that I'm fighting the best out there once again. And it makes me train harder, work harder and focus on this fight. I know that I can't make any mistakes in this fight because I could be trouble. Terence, I've been watching all the videos of his fights. I see how he breaks down fighters, how he sees openings and stuff, and I can't make those openings {easy for him}. Maybe my last performance got me this fight. To me, that wasn't the best performance. That wasn't the best Amir Khan. I'm now back with my old trainer, Virgil Hunter, where I'm happy and he trained me the best. And he knows me better than any trainer out there. We know we've done everything we have to do for this fight, and I'm going to be more than ready." "I've had some good fights in the welterweight division. We fought {Luis} Collazo. We fought {Devon} Alexander. {Virgil} has brought the best out of me. Even the Canelo fight was going well until I got caught with a shot. So, I mean, whereas this fight I'm fighting someone who is my own weight, which helps. Every fight with Virgil, I've learned something from, win or lose, and he's brought the best out of me. I needed to get back with someone who could bring that respect back for the sport of boxing and also make me work harder." "This is a dream come true, and hopefully on Saturday, a dream will come true, where I get my opportunity to fight for another world title and be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. This just drives me, makes me work harder, train harder, stay focused. I know I have someone in front of me who is up there as number one. You can't deny that. He's a good fighter. I know he's training hard because he doesn't want to lose that unbeaten record, and I don't want to lose this fight because I want to achieve everything I want in the sport of boxing." Bob Arum "I don't have to talk about what the public is going to see from Terence Crawford. Anyone who knows anything in boxing knows a Terence Crawford comes along very seldom in a generation. I look at him {and the closest thing I can recall to him} is Sugar Ray Leonard. Terence reminds me of Sugar Ray Leonard. I'm not going to get into who would win if they fought each other because that ain't gonna happen. Terence is really something special, and I'm so delighted that we've been able to arrange this fight against Khan, who I've always been an admirer of. Tremendous, tremendous fighter. I know Amir remembers the time I spent with his family when he was in Manny Pacquiao's training camp. So I know what he brings to this party, and I am really looking forward to performances by two great fighters. A generational talent in Terence Crawford, and one of the great fighters I've seen in Amir Khan." Frank Smith (Matchroom Boxing CEO) "Amir had other opportunities he could've gone down, most notably probably the Kell Brook fight. But this is the fight that Amir wanted, and you have respect that and you have to respect a man who has done what he's done in the sport, and I believe on Saturday night he's going to go in there and do a job and become a world champion once again." "I think Amir, when he's in with the best fighters, that's when he looks the best. I think the test of Terence Crawford, taking on one of the best pound-for-pound fighters, one of the most respected fighters in the world, will bring him on. He has come back from those two fights {victories over Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas}... I think as a welterweight, that's the strongest weight for him, and I think it's great having Virgil back in his corner. He had a great time with Joe Goossen, but I think being back with Virgil, who he's been with for a very long time, is important to him."  Brian McIntyre (Crawford's trainer) "It's an honor to be across the ring from Virgil Hunter, and I will tell Virgil and everyone in the world that I'll listen to him, as he {trained} Andre Ward and so many other fighters. As a student of the game, you go back and try to listen to the trainers and see what they tell their fighters in the corner... I'm glad Amir went back with Virgil Hunter because I don't want him to have no excuses when Terence starts touching him." Virgil Hunter (Khan's trainer) "It's been a pleasure having Amir back. It came at the right time and a good time for a fight of this magnitude, to go up against a great fighter like Terence Crawford. As coaches, we live for these opportunities. Whether we win, whether we come up short, we thrive in these settings. It's a great opportunity, and it's a pleasure to be involved in this event." "He can't have a mental lapse. He has to be focused every second of every round and be able to read the adjustments that a great fighter like Crawford will make. He's {excellent} at making adjustments, and we have to be able to read those adjustments and adjust accordingly to stay competitive and try to win this fight."
