Can someone explain the obsession w/Ronda Rousey

    I don't know. I never mentioned Nunes. You did.

    Not a clue what this means. Danica Patrick is in the WWE?

    Count the big-time advertising spots going forward. There won't be many. If she does retire, and I'm guessing she will, the photo Chef posted and the memes are going to be a long-lasting image of her.

    Someone was in love with that "Ronda Lousy" headline?

    Yes. Sometimes that's all it takes with them. You're right.

    And I think the Danica mention was quite apt. A failed athlete can still generate buzz if they're media-friendly.

    Perhaps, but Danica never had a moment like this in her pedestrian career. A moment where her "return" was highly anticipated and ended in less than a minute. I could be completely wrong, but I think this is going to hurt her image, which will hurt her bottom line. Yeah, she could go to the WWE and be a sideshow, but she'll never have the notoriety she did when this thread was started.

    Mike Tyson still hasn't faded into obscurity, and he got way more high-profile ass-kickings than Rousey has.

    Rousey's already hosted SNL. She's playing with house money from here on out.

    From BC: "My meat takes a longer beating than Ronda Rousey."

    But probably not as often.

    I'll never doubt tbf again after seeing that comeback in one minute sharp. ;)

    I'm just remembering how overblown everything became when Patrick switched from IndyCar to NASCAR, increasing its marketing among women, adding new fans, etc., until one thing got in the way: She can't keep up on the track. Now we see the same with Rousey. In a past era, she'd be Anna Kournikouva, no?
