However, when he finally had enough and snapped back at the interim heavyweight champion, it proved to be a massive error on his part. In an attempt to get under Aspinall’s skin and dismiss his legitimacy, Jones said the 31-year-old would never win as many championships as him. He claimed that no matter how much trash he talks, he will never…

While Bradley Whitford preempted his absence from the evening,…

Zoologist Bill Schutt says teeth are a key reason why vertebrates have flourished. (Opposable thumbs are pretty neat, too, says this primate.)
