I remember he was the among the best referee's in the Dixie circuit which is an unofficial minor league in boxing. For a while when Roy Jones was fighting out of Biloxi the boxing commissions used to import top name referees to work his mismatch title fights against various paper contender...

The NY media is insane with coverage of the 2 NFL teams. I know Rodgers has had the national media following his every move for over a decade but in NY you have that plus 2 sports radio stations, half a dozen papers, multiple tv stations plus local sports cable and to top it off obnoxious super...

This box could buy you an island in the Caribbean I heard the estate of Jeffery Epstien has one for sale at a good price...

It's been close to a million years since I competed in track or tried out for my junior high team(I was a terrible high jumper) but the rule that was adopted since at least the 1920's you can only jump with one leg and the non lead leg has to follow the other leg similar to a dead weight but can...

I remember leading up to the 84' Olympics Polaroid or Kodak had an innovators commercial that saluted Fosbury as an innovator similar to their latest camera. He always had reporters come out of the wood work to interview him but he has largely been out of the spotlight since 68'. Yes the 68'...

These blatant lies are all about money when naive people ask why does it matter if a guy who is 25 lies and says he is 17 and X months or even says he's 18 which is technically an adult he's not hurting anybody. These players are robbing people of spots on these teams but more importantly...

The raw tools are at a minimal there and the strength(you have to wonder if he played rugby at some point). He needs more seasoning I saw an interview with unofficial Matchroom pr man Coogan Cassius and he talked about sparring Carlos Takam and Fisher mentioned how Takam did some wily moves...

For hardcore criminals going both ways in jail isn't viewed as true homosexuality. This scene in the Sopranos talks about getting a pass for AC/DC behavior in jail... That said I would hope I would have the strength to resist frog sex and I'm pretty much certain I could resist it these days...

Another of the Greatest Generation has passed on after the news announced by the Vikings front office. Grant signed up for the US navy after graduating high school and served state side and was coached by the legendary Paul Brown on an armed services football team. Grant is among the few two...

As I said yesterday if a fight is close or the other extreme these public taunts are leaked to the press or now social media so that they can blow up and create hype for the signed bout. This happened back in the King and Arum days and happens now. I can't recall how many times leaked stories...

With all of the historically great New Zealand runners I don't recall one great female world level runner before. I know she made a world semifinal and commonwealth final if she can run times like that against the elite of female sprinting she can make a world final and at the commonwealth...

I remember this well as that class was going to revolutionize the game or so the spin was at the time. But if you look at the style of McNabb and Culpepper it was closer to various White star players than say RGIII or Toucan ever were. I didn't reference Smith as he was so bad he didn't have a...

There isn't one "lock" in this draft to mortgage your future on either the wooden Stroud, the wafish munchkin or Oafdale 2 is a joke but if the new Carolina owner is going to be Dan Snyder II then this will be par for the course. I fully expect Teper to informally adopt whomever is drafted with...

Many times when the camps negotiate through the media the fight is close but is stuck on a money issue or the fight is dying on the vine so to speak. Supposedly Warren quipped that if Usyk didn't take the latest offer he should fight Daniel Dubois for 2 million dollars/pounds. Nobody but...

I think part of the problem for the Jets is that they are forever number 2 in the football market of NYC so they constantly try and make splash moves to get headlines. Most of the time these moves are penny smart and a pound foolish in the long run. Having the power struggle with BB might have...

Chael Sonnen keeps on button pushing he said his PED dealer had Lebron on speed dial too. I found this too funny as Sonnen failed a PED test a few years ago so there isn't any pretense on being "Mr. Clean" on his part at...

Leonhard was in the mix for an NFL coordinator job during the Black Monday coaching musical chairs hiring spree. He may have missed his chair so to speak. As for Ameche he should be in Canton he is on an all decade team and has the famous touchdown to win the "game of the century" and had...

Smith seemed like the classic AA hire who when he was hired was totally incompetent but "had to be hired" for the numbers for tax reasons or to get a government contract and then after 10 years on the job he is now competent. In this modern era of fit or fold in the quarterback musical chair...

Gane really isn't that skilled and is still green similar to Ngannou when he fought Stipe the first time. The UFC tends to rush prospects up the rankings by matching them with limited veterans or former stars who are shot to create hype for a high buy rate PPV. Jones was sporting a dad bod...

It will be interesting to see what Ceccarelli does this outdoor season he could run a sub 10 if he doesn't fade in the last 40 meters. I remember Nagel and he didn't come close to run a sub 10 but in that era far less athletes were doing the still somewhat magical milestone. I find it funny...

His father is a preacher and in between getting suspended for PED tests and being before the courts he reads the good book.

I really don't know how good this guy is but as I said before they have blue chip prospects and contenders that are Mexican who the general public have never heard of. If he makes it to the world level he could be nicknamed Canelo 2 or Canelo's Mini...

He claims he "walks with god", while doing that he has had various brushes with the law including a DUI, a sexual assault of a strip club waitress and another DUI. What would he be like if he wasn't walking with god? Note he has had 2 failed PED tests and has been all around pain in the ass to...

It was welcome to big time boxing for Balogun as he seemed to shade the first with amateur style boxing but Gassiev nailed his chin with a vicious counter right in the second round and the American couldn't beat the fairly long count as the referee seemed to delay the 10 count by half a second...

Gassiev fights in Armenia tomorrow afternoon??? He weighed in at 238 and change and Balogun was 239 and change. Balogun while a former NFL washout isn't the typical musclebound celebrity boxer type he is the boxer who stopped Trey Lippe-Morrison about a year ago so he is dangerous but Gassiev...
