Another head was rolled yesterday as the Dallas' coach was fired for bullying and using homophobic and misogynistic language, this language directed at players from coaches was quite common place in the NHL and the other 3 leagues until fairly recently. I remember going to a Leaf game back...

His mandatory is this weekend against Pound for Pound top 5 fighter Crawford for the WBO welterweight title, if the "Mean Machine" can win this one he will have lucrative fights in his future. It's a tough assignment but even a spirited loss could bolster his...

I remember years ago Tony McKegney was nicknamed "Suitcase" for being a well traveled journeyman NHL player over about 12 years in the NHL. Zenner could be nicknamed "Travel bag" for his short stays this season. This may be the end of the line for him with his option of going to medical...

This new voting is as strange as ever, Marvin Miller who was long overdue to be in will go in with his urn attending the ceremony and Ted Simmons who never got even 5 percent to stay on the ballot for one year is in. About Mattingly baseball writers seem to punish players that have truncated...

Yes, Ruiz even admitted he "trained himself", the whole 6 month reign was eerily similar to Leon Spinks and Buster Douglas, the only difference was Ruiz had demonstrated he has a better fighting heart than Douglas had and his self destructive behaviour isn't nearly as taxing on the body as...

I don't think this is where the excess weight would show, it' will probably show up in the middle rounds or after a hard round where one guy tries to take out the other guy and the extra weight would hinder his recovery. If Ruiz gets KTFO or rescued by the referee or his corner I expect to...

Well Andy the " Buffet destroyer" Ruiz weighed in at 283 and change for the Joshua rematch and Joshua came into the fight at a Klitschko like 238. While Ruiz did wear a sombrero, kept his shoes, track pants and shirt on that would make him at 281 and change at best, this looks like Buster...

He could have been fired last season when he let an injured Newton cost the Panthers a possible playoff spot. This season in key situations the offense script seemed too predictable for my taste , granted aside from McCaffrey the Panthers have few play makers on offense. It will interesting...

Saban always whining and complaining......

He may get black balled out of the league but he won't get a permanent ban. I know if he tried to influence a game he would be swiftly banned and prosecuted and would do time most likely(unless he ratted on a gambling ring). The NFL has softened their stance on this issue because of the...

While the Badgers are one of the traditional powerhouses in college hockey, Milwaukee has never been seriously considered for expansion or moving a poor attendance team to. I recall somebody saying that the basketball team and a potential NHL team would destroy each others fan base for attendance.

I remember a few years back Metis (Mestizo) fighter Chris Simon called Mike Grier a racial slur after being called a slur himself but the equivalent of a double minor was a national soap opera with Simon being the villain and Grier being the victim. Now we have this and hockey is being dragged...

Yes the CFL had "star" player Ricky Williams put up Terry Metcalf type numbers for a season while was under suspension for marijuana use for it seemed like the millionth time.

The PTB must be targeting hockey at the moment as Bill Peters(Flames head coach) is accused of using a racial slur against a Black player when they were in the minors 10 years ago, why this came up now is beyond me and is not provable either way. If he admitted guilt or there was a recording in...

Do you have a clue if the XFL honors NFL suspensions as Max McCaffrey has a ten game suspension for "drugs", usually if it's PED's that is mentioned but this could be anything from PED's to pot to hardcore narcotics(god forbid). Also the XFL is trying to protect Josh Johnson(yes I know it's...

It's officially on for February the 22nd, the site is still to be determined but Las Vegas and the MGM Grand is the front runner. Wilder has a short window to go back in training and the promotion has to start around Christmas, but the first narrative from the Wilder camp is that Fury was...

Bob Griffin never recovered from his catastrophic knee injury, he also has the same spindly lower body as Jackson. Jackson won't be doing this much past his late 20's and without the running ability then we will see if he can pass efficiently, Bob Griffin couldn't that's why he is a system back...

Is Joey T. out of the closet with his manicured beard and plucked eye brows? He reminds me of this scene........ PS, if Todd Gurley was a race horse he would be taken out behind the barn and taken out of his own misery. He has set back the pay scale for future running back free agent contracts.

Me too, I just prefer that style like Csonka, Riggins, Campbell, Alstott, Okoye, etc. Also they need to get a big bodied handcuff for McCaffrey, Rip is floating around and looked nimble the one season he was a running fullback under McCarthy. The only flaw McCaffrey has is his size, also a...

We talked about this before but he was allowed to grow into his style, his management team literally had him in dark bouts or deep mid card bouts on obscure cable tv for years in tank towns in Mexico and the US. They also hired Shelly Finkel while being a greedy enabler is shrewd when it comes...

I was going to say Nostradamus, did you put any green on the fight? Seriously Ortiz is a dumb ass, unless he was getting tired. Wilder was missing badly all fight and then he landed three range finding jabs and Ortiz stood their like a cigar store Indian begging to be ktfo, funny thing but my...

Brown, Motley, Van Buren were all fullbacks in the classical sense. So were Nagurski, Taylor and Harris who didn't make the final cut. I never thought of Clark as a running back before this list because he was really an option quarterback(similar to the way Lamar Jackson is described), the...

Wilder has only taken on one live opponent that was anything close to his prime as was clearly out boxed but Al Haymon got to the officials to influence them to give "close" rounds to Wilder. Boxing has an unofficial scouting system with gym spies and the word was out that Ortiz was slipping...

I had/have(I think) a decent card collection from the late 70's through early 80's of hockey cards and to a lesser extent baseball cards. The collection of cards is hidden away in my old room in my father's house. At the market peak it was worth a few k retail, but I never sold my collection...

It's fight week and Wilder is "blessing" Luis Ortiz with a rematch for the paper WBC belt. Rematches typically play out with the previous winner beating the losing fighter in a more emphatic fashion than the first time. I expect that this time as Ortiz who is rumored to be in his mid 40's...
