Yes if he struggles or shockingly loses the GGG fight will be off. I think this is why Lemieux is on the under card as he is a backup plan for Golden Boy. PS if Jr. can pull off the huge upset I suspect GGG will have no problem facing Jr. at 164 as he always wanted this fight at this weight but...

Times have changed I recall late season pennant race games where opposing players had batteries tossed at them from the stands and the players wearing helmets in the outfield. I seem to recall Dave Parker having an ugly incident in an opposing city (maybe Philadelphia) where he pointed out an...

Shaheen while not classically handsome is no uglier than the average player. Maybe his build could be called that but even that is a stretch. If Shaheen was classified as a minority(he has distant Arab ancestry) this story would be a non starter. Ps if Shaheen is Frankenstein what is Terrell...

Many of these guys in the power positions are physically too big for the average college starter(even in the power conferences), but once they make the NFL can't use their size upon stronger more athletic opponents. See various sumo defensive tackles or offensive tackles or guards. Also some...

Well if the unbelievable Flo Juice 10.49 bites the dust or has some sort of asterix beside it I don't have a problem with that. Similar to the few Eastern Bloc records still on the book. I do have a problem with athletes like Edwards who has no links to PED's not even any innuendo about their...

Usually class and skill beat pure strength. So I see Canelo cutting down Jr at some point in the middle to late rounds. Jr has been monkeying around with his body for years with narcotics, booze and yo-yo dieting. This could weaken him as he comes into the fight at weight he hasn't fought at...

Trey Lippe-Morrison is a good 3 years away from realistically fighting in an eliminator or getting a title shot at even a splintered title. He's still fighting 8 round fights against journeyman and novice prospects.

Prescott Line hasn't been invited to a camp yet. On the unofficial draft ratings(which seems to be the bible for drafting) he was the third rated fullback. It seems like fullbacks have been further downgraded as only 2 were drafted this year.

This tradition started when the draft had at least 14 rounds and that class of player really had no shot of making a roster. These days with 7 rounds many quality players never get drafted and the last guy is still a very good player who probably wont have to be rushing to Kinkos to mass print...

Both are interesting and the racial breakdown on positions with a moving chart for a 15 year period is fun. I noticed that as of 14' only one White player was playing or played cornerback that season. But just a few years before the number was probably 4 or 5...

This is why you don't have your friend as your chief second. You think Emmanuel Steward would have let Wlad sleep walk in the 7th round. Klitschko's cautious to a fault style bit him in the ass. The only thing I can think of is maybe he was gassed himself when he let Joshua get back his energy...

O'Brien is probably gone after this year. Supposedly he was in a power struggle with the GM and wanted out at the end 0f 16'. There is no way he wanted this quarterback situation with a win now defense.

Yes the Browns are set to make a run at the Indians or god forbid the Cubs run of futility. Kiser wasn't dominant in college how is he going to amount to anything beyond a middling back up type in the pros. Ps the CBS sports dorks made fun of Brady Quinn, if Quinn and Kiser were in a qb battle...

Pete Prisco who is generally pretty orthodox in his views said that he had no position to play and the team was drafting an athlete. He alluded that Peppers could have fallen to a later round and had been drafted as an athlete. I think Garrett has perennial pro bowl potential.

This article is total button pushing. Also I thought the NFL was post racial and being Black had no relevance to playing quarterback.

You beat me to the punch(so to speak). Wlad looked as close to his prime as a 41 year old fighter can be doing pad drills and circling the ring. Of course things are different when an opponent isn't letting you rest and trying to knock you out. But if any poster can afford to spare money for a...

Yes signing a 14 year old is rather stupid no matter how well he plays against his peers. I recall a player on my junior high team who was 5' 10" and played center, he wasn't very good but was HUGE. By the time he was a senior in high school he was neither tall nor large girth wise as he never...

This is a crowded backfield. I suspect somebody is going to be shipped off or cut. This backfield is the kind of backfield that you saw on run first powerhouse teams like the Lombardi Packers. For the pass first Patriots quite a few backs will be pulling splinters out of their backside.

Joshua seems to fight with one gear and has a build similar to Frank Bruno who used to fall apart late in fights because of excessive muscles he carried on his frame. But Wlad is 41 and out for a year and a half, So who knows if he can take advantage of these flaws. PS. don't let the odds fool...

This tragedy happened to friends of my family 40+years ago but their son lived. Needless to say he was never the same again and died about 10 years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with Heap family.

I got news for you she could win a small city championship for a male, that time is cooking for a female athlete.

Yes the crypt keeper died yesterday. I always tried to figure out what was going on in the head of Rooney. Maybe he was told stories on the knee of his father or grandfather about discrimination of Irish people by Anglo-Saxon employers(it didn't happen to him). Maybe it was guilt about being...

I find Usyk has a bit of Ali in his fighting style. He seems to toy with guys that he feels he can beat. This style can bite him in the ass against a tougher challenger. When I talked about guys that could have been champions in an earlier era for cruiserweights, Hunter is a guy who could...

As far as I can tell Whites have all the major belts now. Lebedev is still the WBA champion(Shumenov is the regular champion), Gassiev is the IBF and the two fighters you mentioned are both champions. As for Breidas his skills look decent but you would have had to favor a prime Huck to chop...

I guess it's official his Quadroon son is officially Black... If his son wasn't a brick mason in the Kentucky game they either advance in that game or a lose a closer classic thriller type game. Somebody in his rec league game needs to elbow Ball Sr in the throat until his eyes water.....
