    Heisman Trophy Presentation

    So enough voters didn't buy into the T'eo hype and a more deserving candidate won. How to explain this, other than the seductive effects of a cool nickname? Or maybe enough of the voters had watched Johny Football play and based their decision on the merits of his game. Thus surprising The...

    Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko.

    I've been tired of both these guys for a while, but you know what this means. I can see it now. "Rematch for Redemption" or something like that. Sweet KO though.

    Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko.

    "a whole pile of illegal mexicans" LOL. Reminds me of a joke. Why were there a hundred Mexicans at the wedding? They only had two cars.

    Heisman Trophy Presentation

    With so many Heisman's being either black or white, I can't see this chance to pick an "other" being passed up by the voters. Especially with all the other candidates having off games on their records. So the multi-culti conditioning kicks in, the Islander wins, and the Chris Matthew types get a...

    Language lovers?

    I know a few German phrases from my time over there, such as "one beer please" "hello my sweetheart" "what's up" and stuff like that. I'm about half fluent in Spanish, try to study it every day, read it quite well. I also speak passable English.

    Animal Rights Activists Want NRA Labeled ‘Domestic Terrorist Group’

    Seems with Obama's big win, the crazies feel emboldened to come out of the woodwork with all sorts of crazy stuff. I'm getting to where I don't even want to be in the same country as these weirdos. It would be messy, but maybe this country should break up. Then these fruitcakes can go over there...

    Wladimir Klitschko - Mariusz Wach, Nov 10, 2012

    I had watched a couple earlier Wach fights and felt he was just too skinny to take Vlad's power. Then he shows up for their fight much sturdier looking. I figured maybe he had just filled out, but looks like he had some help. This little turn of events also adds a little perspective to Wach's...

    NFL Week 13

    Yeah Kaepernik seems to be a decent kid, and I normally don't like to root negatively, but in this case I must, because of the rotten treatment of Alex Smith, and got a real kick out of the blown option play. That close to your own endzone. I mean, what could go wrong? With the Smith/Kaepernik...

    NFL Week 13

    Their coaches are killing the 'niners (too bad huh?). Backed up near the goal line late in the game they call an option play, and the rookie screws up the pitch to help the Rams tie the game. Turned out to be more of an oooops!tion play. I guess they were hoping Kaepernik would keep the ball and...

    Tyson Fury

    Johnson is a guy who just doesn't get knocked out, and in the end that will probably be his only claim to fame, especially if Fury goes on to greater things. As far as nationality, I've heard some say that Fury is of Irish Traveller descent. They are an interesting bunch of people who are known...

    NFL player Jovan Belcher kills girlfriend and self

    There's already a thread on this in the NFL forum. You might want to post this link in that thread.

    Tyson Fury

    This fight snuck up on me. I like Fury and hope he wins but wouldn't be surprised if he has problems with Johnson's boxing skills. One thing I like about Fury is he never seems overawed by any situation. He'll go in there relaxed and just give 'er a go.

    David Price

    I didn't like the way Price neglected his jab and Skelton was able to close with him. He needs to work on that. Price did show he can take something of a punch though.

    Sup Dawg

    I wouldn't be surprised. Feelgood stories gone bad are right up (or down) there with hate crime hoaxes. A follow-up story might find the guy traded the nice new boots for some crack. 'Tis the season.

    2012 Fired Coaches

    Tedford started out as a miracle worker. He really turned Cal (usually a mediocre program) around his first few years. There was even talk of an NFL job. I know the last few years he hasn't been able to find a good QB, and that certainly didn't help.

    Chandler Parsons

    I remember Parsons going into an NBA combine as something of an unknown, and leaving an impression on the attendees. Good to see him establishing his game in the NBA. Need more like him.

    Kelly should go in as the underdog. Kind of like he did against Taylor, right?

    HBO's Great Black Hopes

    Seems not that long ago HBO was trying to sell Berto as THE next big thing in boxing. What a bunch of ass clowns.

    Ricky Hatton Comeback (Vs Vyacheslav Senchenko)

    I had to go somewhere after the fifth and left thinking that Ricky was on his way to a win, but he must have slowed down, then got caught. From what I saw he looked okay, but at his age it's hard to sustain the effort. Best of luck to Ricky in whatever follows.

    Ricky Hatton Comeback (Vs Vyacheslav Senchenko)

    It seems the heavyweight fighters can lay off that long, but the lighter weight ones are less succesful at coming back. My guess is Ricky loses and badly. If he does he should take the hint and hang 'em back up.

    NFL Week 12

    Abolutely. I've noticed a significent drop-off in the caste speak and denigration of white athletes in the last couple years. It's as if memos and e-mails have gone out from higher-ups. Not saying they did, but it's as if they did. Or somehow some broadcasters took a chance and read some of the...

    NFL Week 12

    That's a little harsh. No need to call the guy names, it's not his fault he had a favorable match-up. You take what you can get in life, and that's what the guy did. And he's no threat to JJ Watt.
