Thursday, August 21st, 2008Where do these people come from? My advice would be to beg Georges to just scrape the little Hawaiian version of the “Pillsbury Doughboy” off his shoes and wait until HE feels like fighting the little budha boy on his own terms. Why do Baby Jay any favors when he makes demands like a spoiled […]

We still (think we) know that Bonds can swing a baseball bat and do so in a limited role as a DH. Can Ortiz beat anyone that’s […]

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008October 25th in Chicago. Pick the description that best fits your initial reaction to hearing this news: a) This will be a really good, exciting, competitive fight. b) This could be a real snoozefest and lose the audience in a hurry. c) Tepid reaction… don’t really care either way.

Defending the concept of WAMMA
Sunday, August 17th, 2008“Big” John McCarthy does his best to support WAMMA here, but misses one point when he claims that all promotions outside of UFC want to support WAMMA champions. That point? The promotions aren’t supporting the true spirit of the concept, given that every promotion has their own title belts and the two major promotions in […]
