Lights Out, Lights Out

29 Aug

Randy Couture, proving that a boxer has absolutely no place in the world of mixed martial arts, submitted James “Lights Out” Toney 90 seconds into their bout.

Lights out, lights out.

Hopefully Mike Tyson – who Dana White appears to be courting – will get the picture and avoid humiliating himself.

Tiger Chokes Again

29 Aug

"I am strong."

Tiger Woods choked again yesterday.  After one good day of golf (the first round), followed by another crappy one, Woods set out in the third round to prove that he still has it.

He promptly, on the first hole, popped up his driver out of bounds, making a triple bogey.

Choked again.  More fodder for the bloggers!

Toney and Slice Switch Fight Sports

27 Aug

James “Lights Out” Toney is entering the octagon for the first time Saturday night against Randy Couture.  Toney is coming in at his heaviest weight ever, at over 230 lbs.  He looks terrible and will likely be chocked out in the first round.

Kimbo Slice announced that he will trying his luck at boxing.  That should work out well, given that he was exposed as having no chin or stamina.

So, the motto of the story apparently is: When you are washed up in one fighting sport, go get knocked out in another.

Espn Claims Strasburg Mishandling Not Nationals Fault

27 Aug

Today ESPN decided to “refute” the claim that the Nationals were, in any way, at fault for Steven Strasburg’s blown out elbow.

Apparently, ESPN would have us all believe that it wasn’t the Nationals fault to let Strasburg retake the mount after injuring his shoulder — where he overcompensated for the injury by putting more pressure on his arm – until his elbow blew out.

Anyone that watched him the first start back from the DL knew that he should be rested.  He wasn’t the same.  Now, look at the results.

Hopefully he will make it back just fine.  Apparenly, 75% of those undergoing “Tommy John” surgery make it back and some are even better upon their return.

Margacheato Pays $20 Fee, Returns to Cheating

27 Aug

After being rejected for a California boxing license, Antonio Margacheato paid a $20 fee to the State of Texas and was reinstated today.

This is not evidence of corruption in boxing.  Cheating is just fine thank you.

For those that don’t recall, Margacheato tried to cheat against Mosley, got caught, then got a beat down.  Most people believe he cheated against Miguel Cotto and did permanent damage to Cotto’s career.

Washington Nationals Trying to Turn Strasburg into Gooden

24 Aug

A Complete Shame (and made my rookie card of him worthless)

Those that don’t remember the past are doomed to repeat it — or something like that.

At 20 years old in 1985, Dwight “Doc” Gooden went 24-4 with 268 strikeouts and a 1.53 ERA.

Strasburg, 22, has now been injured twice.  Maybe the Nats management will get a clue and give him the rest of the year off.  Also, make sure he doesn’t start using blow.  Best to keep him away from the “stuff”.

I suppose the comparison isn’t completely fair.  The Mets completely burned out Gooden’s arm by 22.  The Nats are just getting started with Strasburg.  Still, the multiple injuries aren’t a good sign to start.

Big Shocker: Tiger Divorced

24 Aug

In shocking news today, it was announced that Tiger Woods and his estranged wife Elin Somethingorother were official divorced.

The couple married in October 2004. 

Since then, Tiger was believed to have made putts on virtual every green in the world - irrespective of the type of grass they were growing on it.

Tiger has 14 major wins and has had sex with porn stars.

Roger Clemens Aims for New Record

21 Aug

You gotta give it to Roger Clemens.  300+ Wins, 4000+ Strikeouts and 7 Cy Young awards aren’t enough for the guy.  Clemens is now aiming to tie the last 30 game winner, Denny McLain’s conviction record.  Like McLain, he claims he didn’t do it.

Favre Unretires For Millionth Time

19 Aug

For at least the millionth time, Brett Favre “unretired” if that is even a word.

Does this surprise anyone?  He can claim he “owed it to the Vikings” – but the reality is he is 3 touchdown away from 500 for his career.  If anyone was him, wouldn’t you at least come back to throw three more touchdowns?

Welcome back Favre.  Madden players everywhere are sooooo glad you didn’t f*ck their Vikings squad and stick them with the other dudes (sorry, can’t remember the names).
