The clock is still ticking until the beginning of Bellator’s second season.  Eight men will compete for an opportunity to square off against the highly ranked and Bellator season 1 lightweight tournament winner Eddie Alvarez.  There were very high expectations for Alvarez going into the first season tournament and Eddie delivered. Alvarez, not known for his submission prowess, steamrolled through all three rounds of the inaugural tournament by submitting Greg Loughran, Eric Reynolds and Toby Imada in succession.   All submissions were by either guillotine or rear naked choke.  Imada returns this year to hopefully avenge his loss to Alvarez…

Most college basketball fans would not describe the Butler Bulldogs vs. Duke Blue Devils as their dream match-up for the NCAA title game. However, this game was anything but disappointing!. This match-up speaks to how close these so-called mid-major programs are to the traditional power houses of college basketball. This game didn’t feature any one-and-done players and also didn’t feature any future NBA superstars. People like to classify this game as David vs. Goliath; I like to classify it as a sign the times have changed. What allowed Butler to play such a competitive game? Can Butler make it back…

Most of you don’t know it but April Fools is my favorite holiday each year.  I posted an April Fools joke article this past Thursday as a fanpost on MMAforreal.com and it garnered a little steam.  I had so much fun with it that I’ve decided to share it with you here.  Just remember, this article was a joke (but it would be pretty awesome if it was real) Move Over BodybyJake, There’s a New Sheriff in Town Randy Couture has had the workout market monopolized for nearly a year now, but after the Ultimate Fight Night: Florian vs Gomi press…

My routine on the internet includes a look at all the major league sites: NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Well, that usually produces a funny look from me and a minor story idea. However, some days the story ideas are pretty major. Today is one of those days. Here’s the headline amongst the other headlines on NFL.com: Cardinals agree to terms with Feely; Rackers out as Kicker. I know that if you’re a casual sports fan you might not find the signing of a kicker very interesting. I know who Jay Feely is and I know who Neil Rackers is. I…

Its time to start warming up our voices so we can sing “Take me out to the ball game” during the 7th inning stretch. On Sunday, April 4th the Major League Baseball season will get underway when the New York Yankees visit the Boston Red Sox’s. The following day we are slated for tons of great action throughout the league. One of the truly great pastime experiences in America is opening day at the ball park. Peanuts, crackerjacks, hotdogs, and even a fermented beverage if you’re of age only increases the delightfulness of the experience. What are some of the…

Well UFC 111 has come and gone, and all that’s left are the repercussions.  I thought it was a solid night of fights, as always and here are some of the things that have stayed in my thoughts a couple days afterwards. Frank Mir was too overconfident – Needless to say, when your entrance music is “I’m Amazing” by Kanye West, you’d better put on a hell of a show.  Frank Mir did not, it wasn’t even close.  Apparently,  he thought the muscle he’d put on recently would completely nullify the advantage that a fighter like Lesnar or Carwin had…

Selecting an MVP is not an exact science, so there is no guarantee that you’ll make the right pick. Two of the most common ways to make your pick is to select the best player, or subtract the player who is not necessarily the most skilled but most vital to the teams success. For the first time in NBA history the league is opening up the voting to the fans. They can rank their favorites from 1 – 5, the fan ballots will average out and count for one vote. The remaining 124 votes will come from a panel of…

I’ve never been one for mock drafts and I’m not about to start now. I did mention a few “needs” that teams had a few weeks back, but now we’re getting into new territory. With all the upheaval that comes with the offseason everyone starts looking for the “new thing”. To quote my favorite band, Fuel, “It’s the new thing I desire, not the old thing, but it’s for me”. Essentially, that’s code for, “I’ll take anybody with a pulse if I think they’re worth a win or a big play”. They’ll sleep on a cot in their office so…
