Dr. Jesse Haggard, a doctor who had received training from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, announced that he would plead guilty to federal drug charges. He is the final person in the 12-defendant case tied to the Applied Pharmacy Services involving the illegal distribution of anabolic steroids and growth hormone. One of the 12 defendants pleaded guilty, a judge acquitted a second, a jury convicted five others, and four defendants were found not guilty. He will plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute steroids and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Under the terms of his plea agreement prosecutors will recommend…

So, the Lakers and the Heat were tangling the other day and the Lakers were down pretty much most of the game. The game went into overtime and Twitter exploded with tweets of every kind talking about the game. Some guys were going nuts that the Lakers might lose. Others were going crazy because the Heat might win. Me—I wasn’t THAT concerned. I started yapping: let’s reserve the smack talk for the #lakers until the playoffs when it really matters Then I took a shot across my bow that really made me think: Lets hope the Lakers keep playing like…

The NFL off season is like a dog fight, Michael Vick please excuse the analogy. So many teams have a short period of time to bulk up their roster and try to make the team as competitive as possible. The teams that are always the most successful are the teams that live by high risk, high reward. Great teams draft well and let their over valued free agents leave. Just look at the Pittsburg Steelers, for years they have been letting players go like Hugh Hefner sends away cheap women. The Vikings have paid a visit to their prize diva…

We have officially entered the “uncapped” trade waters. The winds of cash are blowing every which way in the NFL and some teams are about to get themselves into trouble. I think I’ve got the 5 scenarios that illustrate why this can turn out really badly. Not because people won’t get paid, but because it will lead to a lockout. Yes, the “cash winds” are blowing, but they are blowing the owners right out of the water. We could talk about the “action” but what we really need to talk about is how badly this can go–I know, I’m not…

WEC 47 has come and gone and it really blew me away.  Here are a few of my post event thoughts on what I witnessed last night… Ted Nugent has some magical power – My friend Phil actually turned to me as Benavidez walked to the cage and said he was going to win by choke.  He may not know much about MMA, but he’s a huge Ted Nugent fan and he remembers what Randy Couture did at UFC 109.  This was the second time in a month that a fighter used “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent as their entrance music…

After a compelling night of fights from the incredibly talented fighters of the WEC, I’m once again thankful that I didn’t make any pre-fight predictions.  This was most certainly the night of the underdog, especially on the main card as 4 of the 5 favored fighters went down, some in dramatic fashion. The main card opened with a lightweight fight that was expected to be a showcase of the talented Armenian prospect Karen Darabedyan against WEC veteran Bart Palaszewski.  At first, Darabedyan looked like he had earned the hype as he beat back Palaszewski standing, got him against the cage…

The MMA world is just beginning to sizzle as we enter March.  With the major promotions having multiple cards loaded with title fights, stacked pay per views and even a big CBS show on the way, some might have overlooked WEC 47 today in Columbus, Ohio.  I certainly did not.  The WEC always delivers and these little guys are ready to entertain you once again.  There are plenty of very interesting questions that are going to be answered tonight, and plenty of solid MMA stories to be made.  Here are my top 4. Zuffa Returns to Columbus – For the…

Finally, I’ve seen the face of reason. Jake Delhomme has been cut by the Carolina Panthers to allow Matt Moore to become their new starter. I was beginning to think that Jake Delhomme was going haunt me well into my 40’s with his horrific play on a fat contract. Alas, the Panthers finally got smart! In the opposite spirit, the Detroit Lions signed Nate Burleson to a 5-year deal to draw him away from Seattle. Personally, I’m not sure what the Lions plan on doing with Burleson, but I’ve got some ideas. Oh, and the Chargers were dumb enough to…

Soy is touted as a wonder food, and it’s in just about everything these days.  So what’s my beef, you ask?  Well, I have lots of issues with your “wonder food”, and I wanted to let you know some of the facts!  Myth Versus Fact Myth: Asian people have eaten soy for thousands of years, and that they have lower instances of breast, prostate, and uterine cancer because of it. Fact: Soy has only been cultivated for about eight hundred years.  Of course that’s a long time.  However, only in times of extreme famine was it eaten as a staple.…

In just under four years, Arsenal have had to deal with three of their key players suffering from broken legs due to aggressive challenges from other teams. How can that just be coincidence? Even after the Eduardo tragedy (in which he returned to play football, and he was better after breaking his legs somehow), people still thought of Arsenal’s injury record as nothing more than bad luck. But no other club has suffered as many injuries as them. There’s a huge amount of different arguments for this, but regardless, all three incidents, in my eyes, have been overly aggressive during…
