The Cavs swept their season series with the Lakers, but LeBron says it doesn’t mean anything. Is he being coy or does he actually get it this time? There hasn’t been much of a change in the Top 10—for me—since we last talked about this, but there are some interesting subplots brewing in the NBA. The Suns and Rockets have gone on MONSTER slumps since our last edition and that means there is a place for the Jazz, Spurs, and the Grizzlies. I know it’s complicated, but I can make 11 teams into 10…I promise. Let’s work our way up…

There is a great joke amongst sports fans, especially college football fans that states “Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas.” This joke speaks to the greatness, popularity, and influence that Tebow possesses. Most parents hope to raise a child that projects a similar image to the one Tebow seems to have (I say that with hesitance due to the recent happenings of Tiger Woods). Tebow is known for going on missions to third world countries in the off season, firing up teammates without ever cursing, and most notably saving himself for marriage ( a virgin). It has been confirmed that CBS…

Ask any MMA fan who the best pound for pound fighter in the sport is and two of names that will immediately come up are UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre and UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. St. Pierre’s dominant wrestling and striking have made him one of the best fighters the sport has seen. Silva, who has won 11 consecutive fights, has some of the best muay thai in the history of MMA. This leaves many fans wondering what would happen if the two ever met in the Octagon. 3 Reasons it Will Happen 1. The UFC has done…

When Herschel Walker first announced he was getting into mixed martial arts last September, the MMA community was very openly against it.  Afterall, they had seen the joke that was Jose Canseco fighting in a freak show match against 7′2″  Hong Man Choi at Dream 9 in May.  Hell, Walker was even two years older (47) and he had never fought professionally.  No one was going to take this seriously.  An even better example would be NFL veteran Marcus Jones who appeared on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter this past year.  Jones was only 35 at the time of…

As some of you may know, fighters make money in plenty of other ways than simply getting in the ring. Some do commercials, some open their own gyms, but mostly, fighters get sponsorships. I’m sure you’ve seen the banners hanging behind a fighter while he is being introduced, it’s usually loaded with plugs for other companies. Until recently, it wasn’t uncommon to see “Condom Depot” plastered over the backside of their shorts. One of the main things though, was the walkout t-shirt. Fighters would get paid big bucks to wear an MMA specially designed t-shirt. This is where Nate Quarry’s…

CHICAGO, Ill. – The lightweight division of Bellator Fighting Championships’ upcoming Season 2 tournament continued to take shape today with the addition of Carey Vanier, a former All-American wrestler and student of prominent MMA coach Greg Jackson. Vanier boasts a solid overall professional record of 7-2 (all but one of his wins have come via TKO or submission), but his career has taken on an entirely new trajectory since he began training at Jackson’s Submission Fighting school in Albuquerque, N.M. “That’s when it all started to come together for me,” Vanier said. “To work with a world-renowned trainer like Greg and to…

Don’t we all want to look like this guy? He’s Tony Horton, the owner of Team Beachbody. They have about eleventy jillion workout programs, but their big seller is P90X. I bet you’ve seen the infomercial (and if you haven’t, apparently either you never have insomnia or don’t own a television). The basis is this: You, the average couch potato, can go from flab to fab in 90 days. Ninety days of “extreme” hard work, “extreme” focus, and “extreme” diet change. So does it work? P90X is a “total home workout”. That means that you don’t need to leave the…

I am a HUGE sport enthusiast , and it sometimes can be scary for the people around me. So I decided today I was going to go off topic and vent about this last year in sports for me…… I will take it team by team, and please feel free to comment your views on my teams or even something you want to vent about your team. Sometimes it needs to be said. My sports teams I follow are , in no particular order, Boston Red Sox , Boston Celtics, Chicago Bears, College B-Ball UConn, College Football U of Miami,…

The guys who compete in strongman contests aren’t your average Joe. If you read my piece on the events in strength athletics, you know that you couldn’t just pull a guy off of the street to compete (unless of course he wanted to have a stroke that day). The top five finishers this year put on a great show. There was a pretty big battle for first and second, and for third and fourth places. This year, Zydrunas Savickas won. He edged out Mariusz Pudzianwoski, and I’m not sure any of us saw that coming. Sure Pudz has been battling…

I always liked Greg Gumbel better than his brother Bryant, but Bryant kept it a little too “real” the other day on his show. After Mark McGwire came out and admitted that he used steroids during the 90′s everyone started taking shots at “Big Mac”.  It didn’t get any better when Bryant Gumbel took his “cannon” of a mouth and opened it the other day. The Accusation On Gumbel’s show Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel he read an “open letter” to Mark McGwire.  The letter basically said “I don’t care that you did it and we’re over it.” However, he…
