It was quite a situation this afternoon.  On the phone via conference call, four fighters who were about to challenge for two Strikeforce championships.  Nick Diaz and Marius Zaromskis for the welterweight title and Chris “Cyborg” Santos and Marloes Coenen for the lightweight women’s championship.  There were members of mmajunkie, USA Today, Sports Illustrated….and me, a 24 year old college kid with no true professional sports journalism experience simply thanking my lucky stars I was given the opportunity to participate. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start when the conference start was delayed 15 minutes.  I had…

The Atlanta Hawks were down 4 points with 10 seconds to go against the Phoenix Suns when Jamal Crawford began to wave his magic wand… The Hawks got within 2 points after Amare Stoudamire hit only 1 of 2 foul shots, and Hawks coach Mike Woodson called a timeout.  He aimed to draw up a play for an easy basket.  If you’re not into basketball let me explain: When you’re down 2 points the other team is deathly afraid to foul you because they don’t want to give you a 3-point play as you go to the basket.  Well, Mike…

Strikeforce is showing up in Miami on January 30th with a pretty cool schedule of fights, two of which are title fights. Nick Diaz  (20-7-1) vs Marius Zaromskis (13-3) for the Strikeforce Welterweight Championship Nick Diaz, a former IFC and WEC welterweight champion, is a very dangerous BJJ practitioner who trains out of Stockton CA, under Cesar Gracie.  While his submission skills are top notch, Diaz often TKO’s his opponents via punches and can not be underestimated in the stand game.  Diaz has been known to train his boxing with Olympic Boxing Gold Medalist Andre Ward.   Further more, it is…

Spike TV will be airing the first of a three part UFC Primetime Series on March 10th at 10:00 PM.  The series will feature Georges St. Pierre, who is the current UFC welterweight champ and arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world, and Dan Hardy, the man who will be attempting to steal his glory at UFC 111. The program was produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship and is expected to give an inside look at each fighters life  and training regimen, and of course pump up and promote the fight as well.  The series is expected…

I had the “worst of the worst” weekends making NFL picks, and the most disappointing of those failed picks was the Cardinals’ painful death at the hands of the New Orleans Saints. I was hoping for a good performance from the Cardinals, but when I began to live blog the game on Twitter… …and Tim Hightower ran the ball 70 yards on the Cardinals’ opening play for a touchdown. I tweeted my excitement very quickly: “anyone want to admit i was right about tim hightower?” It All Went Downhill Fast I have to say that I’m surprised the Saints scored…

Unless you were living under a rock last year, the UFC rocked the video gaming world with the release of UFC Undisputed 2009.  The game featured over 80 fighters and was the most intense and realistic mixed martial arts video game ever made.  EA Sports has already announced they are making their own MMA game and it will have to compete with the UFC franchise.  The UFC has been pretty tight-lipped about the production of the new 2010 game but today they released the most important part of the game.  The fighter roster. New fighter additions to the game are…

In college we only had about sixty channels and no program guide, so when you found something interesting, you usually settled there. My memories of freshman and sophomore years of college consisted of Iron Chef (on Food Network), Cristina (on Univision), and World’s Strongest Man. I realize that not all of America is terribly familiar with strength athletics. I wanted to provide a quick primer on the events so that next time you’re channel surfing and see World’s Strongest Man on ESPN, you’ll know what the guys are doing, and hopefully stop and gawk at their superhuman strength. History of…

Picture it, the Loskop Dam in South Africa. Wait, you can’t picture it? Well, that’s it right above this text. Stunning, no? Tell me you don’t want to be there right now! OK, now that we’ve established that Loskop Dam is a place of unparalleled beauty, I’d like to remind you that it’s also full of wild animals. Hippos, crocodiles, and rhinos reign, along with the other exotic creatures you imagine seeing on the savanna. This isn’t Walt Disney World’s Kilamanjaro Safari people, these creatures are powerful and close at hand. So are these creatures: The first annual Axio Labs…

We’re working hard to make this site more useful to you – and I’m sure you have already noticed a few changes around here. Things could get messy while we work out the kinks, but it shouldn’t be long before all our ducks are lined up and ready to play. We will break the site, we will stuff it to the brim, and in the end we hope to make SteroidsLive everything you want and need. We’re not just going to cover sports anymore – we’re going to help you become an athlete while also keeping you up to date…

8 teams are playing for 4 spots in the AFC and NFC Championship Games on January 24th.  Don’t you want to know who’s going to win?  I promise to tell if you can stick with me through my unorthodox reasoning! My colleague Tony also has his picks coming for this weekend and in briefly discussing the games we managed to disagree on 75% of this weekend’s matchups.  It just cracked me up to see two completely different opinions “in house”.  I guess that’s why we play the games! I started thinking about this weekend the moment that the Ravens were…
