Shane Carwin has risen to the #1 heavyweight contender spot in the UFC  but due to the recent illness of Brock Lesnar,  Carwin has been left hanging without an opponent.  Although several strokes of bad luck have thrown up huge road blocks in Carwins quest to be the UFC heavywight champ, Carwin’s attitude remains positive and he seems to accept the realities of the situation he is in.  Carwin has shown good sportsmanship and exceptional character in his good will toward Lesnar in wishing him a swift recovery.  It is also apparent that Carwin would like to take the belt…

Heading into the 2009-10 NBA season it seemed like the league was going to be a little too predictable. We knew who the best teams were (the Lakers, Spurs Cavs, etc.) and who the best players were (LeBron, Kobe, Dwight Howard, etc.) but only three weeks into the season, there have already been some unexpected stories, starting with: Brandon Jennings: It was hard to know what the Bucks were getting when they took Jennings 10th overall in this year’s draft since he opted to play in Europe for a year rather than attending college, but it appears they have the…

America’s original favorite pastime sport of baseball, is batting its way to the first base of sports news. MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig, is tightening the jock straps on the post-season schedule. He seems to think, that there is too much off-time between post-season games. Scott Boras is blasting MLB owners for cutting their payrolls. According to sources, most teams have between $80-$90 million dollars per year, before ticket sales. Mike Scioscia and Jim Tracy have been chosen as 2009 Managers of the Year. Scioscia for the (AL) and Tracy for the (NL). Who will win the 2009 Cy Young Award?…

Jamarcus Russell former starting QB for the Oakland Raiders has been struggling with his on-field athletic performance, since, he was drafted into the NFL. The recent decision to bench him has caused many to ask and wonder…. what was the delay? Russell has earned a shameful position in the NFL QB rankings as having the second worst winning percentage and pass completions of a QB in the league. Matthew Stafford is even more shamed with the #1 worst ranking. He earned it with a 2-32 winning percentage, extremely minimal pass completions and passing rush yards for 20 yards or more.…

Now, before you starting thinking I am a crazy, vampire Twilight movie fan – stop! I am actually a football fan, too. I’ve read some of the posts here about NFC or AFC and thought this post of Twilight movie star Kristen Stewart throwing a football. Some of you can’t stay up late and watch the late, late shows on television. That said, the other night Jimmy Fallon welcomed Twilight’s leading lady – Kristen Stewart. After an appearance on Jay Leno – Taylor Lautner mentioned that Kristen has quite a throwing arm. Then, on Jimmy Fallon’s show – Jimmy tests her skills in…

Boxers wear sweat vests or even full body suits to lose water weight for their weigh in before a fight, but are they beneficial for you or me? If you do not mind sweating a great amount, sweat vests are useful. Remember, it is water lost not fat, although the body does heat up a great amount so a substantial calorie burn encounters the body. When the pores are open, the body acts like a sponge, can absorb toxins and also release them through the lymph glands. Whether specialized suits are purchased, sweatz vest, or simple plastic or bin liners…

If, like me, you train at a normal gym like FitnessFirst, and not one of those special bodybuilding gyms, then you must of noticed by now that a lot of the idiots there don’t train their legs, and just work on their upper-body. I mean, sure you see people on the treadmills, but when do you see people do squats? You just don’t. I often see guys with huge upper torsos, and then weed-like legs. So many excuses have been created for this, including: -’My legs are fine.’ -’I run on the treadmill to train my legs’ -’Squats hurt my…

As I closed my college picks last week I said “Notre Dame still sucks!” and with that proclamation I had no idea that ND would actually get worse, but they did.  Now the Golden Domers, appalled over another bad loss, are considering getting rid of Weis (a.k.a. Fat Bastard) and paying him that ridiculous buyout.  (Yes, I think he eats babies!)  Besides the fact that they were dumb enough to give it to him in the first place I’d say that the $18 million they would owe him is prohibitive on all fronts. Just think about it for a second. …

5.  The WEC always delivers: World Extreme Cagefighting is one of those organizations that never fails to bring the excitement.  They only have three weight classes, 155, 145 and 135 and it’s a known fact that lighter weight classes = more exciting fights.  These guys are like energizer bunnies, they hardly ever gas and they go at each other for 15 (or 25) minutes straight if need be.  Every single WEC event in the past 6 months has provided a fight of the year candidate (Brown/ Faber 2, Torres/ Mizugaki, Cerrone/ Henderson, etc).  If you love great fights, you’ll love…

Note: This was slated to go up Saturday, but inclement weather and a busy schedule postponed it. My apologies on that front. So, the other day, we spun around the AFC at the midway point and gave a quick synopsis of what’s happened, an overall grade, and their potential for the second half. I’m sure that the two Browns fans in the world left will be steamed about the F- I gave their franchise, but I’ll be honest. I only gave them a F-, because you can’t give them anything lower…like a Z. With that said, let’s get cracking on…
