I See London, I See France…
On May 26, 2010 at 7:15 am
Well, it’s only Round One of the French Open and already some of us are embarrassed to be Americans over here. Whistles and whispers circulated through the stands at Court Suzanne Lenglen, with the fashion malfunction of Venus Williams. That’s right, I said fashion malfunction… This is no unintended wardrobe malfunction. Nope, this is a [...]

On May 25, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Hell has frozen over. Or at least, East Rutherford New Jersey has. In February 2014, the site of the Super Bowl will be played in the shadow of New York City. The NFL owners voted today to award the Giants & Jets new home the half-billion dollar bonanza. Today’s New York Post called it The [...]

On May 21, 2010 at 6:52 am
Quarterfinals have officially commenced; our season’s wild card gimmick has come full circle, resulting in Court McGee’s return to the Octagon. It’s now official that TUF 1 contestant Chris Leben will touch gloves with Aaron Simpson in the Ultimate Finale. What is in store for us this week other than Kyacey receiving news of his [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 7: Coming For Blood
On May 17, 2010 at 7:19 am
Last night, at the time of this writing, was by all accounts one of blasts from the past. Former TUF coaches Sugar and Rampage – in the first televised episode of “Primetime: Evans-Jackson” – immediately followed an Ultimate Fighter episode of wildcard combatant mania. Two empty spots exist to be filled, and our resident GEICO [...]
What’s Next for King James?
On at 6:47 amAfter the Celtics dismantled Cleveland last night you could sense that Lebron’s bags were packed. He would probably have his house for sale too if it wasn’t so obnoxiously big he can’t even get decent resale value for it. There are die hard Cleveland Cavalier fans crying all over Ohio because they are sure their native [...]
Update: Tennis’s 2010 Grand Slam Standings
On May 13, 2010 at 7:06 am
The tennis season isn’t really a season at all. It stretches throughout the year (often to the detriment of injured players, who never seem to have sufficient time to heal), and it is based around four Grand Slam tournaments. Sometimes called The Majors, these tournaments are: The Australian Open Tournament Dates: January 18–31, 2010 Melbourne [...]
Tim Tebow, Just What the Doctor Ordered
On May 7, 2010 at 7:03 am
Tim Tebow according to many media outlets has the number one selling jersey in the NFL. Granted its only been one month of selling the jersey but nonetheless he reins supreme. The question is why? Why has Denver’s #15 Jersey sold more than Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Su, or Dez Bryant? Most experts insist that Tebow will [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 6: Did Your Dizzle
On at 6:33 am
ICE is tearing through Las Vegas like a blizzard, to punish the Huntington Beach Bad Boy and send him where he belongs. But he’s not going to be thrown out in a citizen deportation every bit as fictitious as those under SB1070. No, far worse is in store for the coach of Team Punishment. His [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 5: If It Breathes, It Bleeds
On April 29, 2010 at 7:03 am
The 3-1 Team Punished may just stand to cede its coach’s Ultimate Finale meet-up-beat-up owing to the very real possibility of Tito’s being cut from the UFC, but are we witness to the beginnings of a comeback? Will the furies of insult, injury and humiliation switch targets, to head down Team Liddell’s throat like three [...]
Parcbench’s Guide to the Kentucky Derby 2010
On April 26, 2010 at 10:11 am
It’s Kentucky Derby time again. Held on the first Saturday in May, the one and a quarter mile Thoroughbred contest is the most prestigious horse race in the world. But it isn’t only about the horse racing. You don’t have to go to Churchill Downs, Kentucky to enjoy the atmosphere of what is called “The [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 4: Clown Box
On April 23, 2010 at 6:32 am
Now that I’m back home after another day on the road, and pumped up after watching Forrest Griffin’s five rounds on Unleashed, I might as well say what I’ve been thinking for the past week: Y’all strap yourselves in and get ready to fly. This is going to be one hell of a crazy episode, [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 3: A Lotta Heart
On April 16, 2010 at 7:22 am
If my gut feeling is anything to go by, we’re being prepped to watch the Ultimate Fighter house undergo its own surgical procedure mere days Thiago “Pitbull” Alves had surgery of his own to seal a hole in his head. From the looks of it, no one in the house expected a sudden departure. Will McKinney come [...]
Watch out for this guy.
On April 9, 2010 at 7:39 am
by Sid Bridge, APR He’s taking the boxing world by storm. He’s a world authority in martial arts. He’s a badass Israeli. I had the pleasure last week of double-dipping in my capacity as Marketing Director for a fitness facility and PR guy for a boxing promoter to be involved in two local appearances for [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 2: Suck It Up
On April 8, 2010 at 7:53 am
Take an afternoon on the road, throw in two cups of Coke and three cookies. That’s pretty much been my day up until now. But add to that an hour spent in front of the TV with a heavy load of hand-to-hand combat, cook at four hundred and seventy five degrees in the explosive flames [...]
McNabb move good, Willie Parker not so much
On April 7, 2010 at 7:54 am
Donovan McNabb has been shipped to the Washington Redskins. Being a life-long Skins fan, I am excited to finally have a quarterback. Even when the Joe Gibbs-led Redskins were winning Super Bowls, their QBs were suspect. Of course they had Joe “worst announcer ever” Thiesmann, but outside of that, they pieced together Super Bowl wins [...]
