In Stuttgart Germany on Saturday it really looked like David and Goliath. Ruslan Chagaev came in as a challenger to WBA Heavyweight Champion Nikolai Valuev. Chagaev was giving away almost a foot in height and nearly 90 pounds to the seven foot giant.

Chagaev was a heavy underdog, Valuev held a record of 46-0 coming into the fight and in the past he’s used his enormous height and reach advantage to out jab smaller opponents. All the boxing world pretty much assumed that this fight was going to be more of the same, but Chagaev has a history of, not only taking on, but beating bigger opponents. In his amatuer days he was one of the few boxers who managed to beat the 6 foot 5 inch Felix Savon.

Chagaev adopted some unusual training methods in preparation for the fight, including having his trainer stand on a box while sparring to get used to fighting an opponent so much larger.

In the fourth round, the much smaller challenger managed to break inside the champions jab and land several shots. From that moment on Chagaev grew bolder, he continued landing punches and winning rounds, ultimately out-pointing the Russian in a twelve round majority decision.

To the surprise of all, it was a great fight form the opening bell to the final seconds. Neither fighter held anything back in the 12th, knowing that it was going to be close on the scorecards.

Watch some of the action from the toe to toe 11th and 12th rounds as Chagaev out quicks and outwits the much larger champion, earning his slice of the Heavyweight gold in one of the best heavyweight fights of the last year.

The WBC International Super Featherweight Champion Manny Pacquiao wasn’t quite himself in the first five rounds of his bout against his undefeated opponent Jorge Solis.

Manny seemed to be having a lot of trouble adapting to Solis’ unorthodox style, so much so that for a minute I thought the man that I picked as 2006 fighter of the year was going to get handed a defeat.

Until the sixth round that is… at about the halfway point of the sixth Solis caught Manny with and unintentional headbutt that split “Pacman” open over the left eye. Pacquiao decided it was time to turn it into a “slugfest” after the headbutt, he pushed Solis into the corner and uleashed a flurry of brutal punches.

The break between rounds didn’t calm Manny down, he continued to punish Solis through the course of the seventh round and into the eighth. Solis went down twice in the eighth round and stayed down after the second with a little over a minute left in the round.

Pacquiao improved his record to 44-3-2 with thirty-four wins by KO, and Solis unbeaten streak came to an end after 34 fights.

Solis, who must have still been punch drunk after the fight commented that his “wife hits harder than Pacquiao”. I’m supposing that means his wife KO’d him in less than eight rounds?

For all of you that are Pacman fans like myself, here’s a bit of footage of him beating up on some of the best fighters in the world - enjoy:

It’s been thirteen long months since it all began, 395 days of suspected guilt. More than a year of the public suspecting the three young men from the Duke Lacross team of committing the heinus acts of rape, kidnapping and sexual assault.

Now, thankfully, for David Evans, Collin Finnerty, and Reade Seligmann the charges have been dropped. My question is, will these three young men ever be able to get out from under the shadow that was cast over them from a years worth of character damaging exposure in the media.

Attorney General Roy Cooper, who took over the case this January, declared the young men innocent on all charges and described the incident as a “tragic rush to accuse and failure to verify allegations” by Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong. Nifong was charged with ethics violations in January that could result in him being disbarred.

The story was national news and sparked heated debates over race issues and the privilege associated with being an upper level athlete.

The unfortunate witch hunt not only marred the reputations of the three young men and Duke University but cost in excess of three million dollars in unnecessary legal fees.

Despite no DNA evidence connecting any of the young men to the accuser, and the fact that the woman in question had a prior, very similar accusation that resulted in no charges being filed. Nifong overlooked the facts present, reportedly withheld lab results and made despariging remarks about the accused to the media, calling them hooligans and proclaiming DNA evidence would have all three men found guilty.

I don’t believe that allegations of rape or sexual assault should ever be taken lightly. A crime of this nature needs the utmost attention of law enforcement officials, but it’s incredibly unfortunate when an overzealous prosecuter uses such a situation in an attempt to make a name for himself.

Football commisioner Roger Goodell has made his announcement regarding the fate of Adam “Pacman” Jones and it looks as if Mr. Jones is going to be having an extended vacation without pay.

Goodell said in his statement that Pacman’s acitivity was not just an embarrassment to himself but to his team and to the league. Goodell also drafted a letter to both Pacman and the Bengals’ Chris Henry, another NFL wayward soul, in which he stated to both that their off-field activities were detrimental to the NFL and that both players failed to live up to the standards expected form NFL players.

Pacman will miss, at least, the entire “07 season and maybe more depending on the outcome of pending charges stemming from the involvement in an incident in Las Vegas. Jones was said to have been partially responsible for an altercation that ending in a multiple shooting outside a nightclub that left one man paralyzed. Las Vegas Police have recommended that both felony and misdimeanor charges be filed against Jones and a resulting conviction could extended the 23 year old cornerback’s suspension.

Pacman Jones stands to lose well over a million dollars and will have to undergo counseling and perform community service as directed by the NFL judicial committee before he can apply for re-instatement to the league after the “07 season has come to a close.

There has yet to be any reaction from Pacman Jones, who is “chilling out” for a few days so he doesn’t say any of the wrong things to the media as a reaction to the suspension. The Titans organization has stated that they are in support of the ruling.

At thirty seven years of age, Joe Sakic had his best year of producton in terms of offense since the 2000-2001 season. With 100 points by way of 36 goals and 64 assists he led the Avalanche in both categories, so why would he bother retiring?

Joe Sakic could have, very easily, taken a tour of many NHL cities this coming off season, and almost named his price on the free-agent market, after all a good captain is hard to come by and there isn’t a better captain in the League than Joe Sakic. So why did Sakic sign a one year deal with the Avalanche, before even hearing the multitude of offers that would have been made available to him?

In his words, Colorado and the Avalanche are “home”. Sakic was originally drafted by the Quebec Nordiques (the team that later moved and became the Colorado Avalanche) in the first round of the 1987 draft. He played his first game for the team in 1988 and has been an integral part of the organization ever since.

The contracts were Tuesday, just a few days after the regular season ended. The Avalanche failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 1993-1994 season despite an incredible run over the course of the last 20 games of the season.

In ‘07 Sakic had the best of his twleve all-star game appearances, collecting four assists as the elder statesman on the ice

Sakic led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup Championships - in the ‘95-’96 season and again in 2000-2001 and he’ll be entering next season poised to move himself up in the record books. Joe currently sits in ninth position on the all-time points list and tied for fourteenth on the all time goals scored list.

At the mid-way point of the NHL season, I gave some predictions as to what teams would still be on the ice come playoff time - How did I do? Well two out of the three teams I said it would come down to in the East are still with us while the third has packed their bags, and same goes for the West two for three there as well.

I called for the Phoenix Coyotes to come on strong the second half of the season and be a surprise playoff contender, my wife must have slipped something into my coffee before that prediction because the Coyotes finished dead last in the West.

My pick from the East that didn’t make it was a real shocker to me, the defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricaines didn’t make the cut, finishing in eleventh place in the East with only 40 wins.

So, with the final eight set in either conference and the playoffs beginning tomorrow night, here’s what you’re likely to see:

Round on in the East:

Buffalo over the Islanders in five games

Devils over the Lightining in six games

Rangers over Atlanta in six games

Penguins over Senators in five games

Round two in the East:

Buffalo over the Rangers in five games

Penguins over the Devils in seven games

Eastern Conference Finals

Buffallo Sweeps a tired Penguins team to take the Eastern Conference Championship

First Round in the Western Conference:

Detroit over Calgary in four games

Anaheim over Minnesota in five games

Dallas over Vancouver in five games

San Jose over Nashville in four games - that’s right big Joe Thorton breaks out his broom on Peter Forsberg and the Predators

Round two in the West:

Detroit over Dallas in six games

San Jose over the Ducks in six games

Western Conference finals:

San Jose over Detroit in five games

Stanley Cup Finals:

I’m going to stick with my pick from mid-season and say the Sharks beat up on the team with the best record in the NHL in five games. Sorry Sabres but the Cup belongs to Joe Thorton and the Sharks this year!

Matt Serra shocked the world of mixed martial arts Saturday night. In most people’s eyes, the Long Island New York native didn’t stand a snowballs chance in you know where of becoming the UFC Welterweight Champion. St. Pierre is a bigger, stronger and downright scarier fighter, but Serra scored a victory for underdogs everywhere, and he did it convincingly.

The Welterweight Champion came out confident, avoiding punches and throwing kicks. It seemed like everyone was just waiting for St. Pierre to land a powerful shot, put Serra on his back and pound his way to victory. I mean that’s the way we’d seen it so many times before with “Rush”, and this wasn’t even going to be a challenge.

Everyone who knows anything about MMA would have told you last week that this fight was just a workout for St Pierre before he took on a real contender for his title… The problem - no one told Matt Serra that he was a joke, that he was just supposed to lay down for the best welterweight fighter in the world.

Serra took the fight to George St. Pierre, constantly advancing and throwing punches until one hit it’s mark and shook the champion, Serra saw that he’d wounded his prey and went on the offensive landing an endless flurry of powerful punches. Serra ended St. Pierre’s night like “Rush” had ended many other’s nights, early and painfully, but don’t just take my word for it - watch it right here.

All right, the guys at youtube are pretty quick to delete a UFC pay-per-view match, so if you didn’t get it early it’s not here anymore but if you want to see it go to youtube and search for Matt Serra, I’m sure someone else has put the fight up by now and you’ll be able to catch it before it gets deleted again.

UFC, MMA, knockout, George St. Pierre, Matt Serra, ultimate fighting

The time has come again for another jaunt into the world of MMA - UFC 69 “Shootout” is scheduled for Saturday April 7th. The card is full of potentially decent match-ups, but there are three bouts that could end up being wicked in turns of brutality.

The main event pits middleweight champion George “Rush” St Pierre against the Ultimate Fighter reality show winner Matt “the Terror” Serra. Any fight that St Pierre is involved in has the potential to be worth the price of admission alone. “Rush” is an icredible striker with both the hands and feet. Serra is going to be facing a whole different breed of fighter than he’s been accustomed to, I hope he’s done his homework and trained his a$$ off or he’ll be hitting the showers or the emergency room early.

Next on the list of potentially great fights would be another battle of 170 pounders: Diego “Nightmare” Sanches puts his undefeated record on the line against world class wrestler Josh Koscheck. Sanchez has been absolutely mowing down all the top middleweight fighters, but he could be in for a rude awakening against Koscheck. Josh has a ten and one record, and there aren’t many wrestlers in the game as good as “Kos”. The winner of this battle will be in line for a shot at the middleweight title.

Last but certainly not least on the “fights to watch” list is a little jump up in weight to the 185 lb class. Japanese ground and pound specialist Yushin Okami goes toe to toe with Mike “Quick” Swick. Okami, at twenty five years of age, already has an incredible 20-3 record in MMA, but Swick has the power to end a fight with one punch. Swick is known as “Quick” for a reason, he has some of the fastest victories in UFC history including a 22 second knockout of Gideon Ray.

Other fighters one the card that are always capable of putting on a show include: Roger “El Matador” Huerta, Heath “Texas Crazy Horse” Herring, and Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis. You can see the rest of the line up here.

So lay down the loot on Saturday to watch UFC 69 on PPV, but go ahead and check out some free a$$ whooping here first courtesy of the headliner of UFC 69 George “Rush” St Pierre:

Perhaps I’ll be chastised at some point and time for the content of this post, but I really don’t care. I came under a bit of criticism when I questioned all the hub-bub surrounding Reggie Bush and the potential that he accepted gifts while playing college football after I had said I hoped Barry Bonds never broke Hank Aaron’s all time home-run record.

You see comparing the two, for me, is like comparing apples to oranges - sure if Reggie accepted gifts or some cash while he was playing in college he was in direct violation of the rules, but he didn’t hurt anyone and I don’t think “borrowing” a car to use while he was in college gave him an unfair advantage on the playing field.

Barry Bonds, on the other hand… if Barry’s guilty of the accusations against him, he definitely had an unfair advantage on the playing field, I don’t want the history books to be rewritten, I just hope he doesn’t break the record, that’s all. I don’t want to see him thrown out of the game, I don’t want to see him banned from the Hall of Fame, like I said in an earlier entry, Barry is a tremendous baseball player, it’s just a shame that some of his accomplishments will forever be tainted by this whole unfortunate situation, his name would certainly have been in the record books for something without the use of chemical enhancement. But if he did it, in the long run he’s only truly hurting himself, baseball’s reputation will eventually recover after the steroid scandal is over while some of the negative effects of steroids on the body are irreversable and those who abused them will face that burden at some point or another.

I’m also a supporter of Pete Rose, I know that he gambled and he lied about it, but Pete was betting on his own team to win. In my opinion it probably made for some more exciting baseball. In short, he broke the rules and he’s being punished for it, but I think, just like with the Bonds situation, Rose ultimately only hurt himself. Baseball will survive, Pete just lost a lot of money because he was unable to control his habit. Now that he’s done his time I think he should be re-instated and that his amazing accomplishments on the field should be recognized.

If you’ve stuck with me thus far, you may be wondering where I’m going with all this. Well I’m finally going to get to the point -

That’s right - Adam Pacman Jones, professional football’s bad boy is at the epicenter of my point.

There was a recent meeting between Jones and football’s new commissioner Roger Goodell regarding Pacman’s conduct off the field. Rumors abound about the possible length of suspension with lawyers ready to intervene and fight a punishment that they see as too harsh. Unfotunately, we may have to wait as many as ten days, or more before we hear what exactly unfolded during this meeting.

Pacman Jones has only been in the NFL for two seasons, but like the guys mentioned above, he seems to be very talented. That’s where the similarities end. Reggie Bush may have made a mistake and taken something in return for his play during college, Barry Bonds may have made a mistake and taken some performance enhancing drugs during the latter part of his baseball career, and Pete Rose did, admittedly, make a mistake and wager on games while he was still involved in baseball.

Pacman Jones didn’t make a mistake, he’s had more run ins with Police than he’s played games in the NFL. In February, he reportedly incited the situation that resulted in three shootings outside a Las Vegas night club. Pacman Jones isn’t just hurting himself, he isn’t hurting himself at all - he’s hurting others and if this situation isn’t taken care of the NFL’s reputation may not recover. If Goodell let’s Pacman Jones walk away from this type of behavior with a slap on the wrist, what kind of message is that sending to other players. Everyone makes mistakes, only criminals are involved in triple shootings.

Representatives say that Jones is growing up and trying to learn from what he’s done. I hope he is learning, I think he has a great deal of talent and he’s a very entertaining player to watch on the field, but the most recent incident just occurred in February and I would find it hard to believe that Pacman is all grown up already. The commissioner needs to give Pacman the year off without pay, and maybe reccomend some counseling and an evalutaion before he’s allowed to return for the 2009 season. Jones is only twenty three, if he really does get his act together and is able to focus on football on the field and be an upstanding citizen off the field he’ll still have plenty of time for a wonderful career after serving a season on suspension. Maybe, just maybe sending a message of this caliber would help to straighten out some of the NFL’s other player who are headed down the wrong path before it’s too late.

April second marked baseball’s opening day for many Major League clubs, and there were some great matchups, some unlikely occurances and even some tears.

The Yankees trampled the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, no surprises there. Jason Giambi knocked in three runs and Alex Rodriguez got his season off to a bang with a two run home run. But the real story here happened before the game got underway. The Yankees paid tribute to Cory Lidle, who died flying his plane in the offseason. Lidle’s family was on hand to throw out the first pitch in a very emotional kick off to the season.

In the National League, the Dodgers, who are picked by many to win the West, were shocked by Milwaukee. Brewers ace Ben Sheets pitched a two hit gem, it was the first opening day complete game in the last decade and a half.

Adam Dunn crushed two homeruns to power the Cincinnati Reds over the new look Cubs.

It took and extra frame, but the Pirates shocked the Houston Astros taking a win by way of Jason Bay’s two run homer in the tenth.

Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling had a rough outing, giving up a bases loaded walk in the first and hitting the showers in the fourth. This was the first time Schilling hasn’t made it to the fifth inning in a decade and the Sox take the loss 7-1.

And the biggest opening day shock of all - The Phils lose to the Braves in ten.

Edgar Renteria quickly became the Phils opening day nemesis as he pounded a Brett Myers fastball into the seats in the eighth inning to tie the game at three. As if that weren’t enough, Edgar came up to the plate in the tenth and after failing to lay down a bunt to advance a baserunner, not once, but twice - Renteria pounded a Ryan Madsen curveball into the stands giving the Braves a lead they wouldn’t give up. Myers pitched well, only giving up four hits and striking out nine over eight innings, he made a few mistakes and the Braves capitalized. Braves take the opener 5-3.

My beloved Philadelphia Phillies are currently tied for last place in the National League East with the Washington Nationals, but mark my words, this will be the one and only time this season that the Phils will occupy the basement!

The most electrifying man in table tennis, German Timo Boll, had one hell of an April fool’s weekend.

It all began in the team competition where Boll, with his teammate Christian Suss dismantled the team of Lucjan Blaszczyk of Poland and Rui Wu Tan of Croatia in just over ninety minutes to win doubles gold at the Europen Table Tennis Championships. The Germans were in control from beginning to end winning 4 sets to 1.

The men’s singles came down to number one ranked Boll against the number two ranked player Vladimir Samsonov from Belarus. Timo Boll was dominant throughout much of the final, his power just too much for Samsonov to handle.

Samsonov did manage one flicker of hope taking the fourth game, and avoiding a sweep, by winning eight straight points, but Boll came back strong to close the final out, winning four games to one.

I had made the mistake early last week before Michael Phelps got on the block for his first race, saying that he would “probably bring home a medal.” God am I an idiot.

Not only did Phelps bring home a gold in that event, he broke a world record.

Then he went on to win six more gold medals, a total of seven. Along the way the twenty-one year old broke five world records. Seven ties the all-time record for Gold medals in one international event set by American Mark Spitz in the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Phelps stood a good chance of grabbing hold of a new record eighth gold in the 400 medley relay, but teammate Ian Crocker entered the pool too early and caused the American team to be disqualified.

Phelps super human efforts exploded the Americans past the Chinese, past the Austrailians and past the Russians to the front of the pack at the Worlds with 21 golds and 40 total medals.

So yes, I stand corrected in the prediction that the US swim team needed a boatload of practice to be ready for Beijing in ‘08. Apparently they don’t need any practice, they just need Michael Phelps to race every event and they’ll sweep the golds.

Something is amiss in the world of men’s tennis. It all started about two weeks ago with the upset ending to Roger Federer’s 41 match winning streak by “lucky loser” Guillermo Canas in the second round of the Pac Life Open. Number two ranked Rafael Nadal picked up the trophy after number one Federer was ousted, makes sense right.

Fast forward to the Sony Ericsson, Roger Federer meets up with his newly found nemesis again, this time in the fourth round. The second meeting ends like the first, with Federer taking the early train home (see my entry from yesterday for a recap).

This second consecutive unexpected loss to Canas leaves the door wide open for most likely Rafael Nadal, with some potential for Andy Roddick to possibly steal a victory… here’s where it gets even wierder.

Mr. #2, Nadal was to face Novak Djokovic, the same man he cruised past in the finals two weeks ago in the same tournament that Canas had ended Federer’s win streak in. Same result at the Sony Ericsson? Nope, in the second shocker Nadal gets an early exit as well, Djokovic taking the match in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.

All right, number one is gone, number two is gone - time for number three, Andy Roddick, to steal the glory right? - Wrong.

Roddick was facing the other men’s tennis Andy, Andy Murray. It should have been a very close, exciting tennis match. Despite Murray having the edge in career meetings between the Andys this is one I would have expected Roddick to win. I expected him to have new found confidence with Roger Federer out of the picture.

Number three didn’t even make it through set number one. Andy pulled up lame after lunging for a shot in the fifth game. He took an injury time out to try and shake it off and continue. Roddick was forced to call it quits in the eighth game, unable to continue because of his hamstring.

This is bad news not only for Roddick, but for the US Davis Cup team as well. The Men’s team is scheduled to open Davis cup play against Spain April 6-8, though an MRI revealed the injury to not be very severe it will in all likelyhood keep Roddick from participating.

So who wins the Sony Ericsson? You got me, I’d say based on play Novak Djokovic takes the win, but what do I know. I would have told you before play began that Federer was a shoe in after his early exit a few weeks ago. All I know is that the winner won’t be ranked in the top three, at least not at the moment.

I just looked up the name Guillermo in the dictionary - it means giant killer, or so you would think.

For the second straight meeting Guillermo Canas has done the impossible, he’s beaten Roger Federer. It was just two weeks ago at Indian Wells that the Argentine ended Federer’s 41 match winning streak in a second round match. The two met again at Sony Ericsson in the fourth round, and if I were a betting man, I would have bet heaps of money that Roger Fereder would have exacted revenge with severity on Canas - I would have been wrong.

Canas was impressive, his serve was strong, 125 mph strong and he made the plays when they needed to be made.

Roger Federer on the other hand, simply wasn’t himself. He had several chances to turn the match to his favor but simply couldn’t convert. It almost looked as though the recent loss to Canas had gotten into his head. Roger actually missed a shot, not hit wide, not hit long - a full fledged swing and a miss, like a little leaguer taking batting practice against Nolan Ryan:

Roger openly admitted this was a match he never should have lost. I expect a bad day from even the best athletes, Michael Jordan didn’t score double digits everytime he stepped on the court, Tiger Woods doesn’t make every put, but to lose back to back matches to a guy not ranked in the top fifty is very out of the ordinary for even a top ten player, let alone someone the caliber of Federer.

The AP quoted Roger Federer saying of his last two matches against Canas, “I’m not going to play him every week, so it doesn’t matter.” Which is true, but I’d like to see them play again in the very near future to see if Roger can put these two events behind him and get back on track against a guy who’s really taken it to him two matches in a row. I’m sure Federer wants to go down is history as the greatest player to ever play the game, not the greatest player who couldn’t manage to beat Guillermo Canas.

After missing all of the 2006 season with injuries Marshall Faulk made his retirement official in a press conference this week. Faulk is thirty-four years old, and is probably better suited these days for quick comments from the broadcast booth than for the punishment a running back sustains on the grid iron.

Marshall was, without a doubt, one of the greatest football specimens to ever set foot on the field. I think that recent performances by the likes of LaDanian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson, coupled with Marshall’s sub par 2005 and the fact that he sat out last year are keeping that fact from some fan’s minds.

Let’s take a look at some of the rediculously incredible accomplishments of Faulk’s career:

- He is closing his career in the top ten rushers of all time with over twelve thousand rushing yards.

- He’s number four all time in yards from scrimage with over 19000 total yards.

- He holds the single sesaon record for yards from scrimage with 2429

- He’s in the top ten all-time with 100 rushing touchdowns

- He’s ranked number four all-time with 136 total touchdowns

- He’s a multiple MVP winner, and a seven time Pro-bowler

Marshall Faulk began his illustrious football career in 1994 in Indianapolis and played five impressive seasons with the Colts. In 1998, as a Colt, Marshall had over 2000 yards from scrimage, but it wasn’t until 1999 after he was traded to the Rams that Faulk proved himself to be the most dangerous offensive threat in the game.

In his first season with the Rams, behind an undrafted, unproven quarterback in Kurt Warner, Faulk broke 1000 yards rushing and 1000 yards receiving. The following season Faulk had over 2000 yards from scrimage again and scored 26 touchdowns, which was a record at the time. Faulk led the Rams to two Superbowls in his tenure in St. Louis, bringing home the trophy in 2000 (1999 season)

Marshall Faulk brought both tremendous talent and class to the game of football, and whether or not his placement in the record books stays where it currently is, Faulk should be remembered as one of the most impressive offensive forces to ever pick up a football.
