UFC Fighter rankings: Light Heavyweight division

Champion (and clear #1): Quinton Jackson
Not only is he the clear #1 right now, he is doing it in probably the deepest and toughest division the UFC has to offer. And what can you say about the gregarious Rampage? His arrival to the UFC hasn’t just brought about a change in where he fights but [...]

Week 3 NFL thoughts

 Grossman needs to be demoted and should’ve been a LONG time ago.

I think the decision by Shanahan to go for it in that situation (4th and five from own 9 with 4:41 left in the fourth) was a good one. You have to expect that the Jaguars — who had utterly dominated time of possession [...]

UFC Fighter rankings: Heavyweight division

Champion: Randy Couture
What can you say that hasn’t already been said about “the Natural”? The guy is a beast and has an incredible heart, he’s so smart, and always executes his gameplan to perfection. At this point in time I think he can beat anyone including Fedor.
1. Andrei Arlovski – I still think he is [...]

Review: In the Valley of Elah

The one principal that you walk away with above any other after viewing  director Paul Haggis’s In the Valley of Elah, is that our army soldiers [if not marines and navy as well] do some despicable things. Even the kid that you’re left feeling sorry for, the son who died, is no saint. The army [...]

Upsets ruin potential great matchups

What a great night of incredible fights but what you walk away with most after UFC 76: Knockout (a misnomer since not a single fight on the main card ended in a KO or ref stoppage) on Saturday night was the potential great matchups that were ruined by the upsets. The light-heavyweight division in particular, [...]

Hawks should pick up “Tank” Johnson

To put it simply, the Seattle Seahawks are far too small at the defensive tackle position and have been for years. The thing is, that factor is remains the major reason that the team struggles against the run. The standard in the league is having two guys who are big, strong, and athletic. Guys like [...]

Seahawks muff game

What can you say about this one? Almost as familiar a site for the Seahawks in this Holmgren era. Under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, game tied, ball inside the opponents 40 — in essence everything you need for winning field goal to go 2-0 in the young season and bam! it’s [...]

Patriots win should be forfeited

Just when you think that cheating in sports can’t be taken to a new level, you find out that in many cases the model franchise of the NFL — the New England Patriots — were caught spying on their opponent last weekend in an attempt to steal defensive signals. Everyone’s darling franchise, the trendy pick [...]

3:10 to Yuma

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. If you haven’t seen this movie yet or given it much thought you need to go see it. The performances by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are really solid if not oscar nomination worthy and so were the supporting cast around them. Not only that though, it is clearly a western up [...]

Seahawks 20, Buccaneers 6

The defense was hitting hard and Alexander returned to form in the season opener at Qwest on Sunday. Early on, especially in the first quarter there was some questionable defensive play calling and execution as they gave up some big plays but they really buckled down and started to play some solid team defense. Peterson, [...]
