I was glad they didnt try another 'Americas Last Line of Defense!' type ad-campaign for this fight...considering they were in Sergei's hometown of Phoenix. How do you call a guy a faggot then keep your distance for an entire fight waiting for the guy to practically fall before you throw some serious punches? Unreal. Promote this, Don King - "America's Champion: Big Fat Bitch!"

Christ...Briggs has the size advantage, its his first title shot in years, and he called his opponent a 'faggot' among other things...then he fights like a pussy for 11 1/2 rounds? One of the most pathetic displays I had ever seen in boxing. Briggs just completely lucked into a title belt. Lame. Bring on DLH-PBF.

ESPN Honor Roll: Running Backs Ron Dayne isn't one of the ten best ever? Really? He must be on the 'depth chart' with the other 10 or 20 guys listed, right? No? Wow.

Go Ball St.

And now Joe Pa has left the game with an injured knee.

Briggs-Lyakhovich (A fight that probably would have made television a few years ago) has really become interesting. It'll be nice to see Juan Diaz again as well.

Joe Paterno is PISSED.

That interview with Haggard at the wheel was hard to watch.

Why does everybody on television say "Missour-uh" now?

W. has been very fortunate to have had two very-less-than-stellar opponents, who both ran pretty bad campaigns. Had the aforementioned scenario taken place, Clinton wouldnt have gone the weak Bob Shrum route. John Kerry (as I predicted at the time) became the modern day Humphrey in '04...absorbing the personal attacks, running a limp feeble campaign, and refusing to say what voters wanted to hear until it was too late. Like the Hube, he lost an important close election that he should have (or a better Dem candidate) won widely.

Dole should have campaigned for a 96% tax cut.

Reminder: Kelly Pavlik vs. Lenard Pierre on Versus tonight.

None of the Republicans in '96 were going to defeat Clinton (not Lamar Alexander, not Steve Forbes, not Dan Quayle if he had won the Powerball) so Dole getting to ride off into the political sunset at the Presidential stage was about the best they could hope to accomplish that year. 1968 (Like 2004, 1988, 1948, etc) were years that both parties actually stood a good chance of victory. In '68 it was not only a hugely important election, but it also featured Nixon as the GOP nominee and someone the Dems knew they could beat. Instead, they chose the man who didnt have the peoples' passion like McCarthy did but did give Nixon plenty of confidence. HHH than ran a perfect campaign for Nixon until he started speaking againgst the War in the final days, bridged the gap several percentage points, and just barely lost. He lost one of the biggest elections ever which he could have handily won. That is why I say he was the worst candidate of the last 100 years.

In 1968 Richard Nixon was a man that had lost his two most recent campaigns (including an emarassing, hungover tirade after his '62 Governor loss) and only managed to save face by remaining a strong Party-man and campaining hard in '64/66. He spent the 50s in Ike's shadow and, some ten years later, he was left to constantly remind people of Alger Hiss (even Bob Haldeman was annoyed by this), the kitchen debate, and run a smoothut eventually ironic law-and-order campaign. America's distaste for the Vietnam War (and ample personal cowardice on the President's part) had driven LBJ back to Texas, gigantic nose to the ground. Had the Dems rallied around either McGovern or McCarthy after RFK's death, or had Humphrey ben capable of standing on his own two feet, Richard Nixon would have never had the opportunity to disgrace the Presidency.

A couple more reviews here: http://my.execpc.com/~billp61/103106r.html#1 Nice to be noticed.

If he would have stopped running as a fat, bald appendage of Lyndon Johnson earlier than the last week of the campaign, he would have defeated Nixon by 5% or more.

I think the fact that Floridians weren't too embarassed by the debacle of '00 (omg u guys r still tak about that?!) might be a good indication of how a Kathy Harris can still be a viable political figure there.

Charles Woodson, who has been looking really good the last couple weeks, is doubtful for Green Bay on Sunday.

These new episodes have been fun television.

I like when books do that.

It's being replayed on Cspan2 right now.

Another Roadside Attraction is really amazing considering it was Robbins' first effort.
