Lt. Al Giardello

Well you know they ain't going to give him a title shot when they can make a shitload of cash on Liddell or even Rashad winning and getting the title shot. With Rashad, they can use the whole TUF 1 winner Vs. TUF 2 winner, for the title shot. And then with Liddell, it's two of the biggest names in the UFC, along with the whole build around Liddell being Forrests coach in TUF1. Both make more sense marketing wise for the UFC. Lyoto should beat Silva, although it's hard to underestimate Silva. I think Silva will give Lyoto more of a fight then any of his opponets in the UFC has... He does have a chance to win it as well. But of course Lyoto is the favorite and the likely winner because he is more proven against top competition, while Silva isn't.

Theres an interview with Rampage at www.tmz.com a day before his actual "rampage"... He sounded depressed as hell.

Guess Childress doesn't want to deal with the media circus it would cause if Favre were to come to the Vikings, or he still believes in the development of Tavaris Jackson, and bringing in Favre to take his starting job will only derail his development... Or problay both.

Troy looked alright when he played last season.

Rampage just needs to come out, tell the people he fucked up royally and he is doing his best to get past this whole ordeal... He needs to plead guilty.

Knicks to sign Roberson, putting Marbury's Knicks future in doubt http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3491677 I really don't think the Knicks should get rid of Marbury, I really think he can do really well under Mike D'Antoni.

Camby to the Clips for a 2nd rounder, from ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3491156

But who the fuck gets drunk at 1:00 pm in the afternoon?

If he was drunk, they problay would've mentioned something about it already...

Anyone from the hood knows that he can't get pulled off like that... He'll get caught for driving while black! (Joking of course) Anyway, I think people are kinda overreacting the issue... It's not like he raped, murdered, or physically assulted someone. Dana White gives people like War Machine, who assults citizens at nightclubs. And former gang members who continue to break the law in Rob Emerson. But Rampage doesn't get a chance because of a hit and run? Bullshit. I do see some racial undertones in this.

I'm not trying to say Huerta has a chance to KO Florian, this is the same Kenny Florian who took shots from a KO power puncher at 185 in Chris Leben. But Huerta those have power in his shots when he commits to them, instead of throwing volume strikes like he usually does.

He rocked Guida to set up the rear naked choke... Most of those fights ended up being ground and pound, but they were set up by Huerta knocking down the fighter, standing up.

Huerta has a strong chin, and KO power... But his striking is a very wild and brawling style. He has never really faced a striker in the UFC with good crisp muay thai like Kenny Florian. I think that will tell the difference. Huerta is going to leave a lot of openings for Florian to land those body kicks he loves.

I don't think Huerta is going to look so pretty after those Ken-Flo elbows.

They should shoot themselves in the foot for absolutely nothing? Good strategy! The team's moved on. They've clearly expressed to Brett Favre what his options are. They're not dragging out anything. It's still going to be a distraction for the team the longer it drags out, because of ESPN and the sports media talking about it every 5 miniutes... Which could affect the season. The mangement might have moved on, but how about Favre's former teammates that are playing for the Packers right now?

The Colts, Chargers, Patriots, and Pittsburgh can off the top of my head. You can add Jacksonville as well... That system flourish around Garrard.

I have to say though The Packers are making this worse on themselves by dragging this out... They need to just release him, so they can move on and concentrate on the upcoming football season. The more this drags on, the more of a distraction for the team it's going to be.

So Roger Huerta in the in-depth video claims that the fight with Florian will be a "cake walk"... Yeah ok Roger... It seems like Huerta's head is getting to big for his own good, between him calling out BJ Penn, and those comments about the Florian fight... I think he will be in for a rude awakening on a few weeks.

For some reason when I was watching the ending of RAW last night... I had memories of the Kane/Shane feud with the Limo incident.

If Favre comes back and stinks it up... I blame the Madden Curse!

So... Shane Carwin Vs. Neil Wain, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou Vs. Luiz Cane, and Dan Hardy Vs. Akihiro Gono all have been announced for UFC 89, from the junkie. Sokoudjou Vs. Cane should be good.

Why? People skipped over me when I missed one of my picks, and I have 2 picks at the end and start of every round.

Isn't time up?

I'm still trying to look for Dudleyville on the map...

Yes. Basically, they signed Tony Atlas and realized they had to change Atlas The Bone's name to Ricky (as previously discussed, his real name is Rich). Is Rich Young even Latino? Kofi can pretend to be Jamaican and Armando can pretend to be Cuban because wwe doesn't travel to either, however unless "Ricky Ortiz" is legitimately Latino, I think it will be a problem with Spanish speaking fans. Also why not Ricardo Ortiz? Hell Rico Ortiz would sorta sound like Tito Ortiz (a la Bam Neely and Kenny Dykstra)... Whats your point? Movies have people from different racial backgrounds play a character from a different racial background, whats wrong with the WWE doing it? Al Pacino isn't really Cuban/Puerto Rican, but he did a fine job in both Scarface and Carlito's Way. You know how many times they get Andy Garcia, whom is of Cuban descent to play an Italian-American character? How about Jeffrey Wright, who is of African-American background, but has been casted in roles where he played Hispanic characters. Not to mention how many caucasian actors have been casted as Mexicans... Either way, I don't think people should be really complaining about this issue.
