In this small, southern, college town...the temperatures are high. 89 degrees today. Has spring...sprung? Right into summer?
A few things we learned over the past few days:
The Best...Boxing has to offer...sucks!
It is a gorgeous spring day in this small, southern, college town. Temps in the upper 70's...No humidity.
No flies...or pesky insects.
Absolutely wonderful. Wish we could can these type days and open them up when the rainy season overwhelms us.
Anyway...some "stuff" ...that made us pay attention to sports these past 2 days.
From our friends at the Huffington Post:
We still love a good baseball fight...Even if no punches are thrown:
This is a little long...but worth every minute. Ali versus Foreman...1974. I had just finished high school. Foreman had just destroyed Joe Frasier and Ken Norton. None of us at the time thought Ali had any chance. We all thought the worst case scenario...he would die in the ring.
But...he...did...not.
From the archives of HBO...and YouTube.
Sit back and enjoy a piece of history. Trust me...you will be moved by this film.
In this small southern college town...the count down is on for the new football season...commencing with the epic battle of Georgia going to Clemson on Saturday.
First things first. Here's what we learned this weekend:
Tiger so close....but still finishes second:
We hate these kind of posts...for...it means somebody died. Someone won't wake up tomorrow and read anything. They are dead.
Emanuel Steward was a boxing trainer. Remember Thomas Hearns? Evander Holyfield? He was the trainer in their respective corners.
Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and close friends.
From TMZ.com:
Hey...it is .....what it is...
He made 100 million dollars.......in 5 years...
Paid 20 million for this house.......owes 14 million for this house...
House was sold....for 7 million.
Some things just don't add up. I'm not a math major......but....this is some shit.
From the New York Daily News:
Yes...it is true. Iron Mike is taking on Broadway. Way to go Tyson!
We will be the first in line to see this train wreck.
Will it be ad-lib? Will it be scripted?
Who knows?
But one thing for sure.....It will be very entertaining.....You can bet your "ear" on that!
In this small, southern, college town....it seems like we're in the "tropics"....
Warm and breezy......morning thunder-storms.....The only thing missing is the roar of ocean waves....battering the shore line.
But......we are more than 300 miles inland.....so I guess it's Mother Nature's way of giving us a tease.
So.....what did we learn over these past 2 days?
There are "No-Hitters".....and then there are ..."No Hitters *"...
St. Louis Paper Mocks Santana's No-Hitter
Okay.......so I stopped the world and got off for a few days....So....sue me.
Did some R&R.....away from this small southern college town.
Myrtle Beach, SC......good for the soul...plenty of food, drinks and relaxation.
Some stuff.....we still followed:
The Knickerbockers are still alive?
Such is the state of boxing......There was a heavyweight championship boxing match last night.....but nobody watched.....much less cared about.
Where oh where are you? Ali.......and Frasier?
There is this big Russian guy...We think he is the current champion......Then there are these contenders....who pick fights at the post-match news conference.
Wow ........has boxing sunk to a new low.
In case you missed it....and judging by the ratings.....you did...
Here's what went down last night.....in Germany:
We love us some Mike Tyson......
