Ray Allen and Anderson Varejao became entangled on a rebound attempt which ended with Allen on the floor. Ray responded by elbowing Varejao in the balls on the sly.
This weilded three funny results which were:
A. Varejao didn’t respond to being elbowed in the sack whatsoever, which either means he’s the strongest man on earth or has miniature testicles (pause…)
B. Instead of retaliating and smacking the shit out of Ray Allen (which is what 90% of the population would have done), he holds his arms in the air and follows Ray around like Frankenstein.
C. Varejao received a technical foul for his troubles.
I’d like to think the referree gave Varejao a tech just because he was too scared to punch Ray in the face….. nobody likes a sissy.
The second trailer for “The Hangover” comedy movie was released recently and it looks funny as hell. Check out hilarious cameo by Mike Tyson at the end….
So we’re about a month away from Manny Pacquiao’s fight with Ricky Hatton and HBO is rolling out the first class promo for the bout. I originally predicted that Manny would murder Ricky Hatton, but I don’t think he’s going to fight the same Ricky that Floyd Mayweather fought.
In the past, Ricky would just charge in and bull-over fighters until he met someone faster and technically sound. Floyd Mayweather Sr. is making a point to teach him head movement, defense, and precision punching. A funny thing in this video is you’ll see Ricky Hatton working on drills he used to tease Floyd Mayweather for doing.
I’m a bit late on this news but due to how important it could potentially be to boxing I have to speak on it.
David Haye made one of the ballsiest (some would say STUPID) moves in recent memory by signing away all the proceeds from a fight just to get a shot at heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko. Haye will NOT see any money from ticket sales, or TV revenues worldwide…. all that goes to Wlad. But thats not all…. if David Haye wins he is contractually obligated to grant a rematch and THEN fight Wladimir’s brother Vitaly.
One thing that is not clear is if he’s going to give up revenues in the rematch fights as well. While this move doesnt seem particularly smart, it’s the best thing that could have happened from the perspective of us fans. David Haye and Chris Arreola are the most exciting things in the division and they’re both hell bent on getting the Klitschkos out of the way.
Here’s a video blog from Haye talking about the fight.
One of the most controversial posts in the short history of this site involved Tiger Woods and his lack of presence in the black community. I held the stance that although Tiger was under no obligation to help anybody, he should take a more hands on approach in less fortunate areas.
Yes, I’m fully aware of the Tiger Woods foundation, but it’s always seemed like something he threw money at, did photo ops, and politely went about his day not giving a damn. There’s a difference lending your name and cash to something, and REALLY getting out there with your hands in the dirt.
Anyways…. ESPN’s “Outside The Lines” did a segment how there are no black golfers on the PGA Tour and if Tiger Woods was under any responsibility to help black golfers make it. They also interviewed two black golfers who are trying to make it, and asked them what they thought of Tiger’s refusal to get involved.
Tiger Woods will always be able to skirt the issue and mention that he gives money to poor people through his foundation, which is far less invasive than taking a young black golfer under his wing and really making a difference in the sport.
So, we all know Tiger doesn’t HAVE to do anything….. but do you think he should?
