UFC141 had some heavy hitters.  And when the dust settled there were some obvious winners, and some surprise losers.   Probably the biggest news is that Brock Lesner is gong to retire.  No surprise as he fought Diverculosis twice and does not look the same. At least he recognized its time to go. HEAVYWEIGHT Junior Dos Santos (W-T/Valezquez) Alistair Overeem (W/Lesner ->Dos Santos Frank Mir (

This season of Soccer had a lot of adversity to it, more than any season.  There were so many things that went weird and that we had to overcome. Lets see where to start? Girls who were on the team, but couldn't pay, so I booted them. 3 guys got injured during the same time frame 1 Red Card a whole lot of complaining Thanksgiving break (no games) "Come to Jesus" Moment Turning the season

Yeah sorry, I'm way behind.  I've been so busy with work and stuff.  So here we go: UFC139 - Special view from me since I WENT  TO UFC 139.  it was great.  every fight was exciting and finished off with one of the greatest fights ever.  Faber vs Bowles was great,  then it built up with Cung Le vs W Silva, and then the Henderson vs Shogun was incredible.  It really was a great night and all my

Last year, Jen E invited me to play in the Turkey Trot Tournament.  And while we lost all our games, I had a lot of fun playing with different people and against different players.  It was a way to test myself against other players.  Alot has changed since that tournament.  And I think I have improved immensely, as we have won 2 titles and got to the championship games 2 other times.  This year

It didn't last long... But Junior Dos Santos proved to be the better man on UFC on Fox and became the champ.  I think there were 2 ways that UFC could have handled their first UFC on Fox show.  the way they did it was to present the background of the 2 fighters. The other way would have been to educate the everyday audience on what is Mixed Martial Arts.  Isn't that why you got on network TV?

I don't want Nick Diaz as a champion.  He's a dick, an a-hole, and he would not represent the sport well.  Much like Lesner mouthing off about sponsors, Nick Diaz doesn't have a filter and isn't mature enough to be the face of the company. But he's damn good.  He destroyed BJ Penn in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.  He deserves a title shot.  But I don't know if he would represent the UFC well.  He skips

This season has 1 major theme.  Overcoming Adversity.  Adversity was all over the place.  And somehow we came together as a team and played better than our parts.  After last season's disappointing loss in the finals, this team fell into a huge funk.  We couldn't play worth anything.  The team changed around and we lost a few players but gained a few players too.  We had some really hard games.

Yesterday, the soccer season ended.  We played hard and went to the finals, knocking out the 1st place team.  But we lost to the 2nd place team.  It was a great accomplishment for us.  After all. we won last season and we were moved up to a higher division.  We lost to two teams, but those teams went up a division.  We lost to one team in our division, the first place team, but as I mentioned

Yes I know I'm behind.  but there's 4 straight weeks of UFC fights.   Give me a break. UFC Fight Night: The big upset by the Juggernaut Jake Ellenburger destroying Jake Shields.  that was a huge upset, maybe in the way it was done so fast and quick. UFC 135: No huge surprise, Jon Jones destroys another opponent, this time Rampage Jackson.  Koscheck KOs hughes into retirement. Matchmaking:

Geez Nick Diaz, you dropped the ball.  The Biggest Welterweight title ever.  Strikeforce Champ vs UFC Champ.  and you can't show up for a press conference?  You're a champion and your a face of the company.  You're supposed to do these things.  But you didn't.  So you're out.  And now Carlos Condit, who really deserved a unification title shot as the last WEC Champion finally gets his shot.

X-Men Schism is big in the X-World. It will divide the X-Men into two sides. Like Marvel Civil war. But I don't think they'll be fighting each other, but just two directions, like Prof X and Magneto. Except no one is the bad guy. X-Men Blue Team (Cyclops) X-Men Gold (Wolverine) -= Generation Hope =- Hope Sabastian Shaw Velocidad (of the Five Lights) ? -= Uncanny X-Force =-

The fact is... Anderson Silva destroyed Okomi. And that's the end of that. and who really stands in the way of Anderson Silva? No one. He's beaten them all. If there's a rematch to be had it's with Dan Henderson or Chael Sonnen, both beaten by Silva. Otherwise it's the Superfight that everyone wants. George St. Pierre vs Anderson Silva. IN other news. UFC Rio was all Brazilian fighters.

A Great Night of Fights I must say. I enjoyed every one of them. How fast did Dan Hardy fall though? that's a big question mark for him. Take some time and rethink and re-dedicate. The Lightweight division got taken over by the WEC fighters as Cerrone and Henderson dominated their fights. They're proving that the WEC wasn't 2nd class. HEAVYWEIGHT Cain Valezquez (W-T/Lesner -> Dos Santos)

As I thought, Rashad Evans has grown and matured as a fighter. Ortiz is older and slowing down. Evans controlled and dominated the Main Event and Ortiz was TKO'd in the 2nd round. Evans has solidified himself as the #1 contender to the Light Heavyweight Title.

2 Years was the last time that I won a championship with Steve and Sandy. That game I only played 5 minutes; 0 minutes in the first half. From that point I knew i wanted to start my own team. Friday night was a completion of a 2 year circle. "Going Green" has became the Division D7B champions. It was a long night. It started with our supposed 6PM game time. Except the referee didn't show

There were alot aof great fights and a lot of disappointments. the first being Nate Marquadt being fired for not passing his medicals. Something big had to have happened that caused Dana White to fire him. in exciting Action, Kongo KO's Berry is a great comeback from behind fight.

Lets start with the Goalie situation, because it's clouded up.Antti Neimi - Signed a 4 year extension - He's now the goalie of the future. And he deserves it. He played better than I had expected. And he has outplayed his counterpartAntero Nittimaki - 1 year
