More Off-Topic News


In case you missed it and I am guessing you guys did Fedor Emelianenko, the one time #1 ranked MMA heavyweight, lost his second fight in a row this time by doctor stoppage. Personally, I do not think his eye looked that bad (sarcasm font). To put it in boxing terms he was Mike Tyson. His last fight was the loss to Buster Douglas, everyone gets caught at some point. This fight was Iron Mike getting flattened by Evander Holyfield, a fight everyone thought he would win easily that ended the mystique. I have always been a fan of Fedor. He has always been exciting as well as being humble. While he probably will not be relevant in the who is #1 argument, I hope to see him paired in a few more "Super Fights."

Metaphorically speaking, as a sports fan doomed to cheering for teams from Minnesota, you already have suffered this fate.

MCA - I was going to find an inspirational story to counter your (rightly) melancholy note and somehow, someway try to turn the "Barge of Despair" that is our sports scene just a little back towards positiveness only to click on Strib Sports and see the headline: "Elbow flares up, and Scott Baker backs off." Lesson: not time to try to get up off the mat quite yet. . .

Hey, at least Miguel Cabrera isn't on our team. Did you guys read that news? Yikes...dude has a problem.

MCA - laughed out loud at your metaphorical comment above. So true...

That has to be the smiliest mug shot ever.
