LaFayette Fights Detroit Over The Only Good Thing Either Town Has Ever Produced

Okay. I’m being too harsh on both cities. I’m pretty sure parts of “Mississippi burning” were filmed in LaFayette (because the entire state of Mississippi was busy that month) and Detroit … I’m pretty sure all of the Pips and 2/3 of Smokey Robinson’s Miracles were from Detroit, right?

Bar Mitzvah To Halt All This Boxing Mishigas At Yankee Stadium (UPDATED)

Earlier this month, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said the NBA All-Star Game festivities were going to make the Super Bowl look like a bar mitzvah, a claim that seemed overzealous when he made it and never relented.

Cuban should have aimed lower than the Super Bowl; assuming you consider Yankee Stadium to be lower.

No One Puts Daddy In A Corner

Boxing - Million Dollar topper

How’s that old brain-teaser go? The one about, “I’m afraid I cannot operate on this boy because he is my son?” Did that involve boxing at all? Because if it did, it would really help this blog introduction.

Greatness Has No Face

Boxing - Vitali Klitschko arreolaTwo weeks ago, heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko defeated Mexican-American challenger Chris Arreola for the WBC title. The younger of the two Klitschko brothers, Vitali has successfully defended his title eight times in a 13-year career that has included a 4-year retirement. None of his last 10 victories have gone the full 12 rounds and he sent Arreola out of the ring crying.

Yet, none of this has been written up in the media as achievements for Klitschko, so much as it has been chalked up to the anemia of boxing’s heavyweight division. Klitschko is good, in other words, but he’s nowhere near as dominant as his record would indicate.
