Artest said he’ll try to attend the fight between a road game Friday at Denver and a Sunday night home game, and elaborated on why pro athletes follow the fight game.
Man, its a good thing his day job doesnt require a lot of, i dunno, rest or practice or anything and he can fit the boxing match in. That Ron Artest, he’s always got his priorities right. I wonder what his UFC plans are?
First Oasis breaks up and now this. Remember how down Marcus was when Jacqueline played him in Boomerang? The people of Manchester must feel the same way. Times are ill on the blue side of Manchester these days. Oasis breaks up, Man City’s playing like a mid-table team and now Ricky Hatton has been reduced to appearing as a WWE side show.
Bony T didn’t show Marcus any mercy and we don’t think he’d have any for Hatton either. On the plus side, it looks like retirement’s been good to Hatton. Pies and beers make the gentleman of leisure. No sexy beast here.
Speaking of Boomerang, start at 3:00. Bang bang bang!
Did you know that you’re having your next birthday at Cowboys Stadium? No? Well you know now. Surprise. Your nephew’s bar mitzvah? Cowboys Stadium. The Winter Olympics? You know where it’ll be. Me getting with your moms? Cowbo … I’m just playin’. I’m going to her place when she finishes cage dancing.
It’s hard to find an event that isn’t taking place at Cowboys Stadium these days. The 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the 2011 Super Bowl will be taking place there. Preliminary talks have started regarding a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight at Cowboys Stadium. The potential matchup would take place next March provided that Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto this Saturday night and both camps can work out a deal.
Jerry Jones should consider a series called Gladiator Nights at Cowboys Stadium. There must be way to flood the field and have naval battles in addition to man vs. beast battles. Say you wouldn’t be interested in watching a recreation of the Battle of Antietam fought out by convicts and bears in military uniforms. What better way to make players play hard than tell them they can play well or fight in next week’s battle for their job? The possibilities are endless.
It’s hard to argue with the contention that Antonio Pitalua’s devastating knockout of Jose Reyes (Sorry, not the Met) is probably the best of the year.
I jumped out of my chair and yelled “Oh my god!” when Pitalua connected with what used to be Reyes’ jaw. As Smokey would say, Reyes got knocked the fuck out. If there’s a better knockout making the rounds, we’d like to see it.
Ron Artest stopped by Manny Pacquiao’s sparing session the other day and offered up his thoughts on the upcoming Pacquiao/Cotto fight to the LA Times.
