The Shot Heard Round the World
The anniversary of Jack Johnson defeating Tommy Burns in 1908 to become the first ever black heavyweight champion of the world. "In the 14th, Johnson wearied of clowning and stepped up his attack on Burns with an intent towards ending the fight. The beating he administered was so severe that the police stepped in to stop the contest. Burns was mercifully spared any more punishment, and Jack Johnson was the new heavyweight champion of the world."

Take it back, doo doo doo doo
Large reviews Rocky Balboa. You will perhaps be less than surprised to learn that he likes it.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Lot of infidelity going on down in Philly with their superstars these days. First A.I. sent packing and now we're cheating on DMac? "Our All-World quarterback is on the schneid and suddenly we are goo-goo-eyed, seeing-stars, is that a sausage in your pants or are you just glad to see me in LOVE with a full-on ham-and-egger named Jeff Garcia."

12/28
Game of the Century

The No Mas Fight and Fighter of the Year
No Mas gives mad respect to our fight of the year, Pacquiao/Morales II, and our fighter of the year, the living Rocky himself, Carlos Baldomir. "...before 2006, Carlos Baldomir was next to nothing in the fight game, and he may return to that status in the coming year. Nevertheless, we fight fans will remember his name for a long long time, and that is solely because of two bouts in 2006 when he shocked the world."
