No Mas - A Week to Remember

I begin the week's recap by reminding you to please, please, please send in your votes and arguments for The No Mas Fighter of the Year and The No Mas Fight of the Year. Aight. On to the week that was:

12/17
Looked like a right cross
An analysis of the Knicks/Nuggets smackdown along with some Youtube footage and another call for the Carmelo/Al Harrington fight for the Heavyweight championship of the NBA.

Jesus what a fight
Large breaks down the Jason Litzau/Jose Hernandez shocker and gives mad No Mas love to Hernandez for being El Mas Macho.

K.O.W. - Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em
The No Mas Knockout of the Week, with Julian "The Hawk" Jackson laying the heavy on Herol "The Bomber" Graham. "...the Hawk turned the tide like a freakin tsunami. He dropped a bomb on The Bomber in the fourth round that quite literally put his ass to sleep. If you've never seen this one before, brace yourself - it's a mother. Graham did not regain consciousness for more than five minutes after the punch."

12/18
The Mother of All Birthdays
A No Mas birthday celebration that includes shoutouts to luminaries like Cobb, Stone Cold, DMX, and Keith Richards.

12/19
Jarts mate... they're called "jarts"
Large takes you back to the day the jarting died.

The White Shadow is running on YES
Thorpe? Check. Coolidge. Double check? Heyward? Are you kidding me? YES Network is running episodes of The White Shadow. Talk about Christmas coming early.

12/20
Sweet Like Sugar
The 60th anniversary of Sugar Ray Robinson winning his first world title, taking the welterweight crown from Tommy Bell with a unanimous decision.

12/21
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser"
The anniversary of Vince Lombardi's last game, a loss, as his Redskins went down 20-10 to the Cowboys.

12/22
Death of a Salesman
No Mas remembers Doug Ault, who committed suicide on this day two years ago. "For all us baseball-card-obsessed sports dorks, he's a sobering reminder that the majority of professional athletes are just normal people having their fifteen minutes on the big stage that fifteen minutes later no one will care much about one way or the other. At which point, they're on their own in the big bad world, just like the rest of us."
