The fight Pacquiao-Cotto had 1.25 million PPV hits. Altogether, it grossed over $70 million dollars. Isn’t that amazing? How much money do these boxers make for less than an hour in the ring? The only problem I have with this is that boxers don’t fight the way they used to many years ago. The entire sport has changed.

Back in the day, boxers fought a lot harder and the match wasn’t all about how many punches you’ve landed. These days, boxers are giving half-effort.

I’m sure we all remember a time when Ricky Williams was the laughing stock of the NFL. It was a time where we all laughed and thought Ricky Williams was one of the craziest athletes to ever hit the scene.

However, after returning back to the NFL after a “soul searching period”, he has truly come back with a vengeance. Last night against the Panthers, Ricky Williams led the Dolphins to a 24-17 win. Williams ran for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns.

As a result of his huge game, Williams has now put himself into the Dolphins history books, becoming only the fifth player in franchise history to score multiple touchdowns in at least ten or more games.

Looks like Ricky Williams is having the last laugh on all his critics.

Well, MLB commissioner Bud Selig said that some baseball teams lost money in 2009. I guess he will be blaming it on the recession. Wow, I feel so bad for the owners. Maybe they should take a look at the prices they are charging for tickets and merchandise, as well as the salaries of all the players. It’s not cheap to go to a game.

Baseball players get too much money.

My oh my, it seems like just yesterday when former NBA star Jayson Williams was in the news for the “accidental” shooting that led to the death of a limousine driver at his home.

Oh wait a minute, that was in 2002, seven years ago. The fact of the matter is this case has been going on for almost a full decade and finally today there are reports surfacing that Williams will agree to a plea deal.

The plea deal states that he will see a minimum of 18 months in prison and a maximum of up to three years. Thank you Jayson Williams for finally agreeing on something do with this case. I hope you enjoy your cell throughout the term.

Going into this past Monday, the majority of people in the NFL already did not take a liking to Browns quarterback Brady Quinn. However, Quinn further isolated himself from the league against the Baltimore Ravens Monday night.

After a thrown interception in the 3rd quarter of the game, Quinn threw a chop block at Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs. As a result of the hit, Suggs now has a torn MCL in his right knee.

The NFL has fined Quinn and Baltimore is furious at what they believe was a blatant hit to hurt Suggs. Quinn apologized after the game saying that it was an accident. I’m not too sure how a premeditated hit was an accident, but whatever works Quinn.

I wish Quinn luck when he has to play against the Ravens in the future because they will sure not give Quinn the benefit of the doubt.

What’s going to happen when Tiger Woods retires from golf? Is the sport going to take a major fall? He is the golfer of the century. There’s Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and a bunch of other guys who very few people know of. Most of the people who watch golf want to see Tiger.

Will another golf legend come along?

The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Dick Jauron today after he has led one of the worst offenses and teams in the NFL.

This is a smart move by the Bills, but they are going to need a lot more help to turn this ship around by the 2020 season. Jauron may have been fired, but the joke is still on the Bills, who will be paying him a total of $6 million dollars in 2009 and 2010.
