In 2008, we witnessed arguably one of the greatest years in sports history. If there was one phrase that comes to mind that best described 2008’s Year in Sports, I would have to describe it as “The Year of OH, SNAP!” Well that is the G-rated version of the saying, but you get the idea. […]

Holyfield Loses Bid for Fifth World Title Lumbering behemoth Nikolai Valuev earned a controversial, unpopular majority decision against a game Evander Holyfield this past Saturday to retain his WBA title. The listless fight saw Holyfield take command in the early rounds by the use of his overhand left. Valuev remained tentative, simply throwing feeler jabs […]
It’s late, I know, but I’m still gonna get it in as promised with the sickest Sunday you ever had in your life. Hope you all warm and toasty, most of America is under snow and ice. We had a couple non fatal plane crashes so thank the gods or whatever you believe.This week we […]

I tend to think of the NYC absence in the Hip-Hop mainstream as our fault. It’s like putting grandma in a home and never going to visit her. You have heard all the stories. You remember all the lessons and have applied them to your day to day. You don’t think there is anything else […]
Pacquiao Breaks De La Hoya’s Will to Fight You’ve heard the sage boxing adage for decades now, that a good big man always beats a good little man. Well, lightweight titlist Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) is an all time great little man, and an unsuspecting Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) found […]
Someone finally did it. Someone finally gave us a Punisher movie worth watching. In a year that has already given us more than a few quality comic-book movies, Punisher: War Zone is an unexpected treat. After the horrible Dolph Lundergren version and the PG-13 Thomas Jane vehicle, Punisher: War Zone feels like a shot of […]
Cadillac Records really could have solely been the life story of blues legend Muddy Waters; or of the feisty Etta James or even a whole depiction of the trials and tribulations of Little Walter. However, the film takes on the arduous task of including all of these artists and more while chronicling their rise to […]

Paulie Malignaggi (25-2, 5 KOs) found his lack of power a fatal flaw this past Saturday November 22 in Las Vegas, as junior welterweight champ Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) overwhelmed the Brooklynite to a merciful 11th round TKO. After a feel out first round where Malignaggi attempted to enact Mayweather’s successful counterpunch strategy from […]

Once again it’s on and popping. Welcome to another edition of Sick Sundays. Before we get it in I have to give a tremendous rest in peace salute to MC Breed. Before the Bone Thugs, And Twista and Kanye and Common, MC Breed represented the Midwest with aplomb, skill and dignity.Everybody remembers his duet with […]
Black Friday? Never did like that name. But I guess White Friday wouldn’t have the same punch in describing the day after Thanksgiving when people lose their minds while waiting in line to get at some ridonkulous sales. Hmm, kind of like those heads that stay on line waiting for the latest pair of limited […]
