There! Made it! Our first weekend without football since Saturday & Sunday, August 23rd & 24th. Thank heavens for college hoops, horse racing, a great boxing match, a little golf, more than enough wine, Comcast, my dogs and most important of all, my lovely wife. But enough is enough. I can't get past Arizona head coach Ken Wisenhunt and the fact that he was the Steeler offensive coordinator. How does that 'not' give them an edge? We'll take the next 5 editions of SportsTalk to try & figure this whole thing out.
Despite much talk about MMA or UFC and the demise of boxing, we had a terrific event Saturday in LA with Shane Mosely stunning Antonio Margarito for the Welterweight title. It was the largest attended event in the history of the Staples center and they witness the 4-1 underdog tear up a guy many considered the top pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. I watched the replay on Sunday and when Sugar Shane dropped Antonio for good early in the 9th round, I had him winning every round except for maybe the 7th. While Mosley displayed his usual devastating left hook and overhand right, he kept Margarito from mounting even a remote semblance of a comeback with a very effective jab. If you get a chance to catch this on Youtube or HBO, it's a clinic given by a Hall of Famer!
You know the Oregon men's season is heading south quickly when the conversation turns to moral victories. They were actually in the game with about 5 minutes to go at Berkeley before failing to get stops or defensive rebounds and falling to the Bears. They've got to find a way to beat Oregon State at Corvallis on Saturday but the Beavs have been much improved and got an amazing sweep in the Bay Area this past Thursday & Saturday. I know Craig Robinson is the nation's 1st Brother In Law and inauguration was last week, but could that have inspired victories at Cal & Stanford?
Have a great week and if you want to get in our Super Sunday Bowl Game at the Professional Level contest to win a certificate for 4 free greens fees at Emerald Valley golf course in Creswell. E-mail me the following.
