A Day Late and a Buck Short

But I just watched the YouTube clip of the Iceman getting dropped by some black guy I've never heard of from the UFC fight on Saturday, and it was up there today for the biggest waste of 2 minutes of my life. They pretty much walk around the ring for 2 minutes, throw approximately a total of 7 punches. The black guy lands one on the chin and drops Lidell, and then pounces on him until the ref jumps in between and calls the fight. So where exactly is the excitement of MMA? Did I miss something there? Maybe the undercards were good? But certainly dropping 50 bones on a fight that lasted 2 minutes and consisted of roughly 10 punches was not worth it.

If you care to waste 2 minutes yourself...

Couldn't agree more Simon, except the undercard usually is pretty solid in the UFC PPVs. You're pretty much guaranteed 2-3 good fights. I wish I had spent my money on that rather then de la Hoya/Mayweather.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
