Pacquiao-Mayweather again on the drawing board

Posted 03-14-2010 at 06:20 PM by The Betting Fanatic

Manny Pacquiao’s lopsided victory over Joshua Clottey last Saturday night brings boxing back to where it was last fall – with Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. dancing around each other while everyone waits to see if the Fight That Will Revive Boxing as a Legitimate Sport ever happens.

Mayweather will first have to take care of Shane Mosely in May, but that’s a mere formality. Negotiations will start soon after that on Pacquiao-Mayweather, and for the undefeated Mayweather it...

Quinn should start . . . being quiet

Posted 03-11-2010 at 09:27 AM by The Betting Fanatic

Chances are Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn never heard of former Cardinals shortstop Garry Templeton. Templeton was a solid player, and in 1979 did nothing to diminish his reputation as an all-around jerk when he refused to go to the All-Star Game as a reserve, saying, “If I ain't startin', I ain't departin'!”

Fast forward 31 years, and Quinn – not yet quite as good on the football field as Templeton was on the diamond – is making a similar demand. Quinn says that if...

If there was any doubt that the Olympic hockey tournament was over and done with and filed away, it was drilled home a few days ago when the Bruins’ Marc Savard was sent sprawling to the ice by what most believe was a cheap-shot elbow to the head from the Penguins’ Matt Cooke.

In Boston, talk radio nutsos are screaming at the referees for not calling a penalty on the play, screaming at the league for not immediately suspending Cooke, and screaming at the Bruins players and coaches...

Bucks suddenly in East playoff picture

Posted 03-06-2010 at 09:50 AM by The Betting Fanatic

The last time the Milwaukee Bucks played an important game President Lincoln was just finishing his Gettysburg Address, so hoop fans in Wisconsin have to be in heaven as they tick off the minutes til tapoff tonight at home against the Cavaliers.

Half of life is just showing up, and the Bucks have someone managed to nudge their way into the playoff conversation by beating bad and average teams for the entire season. But they have accumulated 8 wins in their last 9 and now...

Pacquiao may not have much fight left in him

Posted 03-02-2010 at 09:43 AM by The Betting Fanatic

Manny Pacquiao takes on Joshua Clottey March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, and there are rumblings that this might be Pacquiao’s final fight.

Pacquiao has said this before, only a year ago. But there are indications that this time he might not be blowing smoke. The WBO world welterweight champion turns 32 later this year, and the warranty has long expired. He is also running for political office in his native Philippines, and if elected in May (to that country’s equivalent...
