Y.E. Yang is the newest PGA Champion! What’s so remarkable about that? Well in the one sport where fans almost always root for the favorite and against the underdog (especially when the favorite is none other than THE Tiger Woods) I don’t think anyone is upset that Yang got the win. On his second the the last shot, from 206 yards Yang got his ball about 10-15 feet from the hole. His birdie putt was good and now hundreds of people all over the world are googling “Y E Yang.” Everyone wants to know who took Tiger Woods down the the wire and emerged victorious.

Gina Carano Vs Cyborg, the fight every MMA fan has been waiting to see for about the last year and a half. Gina “Conviction” Carano has fought the biggest match of her career, taking on Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos in what will forever be known as “Carano vs. Cyborg.”

The ink in the history book is starting to dry, the first women’s championship MMA fight is over. Congrats to the victor. What an amazing fight!!! As usual the female MMA fighters did not let us down, we only got one round of the fight but it was an amazing round! I am not happy it ended right at the buzzer but sometimes that happens.

Cyborg’s brute force power house style was given the odds to win out the fight by most people but die hard Carano fans were just as certain Gina’s “Conviction” to remain undefeated would not waiver. The fight was hyped as a test to see whether brute force (Cyborg) would win out over strategy and technique (Carano). I’m not sure one fight proves which will win out every time but it certainly was a fun thing to speculate over and debate with people about.

So who won? Who do you think? Okay that is kinda mean of me. But hey, you should have been dedicated enough to stay up and watch the fight. Okay okay some of you probably had to work or had something major come up. I understand. The winner is Cris Cyborg. Congrats Cris.

Gina Carano will remain the face of women’s MMA. She is stunningly beautiful and an amazing fighter. In MMA being undeafeated is great and a truly remarkable accomplishment but having a loss on your record is not the kiss of death. Cris Cyborg lost her first MMA fight.

In fact it is expected. Not having a loss leads to speculation that all of your fights are rigged. Gina has battled that rumor for a very long time. Some say she was used as a pretty face to lure more fans to the sport but was never really given a powerful opponent. I think that is insulting not only to Gina Carano herself but also to all the women she fought. I never saw anything in a fight where I thought it was being thrown. Gina earned her wins and it is just plain wrong to claim otherwise unless you have credible evidence to support the claim. Female MMA fighters definitely face a harder time getting respect for the long hours they train and the beating they take inside the cage. So lay off the “fixed fight” crap already.

Fans were all over the map on how they saw this fight ending. Some thought it would be over in a matter or minutes by way of a quick knock out while others saw it going all the way to the end and being decided by the judges. This fight really was hard to decide on, personally I ran every scenario through my head and to be honest I wasn’t sure how it would end. I’m actually rather happy about that because it allowed me to watch and enjoy the fight without having to be worried about not being right about the winner and how it was won.

I still think both women are amazing fighters and look forward to watching them fight again — whether it be a rematch or some new opponent. Bring on more women’s mixed martial arts!!!

Cisky Terrier? Nope, the breed is actually the Cesky Terrier. It is pronounced “ches-kee” in case you were wondering. I’m not sure what happened that has everyone searching for information on this rare breed of dog but everyone seems to be typoing the breed name. I am a huge fan of Terrier dogs. They are amazing pets so I thought that I would write an article to make sure this wonderful breed can capitalize on its sudden fame. I happen to be owned by an adorable toy terrier. His name is Ovid and I love him to death. I’ll do anything I can to help more Terriers find loving homes. Be sure to check your local animal shelter if you are in the market to adopt a pet.

The Whole Foods boycott is all the rage right now on the internet, it seems like very site is running its own poll or requesting readers to sign some sort of petition agreeing to boycott Whole Foods. I’m not sure if Whole Foods CEO John Mackey was aware of the potential fallout when he wrote his op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal or if it was a calculated move to generate controversy that would be worth millions in advertising value.

Sorry Bobby Bowden, that’s all I can really say to you. That and you are quickly losing some of the respect I have for you, and I really do respect your coaching ability. You are a great coach and should have the dignity to accept the rules of the game. Your team got caught cheating and you suffered a penalty. That is what is supposed to happen to keep the game fair. Academic fraud should not be taken lightly. Your players engaged in it and you are paying the price. If you want to blame anyone, blame them! Read the full story

Michael Vick has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles? Yes, unfortunately it is official. Michael Vick has signed a 2 year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.  I’m not sure what they are going to pay him but no matter how much or how little it is Philadelphia is getting a bad deal. Michael Vick is over the hill and damaged goods, Philly has enough trouble at the QB position to add more issues and baggage.  I guess Philly just loves controversy.
