O My My MY!

There have been some VERY interesting happenings in sports this past week! So, I decided to just give a few comments on them all instead of focusing on one each.

First, Farve! This man has won me over. I used to roll my eyes and hope that someone would go to his first "post-retire" game with a tranquilizer gun and put him out before his first pass. BUT, I have to admit, he is one crusty, stubborn old fart! Will he retire? AGAIN? Well, his answer was basically NO! He says, he will play if he is "healthy," which of course he will be...he'll make SURE to be! Anyway, I give up, go Farve!

Then....Oh boy! Tyson Gay beat Usain "big head"Bolt! And even though both of their times were nowhere near Bolt's record time he ran in the 2008 Olympics, it STILL gives Gay bragging rights. He didn't just beat him in this last race in Stockholm, he smoked him! I'm glad I can say that Gay beat Bolt, even if it was a result of Bolt being out of shape and coming from an Achilles injury. A win is a win! Congrats Gay!

Next, WOWZER! Did I just see that? Did I just watch Chael Sonnen practically murder Anderson Silva for four rounds, and even most of the fifth and STILL lose the fight? What, does Silva have some type of Brazilian leprechaun bringing him luck? To be honest, I had a feeling that Anderson might lose this fight because Sonnen was so darn confident he'd win! Ever heard that saying "mind over matter?" Well it turns out, Sonnen not only had the mind, he had the matter! He got Silva where he hurt: wrestling. So, wrestling is Anderson Silva's cryptonite! I'm surprised that in all his 12 straight wins, no one has faced him that could wrestle. He hasn't lost since 2006, so that was a HUGE oversight. Sonnen was pretty smart to recognize that Silva, who has been hailed as the best MMA fighter pound for pound, had a huge weakness. So, I'm tickled pink that Silva did win by submission over Sonnen in the end, but kudos for Sonnen for giving him a HARD won fight! I smell a rematch!

And last...take a look at the photo above....this is why I love Tim Tebow.....he is humble enough to withstand some rookie hazing (take notes Dez Bryant). He looks so cute! LOL
