Another walk-off win...

On The Ultimate Fighter reality series tonight, Kimbo Slice faves Roy Nelson in what should be the most watched TUF show of all time. Nelson is quite the specimen - a giant boiler, attitude to the gills, but rumor has it, wins the fight. That said, and if that is indeed the case, it appears UFC boss Dana White has gone back on his vow that Slice would only fight for UFC if he makes it through the show as he's already said Slice will fight in the octagon at some point.

More Champions League action today, for those looking for daytime sports. Be sure to tune in to SportsNet at 2:30pm (Eastern).

Pat Gillick says that he's not interested in a return to the Toronto Blue Jays, and seemed to indicate he'd only be interested in a more prominent role if it were on the West Coast, which, unless I'm mistaken, Toronto is certainly not.

Seriously, do people think that posts on Twitter are private or something? Pro athletes seem most afflicted by this lack of understanding of the medium, and New York Jets receiver David Clowney was benched after tweeting his displeasure over his limited playing time. Yeah, that's what you want to do Clowney - spout off in the largest media market in the world with a hard assed coach who has a 3-0 start in his back pocket.

USC running back Stafon Johnson dropped a barbell on his throat in a horrible accident on Monday night and it could be a career ender. The upside for USC? Their loss to Washington is no longer their biggest choke job of the month.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim clinched the AL West a couple nights ago, and as part of their celebrations, doused the jersey of deceased teammate Nick Adenhart in champagne and beer. Seems kind of odd when it was a drunk driver that killed Adenhart, no?

Have a great Wednesday.

That choke job comment is off the Richter scale. Awesome.

I think the Clowney thing was overblown.

"1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half…bit disappointed about my playing but very happy and satisfied about the win."

That doesn't deserve a suspension but I guess Ryan wants to be like Mangini who fined a player $1701 for an unpaid bottle of water at a hotel.


Glad the Angels are treating Nick like a part of the club, like Tony K. said on PTI: it had to be brought to my attention that he was killed by a drunk driver before I connected the dots.
