We had three terrific entries, so everyone is going to win a

prize but the guys I am sure are anxious for a vote.

Now that the dust from UFC 98 has settled, MikeDead and -C.B- are going to break down the Event. Frank Edgar showed that he has an impressive standing game. Do you think that he’s one big win away from a title shot?

MikeDead: One big win; maybe. But I’m not convinced that a win over Sherk will be enough to get Frank Edgar that big fight just yet. The win over Sherk was certainly impressive, but I’d like to see how he fares in his next fight, and what a win over Sherk will get him in his next bout.

In what has to be a disappointing end, the weekend at Charlotte will better be known for rain than great racing that comes from Lowes. The Nationwide race was shortened and after being delayed from Sunday night to Monday, we would find no difference in luck. Mother Nature had different plans for this weekend. But, some racing happened, and what was there was either really good for some, or a wreck for others. Kyle Busch started the race and took off, which this and last season we have been very accustomed seeing. A few cars looked strong early, Vickers, Kahne, Stewart, Kyle Busch, and even Juan Pablo Montoya. The race was stopped as more rain came, and then started and stopped and started and I can’t remember how many times it happened. And finally a long red flag and inches more of rain led to a long, long stoppage.

CHANGE is NEEDED!

Dale Earnhardt Jr doesn’t have much to show for this season except a second place finish at Talladega and top 10 runs at Las Vegas (10th) and Martinsville (8th).

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I’m taking time to sit back and reflect on the reasons why today most of us are off of work and spending time with friends and family instead. I’ll admit, sitting back and taking a look at the calendar a couple of weeks ago, I was very excited that I had a Monday off from the daily grind of my job.

Today is a special day to Americans. It’s Memorial Day

Me myself…..with a daughter in the Air Force now, my heart
is even heavier on days like these. Sometimes I look at her
curled up in bed with her ponytail, and a rag doll from 15 years
ago and I sigh.

Cavs let one slip, don’t regain homecourt advantage. There are often many players in the league that don’t dawn a Celtics green jersey that I fancy. Oh sure, I love the superstars. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear a Dwyane Wade jersey (besides you Magic and Mavs fans)? And LeBron? With exception to the Wizards fans of the world, who wouldn’t enjoy boasting a King James jersey?

The Women’s College World Series (WCWS) has been played every year since 1982. Beginning with little attraction, and a very small audience, the series has evolved over the years to capture a larger following and higher television ratings. The western states have dominated the sport, particularly the Pacific 10
