Now that Rick Ankiel, the feel good story in baseball and Troy Glaus, MVP of the 2002 World Series are in the steroid controversy I am not hearing or seeing the outrage that I saw with Bonds. I understand he was going for a hallowed recored but that should not matter. They are all guilty of the same thing even though never testing positive. I know Barry is not a nice guy like Ankiel is but lets hear the same hatred I heard for Mr. Bonds.

I'm looking for an NFL team to support as I want to take an interest in the sport which has extra coverage on British tv now. I know hardly anything specific about teams and players but I do know the games rules. I support Liverpool in the EPL and would preferebly like to support a similar team. One that has a great history but been struggling recently and now looking like getting back to their best with an outside chance of superbowl success. Any suggestions welcome although i'm not too keen on the colts as that would be the simplest choice. Thanks for your help

Last night Israel played a football match against England as a qualifier for the European Cup in 2008. How can Israel play in a european match, it is not in Europe. Since when has Europe been in the Middle East?
Also how can Israel take part in the European Song Contest?
I am confused. Has the map of the world changed recently when i was asleep and someone has now said that Israel is part of Europe?
Can anyone explain this to me please.

UFC 75 (Viva Las Vegas)

Hamill Bisping UFC 75

This is the most BS fight I have ever witnessed, I'm pretty sure HULK HOGAN vs. ANDRE THE GIANT was more legit.... Obviously somebody was giving out h*nd j*bs in the British judge's lockeroom before the match (Joe Rogan), because their minds were someplace else - but not in this fight.

Quite clear Hamill won!!!!!

I know Dana is desperate to have the British subjects in his audience, but there is something to be said about subtlety!!

DANA gained all of five fans in Britain but lost 1000's in America…

I watched the UFC because I believed it was not rigged like the BS PRIDE and Don King boxing.

At this point I'm sure of one of two things; either VEGAS had some money on the fight, or equally likely, Rogan gives fantastic h*nd j*bs . ROGAN did not call out this cr*p, and Randy, where were you?!! p.s. Rogan, you're a F*AG.

Q. Jackson already admitted PRIDE management tried to pay him.... looks like some PRIDE m

ESPN/ABC should fire Jerry Punch or, at the very least, send him back to being a pit reporter and put Allen Bestwick back in the booth. Rusty Wallace is OK and who the hell is the third guy??? I keep forgetting his name. Dave Burns is kinda funny and Jaime Little is kinda hot...

I've always been a fan of Mike Joy all the way back to his days at CBS, Larry McReynolds was Dale Sr.'s crew chief when he won the 500 and DW is, well, DW. Jeanie Zelasco is doing baseball and Wendi Venturini is at SPEED. FOX needs to get Shannon Spake away from the 4-letter/3-letter network...

YOUR THOUGHTS???

Wisconsin almost lost to UNLV a team who has only won 2 games each of the last 3 years and their running back can't travel to away games. Ohio state lacks a strong offense unlike years before. Michigan (we dont have to even go there).

I've seen more independent films being made with a certain type of sword play. It's not the films I'm focusing on, by the fighting system they use.

This fighting style seems to use katanas of average length and there were two people fighting in this particular scene. They started to go at each other but they did not draw their sword as you would expect except they took a very hands on approach. When they did weapon attack it was by flinging the sheathe in their off-hand between kicks or punches.

Ocassionally they drew the swords but with shearing speed. I admit it could be special effects that made it from sheathed to swung but it was interesting. And after they attacked with the sword they immediately sheathed it. I also noticed that when one of them drew from the hip again the defender held up his katana and drew it only half-way, successfully using it as a block.

More details follow:

Why are all Mid West schools (Notre Dame) are struggling? is it because its hard to get recruits because of the weather in Florida, Texas, and Cali?

Wisconsin almost lost to a crappy UNLV team...UM no good...OSU should have lost to Akron and WILL lose to Washington next week...Penn St is overrated..Iowa is garbage...MSU is always mediocre


Why do people still think the big-10 is better than Pac-10?

UCLA is very good.....USC is #1...Cal trounced TennU and made them look like garbage
Washington beat top 20 (longest win streak) Boise St...Oregon is better than any Big-10 team and they are projected to finish 5th in the pac-10
