I’ve received enough press releases on this Monday to warrant a full post. Sometimes, one press release can stand alone, but in this case, I’ll be more than happy to string a few together. First, HBO will provide its exclusive replay of the Joe Calzaghe win over Roy Jones, Jr. this Saturday on World Championship […]

Neither have anything to do with one another, this is just one way for me to clear out some of my e-mail and also provide you with some information.

In the second round of the so-far incredibly boring Klitschko-Ibragimov fight on HBO, play-by-play announcer Jim Lampley noted that Wladimir Klitschko was beginning to land his left jab with regularity. Two minutes later, boxing charlatan Max Kellerman said, “Klitschko is beginning to land his jab with regularity.” Thanks for the stellar analysis, Max. I hope […]

As I just finished watching the new Red Sox DVD about the 2007 season, I figured it’s time to give you some more linkage this evening.

I can’t believe I haven’t put any boxing videos on this site. The old fights from the 1970’s were great stuff especially in the Heavyweight division, Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton and of course, George Foreman.

Time to check out some updates from today. First, I’ve been checking ESPN2’s Wimbledon coverage through it’s broadband service, ESPN360 (only available through participating Internet Service Providers).
