Canelo has also jumped to 175 pounds at light heavyweight and beaten a champion in Sergey Kovalev and won a title in that weight class. Now he wants to fight a cruiserweight belt holder for their title.
Hey NFL, please stop subjecting us to Thanksgiving football games in Detroit!!! The Lions are annually awful, why must we do this every year. There are other teams with domes, if they need the game to be inside, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Houston. Tradition is not a logical reason to continue to do something. Logic at some point has to take over at the NFL offices.
Rams vs Packers – Two of the best teams in the NFC battle it out on Sunday at 4:30 pm. I expect a shootout, the Packers just lost a shootout to the Vikings last week, and with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey on the Rams I expect them to have just enough to beat the MVP. (Expect to see OBJ get involved for LA)
A St Louis business executive Dave Peacock was very adamant in keeping the Rams in town.He was reached for comments but he never returned any of my calls.
After a decent start to their season, the Kings are getting worse. They are 6-11 and dropped to the 12th spot in the Western Conference. The Kings fired their head coach Luke Walton on Sunday and named Alvin Gentry their interim head coach.
In an ugly effort from Baltimore, that included Lamar Jackson being blitzed into hell by the Dolphins. I am a beat reporter for the Washington Football Team. And I was closely watching that game as my rooting interest and as my season long writing assignment while Tom Brady threw two interceptions.
The Rams believe they have the QB to properly run their system, a defense that can get folks off the field. So, is OBJ the last piece of the puzzle of a championship team? Or is this the last stop and part 3 of a cautionary tale of a wasted talent.
Lions vs Browns – The Lions have been very tricky even though they haven’t won any games yet. This might be the week that they finally get off the Schnide as Baker and the Browns have been trending in the wrong direction in the midst of a very disappointing season
The Bucks, Celtics and Hawks are playoff-bound teams, but at the start of the season, things aren’t looking good. Can they regroup? Only time will tell.
Falcons vs Cowboys – Cowboys have had some struggles in the last couple of games. They were blown out by Denver. The Cowboys should win this game going away, but I didn’t expect that to happen, Atlanta is 4-4 after a rough start. This game will come down to the wire. But Dallas is too good. Cowboys win.
Two days after testing positive for COVID-19, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers revealed he’s been taking various drugs
Terrance Crawford is considered one of the top 5 pound for pound fighters in the world but hasn’t had the chance to prove because he’s not on the promotional roster (PBC) that has all of the best Welterweight fighters. Shawn Porter a top 5 Welterweight who is a PBC fighter was willing to come “across the street” to fight him.

The Western Conference has its share of contenders, but there are a few surprises in the mix.
There are surprise teams playing well, and if contenders sleep on any of these teams, they
could hurt their championship chances.
This year, there are some teams who most fans wouldn’t consider contenders making some noise. They are looking like playoff contenders, and if everything goes right, we’ll see them in the playoffs when it’s time. This is especially true for the Eastern Conference. With that said, let’s take a look at Eastern Conference teams that are exceeding expectations.
This is a special season for the NBA, and to commemorate such a noteworthy anniversary, the NBA decided to honor some of its best players. The NBA announced its 75th Anniversary team, which included greats like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and current players like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The October 12 deposition reminds the ongoing legal battle between Vanessa Bryant, the widow of the late Kobe Bryant, and the sheriff’s department, fire department
Giants vs Chiefs – Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to put this on a Monday night. Schedule Gods please explain?? Andy Reid’s worst nightmare, losing to the stinky Giants at home on national television. Well folks it is Halloween weekend, but Michael Myers ain’t dead yet, and neither are the Chiefs. Mahomey and Big Andy figure out a way to slide by G-Men.
However, Dan Snyder as a part of the “punishment” was supposed to quarantine away from team operations. He then was to put in charge during this time away, someone totally disconnected to him and able to give the team some distance from the past right?
Chiefs vs Titans – Chiefs win in a squeaker. It’s a 50/50 game with the way King Henry is running and the way Patrick Mahomes is turning it over. If Mahomes can stay away from Turnovers, the Chiefs win. If they turn it over a bunch like they have been and they are in trouble.
Simmons reported to Wells Fargo Center on Monday and took a COVID test. He also passed a physical and held a brief meeting with the Sixers’ front office on Tuesday. So, there’s a good chance we’ll see him in a Sixers uniform this season. But for how long?
First it was leaked out that Gruden in 2011 made comments about the NFL Players Association Attorney De Maurice Smith’s appearance in a racist trope about his lips. This was in frustration because of the labor unrest at that time facing the possibility of no season or a lockout shortened season.
Bills vs Chiefs – Game of the week in my eyes. The Chiefs have two losses already, to win this game would re-establish them at the league’s best team. The Bills are squashing people, and playing really well, and have the momentum. The Chiefs have come back to the pack a bit. Bills establish themselves as an elite team in the league.
If someone is a gun enthusiast and believes wholeheartedly in the second amendment, or they don’t believe in abortion, or they disagree with me on tax policy. Those are positions within the norm of political differences. We can argue about these things and have a beer and go home still being friends. But this isn’t the type of conservative that Sage Steele is. She’s disgusted with the vaccine mandate that ESPN has put in place to keep their workplace safe. Steele also has an issue with the way some women who aspire to be in broadcasting dress.
Bubba Wallace made history on Monday, becoming the first Black race car driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race since Wendell Scott in 1963.

Steelers vs Packers – Big Ben looks old as Methusalah, and Aaron Rodgers and his hippy hair have the Packers playing good ball after rough week one. Packers for the win.
Some would say that Manny Pacquiao has had three Hall of Fame careers. One where he fought his famous rivals at 130-135 pounds. Six wins over Morales, Marquez, and Barrera would put him in the hall of fame alone.
Cardinals vs Jaguars – The Jaguars made a major mistake giving their head coaching job to Urban Meyer, the countdown clock to his quitting and going back to his old day job of being a College head coach has started. Cardinals for the win.
In response to this discomfort, one place of solace many black students turned to were coming home to HBCU’s. Enrollment has shot up across the country as many of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. With many black athletes starting to feel disenchanted with southern white male coaches at major universities, now they are exploring other options. That option is playing ball at an HBCU. Big name recruits that would have scoffed at going to an HBCU years ago are now considering it.
Jokic had an excellent season, where he averaged a career-best in several categories. He averaged 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists (all career best). Jokic also played in all 72 games last season and averaged another career-best in minutes (playing 34.6 minutes per game).
Wall is a talented player, and if he lands with the right team, he’ll be a valuable contributor; only time will tell where he lands.
Rams vs Colts – The shellacking of poor Carson Wentz continues. He was pummeled terribly in week 1, and seeing Aaron Donald on deck in week 2, it won’t get much better. Rams and Matt Stafford roll over the Colts. LA gets the W!
De La Hoya tested positive for the coronavirus and the plans changed. So, in stepped former Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield who is a whopping 58 years of age.
In the early 1900s, sports were growing at predominantly white schools, but at those schools there were very few black athletes recruited. Sports have a
The NFL’s return is upon us once again, and it’s that time to start making predictions about how things will play out this year. After a year of playing in front of empty stadiums, makes it an exciting prospect to have full stadiums once again.
