Lots of stuff going on this past weekend. Some good, some not so good. Here's my rundown.
Chiefs stepped on their collective pee-pees yesterday. Defense stepped it up in the second half, but the offense looked pathetic. Miami is a bad, bad team. If the Chiefs EVER want to take it to the next level, they HAVE to beat the teams thaey are supposed to. Next Sunday is the Raiders at home. Should be a romp, but you never know. Trent Green is supposed to start. He better knock off the cob webs quick or the Raiders' D-line is going to do it for him. Especially with the O-line KC has now. Horrible.
Kevin Harvick won in Phoenix. This race wasn't even close. He was dominant all day. Jimmy Johnson had a chance at the end, but Harvick slammed the door on him. One race to go at Homestead Miami. Johnson leads Kenseth by 63 points and Harvick by 90. Unofficially, all Jimmy has to do is finish 12th or better, no matter where anyone else finishes. That sucks, because I hate anything to do with Jeff Gordon, and he happens to be co-owner of Jimmy's car. My boy, Kenseth still has a chance to win his second championship, but everything has to go right for him, and everything has to go wrong with Jimmy. We'll see how it all plays out.
K-State beat Texas. Are you kidding me? The #4 team in the nation got beat by.....well......Kansas State! No big deal 5 years ago, but now? Holy crap. Nice going Mack Brown. Now, I hate all Kansas schools, but I think I hate Texas schools more, so I guess it's a little bittersweet for me.
MU had the Bye-week, so at least they didn't lose again. Stay tuned.
Chris Shivers won the very first ever Myron Duarte Maui Challenge. The PBR went to Hawaii. They say the area was packed for 3 nights. Shivers rode all 3 bulls to take home almost $13,000.00 for 24 seconds of work. To be honest, I don't think that's enough! The greatest show on dirt!!
Saturday night was the finale for The Ultimate Fighter 4. Matt Cerra beat Chris Lytle in a controversial decision. Cerra is a great wrestler, but Lytle's sprawl was amazing. Cerra was only able to take Lytle down once the entire fight. Lytle actually looked like he got the better of Cerra, but what do I know, I'm not a UFC judge. Travis Lutter beat Patrick Cote in a classic battle. Cote had Lutter hurting when he threw a nasty hay-maker to the small of the ribs, all of the sudden, Cote came at Lutter to finish him off, but he let his guard down and with all the energy he had left, smacked Cote and knocked him silly. Great fight. This weekend, is the weekend I've been waiting for, for about a year. Matt Hughes will defend his title against the French Canadian George St. Pierre. Tim Sylvia will also try to defend his title vs. "The Monster" Monson.
Mayy Hughes is one of the greatest fighters in UFC history. Dominant. No one in his weight class can match his strength and his wrestling skills. St. Pierre is younger and a little quicker, but Hughes, at some point, will demoralize him by picking him up and slamming him to the floor of the Octagon. Then it will only be a matter of time before he starts the ol' ground-and-pound. I'll take Hughes in the second, with a knockout. Monson, is a monster. he's 5 foot 9 and weighs 240!! The dude is straight ripped! If he can get past the 15 inch reach that Sylvia has on him, I think he'll destroy "the maniac".
Well that's my take on this past weekend's sporting events and my outlooks on some of next weekend's. If you don't like it, you're wrong!

Given the extensive UFC coverage, I figured this was the most appropriate place to post this...Kurt Angle is no longer with the WWE! Apparently he is in TNA now, the other wrestling organization. Unbelievable. He was awesome in the WWE.
UFC is getting more and more popular and it's going to overtake the WWE in the next few years. The intensity of it, along with the fact that it is REAL, has got me hooked. Plus, my wife "can't stomach to watch it," so it's gotta be good, right?
That, in and of itself, might be enough to get me hooked.
Forget WWE, Dana White has mainstreamed it just enough where it has taken over boxing in popularity too. Actually, my wife likes to watch it. SO either it's just not violent enough, or my wife is a freak. I love you Gina.
