I love Dave sometimes...
Today's awesome...
I need to invent new stars to give to this quote.
--The Las Vegas Sun at www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sports/2007/jun/22/566641739.html on Bob Arum copying from UFC. He and Vince McMahon both are
on that kick now. Unlike McMahon, Arum said, Arum said UFC guys "fight like girls." The story is funny as he yelled about the Republicans on the athletic
commission that fined Jose Luis Castillo $250,000 for failing to make weight against Diego Corrales. More on UFC: "I don't think it's competitive from
the standpoint of the actual contest," he said. "They certainly have a better presentation than boxing people do. They have attracted a very young audience,
but look who they appeal to....Look at the UFC fighters. 90-something percent are big white guys from the Midwest." So I woke up this morning and said,
what a beautiful morning it is here in the Midwest. I wish I could go to the beach, but damn, I live in the Midwest. Well, actually I do wish I could go
to the beach, but I've got to write about a show that featured a Vietnamese guy from San Jose, a Mexican guy from San Jose, an Italian guy from New York,
another Mexican guy from San Jose, an African-American son of a pro wrestler, an African-American guy who ate too many donuts from Modesto, a cocky white
guy from Stanford, and some Brazilian guy who everyone runs up to him and thinks it's his brother. Freaking clueless out-of-touch semi-racist boxing promoters.
