Wake Me Up When It's Over

Sports Illustrated said it would be "the fight to save boxing". Even if the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight lived up to the hype, what is on the horizon for boxing? Not much.

The fight was anticlimactic. Mayweather won a split decision, and both boxers made out financially. I'm just glad they didn't get any of my money. Thank goodness for SopCast.

I'm Not As Think As You Drunk I Am

The latest Sports Illustrated makes reference to a Maxfli commercial starring notorious golfer/alcoholic John Daly that was banned by CBS. Daly is shown grabbing a beer and driving a golf cart erratically. Sports Illustrated quotes a CBS spokesperson as saying, "Any implied or direct reference to excessive consumption of alcohol would not meet network guidelines."

The commercial can be found here:
