Lets Be Honest

I am very into almost every sport, except NBA. So, i have decided to add a co-blogger for now, who for the time being, will be periodically doing NBA Blogs. His name is Tom Molitaris and he is an expert in NBA stats and knows whats going on.

A USS for the UFC

It is being called the Ultimate Saturday Showdown. It could do a world of wonders for MMA and UFC if Brock Lesnar could take down Frank Mir on Saturday night. This will be a fight I will be glued to my couch to watch. Just one opinion on the Pay Per View aspect of the fight. Putting a fight on Pay Per View is a must for this corperation. They make alot of there profit from the money they recieve. Yet, it is unbelieveable the amount you pay for a fight like this. I just scrolled to Saturday night on my TV, and they charge 44.99 for this fight. I will be a hypocrite and watch the fight anyway, yet there is still a problem. Fights like these could end in 40 seconds. Imagine you being a boss of a company, you have millions of employees that work 40 seconds and you must turn around and pay them 44.99. This aspect must be looked at if this sport will succeed in the future.

Operation Replacement

We all know Hal Gil and Rob Scuderi were the shutdown pair of defensemen for the Penguins en route to there Stanley Cup Victory over the Wings. Gil can be replaced from within the system as the Penguins have many good defensemen. Scuderi on the other hand is almost impossible to replace. Key word: ALMOST. The Pens are talking, and very closing to signing defensemen Jay McKee. McKee was a member of the St. Louis Blues last year, playing 69 games and tallying 1 goal with 7 assists. Not much offensive production, but more than Scuderi. He is a shutdown defensemen that is as good as Scuderi. St. Louis bought out the final 2 years of his contract, (2 years, 4 million dollars) but dont let this turn you away. They did it to make room for younger talent, thats all. There is speculation that the Penguins have already signed him, but no official report has been reported yet, so I am not willing to confirm the rumors. As soon as it happens, you will see it here.
