Re: Sports thread; everything sport realted in here...

Anybody here follows boxing?
my favorite fighter Marcos Maidana just beat Adrian Broner in a world championship match.
I was literally jumped from my couch and raised my hand in victory like I was the fighter in the ring.
it was a long time coming, Broner is known for his big mouth antics and thinks he is Mayweather, when he is far from him.
This fight exposed him big time.

Navy run to 34-7 win over Army

OH man this is the 12th year in a row that Navy football had defeated the Army. For those who don't know, every year the two famous US academies (US Naval Academy vs. US Military Academy at West Point) played against each other. Dang...that's 3 whole senior class without ever beating Navy. I think the Army needs to change their style of play.

OH well, next year. GO ARMY SINK NAVY!

West Point Army Cadets

Navy Midshipmen

The weather in Philly was brutal yesterday a rain snow mix with cold temperatures.. by the middle of the 3rd quater many of the fans had left the game. But the Midshipmen and Corps of cadets stood fast..

Go Navy! Beat Army!!

I like the change of football uniforms by both teams, especially the Navy one.

I believe Romo had better do really well in the next two games and get the Cowboys into the playoffs.

His two interceptions at the end of the game led directly to the Packers winning!

I like Romo as an individual, and he has a lot of great skills...but it just seems he is snake bit when it comes to the home stretch and getting to the playoffs, and then, on the very few times he does...he never takes the 'Boys anywhere.

If he can win the next two and get to the playoffs, and then win 2 or 3 games in the playonffs and show serious contention for the NFC championship or Super Bowl...then I think he will put a lot of that behind him.

But if he screws up, Jones will start having to think about another QB because the fans have had just about enough.

I'll take Romo over Schaub any day as QB for the Texans.

I used to, but not as much anymore. There aren't anymore exciting new fighters out there. Dana White (CEO of UFC) has pretty much turned the industry into a WWE and boxing style of selecting certain fighters in each weight class to capture as much paid per view audience as possible. Although Anderson "The Spider" Silva is still one of my favorite.
