    Is he getting the Barry Bonds head? Didn’t think so.
    Mayweather beats Cotto? Yawn. Manny beats Tim Bradley. Then what? Still that song and dance about Pac Man won’t “take” $40 mill cuz Floyd says so? Won’t do as Floyd says? How dare Manny.

        Vegas says so.
        Miguel Cotto is a 7-1 underdog in Saturday’s showdown against Floyd Mayweather. Of course he believes he will shock the world.

          Would we have heard about this had they lost? Didn’t think so.
          The rumor mill is jumping about how Floyd Mayweather dropped $1.8 million for the Clip Joint to cover as a 6-point underdog in Sunday’s 99-98 win over the Grizzlies. As we all know now, they were down by as much as 27 and trailed by 24 with 8 minutes remaining before rallying for 1 of the most stunning comebacks in NBA history.

            And so did “Bad” Chad Dawson. Bernard Hopkins used some of the dirty tactics that have allowed him to last as along as he has in the game, but Dawson was too much in a lopsided decision (1 judge didn’t see the fight everyone else was watching).

            Our daily thread of the events of the day.
            Art of perfection: Who dat? Philip Humber, that’s who. He became the 21st pitcher today to throw a perfect game as the White Sox dropped the Mariners 4-0.
            Chicago Tribune
            When you’re hot, you’re hot: Matt Kemp continued to sizzle, hitting his MLB-leading 9th homer today as the Dodgers beat the Astros. We applaud the Dodgers hot start, but you do realize much of it has been against the Pirates, Padres and Astros?
            ESPN LA
            Look who’s won 2 in a row: The Angels, with Jered Weaver leading the way, rallied to beat the O’s again.
            O.C. Register
            UFC 145: Jon Jones scored a unanimous decision over old friend Rashad Evans.

            No contest: Abner Mares dominated an old-looking Eric Morel in their bantamweight showdown tonight in El Paso.
            Boxing Scene
            A bit sensitive, no?: Now the Clippers are saying their prepared to “protect” Blake Griffin from the hard fouls he’s suffered all season. Where have these guys been all season? Are they watching the same games we are? Seriously, it’s too late to do anything now, particularly with the playoffs coming up, and the club is reacting to criticism it has received by not responding.

                  Looking at his eyes, I’m reminded of that Cockeyed Junior joke by Richard Pryor.
                  You be the judge, but Kimbo Slice’s 4th-round knockout of Brian Green with 3 seconds left in the bout looks a bit shady to us.
