Link Dump (1/5/2010): What Caught Factoids Eye?

I really enjoyed the holidays this year. It's always nice to spend time with family & friends and last year wasn't any different. I may have spent more money than I wanted to, but it was all worth it. With that said, it's a new year and a new decade for us all and I'm very excited about what the future holds.


The NFL regular season has come to an end in the blink of an eye. I swear I was just doing my fantasy drafts and setting up my pigskin pick em league. A few weeks back it looked like we may end up with two undefeated teams, as the Saints and Colts marched towards history. The end result was both teams finishing with losses heading into the playoffs. Colts fans were the most upset about not chasing the history books. Coach Jim Caldwell found out that the dogs(media) can turn on you in a flash.


Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. still haven't settled their dispute over drug testing, although a mediator is currently working with both sides in a last minute effort to save the biggest money making fight in boxing history. Rumors are flying about who would replace Mayweather if the two sides cannot come to an agreement. Guys like Yuri Foreman, Pauli Malignaggi, and even Zab Judah are being mentioned to take Floyd's place. Check back with me regularly and take a look at the tweets at the bottom right side of the blog for the latest details.


There is definitely a lot going on in the world of sports, so let's take a look at a few things that caught my eye on the first Tuesday of the new year.
