Video: Dana White Comments on James Toney's MMA Defeat
Last night at UFC 118 James "Lights Out" Toney took a beating from MMA and UFC legend Randy Couture. Toney was forced to submit late in round one, after Couture applied an arm-triangle choke that literally turned out Toney's lights. Pun clearly intended, poorly utilized.It was exactly what I and most of the fighting public assumed it would be, a fight where Couture would take James down and beat him up. The stand up action along with Toney's chances lasted all of 20 seconds.
It was clear the Toney wasn't qualified to be in the ring with such a seasoned MMA fighter like Couture. He wasn't able to do anything from his back once Randy got him to the ground, and that to me was extremely disappointing. If you talk trash, then work to improve your skill set so you have a 'real' chance to win.
I've been a fan of James Toney since he was a slick boxing middleweight taking on the likes of Michael Nunn and Mike McCallum in the early 90's. I was 14 years old when he fought Roy Jones Jr. for the super-middleweight title, and I can remember being glued to the t.v. set for that entire fight. James Toney the boxer has had a great career, but the new MMA fighter sucks.
Check out Dana White on James Toney after last nights event. Kudos to Fanhouse.
Dana may have said James Toney was done, but Toney's post fight comments went in a different direction. When asked would he fight in MMA again, Toney replied he would fight again because he isn't a quitter.
Do us all a favor James and just don't. Please and thanks.

Top College Prospect Schools John Wall Twice.....
The bottom line is that Wall got crossed over and ripped in the sequence by a very talented young man. It's basketball and it happens, but you don't usually get video evidence of a #1 draft pick getting embarrassed.
In case you weren't aware, Austin is the son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers.

Just a Few Good Links....R.I.P. BallHype
R.I.P. to Ball Hype.When I started my blog in early 2009, Ball Hype was one of the first sites I found that featured articles and news strictly from other bloggers. It was a critical tool in the development of Sports with Mr. Factoid. The networking opportunity was invaluable.
I really enjoyed the chance to be apart of the Ball Hype family. Wonder who's going to try BallHypeJr?
Here are a few links now.

Cromartie also has some very talented and potent sperm, as he's managed to father 8 kids during his short NFL career. During last nights episode of HBO's Hard Knocks, Cromartie seemed to struggle when asked to name his kids and their ages. Take a look for yourself and you can be the judge.

Video: The Mailman's Hall of Fame Induction Speech
Video: Scottie Pippen's Hall of Fame Induction Speech
My list of favorite players isn't very long, and a lot of people discount some of my guys, but that's why it's my list. Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen, Grant Hill, Kevin Garnett, and Dennis Rodman make up my top five favs. Other than Rodman, you should be able to see a unique trend in the talent.Growing up in the 1980's & 1990's blessed me with the opportunity to see some of basketball's greatest talents. The Lakeshow of the 1980's facing off against Larry Bird's Celtics provided me with some of my earliest memories of hardwood excellence.
All that brings me to the Chicago Bulls, who are arguably the greatest dynasty to have ever played the game. We all know that Michael Jordan is the best player ever, but his right hand man is one of my all time favorites. Pip could do it all on the basketball court, and I admired him most for his tenacious defense and unselfish play. Scottie always understood his role and he flourished in the triangle offense because of his premiere passing ability.
There isn't an argument among intelligent hoops fans that Jordan couldn't have won without Scottie Pippen, but every blue moon I hear some lames making the case for just the opposite. It pains me to hear such nonsense, especially considering just how valuable Pippen really was. In my opinion #33 is the best #2 guy of all time.
The Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame inducted Pippen into it's family this past weekend in a grand ceremony that included other legends; Karl Malone, Cynthia Cooper, Bob Hurley Sr., Dennis Johnson (DJ), Gus Johnson, and the Dream Team.

Cowardly Boyfriend Bails on Foul Ball....Girlfriend Takes the Hit.
The jackwad in the clip clearly lacked a bit of courage. The incident occurred at the Braves/Astros game last night. Take a look as the boyfriend moves at the last minute of his attempt to catch a foul ball. Unfortunately, he didn't tell his girl to do the same.
Letting your girlfriend get hit by a foul ball may seem funny, well it is funny, but I would bet my left testicle he won't be getting any of those goodies until that bruise heals. His excuse about losing it in the lights was lame too! Come on buddy.
Anthony Tolliver Presents "The Decision....Part Deux!!"
Anthony Tolliver just schooled Prince James on how to make a "major" announcement. Short, sweet, and to the point.
I fear that he might find himself on Lebron's radar next season though. Probably not a good thing for him when the Prince does come calling.
Crazy Stat:
ONLY 2 NBA players during 2009-10 season, averaged at least 11 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, shot at least 33% from the three point line, and had an assist to turnover ratio greater than 1.6 to 1.
Lebron James and Anthony Tolliver
(I stole that stat from WarriorsFanForNow on youtube.) I did research it and can concur.

Hoops Video: Big Time Slam from High Schooler
So after scouring the net for some hoops highlights, I was lucky enough to come across a basketball clip that is definitely worthy of your time.
When hoops fans here the name Dominique, it immediately conjures up memories of the "Human Highlight Film" Dominique Wilkins, who was arguably the greatest dunker of all time. This clip features a new Dominique, and his performance may be just as good as some of the originals.

Trick Shot Mastery by The Legendary Shots.....
The incredible shot you're about to witness was launched from a platform 134 feet in the air, near the top of the Vulcan monument in Birmingham, Alabama.
The basket is quite possibly the longest of its kind, although another group of kids from Texas claim their shot is the true world record.
