Floyd Mayweather vs. Larry Merchant

The above might be the greatest poll espn has ever made.  I took Merchant by KO.  In all seriousness, what Mayweather did was perfectly legal, but a sucker punch.

Most the blame should land on the ref, Joe Cortez.  In a stoppage in the fight the ref is supposed to send both fighters to their corners, take points away, give warning, or whatever has to be done, and then tell the boxers to touch gloves and that the fight is back on.  Joe Cortez did none of these things besides take the point away.  The rest of the blame lands on Oritz.  The number one rule in boxing is protect yourself at all times, Ortiz did not do this.  He apologized once for his headbutt (which was very cheap and obviously intentional), even kissed Mayweather, and then proceeded to hug him again.  There is no need for that, this is boxing, let the ref take away the point, touch gloves, and fight.  He is there to beat Mayweather up, not to make friends with him.  Ortiz gave Mayweather an opening and did not 'protect himself at all times.'

With all that being said, Mayweather's threw a sucker punch to win that fight.  Mayweather clearly saw that Ortiz was trying to apologize and was not ready to fight.  Ortiz was backing up from hugging him and was looking at the ref with his hands down waiting for indication that the fight was back on.  Mayweather did not have to take advantage of a situation like that to win the fight.  He could of easily won by just taking advantage of being a far superior boxer.  Ortiz should not of even been in the same ring as Mayweather.  If Mayweather did not want to hug he should of pushed Ortiz back and let it be known we are boxing, not exchanging pleasantries.  This does not make him the cheapest or dirtiest boxer of all time, but the move he pulled is one you would expect from a guy with no chance of winning the fight to pull, not from one of the best boxers of our generation.

Sarah Palin's Contribution to Basketball

You are probably wondering why a picture of Sarah Palin is on here and what she has to do with sports.  This one is too good not to post up.

New Biography Claims Sarah Palin Had A One-Night Stand With Glen Rice In 1987

The National Enquirer grabbed some details from the upcoming Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin book, and this chunk is too delightful not to share with you immediately. Apparently Palin had a fling with former Heat/Hornet/Laker Glen Rice while he was in college and while she was a sports reporter in Alaska, all the way back in 1987. Rice confirms it in the book.

Here's the Enquirer:

In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud Glen Rice less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd.

Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.

A publishing source told The ENQUIRER that McGinniss claims Sarah had a "fetish" for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had "hauled (Rice's) ass down."
[...]
In the book, McGinniss quotes Rice as confirming the one-night stand.

 I guess Glen Rice was hitting more then just 3's back in his Michigan days.
