UFC 94 Flashback: GSP Defends Welterweight Title
Reigning lightweight champ BJ Penn entered his main event battle against welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre looking to become the first man in UFC history to simultaneously hold titles in two weight classes. GSP never gave him the chance to make history, as he stopped Penn after four increasingly dominant rounds to retain his belt with a TKO victory and make a compelling case for being the pound for pound best fighter in mixed martial arts.
Both fighters had considerable fan support, with vocal, flag waving delegations from the Hawaiian Islands and Canada in evidence. During ring introductions, both men received enthusiastic cheers tempered with a few boos. After the opening horn sounded, however, the Penn backers had little to cheer about while the champions supports broke out in G-S-P chants on several occasions. The first round was fairly evenly contested, with St. Pierre trying to get a first hand feel for Penns often unorthodox”but highly successful”takedown defense. GSP made several takedown attempts, but had them repeatedly stuffed by Penns incredible balance and flexibility.
Boxing guru Freddy Roach recently praised Penn as the best technical puncher in MMA, but he had no opportunity to bring this weapon to bear as he had trouble finding the range from the outset. St. Pierre was unable to complete any takedowns during the first round, but easily dictated the pace and style of the bout.
GSP began to assert his dominance in round two. He got a takedown early in the frame and began to mount a ground and pound assault while moving around in Penns legendary guard with frightening ease. At this point, it was apparent that GSPs superior strength and insane physical conditioning were going to figure prominently in the outcome of the fight.
The eventual outcome was foretold between rounds two and three, as the obviously exhausted Penn required a pep talk from his entourage to continue. Across the cage, GSP calmly sipped water and listened intently to trainer Greg Jacksons instructions looking for all the world that he could go 12 rounds if necessary.
Round three was similar to the previous one, with GSP taking his opponent to the mat with a decreasing level of resistance and mauling him with punches and elbows once he got there. His complete control over the BJJ black belt Penn was incredible, but hardly surprising given the way that GSP dominated four time NCAA All American wrestler Josh Koscheck on the ground during their matchup. That may be the most exceptional thing about Georges St. Pierre”his willingness to attack his opponents strengths and success at doing so.
The fourth round was a wall to wall rout for the Canadian welterweight champion, who started by effectively trading strikes with Penn before taking him down once again and resuming his highly successful ground based attack. At this point with GSP moving around at ease and Penn mounting little resistance it was apparent that the challenger was physically spent. St. Pierre almost ended the fight on the ground, as referee Herb Dean repeatedly reminding Penn that he needs to fight back. Penn survived the round on instinct alone, moving around just enough to keep the referee from stopping the proceedings. After the horn sounded to end the fourth round, however, it was evident that Penn had nothing physically or emotionally left. As he leaned headfirst against the cage in exhaustion, an impromptu conference amongst his handlers on whether or not to continue became moot when the fight was stopped by Dean on advice from the ringside physician. There was no argument whatsoever from Penn or his entourage.
Displaying his characteristic class, GSP delayed his celebration until he had crossed the cage and kneeled by his vanquished foe to honor his competitive spirit.
In the co-feature attraction, Lyoto Machida kept his undefeated professional MMA record intact with a first round TKO victory over Thiago Silva. Silva had no answer for Machidas well rounded skills and unorthodox Shotokan karate based style. Machida took his opponent down and knocked his opponent down twice”all counters as Silva was coming forward and Machida backing away. As the first round entered its final seconds, it appeared that Silva started to ease up in anticipation of the horn. Machida used this opportunity for another takedown, and then nailed his surprised opponent with a powerful punch that ended the fight.

Panthers Get On Track With Win Over Bucs
Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme struggled on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and was fortunate that his running backs bailed him out. Delhomme threw for only 65 yards with two interceptions, but D’Angelo Williams (152 yards) and Jonathan Stewart (110 yards) kept the chains moving as the Panthers won their second straight game defeating the Bucs 28-21. Tampa Bay has now lost ten straight dating back to last season and are 0-6 for the first time since’85. The fact that they ended up starting that year 0-9 on their way to a 1-15 record doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season. Carolina improved to 2-3 with the victory.
NFL sports bettors were faced with a choice between two teams with dismal ATS records in this game, and those who had the guts to take a 1-3 team as a -3 road favorite were rewarded with the cover. It was Carolina’s first NFL pointspread cover of the season and left them with a 1-4 record against the number. Tampa Bay has covered one of their six games this year.
Delhomme attempted only seven passes in the second half, but the way Williams and Stewart were running there was no reason to put the ball in the air. Williams said that even though Tampa Bay knew what was coming they couldn’t stop the Panthers’ running game:
“I’m sure everybody in the stadium knew what we were going to do. There were times they had nine in the box and we were still getting 7 or 8 yards.”
There’s been little impatience locally with Bucs’ rookie head coach Raheem Morris, but his weekly habit of explaining the obvious to rationalize yet another loss is starting to wear thin:
“We got overpowered at the end, and really throughout the game.”
Carolina safety Dante Wesley was ejected after clobbering Bucs’ return man Clifton Smith after a fair catch call. After the game, Wesley gave this defense for his actions:
“I was just trying to make a play. You can check my record. I’ve never really tried to hurt anybody. I’ve never tried to take a cheap shot on anybody.”
Wesley could face a possible fine or suspension from the NFL but, in all fairness, it did appear to be a momentary mental lapse as he was trying to make a big play and not a deliberate attempt to injure Smith.
Tampa’s schedule has the look of them going from ‘the frying pan into the fire’ as they host the New England Patriots next Sunday-fresh off of their 57 point drubbing of Tennessee. The Bucs are +14 home underdogs to the Patriots with the total set at 45. They’ll get a week off after that contest and return to action on November 8 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Carolina has an easier draw, hosting the Buffalo Bills next Sunday. The game is currently off the board pending the status of Bills’ QB Trent Edwards who suffered a concussion in Sunday’s win over the New York Jets. The Panthers will then play on the road the following two Sundays, traveling to Arizona and New Orleans.

Bowie Knife Care
Your bowie knife represents a considerable investment. When you purchase a quality blade, you’ll find that these are anything but “cheap.” However, you’ll also find that your knife is a reliable, trusted companion during any situation that you might face, whether hunting, fishing, camping or just working around the house. That said, these knives must be well cared for if you expect that investment to stand the test of time. What goes into proper knife care?
First, you should make sure that your knife blade stays clean and dry as much as possible. This will be impossible to do all the time, as quite a few uses require that the blade gets wet or dirty. Whether you’re skinning a deer, cleaning a fish or just setting up camp, you will find that the blade encounters moisture and dirt on a regular basis. However, if you take the time to clean and dry the blade after every use, it will hold up for a far longer period. A simple wipe down with a clean dry cloth will suffice for this.
Proper sharpening is another concern. Without the right sharpening tools and procedures, the edge of your knife will give out eventually. This is true no matter what type of metal you choose for the blade of your bowie knife. Make sure that you know how to sharpen that blade, though, or you could find that you actually cause more harm than good in your efforts. Use a whetstone or a high quality all-in-one knife sharpener for the best benefits. Also, if you’re forced to use an emergency sharpener (such as a rock in the wilderness) always make sure that you sharpen the knife properly at your first opportunity.
Another area of concern with bowie knife sharpening is proper storage. Carrying your knife in a leather sheath is fine – these are excellent options, particularly for those who don’t like the feel of a hard scabbard or sheath. However, leather tends to attract moisture, so storing the blade for a long period of time in a leather sheath might not be the best idea. Choose a well-sealed storage environment to help protect your knife from corrosion by moisture.
You should also watch out for temperature fluctuations. While the blade of your bowie knife is quite resilient, extreme temperatures can damage the temper of the blade. Therefore, never leave it out in the sun, never expose it to salt water (unless cleaned properly afterward) and make sure that you always keep the knife stored away properly, whether it’s at your side, or stored in the top of your closet.

Clemson – An All Out Sports Team
The Clemson University baseball team, apart from representing the university in the NCAA Division I college baseball is also said to participate in the Atlantic Coast Conference. While Jack Leggett is the present head coach, only two coach changes have been made since the beginning.
From the 1970’s, up until the 1990’s, Bill Winheim had been the coach of the Clemson baseball team and it was only in the year 2000 that coaches changed with Jack Leggett taking over. The Clemson home ground Stadium which can hold up to 6217 fans and spectators is known as the Doug Kingsmore Stadium and is said to host all the games played by the Clemson baseball team.
Their uniform colors have been burnt orange and northwestern purple. Clemson has always been seen as the one team that has been consistent with their wins. They have an average of 40 wins in the last 21 games. There are a number of players that have been able to go to Major league after leaving Clemson University.
Some of the great names include Jeff Baker, Brian Barnes, Kris Neson, Jerry Brooks, Mike Brown and many more. Some names are more familiar than others which are why we are going to take a look at those that are more common in much greater detail.
Scott Winchester Born on 20th April 1973, Scott Winchester joined major league straight from Clemson University and made his debut for Cincinnati Reds on 8th Sept. 1997 and was a right handed pitcher. When he retired from the game on 9th August 2001 after making his final appearance playing for the Cincinnati Reds, his stats did not do enough justice to his true capabilities. His win loss ratio was 3:8 while his earned run rate was 5.42 with 55 strike outs.
Ken Vining was another popular player who played as a pitcher. Being born on December the 5th, 1974, Ken made his debut for the Chicago White Sox on May 23, 2001. His last appearance for the Sox was on July 5th, 2001.
With an earned run average of 17.55 and just 3 strike outs, Vining’s career statistics also did not show his real capabilities.
Matt White Matt White who was born on 19th August 1977 was a relief pitcher and made his debut appearance for the Boston Red Sox on 27th May 2003. Matt however, did not stop at playing for one team and was known to have played for the Seattle Mariners, Yokohama Bay Stars, Washington Nationals as well as the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions.
His career statistics show that he had a win loss ratio of 0-2 with an earned run average of 16.76. Matt was also only able to make three strike outs. Seeing from his career, it shows that Matt was a much better player in the field in comparison to statistical numbers.

Bengals Make Short Work Of Bears
Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.
The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1′ home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3. The 55 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 42′. The Bengals have gone OVER in four of seven games this year while the Bears evened their NFL totals mark at 3-3.
A smug Benson described his feelings after the win:
“Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff.”
Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:
“I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I’m not shoving anything in anybody’s face. Like I say, it wasn’t a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities.”
He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check:
“There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling.”
Bengals’ receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:
“I don’t understand why it went this way today and why it didn’t go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do.”
Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:
“That was pretty embarrassing. It’s embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do.”
The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They’ll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. They’ll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

Delhomme Continues To Struggle In Panthers’ Loss To Bills
Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme is having a season he’d like to forget, and things got even worse on Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills. Despite dominating the Bills on the stat sheet, Delhomme threw three interceptions that allowed Buffalo to take a 20-9 victory over the struggling Panthers. Delhomme threw for 325 yards, though without any touchdowns. The Panthers dropped to 2-4 while the Bills improved to 3-4.
Buffalo rewarded NFL pointspread players with the outright victory as +7 road underdogs. The Bills have covered four of their seven games this season, while the Panthers have an awful record against the spread-they’ve only covered once this season for a 1-5 ATS mark. The 29 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 37. Buffalo has gone UNDER in 4 of 7 games this season while Carolina evened their NFL totals mark at 3-3.
The Bills’ Terrell Owens was again a non-factor, but gave credit to the defense for earning the victory:
“You can’t really complain about a win. Defensively, those guys are keeping us in ballgames.”
Buffalo defensive end Chris Kelsay commended his team’s victory on the road:
“Never once on the sidelines was there any doubt that we were going to win the game. Regardless if it’s an ugly win over not, it’s hard to win in this league.”
Ryan Fitzpatrick started at QB for Buffalo in place of the injured Trent Edwards and was solid, if not spectacular. Coach Dick Jauron observed:
“He made the plays when we had to make them.”
Panthers’ coach John Fox has said he’s going to’re-evaluate’ whether the struggling Delhomme should continue to start, and even the quarterback himself couldn’t make an emphatic case that he should keep his job:
“In my heart, yeah, but I mean let’s be honest, I don’t think I’m a dummy. When you’re not playing well offensively, you always have to look at the quarterback.”
The Panthers’ schedule doesn’t get easier this week as they head west for a game against the improving Arizona Cardinals. Carolina is a +9 road underdog with the total set at 43′. They’ll head south the following week to face the red hot New Orleans Saints. Buffalo will host the Houston Texans this weekend, with the game currently off the board due to injuries on both teams.

Currently The Top 5 Sports Activities Inside America
The USA is definitely a “sports nation”, the top five sporting activities in fact are tremendous revenue earners and as drivers of allot of the US culture. Let’s look at just what these top five sports are.
1) Football. This must never be mixed-up with “soccer”. Football is arguably the most genuine amongst pretty much all United states sporting activities. Although “American football” leagues have actually sprouted up in Europe, these are generally pretty much subsidiaries within the United States National Football League, the NFL. Usually, football is not really experienced anywhere besides the US along with Canada. In Canada one can find a small number of differing rules, as in the end zones becoming a whole lot bigger, and don’t forget the game is not at all as popularly accepted there.
Throughout the United States, football is definitely a Fall and early Wintertime passion professionally and also at the collegiate level. coming from rugby, football at this time showcases the hugest single-day sports function throughout the world the Super Bowl, originally played in 1968. Football players as well as the coaches are quite often superstars, and furthermore football cheerleaders are ranked among the sexiest women in the world. The game’s Television viewings are made a great deal more popular because the fact that games are solely played one time a week throughout the season. When football season is in, each and every single game is frequently a great excuse for a get together. This sport’s blend of chess like strategy, high level athleticism, as well as violence help to make it an hard to beat indulgence for multitudes of sports addicts.
2) Baseball. Baseball is an American invention derived from Cricket. It’s older than football and continues to be labeled as the “American pastime” even when its popularity started to become surpassed by football in the seventies. A ball cap, mitt, and baseball bat are still staples of American youths. Being a effective baseball hitter is still known to be by many to be one of the most challenging athletic feats around the world, and amazing pitchers are still living legends. Baseball began to be eclipsed as the great American sport a few decades ago as a result of of its rather slow pace within the contemporary world and its persistent adherence to tradition in this time of advancing technology.
The players’ strikes of 1981 and 1994 did not help things with this sport, and even presently instant replay is strictly limited. Critics of this game also believe that the season is too drawn out and that, nowadays, the playoffs seem to be, as well. Nevertheless when all is said and done, baseball is still the most attended American sport, and it has transformed into an world sensation with significant followings in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and South America as well as having a professional Canadian club (there used to be two).
3) Basketball. Other than football, this is the biggest college sport around the United states. A game that can be inexpensive to get involved with, basketball is nowadays the most global of all American sports activities. Basketball hoops and school gymnasium and neighborhood courts are everywhere. Starting off in the mid-1960s basketball has developed to be a core part among black American lifestyle, while since the mid-1990s the NBA has brought in a large number of extremely well talented European basketball players in addition.
4) Ice hockey. Ice hockey is without question more prominent throughout Canada compared to football, baseball, and basketball put together in the United States, also, the game is huge throughout Western Europe. However, along with its speed, violence, and necessary ice skating ability, ice hockey has gained large numbers of fans in the US since the 1960s. The National Hockey League is made up of an global spectrum of professionals and it’s certainly the only American sport in which the bulk of professional players is composed of non-Americans.
5) Soccer. Referred to as “football” everywhere else around the world, soccer has slowly but surely formed significant inroads throughout the United States. Soccer might be the most common sports activity on the globe, which means it was merely a matter of time before it became big time throughout the U.S.
Soccer in the U.S, persists as being a sport thats generally highly prevalent amongst the young boys and girls and high school teens yet struggles to contend against the other top 4 sports within the college and professional levels, very likely due to the fact that it is the least American game of them all. For the pro level in the US, indoor soccer (which is generally faster-paced, increased scoring, and in some ways way more similar to ice hockey as compared with its counterpart) is pretty much as popular professionally as original soccer.
