They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Well what if that old dog’s tricks are working just fine? Enter David Beckham. Beckham is 34 years old, a father, and international superstar. So why continue? Look we can all safely say that his MLS experiment was a failure. Beckham came to the U.S. seeking to change the landscape of soccer. However this was doomed from the start. Americans want goals, crazy shots, fast play, and tricks (A+B Right stick up) that only can be done in video games. That is not Beckham’s game. Beckham throughout his career has been a provider, a setup man.

Power Rankings Week 11

I do not fear the backlash. Read on.

1- New Orleans Saints: They are here by default. Still undefeated yet really unchallenged by a good team. They hold on against mediocre teams to hold on to the top spot.

2- Indianapolis Colts: Let’s be honest, they lost to a better team but I was convinced not to put them behind the team that they just beat.

2b- New England Patriots: The aforementioned ‘team they just beat’. The Patriots have one more shot at an undefeated team next week. Hope this week isn’t a trap game.

UFC 107: Nothing New But What Lies Ahead?

Saturday night’s UFC event, held at the FedEx Forum, was a good look into the future of both the promotion’s lightweight and heavyweight divisions.  All of the favorites on the main card won, and few even wound up interesting.  The UFC, as a world class MMA production, seems to be running a bit stale as of lately.  Headlining fights over the last few months have been one sided, lacking action, or unjustly scored.  Can you remember the last time a title belt exchanged hands in the UFC?  It was July 11th when Brock Lesnar defeated Frank Mir for the heavyweight title.  Unable to fight due to illness, Lesnar has not defended his crown nearly half a year later, and won’t be fighting anytime soon.  The middleweight belt has been held by Anderson Silva for more than 3 years now.  There is nothing wrong with that, but can you name another UFC middleweight?

The most dominate athlete on the planet right now is not Kobe, not Federer, not David Beckham, nor Albert Pujols, but rather its Jimmie Johnson. If you don't know of him, you clearly don't follow NASCAR. Jimmie Johnson has won 4 straight NASCAR Sprint Cups and doesn't look to be slowing down this year. That is, if some of the other drivers don't have something to say about it.

I won't get into the nuances of the sport because you really won't appreciate it unless you go to a race. If you like having a great time with a lot of people, you need to visit your closest track. This season NASCAR has taken the chains off the drivers' emotions and has opened the door for something similar to Road Rash for Sega Genesis, minus the whips and motorcycles. If a driver gets spun out, expect him to retaliate.
