SITE HAS MOVED

Since I was the only one posting for the past few months I thought I would move away from this site and start my own. For well over a year there hasn't been anyone posting for the Cards so the name itself was real reason for moving. Check out the new site - The Shannon Speculation Continue

Highlights from UFC 102

I was working last night in Bowling Green. Our agency had a table at the Hot Rods baseball game so my duties as an employee took me there. Wasn't that bad because I got to watch a baseball game while working. They downside was in addition to being away from my family I missed one of the most anticipated fights in MMA History. Folks have been wanting to see Randy and Nog go at if for years. Finally it happened last night. I was able to see it on line this afternoon and I have… Continue

Mark Kriegel - He is Kentucky Fried!

Here is the lastest video post from Fox's Mark Kriegel. In this edition, he calls Kentucky Fired Coaches, he points to the ills of the Commonwealth by pointing out things of Pitino, Gillispie and Calipari. Saying that the boys at Kentucky turned a blind eye to what happened at Memphis (duh) and then tries to tie in what Billy did with Kentucky. Hummm if anything Billy G getting a DUI while in town helps for others to see that he was like many thought....a ticking time bomb. I… Continue

What's The Problem? It's your fault

Let me start by saying I had decided to not really get into posting on Rick and the Karen Sypher deal for a couple of reasons. One by the time I got a chance to due to work it was old. For another I didn't really see the point since the University of Louisville has chosen to turn a blind eye towards the whole deal in the name of wins. Really had their football coach do… Continue

NCAA - Hands Down Another Ruling for Memphis Along With Their Hypocrisy

Well the day after Memphis gets the news that their 2007-2008 season was to be striped, the NCAA announced that Elliot Williams is eligible to play next season. Williams you might remember transferred from Duke after last season. Williams left and wanted to go back to his hometown because of his mother being diagnosed with Cancer. Williams had initially picked the Bluedevils over Memphis, T… Continue

Farve update and something to really be happy about.

SOOOO sick of the Farve stuff. Make up your mind once and for all. Here is the one question I have....what will make his season a success? Getting into the playoffs or better? If he doesn't make it does he come back for one more year? Note to Brett - Joe Montana has been this route and it didn't turn out so well. Sure he took the Chiefs to playoff games but his stats were down across th… Continue

Radiers vs. Brett Farve - who is more outlandish?

The mind mannered man seen here is Tom Cable. In case you didn't know he is the new head coach of the LA Raiders. He is making news today because he went all Buddy Ryan on his defensive coach and busted up his jaw. Reports say that Randy Hanson was hospitalized earlier this month after being blind sided by Cable, according to one team source and one league source with ties to the c… Continue

Gina gets blasted as Cyborg wins womens title

Strikeforce's main event along with 2 other fights tonight ended in the frist round. Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos was too fast, too strong and just too much for Gina Carano to hand;e. She finished her off as the horn sounded with some nasty shots from the top. Cyborg had Gina in trouble real early when she caught her in a heel hook yet Gina was able to slip out. Gina try t… Continue

Hey man am I fighting or you?

Well Strikeforce signs Fedor last week making headlines in the MMA world. Today they make it again only this time it's because Nick Diaz has been scratched from his title bout this Saturday. Apparently Nick, who has been busted by the athletic commission in the past for failing a drug test (Marijuana), didn't show for a drug test. He was then given a deadline of today for a second chance drug test which he… Continue
