(2) Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva - Rampage is 0-2 against Silva, yet the coach on season 7 of The Ultimate Fighter has referred to his foe as "The Chump Murderer" -- a clear sign of a rivalry.

As he held his 16-pound bowling ball in his hands and looked down the lane toward the pins standing before him, 78-year-old Dale Davis saw only a blur. He couldn't see the lane. He couldn't see the pins. He couldn't see the people who had gathered behind him to see whether the blind man could accomplish something no one else at this alley ever had.

With any luck, the upstart league will be able to carve away a little bit of the NFL?s massive market while giving players like Eric Crouch and Peter Warrick another shot at gridiron glory. It?s a tough proposition, though; history is littered with the tales of fledgling professional sports leagues that flamed out quickly.

With the memory of Barbaro still fresh, Eight Belles' catastrophic breakdown Saturday put increasing focus on a sport already trying to overcome a decline in popularity. A prominent animal rights group got involved Sunday, too, criticizing Eight Belles' jockey for whipping the horse and saying the second-place prize should be revoked.

Oscar De La Hoya did what he had to do. Steve Forbes did what he'd hoped to do. De La Hoya was dominant over 12 rounds against Forbes on Saturday night, winning a clear, deserved and unanimous decision. His punches were heavier, his selection of punches more varied, his jab stiffer and stronger.

"We're live, babe!"That's horse trainer Richard Dutrow Jr.'s stable-speak, his way of telling friends he expects his colt Big Brown to win the 134th Kentucky Derby on Saturday. For Big Brown, undefeated but having raced only three times, the Derby (4 p.m. ET, NBC; post time 6:04) is a chance to validate the hype

Be careful what you hook up. Aside from picking some vicious industrial garbage, you can bring to the surface some strange and unmentionable things. Most fishermen will happily brag about an extraordinary big fish. But sometimes the catch is so bizarre, that they'd rather forget it over a drink or two.

While it's staged so most of the blows and stamps don't actually connect, and chairs are generally smashed on the front of heads so the victim can see it coming and move - it's still very physical. The more boos and cheers they get, the more wins they're allowed and the higher they go up the ladder. The moment the roar dies, they'll start losing.

The Flora London Marathon was enormous for us with over 30 record attempts among the 30,000+ runners. From clowns to superheroes, from stilt walkers to Maasai warriors, everyone was up for some marathon record breaking.
