Now I want to justify this before anything else. I don't condone what LeGarrette Blount did in punching Byron Hout.
Now if you have been in a cave for the last week and a half here is the video of what happened:
Now that is out of the way, I have to say that D-Bag Byron Hout got what he deserved. Hout deserves to get suspended. Especially when the NCAA was having there Sportsmanship Iniative week. If anything the NCAA should step in and suspend Hout. Now you guys go out before the coin toss and shake hands, then at the end of the game you go up to Blount and decide to grab him by the shoulder and rub it in his face that he just got beat. Act like you have been there before. Be a man and let your game do the talking, not your mouth.
Now I know what you may be saying; no one deserves to get a sucker punch in the jaw like that. I say shut it. How would you like it if the team you are playing for just loses by a touchdown or less, you get a jackass that comes up to you, grabs you, and starts rubbing your nose in that fact. Most of you guys will let your competitive spirit get the best of you and take the punch like LeGarrette Blount did cause who wants to lose. Not I.
So LaGarrette, I do understand why you took the punch. But you also got what you deserved. Being suspended for the year. So I guess in this instance, everybody got what they deserved.

The Greatest Wrestling Has to Offer??? And its NOT WWE
As many of you may or may not know, BBSD Eric is a huge wrestling fan. So much so that I am learning the ropes to become a professional wrestler. Over the weekend, some friends and I had a chance to travel to see some of the best up and coming wrestlers that this world has to offer. And "NO" it was not WWE. These wrestlers that we saw this weekend were from the organization called TNA. Now I know what most fans of wrestling will say "Most of the wrestlers that TNA has is the throw-offs from WWE." But I am not including those wrestlers in the best that the world has to offer. I am going to throw out a couple of names that you need to think about.
First wrestler that has grabbed my attention from TNA is Christopher Daniels. This guy is a high flying, innovative wrestler that has been able to stand the test of time. He has wrestled all over the world winning titles where ever he goes and some of the moves that he does are amazing. His finishing manuevers are called "The BME" (Best Moonsault Ever) and the Angel Wings (Go to youtube and search for Christopher Daniels). The BME is the for the lack of a better term, the best moonsault that I have ever seen. He has been able to hit it from anywhere and when he does hit it, its not one of those moves where he just grazes the person and gets the pin, he hits it well and gets the pin. And the Angel Wings, is a double underhook, then you are picked up and then face planted. This is another move in Daniels arsenal to finish the challenger off with a bang. Daniels is always a professional and whoever you ask in TNA, they will always say that the first person that they want to wrestle with is Daniels. Yes there are some moves from his brief stint in WWE, but he is a TNA guy first, so check this out:
The Next wrestler in TNA that grabs my attention is Samoa Joe. He is now apart of TNA's faction called the Main Event Mafia, but for a 6 foot 2 290lbs wrestler, he is able to do some of the most hardcore hurting moves that I have ever seen anyone do, and he also can fly out of the ring and an opponent when he needs to as well. The Muscle Buster is the most devistating move. Its so hard to explain but go look it up on youtube and you will see the body position that the opponent is in that makes it so devistating. He perfected such moves and the Nakita Clutch which is just another name for a rear naked choke, and my favorite move the enzuguri (Its a jump kick in which the opponent has has a hold of one foot, then with your other foot you bring it up and kick the opponent straight in the head.) Check out the Video below to see some of the devastating moves that he has done.
The third and final wrestler that has put TNA on the map is none other then "The Phenominal" AJ Styles. What can I say about this person that hasn't already been said by somebody else. This guy does it all. Great Moves, Innovation, and Great Matches. Some of his moves have tried to be copied but they just can't have the same impact unless he is doing them himself. His "Styles Clash" and "Pele Kick" are the most immitated by other wrestlers. But when they get immitated, those wrestlers are asked "why did you steal that from AJ STYLES???" Just watch this video and he will make a picture say a thousand words.
IF YOU CAN JUST ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE, GO CHECK OUT TNA IMPACT ON SPIKE TV! AND GIVE THESE UNHEARD OF NAMES LIKE CHRIS DANIELS, SAMOA JOE, AJ STYLES AND MANY OTHER A CHANCE. THEY MAY PROVE THAT WWE MAY HAVE BIG NAMES, BUT TNA HAS BIG MOVES!!!

Chicago Cubs- NOW and Hopefully Later
First things first, Thanks to Larry Stanley and BigBadSportsDaddy.com for believing in what I can bring to the table. Here is my first blog and I hope you enjoy.
This time of the year for Chicago Cubs fans has been becoming the best time of the year because the Cubs have been right in the thick of the NL Central race and the last two years they have been in the NL Central lead. Now things have drastically changed, and NOT for the good. Lets recap the season shall we; before the season started the Cubs were still in limbo in who their new owners were going to be, they then try to trade for Jake Peavy and can't get that done. Then the season starts, and here come all of the injuries. Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, Aramis Ramirez, Geovany Soto, and so on and so forth. Then you have the Cubs biggest star in Alfonso Soriano decide that this year he will suck so bad so that he wouldn't have to go 0 for 22 in the playoffs again like he did last year.
The Cubs have not been able to all year field the lineup that they envisioned coming out of spring training. Then a ray of hope shines down, in the month of July it seemed as the Cubs had finally solved the injury bug that had been plaguing their clubhouse. They finally had the right lineup in and everybody was healthy. That was until finding out that there resident moron Ryan Dempster broke his big toe when stupidly jumping over the fence that lines the dugout after a win at Wrigley Field. That put him out for over a month. And took out one of there best pitchers.
Ever since then they have not been able to make a huge run at the NL Central or the Wild Card. Now I don't know if I just got spoiled the last couple of years but I am so pissed that the Cubs are not playing to there potential. They have so many things going for them and they decided that getting swept again in a postseason was something that they didn't want there fans to go through again. And they were right about one thing, we won't have to go throught it this year.
But in the offseason, I hope the new owners will know whats good for the team and have this lineup when next year comes around:
C- Geovany Soto
1B- Derrek Lee
2B- Jake Fox
3B- Aramis Ramirez
SS- Ryan Theriot
RF- Micah Hoffpauir
CF- Kosuke Fukudome
LF- Sam Fuld
SP's- Ted Lilly, Rich Harden, Ryan Dempster, Randy Wells, and Carlos Zambrano
Coach- Bobby Valentine
Now I know what your saying, where is Alfonso Soriano??? I hope he is in some po-dunk little Independent League in Canada where he will rot away as a mediocre .250 hitter with very little power left and be injury prone the rest of his career.
So as a Cubs fan the rest of this year, I will prey to every god that there is that somehow, someway, the Cubs can squeek there way into the playoffs and somehow make a World Series run.
But I should always know better. WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR.
