Throwback Thursday

It was impossible to throw in this game. You'd drop back and just have to sling it blind. No clue where the wideouts were. 

Although I think I set records for rushing yards in a season with BOTH Randall Cunningham and Ricky Watters.

Best Ways To Settle A Score, Squash A Beef, Or Prove You're Better

So last night on "Keefer Madness" we talked about some very high profile beefs that boiled over into intense competition.  Former NFL players and current 98.5 The Sports Hub hosts Scott Zolak and Jermaine Wiggins had been talking smack on twitter for some time, and ultimately they settled it the only way they knew how... rap battle.

BarstoolSports Chicago lead writer/ manhunter Big Cat has had a long going war with ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell.  These two warriors took to the court and played 1-on-1, well Big Cat was actually the only one playing anything that you would consider basketball, but still a competition technically took place and a winner crowned.

On the show we discussed these two rivalries and also came up with our own dream scenarios of challenging anyone to anything.

LISTEN TO WEDNESDAY'S KEEFER MADNESS BY CLICKING HERE.


You heard what we came up with, and after the show I really started thinking of the best Mano-a-Mano battles that can settle any score, squash any beef, and most importantly embarrass the loser.  Cause there is always a loser.

Challenge someone to one of the following to show how much better you are than them.

• Football Throwing (distance)
• Baseball Throwing (distance)
• 1-on-1 Basketball 
• Beer Chug
• 40 yard dash
• Bench Press
• Push Ups (to fatigue)
• Punch for Punch (not in the face, we're not animals)
• Video Games (Sports or Fighting)
• Chess (losing in chess is beyond frustrating, and if you can bench more, run faster, AND win at chess, then you are far more valuable to the human race than your rival.)

That's just 10 ways to prove you are better than someone.  And, really, you only need one.  Good luck.

UFC Montage That Won't Quit

Following the undercard on Saturday night they had some time to kill at the TD Garden, so the UFC unleashed this bad boy and the crowd went nuts.  The video was shot back at UFC 144 in Japan, but it's the same sweet action.  Don't worry about the Blair Witch camera work early on.

UFC Shines In Boston Return

The UFC was back in Boston last night and the 13-fight card did not dissapoint. Dana White had said this was the best free TV event the company had ever put together.  And I think he was right. 

UFC 75 was the best free card (with Rampage vs Henderson (champion vs champion), the controversial Bisping win over Hamill and Cro Cop falling to Kongo). 

But short of a title fight, UFC Fight Night 26 had all the makings for a memorable, long talked about card and it lived up to the hype. 

(My view for the fights below)

When the UFC first came to Boston it was back in August of 2010. There were some real big names: Randy Couture, B.J. Penn, Frankie Edgar, Gray Maynard, and Kenny Florian. 

It was a good night, but not great. Couture fought boxer James Toney in a very rare "freak match" in the Dana White Era UFC. 

Maynard was boring in a win over Florian, and Edgar controlled Penn for 5 rounds in the main event title fight. Again good but not memorable like last night. 

The early fights at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen (on Fox Sports 1) were solid and the crowd turned out early. Cold Miller lost a crap decision to Manny Gamburyan, Michael "Mayday" McDonald and Brad Pickett put on the fight of the night and crowd went bonkers for Conor McGregor... And that was all BEFORE the 6-fight main event. 

(McGregor with Joe Rogan after his decision win. BELOW. He apologized for not finishing the fight and said he hurt his knee.)

The biggest disappointment of the night was local guy Joe Lauzon losing to Michael Johnson. Not Lauzon's best night but it was Johnson's to be sure. 

John "Doomsday" Howard made sure the Mass fighters didn't go winless. The Dorchester native took a split decision win over Uriah Hall.  Howard was the biggest underdog on the card (+365), but Dana was not thrilled with all the high 5s the two fighters were dishing out during the fight. He said post fight that Hall doesn't have what it takes to fight in the UFC. 

HORRIBLE!!!!!!! The high 5 fight of the night WTF

— Dana White (@danawhite) August 18, 2013

Matt Brown made up for it with a 29 second KO victory over Mike Pyle.  Brown went on to say that Pyle is better than GSP, so...

Urijah Faber got a nice win over a tough Iuri Alcantara.  Faber dominates non-title fights, we'll see what happens next for him. 

Then it was time for the co-main event. 

Alistair Overeem vs. Travis Browne

Two Top 10 Heavyweights put on a hell of a show. Overeem beat the crap out of Browne for 2 solid minutes, many refs would have stopped the fight. But Browne just took it and waiting for Reem to tire. He did. When the former Strikeforce and Dream champ lowered his hands, Browne began with an assault of kicks to the head, ultimately landing one before finishing him off with hammer fists to the skull. 

Best win of Browne's career.  Another brutal loss for Overeem. 

At this point the UFC was playing with house money. 12 fights down with the vast majority being very entertaining. 

But it was time for Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Chael Sonnen.  

Sonnen took down Shogun immediately and you started to wonder if this was going to be a slow, control from the top, methodical fight. But before anyone could get too upset, Chael pulled off a submission victory, his best career win. 

Awesome night of fights. 

Lots of questions jump out: does Matt Brown or Travis Browne get a title shot soon?  Will Faber face Mayday? What's next for Overeem and Shogun?  What weight class will Sonnen's next fight be?

But we do know the answer to the most important question. The UFC WILL be back in Boston. 

UFC Fight Night Picks

The UFC returns to Boston tonight for UFC Fight Night 26. Here we go...

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua over Chael Sonnen

Alistair Overeem over Travis Browne

Urijah Faber over Yuri Alcantara

Mike Pyle over Matt Brown

John Howard (+325) over Uriah Hall

Joe Lauzon over Michael Johnson

Looking forward to seeing this card in person.  And if you can't make it to the TD Garden watch it for free on FOX Sports 1 (channel 925 on Comcast in Boston)

Keefer Madness Presents: Top 5 Shark Movies Besides Jaws

1. Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Spoiler alert: the Samuel L. Jackson death might be the biggest cinematic surprise of all-time. 

2. Open Water (2003)
Real good movie about a couple that is scuba diving and gets stranded out in the ocean.  It's scary as hell because it's realistic.

3. Raging Sharks (2005)
Alien space crafts drop red crystals in the water that the sharks eat, it makes them go nuts.

4. Sharknado (2013)
SyFy classic.  Anytime you chainsaw out of a shark you're doing something right.

5. Shark! (1969)
Burt Reynolds was in this forgotten gem.  They used real sharks making this movie and a stuntman was attacked and killed.  Crazy.

New Orleans Pelicans Uniforms

The New Orleans Pelicans released their new uniforms yesterday.  I'm already partial to the name as my high school was also the Pelicans, so I'm as pro-Pelicans as it gets.  Plus it allows Charlotte to go back to the Hornets in a few years so it's win-win.

The logo came out awhile back and it was pretty solid.  Jerseys are ok, not awful.  Check out the whole kit and caboodle below...

Rich Reviews: The Wolverine

The Wolverine is a solid comic book movie. It's not Dark Knight, Iron Man, or even X-men, but it's also not a Spider-Man 3 or Ghost Rider. Hugh Jackson is back for the 5th time in this role (I guess 6th if you count his cameo in X-Men: First Class). He's good. The story and action is far better in this one compared to the last stand alone Wolverine movie (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

This is more in the vain of a Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor... where you isolate on just the one super hero, with the villain not being a major comic character (like a Joker or Green Goblin). The Wolverine still holds up, solid action throughout and actually some continuity to the previous X-Men films.

It's over 2 hours long but doesn't feel like that, and for the first time you get the impression that Wolverine, the character, can carry a movie. He's always been "part of the X-Men' but clearly he is just as popular and intriguing as any other super hero.

I'll give it a 7.5/10.  (But I'm a sucker for comic book movies.)
