I had just seen the picture, "The Passion of Christ," which I have seen about 10 times. It was so outrageously sad to see a good man being massacred by evil when he had come as the Son of God to bring peace and care for the poor. It is a shame... Read more...

 LOS ANGELES-Ukrainian transplant Ismayl “Smiles” Sillakh took the dangerous step of moving up to the cruiserweight division and beat Michigan’s Mitch Williams on Saturday night.

 In the HBO TV opener, Terrence Crawford got a tryout to see if he could advance on the Keith Thurman prospect track, or would be shoved off the path by bomber-prospect tester Breidis Prescott at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. He didn't get shoved off, as he schooled Prescott with fast hands and smart movement, but Crawford didn't jazz the crowd much, enroute to a 99-91, 97-93, 100-90. About 11 people clapped when Michael Buffer called him the victor. Crawford went 119-432 to 71-403 for the loser. Crawford (a 25 year-old Nebraskan; 10-0 entering) had beaten nobody known to any other than matchmakers and crazed stream addicts. The Colombian Prescott... Read more...
