Who Needs Friends?

Ouch! Jermaine Taylor and Jeff Lacy were 2000 U.S. Olympic teammates and roommates but you would not believe that if you watched their super middleweight fight this past Saturday. For twelve rounds Lacy blocked Taylor's left jab and overhand right superbly with his face. I have never seen a defensive tactic like that before but I must say that Lacy executed it without flaw. Congratulations J.T. on a big win.

I am one of the few who knows what this means so bear with me while I explain.
Before every fight Jermaine Taylor holds one fist in the air, with his head down, while mimicking a bull by alternately sliding his feet back against the mat. He does this when his name is being announced. I know this because I am a devout J.T. fan.
The 2007 National Championship football game. Florida Gators vs. Ohio State Buckeyes. Troy "I can't be original" Smith. The Buckeyes are about to take the field and the camera pans to the Buckeyes and there he is. One fist in the air. Head down. Alternately sliding his feet back against the ground. Like a bull. WTF!? WTF!?
Hey Troy! Originality is not a cancer, so try not to avoid it anymore.
