Football’s loss may be boxing’s gain.  With the NFL in labor limbo, Ravens safety Tommy Zbikowski returned to pro boxing Saturday and produced a first-round technical knockout over less-fit opponent Richard Bryant.  The 25-year-old Zbikowski pounded a left hook to the 235-pound Bryant’s belly, and the big man lost his breath and slumped to the canvas.

JUSTIN ANDERSON…..ESPN PLAYER EVALUATIONS Strengths: Anderson continues to impress with his god given off the charts athletic ability. His body is a work of art as he excels on the break.

Men’s and women’s Lacrosse

Jim Calhoun blasted by the Times

Is this team capable of a run. Yes but the fact that the lead guy  wouid have to be a freshman makes the run doubtful’

I wonder who steps up for … Read More »
