White Lines

When I suggested that Ricky Hatton should retire from boxing in a previous post, I was not eluding to the idea that he should pick-up a drug habit instead.

Seeing is believing, Checkout the video of Hatton snorting 7 lines of cocaine:

Elevator buttons '40 times dirtier than toilet seats'

I was born on September 19, which is an inconsequential fact that I intended to let slip under the radar unnoticed. But a certain vigilante (code name ‘Koi Fish’) decided to enlighten my friends and associates at F1 Recreation. In response, they made me this great unexpected airplane size banner wishing me a happy birthday.

So I would like to thank the special ‘Koi Fish’ and everyone at F1 Recreation for their well wishes and kind gestures.

Note: I share the same birthday as Henry III of France, but I certainly hope I won’t depart the world as he did. A young fanatical Dominican friar named Jacques Clément plunged a knife into his stomach.

Thus the lessons of historical events has lead me to a career in fitness; not politics.

Muhammad Meeraj (Mirage)

Muhammad Meeraj (highlighted in the video wearing blue gloves, red trunks, and white boxing boots) is a young college student and an inspiring professional boxer that I met at a boxing gym in PJ, Malaysia. I did some light mitt drills, and live jab defense and counter work with Meeraj in the ring. So I can tell you from personal experience that he is quite fast and punches hard. His appearance is deceptive in that you probably wouldn't peg him for a boxer if you passed by him on the street. Meeraj just doesn't fit the stereotypical look of a 'Bad Boy'. With his glasses on he strikes you more as an IT whiz kid.

Although Meeraj is a pro now (1-0), he is still quite green. But he has an excellent base for a coach to work with (great head movement and a balanced attack between working his opponent's head and body). On the flip side, his defense needs some improvement. All and all, I give Meeraj a B+ for his effort during his debut professional fight. With assertive training, he has the potential to become an A list fighter.

Who is Alex Barron?

The contest between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins lacked any offensive play that would be worthy of an ESPN highlight reel. Without scoring any offensive touchdowns, the Redskins managed to slip by the Cowboys by a score of 13 vs. 7.

Both teams were dismal inside the red zone. Dallas was 1/3 – 33%, and Washington was worst at 0/2 – 0%. Washington’s offensive consisted of a pair of field goals in the 1st and 4th quarters. But it was their defense that won the game for them when DeAngelo Hall scored a touchdown on a 32 yard fumble return in the 2nd quarter.

Still, Tony Romo and the boys had a chance to win the game. Romo threw a 4 yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin in the 3rd quarter, which pulled them within 3 points of the Redskins (7 vs. 10). Late in the 4th quarter the Redskins scored their second of two field goals to take a six point lead (13 vs. 7). With 1:50 left in the game, the Cowboys drove deep into Redskins' territory. Then with 3 seconds left on the clock, the Cowboys ran their last play of the game, which was a perfect strike from Romo to a wide open Roy Williams sitting in the end zone. Touch down! Not so fast, offensive holding was called on the Cowboys. A play that should have resulted in a come-from-behind win for the Cowboys instead resulted in a dodged bullet by the Redskins, which then ricocheted and shot the Cowboys in the ass. If you are into pointing fingers, No. 71 Alex Barron committed the untimely foul, which was 1 of 3 holding penalties called on Barron during the course of the contest (clearly Barron will be sitting by himself on the plane ride home).

The only satisfaction that I can take away from this game is the fact that the Cowboys will get another crack at the Redskins later on this season.

Fall in the US is my favorite time of the year, because it marks my birthday, pleasant weather, the prelude to the holiday season, but most importantly it is the beginning of the NFL season. So with great anticipation I went online to Foxsports to check the pre-season power ranking of my favorite team the Dallas Cowboys. The lone star of Texas and D'boys are sitting pretty ranked at #5 out of 32 teams.

Being a Cowboys fan, naturally I'm a staunch hater of the Washington Redskins. So it did my heart good to have to scroll far down the screen before the Redskins finally appeared at #21.

Comparably here is what Foxsports had to say about the two teams:


Sure, the preseason generally means nothing, but if bad vibes mean anything, then Dallas could be falling off a bit. Still, this team is loaded with too much talent from both sides of the ball not to be one of the NFL's top 10 teams this season.




This team is a mess, but generally just on the offensive side of the ball. How bad is it when Joey Galloway is a starting receiver at 38 years old? At least they addressed the offensive line problems

Guess who the Cowboys play on their first game of the season at FedEx Field in Landover Maryland, which is just outside of Washington D.C.?

BRING IT!
