What Happened During The Azkals-Sri Lanka Match?

It's been two days since the Azkals salvaged a draw against Sri Lanka, a team they were supposed to beat (by 2 goals, if we were to believe former Azkal coaches).

As the hysteria dies down, let's take a look at the what really happened during the match.

Sheen Did Steroids!

We've heard of players doing them to improve their game performance. Sheen did them for vanity.

True, he was filming Major League at that time, as Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn...but he didn't need to play like a big league pitcher, he only had to look like a big league pitcher.

Mayweather Says Pacquiao Is Next!

I'll believe it when the bell rings and I see Mayweather in the ring with Manny. But not one second before then.

Mayweather disrespected another opponent, this one WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, by saying he regarded this fight as a tune up match. Mayweather went as far as saying he was going to take Ortiz's title then move on to his actual target, Manny Pacquiao.

Does this mean Mayweather is willing to let go of his ridiculous blood testing demands? I don't think so. But prove me wrong, Mayweather. I dare you to. 

Azkals To Go For Win In Manila!

The Azkals need only to hold the Sri Lankans to a goalless draw to advance to the next round. But team officials say that they will not settle for a draw in front of what they expect to be record crowds of Azkal fanatics.

Azkals Coach Hans Michael Weiss said he was not thrilled by the 11-draw in Sri Lanka but is now focused on the Sunday game here. He is drawing up a new game plan which might include replacing the injured Phil Younghusband as striker. Options include Colombo game scorer Nate Burkey and veteran Ian Araneta.

NBA Lockout A Done Deal?

What happens when spoiled millionaires go head-to-head with spoiled billionaires? A lockout ensues.

And that is exactly where the NBA is headed for.

The NBA players union and the NBA owners simply could not decide who gets to take home the bigger pile of money and has decided to penalize the average fan by settling into a lockout.

Both sides claim to be the right side so we know they're both wrong and now, we have to get our basketball fix somewhere else.

All I can say is, boo-freaking-hoo to both of you.

Bismack Biyombo: Steal Of Draft 2011?

I have a good feeling about this kid. Like maybe he's the next Rodman...without the crazy.

Here's his performance at the Nike Hoops Summit, when he logged the first ever triple-double in Nike Hoopos Summit history.
