My Mount Rushmore of UFC
For those of you unware, in professional sports it's very common to use a "Mount Rushmore" to describe your top 4 athletes in any sporting event. And what I find very interesting about your "Mount Rushmore" is you can be as vague or specific as you want. Specifications could be by age, era, sport, gender, you name it. I do plan to make many more of these, so let's take a look at my UFC Mount Rushmore first.

Are you a boxing lover? Here are a few pieces of equipment that you must have.
Boxing is a game that requires immense passion and enthusiasm. If you are interested in making boxing your hobby or you want to pursue boxing as a career, then you must give it another and then decide. As it is a tough game, it is not suitable for indecisive and impulsive people. Look at the careers of famous boxers like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Rocky Marciano, they have had great stories, but all this doesn’t come easy. They have burnt the midnight oil to reach the point they are right now. Therefore, once you decide to jump into this field, you have to make your body and heart strong.

Musings of A Rookie Reliever
Musings of a Rookie Reliever Well, here I am. On the mound. Not just any mound. A major league mound. Man, there are so many people here. Are they cheering? Couldn’t be. I’m their enemy right now. The closer. The evil closer for the opposing team. God, that was a long walk to the mound. Maybe they should have shuttle service just for the closer. Not likely. Ok. Get your mind set. There’s my catcher. I’m so glad they put him in. He knows my stuff better. I think he saw me in Shreveport a few months back with a scout. Jesus, these people are loud. Hello....duh. That’s the point. To throw you off. It’s not happening to me. Not tonight. Mom and Dad are probably taping this back home. Dad will be having a Dixie beer with Uncle Frank and the rest of the family. Hope Mom’s wearing my new team jersey I sent her. They may be in Louisiana but tonight they are rooting for Oakland.

Hank Aaron made the Blueprint for the Black Athlete
Hank Aaron was how I would have imagined Jackie Robinson to be if he had lived in my lifetime. He was cool, calm and collected despite playing under some of the harshest conditions a human could endure. Robinson was the first to endure the racial harassment that enabled Aaron’s success, but Hank was the one who dominated despite of.

Mariano Rivera Brings Energy to Appearance at Acura of Bedford Hills
Professional athletes have two things in abundance that most of us do not: time and money. Inevitably, inertia must draw them to causes and foundations, and Mariano Rivera is no different than any other. “I believe in today’s youth. We created this foundation to help kids who are less fortunate and get their focus on school rather than the uncertainty of the streets,” he said at Bedford Hills Acura on Saturday afternoon. But it was the infectious energy and illumination around young fans that made him a man of his words.
