Hey guys, I hope everyone had a great week this week. A lot has happened this week (including today), so let's get to it.
Gridiron/Football
I have read yesterday on Time.com that the sport of American Football is coming to India. Notable NFL personalities such as Ron Jaworski, Michael Irvin, Mike Ditka, and Brandon Chillar are investing in the organization called Elite Football League of India (or EFLI for short). EFLI has already created 8 teams in the league and are schedule to start their inaugural season in November 2012. More details can be found on their official website http://www.efli.com/
MLB
The New York Yankees had a great week as they have swept the Chicago White Sox in a 4-game series. The notables were the great runs that occurred from the Yankees (including a home run from Russell Martin) & the fact that Tuesday's game ended early in the 7th inning due to rain. The Yankees may have had a great time at US Cellular Field, but the color of the socks have now changed as they go from White to Red as the Yankees will face their fiercest rival Boston Red Sox. Both Yankees and Red Sox are currently tied in the AL East and the question is, Who will prevail and go to first place?
Usually rivalry games I recommend are "must see" but NOT one-sided rivalries. This rivalry has lately become one-sided so I suggest this as "must skip" as the Yankees will lose again. And this is coming from a Yankees fan because I can't understand why the Bombers haven't been able to defeat Boston since April.
For the Mets, they had bad luck as they have lost to the Florida Marlins two games in a row. A third game was supposed to be played but due to rain it was a no contest. The Mets will however face the Atlanta Braves this weekend and it's a possibility that the Mets can turn it around.
WWE
This Monday on Raw was mainly about the solution to fix the disputed WWE Championship. It's confirmed that both CM Punk and John Cena are co-holders of the WWE Championship. Other than that, the rest of the show was just an average Raw with a strong beginning and end. Here's a video that gives the reactions of Cena and Punk regarding their WWE Championship match at SummerSlam:
More information will be given out later regarding WWE Summerslam.
Also, WWE has announced the departures of Melina, Vladimir Kozlov, Chris Masters and David Hart Smith from the company today. It was rumored that Gail Kim had quit the company as well as she posted on her Twitter that she quit the WWE, but WWE has not acknowledged her departure yet.
UFC
UFC will be having a PPV this weekend called UFC 133 that is schedule to take place this Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. The advertised main event is Rashad Evans vs Tito Ortiz. The preliminary card will be aired on Facebook with the remaining two airing on Spike. I will be giving my reaction to the Spike preliminaries and give the results of the entire PPV.
That will do it for now. Have a great weekend everyone!
