How much did the UFC pay for Strikeforce?
About $40 million, according to Loretta Hunt of the LA Times. That number includes debt repayment. It is important to note that this is simply a report and can not be taken as fact, as the UFC will likely never reveal the actual number. If true, even if it's within range, it would appear Zuffa...
An Introspective Into Jonathan Quick
I stumbled across this LA Times Entry by Kurt Streeter called The Game Through A Goalie's Eyes where he interviewed Jonathan Quick about what goes through a goalie's mind during one of the most stressful times of a game. I think the experience of a goaltender is lost on the majority of the...
It Begins: Belbin and Agosto Out of Grand Prix Final
Some bloggers I've read were predicting that it was only a matter of time before something knocked Belbin and Agosto out of the Grand Prix Final. And they were right. This time, it's an infected wisdom tooth for Belbin, last year it was a back injury for Agosto. Yikes. Apparently she has been...

Two-time U.S. Ladies Silver Medalist Rachael Flatt will be working with Olympic Gold Medalist Dorothy Hamill on her way to trying to make the 2010 Olympic team, according to the Del Mar Times. Before I read this article yesterday, I was thinking about how Flatt will hopefully show up with an...
Patrick Chan Wins Four Continents
Unfortunately, I could not see it because Icenetwork doesn't love me and locked me out and doesn't work weekend hours. But anyway, Chan was dominant at Four Continents, and from the articles and scoring sheets, it appears he won once again on his dominant program components and grade of execution...
Nagasu Drama
Ok, I'm not sure how I feel about this article from the LA Times contending that reigning national champion Mirai Nagasu's problems this season are of her own making. Now, I'm sure that it is probably true that Nagasu should have rested her ankle instead of competing and performing so much this...

Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir had press conferences yesterday that were written up by Philip Hersh in the LA Times, in which he spoke about the troubles of the judging system.
