Let me be the first to say this about the Roger Clemens trial: I’m glad that’s over.

If Boxing Wasn’t Done Before, Manny Pacquiao Could Be The Last Straw

This is a disclaimer: I have never, will never, and can never claim to be a boxing expert.

Alex Smith is 27-years old and just completed his first winning season with a first-round bye in the playoffs and a victory of Drew Brees and the Saints at home.
