lol...apology #2, Gordo!!! I can't wait for that fight. It's a shame that Calzaghe isn't American or they'd be talking about him with the greats. The guy beat the shit out of Hopkins and Hopkins just destroyed Kelly Pavlik...a guy everyone thought was the next great one. Calzaghe is an animal. HBO is running a prelude to the fight and it's awesome. I'll be watching it live somewhere.

Then he must be addressing me. :lol:

No I won't be watching. No guitars, drumming, singing or keyboards are involved, so it's not really my scene. :P

Well as someone who grew up in a city who has the number one marathon in the world, I disagree. Since 2000, a Kenyan woman has won The Boston Marathon 6 times (and the Kenyan men have won it 7 times since 2000). If that's not domination, I don't know what is!

JFB, you are correct, women have dominated the Boston Marathon. I was not referring to one marthon in particular when I made my statement.


You know, it NEVER ceases to amaze me how some of you guys can turn ANY thread into a debate. Seriously, take a deep breath and try to find it within yourselves to just enjoy once in awhile and not argue with EVERYTHING!

Well, whether a Brit or an American, it doesn't change my point...where the hell were the Kenyans? I've heard of fewers Brits winning marathons than Americans!


John from Boston



Paula Radcliffe is the world record holder in the women's marathon (2:15:25). She is better than the Kenyan women. Her level of success has not been shown in her Olympic results, including her 23rd place in Beijing, but she was running with a severe stress fracture.

I'm sure Ms. Radcliffe is exceptional. Her record marathon time looks astonishing to me. I don't run but I know for those who do Boston is considered THE MARATHON to run so I'm surprised she hasn't made a name for herself in Boston, if she is a world record marathon holder. Tell her to get her ass to New England and win Boston!

Not only did she stop to pee, but she won the race. Sure, she could have held it-or found a more appropriate place but either may have cost her the win. That woman has some serious dedication!
I LOVE PAULA!!!

Ha, I was just about to write, if its not on youtube, it didn't happen! :)


Here's the promo via youtube as well. That's very cool. Just when things were getting quiet they get ANOTHER tv spot. Watch, more sports will be using this song now. And they played quite a bit of the song.
