Oscar De La Hoya retire? He should consult Freddie Roach

For some reason, the decision to stop a pro boxing career always seems extra difficult to the boxer, even when the public and the sport’s insiders can see clearly that it is time.

Certainly, the lure of huge money is a major thing. Oscar De La Hoya made $20 million for being knocked around a ring for eight rounds in Las Vegas Saturday by Manny Pacquiao. If the pay-per-revenue went well, he’ll make several million more.

In addition, De La Hoya doesn’t really need the money, although any big businessman — as De La Hoya is — will tell you there is never enough.

So, as we all sit around and wait for De La Hoya to stand up and announce the obvious, that he is done boxing, he might be best advised to consult with somebody who would know best about this decision. That would be Freddie Roach, who worked the Pacquiao corner and told us all for weeks exactly how this fight would turn out.

Shiancoe exposed

Roach not only knows De La Hoya — he trained him for his big fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year — he also likes him. He spent much time during the run-up to the fight, while saying that De La Hoya was done, and couldn’t pull the trigger, and will lose this fight, adding how much he liked De La Hoya and respected what his career had done for the sport. Here is a clip from a Lance Pugmire interview with Roach during training camp.

The key issue for a fighter this late in his career is the danger of serious head injury. Roach knows all about that. He started his boxing careeer with a 26-1 record and finished it with 13-12 for a total of 39 wins and 13 losses.

“I fought at least six fights too many,” Roach says.

Today, while running a highly successful boxing gym in Hollywood and making his mark on the sport as one of its best trainers and tacticians, Roach suffers from a Parkinson’s Disease that he acknowledges was probably hastened by all the blows to the head he suffered over his fight career.

Five minutes, alone, face-to-face with Roach, who is as direct and honest as anybody you’ll find in boxing, and De La Hoya would know what to do.

Ideally, he already does.

Oh Joy, The Christmas Wars by Anthony McCarthy

i’m starting out as i last wishes as end, all seasonal displays on openly property by furthest groups, strict, anti-conscientious, etc. should be prohibited, it leads to nothing but trouble, it is a tedious kill of era and attention by public servants who have better things to do. unlike the shelf of this unending representation, i’m at worst going to say it once and gather it said.you knew some variation on this story was coming. seems that someone stole a sign erected by some determined atheists as their contribution to the entirely ungermane holiday display at the legislative structure in olympia, washington. the cartouche read.at the season of the winter solsticemay reason succeed.there are no gods,no devils, no angels,no heaven or hell.there is onlyour natural sphere.religion is butmyth and superstitionthat hardens heartsand enslaves minds. nothing provocative forth that, is there. while, if they let them pretend up the manger scene, they be required to allow the sign to be forth up, i agree with those who point in view that you could be forgiven for thinking the ffrf strength be somewhat gratified by the theft. a reaction and feigned outrage at the reaction is an intrinsic part of this well rehearsed plan. the sign was clearly meant to stir things up and utterly would offend, a group that claims to promote reason doesn’t get to quell c ascribe up that writing on the wall at christmas time and profess they didn’t be aware the predictable results. today it is as predictable as the objections to those who insist on trying to get the government to symbolically seal of approval on their religion. it’s just a variation on william donohue’s annual christmas skit.yes, yes, if whoever stole the thing is caught they should be charged with petty larceny or some such contrivance. i’d like to know their motives, which we can only guess at, for sporadically. it could drink been some punk whose motives were as dogma based as bashing a mailbox. but they should be prosecuted. as if the cops in olympia, washington didn’t entertain better things to do with their time.and if you, adulate me, wish that this is about as far as things can go, of special interest to pagans and their allies choose be this quote from dan barker the quondam evangelical cleric and co-miscarry of the group.”most people of december is for christians and view our signs as an intrusion, when actually it’s the other way around,” he said. “people have been celebrating the winter solstice long before christmas. we see christianity as the intruder, trying to steal the fair from all of us humans.”as the case may be barker doesn’t understand that to of most of us humans the solstice celebrations were to propitiate a variety of gods and unusual beings to bring back the sun. it wasn’t “the axial tilt” that got them all festive and a bit of it is reported to have been quite devout, indeed. i wonder if some modern wiccans, who are more use than most to having their deeply held religion called “myth and superstition”, energy want to counter the ffrf expropriation of their sabbatical as well. and i’m unwavering there would be a arrange to snitch the wiccans to task for some whatever.no display of religion belongs on any government property, none whatsoever. if it’s necessary to forbid all displays on government possessions, sponsored by any outside group, it’s worth the yield. aside from the clear implication that it is an seal of a specific brand of creed, justice and equality require that once one corps can put something up, all can. then the kinds of displays that will be allowed discretion suit a time-wasting, attention diverting issue. many transfer purposely be too outrageous or offensive to be bearable and someone will purposely try to provoke another group. it’s guaranteed that anti-semitic, anti-islamic, anti-buddhist, anti-widespread, etc. displays will be erected by those who will insist on equal time with whoever else gets to put over something up.ban all of these displays on consumers property, they don’t belong there. governments, federal, state and local have too profuse real problems to deal with without having to monitor whatever dioramas and posters adults acting of a piece with spoiled brats can come up with. it’s not as if there aren’t enough restrictive properties to display things on. that’s where these displays belong. ban them all, tak

Announcing Unscientific America

yesterday, many among us were aghast to learn that yet another outstanding story escape is eliminating its science coverage. in this casing it was cnn, which decided to nix its seven-person unit on science, the habitat, and technology–including six producers and veteran space correspondent miles o’brien. it’s a growing tend around the country as science journalism is dropping not at home of style; newspapers are hemmhoraging science sections and reporters, and cable statement was already pretty science anemic and is just getting worse. the irony, as curtis brainard of the columbia journalism comment on online wrote, is that “the decision to eliminate the positions seems particularly misguided at a time when just ecstatic events would seem to warrant expanding science and environmental staff.”

But wait: Were citizens–not science bloggers, not science journalists, but citizens–really aghast at the news from CNN? Sheril did her own reality test… she called some friends back home outside of her comfortable science journalism bubble. No, they hadn’t heard, but they knew what Obama said when Bill Richardson shaved his beard and that Jennifer Aniston is peeved at Vogue. Now, Sheril promises that the ‘control group‘ is comprised of intelligent, curious individuals, but the problem is that Americans are being spoonfed heaps of gossip, instead of what really matters.

A PBS show we like called Sid The Science Kid recently depicted the title character asking why he can’t eat cake for every meal. In the end, he learns that he needs to round out his diet with nutritious foods in order to grow and stay healthy. American journalism should take a lesson from Sid. The media has grown fat by feeding us a steady diet of figurative and often frivolous, sugar-coated dessert, and unfortunately, the dramatic reduction in substance forecasts a grim future.

This seems, then, an appropriate time to formally announce the title of our forthcoming, co-authored book: Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, due out from Basic Books in May of 2009. We won’t give much away yet, but suffice it to say, it is about all of this–despite the importance of science, why is the media running away from it? Why doesn’t it have the influence it obviously deserves?

We, of course, have all the answers (yeah, right).

Seriously, though, we’ll have more info about the book soon. In the meantime, you can see the amazon page here. People are already ordering it.

Democracy is messy

By Libby

Every votes counts, or not, in Minnesota. The ongoing drama in the Franken/Coleman race shows no signs of resolution. Today yet another mysterious batch of ballots surfaced to counter the yesterday’s reported lost votes. The 133 found in Minneapolis apparently cancelled the advantage Franken enjoyed from the 171 found in Maplewood earlier this week. This on top of the 12,000 rejected absentee ballots that still remain a point of contention. Yesterday, the Franken camp also announced their internal calculations indicated a lead of 22 votes. It’s unclear if this latest find will have any impact on that rosy prediction. The only thing clear to me in this mess is that Minnesota’s election workers could probably use some additional training on proper procedure before the next election.

Chachapoya

Meanwhile, it’s not all that surprising that Saxby Chambliss won the runoff in Georgia. He was quick to credit download drama movie Palin for the win saying, “When she download sci-fi movie walks in a room, folks just explode.” I guess that’s true enough, for some, more so than others. But I can’t help but remember the 2002 election when Chambliss also inexplicably outperformed the polling for a win after that mysterious midnight software patch in critical counties. They still use Diebolds, don’t they?
