Enrico Villanueva – Joseph Yeo: When Will Be The Grand Finale?

Let’s refresh. In an Ateneo-LaSalle (LaSalle-Ateneo, depends on your allegiance) exhibition game, out of nowhere, Joseph Yeo smacked Enrico. This turned Enrico into a bloody mess. The PBA gave Yeo warning (that will come handy) and no more than a community service punishment. Last Sunday, after Redbull routed Coke, they went at it again outsideaaa

Can’t Get Enough Of Manny Pacquiao? Here’s More!

I am to make an entry about Manny Pacquiao’s triumph over Erik Morales but too much dosage of Pacquiao news prevented me from doing so. I am a little Manny-O.D. I can get enough so I won’t say anything more (and new). Print, internet, radio, TV, barber shops, beauty parlor, funeral parlor, and blogs, blogs,aaa

Pacquiao-Morales set for showdown Saturday in Las Vegas

After splitting two thrilling matches in the previous 20 months, the junior lightweights will complete one of boxing’s better trilogies in recent years in front of a sellout Las Vegas crowd and a pay-per-view audience stretching from Manila to Mexico City, with more than 1 million purchases already.

Sta. Lucia and Ginebra San Miguel: Palawan Showdown

The supposedly powerhouse Ginebra San Miguel was predicted (or so Rudy Hatfield thought) to blow-out teams on their way to the Philippine Cup trophy. But now, GSM is languishing at the middle pack of the standings. Meanwhile, the PBA viewing public never expected Sta. Lucia to dominate early part of the qualifying/classification rounds. Ok, weaaa

The Big Read: The Boston Celtic What If (Remembering Len Bias)

Twenty years ago, the Boston Celtics owned the second pick overall of the 1986 Draft. No the Celtics, weren’t crappy. In fact they were currently the gods of the net then.
