Sports: Roy Jones Doesn’t ‘Know What’s Next’ After Loss; Serena Challenges Reporter: ‘Live the Dream!’; Texas Lineman Makes Racist Post Against Prez-Elect

November 10th, 2008

Roy Jones

Roy Jones doesn’t “know what’s next” after loss. Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe can go through with his plan to retire undefeated, if he chooses, after whipping the formerly acknowledged best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing. Roy Jones Jr. suffered his bloody fifth loss this past weekend after Calzaghe beat him in a lopsided decision. Judges scored only the first round, in which Calzaghe was knocked down, for Jones. The fighter agreed with the judges’ decision, saying that Calzaghe hit harder than he’d expected. Some have urged the once-unbeatable Jones to spare himself anymore embarrassment, now with four losses out of his seven latest fights. “I don’t know what’s next,” says Jones. “I don’t know.”

Serena Williams

 

Serena challenges reporter: “Live the dream!” Think it’s easy being Serena Williams? Well, let her tell you a thing or two – like she told a reporter who suggested that she play through an injury rather than pull out of the Sony Ericcson tennis championships, as she did this past weekend. “I think what I should do is make you work out, have a severe stomach strain and play for the sponsors,” Williams responded. The British journalist said he’d be up for the task, to which Serena laughed sarcastically and answered: “You really should. You should go for it and live the dream!… You know, the dream of working out and sweating and being questioned on your commitment to the game versus your love for fashion and Hollywood and really obnoxious jewelry and all that.” Williams says she once played through a similar injury for several weeks, but was more concerned that she fully recover this time around so she can start the new year healthy.

Buck Burnette

 

Texas lineman makes racist post against prez-elect. A University of Texas lineman has lost his spot on the team after suggesting that “all hunters gather up” because “we have a n**ger in the White House.” Buck Burnette says he’s sorry for the Facebook.com post, that he’s not racist and didn’t mean to be hurtful. “Clearly, I have made a mistake and apologized for it and will pay for it. I received it as a text message from an acquaintance and immaturely put it up on Facebook in light of the election…I have to be more mature than to put the reputation of my team at stake and to spread that kind of hate which I don’t even believe in.” Nice words. But isn’t there something kinda illegal about making threats against elected officials?

I live here in Austin and am apalled by the comments of this player, we root hard for our Longhorns so to have one of them feel this way is saddening. 63% of Travis county voted for Obama so the numbers speak for themselves.

I’ll say this again it is like God is taking a winnowing fork and seperating the wheat from the tares. the racist whites from decent god fearing whites. That was no mistake. There are something that you know that aint right, but when you have been raised to believe what your doing isnt wrong. Then it is percieved to be right. America is in the middle of a huge wake up call.

This young man should have put a stop to this when he “received it as a text message from an aquaintance”. Well I hope he has learned a life long lesson.

I know people are going to disagree on this, but i am a big texas fan, and im not trying to be byast… but this guy should get a warning, because i personally have seen much more racist things said on fb against obama, but they arent getting caught… if their gonna catch 1 person, y dont they catch more?
but this guy at most should get this and next year suspended… maybe this year, and half of next year, or if texas goes to the championship, which they r going to, he wont be allowed to play on the team for the championship game, its gonna hurt texas, but he shudv been thinking better then to copy a txt message…

Bring It (what) WE RIGHT HERE



taunya Said on

I am so sure that Mr. Lineman is sorry. He is sorry that his pitiful *** got caught. Next time maybe he should tell his racist jokes in person.
