Stan Abel, a former national championship winning wrestling coach for Oklahoma University, has been charged with domestic abuse by strangulation. I’ve called out coaches in the past for their behavior, but this case has a special twist. Read the full story

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain aren’t missing a chance to promote themselves in their quest for the presidency. Hillary’s been out drinking, Barack’s been doing something he calls bowling, and John McCain… He’s sitting back waiting for his chance to sling mud at one of the two. Read the full story

It looks like I’ve reached grumpy old man status.. I’m standing on corners, shaking my cane, and yelling about these kids today. The latest no good slacker youths to get on my nerves are wrestlers for Woodbury high school in Minnesota. They had a coach that cared about them and had their best interest at heart, but they threw it all away. Read the full story

I can’t tell you that I haven’t, but you’ll never be able to prove that I have.

I would say John Cena’s statement is pretty much gonna sum up any interview George Mitchell’s baseball steroid investigation is able to land. No amount of links to internet pharmacies or accusations by other players is gonna make a guy come out and say “Yeah, I used roids. What of it?”

Steroid use in wrestling isn’t a newsflash.. And overall, steroid use in sports isn’t new, but you don’t hear anybody wanting to put asterisk next to the 70s Steelers or the late 80s A’s. Roids and PEDs are hot button issues, but MLB’s increasing attendance and revenue, combined with our nation’s love for the NFL, tell me that the general public only wants to be entertained.

**MAJOR UPDATE**

When I wrote this post, I trusted that CNN had shown the interview in at least an 80% accurate light. I was wrong. WWE.com has posted two versions of the CNN’s John Cena interview from “Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling”. In response to the actual steroid question, John Cena responds “Absolutely not”. The statement I quoted above was taken from Cena speaking about a broad example.

One question? CNN, WTF?!? I don’t need any help looking like a jackass.. I’m a blogger.. And as a blogger I’m pissed. Bloggers are the ones that are supposed to make up news and fabricate stories just so we can get views hits. If the MSM is gonna start bogartin’ the unethical side of journalism, what will us unemployed lowlifes with keyboards do to entertain nerds that are wasting their company’s time and money reading our blogs?

There’s a thin line between talking trash and just being a loudmouth. These guys have mastered the art.

Muhammad Ali is the Godfather of trash talkin. He would predict what round he was gonna knock an opponent out, and write “raps”. He put trash talkin on the map and has yet to be dethroned.

Ric Flair is often the forgotten man in the trash talk game.  His interviews were classic back in the day. In this clip he’s greater than Dale Murphy and Herschel Walker (”for all you black folks out there.”) Whooooooo.

Chad Johnson is the trash talkin champ of the new millenium. He makes lists, signs, and outrageous predictions. He’s the best at being annoying and funny at the same time.

Those are three of the guys I would have on the Rushmore of trash talking.. Who’s the fourth?
