Jenn Brown calls Butch Jones "Bitch Jones"

ESPN sideline reporter Jenn Brown calls Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones "Bitch" during an ESPN game a few weeks ago. Now I know all these blonde sideline reporters are only there for eye candy, but come on ESPN! Get some women that actually know what they are talking about. Brown knows as much about college football as she does MMA which she reported on for Showtime before she got her ESPN gig.

Video:Rashad Evans uncovers Rampage Jackson's secret training techniques

Here is a short and very funny cartoon video of Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson.

Video:Rashad Evans talks about Jon Jones vs Rampage Jackson

Rashad Evans did an interview with Comcast Sports Bay Area earlier today and talked about the UFC 135 matchup between Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson. Evans will be at ringside tomorrow night to see who he will be facing in his next fight. The former UFC light heavyweight champion said that Jones expects an easy fight against Rampage and that he has not pushed himself to put it on him. Evans saw Rampage at the MusclePharm gym and was impressed with some of the training that Rampage was doing. Evans also said that Jones is cockier than Rampage and has the bigger ego. Here are some quotes from Evans about Jones. "This kid tries to play it off like he's humble but he's not humble. He's very very cocky and he has a lot of people fooled. If you listen to him and see him speak, you can pick up on it and I'm not just saying to hate, it's the truth." "I don't think Jones is battle-ready if it gets ugly. There have been times when in practice, I was going on him and he really couldn't have his way with me, and I saw him mentally start to break."

KNOXX reporter Meredith DiVita recently caught up with Strikeforce fighter Cung Le at his gym in San Jose. In part one of the video, Le gives his thoughts on the upcoming Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos fight, and he also talks about his favorite actors to work with. Le also tells DiVita that he still wants to fight on the UFC 139 card in his hometown of San Jose even though Showtime might be prohibiting him to do so. In part two of the interview, DiVita asks Le about his Strikeforce contract and Le sasys he is still not giving up on fighting at UFC 139. Le knows he is no longer a spring chicken and that he needs to get in the UFC as soon as possible since Strikeforce doesn't even him as much exposure as the UFC would.

Why the San Francisco Giants won't make the playoffs this season

The San Francisco Giants will not make the playoffs this season. They are six games back with 26 games left in the 2011 regular season.

I have been telling Giants' fans that the Arizona Diamondbacks were a viable threat since way back in May and June but no one really believed it. Giants' fans would call me crazy and they insisted that their pitching would lead them to the NL West title again.

Pitching can help you win a game but you need to be able to hit too. Fans of the Giants seemed to forget this due to last season's World Series title.

The Giants got hot the last few weeks of the season in 2010 and they were hitting a lot of homers thanks to guys like Pat Burrell and Juan Uribe. Burrell has been hurt all season and Uribe is now a Dodger.

Aubrey Huff has been horrible all season long and Andres Torres has shown everyone that 2010 was a fluke and that he is just a one year wonder.

The injuries to Buster Posey and Freddy Sanchez also didn't help matters.

The Diamondbacks have a young star named Justin Upton and the Giants have a rookie who can't seem to hit a major league curveball in Brandon Belt.

The Giants have been selling out every game this year but you can expect there will be less fans in the stands in September. Some of their fans will probably jump off the bandwagon.

There will be shorter lines in the concession stands and the line to the bathroom won't be as long as well.

Merchandise sales will be affected negatively too. The illegal Giants' t-shirt stands on gas station corners will probably disappear and the Giants' booty shorts sold at Victoria's Secret will take a hit too.

Fans might think twice about buying expensive Belt jerseys too. Belt reminds me more of J.R. Phillips and Lance Niekro than he does of Will Clark at the moment.

Belt was supposed to be a Rookie of the Year candidate and be a better prospect than Freddie Freeman of the Braves but Freeman has exceeded all expectations while Belt has been a disappointment so far.

Starting pitching and the bullpen have been solid, but if your offense scores less than two runs a game, you don't stand a good chance of winning night after night.

The Diamondbacks have a great chance of sweeping the Giants this weekend in San Francisco.

Most Giants' fans I have talked to are already talking about spring training in 2012 and admitting that the season is over.

2010 seems like a distant memory these days.

Video:UFC Ring Girl Brittney Palmer on MMA and her goals in life

Here's a video of UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer from Fox Sports. In the almost four minute video, Palmer talks about her favorite MMA fight and her goals in life which include becoming a child psychologist and getting married one day and having kids.

She seems to be a very cool chick and very down to earth. There seems to be more substance to her than other ring girls and models.

My thoughts on Tony Bruno's racist tweet on Ramon Ramirez and calling Bruce Bochy a coward

Sports radio host Tony Bruno made a stupid mistake Friday night by calling San Francisco Giants pitcher Ramon Ramirez an "illegal alien" on Twitter.

I believe he should be fired for making that racist tweet. A public figure like Bruno should not let everyone know his racist thoughts. It's alright if he is talking to his friends at a bar and calls Ramirez a racist term but it is not ok for him to say it on the radio airwaves or on social media sites like Twitter or Facebook.

Bruno quickly backtracked and deleted the tweet but it was too late. Some of his followers smartly copied and pasted the tweet which you can see here.

Bruno has a Facebook fan page and there were hundreds of supporters commenting on his wall and telling Bruno how much they love him and will still listen to him. Many sports fans were mad at him too and called him a racist.

I bashed Bruno on his Facebook page for offending Asian Americans in the past with some of his jokes and he decided to reply to me even though I was one of many people that criticized him. Here is what he said to me -

"Get some facts Derek. I never offended Asians. All I did was NOT label Shaquille O Neal a "racist" when other PC talking heads were quick to call him a racist when he made a dumb fake Chinese accent in regards to Yao Ming coming into the league many years ago. Some bogus blogger wrote a fraudulent blog to the Chinese community. I brought him on the air for a debate on his "facts" and he cowered like the publicity seeking fraud he turned out to be. You need a listen on facts Mr Wizzle. You seem to be a guy who likes the victim card, not me"

I replied back to him by asking him if he honestly never made any Asian jokes and luaghed at the expense of Asians. And here was his reply to that -

"Derek Wizzle talks tough for a young dude with zero cred other than writing for a paper given away for free - which no one reads. You'll never get a real job in this industry by posting negative nonsense about someone you don't know who actually is respected by most in the biz."

Are you trying to scare me Mr.Bruno? I won't get a real job in this industry because I criticized you and called you out? You have that much power? I guess I better go back to school then and find another profession.

Who respects you? I don't and many fans don't because of both your racist tweets and fake insincere apologies.

I decided to reply back with "Tony Bruno talks tough for a old dude with zero cred other than being a Philly homer."

Bruno got so incensed at my comments that he quickly deleted all my comments and his comments towards me as well. He sure has a quick trigger on that delete button.

I'm not even a Tony Bruno hater. I've heard his radio show many times in the past. I think he has a good radio voice and he is often lively and energetic on the air. He can also be funny at times although most of his jokes aren't that funny anymore because I think he tries too hard.

The only reason I criticized him is because the criticism is warranted. I talked to many Latino men and women over the weekend and told them about the racist tweet. All of them were angry and mad about it and they all wanted Bruno to be fired.

Will he get fired? Highly unlikely. I don't even know if he will get suspended.

I am amused by Bruno saying that I seem like a guy that likes to play the victim card and not him. He's been telling everyone that he is getting death threats now and mean messages. Who's the poor victim now Tony? Who is pretending to be the victim?

Bruno called Giants' manager Bruce Bochy a coward but the real coward is Bruno.

Bruno has said recently that he has been in the industry for 40 years. I say the coward has been on the air for 40 years too long.

Video of San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies Brawl

There was a bench clearing brawl tonight in the game between the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies.

San Francisco Giants' reliever Ramon Ramirez hit Shane Victorino in the back with a pitch and Victorino got mad and tried to approach the mound. Giants' catcher Eli Whiteside got in front of Victorino but then Phillies' third baseman Placido Polanco started to approach Whiteside from his blind side so Whiteside tackled Polanco.

Below is the video of what happened after that. I posted two videos just in case one gets deleted by MLB.

St. Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina bumps and spits on umpire Rob Drake

Here is the video of St.Louis Cardinals' catcher Yadier Molina bumping and spitting at the home plate umpire Rob Drake after arguing a called third strike in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Molina will probably be suspended for many games and his team might not get a lot of borderline calls now when is back behind the plate. Umpires take these things personally and will try to test Molina in the future.

Minor league manager Stubby Clapp has major meltdown and tirade on umpires

Here is video footage of minor league manager Stubby Clapp having a meltdown and going on a tirade on the umpires during a New York Penn League game between the Auburn Doubledays and Tri-city Valleycats.
