Penn State: Sandusky molestation case

The Sandusky molestation case massively rocked the reputation of Penn State and the ripple effects destroyed the school’s leadership: Joe Paterno is gone, president Graham Spanier is gone, vice president Gary Schultz is gone, athletic director Tim Curley is on leave and unlikely to return, assistant coach Mike McQueary is in the same boat.

Manny Pacquiao wins against Juan Manuel Marquez

Though it is controversial, Juan Manuel Marquez didn't do enough, he's the challenger he should have been more aggressive than Pacman. If that's what happened then he deserve to win. It is his own fault.

Marquez lost a majority decision at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with judge Robert Hoyle scoring it 114-114 and Glenn Trowbridge and Dave Moretti giving it to Pacquiao by 116-112 and 115-113, respectively.

Pacquiao was roundly booed by the crowd with most fans believing Marquez was a clear victor. The Filipino champion was pelted with beer and popcorn as he left the arena. Marquez also felt he had won the second fight of the trilogy in 2008, only to lose on the scorecards.

Heading into the closing rounds of the fight, Marquez was informed by trainer Nacho Beristain that he was clearly ahead.

“I always thought the judges and the commission in Nevada were the fairest,” Beristain said. “But this has been a robbery of the utmost.”

RIP Joe "Smokin' Joe" Frazier

Joe Frazier won the heavyweight title in 1970 by stopping Jimmy Ellis in the fifth round at Madison Square Garden. He defended it successfully four times before George Foreman knocked him down six times in the first two rounds to take the title from him in 1973.

In 1971 he was in "The Fight of the Century," at Madison Square Garden where he knocked Ali and won in a unanimous decision. Ali won a less-dramatic rematch in New York in 1974, and the rubber match was "The Thriller in Manila," held in a sweltering arena in Manila in 1975, where Ali outlasted Frazier, who was disqualified in the 14th round after his eyes nearly shut, streaming with blood. Frazier wanted to go out for the 15th round but was held back by trainer Eddie Futch.

Rest in Peace Smokin' Joe!
