The Roundup: KJ for Mayor, the Aussie Open and Mike Adamle gets his Gene Okerlund on
Gladiators, NFL, NHL, Tennis, WWE January 27th. 2008, 11:07am
Good Sunday, folks. While today might seem like a subpar sports afternoon with no NFL (gotta love the 2 week break), I’m downright giddy because… it’s Royal Rumble Sunday! Thirty men vying for a championship match at WrestleMania XXIV in Orlando.Â
To celebrate, we’re honoring former WWE diva Stacy Keibler with Roundup side-feature. Oh Stacy, how I love looking at thee.
Sign of the superficial times: starting Tuesday, roughly 1,000 women will be paid to look “pretty” at Super Bowl parties. I’m sure that will make Berman giddy. [Arizona Central]
Kevin Johnson running for mayor of Sacramento. No word if he’ll be wearing his KJ Cons. [Signal to Noise]

Lane Kiffin hopes he’ll be coaching the Raiders next season. “Hopes”. [AOL Fanhouse]

The Chargers and Saints will be playing in London this coming October. [Sign on San Diego]
Oh, and Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding kicked 5 games with a fractured leg. At this point, I won’t be surprised to learn Luis Castillo played without a beating heart. [North County Times]

The faces and odd celebrations of Novak Djokovic. [The Sports Hernia]
And early this morning, Novak captured the Australian Open crown. [Yahoo! Sports]
Remember Mike Adamle of NBC and American Gladiators fame? He just signed with WWE to fill the role of backstage announcer. [411 Mania]

Patrick, you really redeemed yourself with today’s Roundup pic. Wasn’t feeling yesterday’s.

Bad move taking a home game away from the Saints for this London bullshit. You’re talking about a team that the NFL forced to play a “home” game in New York City against the Giants three years ago. Now they lose another one.

Oh yeah, and how you like those Hornets now?

Reggie Bush can suck equally on any continent.

I know, but the game will be billed as “Reggie Bush and the Saints” vs. “LT and the Chargers.” That’s like saying “Cedric Benson and the Bears” versus anybody.

Kinda on the topic of the WWE. Does anyone think Brock Lesnar will NOT get submitted by Frank Mir in the upcoming UFC fight?
January 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I think Brock is in over his head. Just Kurt Angle is with his constant jawing about going into MMA.
Remember when Lesnar tried out for the Vikings?

Didn’t Lesnar make the first couple cuts with Minny?
January 27th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I agree that he won’t last more than a round with Mir.
