Happy Monday!
This week on 15MOF we look at the latest developments in the Lance Armstrong doping investigation and try to figure out who to believe, we check up on the latest NHL collective bargaining negotiations and we look at a couple of big stories out of the UFC, including one involving Georges St. Pierre.
In the GABBYs: Roger Clemens, Bill “Spaceman” Lee, a baseball baby, Oklahoma City schools, Danica Patrick and Bartolo Colon. The Punchline this week is the San Francisco Giants!
If everything goes to plan at the end of April, a lot of fight fans will finally get their wish…
Georges St. Pierre will defend his welterweight crown against Jake Shields in front of a record crowd at UFC 129 on April 30th. Should he win, organization president Dana White has promised a tilt between GSP and middleweight champ Anderson Silva – a “dream fight” that would go a long way in determining the outright best pound-for-pound fighter in MMA.
Silva is coming off a solid victory over fellow Brazilian Vitor Belfort and if St. Pierre can get past Shields, both fighters will have basically cleaned out their divisions. For this fight to happen though, GSP will have to give up his title and move up to 185-pounds (from 170), a challenge in itself.
So the question is: When the fight is over, whose arm will be raised? (more…)
Hey folks, it’s Monday and that means another 15 Minutes of Fame Video for you.
This week, Geoff and Jim talk about the Edmonton Oilers and the relatively healthy lineup the Oil are icing day to day. They talk about Zack Stortini and his demotion down to the AHL. They also talk about UFC 126 where Anderson Silva front kicked Vitor Belfort for a huge win. And they comment on the return of Peter Forsberg to the NHL.
In this week’s GABBYs: on the good side – BIG fight week in the NHL, BIG fight opportunity in the UFC and BIG slap shots in the KHL. On the bad side, BAD hits in the NHL, BAD names for fans of soccer and a BAD injury for Evgeni Malkin.
In Quick Hits: Jennifer Heil calls it quits, Tom Brady is the AP NFL MVP and Jim and I are hosting a live sports roundtable.

What’s in a Name?
It’s been four days since Fernando Torres made headlines in the soccer world by moving from Liverpool to Chelsea on a record breaking transfer, and while he gets ready to face his old club on Sunday, one Liverpool fan is mourning his team’s loss more than any other…
His name? Fernando Torres McCormark.
This Is Scunthorpe says the man, formerly known as Shaun McCormark, changed his name in December to honor his favorite team’s best player. Now he is left with a tough decision: does he stick with his club and get his name changed to something else, or does he follow Torres and become a Chelsea supporter? (more…)
