The Yankees continue to roll, and it's not that they're just winning, it's how they're doing it. When you're 17-5 and finding new ways to rally from behind, you're doing a lot of things right. There's a special aura around this team. Just like in April when even though the team was scuffling and looked old, tired and already finished, the season wasn't over, it's not yet the All-Star break. Still, there's a unique vibe around the Yankees not seen in years. My colleague and friend Jerome Preisler documented many layers from Thursday's victory.
It's an exciting weekend for MMA fans with Strikeforce tomorrow night and WEC 41 (Brown vs. Faber II) Sunday night. Yours truly has been assigned to interview the loser of that highly-anticipated rematch once he's decompressed and has a chance to evaluate his next step. Writing for a moment as a fan, I'd be happy if either wins. Mike Brown and Urijah Faber are two first-class individuals and it would be with a touch of regret to do my job and discuss why one of them had to lose.
On Monday, Junkie is publishing my feature on Cain Velasquez in advance of his fight against Cheick Kongo at UFC 99. Trust me when I tell you that there is more to this intimidating presence than meets the eye. I also have a message out to Seth Petruzelli in hopes of getting his reaction to Kimbo Slice - the man he knocked out in 14 seconds - getting his shot at a UFC contract on The Ultimate Fighter, Season 10.
FIGHT! Magazine has me working too. We confirmed a feature on Brock Larson, a rising welterweight contender brought to the UFC when the WEC discontinued the division.
