Jim Cerny, a colleague and friend from my hockey writing days, has launched a new blog called "Rink Rap." Jim's covered the NHL for more than 20 years working as radio play-by-play voice of the Islanders and now as the beat writer for the Rangers' official Web site. You can't have a big enough hockey fix, especially in the New York metropolitan area. Jim will keep you plugged in.
Seth Petruzelli knocked out Chris Baten at 2:23 of the first round last Saturday in his first post Kimbo Slice bout. The Silverback told me days before that he's been in talks with Strikeforce and the UFC about a return to the latter promotion. This is a nice first step.
Keep an eye on MMAJunkie.com tomorrow for my exclusive interview with "The Smashing Machine," Mark Kerr, who is attempting another comeback and this time in the best frame of mind he's been in his whole life. Kerr will fight rising star Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal at M-1 Global's first televised event Friday night in Kansas City. Seconding Lawal is his close friend Daniel Cormier, the former Olympian who spoke with me shortly after singing an MMA contract with Zinkin Entertainment.
Contrary to popular belief, the Yankees haven't wrapped up the AL East. There's more than a month to go and Tuesday night the Texas Rangers showed why the road to a championship won't be easy. I'll be at Yankee Stadium tomorrow to learn more about the team that's shooting for its first postseason appearance since 1999.
