 Another sad chapter in the life of the former WWF/WCW headliner. Scott Hall was arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend in an alcohol--induced rage last Friday.  http://sports.yahoo.com/news/scott-hall-arrested-beating-girlfriend-fans-reaction-193600202--spt.html It doesn't seem so long ago that Scott Hall was a major player in the wrestling game.Now the former Intercontinental Champion is just a shell of his former self.Sadly, this seems to be a natural regression in the sport of professional wrestling.

Atlanta is nowhere to be found on anyone's radar.Sure, Atlanta signed Lofa Tatupu—the former USC and Seattle Seahawks linebacker who was a ...

 OK, maybe a bit of hyperbole here considering that this was a friendly, but to us in the States, the United States beating Italy in an International Friendly was a major milestone.The rest of the world may look on this as either Italy tripping up and underestimating their opponent or sheer luck by the United States Yanks. But to us Sam's Army's true, die-hard supporters, this shows us what we have been hoping, wanting and praying for; that Jürgen Klinsmann, the amazing former German striker, can fix this squad.The game was an eye opener. I was amazed at the end of ...
