Diego "Chico" Corrales has died. A motorcycle accident in Las Vegas claimed him. His fight with Jose Luis Castillo in 2005 was epic. It easily ranks as one of the best fights of all-time. No shit, a fight in the 21st century was that great. Sadly, exactly two years later, he's dead.



















With both guys failing to make weight in the last year, Castillo will fight Ricky Hatton next month, while Corrales also had to move up to welterweight and just last month was defeated by Joshua Clottey. He was one of the few guys in boxing who exhibited heart. Many talk about it, he really displayed it in the ring. It's sad that his better boxing days were behind him, but he was only 29 and that's way too young to leave.

Band Madness is down to the Final Four. I mean, how do you realistically pick from David Bowie vs. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin vs. Pink Floyd?

What would you rather do this year?

Office Fest 2007 or Lebowski Fest or
the Dean Martin Festival with Dennis Farina?

We get it. Gas is expensive. But quit sending those "Boycott Gas E-Mails". It doesn't work unless we all ride bikes. And that ain't gonna happen. Sorry, Al.

Uh-oh, SI jinx be damned. Grady Sizemore makes the cover of SI. In a week of Mayweather-de la Hoya and the Kentucky Derby, that says a lot.

If gas continues to be over $3 -which it will because other than Dennis Kucinich and the emailers, no one is doing anything about it -I won't be able to find my way to Scranton, Stuebenville or even Sandusky!!!
