Not sure if you saw the news this week but former Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and Evander Holyfield raised over one million dollars in a charity `fight`. The 68 year-old Romney lasted two rounds with Holyfield, 52, before he ran away and tossed in the towel. While the two barley threw any punches and mainly danced around, most people are still considering it the `fight of the year`. Here`s looking at you Manny and Floyd.
A friend of mine had an interesting statistic this week. Since the Hawks are playing Lebron and the Cav`s this week Atlanta fans need to be weary of referee Joe Crawford. When Crawford ref`s a playoff game that Lebron plays in, his team has a record of 25-3. When he plays in a playoff game that is not officialed by Crawford, Lebron`s record becomes 66-53.

In a `what are they thinking` moment of the week, the Miami Dolphins gave Ryan Tannehill a $96 million contract. Tannehill`s record as a starter is 23-25. Talk about setting the market for guys like Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson.
I`ve seen a lot of folks complaining about `bandwaggoner`s and the Hawks lately. While my `love` for the Hawks fails in comparisons to the Dawgs, I`ve been a non boisterous fan for some time. However, my feeling about bandwaggoners have changed lately. Here`s why. If you like a restaurant and they start to have bad service and their food isn`t as good as you would like are you still going to visit them frequently? I don`t think so. The Hawks have not placed a good product on the floor for many, many years and thus fans have not wanted to drop the money for a ticket. Being a family man now I can see why. With only a small amount of so called entertainment funds, you have to spend wisely. Why invest in a `bad hamburger`.
On the flip side, now that the Hawks are in the Eastern Conference Finals, have you seen what the price increase on the tickets are? Those are some good hamburgers.
