Bengals Rookie LB Rey Maualuga Arrested for DUI

January 29th, 2010 by Colin

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga was held Friday morning on charges of drunken driving and careless driving at the Kenton County jail in Covington.

Maualuga, 23, of Cincinnati is scheduled to appear later Friday in Kenton County District Court for a video arraignment, jail officials said.

He was booked in shortly after 3 a.m. after Covington police pulled him over.

Not another story of Bengals’ players in trouble with the law! Oh yeah. Maualuga was a force on the field until an injury sidelined him. He is a young guy who made a mistake, I’m sure he will return next year with more focus.

UFC 112 Set to Take Place In Abu Ghabi

January 28th, 2010 by Colin

First ever open-air event to take place in United Arab Emirates April 11th.

The event will feature a double main event. Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva defends his belt against Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfor. BJ ‘The Prodigy’ Penn defends his belt against Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar.

UFC President Dana White said: “This is one of the biggest and most significant nights in the history of the UFC. UFC 112 is our first ever outdoor event and it is taking place in the hometown of our brand new partners, Flash Entertainment. We are very happy we could deliver what fans around the world will recognise as a stacked card featuring the sport’s biggest stars.”

“Anderson Silva is back in the Octagon(TM), and back at 185lbs to defend his belt against maybe the one guy he may want to take the fight to the ground with. Vitor Belfort has recaptured the form which saw him rip through heavyweights and light heavyweights a decade ago, and Silva vs Belfort is one of those fights where, if there was a roof for this event, it would come off just before the start of the first round.”

“BJ Penn is another UFC champion who is looking unstoppable right now, but Frankie Edgar is improving so quickly and has such an attacking style that he may be the guy to end BJ’s reign.

“Plus, Matt Hughes vs Renzo Gracie is a clash between two legends who each have a lot on the line in this fight. The winner adds another great name to his list of victims and gets right into the title hunt.”

The event is stacked with the biggest names in MMA today. Check out the full fightcard here: UFC 112

Pens set to take on surging Sens

January 28th, 2010 by Colin

The Pittsbugh Penguins will take on the Ottawa Senators tonight in Mellon Arena.

The Senators have won seven in a row and could match the franchise record of eight straight with a win tonight.

The last time the teams met the Penguins won 8-2, and the Senators had no defensive answer for the high flying Penguins, as Evgeni Malkin’s hat trick topped off what was unquestionably the worst loss of the season.

The Penguins look to get over their midseason slump with a victory tonight. They have won four of their last six.

The Pens will be playing without enforcer Eric Godard who is likely to miss four to six weeks with a groin injury. Bill Guerin will miss another game making way for the red-hot Chris Conner, who score two goals in his last game.

With a win the Sharks could open a four point lead in the West. The Blackhawks could pull even in points with a win and have a two win advantage over the Sharks.

Both teams are playing at the top of their game and this one should be exciting!
