Ken, I'm nominating you to be KF's Sports Reporter, if KF indeed had such a position. Your coverage is on point and well thought out, especially when it comes to sports. I've enjoyed your sports posts thoroughly!! Thank you!!

I only watched 3 games today. The Raiders VS Dolphins and Seahawks VS 49ers and the Chiefs VS Bills games. Raiders lost, again, which pretty much ends their playoff hopes. Dolphin 34 and Raiders 19. Raiders have already been eliminated from this seasons playoffs. The Seahawks barely defeated the 49ers, but they did win for sure. Seahawks 20 and 49ers 17. Seahawks must win BOTH games to the Cardinals for any playoff chances. As KarateKen alluded to, the Chiefs lost to the Bills in a game that I thought the Bills had their minds more in the game than the Chiefs despite the near close game. The 3-6 Cowboys host the 6-4 Texans tomorrow night even though the Cowboys have been eliminated from this season's playoff. GO COWBOYS!! (At least try to get a few more wins)

I agree with Patrick...Tons of fun! Never thought I'd ever say that about the Cobra Kai Series, however, Season 6, Part 2, changed my mind about its entertainment factor. It did help me a tiny bit that there are some valid MAist's in Part 2. Had not what happened to Kwon, that brawl would still be going on. KorroddyDude alluded to the fact that there WILL be a Part 3 (TBD) with 5 more episodes. I didn't catch that until I looked at Cobra Kai on Wikipedia tonight. where, indeed, Part 3 with its 5 episodes return to Nextflix on February 13, 2025.

So sorry to read about the passing of your friend. During this time, I want to offer my sincere condolences and prayers to you and your friends' family during this difficult time.

Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, sitting next to each other, were in attendance at the Paul VS Tyson fight tonight at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.

With all of the hype!! With all of the build-up!! With this and that one can be expected to sell tickets!! With the jawing between those two which culminated to the "Slap"!! All I saw was a boxing exhibition, and no more. Tyson made a point of saying at his post-fight interview, that he's nothing to prove to anyone except for himself. I agree. After all, what can someone expect from any fighter that's 58 years old. Tyson threw almost 100 punches vs Paul throwing nearly 300 punches. Paul landed 78 punches and Tyson only landed 18 punches. Rounds 1 and 2 belonged to Tyson as he looked quite alive and kept pursuing Paul throughout all 8 rounds. Like I said, all I watched was a boxing exhibition. Did Paul carry Tyson for 8 rounds?? Maybe...Maybe not. Did Paul restrain himself against Tyson?? Maybe...Maybe not. The impetus changed by the 3rd round. Without sounding like a broken record...I saw a boxing exhibition. Both fights expressed respect and admiration towards each other. Paul said that while he was trying to knock out Tyson, he was worried that Tyson would knock him out instead. Tyson implied that maybe his next fight will be against Jake's brother, Logan, of which Logan quipped he'd "kill" him. The other fight that was not on the card was Netflix VS Customers. I fought hard and long to watch the entire card but with the constant freezing of my TV, I was forced to watch the fights on my phone but that too had its difficulties at time. Winner?? Draw!!

The face-off at their weighing was quite humorous. Supposedly, Paul stepped on Tyson's sock-covered right foot while wearing tennis shoes, as to the reason why Tyson slapped Paul. Like I said, quite humorous. Funny thing I read this morning was that both fighters will be suspended, ahem, "rest periods", right after their fight. These "rest periods" seem to be mandatory in the boxing world, but not always. Boxing fighters are suspended after a fight based on the regulations. Each fighter is told to rest for three days for every round fought. If a fighter loses by TKO, they will be suspended for a maximum of 30 days. If the fight ends in a knockout, the beaten fighter will be medically suspended for at least 60 days.

How long have you been a LEO now, Brian??

In honor of all of the men and women who have served and continue to serve. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Happy Veterans Day!!

Countdown: Paul vs Tyson is a 3-episode documentary on Netflix. I still pick Tyson to win over Paul...just as long as Tyson doesn't get cocky. I'll get the wings and diet soda to enjoy during the fight. Last time I did that, many, many years ago, Tyson knocked out his opponent in the 1st round: I lost money...$50 for the PPV and $25 for the food and drinks. 1st round knockout?? That was then, this is now, but my monies on Tyson.

Sure!! I think it would be a hoot to have us three on the floor at the same time. I don't know just how much I will be of use due to my limited mobility. BUT I'll try my very best to be worthy of you both!!

I can see the Chiefs' Redwood Forest and Legion of Doom doing what NO NFL team has ever accomplished during the Super Bowl age...THREE-PEAT!!

As least I saw the Yankees return to the WS after a 15-year drought before I shed my mortal coil. I was beginning to think that the Yankees weren't ever going to return to the WS. I was great to see the Dodgers VS Yankees once again battling it out during a WS; brought back a lot of fond memories when they faced each other in the 1981 WS...when I was a big Dodgers fan. I could say a lot about how the Yankees did not perform during the 2024 WS, but I promised myself that I'd NOT do that. Why? It would serve no purpose whatsoever!! The Dodgers were the best team, by far. The Dodgers earned this WS and my respect.

You know what?? That method escaped me totally. Makes a ton of sense. Thanks for pointing that out, Brian.

Let's do it next summer!! What do you think??

Same with me. My roundhouse kicks always have my supporting foot 180 degrees away from target. Brian noticed when we worked out together years ago, my attacking foot is always pre-loaded, I believe is how he described it.

I can either laugh or cry at some of the NFL teams as far as how they seem to be self-destructing themselves week after week. I choice to just laugh. My Cowboys have a 22% chance of making it to the playoffs. The Seahawks, a team that one of my friend's cheers on, have a 21% chance of making it to the playoffs. The Raiders, a team that my wife cheers on, only have a 1% chance of making it to the playoffs. Read recently that these 5 NFL Head Coaches might get the axe... >>Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce.

Actually, not cruel, just being really honest. After all, it's the student's choice. Train or not train; I really don't care one way or another. My floor is always open whenever the student decides to train but I'll not chase them, nor will I beg them; that's just not me...I don't need any student that bad,

Do the kiai loud, but make sure that it's done correctly so as to the muscle memory will be effective in a real situation.

Congrats, KorroddyDude; well deserved!!

I appreciate what you're saying, aurik; means a lot to me. Thank you, sir!!

My first tournament was way back in 1965 as a white belt. I lost. I remember that I lost so bad that I almost quit training right on the spot. My mom made me go back to the dojo because she paid for a full year.

Well, in a real-life situation it's all about taking care of business, which means there's no time to meditate. Like Ed Parker said..."He who hesitates, meditates horizontally". Save the meditation for the dojo because there's less opportunity to get blindsided by a dojo-mate...unless you're in a Pink Panther Movie.

Featuring Mr. Miyagi?? I wonder how they'd do that?? Hopefully not like it was done for Game of Death with inserting various pictures or scenes of Bruce Lee; that way was so, well, cheap.

Up, out, back, down. No matter what kick, this is the method of which I've always executed said kick at said target. Why? Because of penetration, set-ups, protection, and effectiveness. No up, out, down because without the 'back' part of any said kick, said kick is sloppy and vulnerable.
