A-Rod, Ordonez, Utley and Wright pushing to be MVPs
Originally Published: September 4, 2007
Jayson Stark | ESPN.com
September isn't just a month when pennants are won. It's also a month when MVP trophies are won.
So let's take a look at the most prominent MVP candidates in each league -- and where they stand with four weeks left in a sensational season.Rodriguez
American League
Alex RodriguezLeads the league in: HR, RBIs, runs, total bases, slugging, OPS, runs created per 27 outs
Top five in: OBP, extra-base hits
Scoring position: 44 for 143, .308 (76 RBIs in 191 plate appearances) We haven't gotten any official updates on whether A-Rod has qualified as a "True Yankee" yet. But we can say with zero hesitation that he has definitely qualified as a "Player with a Chance to Make Some Big-Time History." If his last month goes anything like his first five, he's going to finish with 53 homers, 155 RBIs and 147 runs scored. So even if he tails off to 50-140-140, here's what that would mean: Babe Ruth had three seasons like that. All the other players who ever lived have had four -- just one of them (by Sammy Sosa) in the last 69 years. So unless A-Rod hits, like, .046 in September and the Yankees go 4-20, he's your clear-cut MVP favorite.
Leads the league in: Average, scoring-position average
Top five in: RBIs, runs, doubles, total bases, OBP, slugging, OPS, multi-hit games, extra-base hits, runs created per 27 outs
Scoring position: 68 for 166, .410 (90 RBIs in 198 RISP plate appearances) Hold on. Great as A-Rod has been, we're not authorizing anyone to engrave his name on the old MVP hardware just yet. That's because out there in Detroit, Ordonez has been practically Ty Cobb reincarnate for a Tigers team that has needed him more than ever since Gary Sheffield's shoulder started acting up. Ordonez just had his best month of the year (which is saying something) in August -- erupting for 10 homers, 31 RBIs, a bunch of mega-clutch hits and a scintillating .393 AVG/.445 OBP/.692 SLG/1.137 OPS stat line. And if he keeps up his current pace (.358, 31 HR, 143 RBIs, 121 runs, 52 doubles, 83 extra-base hits), he would be just the fourth player ever with that set of eye-popping numbers. The others: Lou Gehrig (1927), Chuck Klein (1930) and Todd Helton (2000). So if the Tigers scramble back to make the playoffs, we wish those poor voters luck trying to sort out an A-Rod versus Magglio debate that has no right (or wrong) answer.
Leads the league in: Doubles
Top five in: RBIs, extra-base hits, OPS, runs created per 27 outs, RISP average
Scoring position: 53 for 148, .358 (81 RBIs in 195 RISP plate appearances) We're not sure how many extra points Guerrero deserves for being, essentially, the only real power threat in his lineup and The Angel No One Wants To Pitch To. But the fact that he leads the league in intentional walks by a gigantic margin (25 for him, 16 for runner-up Travis Hafner) tells you all you need to know. He isn't having quite the monstrous or historic year that A-Rod and Ordonez are having. But September is a time when contenders give their stars numerous opportunities to crank out those way-too-influential "SportsCenter" MVP Moments. So Vlad is still a big part of this argument.
Leads the league in: Hits, multi-hit games
Top five in: Average, stolen bases, scoring-position average
Scoring position: 45 for 118, .381 (51 RBIs in 142 RISP plate appearances) We never know quite what to make of Ichiro at MVP time, because his repertoire is so much different from the other candidates, so uniquely Ichiro-esque. He has a shot to become the first player in history to pile up his third 230-hit season. He has been spectacular in center field. He's heading for the second-highest on-base percentage of his career. He'll almost certainly steal 40 bases again. And his scoring-position numbers are good enough that he actually has more hits than A-Rod with men in scoring position, in 25 fewer at-bats. But much as we love watching this guy, why can't we talk ourselves out of this feeling that J.J. Putz is actually the Mariners' real MVP?
Leads the league in: OBP
Top five in: OPS, slugging, doubles, walks, extra-base hits
Scoring position: 45 for 129, .349 (63 RBIs in 160 plate appearances) We could go with lots of tremendous candidates in this fifth spot. But in case you'd forgotten, the Red Sox do have the best record in baseball. And Ortiz, even though he hasn't had one of those vintage Big Papi years, is still one of the most productive hitters alive. Yeah, his homers are down. Yeah, his flair for late-inning magic isn't quite so Hollywoodish. But the folks at Baseball Prospectus rank him third in the AL (behind only A-Rod and Ordonez) in VORP -- a stat that measures a player's "value" compared to what an average replacement player would be likely to produce. And that tells you the Red Sox still wouldn't be what they are without him. Rest of our top 10: J.J. Putz, Curtis Granderson, Jorge Posada, Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter.
National League
Chase UtleyLeads the league in: Average, hit by pitch
Top five in: Doubles, slugging, on-base percentage, runs created per 27 outs
Scoring position: 40 for 132, .303 (66 RBIs in 157 RISP plate appearances) It isn't so much that Utley could miss a month and still be heading for 50 doubles, 80 extra-base hits, 100 RBIs and 100 runs scored. It isn't so much that he might win a batting title, or that he has transformed himself from a defensive clunker into a Gold Glove-type second baseman. There's just something about all the energy this guy emits, the tone he sets, the relentless pace he plays at. He's one of those rare players everybody in the sport admires -- guys on his team, guys on the other team, the GMs who wish they'd drafted him and the stat guys who love crunching his numbers. Utley was the clear MVP favorite when he broke his hand. Then his team acted like it never wanted to lose again for the first week after he came back. Why do we think that's not a coincidence?
Leads the league in: No major categories
Top five in: Runs, runs created per 27 outs
Scoring position: 39 for 126, .310 (62 RBIs in 166 RISP plate appearances) Jose Reyes seemed to be anointed early as the Mets' designated MVP candidate. But we think Wright has passed his favorite shortstop, with a season that gets better as it rolls along. Sheez, this man has a .477 on-base percentage (best in the big leagues) and .366 batting average since the All-Star break, with 44 runs scored (second only to Jimmy Rollins) and a .593 slugging percentage (better than A-Rod, Magglio or Prince Fielder). Wright also has a shot to be a 30-homer, 30-steal, 100-run, 100-RBI, .300-hitting on-base machine. And Baseball Prospectus ranks him atop every player on an NL contender (and behind only Hanley Ramirez) in VORP. So as much fun as Reyes can be on any given trip around the bases, it's the guy playing next to him who is really the Mets' MVP.
Leads the league in: Home runs, extra-base hits (tied), slugging
Top five in: RBIs, intentional walks
Scoring position: 27 for 107, .252 (50 RBIs in 143 RISP plate appearances) There might not be a single other candidate whose fate is so intertwined with the fate of his team as the Prince of Milwaukee. If the Brewers bumble out of this race, there are so many stellar candidates that voters could easily overlook Fielder's power numbers and focus on other stuff -- such as the fact that he has just 27 hits all year with men in scoring position. If the Brewers have a fun little comeback story in them, on the other hand, those same voters will focus on the fact that Fielder has a shot at Mark McGwire's all-time record for most homers by a 23-year-old (49). And that he's almost certainly going to break Robin Yount's record for most extra-base hits by a Brewer (82). And, maybe most importantly, that Fielder has grown into a formidable on-field and off-field presence on a team with very little postseason experience -- or experience, period. So it's a big, big month for this fellow -- and all his fellow Brew Crew-ers.
Leads the league in: Runs, triples, total bases, extra-base hits (tied), multi-hit games
Top five in: Hits
Scoring position: 37 for 133, .278 (54 RBIs in 156 RISP plate appearances) About the only two people in Philadelphia who haven't gotten hurt this year are Rollins and Harry Kalas. So Rollins gets points just for being a nonstop energizer on a team that easily could have wallowed in its own bad luck. But he gets more points for having one of the great seasons by a shortstop in National League history. He's going to obliterate the post-1900 NL records for most extra-base hits by a shortstop (83, by Ernie Banks) and most runs scored by a shortstop (132, by Pee Wee Reese) -- and has a legit shot at A-Rod's modern major-league records in both departments (91 and 141, respectively). He's the most underrated defensive shortstop in baseball. His impact on the clubhouse is undeniable. And unlike Utley, who has put up much bigger numbers at Citizens Bank Hitters Paradise, Rollins' home/road splits are almost indistinguishable. So it's hard to believe how little MVP conversation this man has generated, considering the year he's had.
Leads the league in: No major categories
Top five in: Homers, OBP, OPS, multi-hit games, intentional walks
Scoring position: 29 for 99, .296 (54 RBIs in 141 plate appearances) This NL MVP derby is such a free-for-all, it's almost impossible just to list five names. We haven't even mentioned the league leader in RBIs (Ryan Howard), the league leader in hits (Matt Holliday), two men having big years for teams that lost contact with the race months ago (Hanley Ramirez and that Barry Bonds guy), two starting pitchers with serious MVP cases (Jake Peavy and Brandon Webb) or a guy who has held the Braves together all year (Chipper Jones). So hold those e-mails about how we're snubbing your favorite players. We were allowed to list only five, even though there might be 12 players with a shot to win this thing. But the man who sneaked in here in the fifth slot (for now) had to be Pujols. Had to be. The Cardinals have had so many offensive issues, we guarantee they'll finish the year with fewer runs scored than the Phillies have already. So if this team stomps back from nine games under.500 and 10½ games out to win the Central, it will be impossible not to look long and hard at Pujols, who has cemented this lineup together even more than usual. Rest of our top 10: Chipper Jones, Matt Holliday, Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Howard, Jake Peavy. Jayson Stark is a senior writer for ESPN.com.

Front desk told us if we wanted them changed we had to do it ourselves and threw two bundles of clean bedding at us!

Imagine the world with no borders
No boundaries to fight about
Imagine the peace and love
And no need for the doubt
Think of a world with no leader
No rats to run the race
And every single loved one
Has a single face
A vision of the light above me
Shining into the corners
Feeling of joy, for the terminal mourners
A voice, on the speaker
Hums a mellow song
And together we're the ones
Who've loved you all along
Loved you all along
Now the place of which I'm speaking
Has yet to arrive
But I hope to see this place
While I'm still alive
The thoughtless of today
Have yet to feel the urge
Yet the day will come
When our minds and our souls will merge

UPDATED: Media Rights Capital, which produced the Matt Damon film, was fighting over whether the sci-fi story was in the public domain.
The legal fight over The Adjustment Bureau has been resolved.
Media Rights Capital, which produced the Matt Damon film, traded lawsuits with the estate of author Philip K. Dick over claims that the rights to the sci-fi story were in the public domain. But the two sides are settling the case, releasing the following carefully crafted statement on Tuesday:
"Media Rights Capital and the Philip K. Dick Estate have resolved their claims against each other concerning The Adjustment Bureau. The settlement includes the opportunity to work together on future Philip K. Dick Estate properties."
In October 2011, the estate of the late sci-fi author sued MRC and filmmaker George Nolfi in federal court claiming they were refusing to pay millions of dollars in royalties because they believed the story that formed the basis for the film was in the public domain. The Dick estate claimed Nolfi approached it in 2001 seeking rights to The Adjustment Team, Dick's 1953 story about a group of men who "adjust" the lives of ordinary citizens. The estate agreed to license the story, with Nolfi saying he would make "substantial payments" to the trust if the movie ever got made.
Years later, Nolfi and MRC exercised an option to produce the movie for Universal. But a month after the film was released in March 2011, Nolfi and MRC claimed they discovered that Adjustment Team was in the public domain, which should have allowed them to make the movie without paying the trust anything.
A judge later dismissed key claims in the case from federal court, prompting the estate to drop the lawsuit entirely. The trust then re-filed the case in state court as a claim for breach of contract and other causes of action.
Now the two sides have come to an agreement to end the litigation.
"The Estate is pleased to continue our relationship with MRC," said Laura Leslie, Philip K. Dick's daughter and trustee for the Estate, in a statement. "MRC's talent-friendly executives and proven track record of producing high-quality entertainment across multiple platforms make them an ideal partner for us."
MRC was represented by Michael Kump and Jeremiah Reynolds of Santa Monica's Kinsella Weitzman firm. The Dick estate was repped by Russell Frackman at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Is your business losing out on the web? Los Angeles, California Internet marketing company Cyberset is cautioning large and small businesses that web sites that might have been perfectly acceptable some time ago simply will not work in the present marketing environment. Today, high quality content and search engine marketing dominate.
In the era of easy access to online computers -- not to mention iPhones, iPads, Kindles, and all the rest -- consumers of all ages are becoming more and more 'net savvy. A website that looks even subtly outdated or disorganized can turn off potential customers before they even have a chance to consider your product. Quality online marketing services like Cyberset understand that the old cliche, "you only have one chance to make a first impression," is even truer in an environment where decisions are made instantly.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter what kind of impression you make if nobody comes to your site. Business owners who are failing to take advantage of the latest techniques in search engine optimization (SEO), which ensures your company comes up high enough on Google and Bing searches to catch a consumer's eye, are almost certainly leaving a great deal of money on the table and falling behind their competitors.
Keeping up with the competition on the Internet is no small task. Ensuring that a web site is fully optimized for the most popular search engines involves making certain that the site's architecture is set up to be as friendly to such search engines as possible. Then, information on the site must be continually added and updated in order to make sure search engines know that your site is a vital player in its field.
Companies that are being left behind on the 21st century's most powerful communications medium need to investigate how best to reinvigorate their site and bring it up to date. By far the best and easiest way to do this is to contact a firm like Cyberset.
An all-in-one search engine marketing, and web design company, Cyberset's efforts are geared toward maximizing the potential of web sites for businesses large and small. Businesses like yours can't afford to let their aged sites create the wrong impression in new customers, and they can't afford to let their competitors grab all the Internet eyeballs because potential customers are unable to find you. If your website appears to be from another decade, or another century, now is the time to act.
If you would like to learn more about Cyberset Internet marketing services, please call 800-601-5053 or visit the company online at www.Cyberset.com.
About Cyberset:
Cyberset provides web marketing, IT support, web design, and numerous additional marketing and online services for companies of all sizes. The company was founded by Siamak Kalhor and Shahab Saba, its President and CEO.

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 28, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 4,610 |

It kind of reminds me of Donnie Darko, in that the film becomes increasingly abstract as the story evolves. I personally feel like that's more of a cop out writers use to dance around common tropes and cliches that are synonymous with the standard plot formula. It's not one of my favorites--imo slightly overrated--but, it does stand out as being a more memorable movie.
I found the satirical themes to be greatest element in this movie, more so than the amazing cast (FYI Norton=Magic). It really mocks the impression of the theater industry whilst giving an accurate measure of where the acting profession is going, or where it already is.

A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.40 / 5.00 6,434 ViewsWell it is the flash i had worked more... so I hope you enjoy it!
Actually I realy liked it aside of the drawing style
it realy is like im in school.... the idea is great, just clean it up (a lot) and make some moments more obvious and ur all good! (like the clock's second hand at the beginning, or the fighting between the Presidents)
for such a long wait, this was highly disappointing. try and learn how to bevel and use other filters correctly- you'd completely overdone them. Movements were choppy at the best of times, and it was difficult to understand what the hell was going on. Overall, terrible. But keep trying.
What is bevel?

New 2015 Ford Everest SUV Peaks Interest At Its Chinese Debut
by Motors.newThe attractively styled and generously equipped 2015 Ford Everest SUV made its debut at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing, China, disappointing delegates from this side of the pond who won't be able to purchase the Asia-Pacific market only vehicle back home.
New Born Fame: Controversial Toy Biz Gets Babies Active On Social Media
by Beth Graddon-HodgsonThese days it seems as though the minimum age requirement for using
social media is getting progressively younger with each new development.
While children and adolescents are on Facebook sharing the lunch packed
by a doting parent, there's one age group that's noticeably absent in
the creation of their own digital footprint - babies. However, a new
niche company is destined to change that.
2015 Cadillac SRX To Be Made In China With Smaller Engines & Lower Pricing

Will Tsu Become The Next Paypal?
by Ron CallariFacebook, Twitter and LinkedIn may be profiting from all that user-generated content users post on their networks
daily — but are you? Yes, they have all provided us with some fun and
engaging ecosystems to strut our stuff, and ofcourse there are cost
factors attached to all that development. But at the end of the day, do our images, bon mots, intellectual property and reputations hold no value at all?
McKamey Manor: Horror Movie Experience From Your Nightmares
by Beth Graddon-HodgsonPsychopathic killers, stalker clowns, paranormal poltergeists - it's the
season for them. We invite them into our lives by showcasing them on
our televisions, retelling spooky tales by flashlight, and even paying
to have them scare the pants off us. We've seen many businesses try
their hand at the scare industry, but this Halloween we're featuring one
that takes it to a level that only those with a criminal record have
gone before. Seriously.
Walk While You're Working With TrekDesk
by Samantha PankeyMore and more we are leading sedentary lifestyles. Technology is making it easier to accomplish tasks with minimal physical effort, and we are seeing our bodies develop bad posture, pack on the pounds and become more prone to injury and illness. Enter TrekDesk. Give your sedentary schedule a energetic boost with this treadmill desk.
Is The New Social Network Tsu An MLM?
by Ron CallariSocial media's shiniest new thing is relatively new. If you were to conduct a Google or Bing search, you might have to wade through results for a telecom company's stock ticker (TSU) or Texas Southern University, before you surface Tsu.co.
But that will change if this social network's monetization scheme takes
hold and starts attracting those social networkers who are tired of the
current cast of big players taking home . . .
AU My! 50 Gold Taxicabs Take To The Streets Of Shanghai
by China.newWelcome to China, where the streets may not be paved in gold but the taxicabs that ply them sure do look golden! The first 50 cabs from Shanghai's new fleet of Chinese-made, gold painted TX4 "London Taxis" just hit the roads with another 150 on order.
Seeker Seeks A Seat At The Energy Drink Bar
by Steve LevensteinMove over, Red Bull, a challenger from Japan is seeking to earn its wings in the increasingly crowded energy drink sector. Kobe-based Seeker Energy Drink eschews cans for bottles, is tinted a particularly brilliant shade of yellow, and could use a dash of copyediting before it's really ready for prime time.
New 2017 Jaguar XE Will Have A Diesel Engine, Automatic Transmission
by Motors.newA diesel engine in my Jaguar? It's more likely than you think, and it's a 4-cylinder motor to boot! Adding insult to perceived injury, when the U.S.-spec Jaguar XE finally debuts in late 2016, the only transmission option available will be automatic. Austin Powers weeps.
When Social Media Flies The Not-So-Friendly Skies
by Ron CallariThere's no question when airlines relaxed their cellphone usage policies inflight, air travel for passengers and flight attendants changed overnight - and we're not talking red-eyes here. That's right, when the FAA reversed its position on
making it mandatory to switch to the 'Airplane Mode,' we are now all
able (after take-off) to fire up any and all of our devices including
smartphones, tablets, laptops and eReaders . . .
Meet The New 2015 MG GT... It's Not Your Father's MGB But Dear Old Dad Would Approve

Owned (since 2007) by Chinese automaker SAIC, MG now offers a full range of cars to the Chinese market and assembles others from knocked-down kits at its venerable British production plant.

World's First 3D Printed Car Is Electric, Plastic & Fantastic
by Motors.newIs there a 3D printed car in your future? Local Motors thinks so and their showcase auto, the carbon-reinforced ABS plastic Strati roadster, underlines the fact the future begins right now.
Twitter Outrage: Separating The Tweet From The Chaff, From The Kardashians to Kent State
by Ron CallariThe concept of separating the 'wheat from the chaff' dates back to Gospel of Matthew from the New Testament.
In the Digital Age, that parable bears significance when measuring
outrage on social networks like Twitter. The microblogging platform has
acted as a barometer for our level of emotions when we are dismayed,
appalled or shocked by current-day events. But how do we separate the
meaningful from . . .
One-Stop-Shop On iPhone 6 & Twitter
by Ron CallariThe old AMEX ad slogan of 'don't leave home without it' is apropos when referencing the new social trend of 'instant
purchasing.' Within the very same week, both Apple and Twitter have
devised new mobile e-commerce options. The stickiness of making a
purchase without leaving the confines a social network or opening up
several apps on your smartphone is appealing to the no-nonsense digerati
who gravitate towards. . .

Toyota To Revive Classic Workhorse J70 Land Cruiser For One Year Only
by Motors.newThough Toyota's legendary J70 Land Cruiser hasn't been manufactured or sold in Japan since 2004, the rugged four-wheel drive pickup's domestic fan base never stopped clamoring for its return. It seems Toyota heard them after all, as the automaker is gearing up to produce around 200 J70's domestically every month for one year, and for one year only.

A Whangamata man who was on the run for almost two years after being arrested in a multi-million dollar methamphetamine bust has been jailed for more than 17 years.
Steven John Mehrtens was today sentenced to 17 years and nine months at the High Court in Auckland on charges he was convicted of last year.
The 57-year-old was arrested with his co-accused, Scott Warren Filer, and charged in May 2010 as part of Operation Acacia.
He was later released on electronically monitored bail, but shortly before his trial in December 2010, he cut off his monitoring bracelet and went on the run.
Mehrtens was convicted in absentia of conspiracy to deal methamphetamine, two of manufacturing methamphetamine, a charge of possession of methamphetamine for supply and two of selling methamphetamine.
Almost a year later, in September 2012, he was arrested in a combined Waikato and Bay of Plenty police operation.
Mehrtens, of Whangamata, had claimed to have only acted as a courier for Filer, transporting pre-cursor drugs and a "small amount" of methamphetamine from Auckland to the Coromandel Peninsula.
But Justice Patrick Keane today rejected that claim.
Justice Keane ordered the forfeiture of items found on Mehrtens during his arrest in 2010.
The court heard Mehrtens had a "harmful pattern of drug abuse" which he claimed to have "under control" despite using one gram or more of the class A drug daily.
A lack of regret and remorse for his offending was clear when he failed to turn up to his own trial, the court heard.

Less than an hour ago, I booked a dolphin swim package through your website. You have already confirmed my order with exactly what we wanted! I was really in a panic because when I tried to book directly through the Dolphin website, they said there was nothing available. I had read great things about your company on the on one of the popular message boards. I have to agree they are true! Thanks so much for your prompt service! I know this experience will be a great memory for my kids!

Just wanted to thank COZUMELINSIDER for getting us booked for our activities while we were in Cozumel. The dolphin swim was fantastic! I'd do it again in a minute. We didn't get to do the SNUBA diving ..... we ended up doing the Helmet dive instead for the same price. We plan on visiting Cozumel again possibly next year and will be contacting you to book some excursions prior to our vacation. We saved a significant amount of money booking the excursions through COZUMELINSIDER instead of the cruise line. Thanks again!
S.Forgette and G Wichtowski ~ Not Given
Hello, I want to let you know that I visit your website all the time! I love it, so much information. I used you as a resource when I came to Cozumel for the first time about 2 years ago. Although my soon-to-be wife was there before, I needed to do some of my own homework. As for her, she and I will be getting married on June 22 at Hotel Cozumel and we are both really excited about it. I am so happy that you are able to put this website together for people like us who love Cozumel and can't be there as much as we want to be. Thanks again!
John DeMaio ~ Milford, CT, USA
A big thanks to COZUMELINSIDER for all your help booking my two trips! The Eagle Ray 3 reef snorkel was fantastic! It was a small group tour of 8 people with very very great personal service. I highly recommend this tour to all. My other tour was a tour of a lifetime, the Whale shark tour with Gamma Experience It was really something being in the water with a 50-60 foot whale shark! A couple restaurants I highly recommend are La lobsteria and especially Tony Romes. I highly recommend Cozumelinsider to all in booking tours as they picked great small tour groups for me!

After Anderson Silva's UFC 162 Loss, Is Jon Jones Really The Best In The World?
UFC's Anderson Silva lost his middleweight championship to Chris Weidman in an epic upset, but when Silva dropped his hands and foolishly toyed with Weidman, "The Spider" lost something else far more difficult than the championship belt to gain back.
Silva lost the mythical title of best MMA pound-for-pound fighter in the world. In the UFC rankings, Silva dropped to No. 3, behind UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, respectively. Among fans, in true bandwagon fashion, suddenly "Silva was never really that good."
Like iTunes Top 10 downloads, Grammy winners and the Klitschko boxing brothers, pound-for-pound rankings are just kind of there. They don't really mean anything or shed any light on who the best really is.
Pound-for-pound lists shouldn't even be written down. Sure, we all like to wonder what would have happened if Muhammad Ali fought Mike Tyson. Or if Sugar Ray Robinson was better than Joe Louis. In MMA, fans wonder if Fedor Emelianenko was really the greatest heavyweight of all time. Could he have beaten Brock Lesnar? (duh, yes).
Now that Silva lost is St-Pierre really better than him? Pound-for-pound rankings have people debating such nonsense as whether UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, ranked No. 4, is better than UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, No. 6.
What do you think would happen if Velasquez got into the cage with Aldo? Velasquez would need a fly swatter and about 30 seconds. Pound-for-pound rankings are supposed to have us ponder questions like if Aldo was a heavyweight would he be better than Velasquez?
Actually, if Aldo was a heavyweight, he wouldn't be Aldo. There's no way he could glide around the cage or maintain the constant pressure that he does if he were 225 pounds.
Is UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson better than Velasquez just because Henderson is ranked No. 5?
What about Jones being No. 1? Does Bones Jones know that he's 6-foot-4 and should be fighting in the heavyweight division? Fighting as a light heavyweight, he's like the kid who's a foot taller than everyone else throughout school because his mommy and daddy held him back to give him an unfair advantage over everyone else in physical education and math class. (Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell). It's just not fair.
Who thinks Velasquez would fold up Jones like a lawn chair if the two stepped into the cage together?
When it comes to fighting, size matters. And so do styles. Weidman can knock out Silva, but would probably have an extremely difficult time with St-Pierre. Silva, however, would likely have the kind of style that would give GSP a lot of problems.
There is no pound-for-pound greatest fighter in the world. There are a lot of really good fighters and a just a few great fighters. On any given day, anybody can beat anybody. Anything can happen when two men or women step inside the cage (especially when one of them puts his hands down and dares the other one to hit him in the face).
