Posted: 29 Aug 2010 12:31 PM PDT

The President of the country found the ground beneath his feet shaky with the new development as he is the patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board too and needed answers from his subordinates. Gillani the PM was heard declaring it as the national shame and the guilty of the Test Cricket's intentional no-ball in London are to be questioned by the Sport's Ministry.

Antonio BryantAntonio Bryant after struggling with a knee surgery gets in a $28 million deal, but is guaranteed with only under $8 Million. Bryant was in a huge discomfort at the in minicamp and training camp, and couldn't play at all for his team Cincinnati Bengals. The big news is that Cincinnati Bengals have replaced Bryant for the time with Terrell Owens.

Bryant had been having problems about his knee injury since he replaced Terrell Owens in March. Also, the Bengals had to give more safety over Gibril Wilson who got his left knee damaged.

Now the Bengals are at severe state of tension with 77 players presently and need to make two more cuts to move down to 75 on the Tuesday.

Colin Montgomerie Gets an Aid at the Ryder Cup

Posted: 29 Aug 2010 11:44 AM PDT

Colin Montgomerie will be having Rhys Davies as his unofficial sidekick at the Ryder Cup in October. Davies was hopeful of making it to the team this time.
“I think it was important the Welsh had some representation out on that course during the week,” said Montgomerie.

“He will be my personal buggy driver. Rhys is a Ryder Cup player of the future – the very near future. He is the guy with the $1m putting stroke.”

The 25 yr old golfer had unfortunately been left out on the European wildcard. Since the Hassan II Championship there has been a noticeable slip in his game. That might explain his obvious exemption from the European wildcard. Davies may not get to start his full season as expected after all.

European captain Colin Montgomerie has asked Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald and Edoardo Molinari to assist Peter Hanson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Ross Fisher, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Francesco Molinari. Sergio Garcia has been allotted the post of 4th vice-captain by him.

The Ryder Cup in Newport’s Celtic Manor will be played from October 1st to 3rd.

Ufc 118 results: Results Shock Everyone: Randy Couture Made James Toney Look Like A Foolish Cartoon Lying on The Floor In THE Fight.

UFC 118

UFC 118

UFC 118 results are out now. All the results of UFC 118 today were completely shocking and beyond the imaginationation of everyone including UFC fans also. All the UFC 118 results gave a shock to everyone today.

Firs of all the UFC 118 result that gave shock to everyone is regarding Marcus David. At UFC 118 fight Marcus Davis lost and he was looking like a kid who has been beaten atrociously by someone.

After Marcus Davis Kenny Florian who is normally deemed a big beast also got pummeled in his fight. He too tasted a thrashing defeat against Gray Maynard.

This is nothing so far. Today during UCFC 118 fight that took place between Legendry BJ Penn Vs Frankie Edgar also shocked everyone. Frankie Edgar made BJ Penn look like a small child who is learning the art of walking at his own. He too lost his fight to Frankie Edgar.

But besides all these surprises there was at least one fight in which there was nothing surprising. This fight took place between Randy Couture and James Toney.

Before the fight Toney talked too much trash. But he could not do anything except trash talk in the fight also. I think James Toney needs to understand that a fight is won by fighting not by talking trash or by beating about the bush.

When the fight started everything that James Toney said before the fight turned out to be wrong. Right from the word in fight James Toney was taken down seriously. Toney was given furious punches. Somehow James Toney managed to escape.

Moreover his counterpart was relying on all the dimensions of the game instead of one dimension like Toney. Due to lack of gumption James Toney made everyone feel that he is good for nothing in UFC 118 Fights.

Despite this he deserves some credit for joining MMA. I think he decided to join MMA for proving that boxing is better than MMA and boxers can also be considered as fighters.

But I think someone should make him understand that "My dear James Toney boxers are for boxing and they box only. Moreover, Boxers do not consider themselves fighters because they show their boxing skills inside the ring in big fights instead of showing them on the road like you."

All in all James Toney looked like a foolish cartoon lying on the floor of the ring during the UFC 118 fight. Moreover, I am damn sure about one thing at least now that he must have learnt a lesson that if you are playing a game at such a high-level so you must perfect all the dimensions of the game. I am sure that next time he will definitely learn all the arts related to the game that he ignored this time.

So in the end I congratulate all the winners of the UFC 118 fights today on the behalf of all the DLN staff. All the Fans can watch UFC 118 fight videos by clicking on the link given below.

Edward Lewis – AHN Sports Reporter

Joliet, IL, United States (AHN) – Ryan Briscoe scored his third consecutive pole at Chicagoland Speedway Friday for Saturday’s Peak Antifreeze & Motor Oil Indy 300.

Briscoe, who tallied his third pole of the season, tallied a two-lap average of 216.346 mph and Dario Franchitti will start on the outside of the front row.

“The car today was just spot on. I didn’t want to be overconfident but I was thinking after that run, man, that’s gotta be hard to beat. I knew we were fully trimmed out and the car felt really solid. It was a great qualifying run today and I’m just really hoping that we can follow through tomorrow and have another good race,” said Briscoe.

“We’ve been strong here the last couple of years and I really enjoy racing around here. It’s always exciting. It’s a completely wide track that’s really smooth. It’s got smooth transitions off the banking corners. It really promotes good racing so I always get excited to come back here.”

Will Power, who has a 59-point cushion over Franchitti, averaged 215.521 mph and will toll off alongside Team Penske teammate Helio Castroneves (215.475) on Row 2.

Marco Andretti will start fifth, while Danica Patrick (12th) was the highest qualifier of the record-tying five females in the 29-car field.

“I think we hit the set up on the Venom car about as good as we were going to for qualifying today. We can’t expect much more than that as far as our speed, but I’m optimistic for the race,” said Andretti. “It’s always different when you’re on the racetrack with 28 other cars but I think it can be done from fifth. Hopefully we can back that up tomorrow night.”

Edward Lewis – AHN Sports Reporter

Joliet, IL, United States (AHN) – There have been tons of different winners in the ARCA Racing Series this season, but Patrick Sheltra is the only one on a roll.

The Florida driver tallied his second consecutive win Friday night and the third of his career when he captured the Ansell Protective Gloves 150 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Sheltra topped fellow back-to-back winner Steve Arpin by 1.669 seconds and became the second driver with multiple and back-to-back victories this season in ARCA.

“I cannot thank everyone at Sheltra Motorsports enough,” said Sheltra, who had NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver David Gilliland as his driver coach. “We had a great car. We opted not to come out and test here (last week) and obviously, it did not hold us back.”

“I can’t thank everyone enough. We’re on fire right now and we don’t plan to let the flame die anytime soon.”

The 24-year-old Sheltra led 85 of 100 laps at Chicagoland less than a week after scoring a win at Illinois State Fairgrounds

Arpin edged Grant Enfinger for runner-up honors and was followed by Frank Kimmel and Craig Goess in the top five. Justin Marks held off Tom Hessert for sixth place.

Joey Coulter ran eighth and was followed by Bobby Gerhart and Bryan Silas.

Posted: 29 Aug 2010 06:37 AM PDT

Edward Lewis – AHN Sports Reporter

Joliet, IL, United States (AHN) – Kyle Busch simply just wins races.

A week after pulling off the unprecedented trifecta at Bristol, Busch held off points leader Todd Bodine in a final green-white-checker finish to win Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Chicagoland Speedway.

Busch, racing on an off-week for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, passed Bodine with under 20 laps to go and then had to fend off Bodine via the green-white-checker finish, which was brought out when Timothy Peters lost an engine.

“The guys did a nice job on pit road,” said Busch. “The Toyota Tundra was awesome. It was challenging with Todd. It’s always fun to race these trucks.”

Bodine added to his points lead (236) on Aric Almirola, but settled for runner-up honors and was followed across the finish line by Ron Hornaday Jr., Johnny Sauter and Justin Lofton.

Busch edged Bodine in a 1-2 finish for the ninth time in his career and also logged his career 20th win in the series, tying Bodine for fourth all-time in series wins. The only place Bodine has beaten Busch in a 1-2 finish is as Daytona.

“Second stinks,” said Bodine. “We had a great Toyota Tundra. It was a good night. I built the points lead back up to where it was before Bristol.”

It was Busch’s 79th career win in NASCAR’s three top touring series.

The top-10 finishers were rounded out by Matt Crafton, Austin Dillon, Mike Skinner, David Starr and Justin Lofton.

Stephanie Sims – AHN Entertainment Reporter

New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Fashion Week is coming up fast, but until September 9, the U.S. Open is the big event in New York City. And some of fashion’s biggest names are getting involved.

Various celebrities, including supermodel Bar Refaeli, were at Nike’s Primetime Knockout tennis event to celebrate the season’s final Grand Slam tournament by pairing the athletes with local youth during an exhibition match in New York.

Refaeli took some time to participate in the event before gearing up for New York fashion week, set to start on September 9.

In preparation for the event, Bar honed her game back in Israel with her trainer. She reportedly wasn’t as good as Maria Sharapova, but it seems that no one really noticed her tennis technique; people more noticed her tennis skirt.

Bar Refaeli, among other celebrities, played a few tennis matches for the Nike Tennis Event for the U.S. Open. Also at the event were actor Bradley Cooper, New York Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck, and tennis stars Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal.
