Forbes.com Top 10 Tailgating Towns in America
With the football season right on top of us, it's time to get those grills out, the satellite dusted off, and the easy up out of storage. It's tailgating time, NFL style. Here is a list of the top 10 tailgating towns in america.
I am not 100% sure how they did this, but they did. Picking the top 10 tailgating towns across the US is not an easy task. All venue's have reasonable tailgating. The judgments game down from the Commissioner of Tailgating, Joe Cahn.
“Tailgating is the only gathering place of a community of its kind, like walking through thousands of backyards. It’s where the happy people are,” Cahn says. “Tailgating creates the perfect American neighborhood.” Having spent 13 NFL seasons on the road, Commissioner Cahn knows firsthand what’s necessary to create a fantastic tailgating scene.
“Parking space, tradition, and family are three of the top four ingredients,” Cahn says. “The first two are obvious. Family is a lot [also] – especially for kids, because sports is the only thing where a kid can argue toe-to-toe with an adult and get away with it." The 4th main ingredient is food. Personally this is my favorite part.
Without further ado, here is the list of the top 10 tailgating towns as posted by Forbes.com

10 - The Buffalo Bills, Ralph Wilson Stadium
9 - The Denver Broncos, INVESCO Field
8 - The New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium
7 - The Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field
6 - The Houston Texans, Reliant Stadium
5 - The Kansas City Chiefs, Arrowhead Stadium
4 - The Miami Dolphins, Sun Life Stadium
3 - The Oakland Raiders, Oakland-Alameda Coliseum Stadium
2 - The Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field
1 - The San Diego Chargers Qualcomm Stadium
I am biased so I am 100% behind this list. The Q in San Diego has the year round sunshine, a huge parking lot, and plenty of space to tailgate. It also helps that the police are very friendly as well. Check out a Chargers game if you get a chance, I always post up in F4.
NFL Week 1 Game of The Week – Vikings vs Saints – Commentary – Ticket Info
The NFL season is just about upon us, and unless you have been living under a rock you are aware of this fact. I, personally, am fired up. American football is, in this writers opinion, the greatest sport in the entire world. No other sport takes the combination of strength, speed, agility, toughness and most of all, intelligence. The NFL is like a giant ballet for 300 lb men, and America eats up every minute of it.
What's more exciting than the start of the NFL season? The start of the NFL season beginning with a rematch of last years NFC title game. Drew Bress and Brett Favre on the same field one more time to duke it out for the inside track on home field advantage. I have heard all the "experts" talking about how the Saints won't be able to repeat, or that the Vikings won't make the playoffs, but I am here to tell you that is all nonsense. Both of these teams will absolutely be in the playoffs and both will have a real shot at getting back to the Super Bowl.
Personally, I am tired of all the nay-sayers talking about how there is no way Brett Favre has as good of a season as he had last year. Brett doesn't have to have as good of a season as he had last year. The team just needs him to manage the game. The defense is still just as good, if not better, the offense still has Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin, and the Vikings are dangerous.
Same with the Saints. I am hearing all this talk about how many breaks the Saints got last year in the turn over department, and how they weren't as good as they showed on the field. Blah, blah, blah. They won the Super Bowl "experts." If they had to get lucky all season to do that, which would be freakin' impossible, they were the luckiest team in the history of the NFL.
OK, I am off my soap box now. Anyway you slice or dice it, this is going to be an exciting match up. New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings at the Super Dome. Of course you are going to need a ticket to get in.

Will Chael Sonnen Get an Immediate Rematch With Anderson Silva? Dana White Confirms the Fight
According to a report published on MMAJunkie.com, Chael Sonnen will get an immediate rematch with Anderson Silva. UFC president Dana White, confirmed the plans while on ESPN's "SportsCenter" today, though a date has not been determined for the rematch. It is thought that the match will take place later this year or early 2011.
Immediately after the fight Dana White was quoted as saying "It's definitely a rematch I think people are going to want to see. Looking at Twitter, everybody is saying, 'Rematch. Rematch.' We'll see what happens. Vitor is waiting to fight right now, too. We could do the rematch with Chael, but we'll see what happens. We'll see how it goes."
Much to the chagrin of Ed Soares, Silva's trainer, who said "Why would he deserve a rematch? Sonnen lost," Sonnen will get another shot. This is the right thing to do. If the UFC does anything well, it's getting what the fans want in a timely fashion.
The thought of Belfort getting a title shot is ridiculous. Vitor Belfort has had 1 fight at middle weight in the last 4 years, and that fight did not even take place in the UFC. That is not title shot worthy.
On top of Vitor's "non" resume for a title shot, not having an immediate rematch would mean risking one or both fighters losing inbetween and taking most, if not all of the shine off this great fight. The UFC knows this, that is why the rematch is happening so soon.
According to Silva's camp, he was injured and wasn't able to train like he wanted to. This is a great opportunity to prove that point. For Sonnen this will be a chance to finish the job he executed so masterfully for 98% of the the first fight.
The hype behind this fight will be unbelievable. This will be the first UFC can't miss event that doesn't involve Brock Lesnar. Cheers to the Dana White and the Ultimate Fighting Championship for getting this right.

Without further ado, here are the 2010 NFL Super Bowl Odds as posted by our good friends at the Golden Nugget hotel in Las Vegas. Of course I have added my comments, it wouldn't be a good blog without some reaction.
#1 Indianapolis Colts at 13/2 - With Peyton Manning at the helm your odds are always good. The question this year will be whether the running game can step up to take pressure off of the passing game and will Peyton be able to break through a second time in the playoffs (his career playoff record is roughly .500).
#2 Dallas Cowboys at 8/1 - I am not sure why, but they seem to be getting a little to much hype this year. I liked them better when they were flying under the radar a little bit. They definitely have the talent to go all the way, the question is, can Tony Romo get it done in January? Can Wade Phillips prove that he is a legitimate threat as a head coach.
#3 New Orleans Saints at 8/1 - Last years champs look strong again this year. Sean Payton is a flat out stud coach, Drew Brees is a flat out stub QB, that combination usually makes for a successful season. As always though, it is especially tough to repeat when you have been getting patted on the back so much in the off season. No matter how much they deny it, it will effect them. They got some breaks last year to get that title, and with the NFL as strong as it is right now, they will need to get even more to get it done again.
#4 San Diego Chargers at 17/2 - Once again they appear ready to go on another regular season tear. The question as always, can they get it done in the playoffs? They haven't been able to yet, and P Riv won't get the credit he deserves until they do. Ryan Mathews looks to be a beast this preseason. The defense is looking better than ever, Larry English might prove to be the sleeper in last years draft. If the D can fold up against the run, and Cason can fill the whole left by Cromartie, then the Chargers are my favorite to get to the Super Bowl this year.
#5 New England Patriots at 9/1 - Tom Brady is 1 full season removed from a catastrophic knee injury and is looking good in the preseason. They question on this team will be whether their relatively young linebacking core and step up.
#6 Green Bay Packers at 10/1 - Aaron Rogers is a dude, Clay Matthews was the steal of the draft last year. The O looks polished, the D looks fierce. Madden picked them to go all the way. Can they make it happen?
#7 Minnesota Minnesota Vikings at 10/1 - Brett Favre is back! I for one am shocked (<--major sarcasm). Either way, he makes them a better team. If he plays even close to the level he did last year and Adrian Peterson can stop fumbling, I like them as the favorites. Those are big questions though, the loss of Sidney Rice for half the season will not help either.
#8 N.Y. Jets New York Jets at 12/1 - Wow, the hype machine is out of control this year. I like their team, and they have one of the best D's in the NFL, but in today's NFL QB's are a lot more important than defense. El Sanchito aka The Sanchize is looking to have taken a step back in preseason. If he can turn it around, Revis or no, they are going to be a very dangerous team.
#9 Baltimore Ravens at 14/1 - Joe Flacco is looking great this preason and has tons of weapons to get the job done. Madden loves them to get to the Super Bowl too. Can their aging defense hold up for the length of the season? That will be the question. While they do have tons of offensive fire power, they are not going to outscore the highest flying teams like the Colts at the Chargers if it comes down to that.
#10 N.Y. Giants New York Giants at 15/1 - Where oh where is Plax when they need him? Oh ya, he is in the clink. Love Steve Smith. Brandon Jacobs is showing signs of wear and tear. Can Bradshaw carry the running game? Can the D be a lot better than last season? #10 odds to win the Super Bowl seems a little high to me.
#11 Pittsburgh Steelers at 20/1 - With Big Ben out, it looks like they will go with Byron Leftwich. I am going on record as saying Dennis Dixon is the answer not the slow footed, long deliveried Leftwich. Dixon may not have as much experience but he is far more dynamic. Those first 4 games will be crucial to any playoff run. Beyond that, the question will be, can Troy Polamalu stay healthy. They are a completely different team with him on the field. These odds seem low to me, if they can get through those first 4 games, they will be dangerous.
#12 Atlanta Falcons at 22/1 - They question for this team will be whether Matt Ryan can get back to his rookie season form, and will Michael Turner be able to reclaim some of his glory from 2 season ago? They were close last year, but couldn't quite get over the hump. These odds seem high to me.
#13 Cincinnati Bengals at 25/1 - There are media members that think that Carson Palmer is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, I am not one of the people. Ever since that knee injury so many years ago, he has not been the same guy. Are TO and Ochocinco washed up? The Bengals certainly hope not, I am in the camp that they have something left. Although they certainly didn't do anything to disprove that the second half of last season. Ochocinco had 1 100 yd receiving game in the last 10 games of last year, and only 1 TD. If that happens this year, the Bengals will be in trouble.
#14 Tennessee Titans at 25/1 - CJY2000 (or Chris Johnson) is poised and ready to break the all time NFL rushing record. If Vince Young can be decent this year, and the defense can get off the field, it is going to happen. Does that mean they will win the Super Bowl? Probably not, but that does mean they will be totally exciting. I know I will be pulling for him.
#15 Washington Redskins at 28/1 - Haynesworth is a cancer on that team, he is tearing it apart. McNabb is a nice fit there, the offensive line needs work though and without that unit playing better, it doesn't matter who plays QB.
#16 Philadelphia Eagles at 30/1 - Kevin Kolb is poised and ready to replace McNabb. Will he make them forget? Heaven knows he will get the opportunity. Did you know the Eagles threw the ball more than 70% of the time the last 3 seasons. More than anyone in the NFL. He better be good.
#17 Chicago Bears at 30/1 - Jay Cutler better produce, 2 first round draft picks to Denver is starting to look like a steal. This season will tell the tail. Matt Forte needs to stay healthy and step up again this season. Urlacher is hurt again, and appears to be in the twilight of his career. They will need some career years to get to the Bowl this year.
#18 Miami Dolphins at 30/1 - The defense is looking very strong. Their coach is elite, and Chad Henne is growing into the roll of team leader. #18 on this list seems to low to me. If Ronnie Brown can stay healthy and Chad Henne takes a step forward they will make some waves in the AFC East.
#19 Houston Texnas at 30/1 - Can Matt Shaub stay healthy? That is the million dollar question. He hasn't been able to his whole career. Andre Johnson is the best there is. Has there ever been a receiver with his physical gifts? He is unbelievable. The D will take a step back with out Cushing on the field. The Texans are hoping he doesn't "over train" while on his "break" away from the team. They can't afford to lose him for the entire year.
#20 San Francisco 49ers at 40/1 - The difference between elite teams and being in the bottom 3rd in the NFL? Quarterback play. Will Alex Smith step up this year? If so, the 49ers will be dangerous and will have a real shot at winning a down and out NFC West.
#21 Seattle Seahawks at 50/1 - Pete "I had no idea Reggie was making 100's of thousands of $$'s" Carroll, takes his act to a place where it is legal to pay his players. I am told he is relieved because he doesn't have to "not know about paying players" any more. In all seriousness, Pete has really made some nice moves this off season, and the Hawks will be a few breaks away from winning the NFC West. Rumor has it that Vincent Jackson is talking long term deal. If they can get that done along with a trade from the Chargers, they would be significantly better than in 2010.
#22 Denver Broncos at 50/1 - Some people think Tim Tebow will be a good NFL QB because of his intangibles. I am not one of those people. Intangibles do not win games at the NFL level. Denver is going to need a lot of help to make the AFC West interesting. Of course no one thought they would make noise last year, and look what happened.
#23 Jacksonville Jaguars at 50/1 - Everyone is ready for Garrard to take a step forward as the Jacksonville QB. MJD needs some help. So does a porous defense. Looks like it might be another long season in Jaguar country.
#24 Carolina Panthers at 50/1 - Is Matt Moore simply keeping the seat warm for Jimmy Clausen? If he is, and Clausen takes over this season, they are going to be way out of the playoff picture. Moore along with Carolina fans certainly hope that won't happen. Will the loss of Julius Pepper hurt the D? Probably, but he was getting old, and it was the right thing to do to get rid of him. There is always issues with players and their 3rd contract. They know it is their last one and usually they play like it.
#25 Arizona Cardinals at 50/1 - Larry Fitzgerald and the entire Cardinals organization need to get on a plane and go see Kurt Warner about playing. Bust out the check book, cause Leinart is about to carry his gas can onto the field and burn down the whole season. Ken Wisenhunt knows it, the players know it, and the fans know it too.
#26 Cleveland Browns at 80/1 - Jake Delhomme is taking the reigns of a team and a city that desperately needs some leadership and consistency at the QB position. They have not had anything even resembling that since they team re emerged in the 2000 season.
#27 Kansas City Chiefs at 100/1 - Was Matt Cassell worth the money or are Randy Moss and Wes Welker that good? We will know this season. Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel will help immensly, they still have a year or 2 before they will be contenders again though.
#28 Detroit Lions at 100/1 - Things are finally looking up in the motor city. They have drafted well, and signed some difference makers. In my opinion, they will be MUCH better than the 2 wins they mustered last year. I am going to say it 5 wins for the Lions. I would go more, but that division is a beast.
#29 Oakland Raiders at 100/1 - Lets get one thing straight, Jason Campbell is not Stabler. The notion is hilarious and an insult to Stabler. Campbell has never won anything, he is hoping that changes this year. I will give them credit for a solid draft this year, and Richard Seymore is still a beast. However, they pay way to much money to a punter, a field goal kicker and a corner back. They take up more than 25% of their payroll, that is the stat of the year to be sure.
#30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 100/1 - Ever since Jon Gruden left they have been bad. Will this year be any different? Tampa is hoping so, prospects are not looking bright though.
#31 Buffalo Bills at 120/1 - They should be in last place, period. Rumor has it that Chan Galey kicked some teenagers out of practice for heckling Trent Edwards. That is obsurd. Fans should / need to tell this franchise whats wrong. Ownership certainly can't figure it out. They have taken one of the jewels of the NFL and turned them into slop. I hope I am wrong.
#32 St. Louis Rams at 150/1 - Can a QB that has injury problems going all the way back to college stay healthy in the NFL with no offensive line? We will find out this year. Could be an expensive experiment at $68 million.

UFC 121 at the Honda Center – Lesar vs Velasquez Break Down – On Sale & Presale Ticket Information
Ever since this fight was announced I have been pumped. In what used to be the red headed step child of mixed martial arts, the heavy weight division has emerged as one of it's best. In his just his 7th mma fight, Brock Lesnar will defend his belt for the 2nd time against his toughest competition yet, Cain Velasquez. What makes this fight so special? Lets break it down.
Brock Lesnar is the most popular fighter in the UFC, that is a fact. Love him or hate him, nobody draws more eyeballs to the boob tube than the former WWE World Champion. Underneath his popularity lies a beast of a human being. At 6' 4" tall and weighing in at 275 lbs on weigh in day, Lesnar has the best combination of strength, agility, and size of any athlete that has ever stepped foot into the octagon. Whereas most fighters would suffer from the kind of size Lesnar has, he does not. He seems to move like a cat for a man of his size, and his opponents are all to aware of it.
So does size, strength and speed always win out? So far so good from Brock's perspective. His rare combination of these 3 attributes have allowed him to only go the distance one time in his career. Lesnar has leaned on freakish size, strength and world class wrestling skills to get past every opponent this side of Frank Mir in his 2nd fight. To date, nobody has been able to match up with Brock's exceptional skill set and will to win.
Make no mistake, his last win over Carwin was his most impressive, it was pure guts. Having been nearly stopped in the first round, Lesnar reached down deep and found something extra to choke out the gassed out Carwin in the second round and retain his heavy weight belt, in what turned out to be his toughest test to date.
So, what beats a guy like Brock Lesnar? Perhaps it will be Cain Velasquez. Checking in at 6' 2 and 250 lbs, he might be the "Next Big Thing's" kryptonite. If there is one thing that Cain posesses a clear advantage over Lesnar it is his cardio. Cain is a cardio machine. Stories of the man's workouts are becoming stuff of legend. What started off as a whispers in a gym have become full blown shouts as every training partner, opponent and coach say this same thing, Cain simply will not get tired. Ever since he was the team mate of Ryan Bader on the highly touted Arizona Sun Devil's wrestling team one thing remains a constant, Cain will run you out of the gym. Add that on top of his improved striking skills, and under rated submission game and you have a complete fighter that is in his early 20's and is out for blood. Pro wrestling blood.
Who do I like in this fight? I like Lesnar to retain his belt. I will go with a stoppage in the 3rd round. His size and skills, alluded to earlier in this blog, are simply to much for the undersized Velasquez. While Cain's cardio is impressive, I think it will be to tall a task at his size to take Lesnar out and become the new UFC Heavy Weight champion. Can I see it the other way? Of course, thats what makes this fight so good. What do you think?
UFC 121 - Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez on October 23rd at Honda Center is having a presale tomorrow morning for this highly anticipated event in Orange County, CA. In order to get a hold of the presale password you have to be a UFC fight club member and can sign up on their website. The regular on sale will start on Saturday morning at 10am.

Disney On Ice: Toy Story 3 – Presale Password
Have you heard the "Buzz"?? The summers biggest hit, Toy Story 3, will be coming as a live action show to your town soon! See Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie Rex, the Potato Heads and the rest of the gang up close and personal in Disney on Ice Toy Story 3! Watch as the group gets introduced to a new crop of toys at the Sunny Side Day Care, including Lot's O Huggin' Bear, Stretch and many more. The team will take on a series of hilarious hi jinks including the requests of some unruly children. Root them on as the gang takes on the mission of finding their way back to Andy's house, resulting in a comical reporgramming of Buzz into a smooth talking spanish robot named Don Juan. Check out Buzz battle it out with Emperor Zerg; watch Woody, Jessie and bullseye on the set of Woody's Round-Up; and catch the thigh slapping antics of Slinky Dog, Hamm, Rex, Barbie and crowd favorites Mr and Mrs Potato Head as they do what they do best.
