The Inaugural Post

Welcome to the Ferocious Gentlemen blog everyone! You may be asking yourself, what exactly is a Ferocious Gentleman? Well, slow your roll, because if I told you in the inaugural post, why would you ever come back? So for today, I'm going to hold back on the explanation and we'll move onto more important business. This blog will have a lot of talk dedicated to sports so let's get right to it.

Today has a lot of great athletic events to keep your eyes on, so I feel the need to shed some light on todays schedule. The three events that I'll be watching are all going to be extremely exciting and also are connected in a way...The Kentucky Derby starts off the action at 4:00 CT. My Kentucky Derby selection strategy is similar to how that random lady in the office, who knows nothing about sports, always wins the NCAA tournament bracket; pick the team with the coolest name. Seriously, I know you are all thinking of that random lady right now, still furious that she won. I feel your pain. But, back to the Derby. There were two horses name's that jumped out at me this year; I Want Revenge and Dunkirk. They both relate to the second great event of the evening; the Bulls vs Celtics game 7. If you missed the fight between Kirk Hinrich and Rajon Rondo in game 6, I posted it below, and it is a must-see. Who knew a white boy from Kansas could be so pugnacious?! For that reason I love Dunkirk (A shout out to Kirk Hinrich) and also I Want Revenge, because I think the Bulls are hungry and are ready to finish off the series. (Editor's Note: I Want Revenge scratched from the derby this morning.) I'm going to pick Dunkirk as my official horse to win the derby, but don't count on him to win the triple crown, like the Bulls win in triple overtime, there aren't THAT many connections.

Finally onto the last big event of the day, the Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton fight. It is supposed to be a great fight, but I have one suggestion. If you want to save 40 bucks and see a fight that could be even potentially better, just tune into Game 7; Bulls vs Celtics. The number of flagrant and technical fouls is increasing every game, so get ready for both teams to come out fighting and the losing team is going to go down swinging. Most likely in a literal sense.
Enjoy the action everyone.
