COONEY'S THOUGHTS

Yo what up boxing fans. I have been busy cranking out good stuff for 8CountNews.com -Just in the past few weeks we broke the NJ Judging story (Lara Vs Williams) and were all over the Pacquiao Koncz VisionQwest story.

Look for big things from us at 8CountNews. We have some big things lined up and I can't wait to unleash them soon.

Vacation is coming up and I'm looking forward to spending some time with my God Daughters and family. I will spend a little time down on the Gulf of Mexico, and who knows where else.

BIG boxing news for Mississippi. 8CN announced today that former world champ Andre Berto will challenge Jan Zaveck for the IBF welterweight title in Biloxi on Sept 3rd. I'll be all over that one.

STALKER update - Yes, yes, yes good ole Geno. The slobbering hypocrite is still at it LOL. Dude goes to work at the jail, comes home, passes by his wife, pushes his son out of the way, sits down at his computer, and starts what he's been looking forward to allll day.... He writes stuff that he thinks bothers me. When I do check into RSR for my comedy needs...I must admit, some of what he writes makes me laugh.

When I head up to Boston this winter, hopefully I will find some time to run into Chicopee and perhaps good ole Geno and I can discuss some new material :-) Why do I have the feeling he won't be so brave? hmmm...we'll see. Hopeully :-)

3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JETER GOES YARD FOR 3000TH HIT

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter went 5 for 5 writing the perfect script for his 3000th hit. Jeter hit a towering Home Run that ended up in the seats marking his historic 3000th hit. Luck fan Christian Lopez got the ball and gave it back to Jeter for NOTHING. Well I say nothing, but trust me the Yankees organization are taking care of that fan.

Lopez will meet Jeter later on today, and he gets suite tickets for the rest of the season. Lopez also gets autographed bats and jersey's, and much more.

DEREK JETER!!!! DEREK JETER!!!!! DEREK JETER!!!! DEREK JETER!!!!!

DISGRACEFUL SO CALLED BOXING SITE PUBLISHES GARBAGE

Simple question.... The heart of boxing huh? Mr BBB, How are you the heart of boxing when you publish a headline - NAACP – CNN: “Where are the AFRICAN – AMERICAN and TOOTHLESS NEWSCASTERS? And you publish this trash right next to a tribute for George Kimball, a legendary boxing scribe. You should hide your head in the sand.

BOXING SCRIBE GEORGE KIMBALL PASSES

I had the honor of working with George Kimball at Boxingtalk.com - He and I chatted several times over the years and I spent some time with him in Memphis covering fights at the Fedex Forum.

Kimball was an incredible boxing writer. He will be sorely missed.

COONEY'S THOUGHTS

So Casey Anthony is found not guilty. I say, good call by the jurors. The prosecution in my opinion didn't come close to proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Do I think Casey did it? Yes! Do I think the system worked? Yes.
Everybody hates a defense attorney until they need one themselves.

STALKED - I'm still being stalked by the Managing Editor of a boxing website. How he has the time with two kids and a wife to sit at his computer and write hours and hours of stupidty is beyond me. Obviously the time this creep puts into me could be spent with his children instead, no? WOW. The good news is that when people visit his site, they come away with, "WTF is that stupid idiotic article about??" And in many cases don't return lol. Oh and by the way I deliberately post the links for my 2000 FB followers to read them. I want as many folks as possible to see how stupid a 36 year old man looks when he behaves like an 11 yr old kid.

I will be going on Vacation on the 18th of July. I haven't decided where to yet, but possibly down to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Congrats to Darren Barcomb, our new managing editor at 8CountNews. The site is really coming together, and with only being 2.5 years old, I am very happy with our progress.

Congrats to our newest major league writer Keith Terceira. Keith was one of the founders of Boxingscene.com - I am extremely happy to have him on board.
