COONEY'S THOUGHTS

It's been a great week. 8CN has been upgraded, and our rankings are already climbing rapidly. Look for big interviews with fighters in both boxing and MMA. We also will be covering some news stories outside of the ring from time to time.

At 8CN we make a promise to our readers that we will not publish some of the garbage you may see on other sites. We bring you facts with sources to back up the story. We will provide you with Podcast interviews so that you, the listeners, and readers can hear verbatim what our guests have to say.

Personally, things in my life are terrific. I had a great trip up to New England visiting my family. Now that I'm back in Mississippi, I have dedicated myself to getting in better physical condition. I am on a 6 day per week cardio program. This has paid off tremendously. I've already lost 22 pounds. With some love and encouragement from my two Angels, Lanvy and Bebe, the process of losing weight has been easier.

I had a chance to meet with the President of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre. I had a lengthy conversation with him and discussed what our current President is doing regarding our 2nd amendment. Wayne is very worried what will happen if Obama is re-elected. I fully support Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. I voted for Obama in 2008, and regret that vote to this day. Our country is in a mess, and the current President isn't doing a thing to improve it. I really enjoyed the primary season because I was able to meet all of the top candidates. I met Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney. It was pretty cool being a part of the process like that. Each candidate gave inspiring and informative speeches. Romney wasn't my favorite of the three, but he's got the nominee, so he's who I am supporting.

That's really all that's on my mind this morning. God Bless all of you.
