Sports Carnival Ecstasy - August 26, 2010

Welcome to the August 26, 2010 edition of Sports Carnival Ecstasy.This time around we have 40 article submissions for the carnival with some new blogs and some familiar ones. Michael Keneski starts this carnival with a number of daily fantasy baseball wrap-ups. I'm still in the top 3 in my league so I like to keep up-to-date with the posts. And also in baseball, NYSportsballs writes about the New Generation of Pitchers. And finally Matt Regaw breaks the hearts of Boston fans with his story on the Red Sox having no chance of making the playoffs. MB reflects of basketball free agent activity with his article on Life after Bosh for the Toronto fans. And we have three great articles on the NFL with the season just around the corner. Matt Regaw has a Preseason Preview. NYSportsballs breaks down why Tim Tebow is Not NFL Caliber. Something to do with a late release and a bad haircut. And Eric Gargiulo has his own Fantasy Football 2010 Preview. Hope you enjoy, bookmark, share, and come back next time.

Pinnacle presents Creating a Corporate Image posted at Pinnacle Plans blogs.

MB presents Gavin Floyd and xFIP « Toronto+ Sports Blog posted at Toronto+ Sports Blog, saying, "Someone in my fantasy league made a comment regarding Floyd’s terrible season and I commented “outside of a brutal BABIP and low strand rate, Gavin Floyd has essentially been the same pitcher” to which I was basically ridiculed. But as we can see from this chart, Gavin Floyd was and is the same pitcher and therein lays the beauty of advanced pitching metrics like FIP or xFIP and the use of the peripherals that help gather these stats (BABIP, strand rate, HR/FB etc)."

MB presents Life After Bosh posted at Toronto+ Sports Blog, saying, "Losing a player with the abilities and talents of Chris Bosh is a tough pill to swallow. Bosh was a gamer and a highly skilled player who was also fiercely competitive, his 24 ppg and 10 rpg is something you do not simply replace. Chris Bosh was a star player, and in the NBA that means a few things..."

MB presents Lebron Made Wrong ‘Decision’ « Toronto+ Sports Blog posted at Toronto+ Sports Blog, saying, "Why did I have trouble getting to sleep, was this really worth of all the fuss and attention, did I just get caught up in all of the hype created by ESPN? Whatever it was, it had the whole world captivated during a horribly produced, lacklustre and at times boring/awkward one hour special called simply “The Decision”."

It’s another thing to succumb to that label as easily as A.J. Burnett did this weekend. His behavior on Saturday was a clear indication that not only does he pitch with all-or-nothing results, but he also pitches with an all-or-nothing mentality. And the worst part is, he shows no signs of fighting to rid himself of this label. Instead of seeing this weekend as an opportunity to prove he can scratch and claw to keep his team in a game despite a bad start, Burnett let his emotions get the best of him."

For the previous decade, it’s been easy to get used to this idea, so long as the Patriots land on top. But there are winds of change afoot in the division. The Dolphins have an eclectic and complicated team, and the Jets are a defensive stonewall. The Patriots, however, are losing their iron grip on the situation, and the future looks a bit bleak for the Foxboro boys."

Chad Cunningham presents Franklin puts Liddell on ice; LayAndPray goes 3-2 on main card picks? posted at LayAndPray.

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC Fighters to WWE: Is It Likely? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "This past weekend, Chuck Liddell, one of the godfathers of mixed-martial arts in the United States, fought in what many experts are saying was his last match ever, one where he was knocked out by Rich Franklin. The Iceman, who is 40 years old, is said to be washed up, past his prime. Two weekends prior to that event, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, another huge star in American MMA, lost a decision to Rashad Evans. Although he’s only 30, his future is uncertain. All told, it hasn’t been a kind month for legends of the octagon."

Eric Gargiulo presents Randy Couture vs. James Toney Is a Disgrace posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Randy Couture vs. James Toney will co-headline UFC 118 in Boston.

Eric Gargiulo presents Kenny Florian Beats The Crap Out Of Danny Bonaduce posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Does anyone really need a reason to watch Danny Bonaduce get punched in the face? I know I don’t. Watch this video of UFC fighter Kenny Florian punching Danny Bonaduce in the face multiple times. Florian doesn’t hold back and unloads on the D-List celebrity. I guess Ken Flo wasn’t a big Partridge Family fan."

Eric Gargiulo presents EA Sports Live Broadcast Comes to EA MMA Game posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The hype for EA Sports MMA has been disappointing…until now. The EA Sports Live Broadcast mode may change everything. This is one feature that could change the way we play sports games online forever and give EA MMA that extra knockout punch."

You can watch UFC 113: Machida vs. Shogun II on Spike so we can all hear about how the UFC absolutely killed it in key demos and subsequently rub it in Strikeforce’s faces (despite the NOTICEABLE difference in reach and subscriber universe)."

Eric Gargiulo presents Fabricio Werdum beats Fedor Emelianenko and shocks the world posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "He is human after all. Fabricio Werdum tapped out Fedor Emelianenko and shocked the world at Strikeforce. The loss is the first loss in the career of Fedor Emelianenko and arguably the biggest upset in MMA history. Even more shocking is that the win came seconds into the fight via tap."

Eric Gargiulo presents Top Five Best Chuck Liddell Fights posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "It looks like we have seen the end of Chuck Liddell in the UFC. Both Dana White and Liddell's trainer have both said that they do not want to see the Iceman compete ever again in the cage. That said, I wanted to take a quick look back at some of Chuck Liddell's best fights."

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC 116 Preview: Lesnar-Carwin Anchors the UFC?s Fourth of July Weekend posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "On Saturday, July 3rd, the UFC holds their annual fourth of July weekend card, always a big draw in terms of PPV numbers. Like last year, Brock Lesnar remains the main attraction to which the company is pinning their hopes of high PPV buyrates. This card marks Lesnar’s return to the promotion following a reportedly life-threatening bout with diverticulitis. Indeed, many pundits felt that Lesnar might be done in the world of mixed martial arts – and indeed, any professional competition."
