 Fernando Valenzuela:ESPN is 30 to 30 documentary series moves right along with Fernando Nation, “directed by Cruz Angeles, was born in Mexico and raised in South Central Los Angeles who now lives in Brooklyn, New York. Although it is not only a portrait of the rapid growth Fernando Valenzuela, the top in 1981, is perhaps the first document of the social conditions of Latin American community during this time.

Angeles first discusses the plight of the residents of Chavez Ravine to the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. “You can not talk about the Fernando-Mania, not to mention Chavez Ravine,” said Angeles. In an interview with Dolores Huerta, vice president emeritus United Farm Workers of America, J. Gerardo Lopez La opinions and other public figures, Angeles, delves into the painful Latin community in Los Angeles felt when thinking about the Dodgers and the Dodgers as a matter of fact only for white fans.

With Walter O’Malley knowing the potential money to be made of the Latin American community, he always wanted to find “Mexican Sandy Koufax.” Unfortunately, he would never see one in my life, but thanks to scout Mike Brito, they finally got one in Fernando Valenzuela.

And, unfortunately, at this point, where the documentary leaves tracks.

Yes, it’s great to get a taste of Valenzuela 8-0 start in 1981 thanks to a longtime fan Paul Haddad identifies the radio this year. But it was obvious that the 50-minute limit really a documentary of injustice.

All events prior to 1981 was very well laid out allows the viewer to easily digest the scene. But then the movie starts to go at breakneck speed, making it difficult for baseball fans simply enjoy the feat Valenzuela did. And then, perhaps the biggest, most egregious sin of all was done.

For the only non-Valenzuela in a bitter 29 June 1990, instead of using a big challenge Vin Scully moment (“Give you a sombrero in the air”) call ESPN out of the game was used.

Angeles did regret what he had to cut Bobby Castillo Valenzuela teaching psycho. Of course, it was an omission Valenzuela reluctance to step onto the Dodger Stadium until 2003, when he was persuaded to join the Dodgers Spanish-language broadcasting.

Despite its faults and shortcomings, “Fernando of the nation” continues to look strong for everyone.

Diego Sanche UFC

Sponsored Links

Many MMA fans were writing off Diego Sanchez as he stepped into the cage against Paulo Thiago at UFC 121. It wasn't pretty in the first round as Thiago did much better work but Sanchez set such a hard pace that by the end of the round you could see Thiago fading.

In the second round Diego got the takedown and really dominated from top, landing a lot of punches and elbows and simply outworking Thiago. Suddenly the world was being reminded that Sanchez is the much more accomplished grappler. In the third Diego got the takedown, took the back and did damage from the position including locking in a nasty body triangle. Thiago gave up the mount, got pounded on more and then turned back over. It was complete domination by Diego in the round.

The judges scored the bout 30-26, 29-28 and 29-28 for Sanchez.

Prior to the fight Diego said win or lose he'd be dropping back down to 155 pounds but he looked so good tonight that we'll just have to see if he follows through.

Chandra Levy

WASHINGTON – If a person is associated with the mysterious death of Washington intern Chandra Levy, who is not the man who will soon be tried on charges that he murdered. He is a former California congressman Gary Condit, whose career imploded after he was linked romantically to the woman and became the No. 1 suspect.

Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, is on trial on Monday for 2001 Levy’s killing. However, even a national consciousness about the case, which dominated news coverage until t*rror*sm September 11, 2001, attacks that represents an afterthought.

Although police do not believe Condit had nothing to do with Levy’s death, his presence will hang over the trial. Condit spokesman, Bert Fields, said Condit waiting to be called as a witness at trial Guandique, but has not been cited.

Campos said Condit will fully cooperate with the authorities. However, the former congressman, who is writing a book about his experience, would not comment on the trial until the end.

Bill Miller, a prosecution spokesman, declined to comment on the case and whether Condit will be called as a witness, citing a court order issued earlier this month.

Defense attorneys are also subject to the gag order. But when Guandique was charged in 2009 with the murder of Levy, criticized what they saw as a botched investigation. Guandique escaped scrutiny largely because of the frenzy around Condit. The former congressman has never admitted an affair, but said he was a friend of Levy, but the inmate had told relatives of the two had a romantic relationship.

“This research flawed, marked by the many mistakes and missteps of the Metropolitan Police Department and all federal agencies that have tried to resolve this case will not end with the simple issue of a warrant of arrest against Mr. Guandique,” told lawyers, Santha Sonenberg and Hawilo Mary.

In a pretrial hearing Thursday, Sonenberg said police were so desperate for a confession of Guandique to bolster their case that in 2004 and 2005, the police tried to establish a correspondence with false Guandique while in prison serving a sentence of 10 years, using the pseudonym “Mary Smith.” The ruse did not work.

“It’s going to the class clown, the kind of mischief, the lengths they have gone to pursue Mr. Guandique,” Sonenberg said.

The then U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor acknowledged the case had no DNA or physical evidence linking Guandique Levy. And Guandique never confessed to the police – in fact, passed a lie detector test denying involvement in Levy’s disappearance, but prosecutors now question the validity of that test.

But Taylor cited substantial circumstantial evidence, including confessions allegedly made numerous Guandique to other inmates. Levy and the body was found in a wooded section of Rock Creek Park City, where Guandique was convicted of assaulting two other young women in 2001.

In a pretrial hearing last month, U.S. Assistant Attorney Amanda Haines said Guandique has a “signature style confession.” She said that Levy had discussed killing many people, giving each person markedly different details.

If jurors believe these confessions will be key. The defense wants to present expert testimony of a university professor about the dangers of the accounts of prison informers. But prosecutors say the jurors should be able to judge the credibility of the witnesses themselves. Superior Court Judge Gerald I. Fisher says itwill not allow the great majority of the testimonies given by the teacher.

As for Condit, exactly what role he will play in court is unclear. Defense attorneys might be tempted to remind the jurors that the police suspect Condit for so long, said attorney George Jackson, a Chicago-based attorney with the law firm of Polsinelli Shughart and a former federal prosecutor.

Jackson said the defense will have to be careful because jurors feel discouraged if the lawyers are trying to make an innocent man as a scapegoat. And the government will surely be ready to deal with suggestions that Condit was involved. But because Condit is so closely linked to the case in the public eye, the defense has a margin of maneuver to approach the subject with subtlety.

“If it is possible to suggest that this man might have been involved, you put out there” to help create a reasonable doubt in the minds of a jury, said Jackson. “But it is a dangerous thing to do because I do not know if there will be a backlash.”

Terry Kennedy

 Stories of triumph over adversity are always an inspiration and for Terry Kennedy it just keeps getting better and better.

The Long Beach skater, also known as “Compton Ass Terry” didn’t have the best start in life when aged just five years old his father left, and ten years later his mother died.

He grew up in Long Beach which he says was a hard thing to do as there are so many gangs, but the likeable African American always wanted better for himself and with his new TV show Being Terry Kennedy debuting last night it looks like he’s managed just that.

Kennedy has been a skate celebrity for a few years, the twenty-five-year old also featuring in Viva La Bam with Jackass’ Bam Margera and Snoop Dogg’s Drop it like it’s hot video.

His rise from gang life to celebrity has not been easy however and he was shot twice in June 2005, in the jaw and forearm while leaving a party in Long Beach.  He made a full recovery and has since, as always, kept on smiling.

In an interview with ESPN on the subject of his TV show Terry says, “I’m tapping on family, my skateboarding career, music and me being a young, up and coming mogul.”

And when asked why he felt Being Terry Kennedy will be a success where other skateboarding legends have failed he replied, “I’m going to be honest; my story can’t come across soft. Everything I’ve been through in life … that’s something I want to teach everybody in my city and inner cities around the country and in my African American culture, to not be scared of who you are. If I was scared of who I was as a person never have friends like Andrew Reynolds, I’d never be a skateboarder, nothing would’ve ever happened for me. That’s why I wanted to do the TV show, to show I come from the same situation or worse as many African Americans and I was able to prevail because I stayed true to what I believe in.”

Caitlin Sanchez

A  Caitlin Sanchez, Dora the Explorer lawsuit? Sanchez is the voice of the famous Nickelodeon character, but the 14-year-old’s parents are claiming that the network owes their daughter millions of dollars! Read more about the lawsuit and see photos of Caitlin here!

Have you seen the Caitlin Sanchez, Dora the Explorer lawsuit details? Wow. In case you didn’t know, the Fairview, New Jersey native has served as the voice of the Nickelodeon Dora character for a couple years (since 2008) but now there is a big fat lawsuit that her parents are throwing at the network. And the claims are explosive! We’ve got the details on this lawsuit here!

So what are the details of this dispute? Let’s just say, according to Caitlin’s parents, Nickelodeon has screwed Caitlin out of “millions, perhaps tens of millions of dollars”. Yikes!

Caitlin’s lawyer, John Balestriere told the Daily News “I’ve never seen as convoluted and inscrutable contract as I’ve seen here.” Balestriere continued, “Defendants used Caitlin, unjustly enriching themselves of millions of dollars in profits from the series and branded products, which Caitlin performed and promoted.”

In a nutshell, Caitlin’s parents are saying that Nickelodeon has not forked up any money for hundreds of hours of recording sessions. In addition to that, Caitlin was given only $40 a day for travel and a mere $5,000 an episode. That’s nothing!

However Nickelodeon is saying Caitlyn’s claims are baseless. They released the following statement saying, “Unfortunately, Caitlin’s voice changed and she was no longer able to portray the Dora character, as happened with the actress who originated the role. Caitlin’s contract was extensively negotiated through her agent and in compliance with her union. She was well-compensated for her work and for personal appearances. We have enjoyed working with Caitlin on Dora the Explorer these past three years, and we did in fact offer her a contract for other work with us.”

Sounds pretty messy!

Todd Collins Knocked Out

Sponsored Links

By Michael Tunison

It wasn't quite enough that Bears starter Jay Cutler was injured on Sunday night against the Giants with a concussion, but it appears that Chicago has lost veteran back-up Todd Collins as well. On the drive after the Giants took a 17-3 lead with about five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Collins was hit after a throw by Giants linebacker Michael Boley.

Collins head bounced off the turf on the hit - not much unlike Cutler's did - forcing Collins to leave the game with minutes left in the fourth quarter. Caleb Hanie relieved Collins and completed his first pass to Johnny Knox for 26 yards, but the Bears didn't get another first down, turning the ball over on downs on the next sequence.
