Ronnie Brown's season has ended with an injury -- again. The Miami Dolphins' leading rusher was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of a right foot injury suffered in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay.
As the premier season of the UFL comes to a close this week, and the league looks to expand into new markets for year two, we have to wonder if this league belongs in the big market of New York. The New York Sentinels have the second worst average attendance behind just the California Redwoods. They are averaging just 6,637 fans per home game and in a town like New York that makes them insignificant.

Responding to Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s statements earlier this week, seven-time world champion Manny Pacquiao says that "for the record" he wants to fight the undefeated former pound-for-pound king.
Joel Ward and David Legwand each had a goal and two assists, and the Nashville Predators beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 Tuesday night for their third straight win and seventh in nine games.

The Buffalo Bills became the first NFL team to fire their Head Coach in 2009 today when they fired Dick Jauron. To say that the 2009 campaign has been a disappointment is a vast understatement. Finishing 7-9 for the past three years, added to what looked like a decent 2009 draft, on top of the signing of receiver Terrell Owens, Bills fans were looking for something more than a 3-6 start. In fact many NFL pundits had The Bills on a list of teams on the cusp of making a playoff run. Instead they have failed to make T.O. a part of their offensive attack, and it looks like they will have to undertake a massive rebuilding effort.
