Weeden Slams Jerry Jones, Hope He Watches Playoffs ‘On His Couch’
When asked about the possibility of Houston going to the playoffs when Dallas will be sitting at home, Weeden didn’t mince words. Again, Weeden delivered as he completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 34-6 beatdown.

In an earlier report of BoxingScene.com, the Cincinnati fighter has been slashed from the list of potential opponents for Pacquiao’s April 9 bout slated in Las Vegas, which could possibly be the last fight of eight-division world champ as he is reportedly set to run for a seat in the Philippine Senate.

He also blasted the “incompetence” the DNC’s Web vendor, saying it had dropped Clinton data into his campaign’s lap a few times . Bernie Sanders of Vermont a distant second at 34 percent, according to the latest Fox News poll.

Although the paperwork is being finalized, Arum told ESPN that he has deals with both fighters and that he closed with Pacquiao on Tuesday by wiring him a $2 million advance against his $20 million guaranteed purse.

Pacquiao fought Bradley in 2014 in beating him by a 12 round decision, and in 2012 in losing by a controversial 12 round decision. In picking Bradley, Pacquiao has lent credence to the belief that the least potentially unsafe option is best. The 37-year-old Pacquiao probably won’t retire after his next fight, but he still shouldn’t waste his time – or ours – reiterating what we learned the first two times he battled Bradley. If he’d have stayed with Joel Diaz and we’d put him in with Pacquiao a third time, the criticism of this fight would no doubt be justified.

“It’s too bad Pacquiao will be stuck fighting Crawford, Bradley or Khan for his final fight for his career, because those are really awful choices for Pacquiao”, Williams wrote.

This is not to say that Manny Pacquiao will have an easy time dispatching Timothy Bradley Jr. once again. Rafael references Pacquiao’s intention to transition into politics full-time, and perhaps his selection of Bradley as his final foe supports this. “It may very well be his last fight, but I won’t put myself in the position of selling it as his last fight and then he decides he wants to fight again and I look like a schmuck”.

Pacquiao will have been out of the ring for nearly a year when he faces Bradley having undergone shoulder surgery following his defeat by Floyd Mayweather last May. Bradley seems rejuvenated under the tutelage of Teddy Atlas, as evidenced by his stoppage of Brandon Rios in November.

“It’s not going to be Manny’s last fight because anything could still happen and you know Manny”, he said. “We’re not going to make that the focal point of the promotion, though”. Bradley dominated Rios and stopped him in the ninth round of an exceptionally one-sided fight.
