Manny Pacquiao’s promoter trying to set up new fight with Yuri Foreman. Contacted while vacationing in Mexico, Arum told The Times, “This is only my opinion, but I don’t see the fight happening now. Positions are hardening. I talked to [Pacquiao's advisor], and Manny’s fit to be tied. He’s very angry.” [The Fabulous Forum]
* Presenting fat guy vs. lake. I don’t care who you are or how much you hate cruelty to other people or how many trees you hugged last week. If a fat guy takes a running start of the end of a dock, YOU ARE WATCHING. But did we mention that this is in the dead of winter and that the lake might be … frozen? [With Leather]

* The 2009 ‘Best Post’ Blogging Retrospective. To close out 2009, I asked a few of my fellow members of the sports and pop culture blogging intelligentsia to send me their best post from 2009. I’m proud to say that I at least retweeted most of these when they first went live, and had a chance to go back and re-read. This list revisits Barry Bonds, Brett Favre, cartoon characters who juiced, and the seemingly insurmountable number of Harry Potter-lookalikes in the sporting world. [Steady Burn]
* The Last Bloody Eagles-Giants Fan Fight Ever At Giants Stadium. S*** hits the fan at the :39 mark when a woman starts getting shove-y. Then come the bombs. A left hook from Giants fan gets things rolling and young-ish Jints fan seems to take a blow to the nose because there is a pool of the red stuff under his nose. [Busted Coverage]
* Pro Bowler Vernon Davis: “This offense is definitely tight end friendly”. “Probably coach Singletary staying on me, just getting on me whenever I am doing things good. Just staying on the right path and putting my teammates first and not being about myself.” [Sports Radio Interviews]
