The Jets and NHL have a huge brand to protect, they want zero scandals and everyone associated with them to protect that image.

Do you really think that the NHL is the only league where young guys with millions of dollars are clean as a whistle?

The ufc is in full blown crisis mode, the NFL is almost there, mlb has been fighting this for decades... But no its impossible that good old hockey players aren't in that same boat.

The NHL and True North have done a much better job protecting the image of the brand would be the real answer.

Or it could be that the culture of the NHL is different and therefor they have less issues than other leagues.  I think thats the answer. 

 

All those other leagues and organizations have a brand to protect too.

 

I wouldnt say the UFC is in crises mode.  They have problems but it's not a crises.  They will get it sorted out.  I remember the HUGE drug scandal in WWE a few years ago (that ended up with Vince mcMahon on federal trial) but they worked it out...more or less. 

GSP is happy with the direction they are going but , like me, wants to hear more specifics.  It'll be interesting to see if these changes will be enough to get him back in the cage.

 

From his twitter account:

 

 

Very happy to learn about the UFC announcing a new comprehensive random PED testing

 

Clearly a big step in the right direction for our sport.

 

Can't wait to get more details about the actual protocol, 3rd party testing agency and new sanctions.

Did anyone catch the last UFC with Mir vs Bigfoot Silva.....    it's amazing to see just how much the body transforms when guys are off the TRT.... it looked like Bigfoots arms were deflated they were so darn small.     

It wasn't just his arms that looked off, he had some pretty bad back acne going on too.  I'm not sure what was worse, Silva's appearance or his performance.  Both are a direct result of him no longer being on TRT so I guess it's a tie.

 

It sure was a good night for gamblers and a bad night for bookies!  A one dollar bet on the underdogs was worth just under 50k
