I have had a great time at the Arnold Sports Festival. Congratulations to Holley Mangold for making the U.S. Olympic Team in Weightlifting, I was surprised at Michael Clark's loss, Arnold was given a statue in front of Veteran's Memorial and for the second straight year, the Rock Star Bikini winner, won the overall all at the Arnold Amateur!!

I'll see you tonight at the Arnold Sports Festival Professional Boxing Championships. They are going to be held at Battelle Grand Hall at the Columbus Convention Center!

I hear Universal Sports will be taping tonight!

Wear your best cloths.

Good Morning. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

The Stallone Boxing Hall of Fame was misreported earlier. It WAS for his "writing" the Rocky movie not "acting" as a boxer. He clearly made the statement in respect to the boxers, and my respect to SLY!

Read from yahoo

If anyone could understand the 44-year-old Tyson’s mind-set, it was Stallone, who penned the script about an underdog boxer from Philadelphia named Rocky Balboa and then played the part in the movies. “Rocky” was released in 1976 and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning best picture, best director and best film editing.

“Rocky” made Stallone what he is today and captured boxing’s heart from the outset. Every induction weekend is punctuated by the theme song from “Rocky,” and on this day it seemed a little bit louder than usual as it blared over the loudspeakers when the honorees made their way onstage.

“I’ve never pretended to be a boxer. I don’t possess those skills,” said Stallone, who skipped the annual pre-induction parade because of security concerns. “What I do think I have is an understanding of what goes on outside the ring. Outside the ring is sometimes maybe an even bigger struggle than what goes on inside the ring, and I was able to capture that. Then I believe that you can identify more with the fighter.”

Stallone paused as the crowd erupted again.

“More than that, you also realize that our life is a constant battle,” Stallone said. “Sometimes I write things that may seem a little sentimental, but I truly believe it’s not how hard you can hit—it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward because that’s really what makes the difference in your life.”

Stallone also wrote five other movies based on the Rocky Balboa character and in 2006 was awarded the Boxing Writers Association of America award for “Lifetime Cinematic Achievement in Boxing.”

“There is special reverence for me,” Stallone said. “They are the greatest athletes in the world. They are our connection to the past and our way to the future. They are the guys that go in there and take the blows and show that if you really put it out there on the line, you are a champion. You may not be the champion of the world, but you’ll be the champion of your life.

“And Yo Adrian, I did it!” Stallone shouted in closing, repeating one of the more famous lines from the movie.

THIS WAS FROM YAHOO.

I hear people hating on Lebron James today. I was pissed at Miami last night and not Lebron.

Dallas Mavericks played a solid game and congratulations to them. On the other hand Miami helped them win.

How?

Miami was working as a team during the whole season. But in the finals, someone decided he was going to be the first, second AND third option, and it wasn't Lebron.

MIAMI LOST FOCUS!

I know the Heat are a great team and they played as a team up until the championship.

Keep your head up Lebron, when you guys start playing as a team again, I know you'll be back in the finals.

I keep getting asked how I feel about Sylvestor Stallone being in the Boxing Hall of Fame.

1) Congratulations to Mike! I'm sorry I wasn't there to see him inducted this year. He deserves it.

2) I like that Rocky gave an uplift to boxing as a whole. In that respect, I would have liked to see the writers, all producers and all actors inducted, as a whole. Maybe the whole Rocky film staff.

I think the guy the movie was based on The Bayonee Bleeder, Chuck Wepner, who is in the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame, should have been represented.

His 1975 fight in Cleveland with Ali was legendary!

Because I'm doing my own movie now, that's all I'll say.

Herschel Walker got to meet another great athlete, my son, Artie. This was one of the many pics from the 2011 Arnold Sports Festival.

I wish Terelle Pryor the best. He made a mistake as a freshman, and has apologized. To all of the Buckeye Nation who are demanding blood in the streets, you need to STOP.

He apologized for his freshman mistake. I didn't know so many Columbus area people owned a set of Golden Pants?!?

Have a great game Terrelle, show the SEC and the world WHO YOU ARE! The GREAT Terrelle Pryor
