'Macho' Camacho arrested on burglary charge

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP)  Three-time world boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho was arrested Thursday in the burglary of a Gulfport business last November.

Gulfport police chief Stephen T. Barnes said that Camacho, 42, was being held in Harrison County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. No date was set for an initial court appearance.

Barnes declined Thursday to release any details of the burglary  including what kind of business it was or what allegedly was taken.

Barnes said a warrant was issued Dec. 22 for Camacho, who has been training on the Mississippi coast. The police chief said the burglary was reported to police on Dec. 2.

Camacho (78-5-2, 38 KOs) has been training for a middleweight bout with Chris Walsh (19-7-1, 7 KOs) on Jan. 21 in Gulfport.

Camacho, who won a unanimous decision over Clint McNeil in July, is a former super-featherweight, lightweight and junior-welterweight champion. His last title fight came against then-welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya in 1997, when he lost a unanimous decision.

Camacho has had several brushes with the law involving drugs, domestic assault and driving violations. When he was 16, he served 3½ months in a New York prison for auto theft.

Very good job... A+.  I know smazz is pretty predicable, but it is still impressive that you nailed it right on!

Smazza's love of the pac 10 made it an easy call.  

CAl (Auburn) simply didn't come to play

who could  blame them

they were jobbed by bcs

Sound familar?  

Yup! it is... and this year it was right, for once.

Let's not make a habit of it......the being right part of course..... ;D

CAl  simply didn't come to play

Will you say the same thing if Auburn loses?

I predicted before the year a sox WS title.

Isn't that a red sox tradition?  

A bit of both... i do think USC is overrated.

Did you see last week one OU lineman called USC average and USC's qb overated?  

Nothing like a little BB material....

OU - 35

USC 14

Ouch!  Is that your real prediction or just a dig at Smazza?  

OU   31

USC 28

Reading the NY Post this morning..... and it says that Johnson wants the deal done before the new year or forget about it......and that he will go back to the DBacks.....unhappy.  

Look for some renewed effort to get the deal done in the next day or so.  

i think chemistry will be better without him.  Talent, but not a team player.

You hit the nail right on the head with that assessment....

AHAHAHAHAH!  I love it.  Yankees sitting there with egg on their face after bragging how Johnson was a done deal, blah blah blah.

Red Sox fans are sure cocky.....aftr only one good year........

How's that fella .......Pedro doing?   :-*

He's not going anywhere.  HAHAHAHHAH!

The Dodger's are out of the picture.....the Yank's and D-Back's may still work out a trade or look for a third team for a new deal.....

The Yankees and Diamondbacks very likely will try to revive this deal one-on-one, and have some level of confidence it can still be completed since they were in the midst of serious discussions when the Dodgers injected themselves into the deal last week. The trade might not include Vazquez and/or might include a third team other than Los Angeles.

Shaq advises Kobe not to come into the lane on Saturday

MIAMI (AP) -- Shaquille O'Neal has some advice for former teammate Kobe Bryant when the rivals play against each other for the first time -- stay out of the lane.

"If you've got a Corvette that runs into a brick wall, you know what's gonna happen," he said in a halftime interview on ABC's Monday Night Football. "He's a corvette. I'm a brick wall. So you know what's gonna happen."

O'Neal and his new team, the Miami Heat, play Bryant and the Lakers on Saturday in Los Angeles. The two feuded for most of his time there. O'Neal asked to be traded to Miami in the offseason after the Lakers lost to Detroit in the NBA Finals.

"A lot of people think you have to have a relationship to play together and win championships. That's not true at all and it was evident. But you have to have respect," O'Neal said. "Were we ever close? Not really. Did I respect his game? Of course I did."

O'Neal said he didn't find out that Lakers coach Phil Jackson had been fired after losing to the Pistons until seeing it on the NBA's Web site.

"Now usually when something like that goes down, I'm either the first or second to know about it," he said. "So when he was fired without my knowledge, I knew some changes were going to be made."

Bryant told ESPN last week that he couldn't reach O'Neal to talk to him before the trade because he didn't have his phone number. O'Neal told ABC's Al Michaels he had no reaction to that.

"Because I know how he really is. I've been trying to say that for eight years. But you have to look at the individuals and see what type of people that they are," he said. "I've always done things the right way, I've always done things the classy way."

dodgers are getting bashed bad

Who's fault is that?  

cb may be right

He might be wrong also.......  Let's look at it from the half full view point......he has performed well in Seattle and Arizona......hopefully that will continue in NY.  

He will benifit from the Yanks run production.....that should make him happy!

The other guy in the deal is a complete no name, at least to me.

Eric Duncan and Navarro were the players of year the last two years in the Yanks farm system.  Duncan plays thirdbase and it would have been hard to beat out the Yanks current thirdbaseman.  

and 2 prospects, whom probably weren't very good anyway)

Keep you eyes on Dioner Navarro.  I thought he was the one who would replace Posada in a couple of years....

Report: Big Unit headed to Yanks

Three-team deal would bring big lefty to the Bronx

By Tom Singer / MLB.com  

 

Randy Johnson will soon join the Yankees, according to several reports. (David Zalubowski/AP)  

Several media outlets Thursday night reported on a proposed three-team deal that would bring Arizona's Big Unit to The Bronx.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' quick emergence as a third party to the deal has spurred an agreement "in principle," as reported by both Sporting News and Newsday on their Web sites.

According to the reports, New York would send right-hander Javier Vazquez to the Dodgers, along with minor-league catcher Dioner Navarro and third baseman Eric Duncan.

Los Angeles in turn would send right-handed starter Brad Penny, reliever Yhency Brazoban and outfielder Shawn Green to the Diamondbacks.

The Yankees are in line to get "only" Johnson. But the 41-year-old veteran, the 2004 Cy Young Award runner-up to Roger Clemens, is all the Bombers have wanted since well before last July's trading deadline.

The Yankees had no comment on the transaction, which would depend on physicals by all the principals and dispensation of the no-trade clause in Johnson's contract.

Duncan's agent told a New York TV station late Thursday night that the only holdup to the deal was Green's no-trade clause.

Ken Kendrick, a member of the Diamondbacks' ownership group, told MLB.com, "There's no deal," but he added that there are "multiple discussions going on at this point."

Kendrick also indicated an understanding with Johnson's representatives to bring a final resolution to his status by Dec. 31.

"We're still in conversations with a lot of different clubs about a lot of different possibilities," Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta said earlier in the day. "We have talked about some three-way deals and some four-way deals. I don't know if it's going to happen or not."

New York, which has also pursued ex-Philadelphia pitcher Eric Milton to fill the left-handed void in its rotation, has apparently never been closer to closing on Johnson.

In the consequential offseason world of Major League Baseball, a number of earlier developments may have moved this prospective deal along.

Earlier Thursday, the Atlanta Braves completed a deal with Oakland for Tim Hudson, a pitcher for whom Los Angeles was also in hot pursuit. Having missed out on Hudson, the Dodgers quickly seized Vazquez as an alternative.

Also Thursday, the Seattle Mariners reached a five-year agreement with free-agent Adrian Beltre, which may have influenced the Dodgers to accept a third baseman, Duncan, as part of the Yankees package.

On Wednesday, the Mariners had also signed free-agent slugger Richie Sexson. The Diamondbacks found a replacement long-ball threat in Green, along with a pair of pithers in their mid-20s.

Both players are also due to earn $16 million in 2005, a contractual wash which would facilitate a swap that involves both of them.

Johnson's clause is not foreseen as a problem, inasmuch as the 246-game winner himself has been campaigning hard to be dealt to New York.

But as pointed out by Newsday, Johnson's contract also includes several Phoenix-specific perks that would have to be converted if he changes residences.

Johnson is entering the second season of a two-year, $33 million contract and would want to negotiate an extension with his new team.

Yanks host Red Sox in 2005 home opener.........they meet the next weekend in Boston and the Red Sox will most likely receive their rings..... :-[  :-X  :-[

Too Funny.......My baby, my baby.....Honey the sox won the whole thing....that's the way it is...... ;D ;D ;D

I have allways loved Wells as a pitcher, however Red Sox fans you may be getting a raw deal like the Yanks got with Kevin Brown.   ;D

he has all the accessories

Purse, belt and shoes?

I hope they match..

I think you just want to back a Bush for once.

Say it isn't so.....
