It's getting to be the end of the year, which means the buzz starts for year end awards, including the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year (or Sportswoman as the case may be).
(Editor's Note: The U.S. Women's World Cup Team won the prestigious award in 1999 and surely had the USA won the Women's World Cup, this year's squad would have been in the conversation).

Saturday's big fight was between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz. However, the better fight ended up being between Floyd Mayweather and Larry Merchant. The legendary boxer and the legendary boxing announcer went toe-to-toe after the fight and it was rather entertaining. Check out the Floyd Mayweather and Larry Merchant video below.

Robbie Savage hid his disappointment well when it was revealed that he would be partnering former boxer and contestant Joe Calzaghe in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Aw, we're just funning with you, Kickettes. Sav and Joe were larking about after an England Legends XI played a Wales Legends XI in the John Hartson Foundation Charity Match last week.

"The rage burning inside Didier Drogba as he was ushered down the tunnel by Paulo Ferreira suggested that this was no warm-up for the main event at Stamford Bridge in two days' time.
