			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LeBron-James-and-Dwight-Howard-McDonalds-Commercial.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-26059" title="LeBron James and Dwight Howard McDonalds Commercial" src="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LeBron-James-and-Dwight-Howard-McDonalds-Commercial.jpg" alt="LeBron James and Dwight Howard McDonalds Commercial" width="272" height="202" /></a>Back in the day, <strong>Larry Bird</strong> and <strong>Michael Jordan</strong> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oACRt-Qp-s" target="_blank">went head to head for a Big Mac and fries</a>. The acts of chomping down on Micky D&#8217;s and playing sports are polar opposites, but who cares &#8212; the commercial was &#8220;nothin&#8217; but net.&#8221; We never even find out who won because neither Air Jordan or Larry Legend missed. It&#8217;s better that way, kinda like Rocky and Apollo sparring at the end of Rocky 3. <strong>Charles Barkley</strong> even wondered if he could play <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lePELkXcqs&amp;feature=player_embedded#" target="_blank">one year later</a>.</p>
<p>Flash Forward to 2010, over 15 years later. The update of the classic &#8220;Bird vs. Jordan&#8221; McDonald&#8217;s Super Bowl commercial features modern NBA superstars <strong>Dwight Howard </strong>and <strong>LeBron James</strong>. King James sits down with a bag of, you guessed it, Big Mac and fries while Howard is practicing. Dwight offers to play for it, and you know after Superman&#8217;s <a href="http://howardthedunk.com/">Orlando Magic</a> beat Bron&#8217;s <a href="http://kingjamesgospel.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> in the playoffs last year that LBJ was down. Especially considering <a title="LeBron James Teases Us With A Crazy Practice Dunk (Video)" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/2010/02/05/lebron-james-teases-us-with-a-crazy-practice-dunk-video/" target="_self">the way he dunks in practice</a>.</p>
<p>Before things got started, the two agreed to &#8220;no jumpshots&#8221; per the request of Howard. That was a nice little bit of riffing off of Bird&#8217;s &#8220;no dunking&#8221; line in the original. After that, the dunk contest we wish we&#8217;d get to see at NBA All-Star Weekend went down. Flat-footed 540s. Quadruple pumps. Between-the-leg windmills. 360s from the free-throw line &#8212; with Olympic-style landings. Sure, a little CGI and some special effects tricks were used, but it was still awesome. One of the best commercials of the night hands down. Check it out&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-20884" title="Cat Fight Breaks Out During BYU - New Mexico Soccer Game" src="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Cat-fighting-Breaks-Out-During-BYU-New-Mexico-Soccer-Game-300x225.jpg" alt="Cat Fight Breaks Out During BYU - New Mexico Soccer Game" width="250" height="188" />Hair-pulling, Tripping, Sucker-punches, Cheap-shot elbows and Kicking teeth in. That brand of <a title="The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 Kicks Off With A Blood Bath" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/the-ultimate-fighter-season-10-kicks-off-with-a-blood-bath/" target="_self">violence doesn&#8217;t even fly inside the UFC&#8217;s octagon</a>, let alone on an NCAA women&#8217;s soccer field. Nonetheless, during Thursday&#8217;s Mountain West Conference Tournament semifinal contest between the <strong>BYU Cougars</strong> and <strong>New Mexico Lobos</strong>, all of those things pretty much happened. In fact, WWE head honcho <strong>Vince McMahon</strong> might give some of these girls a call &#8212; New Mexico defender <strong>Elizabeth Lambert</strong> (No. 15), I&#8217;m looking at you &#8212; after that pier six brawl.</p>
<p>This was a brutal soccer match-up all across the board, but it was Lambert who made fellow collegiate athletes <strong>Brandon Spikes</strong> and <a title="Oregon Ducks LeGarrette Blount Punches Boise Player In The Face [Video]" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/ducks-legarrette-blount-punches-boise-player-in-the-face-video/" target="_self"><strong>LeGarrette Blount</strong> look like pansies</a>. First, she kidney-punched a BYU player right in the back. Then she upped the ante by kicking a ball right into a fallen opponent&#8217;s grill from point-blank range. She got carded for that stunt. In between sending Cougars spiraling down left and right, she managed a couple of poorly-veiled swings. All of that&#8217;s nothing compared to her most outrageous attack of the night. After a skirmish with BYU&#8217;s <strong>Kassidy Shumway</strong>, Lambert got up and viciously yanked Shumway to the grass by her ponytail. Watch out, <strong>Troy Polamalu</strong>, because you could be next.</p>
<p>This just backs up what many sports fans have been saying for a long, long time &#8212; women athletes are arguably rougher than their male counterparts. No matter the sport, you are just as likely to witness fisticuffs during a women&#8217;s game as you are a men&#8217;s one.</p>

<p><strong>Breaking News:</strong> Oregon Ducks RB LeGarrette Blount has been suspended for the season.</p>
<p>Total Pro Sports (By Adam Best &#8220;<a title="FanSided Sports Network" href="http://www.fansided.com" target="_blank">FanSided</a>&#8220;)  &#8211; Two great teams from the Pacific Northwest squared off tonight during the onset of yet another college football season. Boise State beat Oregon on their home blue turf, 19-8. But that&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re going to hear about. What you&#8217;re going to hear about is the time typically reserved for post-game handshakes and sportsmanship.</p>
<p>Boise State defensive end <strong>Byron Hout</strong> started taunting Oregon running back <strong>LeGarrette Blount</strong> after the game. Little did he know, Blount is a walking time-bomb, one that can go off at any minute. His coach even suspended him earlier this summer for behavioral issues. A Boise State coach tried to stop Hout from talking smack, but it was already too late. Blount absolutely leveled him with a jab that would have made <a title="Anderson Silva’s Punch Sends Forrest Griffin Running From The Ring" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/ducks-legarrette-blount-punches-boise-player-in-the-face-video/" target="_self">UFC Middleweight Champ <strong>Anderson Silva</strong> proud.</a></p>
<p><span id="more-16221"></span><br />
 Blount wasn&#8217;t done, though. Far from it, actually. He then went after his teammate before being restrained. Next, <a title="Ron Artest Says He’s Poor And His Team Sucks" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/05/ron-artest-says-hes-poor-and-his-team-sucks/" target="_self">he channeled his inner <strong>Ron Artest</strong></a> and damn near charged into the stands, that is until an Oregon coach was barely able to pull him back. Finally, it took a brigade of Ducks to escort him back to the locker room, as Blount was still completely out of control. I think it&#8217;s safe to assume that we won&#8217;t be seeing Blount on a football field anytime soon.</p>
<p>Check out the video for yourselves&#8230;  <em><strong>And Let us know in the comments Should or Shouldn&#8217;t LeGarrette Blount be suspended?</strong></em></p>
