<p>With the AFC trailing 35-31 late in the third quarter, Marshall was able to regain the lead for his team, as he got loose in the secondary and made an unbelievable catch off his knee while going to the ground in the end zone.  That touchdown would put the AFC up by a score of 38-35, and they wouldn&#8217;t look back from there, en route to the 59-41 victory.</p>
<p>Here is a look at the game-changing catch that was made by yesterday&#8217;s game-changing player.  Check it out.</p>

<p>The win was Aldo&#8217;s 14th straight, and it was also his fifth straight successful title defense (the first two came while the belt belonged to the WEC, while the last three came in UFC bouts).  However, with this bout taking place in his home country of Brazil, it appeared to be that much more special, and it showed seconds after the referee called an end to the fight, as Aldo sprinted outside the cage and jumped into a crowd of rowdy Brazilian fans.  After being engulfed in the madness, it appeared as though Aldo would never make it back to the ring to receive his belt, but security was eventually able to round up the champ and usher him back to the center of the octagon.</p>
<p>Here is a look at all of the action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/bjj-bitchslap.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-72784" title="bjj bitchslap" src="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/bjj-bitchslap-150x150.jpg" alt="bjj bitchslap" width="150" height="150" /></a>When I think of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I often tend to think of two fighters rolling around on a mat in an effort to gain a dominant ground position, while attempting to apply joint-locks and chock holds when the opportunity arises.  Rarely, if ever, do I think of knees and slaps as part of a BJJ fighter&#8217;s repertoire, but that appeared to be the case during this competitive bout, as one combatant accidentally (we assume) landed an illegal knee to the face of his opponent, who retaliated with an open-handed slap to the face.</p>
<p>If you were ever wondering which of the two illegal moves is frowned upon more in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the answer appears to be the b*itchslap, rather than the knee.  We have drawn that conclusion based on the judge&#8217;s decision to disqualify the slapper, and not his opponent, in this bout.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/lsu-knee.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-72655" title="lsu knee" src="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/lsu-knee-150x150.jpg" alt="lsu knee" width="150" height="150" /></a>With just over five minutes remaining in their game against Ole Miss on Saturday, the LSU Tigers had the ball with a 52-3 lead and first-and-goal from the Rebels&#8217; one-yard line.  In an effort to avoid running up the score, Tigers head coach <strong>Les Miles </strong>decided to take what he felt was the classy approach and instructed the offense to take a knee on their next four plays, running the clock down to 3:00 before turning the ball over on downs.</p>
<p>While some may applaud Miles&#8217; actions, others will question whether it was in fact a classy move, or a classless one.  After all, is there anything more embarrassing that watching your opponent line up in &#8220;victory formation&#8221; with five minutes remaining in the game?  Sure, the Tigers probably would have walked the ball into the end zone on their first play from the one-yard line and increased their lead to 59-3, but isn&#8217;t that better than watching them take a knee, as if to say &#8220;we know we are going to score on you again, so we&#8217;re not even going to bother trying&#8221;?</p>
<p>This appears to be one of those instances where Miles and the Tigers simply can&#8217;t win.  If he punches it in, he is running up the score.  If he takes a knee with five minutes remaining, he is embarrassing the entire Ole Miss team.</p>
<p>Here is a look at the incident.  Classy or Classless?  Let the debate begin!</p>

<p>The 24th-ranked Fighting Illini would eventually come out on top, 38-35, after scoring a game-winning touchdown with only 13 seconds remaining.  So does losing to a ranked conference foe via a touchdown with 13 seconds remaining hurt more than getting kneed in the groin?  I guess Patrick Ward is the only one who can provide an accurate answer to that question.</p>
<p>As for Brown, he has since been suspended for one game by Illinois head coach <strong>Ron Zook</strong> for his actions during Saturday&#8217;s game.  Here is a look at the incident.</p>

<p>Landreau&#8217;s careless challenge earned him a yellow card and gave Bordeaux a penalty kick, but Khalfallah&#8217;s sacrifice would be all for naught, as his team would miss the kick and settle for a 1-1 draw.</p>

<p>While his Queensland teammates were celebrating a 34-24 victory and their sixth consecutive State of Origin title over New South Wales, Thurston was busy dealing with the pain of suffering a grade two medial ligament tear after fellow Maroons player <strong>Ashley Harrison </strong>rolled onto his knee while making a tackle.</p>
<p>Although Thurston&#8217;s National Rugby League club, the North Queensland Cowboys, feared the worse after watching their star player&#8217;s knee bend the wrong way, they were happy to hear that the playmaking halfback will only miss five-to-six weeks, rather than the remainder of the season.</p>
<p>That news, along with plenty of Tylenol 3s and Percocets , should help Thurston deal with the pain from this gruesome injury.  Here is a look at how it happened.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/zambrano-breaks-bat.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-60730" title="zambrano breaks bat" src="http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/zambrano-breaks-bat-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>In 11 MLB seasons, Cubs pitcher <strong>Carlos Zambrano </strong>has a .240 average at the plate.  In 641 at bats, he has struck out a total of 226 times, which equals over one-third of his at bats.  Therefore, you would think that the 30-year-old from Venezuela would be used to striking out these days, but that didn&#8217;t appear to be the case last night during a game against the Houston Astros.</p>
<p>With a runner in scoring position, Zambrano whiffed on strike three, ending the inning and causing him to take his frustrations out on the bat.</p>
<p>At first, it appeared as though the bat would survive Zambrano&#8217;s wrath, but <a title="“What Did I Do?” Asks The Gatorade Cooler To Carlos Zambrano" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/2009/05/28/carlos-zambrano-ejected-and-smashes-the-gatorade-cooler/" target="_self">as every Gatorade cooler knows</a>, Zambrano&#8217;s wrath is never complete after only one blow.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering, the Astros scored 6 runs in the ninth inning, en route to the 7-3 come-from-behind victory.  Here is a look at Zambrano&#8217;s bat-breaking blowup.</p>

<p>During Sunday&#8217;s Ukranian League match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Volyn, <strong>Luiz Adriano</strong> was on the receiving end of a devastating knee to the face from Volyn keeper <strong>Vitaliy Nedilko</strong>.</p>
<p>I am not quite sure how Adriano made if off the field following this painful looking collision, but if he didn&#8217;t end up requiring the services of a stretcher, then I know one soccer player <a title="Is This Guy The Epitome Of Soccer Sissies?
