Sixteen years and one day after he promoted his first mixed martial arts competition...
Anaheim, CA - Sixteen years and one day after he promoted his first mixed martial arts competition, Tuff-N-Uff Productions, Inc., President Barry Meyer will be inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame during the Eleventh Annual Awards Ceremonies on Saturday, June 19, 2010, at the Anaheim Hilton in Anaheim, California. Meyer, who is a 1st Degree Black Belt in taekwando, first became interested in mixed martial arts after watching the inaugural Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1993. Just seven months later he was presenting an amateur kickboxing tournament in his high school gymnasium under the Tuff-N-Uff name.
Barry Meyer began his own martial arts career studying taekwondo at age 5, and was awarded a black belt at age 12. He also trained in several other arts, including kung-fu, jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing. However it was the promotion of the martial arts that became his true passion, and he soon proved himself in that field. Among Meyer’s accomplishments are co-promoting the Chuck Norris World Combat League, promoting the North American trials of the Abu-Dhabi Combat Championships, obtaining one of the first MMA licenses in Nevada, and successfully lobbying for approval of amateur status for MMA in Nevada.

Dan McLellan on SanDiego.com covers the press conference held at Madera Golf Club. While it makes sense financially and that we have not been able to prioritize the creation of the right offensive line that supports LT the reality is that a major face of San Diego Sports is saying goodbye.
LaDainian Tomlinson speaks for first time about leaving the Chargers
As muich as this makes sense it's still weird. In the last few years we have seen so many faces of San Diego Sports say goodbye including Trevor Hoffman and most of the San Diego Padres.(Nice Stadium, I don't recognize the team.)
LaDainian Tomlinson still considers himself part of the community and plans to keep TOUCHING LIVES FOUNDATION Active and has stated that he will retire ultimately as a charger.
Dan McLellan,
Congratulations on covering the end on an era in sports history in San Diego, Ca and your placement in the News Sports Categories via SanDiego.com
San Diego, Ca- Ok so heres the challenge. If your not immediately a fan of the team with the advantage you root for the underdog. The problem is that the underdog is Eli Manning who really didn't want to play in San Diego when we drafted him first and then traded him to New York. I still remember that look on his face and I thought wow, that's the face of a spolied millionaire football kid. LAME!!!
After watching him play lately I can't help but be impressed with his fortitude on the road and the fact that he's just trying to do his job especially since he has been following in his brothers footsteps and Peyton just lost to the San Diego Chargers in the playoffs.
As for the New England Patriots and Bill Belichec they have a tendency to hire former Chargers. Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison, Doug Flutie, etc. The great interview that Junior had in the San Diego Union Tribune was just fantastic as well as his post game speech after they beat us. Where he basically stated... I will always be a Charger.
So there it is former Chargers with a Charger at heart who made it to the Superbowl before but played a superior team or the guy who just would rather die before he played in San Diego. Since I'm not betting I'll take a little piece of San Diego at the big game.
So Phillip Rivers had Surgery kept it quiet and then played in the game. Wow!!! That has to gain some respect around the media, fans etc.
LT had to to take himself out of the Game which must have been agonizing for several reasons especially in 0 degree weather.
Gentleman, Thank You for a great season oh and Phillip please tip your dealers. (Wink.)
Wow! I can't believe that only one guy in the media has picked the Chargers to win. I mean it was already so crazy that at the Chargers Colts it seemed like the Chargers were penalized extremely as if the Officiating team got a call from the Power that be to WINk WINK we really don't wan't to see the chargers move forward because of all the lovey dovey Colt Manning Love.
(By the way I like Mannings Commercials with the exception of that really weird one with them eating cookies with Mom and Dad and his brother. I mean the budget on that must have been outrageous. The monthly food expenses of some poor country in Africa.)
So the only guy that is even optimistic is...
Mike Lopresti of USA Today
So Thank You Mike for being optimistic. I think we have a shot and what a great upset it would be...
GO CHARGERS!!!
