You can watch the fight Saturday when Versus will re-air it.</p> <p>Stann is an active duty Marine and was my unit's guest of honor at our Marine Corps Birthday Ball last November.&nbsp; Stann's had quite a couple of years with a couple of tours to Iraq while earning the Silver Star award during one of those tours all the while continuing to train for MMA fights.&nbsp;</p> <p>Stann took the title from Marshall last night in only his sixth fight (the deployments obviously is keeping that number low right now) and does not look like he will be giving it up any time soon.&nbsp; He already owns the record for the quickest knockout&nbsp; (16 seconds) which came in only his second fight.</p> http://www.lonestarball.com/2006/12/15/132412/42 Chris Hanes Fri, 15 Dec 2006 18:24:12 -0000 <p>Per ESPN, Jeff Bagwell has called it quits. &nbsp;Quite a player and from a fan's perspective, quite a person in general. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Well, it is official per the star telegram that it indeed has been moved. &nbsp;The networks can not get enough of Romo and the Cowboys. &nbsp;If the Cowboys beat the Giants this weekend and NO wins (I believe they play SF) then that sets up NBC for a terrific Sunday night game for two teams battling for a bye. &nbsp;But lets get by the Giants first before we start talking byes.</p> http://www.lonestarball.com/2006/9/4/15015/54816 Chris Hanes Mon, 04 Sep 2006 19:00:15 -0000 <p>Ramon Ortiz carrying a no hitter into the 9th inning. &nbsp;He led off the bottom of the 8th and cranked one out. &nbsp;Paciorek and Carpenter are going crazy in the booth.<br /> &nbsp;
