UFC 134 Results: What?s Next For Yushin Okami With a Win?
It's finally happening; Yushin Okami is getting his title shot.
He was promised a shot at the UFC Middleweight Championship after defeating Nate Marquardt at UFC 122, but the UFC elected to give Vitor Belfort a shot first.
At UFC 134, Okami will get his long-awaited crack at Anderson Silva and a chance to cement his place in MMA history by capturing a UFC title.
Many fans believe that Okami has a good chance in this fight, given his strong background in wrestling; Okami's training partner, Chael Sonnen, fought Silva almost a year ago and was almost able to win the fight using his grappling skills.
If Okami brings the fight to Silva and keeps pressure on him at all-times, he stands a chance of ending Silva's title reign and becoming the new UFC middleweight champion.
In the event that Okami does dethrone the champ, it's curious to think about what's next for him after that.
In all probability, his first title defense would be against either Brian Stann or Chael Sonnen.
Sonnen and Stann are scheduled to fight at UFC 136, in a fight intended to determine the middleweight division's No. 1 contender.
Both would be interesting fights for Okami.
A bout with Stann would be a classic wrestler vs. striker matchup and a fight with Sonnen would be a rematch, Sonnen having won their first fight at UFC 104.
However, anything can happen in the UFC and if neither Sonnen nor Stann performs impressively, the title shot could be passed along to someone else.
Chris Leben and Mark Munoz are set to headline UFC 138 and I wouldn't rule either of them out as Okami's next opponent, especially if one of them wins the fight in dominant fashion.

Ex-NBAer Involved In Locker Room Gun Incident Is Now Wanted For Murder
Atlanta police have issued an arrest warrant for former NBA player Javaris Crittenton and plan to charge him with murder for the shooting of a 23-year-old woman.
Crittenton was suspended from the NBA in 2010 after reportedly pulling a gun (or throwing a gun at) Washington Wizards teammate Gilbert Arenas during a locker room dispute.
Both players were banned for the remainder of the season and pled guilty to misdemeanor gun charges. Crittenton never returned to the NBA.
Crittenton is accused of firing at three people from the back of an SUV on August 19. Jullian Jones, a mother of four, was not believed to be the intended target, but she was stuck in the hip by a bullet and died during surgery.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Crittenton may have been trying to shoot a man he believed had robbed him of jewelry in an earlier incident.
The former Georgia Tech star is believed to be in Los Angeles and police say they hope he will turn himself in.

NHL 12 Update: EASHL Tidbits, New European Arenas Video, and Old News
Alright, well both of these little news tidbits come from yesterday, but I figured I?d let my recent HockeyFest announcement simmer for the time being, as nothing here is major news, so I figured it could wait a day. Anyway, EA has released a new short blog that consisted of a quick Q&A regarding a few of the new online features, all of which pertain to the EASHL. There was also a new video found on EA?s Swiss YouTube channel, which announced that a few European arenas are to be accurately featured in NHL 12. Then there is some older news, which EA reminded me of by reminding people about it on their NHL 12 FaceBook page. I would have already covered that older news, but it?s so old that it pre-dates my time here at KK.
UPDATE: 4 PM - A new video has just been released by EA featuring Wayne Gretzky talking about the Legends, although there is no new info here, aside from a clear shot of the front of the ?Legends Team? uniforms. The video has been included at the bottom of the post.

Okay, Sorry, Go Ahead And Yell, But We Can't Be The Only Ones Wondering Whether Derek Jeter's Breakup Is Why He's Suddenly Hitting So Well
We have no special insight here, but we can't help but speculate...
Earlier this season, New York Yankee superstar shortstop Derek Jeter was hitting like, well, an old man. And that's not surprising, given that, in pro-baseball terms, he is an old man (37).
But recently, Derek Jeter has suddenly been hitting the ball like a young buck again.
Yesterday, for example, he had three hits in the Yankees' record-setting slugfest. A few weeks ago, he had five hits in a game.
On the back of this slugging, Derek's average has climbed from old-man-dismal to ~.300. He is quieting talk that the Yankees were idiots to re-sign him last summer because he's ancient. And he's again looking like the amazing proto-Yankee captain who has led the Yankees to umpteen World Championships.
And for Yankee fans, that's AWESOME. You, go, Derek!
But. still, inquiring fans have been wondering why Derek has suddenly started hitting so well.
And we can't be the only ones who wonder whether it might have something to do with today's news—that Derek Jeter and his latest beautiful girlfriend, Minka Kelly, are splitting up.
Is the prospect of getting back out there suddenly making Derek feel like a young man again?
We feel like cads for even wondering it. But we can't be the only ones.

Friday Fabian? A little more about Red Wings try-out Fabian Brunnstrom
Via RedWingsFeed, it?s not exactly what you?d expect on a Friday night in August, but the Sporting News?s Craig Custance had a conversation with Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill about try-out Fabian Brunnstrom, who rebuffed several offers to play in the Swedish Eliteserien for the opportunity to either steal a job from one of the Wings? 14 forwards already under contract?or impress another potential employer?over the course of training camp and the exhibition season:
?I think he?s comfortable with our style of hockey, our players,? Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill told Sporting News. ?These guys come over and they have a couple years to make it?it?s like the clock is ticking and all of a sudden you?re like ?Oh, my time is up.??
That time is closing in for Brunnstrom. He?s coming off a season in which he played in 72 AHL games with the Texas Stars and Toronto Marlies. He had 15 goals and 20 assists.
