NO AMOUNT OF TIME CAN MAKE IT ANY BETTER!

As a San Francisco Policeman for near a decade, I was put in some situations that would tax your emotions to the point where you just felt like crying yourself! Giving a Mother the news her child is dead, or having somebody pass away in front of you, this can be both mind-blowing and life altering. Having not been of that mindset since 1988, I thought the sickened feeling that can only be mustered by an unexpected death, that it had left me. After a Saturday morning conversation with Max Kellerman , I can tell you I was wrong!

WEEPING MAX BEYOND DISTRAUGHT OVER SAM!

It had been six days since younger brother Sam Kellerman had been found dead in his southern California apartment, Max Kellerman, the FOX TV host, he sounded as if he had been crying since. Speaking as if his world had come to an abrupt end, Max admitted. "He was my best friend, my heart. Pedro, it was all about us, me and Sam growing old together. I don’t want to believe it." Other parts of the conversation remain personal. In regards to the Funeral for the 29-year old freelance Journalist Sam Kellerman, Max says it’ll, "Probably not be for the public." In between sobs, Max said if anybody would like you can make a donation in Sam’s name to the "National Yiddish Book Center" of Massachusetts.

KELLERMAN FAMILY NOW "TORTURED FOR LIFE!"

Having had somebody in the LAPD describe the actual crime scene to me, it was reminiscent of the Sharon Tate Murders that were orchestrated and carried out by Charles Manson & his family. Evidently professional boxer James Butler , the lone suspect in the case, he brutally beat Sam to death. And in some sick attempt to mask what had actually taken place, the 30-year old Butler set the Los Angeles apartment on fire before fleeing the scene in Kellerman’s car Sunday.

"TOSSED SALAD MAN" & LETHAL INJECTION NOT ENOUGH!

I thought long and hard for a word that could define a person like James Butler, one that could best describe a human being so savage that could perpetrate such a violent and heinous act, and I simply could not! As for the Penalty and a " Lethal Injection," this would not enough for this MF’er! I only hope Max can feel some satisfaction in watching the look on Butler’s mug on the day when they will stick that needle (AKA "Lethal Injection" ) in James Butler’s arm!

YOKO BRINGS SHANE INTO HER LITTLE GAME!

For all of you that have been slamming Jen Mosley on various "Message Boards" and the like for her acting like an " Asia-bo ," (Asian bimbo) she’s not done! Of all the things posted on the Net, a number of them call into question Shane Mosley’s inability to control Yoko. In fact, she is throwing some lame contest in an attempt to berate yours truly and Steve Kim of www.MaxBoxing.com because we have both pointed out her position of that of a dominatrix in the husband-wife relationship with Shane.

RINGSIDE SEATS, DINNER, & TALK TO AN ASIA-BO TOO!

Some of the great prizes include a dinner with Jen & Shane for Q & A. If I won, this would be my first question to Shane that I’m sure would be answered by Jen/Yoko: "Since you guys got together, Shane has yet to really win a fight. He’s had one controversial win with Oscar, three losses, and a No Contest. So Yoko, can you tell me what positive effect you’ve had on Shane’s career? I mean besides a surprise pregnancy, Yoko’s getting into pissing contests with people who she is a dwarf to intellectually, giving Jack Mosley the boot, and making a fool out of yourself in the Mandalay Bay Casino eatery, those are the accomplishment of one Jen Mosley!

DAVE MELTZER SAYS "SHANE LOOKED LIKE A STEROID GUY!"

The www.WrestlingObserver.com’s Dave Meltzer is considered by many to be an expert on "Steroids," their use, and especially in the business of Professional Wrestling that he covers. That being said, Meltzer didn’t say Shane was on Steroids, rather he said. "In his last fight, Shane sure looked like a guy that had come off of Steroids. The lack of aggression, and some other things. But that’s what I was thinking during the "Winky" Wright fight, that this is a guy coming off of Steroids."

FBI WAS SURE "SHANE WAS ON DA’ "CLEAR" ROID OINTMENT!

When this whole Steroid scandal broke involving Balco Labs, several baseball and football players, in addition to one professional boxer Shane Mosley, the second Mosley- Oscar De La Hoya II scrap had occurred a fortnight prior. Bursting into the Nevada Athletic Commission office with a "Warrant" for Shane Mosley’s "Urine Sample" taken after the De La Hoya fight, the Federal guys were convinced that Shane was using undetectable "Designer" Steroids in preparation for Oscar II. But Shane’s test had been routinely destroyed a week prior, this after it had come back clean without any knowledge that TGH even existed!

BALCO RECORDS SUGGEST MOSLEY GIVEN "CLEAR!"

Two sources close to the Balco probe have reported that Shane Mosley’s name was on a list of athletes that was said to have been given the " Designer Steroid TGH," that at the time was totally undetectable. If things go as I think, and it eventually it turns out that Shane did take Steroids, all I can say is that it hasn’t done him much good seeing Mosley hasn’t convincingly beaten somebody in almost three years!

"SO LONG CHRIS COATS" PARTY IN FRISCO WEDNESDAY!

A get together of sorts for the recently passed Christopher Coats will take place Wednesday in San Francisco. An "Associate Editor" for Ring Magazine 20 years ago, Coats died last month after years of fighting the bottle. The 58-year old Coats will be remembered at the "North Beach Restaurant" on Stockton St. in San Francisco Wednesday at 7:30 PM.
