Drug Tests Stand Between Mayweather and Pacquiao Mega-bout

The Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight hit an unexpected snag Tuesday. Mayweather's camp has asked for Olympic-style random drug tests during the weeks leading up to their March 13th fight, but Pacquiao has refused. Olympic style is more thorough than the Nevada Gaming Commission's tests, mostly because they examine the blood, urine and test more often.

According to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who is negotiating the deal with Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Pacquiao refuses to have his blood drawn within 30 days of the match because he is superstitious to testing so close to a fight. "Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn't want to do it so close to the fight," Schaefer said. "He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight." The sides will continue to work towards a solution that would close a deal for the biggest prize fight ever.

Camp Kelly Breeds Committment

If Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly wants to get his player's attention, Camp Kelly is one way to do it. Camp Kelly is a grueling offseason program that Kelly has implemented since his time at Central Michigan. The players report at 5am on Saturdays and participate in strenuous workouts designed to test the will of a player. They will engage in tug-of-war battles and flip over tractor tires, among other drills, until Kelly is satsified with their "level of committment."

"I can tell you this, it has no football applicability relative to skill development. So you go into it knowing you're not going to leave here a better receiver. But you're going to leave here a more committed receiver. That's Camp Kelly," he said.

Browns' President has 'Tough decisions' to Make

The Cleveland Browns are on a two-game win streak and have a new team president, Mike Holmgren. The question remains, does Holmgren see Eric Mangini, as the guy to take the Browns to the next level? "Those types of decisions, the tough decisions, sometimes they aren't fair," Holmgren said. "But I would do everything in my power to make sure it's the right one and that everyone gets a chance to prove themselves." Mangini will try to prove himself when the Browns face the Raiders and the Jaguars in their final two games of the season.
