Pacquiao VS Mosley Weigh in Results and Staredown

Sports Illustrated reports that CBS and commentator Gus Johnson have ended a 16-year professional relationship after failing to come to terms on a new contract.

Johnson, who is most famous for his incredibly excitable coverage of March Madness and the NFL, will still call Saturday's fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley for Showtime pay-per-view.

I have not been kind, to say the least, in my assessment of Gus Johnson's abilities when it comes to calling boxing, and mixed martial arts fans argue that he's even worse calling the Strikeforce events, also for Showtime/CBS. Personally, this is good news for me as far as Johnson no longer being the lead voice of Showtime's bigger boxing events, but it's not like I'm happy that he's out of a job or anything. And there are no doubt a great many sports fans who felt Gus was a huge part of March Madness and will miss him in that role.

Hines Ward Held At Gunpoint, Handcuffed In Police Misunderstanding

LOS ANGELES — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Hines Ward was briefly detained at gunpoint Thursday in a mix-up over a reported stolen car, but he was released without being arrested, police said.
Hines and a woman friend were stopped in her car at about 1:30 a.m. in North Hollywood because she had reported the car stolen on April 19, said Sgt. Maria Morrison.
"She had gone somewhere, misparked it, reported it stolen and found it later" but failed to cancel the police report, Morrison said.
Hines cooperated with police while he was detained, she said.
The woman's name wasn't released, but she isn't Hines' partner on "Dancing With the Stars," Morrison said.
