Floyd Mayweather Reacts To Ronda Rousey’s Defeat...By Way Of 50 Cent
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, RHONDA ROUSEY And 50 CENT
Saturday night (November 14) Ronda Rousey took an L when she lost against Holly Holm, and since then, the In- ternet has been merciless against the talented, yet arro- gant UFC fighter.
The Internet has also been patiently waiting to hear from Floyd Mayweather, who Rousey has on numerous oc- casions taunted. For the most part, it appeared as if May- weather was taking the high road, refusing to delight in Rousey’s crushing defeat. But that doesn’t mean his on- again-off-again BFF 50 Cent wouldn’t indulge in a little Sunday pettiness.
A gander at Mr. Jack- son’s Instagram page, and users will see Fif posted a photo of Rousey laid out with an eyebrow raising caption.
When has Mayweather ever been afraid to speak his mind? Or do you think 50 Cent grew bored with bashing Vivica? #QuestionsThat- NeedAnswers
Derrick Rose Could Have Blurry Vision For Up To Three Months
DERRICK ROSE
CHICAGO -- Derrick Rose says he is feeling more comfortable on the floor as he continues to recover from a left orbital fracture, but Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg acknowledged Sun- day that Rose may be dealing with blurred vision for a few more months.
Rose suffered the fracture during the Bulls' first training camp practice Sept. 29. He's admitted there have been problems with double vision since having surgery Sept. 30.
"[The doctors] said it could be as long as three months," Hoiberg said. "But [the vi- sion] has continued to im- prove, and that's obviously a positive."
Rose has struggled to find a rhythm early in the season, averaging just 12.6 points -- down almost eight points per game from his career average.

LOS ANGELES -- Before Sunday night's game win against the Detroit Pistons at the Staples Center, Los Ange- les Lakers president and co- owner Jeanie Buss presented personalized Lak- ers jerseys to the three Amer- icans who thwarted a train terrorist attack in France in August.
Anthony Sadler, a life- long Lakers fan, wore a Lak- ers shirt on the day he and his two friends tackled and sub- dued a gunman aboard a high-speed passenger train bound for Paris.
"A lot of people felt that Anthony was a Lakers em- ployee," Buss said. "Lakers
nation felt very connected be- cause wouldn't it just be like someone involved with the Lakers to step out and be a leader? I heard so much from the fans that we had to do something special. So tonight we're doing something spe- cial."
Sadler wore the same Lakers shirt to Sunday's game.
"It's good luck," Buss said. "We need some good luck tonight."
Sadler, Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos met with Lakers star Kobe Bryant before the game.
"I'm starstruck right now," Sadler said.
Holly Holm Stuns Ronda Rousey With 2nd-Round Knockout
Ronda Rousey was the UFC's unstoppable force and the UCF women fighter who said she can beat Floyd Mayweather until Holly Holm used the former champion's aggression against her to produce one of the sport's biggest upsets.
Holm (10-0) jumped on the prone Rousey, deliver- ing several blows to her head before the referee intervened, ending Rousey's 12-fight unbeaten run and handing Holm the bantamweight title. Rousey chased Holm around the ring at UFC 193 on Sunday - looking for the right hold and taking head shots along the way - until Holm saw an opening 59 seconds into the second round and snapped a kick to the head that immediately dropped her more fancied opponent to the canvas.
An ecstatic Holm jumped around the ring while Rousey stayed on the canvas as she received medical treat- ment amid the roar of a stunned, record UFC crowd.
"She's won a lot of fights and imposed her will on a lot of fighters," Holm said. "So I expected her to be aggressive and impose her will on me.
"She had me on the cage for a minute and obviously

she was trying in for a take down right there ... she had a lot of things she was trying so I'm just glad I put in the prac- tice," she added.
Rousey, a former judo Olympian, was unbeaten through 12 UFC fights before meeting Holm, and a win would have been her seventh title defense. Instead, Holm, a 34-year-old veteran female boxer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, has the champi- onship belt.
Kings' DeMarcus Cousins To
Pay For Funeral Of Slain High
School Football Player
Sacramento Kings for- ward DeMarcus Cousins is trying to help the family of a slain high school football player by paying for the funeral, according to a Sacramento city official.
City council member Rick Jennings on Saturday confirmed to multiple media outlets that Cousins, who wanted his gesture to remain anonymous, wanted to take care of the funeral expenses for Jaulon Clavo, a Grant Union High School senior who was reportedly shot in the neck while driving with four other players.
According to reports, the 16-year-old Clavo, who was driving, was one of two play- ers hit when shots were fired at the car.
Cousins reportedly has attended Grant Union foot-

ball games, watching from the sideline, and has made donations to the inner-city high school in the past.
The gesture shows an- other side to Cousins, who made headlines last week after reportedly confronting Kings coach George Karl with a profanity-laced outburst. Cousins, who re- turned Monday after a four- game injury absence, apologized Wednesday for his actions.
