There's a reason why NFL wide receivers have become full divas in the league. But the quite opposite of divas...UFC fighters are confused about their roles in fighting, and are fearful for their jobs. Who would've thunk? Throw that in with NBA trades and signings heating up, and we should have a pretty eventful weekend ahead of us....I hope. Ariza...Lakers of Cavaliers? Arest...Lakers...
