Retirement looms as Takanohana misses 7th straight tourney

Yokozuna Takanohana will stay out from the upcoming Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament in a record seventh straight absence because of the slow recovery of a knee injury, sumo officials said Thursday

Steve, you're in the neightborhood, right?

I can't imagine Takanohana making Daihatsu commercials... Konishiki is awesome. :wink:

Takanohana is an ass and it`s time for him to retire. 7 missed tournaments?! They usually start pushing for retirement after 3 or 4.

Perhaps. But it looks even worse if he`s not living up to the title. I think we`ll see him step down before long.

Hey, nobody can beat MC Konishiki when he's on the microphone. That boy has some phat rhymes. :roll:
