Lance Cade, who is a reader/listener of our site/show and has stayed in contact with us since our tremendous December 2008 interview, has asked that we put out a statement on his behalf discussing his status with TNA and to clear up some of the misconceptions that have been discussed online over the past few weeks.

This is a paraphrased version of what he told us from Japan:

“There’s been two sides of the story and neither is fully accurate. People confused me not teaming with Trevor meaning that I don’t have a desire to compete in TNA which is false. It was as simple as me having an obligation in Japan where I have been working full time since December 2008. I will NEVER go against my word. When my obligations over here are finished up, and the moon and stars are aligned, there is a good chance that TNA could be where I call my future home either singles or along side my friend Trevor Murdoch.

As far as the comment of me saying we won 3 world tag team championships with WWE and there’s not much left to do as a team… That is part true. The part that’s true is there’s nothing left for us to do in the WWE as a team! I am not a mark for Lance Cade don’t care about winning “x” amount of titles. It’s a work and doesn’t represent me in how good I or anyone else really are. There is still plenty for us to do… Win TNA’s championships, give them a new team that can work with anyone and doing the same over here in Japan.

I want my side to be heard because I don’t want anyone to think I am not interested in TNA or that I have anything except respect and admiration for Trevor Murdoch.”

There you have it, straight from Lance Cade’s mouth… Or, darn close to it!

Steven Pienaar and Marouane Fellaini added to Sunderland’s woes as Everton eased themselves into fifth place in the Barclays Premier League.

Pienaar fired the visitors in front three minutes after the restart and then set up Fellaini to clinch victory 19 minutes from time with the Black Cats succumbing with barely a whimper.

Danny Collins might have levelled with a 50th-minute header, but could only direct the ball straight at goalkeeper Tim Howard, who otherwise had little to do at the Stadium of Light.

Defending European champions United found visiting goalkeeper Manuel Almunia in blistering form at Old Trafford, where he denied Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez with several stunning saves on Wednesday night.

The Spaniard first clawed Rooney’s looping header off Bacary Sagna to safety, then pulled off a fantastic one-handed save to keep Tevez’s close-range strike out.

But the Gunners stopper was beaten on 18 minutes, when Michael Carrick’s left-flank cross was clinically half-volleyed into the roof of the net by John O’Shea.

Almunia was in the thick of things again with a superb double save before the half-hour mark, first denying Ronaldo’s header at the far post and then parrying the Portugal star’s stinging 20-yard effort.

Cesc Fabregas tested Edwin van der Sar on 27 and Emmanuel Adebayor fired the visitors’ best chance of the night narrowly over the bar on 63 - but it was nearly 2-0 to United on 69, when Ronaldo’s 30-yard piledriver beat Almunia but crashed against the crossbar.

Ryan Giggs came off the bench for his 800th United appearance and thought he had scored with 12 minutes left, only to be denied by an offside flag after rounding Almunia and coolly tapping into an empty net.

Gunners substitute Nicklas Bendtner headed a fine late chance over the crossbar in the dying minutes - but it is Spanish custodian Almunia who has given Arsene Wenger’s men hope of marching on to Rome when the two teams go head to head once again in the second leg in London on Tuesday, 5th May.

STUTTGART, Germany — Fourth-seeded Victoria Azarenka defeated Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1 6-4 Monday in the opening match of the Porsche Grand Prix, the first match to be played on indoor clay on the WTA tour.

The tournament used to be played in October on carpet but has now been moved to April, with the same surface that is used at next month’s French Open, only indoors.

Azarenka dominated with her powerful ground strokes, especially in the first set, and eased into the second round. There were no other matches scheduled Monday.

“I made some errors in the second set,” Azarenka said.

She is looking for her fourth title of the year. Azarenka, who is ranked No. 8 in the world, has won three of her last five tournaments — in Brisbane, Memphis and at the Miami Masters.

Azarenka’s victims include the two most recent top-ranked players, Serena Williams and Dinara Safina, who took over the top spot one week ago.

Six of the top 10 players are in the field, but Serena and Venus Williams opted to skip the tournament.
