Plaxico Burress pulls a Cheddar Bob…shoots himself in the leg

2 12 2008

I’m glad the dude is okay. You can’t help but laugh when trying to imagine what could have been going on the moment Plax Cheddar Bob’d. I’m pretty anxious for details to emerge in this one. Seems like the majority of all this off-the-field b/s involves wide receivers and DB’s. Hmm… this is the first ‘one’ he caught since week 11.





Dana White goes off on EliteXC…

5 11 2008

And rightfully so. I share the same sentiments if it’s true that Shaw and Elite may have tampered with the fight. I love White for not holding back. RIP EliteXC.





Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

4 11 2008

I’ve read some comments on Youtube criticizing the concept for this game. To me it seems like a pretty fresh idea. It has a 22 fighter roster with the DC characters having the ability to perform “brutalities” in contrast to the infamous MK fatalities. It drops mid-late November. I’m looking forward to peeping Batman getting his head ripped off.

Phillies fan takes bottle of Goose to the dome…

2 11 2008

 

I’ve seen some pretty crazy rioting footage from Wednesday night following the Phillies’ World Series victory. This one easily tops all of it single handedly. Note: the ironic tee-ball homerun like sound it makes :-)





UFC ring girl Rachelle Leah to do Playboy…

16 08 2008

She did a spread back in 2006 but didn’t take it all off. This time around she’ll be bare assed. Yes! Her issue is scheduled to drop around November so be on the lookout. Also cross your fingers for Arianny to follow Rachelle’s lead.





UFC 87: Seek & Destroy…

9 08 2008

One of the best cards of the year takes place tonight in Minnesota. GSP defends his belt against the multi talented Jon Fitch while Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta will face off in what will likely be fight of the night. Above, Luke Cummo and Tamden McCrory look to put on a show in the Revenge of the Nerds match. Haha, just clowning but I thought these weigh-in pics were a riot. My picks bolded:

Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring
Roger Huerta vs. Kenny Florian
Manny Gamburyan vs. Rob Emerson
Demian Maia vs. Jason MacDonald

Danny Way X-Games Big Air crash…

2 08 2008

Last year it was Jake Brown. This year’s big air competition saw another pretty gnarly spill. It looked like he was about 20 feet above the ramp and came down and clipped his shins on the coping which flipped him over. He’s lucky the slope of the ramp took away some of the impact. Believe it or not he got up and threw down a run that almost won him gold until Bob Burnquist came along. Ballsy dude.





Turntable Watch by Flud Watches…

30 07 2008


I thought this Karma Loop ”Tables Turn” watch by Flud Watches was pretty nifty. It comes in Gun Metal (as pictured), Steel and Gold. Leather and steel bands are also optional. Perfect gift for that special DJ. Click the image for a direct link to Flud Watches courtesey of Karma Loop.





Dissizit x Crooks & Castles – Snake eyes…

30 07 2008

Found this collaboration tee browsing the new arrivals over at Become Fitted. You don’t see a shirt with two different clothing companies’ logos too often. I guess this is one exception. Dissizit and Crooks and Castles teamed up to design this medusa-ish “snake eyes” print covering the majority of the front. On each sleeve is the Dissizit “D” inside the Crooks “c-chain.” The back also features more Dissizit x Crooks art.





Cotto vs. Margarito lives up to hype…

28 07 2008

All I can say is damn! I rank Saturday’s welterweight showdown between Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto as fight of the year easily and definately in my top 5 of best fights I’ve ever witnessed live. Tony Margarito is an absolute machine! Cotto landed clean, hard ass punches all night that didn’t phase Tony one bit. He just kept coming forward until the pressure finally got to Cotto.  To watch the full fight, use this link: http://www.justin.tv/sportinwood/174474/Miguel_Cotto_vs_Antonio_Margarito





Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito Link…

26 07 2008

Tonight’s fight is being dubbed matchup of the decade by many. Two of the busiest and toughest fighters in boxing today. The Mexico-Puerto Rico rivalry helps a bit too. It would be a smart idea to check it out either tonight or next week when HBO replays it for free. I’ve also done plenty of searching for links and come up with a few leads. First check http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=15519&part=sports every hour or so as they update which online TV players (Sopcast, TVU, etc) are playing it and which channel to tune into. Also, I’ve been told that the following links will stream the fight live so check them out around fight time.

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski announced…

24 07 2008

Affliction just confirmed that Arlovski and Fedor will headline their October 11th show in Las Vegas. I like how their organization has a 3 month break in between events. Gives them time to stack the card and give viewers some time to get excited rather than to have events one or two times per month. Both and Andrei made some serious bank at Banned.

Fedor Emelianenko: $300,000 (no win bonus) (Rumor is he earned $1.5 mill)
def. Tim Sylvia: $800,000
Andrei Arlovski: $750,000 (includes $250,000 win bonus)
def. Ben Rothell: $250,000





Affliction: Banned & Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin results…

20 07 2008

Topping off a great night of fights were quick and impressive wins for the headliners of both cards, Anderson Silva and Fedor Emelianenko. About a minute into round 1, Silva caught an Irvin low kick with his left hand and used his right hand to put Irvin on his ass for good. In the Affliction event, Fedor came out aggressive with a flurry of rights and lefts that put Sylvia on the canva before locking in a rear naked around 30 seconds into the fight. Pretty good debuts for Silva at 205 and Affliction. For full results of both cards and to watch all the fights, hit up www.mmalinker.com.
