It’s the biggest event in mixed martial arts history, and for UFC 100, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is bringing out the big guns. Two championships will be on the line when UFC heavyweight title holder Brock Lesnar defends his crown against rival Frank Mir in their long-awaited grudge match, and UFC welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St-Pierre puts his belt up for grabs against Brazilian knockout artist Thiago “Pitbull” Alves. Also, The Ultimate Fighter coaches collide as Dan Henderson takes on Michael “The Count” Bisping in a pivotal middleweight showdown.
One of my favorite destinations on the barrier island. The Outer Banks Brewing Station has great beers that challenge the pallet and can give any seasoned beer drinker pause. We were very happy to catch up with the Brewmaster of said institution: Scott Mayer. We discussed all things beer and brewing and what it’s like to try and do it in such a remote location To read more about Scott and his place of work, visit him when you are in Kill Devil Hills and lift a pint. Of course until you can get away, why don’t you just click here.
So i’ve been walking around with a 24 hour erection since mid-july with the knowledge that Gears of War 2 was finally nearing release in these fine United States. It appears that I’m not the only one with a man crush on Marcus Feenix. The preorders for Gears 2 are going well. Very well in fact. So well that the only game in history that has made more money in preorders alone is Halo 2. And we are still weeks away from the game’s November 7th release date. In an interview with Gamepot, Cliff Bleszinski lies through his teeth and says that a third installment in the wildly popular franchise is not definate:
In a GameSpot interview published last week, Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski said, “If [Gears of War 2] comes out and sells like hotcakes and has great reviews, then we’ll consider doing another one.”
It appears as if the sales part of that equation will be fulfilled–and then some. This week, Microsoft confirmed that preorders for Gears of War 2 have surpassed those of the original Gears of War. The gap between the two games’ presale figures will only grow, given that the sequel still has more than three weeks left before its scheduled November 7 launch in the US.
The only way they don’t make a Gears of War 3 is if the Locusts actually emerge from the ground and start attacking humanity. They are printing money over there at Epic. The big story here is thath the economy is in the crapper, but games are still killing. We’re talking record profits. Microsoft is on the verge of having a great stable of exclusive games that are being released every year. Gears 2 this year, Bioshock 2 next year and Halo Recon whenever. Couple that with the announcment that Metal Gear Solid 4 is already in production for the 360, XBOX looks to be on the verge of taking over gaming. Sony has lost all their exclusives for the most part, and Microsoft is just further ahead in the next gen era. Get ready, meat shields. It’s about to be a brutal winter for the Locuts.
A first, third and sixth round pick for a loud mouth, malcontent, wide out…..WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE? A pussy QB that is out for 2 to 4 weeks for an injury that Steve Deberg played with. Their big play rookie running back is out for weeks on end as well. And the the least surprising news of the day, the fucking criminal punt returner fucks up and gets suspended like we all knew he would. So now what do you have? A team that’s in third place, that just lost to the ARIZONA CARDINALS and has a 40 year old quarterback and a defense like swiss cheese.
You reap what you sew, jack. You bring in douchebags and locker room cancers because they run a good 40 time, don’t be shocked when it bites you in the ass. Terrell Owens looks great with his shirt off, to be certain. Let’s see how he reacts to the aquisition of Roy Williams. Let’s see how Marion Barber does with no Julius Jones and Felix Jones. Let’s see how an immobile Brad Johnson fairs behind a line that got a nimble Tony Romo knocked out of action. Injuries can happen to anyone, that is really nothing that can be prevented. What can be prevented are huge distractions mucking up your locker room by signing problimatic players.
I saw Roy Williams play the Falcons when I went down to Atlanta. He wouldn’t even huddle up with his teammates. On the sidelines, he jawed with the fans the entire game. I think he’s talented and he isn’t the dick TO is, but he is an issue in the locker room, and the Cowboys already have plenty of those. Did you see all those picks they gave up for Williams? Snyder-like of them. It’s funny because they are bare bones in the secondary now, and missed on Shaun Alexander after the Jones injury, so the deal itself was not made out of necessity. So why was it made?
The Pac Man Jones deal is laughable. Did anyone NOT see this coming from this asshole? I hope TNA is still looking for wrestlers, because unless the Toronto Argonauts need a kick returner, he’s shit out of luck. I don’t think the raiders would even touch this guy. All of this nonsense gives ESPN an excuse to cover this shit team 24/7. I’m sure that makes them happier than a pig in shit. At least now they actually have something to talk about. I guess the ones suffering the most are the Cowboys fans. Don’t worry, bandwagoning mexicans. Nothing to be concerned about, fairweather Marylanders. Rest easy, front runners from Mesa. There are plenty of teams that haven’t won a playoff game in over a decade and can’t beat the Redskins at home. I think the Lions have some season tickets availible. Why don’t you try them? Maybe you can be GM.
What a night! Last night was the Ultimate Warrior Challenge at the Patriot Center in FairFax, VA. Our radio station was broadcasting live and covered the event, as it is the biggest local MMA show in the DC area. It was a fucking BLAST. I was lucky enough to be in the VIP area where lots of luminaries of the sport were swinging dicking it up. I felt like the chubby douche that I am down there with the important people, but it was still super cool. It was a little embarrasing when Urijah Faber saw me wearing the shirt he had given me THE DAY BEFORE. Nothing like saying “What’s up, Urijah Faber?” while you are wearing a Urijah Faber shirt that Urijah Faber gave you the day before. It would have been less gay if I just made a swipe at his cock and balls.
The WEC welterweight champion Carlos “The Natural Born Killer” Condit was at the fight also. He ended up being hilarious and way laid back. I don’t know what it is with these guys who could beat up most of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at the same time being really nice and cool, but they fucking are. Not only did Condit take pics and sign everything, but I saw more than one person ask him to get Urijah so they could take a picture, and he was totally cool about that also. I would thrown those kids in a triangle choke, if I knew how to perform it or what that was.
The fights themselves were fantastic. Lot’s of knockouts, lot’s of action, and a couple of barn burners. The big draws of the night: Mike “The Hulk” Easton and Antwain “The Juggernaut” Britt won. Britt won is quick, dramatic fashion; pounding the life out of his opponent in mear seconds. This dude is an F-ing monster. I know the light heavyweight division is stacked to the brim in the UFC, but Britt would not be outclassed by many of those fighters. On top of the fact that he was, of course, one of the nicest dudes you can ever meet. I was making out with his girlfriend and sister after the fight and he didnt even make me smack him for interrupting. I’m kidding of course. I had to heel hook him.
It wasn’t like I got to hang with these dudes because I host a lame radio show and write for a lame blog. Everyone at that place got to talk to these guys. They went to Chammps in Fair Oaks mall after the fight and hung out for hours. Everyone got a picture, everyone got a “thank you for coming out,” it was great to be a part of. I have met some cool athletes in my 29 or so years, but all the MMA fighters take the cake. Randy Couture wasn’t too impressed by my prowess, but other than that, they all rule. If I could kick ass, I would be horrendous to be around. Unlike how I am now, which is dainty and well versed. The point here is that Mixed Martial Arts is here to say, and the hallmark of a good sport is how entertaining it is to watch in person. Last nights UWC show proved that MMA can stand toe to toe with any major sporting event out there.
Bill Murray should be in everyone’s top 5 as far as comedic actors go. Stripes, What about Bob, Groundhog Day, The Life Aquatic, the list goes on and on. The one that goes outside the realm of comedy and turned into a cultural phenomenon would be “Ghostbusters.” The logo alone for the film is the second most recognized logo in the world second only to coca-cola. There have been several rumors reported here in the Fukerton about a third installment in this erection inducing franchise. This is the first time I have heard it from the horse’s mouth.
Bill Murray was doing some pub for this horrendous “City of Ember” movie he must have been tricked into being in. He’s Pete Venkman for Christ’s sake. In the interview, Bill shows that some one must have slipped him a mickey, because he claims that he wants a female Ghostbuster. He goes on to further prove my point that he was under the unfluence of something by claiming that there are lots of funny women out there. Where, exactly? Unless Lisa Lampanelli is strapping on a proton pack, I don’t know two many other cut-ups with vaginas walking around.
Murray goes on to say that he doesn’t know the guys that are writing the sequel. “Some guys from The Office” I believe is the quote. I don’t fucking get that. How many people watch The Office? Six million a week at most? How many people have seen a movie that Harold Ramis has written. Everyone on earth? Let’s stack up dollar figure in revenue. The Office, or Ghostbusters? The Office, or Analyze This? The Office or Caddyshack? The Office or Back to School? The Office or Stripes? The Office or FUCKING ANIMAL HOUSE????? GET WHAT I’M GOING FOR HERE????
Hollywood is so FUCKING stupid. They would rather have a 35 year old wearing a dress shirt under a tight sweater write GB3 than one of the GREATEST movie minds of our time. The Office is a fucking RIPOFF of a FUNNIER SHOW from ENGLAND!!!! FUCK THE OFFICE! I don’t want to see any of those turds or any of those fucking stoners from Judd Aptow’s crew ANYWHERE NEAR Ghostbusters. I would rather have 55 year old pudgy Busters putting Viggo back in the painting again, than Judd Aptow’s wife ruining another movie. Jesus Christ I feel like I’m talking crazy pills!
This is the greatest bed I have ever put eyes on. I would let Bob Sapp double team my girlfriend with Cheick Kongo to have one of these bad boys in my place. The issue would be, which side of the cage would James Irvin sleep on? Would Carlos Condit want to spoon? I think that Uriah Fabers hair would get in my mouth. The joke here would be that these are some of the toughest guys on the planet and I’m talking about having gay sex with them. I don’t know, I think it’s a hoot. Tapout has some of the coolest shit around but this really seems to take the cake. Read further, true believer.

The thing is over 1000 dollars, and that’s just for a double. If you want a queen size bed (I heard Robbie Lawler needs space) its over 1,200. Now for that type of cash you can by a life size Gears of War Lancer or replica Proton Pack. It’s going to be a tough choice how I want to piss my money away in this horrendous economy. It would no doubt ruin my life eventually when I lose my job like we all will, but at least I can practice my peruvian neck tie every night before I go to sleep. I may tapout to a comforter or a duvet, but I’ll look good doing it.
I’ve always thought so. Owning a firearm is not only legal, it’s yer civic duty as an American as far as I’m concerned. Robert A. Heinlein said: “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” Wise words. Don’t agree with them? Ask yourself this: if you were a criminal and you knew everyone on a certain block owned a firearm, would you break into those houses? No, you would go into Chicago or the District of Columbia where the local government does everything they can to deny you your constitutionally protected right to bear arms.
I love it when studies back up what I’ve always known. When respected Universities shoot down the culture of fear and ignorance that surrounds firearms. House frows and yentas that try and tell you that if you own a gun, you’re going to blow your foot off. At best. Well that doesn’t seem to be the case according to a study done by two different U’s of M
The University of Michigan and University of Maryland study also shows that tighter regulation of gun shows does not appear to reduce the number of firearms-related deaths. The researchers analyzed data from Texas and California, chosen because they are the nation’s two most populated states, have large numbers of gun shows, and are at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding gun show regulation. California has some of the most aggressive gun show regulations, including background checks for all gun show purchasers and a 10-day waiting period to obtain the firearm. Texas has no similar regulations.
“The absence of gun show regulations does not increase the number of gun-related deaths as proponents of these regulations suggest,” said Jacob, director of its Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP).
No shit? So places where people are educated about firearms and have more gun shows…have LESS crime? So when the commoners have the ability to shoot back at the bad guys it leads to less crime? That’s mind blowing. Really. It’s most likely all bunk. From some NRA publication right? Funded by Glock or Sig or Bushmaster? Oh wait, the article appeared Science Daily. Click and see for yourself. Anyone that wants to ban American citizens owning firearms needs to take a history lesson and a gun safety class. Or just lock the door, and hope they don’t have blasters.
The girl wearing this get up is a good egg. Gizmodo has a few more fap worthy pics. It is being dubbed the Geekini. I don’t much like the ascertaion. If I want to fuck a 300 pound chick wearing this thing, I’m a geek? Fuck that noise. I just have low standards and open sores. What’s wrong with that? Nothing, that’s what.
I’d like to go up, up, down, down on her. Get it? Then I’d bang her with 30 other guys. Get that too?
