UFC Undisputed Video Game Results -FFC 2

Hello friends -UFC 100 is in the books and so is my Xbox 360 UFC Undisputed
(Filth Fighting Championship) "FFC 2 "Second to None"

And what a night it was. Once again held at the Pittsburgh Events Center. (My 2 bedroom Apt.) This card was filled with big names and the audience (my sofa) filled with big losers like, Roger Clemens, Ricky Rubio, Brody Jenner, Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson’s kids even Blanket, Magic Johnson who ordered grilled chicken, Larry Merchant who was apparently lost, Vince the Shamwow guy, Gina Carano, Kim Couture and Cyborg. Kim and Gina stayed for the after party, Cyborg bench pressed Brock Lesnar, Ricco Rodriguez and his gut, Jon without Kate and 8 dates, Bristol Palin, Vince McMahon, Lita, a bunch of people in tight Fight Gear T-Shirts and real orange skin, Some white skin dudes from “True Blood”, wannabe porn stars, retired ring girls and of course Michael Clarke Duncan and Criss Angel.

The National Anthem was sung by Roseanne Barr

Penguins Prospect Eric Tangradi Interview

FF Exclusive Interview With Eric Tangradi
Jesse Marshall | Interviews (Faceoff Factor Exclusives)
When the Penguins traded Ryan Whitney just before the deadline last year, they didn’t just get Chris Kunitz, they nabbed Belleville prospect Eric Tangradi, who instantly became the best power-forward in the Penguins system. After suffering a horrible wrist injury at the end of the season, Tangradi is set to head to camp this year with a chance to turn some heads and make the team. If not, he’ll head to Wilkes-Barre, where his power-forward show will be on the pro circuit for the first time. We caught up with Eric this past week as he continued training for this fall.

Jesse Marshall: First off, how is the wrist feeling and how is rehab going?

Eric Tangradi: I’m currently in my 7th week following my surgery and am now going through physical therapy. I was recently cleared two weeks ago to start workouts and the battle now is just regaining all the lost strength in my wrist and hand. Rehab is going as planned and I am taking small steps every week.

Corporate Logos on WNBA Game Jerseys

Branded Jerseys Come to the WNBA

Corporate logos are already on NASCAR firesuits and on MLS shirts, so when will the mainstream leagues allow teams to sell space on jerseys?

If Monday's announcement by the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury is any indication, it might be coming sometime soon.

On Monday, the Mercury will announce that it has signed a deal with LifeLock, the identity theft protection company, to feature the LifeLock name on the front of its jerseys and warmups through the 2011 season.

Lifelock — which is based in Tempe, Ariz. — will also receive in-arena signage and branding on the court and will activate its sponsorship by offering a complimentary membership (valued at $110 each) to all WNBA season ticket holders.

Over the years, we've seen plenty of leagues embrace corporate jersey sponsorship from European soccer to Major League Soccer in this country to the Arena Football League.

...But aside from the Reebok logos that appear on the front of NFL jerseys and on the back of NHL jerseys, the major sports leagues haven't allowed teams to sell jersey space to corporate America.

Did Steeler James Harrison Bite his Own Son?

Investigators: Increasingly Likely That James Harrison Bit Own Son

FRANKLIN PARK, PA—Police detectives investigating an alleged dog-bite injury to James Harrison III, the son of Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison, said that recent evidence suggests the linebacker became agitated by the toddler's crying last Wednesday and bit the child himself.

Did Steeler James Harrison Bite his Own Son?

"After carefully piecing together testimony from people at the scene, we believe witnesses were trying to protect Mr. Harrison, who after all is a creature of instinct and may not be responsible for his actions," Officer Mark Bendiger told reporters. "If that turns out to be the case, the legal liability will actually rest with Harrison's handlers. Linebackers can be an aggressive breed, and we've seen plenty of examples of how poorly trained and badly socialized James is in particular." James III is almost completely recovered and has been released from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, while his father has been quarantined at Animal, Linebacker, and Wide Receiver Control of McKees Rocks, PA.

Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin Should Drop the Puck in Stanley Cup

CORAOPOLIS, PA -Okay, so Pittsburgh fans are both pissed and amused by it's former football leader taking the reins of the Carolina Hurricanes Siren and donning red and waving a white Carolina towel.

Well, I don't know if the NHL does a ceremonial dropping of the puck for the Stanley Cup Finals but if they do I am calling for the Pittsburgh Penguins organization to ask Current Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin drop the puck in game 3 in Pittsburgh.

He is a huge Pens fan and was present last year and this year in Mellon Arena for the playoffs. He wears a Sidney Crosby sweater to the games and what a better way to stick it back in Bill Cowhers ribs than to send the message that Mike Tomlin is the new sheriff in town.

ESPN's Brian Kenny Goes the Distance with Boxer Floyd Mayweather.

This is fantastic stuff. I am late in posting this and you may have already see this ESPN television interview between Brian Kenny and Boxer Floyd Mayweather.

I am a huge, huge, Brian Kenny fan. He has been around but is on the rise this year and will be a big player at ESPN as his role is now getting bigger. I personally believe he will achieve the Dan Patrick status that Patrick left behind. He now has his own espn radio show and i just love it. He is always positive and has fun and knows his stuff and is not afraid of the hard question. His radio show is truly enjoyable to listen. The Tirico and Van Pelt radio time slot will be Kenny's by years end. I have been a Brian Kenny fan for about two years and i just thought you would like to see this video of him and Mayweather going at it. Kenny holds his own and goes the distance with Floyd and I love how Floyd insults Kenny and Kenny is unfazed and just laughs. I meant that is a real pro not get pissed at an insult and turn the interview around. Kenny had questions and he asked them and argued them. he did not let Floyd Mayweather rattle him. Just fantastic stuff. Enjoy.
