I swear we’re not trying to trend towards 24/7 MMA talk, but this was too good to pass up. According to this article on The Scrapyard (which is apparently the Toxic Avenger’s official blog), former platinum selling rapper slash current convict DMX (real name Earl Simmons) will make his MMA debut December 12th against some [...]

WWE was in Boston last night
If I had any idea the WWE machine was stopping in at the TDBank Garden last night, I would’ve bought front row seats (how expensive can they be?). Unfortunately, I’ve been out of the wrestling loop for quite some time, so imagine my surprise when I saw this photo gallery of the “Smackdown” taping in [...]

Kimbo fights tonight, place your bets now
Kimbo Slice makes his much anticipated “Ultimate Fighter” debut tonight at 10 p.m. on Spike (well, in the octagon at least), as he takes on MMA veteran Roy “Big Country” Nelson. Roy talked a bunch of shit last week, so this should at least be interesting. My money’s on Kimbo, not because I know anything [...]

Sox back into playoffs, thanks Texas
They do things bigger in Texas they say, sorta like the huge shit the Rangers took on their playoff chances over the last few weeks. Thanks to Texas’ sucktitude, the Red Sox clinched the AL Wild Card last night despite losing to the Jays in sorta-dramatic fashion, 8-7. Clay Buccholz finally hit the wall after [...]

That’s just Riggs being Riggs
Here’s a photo of Mel Gibson in his new movie The Beaver (would I lie to you?), doing something with a puppet. There’s a bunch of pics of Mel up on dlisted, and Slashfilm also has a report on it. Apparently, the storyline goes something like “Mel’s a CEO of some toy company that’s going [...]

KG ready to bust skulls
Today’s big news out of Celtics Media Day came courtesy of no other than Kevin Fucking Garnett. KG pronounced himself close to 100% healthy and is ready to make the rest of the Eastern Conference go ass-to-mouth this season (including LeBron and Shaq, which should give you a nice mental image…right…about…now). According to Dan Duggan [...]

USC RB drops weight on throat mid rep
EDIT: This isn’t the actual video, it’s just kind of awesome. UPDATE: So apparently this was pretty serious surgery for a crushed larynx, so I’m apparently going to hell for this post. Johnson is expected to make a full recovery, but he is not expected to play again this season. In all seriousness, good luck [...]

What the shit is going on? [...]

Platinum Dunes releases Nightmare remake trailer
Platinum Dunes released the first teaser trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake today, and as far as teasers go, this one shows a lot and is actually pretty damn good. That’s one skill I think that the PD guys have in their pockets, they know how to make a goddamn trailer. Go on [...]
