WWE’s Brock Lesnar lost his first UFC fight, amassed a 5-3 record, got a terrible case of diverticulitis and was retired back into pro wrestling via TKO helplessness by Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem. Because of this, 5-time champion Randy Couture believes Lesnar deserves a spot alongside him in the UFC Hall of Fame. Wait, sorry, I think I copy-pasted that in wrong.
Stuntman Gary Connery fell 2400 feet onto 18,600 cardboard boxes to break the world’s record for Skydiving Without A Parachute. In a related story, I can’t get down a flight of steps without tripping and nearly killing myself. (via Beantown Banter)
- Thanks for your patience with this week’s report. The Monday Night Raw Watch Party II at The ND this week was a big success, but the downside is that it makes me watch Raw twice and generally F’s the scheduling in the A. The fill-in Over The Limit report didn’t work out as planned, so at the risk of having you guys be all Royal Rumble 2012 about it, that report is pending.
- Please make sure to leave a comment on the report. Facebook likes and Twitter shares are huge. These take forever to write, so if you want me to keep them up instead of just posting basketball videos like a normal popular sports blog should, do your part.
- Thanks to Casey for pics and gifs, as always. Can’t wait to BRO IT UP with you at King of Trios this year.
There isn’t much to do when you’re the creative director of a Madden game (“okay, this year I think we’re gonna make it look like football”), so EA Sports’ Mike Young has spent the last few weeks tweeting about the amazing new features set to debut in Madden NFL 13, such as Tim Tebow being able to Tebow.
Still no word on whether or not planking and Batmanning will make the cut, but earlier today @EAMaddenNFL dropped the first official image of Tim Tebow Tebowing in a New York Jets uniform in the end zone at MetLife. If you were gonna get excited about this at some point, now’s your chance.
As Weed over at Sportress notes, being able to Tebow won’t matter if you can’t assign the pose to whichever linebacker murders him. Or the ability to Tebow via Kinect. Maybe the Wii version will have a mini-game where you run to the 50 yard line and do it, who knows.
We’re running another fantasy baseball game this week with our pals from FanDuel.com, and if you haven’t been won over by the ability to win cash in free games or toss in a few bucks and win a few hundred making me look like a chump, hold on to your butts.
The FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship consists of 15 Friday qualifying tournaments that are only $10 to enter. Each weekly tournament has over $3000 in prizes, but if you win one of the 15 qualifying tournaments, you and a friend win an all expenses paid trip to the Palazzo in Las Vegas the weekend of July 28 & 29. There, the 15 finalists will compete for $250,000 in cash prizes in a one-day fantasy baseball game with the winner taking home $100,000. Again, it’s only $10 to enter and you can enter as many teams as you want.
Yo dawg, I heard you like fantasy games in your fantasy games
But no, seriously, for this week’s game you can sign up for only $10 and end up winning $100,000. That is insane. I’m counting on a Jimmy from The Wizard style run here to send me to the championships. CALIFORRRRRNIA.
By the end of this video, you will be well aware of with whom jiggy has been gotten — in the spirit of Top 21 Frisbee Trick Shots and Johnny Mac Trick Shot Quarterback comes Nick DiChiara Long Snap Trick Shot Video, wherein the Nick DiChiara of the BB&N High School Class of 2012 long-snaps a football to close lockers, block lay-ups and throw out a guy stealing third.
The full court shot (pictured above) is especially impressive. The full video, courtesy of DiChiara himself, is after the jump.
