Look, we found the lady from the Spurs game!

She’s either spazzing out or possessed by a demon , But even the demon inside her couldn’t help her win !

Either/or. Hey Screaming Arm Wrestling Girl, you need to relax. Might I suggest less FitMax™? (via Bob’s Blitz)

Happy October 19th! Season 4 of NBC’s woefully-undersupported-by-anyone-without-a-Tumblr ‘Community’ begins tonight!

To celebrate, this week’s Sports On TV column looks back at the 20 greatest sports moments from the show’s first three seasons. It’s a confusing mass of spaceships and ‘Glee’ slams and paintball epics, and it’s absolutely worth revisiting and celebrating.

Here’s the best way to enjoy tonight’s premiere: read this column. Click the like button. Share it on Reddit or Facebook or Tumblr (especially Tumblr). Drop a comment in the comments section about your favorite episodes, moments, quotes and character pairings. Come up with a fun name for them (suggestion: StarPelt). Flip through the 20 greatest sports moments dozens of times over the next few hours. Then, totally forget that ‘Community’ actually comes on television and decide to watch it on Hulu tomorrow morning. Because guess what? That’s the only way ‘Community’ has ever worked.

Please enjoy ‘Community’s’ 20 Greatest, Streets Ahead Sports Moments.

A while back, some of the FilmDrunk Commentariat and I were helping one of the female commenters come up with a name for her new roller derby schtick, and this made us all very happy because we love any opportunity to come up with ridiculous puns. And we came up with a ton, including Machete White, Amelia Fearhart, and my favorite, Threata Van Sufferin. The point of today’s installment of Cool Story, Bro is that I’ve been introduced to a whole new amazing world of female name puns, thanks to the Collective of Lady Arm Wrestlers.

CLAW travels the country, performing at hipster theatres and such, putting on arm wrestling tournaments that involve 8 local women, who develop and perform different characters for the crowds and celebrity judge panels. And I’m so fascinated by the whole idea that I read an entire article on the NPR website about it. I know, I’m impressed, too.

Ron Artest, AKA Metta World Peace, is by all accounts – and I’m using a technical medical term here – out of his f*cking mind. Thankfully, though, he’s been a breath of fresh air during this NBA lockout with his ambitious efforts of being a “comedian.” Granted, most of his Twitter jokes don’t induce laughs as much as they cause crickets to chirp, but at least the guy is trying.

But as Pro Basketball Talk pointed out, Artest Tweeted the above idea the other day and it is the most refreshing idea that I’ve heard during this entire STUPID F*CKING NBA LOCKOUT. One owner, one player. One-on-one to determine the fate of the lockout. If the owner wins, they all get 53% like they’re currently asking. If the player wins, his side gets 53% like they wanted. I know he says 70% but let’s be real. Besides, who wouldn’t want to watch this?

When I say the name Bobby Leroy Hopkins Jr. I assume that everyone instantly thinks of the champion arm wrestler, because it should just be common sense. Unfortunately, this American hero had a run in with the law over the weekend after his black Infiniti was associated with a possible domestic disturbance in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Cops confronted the competitive strongman and as they tried to put him in cuffs, Hopkins became enraged, turned his hat backwards and tried to head butt the officers.

When all was said and done and the Kenny Loggins song had ended, Hopkins had dug himself a pretty nice hole.

Hopkins, who deputies said stands 6 foot 2 and weighs about 275 pounds, reportedly struggled against being handcuffed. The arrest report quotes him as yelling, “I’m a champion arm wrestler, I can bench press 600 pounds. I’m gonna kick all your [backsides] out.”

Deputies reported using two sets of handcuffs on Hopkins, who was charged with felony resisting arrest with violence. Misdemeanor charges of domestic battery; simple assault on a law officer; and four counts of misdemeanor resisting arrest without violence were also filed against Hopkins, according to the arrest report. (Via Orlando Sentinel)

The report doesn’t indicate if Hopkins has a previous record, but attacking a cop is usually the best way to get some jail time. It is also unknown if Hopkins and the woman he struck have any children, but Robert Loggia has been called just in case.

An arcade game in Japan called "Arm Spirit" that pits players against the machine in an arm wrestling battle has been recalled after three people suffered broken arms.

"We think that maybe some players get over-excited and twist their arms in an unnatural way," a spokesman said… "The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it."

Arm Spirit gamers advance through 10 levels, pitting their strength against a French maid, a drunken martial arts master and a Chihuahua dog before reaching the final challenge – a professional wrestler.

I would have thought the final challenge would be something like a school girl in a plaid skirt and pigtails.  If the player can keep his arm engaged in wrestling and doesn't stop to masturbate, he wins.  

While it's certainly unfortunate that everyone's fun has to be interrupted due to a couple of noodle-armed nancies, at least the popular subway-groping game is still available.
