The instances of disregard for one’s own body keep on coming. Here’s a happy couple that decided to jump off a ramp while riding together on a bike. Bad move, kids. Even the safety instructions on the bike would tell you that’s a bad idea. Unfortunately for you, they would have told you in English. Thanks, BC and Don Chavez.
I like to pretend that I know more about MMA than I actually do, but since I didn’t watch the premeire of the 10th cycle of “The Ultimate Fighter,” here’s some opinion from around the blogosphere from a few friends that did.
My first thought always watching new seasons of The Ultimate Fighter is how many guys show up out of shape….Usually one or two guys show up physically unprepared, yet it looks like half the cast this season didn”t look in shape to fight. –Eric Gargiulo, Camel Clutch Blog.
As we saw in the preview, Kimbo Slice walks in after everybody else, and after Dana White gave him an introduction. Kimbo seems to not want to draw attention to himself, while Roy Nelson seems disappointed that he is not the biggest name in the room. –Maggie Hendricks, Cage Writer.
The tenth season also boasts three former NFL players trying to make their way in mixed martial arts. Though calling Matt Mitrione and Wes Shivers former NFLers is putting it generously. Mitrione, a former Purdue defensive tackle, got nine games with the New York Giants in 2002. Shivers, a 7th-round draft pick by the Titans, enjoyed a three-game NFL career with Atlanta. –TheBaker, Rumors & Rants.
The unquestionable highlight of the night was watching the feature bout between Abe Wagner and John Madsen. Madsen looked like one of the dudes that wasn’t in shape (whereas Wagner looked like he actually was), but Madsen’s physique seemed to improve as their match went on, as Madsen wasn’t the guy with the busted-open forehead. Honest Abe would get stitched up and finish the two-round bout and lose a unanimous decision. Video’s after the jump if you’re one of the people that didn’t eat breakfast this morning.

There’s something about the way people fight in these Latin American countries that just pisses me off. Somebody needs to go down and teach those how to roll up a fist and throw a punch. At least then they’d be able to HOLY BALLS DUDE YOU JUST GOT KICKED IN THE FACE! I never would have thought of a giant inflatable tunnel as a destination for violence, but I guess they just do things differently over there. Skip to the 0:30 mark if you’re in a hurry. I’m sure that felt even better with the other dude wearing soccer cleats. via.
Mia Hamm scored over 250 goals in her storied soccer career, but I can’t remember her ever drilling someone in the face. Certainly not over wonderfully ambient flute music. Seriously, watching the slow-motion replay of this is probable my favorite thing of the day. But to be fair, there wasn’t much competition from llama golf and Joe DiMaggio’s wang. If I could do this to my own kids, I would just have, like 29 of them. That’s a nice, round number. via.
UPDATE: Sexy reader Matt bring us a bonus headshot. “He shouldn’t have his head there…“
It looks like this video has made the rounds, but it’s new to me, and it features a rambunctious teen catching the front of an oncoming car with his mouth. You’re gonna have to trust me until you get to the replay. I’ve watched it like seven times already and it’s still cringe-worthy. I mean awesome. Yes, totally awesome. You really only need like 8 teeth to live a normal existence, anyway. If I get some time later, I’ll CG a skateboard in there, just to make sure we hit that 11-14 male demo. That’s important, ya know.
Hail Mary Jane put together an impressive collection of dudes injuring themselves on pogo sticks. I like to think of a pogo stick as a skateboard without wheels, but with handlebars. Enjoy all of the pogo failures over there; my favorites are here (plus one more after the jump). Read the rest of this entry »
