Source: Alison Brie Still Adorable - I love ‘Community’, but every time I see her now I just wish ‘Mad Men’ was back. [Warming Glow]

Lebron James, Dwyane Wade & Friends Show #BasketBallNeverStops In Miami All-Star Game - The Westboro Baptist Church should try to get LET US PRAY trending. I think I like them more than I like the Miami Heat. [Smoking Section]

UFC Weekend Gif Round-up - UFC always works better for me in gif form, I don’t know why. One day I’m just gonna wake up like, “oh, right, I LIKE watching people get punched in the face for real”. [Cage Potato]

Monday PM Hot Clicks - Sending a link to the entire post because 1) the Were-Bear video is hilarious and awesome, and 2) you should see that new Buffalo Bills song video, but not here. Because holy sh*t it is terrible. [Hot Clicks]

The Best And Worst Of WWE Raw 10/3 - Linking this here so you’ll have something positive to read about wrestling today. [With Leather]

The Best Of #Phil Dunphy - Hopefully a gif of him railing that lady from behind in Dawn Of The Dead is in here somewhere. [UPROXX]

Sunday School: Rating The NFL’s Week 5 Performances As Action Figures - I’m sad that M.A.S.K. had to be illustrated. I used to have the big Kings Dominion looking mountain gas station playset and everything. Muh muh muh mask. [SBN]

5 Online College Courses for Comic Book Fans - I feel like ART and ENGLISH should be in here, but I guess Rob Liefeld and Judd Winick didn’t need them, so why should fans? [Gamma Squad]

Woman Sues Drive For Not Being Enough Like Fast and Furious - I wish I could go back and do this to movies I hated. I want to sue Slackers for not being enough like Caddyshack. [Film Drunk]

Christina Aguilera And Axl Rose Are On The Same Diet, Apparently - Holy crap. In what world did Britney Spears suddenly win? [UPROXX]

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at Occupied Wall Street - I don’t know about those crates of peanut butter, but the rice and bean plate looks pretty great. [Buzzfeed]

Who Killed the Graphic Designer? Revisiting a Strange Trend in the Movie Posters of 1985 - The best part of this link is that there is literally no commentary, just a bunch of similar movie posters. Couldn’t you have at least added a “hey, look at Michael J. Fox you guys” under the Teen Wolf poster? [Pajiba]

Just Like The Angry Birds Soccer Video, Only Angrier And With Fewer Birds

Written by Brandon Stroud / 10.07.11

ufc-soccer-kickoff-challengeYesterday, we shared with you a viral video of two soccer players recreating ‘Angry Birds’ in real life, and today we have the follow-up; watch as Jose Aldo and Kenny Florian recreate ‘UFC Undisputed 3′ with soccer balls.

By way of our friends at Cage Potato comes this video, posted yesterday on the UFC’s YouTube channel, features the UFC 136 opponents going at it in the octagon in a soccer-juggling contest that combines the best of hackey-sack with the best of international personalities doing things we don’t understand. I feel like this would’ve been improved by a remixed soundtrack or by having Jose Aldo put a Hulk Hogan Wrestling Buddy on the corner of the cage and kick it off (or by not letting people hold the cage in round three … what’s up with that?).

If this doesn’t get you excited for Saturday’s pay-per-view event, nothing well. Uh, except fighting, I guess.

LOL, bye guys.

Links

A Cruel End To A Surprising Season - Or as I like to call it, “the only good way for a season to end”. This is one of the few recaps of last night’s game coming out of New York to not feature the phrase “fill Yankee Stadium with the blood of our players and management”. [NY Times]

Adidas x Derrick Rose Behind The Scenes Of “The Bull” - This commercial would’ve been hilarious if it’d began with Rose being herded through the streets while people screamed and taunted him, then ended with him being stabbed to death by like four guys who aren’t even the bullfighter. [Smoking Section]

Football Guys: Arian Foster Analyzes Modern Traffic Infrastructure - If you aren’t reading Football Guys, Jon Bois’ football equiv to The Dugout, you are a dumb. I am geographically entitled to share every Football Guys about the Texans, btw. [SBN]

UFC 136 Cut List: 6 Fighters Who Need A Win Saturday Night - Don’t all of them need a win? I wish I knew how MMA worked. [Cage Potato]

The Path Of Mark Henry: An Inspirational Story of Splitting Wigs - From waste-of-time joke to the most hilariously awesome pro wrestler in the world, revisit the bizarre 15-year journey of The World’s Strongest Man, and try to forget about the whole “had sex with his sister” thing. [4th Letter]

CHIKARA Pro Wrestling In Tennessee - And speaking of wrestling, if you’re a wrestling fan who lives in NC or TN and you aren’t at this weekend’s CHIKARA shows, you need a lobotomy. KANA vs. Sara Del Rey, for crying out loud. If you’re there, be sure to find me and say hi. [CHIKARA]

10 Better Ways to Spend 4 ‘Kardashian Wedding’ Hours - 1. Stabbing self in crotch, 2. immolation, 3. marathon of “Scrubs” on Comedy Central (just kidding about that last one) [AOL TV]

‘The League’ Multipanes Are The Best - leeloo dallas multipane [UPROXX]

Top Ten Real People I’d Never Want to Be Stuck In a Cage With - Pretty sure I don’t want to be stuck in a cage with anybody. Except maybe the Smashing Pumpkins, for the jokes. [Brobible]

Anna Faris’ Husband Chris Pratt Gave Their Cat Away On Twitter - Scott Hatteberg counts as sports! I like that he’s “Anna Faris’ Husband Chris Pratt”, as if he isn’t in movies and on television shows. Yeah, The House Bunny is too big of a star for me to accept you on your own merits, Chris. [FARK]

25 Actors And Celebrities You Didn’t Know Appeared In ‘Star Trek’ - James Worthy should’ve worn his goggles over the make-up. Also, sadly I have dated enough uncool girls to know about all these people being on Star Trek. [Gamma Squad]

Frotcast 68: Real Steel, Burnsy’s Corner - Boxing robots! I can’t wait for this to be in theaters, I feel like I’ve been watching trailers and seeing commercials for it since I was born. [Film Drunk]

Aw, NBC Canceled ‘Free Agents’ :( - Just cancel everything and show “Home Improvement” re-runs. More power arf arf arf [Warming Glow]
