Something funny happens when you live every single day of your life covering MMA. You begin looking at every fight you see like it’s in a cage and people are trained fighters. When we saw Rick Porcello chuck Kevin Youkilis to the floor, Jason called it what it was: A judo throw. When Jorge Posada fought earlier in the year, I got a ton of crap for commenting on his unintentional sprawl.
Now, it seems like I see fights just about every week. No, I’m not talking about my raucous social life. I’m talking about MTV’s latest hit show Jersey Shore. While most of the fights get broken up pretty quickly, I was really impressed with something that happened on last week’s episode. Check out Ronnie’s skills in this little brawl:
Now, let’s take a look at what happens in this one. After the punk guy hides behind his girlfriend for about 30 seconds, Ronnie drops his quickly. Now, besides the terrible footwork, he manages to drop the guy pretty easily. After grabbing his head, Ronnie throws a pretty mean looking knee to the dome. Then, he falls into what I’m gonna call “Drunken Full Mount.” He lands some shots, but the punk guy does a good job controlling him from the bottom. What Ronnie should have done was postured up and really rained down some heavy blows.
I’m sure there will another fight on the show next week. Maybe we’ll make this a weekly thing.
So. Tired. Up til 9am watching Dynamite 2009. Fuck Shinya Aoki’s stupid pants.
As i try and form coherent sentences right now, We’d like to take a moment to wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy New Year. Take this time to realize how good you have it, and to plot world domination in the coming year. That’s what we’re doing.
So, from Jason, Alex, Zach, Bryan, Matt, Jordan and of course myself, Have a happy New Year. We may be signing off for 2009, but we’ll be back tomorrow with more Bowl predictions, UFC predictions, and we’ll all get to see if Alex drinks himself retarded tonight.
No doubt that you’ve noticed the recent lack of posts. We’ve all been getting ready for the holidays here, and while Jason and Alex celebrated Hanukkah last week, it’s time for me to take a break open some presents and eat til’ I explode.
So from our family to yours, have a Merry Christmas and be safe.
And of course, if you are looking for someplace to blow that Christmas money, Let me suggest The 3rd String Store.
P.S. The chances of Alex putting a menorah somewhere on this post are 3-to-1. Any takers?
Like I could ever pass on a bet like that???? Here you go Anthony:
Just found this and couldn’t resist adding it to the post. This is a way to make sure that Children are good all year long!
Here’s an interesting article from PFT. Got a few million dollars hanging around? Then you can own part of the worst run franchise in the history of sports!
As a world of children and grown-up children who act like adults so the children won’t get scared begin to make out their Christmas wish lists, here’s a item for consideration.
A 10-percent stake in the Oakland Raiders.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the the team is trying to sell that amount of franchise, in an effort to raise money.
We’ve separately learned that, while a partial sale is possible, the efforts aren’t yet fully active. No investment firm has been engaged, for example, and no aggressive attempt has been made to scare up a buyer.
Per a league source, the reality in Oakland is that the limited partnership contains several aging members (or, in some cases, the widows of deceased members). Some of the members might want to dilute their interest in the team.
So, here’s the plan: If someone is willing to back us, Jason and I come up with a big plan to basically rebuild the Raiders. It may or may not involve creatively getting rid of Al Davis. We’re kidding. As if he could be killed by conventional weapons.
I’m sure many of you have seen this video already. It already has over 1 million views on youtube, but I felt that it needs to be shared none-the-less. While it is undoubtedly nothing but a lucky shot it is still incredible anyway. Also, for those of you who don’t know, Modern Warfare 2 is now out. Almost every member of the 3rd string safety has it already, and loves it, I sadly do not. But from what they have to say, it is awesome and if, you have a system capable of supporting it, you should go out and buy it right after watching this clip…
Going to be a real slow day for us. Jason’s in Wisconsin, taking in the Badgers homecoming footballgame. Alex is probably still recovering from last night’s Hangover. I was there, it was bad. Jordan and Matt are still involved in the C.W. Post football game, where I would be, If I hadn’t completely lost my voice. Don’t ask me how.
So, just enjoy your All Hallow’s Eve and we’ll be back for Football Sunday tomorrow. If the Giants lose, I’ll be dressing up as a guy trying to hang myself.
As supposed to Stein, who stole the show last night with his Kimbo Slice.
