By Anthony De Franco  January 5, 2010, at 5:18 pm  Look! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s another Affliction GSP shirt! Jesus, It’s like a weekly occurrence recently.
Who can blame them though? St. Pierre is MMA’s most marketable man. He’s got his own underwear and is even stars in Gatorade commercials. Now, here’s the latest in a line of Badass Affliction shirts bearing his name.
It looks kinda similar to the “Storm GSP Tee”, using the Red and black color scheme. It goes back to the old design, with the Warcrest on the front, which I always thought was just awesome.
MMA Warehouse has it for 49.99.
For more GSP gear, check out The 3rd String Store.

By Bryan Berg December 26, 2009, at 9:38 pm When the Rangers scored with 47 seconds left in the third period to tie tonight’s game at 2, I assumed that was it for the Islanders. The Rangers would go on to win in overtime; if they didn’t do that, they’d win in the shootout. I had my mental consolation speech prepared. It went something like this: “It’s a damn shame they didn’t win tonight. Kyle Okposo was a beast. Even if he never scores again, he should make the U.S. Olympic team, because he still makes things happen. Oh, and I f*&@ing hate the Rangers.”
Then, almost out of nowhere, Kyle Okposo, he who was a beast tonight, fired off a wrist shot that deflected off Marc Staal’s skate, then the post, and then found the back of the net. Islanders win in overtime.
MSG Plus gave us a bunch of stats that I thought said a lot about these two teams. First, Brandon Dubinsky’s second goal gave the Rangers their first point in a game where they trailed after two periods. That’s plenty of fodder for the “The Rangers have no heart” chorus. Second, the Islanders earned their 37th point a full 13 games before they hit the 37-point mark last year. Third, the one we all know a little too well, this was Okposo’s first goal in nineteen games. Lastly, and perhaps most pathetically, the Islanders have consecutive wins for the first time in almost two months.
Yes, the Islanders gave up a crucial point to the Rangers, a team they may be battling for a playoff spot later this season. But this was a big win for the Islanders. They took it to their biggest rivals tonight and got two points. They got a bit of a raw deal with the schedule – their game against the Flyers tomorrow starts just 22 hours from the drop of the puck tonight – but the Flyers are terrible and the Islanders are riding a great wave of momentum. Truly, there’s no reason why they can’t beat Philadelphia tomorrow night; there’s even less reason why they can’t beat Columbus on Tuesday night. That’d be four in a row. It probably wouldn’t get the Isles into the top eight before the end of the year, but it certainly would send them into 2010 on a positive note.
Huge win tonight. And one last note on Okposo – now that he’s broken his goal drought, look for him to heat up in the very immediate future.
By Bryan Berg December 17, 2009, at 12:51 pm Christmas – and Zach’s birthday, for that matter – isn’t until next week. But this news will surely make Zach feel like it’s Christmas morning. Rangers coach John Tortorella is putting Wade Redden, the $39 million man, in what might be his natural position – in the press box as a healthy scratch.
Is it the right move? Hard to say. But you cannot possibly argue that it’s the wrong one. The Rangers allowed Islanders fans to take over the Coliseum last night. Usually, it’s the other way around; tonight, it may very well be the other way around. But it’s clear that the Rangers need to shake things up, and this is one way to achieve that goal. Besides, maybe they’ll actually play better without an ineffective Redden taking up valuable ice time.
No matter what you think of the Rangers or this move, it’s clear that this has been a long time coming. Hell, it probably should have occurred twelve months ago. You’d think the Rangers would dump a guy like Redden before dumping Tortorella, but Glen Sather isn’t exactly forthright about admitting his mistakes. The Rangers have a golden opportunity to right the ship in a game against their hated rivals, just 24 hours after being embarrassed on home ice by those same Islanders. If they can’t get up for this one, maybe it’s time to replace Redden AND Tortorella.
By Anthony De Franco November 30, 2009, at 1:22 pm Let’s take a look at the play that capped the 99 yard touchdown drive that had cemented Vince Young as the Titans’ future.
Say what you will about the guy, but he’s getting the job done. I hate the “all he does is win” argument, but he is putting up some good numbers as well. VY, Sorry for all the bad things we said. Continuing doing work.
Now, on to me being right, Titans fans have to be excited about Kenny Britt. A great, athletic play in the end zone to go up and get that one. He really is an exciting young player, and I thank god that Hakeem Nicks is turning out pretty well too, otherwise I would kill myself for the Giants passing on him.
