Off the Rack: X-Men Forever Edition #2 This issue starts off with a couple of police officers finding a burning body in Central Park. It’s Wolverine’s body and he seems really dead this time, nothing is left but an Adamantium skeleton sans the middle claw on his right hand.  While back at the mansion we find out the X-Men were attacked mentally by someone or something at the end of last issue and Jean took the brute of the force herself, but the attack still knocked out several X-Men and ... more

About Me: I’m not looking for a man on here at all, I have a man that I am married to. I’m actually looking for a woman…so if your interested, and you are a woman, message me!! Old men need to stop looking at my profile…I DO NOT WANT MEN ON HERE!!! Just because I say I’m looking for a woman, does not mean that I want to meet a woman just to have sex, being friends first and having that connection first is a must, and I’m not talking about meeting women and getting... more

Saturday, June 20th, another season of the hit Spike TV show, The Ultimate Fighter, ends with what will hopefully be a bang. I wanted to run down the fights on the show that I had not covered and then what all the fighters will need to do to make it to the UFC and stay. Jason Dent vs Jeff Lawson 155-Lightweight Lawson appeared to be one of the better grapplers on the United Kingdom team but unfortunately we did not get to see a lot of his skills. He had a chest infection and was not able to work... more

I have been sick, so I did not make it down to the Warren for this one. Public health safety and all. This card was hit and miss. There a lot of guys on here I am not real sure about and a few I am positive will not be in the UFC for long. There are a lot of fights definitely worth seeing though, so if you get a chance Netflix it or something. Terry Etim vs Justin Buchholz 155-Lightweight Buchholz rocks Etim early in the first round and almost sends him limp. Etim is able to recover and go... more

Off the Rack: X-Men Forever Edition #1 It’s 1991. Professor Xavier had just lost the use of his legs (again). The X-Men teams were just divided up into two teams, X-Men Blue which is led by Cyclops (Scott Summers) and X-Men Gold led by Storm(Ororo). The comic titled X-Men (not to be confused with the comic Uncanny X-Men) was fresh out of the gates and just saw the death of Magneto in issue #3. Jim Lee was the artist of this book and helped make it such a hit, selling over eight million copies of... more

David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel. He was filming a movie in Thailand and officials report he was found hanging from a rope, presumably from the curtains. His agent is reporting he died of natural causes. I think a hooker or a gang pimping the hooker probably hanged him. He was 72. Looks like he will not appear in Kill Bill 3 or 4 that Tarantino and Thurman are planning. If they wanted Bill in any capacity, they will have to do one of those anime scenes.  Read More →

Mixed martial arts is blowing up people. If you have not jumped into this sport, then this is the time to get in on the ground level; yeah, ground level. If Dana White and the other companies’ execs can avoid all the pitfalls that the old fogies and boxing zealots have set for them, the sky is the limit for MMA. We have just begun to see this sports potential. Think about it, everyone has taken some kind of martial defense course as a kid: karate, judo, taekwondo, judo, wrestling. Almost... more

Ok, you may call this all sour grapes, but I have always preferred apples as my sour fruit of choice. I am working on my UFC 98 article, plugging away and it comes time for my daily trip to the gym with my son. I make my supplement shake and get ready to go, same routine as always. I check the mail as we leave the house and I think it is here that I realize I am already exasperated. I don’t know when it started: maybe last night when I had to buy a new lawnmower, maybe it is the chinese... more
