Another Reason to get Netflix’s Roku Box
The US Postal Service is planning to reduce its mail service an additional day. This, of course, gives us another excuse why the credit card bill won’t get paid in time to hold that low introductory apr but more importantly, it cripples our Netflix watching.
Because honestly, what other use is there for the mail at this point?
Bigger is Better
“In light of the new football size, coaches for both the Steelers and Cardinals are advising their players to wear gloves, carry the ball with both arms at all times, and lift with their legs and not their backs when recovering fumbles.”–theonion.com
Certainly will make the game more interesting. Let’s be honest, though. Do the Cardinals need any more challenges in this game?
RIP Helio Gracie
Fight OpinionHockey really is more important
‘”It turns out that this explorer last week was playing hockey with a group of other explorers on the frozen waters that had collected in the basement of the building. None of the men called the police, the explorer said. They, in fact, continued their hockey game.”‘–DetroitNews.com
There’s a homeless-people problem in Detroit. That said, the Detroit Red Wings are awesome.
Now you can have your game and eat it too
“Here at HolyTaco, we’re big sports fans. And we’re also big fans of eating piles of snack foods while we watch said sports. So, in honor of the Super Bowl and our need to cram our faces full of processed foods with funny names, we created this football stadium made entirely out of snack foods.”
The best touch is the blimp; a summer sausage in the shape of a football. How they got it into the shape of a football, we can only guess they inflated it with some kind of cheese or beer.
If a street bike is a crotch-rocket…

“It’s called a Spyder roadster. It is built by BRP under the Can-Am brand. The Can-Am brand is BRP’s wheeled vehicle brand which includes all-terrain vehicles and Spyder roadsters. The Can-Am brand stands for a connection between performance and agility and a balance of style and strength. The Spyder aligns perfectly with these brand attributes.”-manchic.com (not “man-chick.com”)
…then, I suppose that makes this a crotch-Tomahawk Cruise Missile. Or a bike for the balance-impaired. I had one of these when I was 5. Came with a bell on the front and tassles on the handlebars.

Uncanny, isn’t it?
Well, the fight is off but we put this post together weeks ago intending to put it up right before the fight. According to MMAJunkie.com, Nick Catone is now expected to face UFC noob Derek Downey at UFC Fight Night 17 due to a rumored clavicle injury.
Heal up soon Amir.
Brazilian Model Loses Stomach, Hands

The Texas Testosterone Festival staff is in mourning today over the life-threatening illness that has struck hot Brazilian model Mariana Bridi da Costa, causing the removal of her stomach, hands, and feet. We got the news first from WebMD, where you can catch all the morbid smarty-pants detail on what the illness is (something called Sepsis).
But we believe a sheltered, disturbed blonde guy with great abs must be behind this.
Dripping Springs’ Buentello Crushes Baby Fedor
Affliction’s show Saturday night was a good one, featuring amazing KO’s of Andre Arlovski by Fedor Emelianenko and Matt Lindland by Vitor Belfort, who looked like the clock had moved back 10 years. Another fight worth discussion is Dripping Springs’ Paul Buentello’s dismantling of ‘Baby Fedor’ Kiril Sidelnikov.
Kiril is a tough kid with KO power in both hands. A rising prospect from Emelianenko’s team of tough-chinned, cold-hearted machines built in Fedor’s image, Kiril has faced a number of Heavyweights determined to stand and trade with him. None had reached victory with that gameplan before.
Buentello made a name for himself in the UFC with impressive KO’s of Justin Eilers (RIP) and Gilbert Aldana (RIP) as well as a first-round KO of Tank Abbott last year in Strikeforce. He’s 12 and 2 since 2003 against impressive competition, his only losses against Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem.
Kiril ate jabs from Buentello for three rounds and got rocked on a number of occasions, including from some perfectly-timed kicks. Eventually the doctors put a stop to the devestation and Buentello was granted the victory.
With Affliction’s future in doubt, at least among bloggers, and Fedor’s next appointment surely with Josh Barnett, Buentello is in the unenviable position of waiting to see what Heavyweight Affliction can come up with to put in front of him. A rematch with Arlovski must be considered a possible but not making too much sense for matchmaking in its wake. Pedro Rizzo, Ben Rothwell, and Roy Jones are all coming off losses and may not make much sense for Buentello to position himself for a date with Fedor. Looking outside the promotion a rematch with Alistair Overeem is possible but most observers just don’t see Affliction spending the money to bring in another European Heavyweight in 2009.
Funny enough, there are a lot of very interesting matchups at Heavyweight in the UFC - Cheick Kongo, Patrick Barry, Antonio Nogueira (who reportedly was suffering from a staph infection during his lackluster loss to Frank Mir), et al - but what are the chances of Buentello coming back into the fold?
