Bernie Ecclestone loses mind.: Ecclestone says Formula One will use a medals system next year to decide the title. "When asked if it was fair that someone who wins six races but doesn't finish any others beats someone who had finished every race in second place, Ecclestone replied: "He'll have to try harder next year."" Eddie Jordan remains unconvinced.

UFC's Dana White shares his thoughts on EliteXC and Seth Petruzelli.: After the Seth Petruzelli controversy (also covered below), here's UFC's Dana White with a few thoughts on it. Dana is his usual, eloquent, restrained self. (Single link YouTube Post. Contains bad words and amusing invective.)

Robert Kubica wins the Canadian Grand Prix.: Robert Kubica becomes the first Polish driver to win a Grand Prix, scoring BMW's first ever victory in the process. His teammate Nick Heidfeld made it a BMW 1-2 after Lewis Hamilton ended his and Kimi Raikkonen's race in a bonehead incident in the pitlane. A year ago, Kubica was lucky to leave Montreal with his life. This year he leaves it leading the drivers championship by four points. What a difference a year makes.

The NFL in the year 2000: "Don't be shocked when the 21st century arrives and the NFL teams in Super Bowl XXXIV have women quarterbacks launching 135-yard touchdown passes with their power-assisted arms." Unintentional comedy gold from Sports Illustrated.

Oh I fucking hate YouTube videos that were made by someone pointing their damn phone at the TV.
Get some real technology or don't fucking bother.

I wish I could get this. I'd love to see this.

Didn't Vinny Jones hold the previous record?

I'm with JJ. Salary cap the bastards. I love baseball, but would much rather sit down to watch a game that could go either way rather than a 90% chance the "All Star" team will win.

I'm part of a community of avid boxing fans, and the universal opinion is Holyfield was robbed.
Me? Well he's not dead, so color me surprised.
I love boxing, but shit like this bad judging (and the alphabet organizations) are why people don't give it any credibility anymore.
I love MMA, but I think boxing is, or at least has the potential to be, far more noble.
What we need is a group like UFC to run boxing. Of course these days people would just dismiss it because the competitors don't kick each other in the head. (Please note, as I said, I love MMA. It just pains me to see boxing so... Let's be blunt, shitty.)

Very sad tale:( Not much else to add. I just think of the idiots out there who say how barbaric and dangerous MMA is, and yet it seems Hockey is far bloodier. I can certainly, off the top of my head, think of far more hockey players who've suffered serious injury than MMA fighters.
I realise this isn't really relevant, but I'm tired, I've had a long day, and after the great story the other day about hockey, it's depressing to read this, and I have a major Japanese MMA viewing session in my future and it got me thinking about Hockey and MMA.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled... Stuff.

I firmly believe media shapes the culture. Even more so since 9/11.

I'm always angry. I appear to have a reputation around here, and it must be upheld:)

Of course it got no coverage. Nobody dies, nobody is shamed, nobody suffers some grievous injury. Why the fuck would the media care about this?
What with this, and the golfer a while back who turned himself in for using dodgy balls... (FNAR!) This is good stuff!
Fuck the "LIVE IN FEAR! YOU MIGHT DIE! LOOK! THERE'S SOMEONE DYING NOW!" media.

And what's with all that whitespace?

In fairness, a concussed chimp is probably qualified to work for any Fox network.

I fight because it's my job, not because I like it.
"I fight because it's my job, not because I like it."
Then your job is retarded.
