Kimbo Slice flattened by Seth Petruzelli

Adding a new dimension to the word ‘invincible’

And that new dimension is ‘overrated hack.’  Losing in 14 seconds to a guy who had an 0-2 record in the UFC?  “The most incredible victory in the history of mixed martial arts?”  How much did CBS pay the announcer to embarrass himself?

The backstory is that Kimbo’s original opponent was to be Ken Shamrock, who had to bow out because of sparring injury.  Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli was the last minute substitute, with a MMA record of 9-4-0 going into last night’s event, including a lackluster record of 0-2 in UFC competition.

He ended the night flattening the internet sensation, Kimbo Slice, an athlete that was marketed as a fearsome, invincible fighting force, mostly because he was a scary looking big black man.

The biggest loser had to be Ken Shamrock, who blew his last decent payday.  Given Kimbo’s performance, the old man might have even won, giving him a few more high profile paydays.

An exiting night at EliteXc Heat!

The New York Mets choke to end their final game at Shea Stadium

metsfinalboxscore Oops, they did it again!

new york mets logo Oops, they did it again!

Well, you can set your watch by the fact that the NY Mets simply can not finish what they start, and when push comes to shove they will fail.  They did it in 2007, and they did it earlier today, when they blew a game against the Marlins, and when the Milwaukee Brewers won their game against the NL Central Division Champion Cubs, 3-1.

That means the Brewers are the NL Wild Card, and the NY Mets the perrenial losers that they are!

May-Treanor & Walsh Win The Gold

Bikini Clad Olympians Thank Dubya and Infuriate NBC

America’s sweethearts, Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh, fulfilled their destiny by repeating their Gold Medal win at the Olympics.  Fit and photogenic, the duo was celebrated as the rock stars of the American delegation.  Their dominance wasn’t in doubt, and they managed to bring the Gold home to the USA.

Congratulations, ladies, and kudos to you and to all of the Olympians for their outstanding accomplishments and efforts.

May-Treanor & Walsh did tick off their network overlords at NBC, though.  In their post-victory interview, they managed to sneak in a shout out to President Bush, noting him as personally inspirational to them.  NBC, of course, cut them off…

More Olympic Fakes: Han solos?

Maybe if we’re lucky some of the judges might be legit

Our friends at The Irish Times report…

Minority ethnic groups used in Games’ opening were fake
CLIFFORD COONAN in Beijing

FAKE FIREWORKS, fake singers and now fake ethnic minorities. Beijing Olympics organisers have admitted that children from China’s dominant Han population were used in the opening ceremony last week, not youngsters from all 56 ethnic groups as previously claimed.

The news brings the issue of China’s treatment of the minority ethnic groups within its borders back into sharp relief, following accusations that Beijing has sought to drown out dissenting voices from different ethnic groups during the Games.

The Han ethnic group accounts for more than 90 per cent of China’s 1.3 billion people and is the dominant cultural group.

The 56 children who carried out the Chinese flag in a moment intended to showcase national harmony were all Han Chinese, but organisers played down the significance of using Han children to represent China’s ethnic diversity.

“It is typical for Chinese performers to wear different apparel from different ethnic groups,” said Wang Wei, spokesman for the organisers.

“There is nothing special about it. They will wear different apparel to signify people are friendly and happy together.”

Organisers often use Han Chinese instead of the genuine ethnic groups in national displays to avoid any spontaneous outbursts of independence.

Swedish wrestler shows true colors

Removes all doubt that he is a jackass – now it’s certain!

Thanks goodness he didn’t pose for a picture with slanted eyes!

If this incident gets more mainstream publicity, I wouldn’t be shocked if he shows up on WWE tv soon!

SI reports…

Wrestler tosses aside bronze medal

Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw away the bronze medal he won in the Greco-Roman category in disgust in a protest over judging in his semifinal bout.

Abrahamian was beaten in the 84 kg class by eventual gold medal winner Andrea Minguzzi of Italy but was disgusted by the verdict, shouting at the referee before confronting the judges. The Athens silver medal winner had to be restrained by teammates and later went on to win a bronze medal match.

But the row continued at the medal ceremony as he only grudgingly mounted the podium and after receiving his medal made a point of taking it off and leaving it in the center of the competition mat.

Swedish fans in the arena disagreed strongly with the original decision, jeering the judges, while coach Leo Myllari also weighed in.

“It’s all politics,” he said.

The medal was later returned to the sport’s governing body.
