As many of you heard, last night there was a “fight” in a WNBA game that looked about as real as a WWE wrestling match - we’re not the only one to make the case that this was a publicity stunt used to draw attention into the “intensity” of the sport.
Since the WNBA is now implementing circus like publicity stunts to draw attention to the league, we’ve decided to give them some more suggestions to help them up their fan base.

It didn’t take Jackson very long to post the $25,000 bail he needed after going all ’sunday sunday sunday’ in his ‘Rampage-mobile.’ Unfortunately, Jackson didn’t have much time to enjoy his freedom. According to Sherdog.com, friends of Jackson signaled to police that he may be a danger to himself and those around and the cops were back at the house of ‘Page pretty quick… Read More »

In a horrible/hilarious act of perfect irony, the now-aptly named Quinton “Rampage” Jackson–typically one of the more casual and lighthearted stars in the UFC–put his enormous lifted truck (with his picture and the word “Rampage” plastered all over it) to good use by going on an all-out vehicular rampage, smashing several cars and then running from the cops. Apparently he’s taking the title loss harder then we thought… Read More »

My favorite sport can kick your favorite sport’s ass…literally. MMA has been exploding over the past couple of years—merchandise, reality shows, pay-per-views—and in my opinion it’s the best sport on Earth. Here are some reasons why:
10) Post-fight interviews with Joe Rogan
Interviewing an athlete after a major win or loss can be difficult at the best of times; just look at KG’s interviews after the Celtics won the NBA title this year. But interviewing a fighter after he got his ass kicked is damn near impossible. The UFC insists on doing interviews in the ring immediately following fights. They send Joe Rogan into the cage to ask fighters how they feel and to tell everyone how the fight went down. Replays are shown on the Jumbotron so fighters can give play by plays, but what usually happens is a jumbled mess. A lot of fighters don’t speak English well, or at all, and can barely hear/understand Rogan over the crowd. Other fighters simply watch the replay and make no comments, or say things like, “Yeah I kicked his ass!”, and others are so happy they just talk about being happy, not the fight. Needless to say, it’s hilarious watching Rogan try to make that mess into something viewers are actually interested in. Read More »
