For the Thousands in Attendance, For the Millions Watching at Home…
As a fan of combat sports, from MMA to the WWE, Josh Deitch tips his hat to the quality brawls of 2008.

(Pyrotechnics shake the stadium. Heavy metal music blares as the camera pans through thousands of ...

 How to fight when you don't want to fight
How to fight when you don't want to fight
Inspired by Jonathan Roy, this blog post looks at what to do when forced to fight. The nine options range from the good ("beat down opponent, then leave like it was no big deal", aka the Mr Miyagi) to not-so-good ("defecate on ice, fling poo" aka the Sean Avery).

Nolan REALLY knows Bo
Take a look at it. That picture right there is one of the most famous baseball photographs of all-time. It even has its own title, “Blood”. If you don’t know who that is, you are probably not a baseball fan.
