Soccer player wants to be like Mike…Tyson

Soccer is a game of passion, so we’re told. Tensions can run high and sometimes things can get a little out of hand on and around the pitch, but you already knew that. Brawling, mooning, brawling, flaming, pissin’ on the sideline and biting are all just part of the game. Wait! Biting?

Never mind, we just found out that biting isn’t really that odd in soccer after all.

The hungry actor over at The Hungry Actor is an MMA fan and he’s got one very difficult question for all you UFC fans out there: What is Your Favorite Knockout?

Whew! Tough choice, but our vote is split between the opening elbow smashing crucifixion or the furious hands of the vicious Vitor Belfour. While we know this video is dedicated to UFC KOs, we’d still like to throw this devastating blow into the competition.

More painful baseball shenanigans

Remember when kids actually used batting cages as batting cages. Nowadays, these crazy whipper-snappers see the cage as one thing and one thing only: the perfect spot to create their Jackass audition tape.

Batting practice just got fun again

Some guys are just born lucky, growing up with all the advantages needed to help them become baseball legends, like Ken Griffey Jr. or Barry Bonds. Others kids aren’t so fortunate. In fact, some us couldn’t even afford balls when we aspiring big leaguers, but, hey, that’s what lil’ brothers are for.
