He died from bleeding in his artery. It didn't even hit his head...it hit him in the neck directly underneath the ear. There's a small possibility that a helmet might have not even helped.

The diner scene has to be in the movie just for the stark change of pace to the world we've been accustomed to. I pictured it as a dirty, sleazy diner. Plus it was kind of a cool scene. It really doesn't advance the plot, though, so it probably won't make it.

Deadspin had the radio call. It's typical..."oh, that's gonna leave a mark" announcer talk. A little chilling considering what actually happened.

So the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released an EP today called Is Is that was recorded between Fever to Tell and Show Your Bones. I think it will greatly please the people who enjoyed FTT and hated SYB. Lots of wailing guitars, random screams by Karen O and energetic rocking out. It's a pretty solid five song collection.

It seems to me that luke-o is always REALLY happy to be wherever he's at.

Fuck me. Oops. I knew I recognized him. Damn it, he gained weight. Those guys are really similar looking.

Tonight was ok. It was nice to see Vito Spatafore as Turtle's cousin, but Walsh wasn't exactly his usual awesome self tonight. I really think that he's going to end up fucking Dana Gordon to kill the picture somehow, but that's a bit far fetched. The highlight of tonight was Ari and Lloyd, which was just classic Ari awesomeness. The rest...meh.

That was probably my favorite episode. The first song to cheer Brett up and the entire conversation afterwards about dressing him up in a wig was hilarious, as was just about everything in the episode. "Ok we really need to be at our tops for this. Brett, don't be bulimic. Jemaine, look after Brett. And me, well, don't screw this up, I guess would be what I would need to do."

Titled announced today. Link Due at some point in 2007. Bring it on.

No they don't! Harry's parents and a combo of Dumbledore and Snape. Now Malfoy's boy Scorpius...that's terrible. Was anyone else slightly thrown off that Lily and James were killed in 1981...meaning, in effect, that the whole story took place from 1992-1998? That means Harry Potter is older then me. Weird.

He's a fucking idiot. It takes me two hands to rattle off all the marlins teammates he has gotten into fistfights with. I think Drew and Verlander were pretty equally rated going into that draft talent wise, but I believe there were some signability issues with Drew, which proved to be true when he almost held out the entire year.

Don't forget Nagini. I think that sort of counts as a main character. My favorite parts were when Hermione dropping the basilisk fangs to make out with Ron, all because he stood up for house elves; Harry unveiling himself from the cloak to take on Carrows after he spat on MacGonnagal (You shouldn't have done that...awesome); and Mrs. Weasley's NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH before killing Beatrix.

I read the whole thing in about 8 hours reading time. I loved the entire thing. I think my favorite part was Mrs. Weasley. Nothing really seemed to drag, that much, but I can see why people would say that. Fitting end. I'm satisfied.

As for Matt Bush, Verlander was the consensus number one overall that year but the Padres went with the local kid they knew they could sign. He celebrated his contract by getting into a barfight (natch) and then went on to be one of the biggest busts at the plate ever. If he can make it as a reliever, great, but he's already firmly cemented as a huge #1 overall bust.

True. That's a good point. I was just wondering because if it triples in any athlete over a normal person I thought there was a small possibility that Sherk could even increase more. But probably not.

I'm curious about this. The normal concentration of what Sherk tested for is 2 ng/ml. In a training athlete it's 6 ng/ml. Sherk was around 12 ng/ml. Is it within the realm of possibility at all that the insane workout they talk about all the time actually pushed it that high?

Bill Simmons doesn't even remotely suck. I'm tired of this shit. Hurry up and name me five better sportswriters on the internet. I can only name one, Will Leitch, and he's not so much a sportswriter so much as a blogger.

Yeah, Terry Martin looked pretty damn good in his last fight. He was looking a lot more thin and a lot less like Prop Joe. I hope he kills Leben. How can Leben even talk shit or talk tough again after so publicly dodging a fight? And Gray is still saying he wasn't knocked out.

Sorry this is way in advance as the card is 7/7/07 but wow. Anderson Silva vs. Nate Marquardt Hermes Franca vs. Sean Sherk Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans and ONCE AGAIN... The octagon debut of Antonio Rodrigo “Big Nog†Nogueira.

Uh oh.

Murray is really turning into the comedic powerhouse. "I'm afraid I have some bad news, Jemaine. It appears as though Planet Jemaine has supernovaed. It'd currently turning into a black hole." "Oh no, when did this happen?" "4 million years ago, I'd suppose." I like Mel, too. But the star of the show, to me, is easily Jemaine. Dude cracks me up. I can't wait for Eagle vs. Shark.

Oh yeah, looks like that's another Vs. card, as well. Sweet.

Well, the new fight of Shogun vs. Forrest Griffin might be a good one because there's at least a 60% chance that Forrest will just stand there and put his neck on the line. He also might fight like a pussy like against Ramirez.

It was in an episode. I think maybe the weapons one?
