I don’t even own a PS3, X-BOX 360 or Wii, but the graphics on this bad boy make me want to go out and buy a system. Is it just me, or does this game look unbelievable? Pretty fucking brutal, too. If this title includes most of the current UFC roster (we know that both Chuck Liddell and Rampage will be included), and its gameplay is responsive, then it should be a blast.

Unfortunately, we were both too petty and too new of an operation to sign Dan Patrick clone Kige Ramsey to a lucrative contract following our exclusive interview with him. The good news is that Kige is at least still out there, makin’ things happen. Here’s a rundown:
Like The Namesake, Kige has a blog dedicated to him. - All Things Kige
Kige has a Wiki, but its going to get deleted unless we fight Wikipedia. The guy’s a star — give him his page, for fuck’s sake! - Wikipedia
Another site is running an “Ask Kige Ramsey” feature where readers can chime in and ask him questions. Who wouldn’t want to do that? - DeadOn
Kige’s profile over on his beloved Facebook. Remember, it’s “more secure” and MySpace “be suspicious.” (you have to sign in)
Even though he dissed the site, people on MySpace still got love for Kige (of course they do). - Brian’s MySpace Blog
How come when I Google image search Kige Ramsey I get images of Eva Longoria, Ric Flair, Tonya Harding and porn (Tonya and porn is a match made in heaven, by the way), but no Kige? Weird.
Hopefully, and I say this with more than a grain of pessimism, we’ll secure another interview with the man soon.
The NFL Supplemental Draft is over, and two of the NFL’s top teams — the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers — walked away with two potential studs while paying only bargain-basement prices.
I said that two GMs with great job security would take CB Paul Oliver and T Jared Gaither (pictured right), and I was right — A.J. Smith (Chargers) and Ozzie Newsome (Ravens), respectively. I don’t know why media members and team execs are so against the supplemental draft. I understand that teams value all of their draft picks. I get that, I really do. Here’s the thing, though — how many 2008 fourth- and fifth-round draft picks will end up being better than Gaither and Oliver? Maybe a few, but not many.
The Chargers likely found their nickelback for the upcoming season. For a team that’s trying to win a championship, this was a brilliant move. There isn’t a better CB on the free agent market right now, so they did the smart thing and rolled with Oliver. I’m not saying that Oliver will single-handedly take the Bolts to the Super Bowl, because of course he won’t. What I’m saying is if the Chargers do make the Big Game, then this will likely be one of the moves that got them there.
The Ravens getting Gaither in the fifth round was a genius move as well. If he flops, so what — most fifth-rounders bust. If he realizes his full potential, then the Ravens will have replaced Jonathon Ogden with a guy who would of been a top-10 pick in 2009 for a measly fifth-rounder. C’mon, how is that risky?
Gaither and Oliver aren’t The Namesake. They aren’t Tank Johnson. They definitely aren’t Chris Henry. They just didn’t make good grades. Who gives a shit; I certainly don’t care about the grades of sure-fire NFL players. If they can play, they can play. Do you think Ray Lewis and Shawne Merriman pulled four-Os at The U and Maryland? No way. A.J. and Oz are just smart enough to know that even a dumbass can be a great football player. That’s why their teams, and not the Colts, are the best bets to challenge the Pats in the AFC in ‘07.
Is Jay Cutler a Manning? He’s a Southerner. He’s goofy. He’s slightly retarded. He probably would never have gotten laid unless he became a great QB. I’m on board. - Predominantly Orange
If you haven’t heard of The COAT yet, get your ass over there. We’ve narrowed down a gigantic field and we’re about two weeks away from determining the greatest Kansas City Chief of all time. - Arrowhead Addict
Daniel Artest needs to forget about the NBA and ballin’ over in Europe. The kid has NFL tight end written all over him. C’mon, you can’t tell me that the Artests don’t have that innate footballer mentality. - D.C. Sports Bog
Greg Lloyd is fucking crazy. Not only did he plead no contest to pointing a gun at his wife’s head, but he allegedly shoved a gun in his son’s mouth too. Oh yeah, he’s a Tae Kwon Do black belt. Basically, if you see Lloyd run. Fast. - Mondesi’s House
Brady Quinn and Ryan Tucker joined Poison on stage at a concert. First off, fuck Bret Michaels for being a traitor. If you’re born in Pittsburgh, you don’t wear a Browns jersey, even for a concert in Cleveland. You’ll never catch me wearing a Champ Bailey jersey, I don’t care if he gives one to me or not. Not happening. Second, why in the hell are Quinn and Tucker at a Poison concert? Third, who’s the bigger tool — Quinn or Tucker? Lastly, why in the hell are those two playing around with their cell phones onstage at a rock concert? Who does that? — Video originally discovered by The Fanhouse

The NFL Supplemental Draft is underway. More on the “midsummer classic” later on in the day. - Hashmarks
Maybe our boy Tank Johnson was a little tipsy when he got pulled over. Maybe he did try to talk his way out of it. Like none of us have ever driven after a beer or two, or even tried to talk (or beg) a cop out of giving us a ticket. I understand why the Bears canned his ass, but let’s not blow what happened in AZ out of proportion. He was cooperative and passed the BAC test. End of story. - The Fanhouse
