Elvis Aaron Presley was born January 8th, 1935. Over the years–especially among so called “alternative bands”–its become hip to dismiss “The King”. As you’re all no doubt aware, I’m a “Sinatra guy”. Musically, Sinatra wipes the floor with Elvis. However, if you have any doubts about Elvis go get a …

So let’s say you’re an aspiring MMA fighter looking to test your skills–where do you go? The local gym? The next “Ultimate Fighter” tryout? Lorenzo Fertitta’s house? Apparently, you head down to your local Wal Mart store. And how do you let the multitudes at America’s favorite discount store know …

This doesn’t really have anything to do with MMA, though it certainly qualifies as mayhem. Over in Scotland, a dude was returning from a New Years’ Eve party and he was all dressed up as the Norse God of Thunder, aka “Thor”. He rolls up on someone burglarizing his crib and that’s when …
