Holyfield's Brain Cells Becoming Even Less Effective
Evander Holyfield, a man who has been punched in the face so many times that you have to wonder if he's come full circle and now can calculate pi, is fighting some guy named Sultan for the heavyweight championship in Moscow this weekend.

If you like marathons, and AJ Daulerio, then feast on this! It's from the Chicago Marathon, via 100 Percent Injury Rate, who got it from some site called Avant/Chicago. The funny part is that when you go there, it's all normal, bland photos of people running, until you trip over this one....

Monday Night Football Makes The Bills Want To Shout
As everybody keeps telling us on the TV set, it has been 13 years since the Bills were on "Monday Night Football," which is amazing, considering even the Buzzsaw has been on three times since then.
