First NBC extends the World Series of Fighting, now through Comcast they deliver us a new entry in the Street MMA offshoot: NHL MMA. That's pretty awesome. Now if only we can get Tina Fey vs. Amy Poehler in the cage with Lorne Michaels as the special guest referee. That would probably destroy the Carano/Cyborg ratings and be an absolute bloodbath. Hmph.

What we are seeing here is Tampa Bay enforcer BJ Crombeen engaging in fisticuffs with Philadelphia's version of Chuck Liddell in Zac Rinaldo - veteran of 17 NHL fights to Crombeen's 69 and owner of a right hand that may contain some sort of futuristic alloy. I mean, he did knock out BJ Crombeen while Crombeen was wearing a helmet, which brings about a slew of questions using hybrid MMA math. The following are a few examples:

If Crombeen's helmet is normally designed to protect his dome from hitting the ice/the puck/sticks/etc, does this mean Zac Rinaldo's fist is as strong or stronger than those objects? What could Rinaldo do with six months of sprawl training? Is he strong enough to break blocks of ice with his fist, thus making him some sort of mythical Guardian Master of the Philadelphia Ice?

The answer to all of those questions is: yes.

We suggest you bring your attention to this impressive beat down. Please click 'read more,' since it's one of those annoying auto-play videos. Thanks, have a nice day.

Thanks for pointing this out to us, Gary.

Crombeen has 69 regular-season NHL fights, Rinaldo has 17. I love that you're covering my other favorite sport though!

After the ref asked if he was okay, Combreen replied "my cats breath smells like cat food."

Apart from the fact there seems to be a typo in this sentence, how can the answer to this question be: "Yes"?

I feel sorry for your landlord.

Landlord:"Jason, you're 3 months late with the rent, when can I expect payment?"
Jason: "Yes."
Landlord:"No, I mean when will you pay?"
Jason:"Yes."
Landlord:"What the hell are you talking about?"
Jason:"Yes."
Landlord:"Goddammit I should've given this apartment to that crackhead..."
