Speechless.

Arlovski had 4 inches in height, 10 lbs in weight, and a 3 inch reach advantage. Arlovski had speed and did a solid job, that helped him dominated the first minute and a half of the first round.

Within those first 90 seconds, Andre Arlovski got stoned. Soon after, he decided to try a flying knee (with his hands down) while Fedor was coming off the rope. The moment I saw the knee coming, the world stopped. Even Tito Ortiz, who could go down as the WORST ring announcer in the world, said, “Don’t do it!” Ironically, the next on the list for Fedor is Josh Barnett. If you don’t know who he is, he was a former UFC champion, and the next dude to get sodomized by Fedor Emelianenko in about 6 months.

Overall, these M1/Affliction events have the production value of a high school A/V club video. They have the wierdest F*$CKING annoucers in the world. Some dude from OZ, who couldn’t get a job in the Sopranos, and some other dude who sounds like Harvey Firestein – walking around the arena interviewing fans, is not my idea of informational reporting. I will take Joe Rogan over Tito Ortiz as an announcer, any day of the week.

The field of psychoanalysis has gotten the Hollywood treatment over the past decade, being featured on a hit TV show, The Sopranos, and two movies starring Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro, Analyze This and Analyze That.

In the same period, the number of college students earning psychology degrees has jumped 22%; the Princeton Review pegs it as the second most popular major today. No doubt students have visions of striking it rich, listening to patients’ problems while collecting $100-an-hour fees.

The reality is that few psychology majors move on to graduate school–and the career path for the rest of the group: not so rich.

Whether you watch the last two minutes of Iron Man after the credits, or you’ve been reading comics for years, you know that Nick Fury has been going through an identity crisis for a while. The now former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. has flipped between races more than Mariah Carey.

Old-school Nick Fury is a white dude with a little bit of grey setting in on the sides; a quasi-Paulie-Walnuts from the Sopranos look. In the “Ultimate” comic series, Nick Fury is actually modeled after Samuel L. Jackson. Marvel confirmed that he was the model and inspiration for the new incarnation of the bad-boy comic legend.

The real question is – which one is it?

I know there are different story arcs and anything goes, but I feel like this is a motivated by a quest to be politically correct. I agree that there aren’t too many bad-ass black superheroes (story to come), but I truly think Nick is a white dude. Think of it this way – in the comics, Nick Fury is one of the most powerful/influential characters in the world. Do you think the Conservative Republicans of the Marvel Universe would EVER let a black dude have that much power? I think not.

Even better question, what about an arc with an asian Nick Fury? WTF?

Nick Fury should:

The Emmys, not unlike the Grammys, usually have a healthy helping of smug involved – and that’s why it was nice to see a looser, more improvised feel at this year’s show.

The Sopranos, as expected, swept the major categories in drama, winning Best Series, Writing and Directing. Along with those wins, The Sopranos secured a spot in history as the only drama in the past 30 years to win Best Series in its final season.

As for dramatic acting: James Spader won Best Actor in a Dramatic Series (with his dry, sly, nonchalant wit in tow, natch) and the always-overdramatic Sally Field ranted about moms and war and stuff during her acceptance speech for winning Best Actress. Terry O’ Quinn scored gold for Supporting Actor in Lost and Katherine Heigl won Best Actress for her role on Grey’s Anatomy.
