Steven Tyler An American Idol Judge?
On August 3, 2010 at 10:56 am
Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler is taking the “American Idol” bench, courtesy of the big-lipped one’s own Saturday (7/31) night announcements in Las Vegas. The musician, who – together with Sharon Osbourne – will cement rock’s domination over elimination TV shows with “America” in their names, was speculated as a member of next season’s cast [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 11: A Will To Win
On June 10, 2010 at 7:22 am
This marks the first of Rich Franklin’s lessons to the hungry-for-glory Team Ortiz, but will it mark a new dynamic between teams in the house? Will Rich and Chuck get along or will the Iceman seek to decorate his team’s TUF bungalow territory with Coach Franklin’s entrails? We can only watch, wait and see how [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 10: Shocked and Awed
On June 4, 2010 at 6:10 am
The day’s been crazy, the night’s been even worse, but the tenth episode of the Ultimate Fighter was explosive. I’m writing this with one arm virtually locked behind my back, and since we’ve been experimenting with different formats lately I reckon it’s only fitting that our show turns out upside down too. What will be [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 9: Civilized Sport
On May 28, 2010 at 6:43 am
So, now that I’m fueled on Coke, and I just saw Tito put the choke on Lyoto Machida in the last seconds of their 3rd round UFC 84 brawl, I’m ready and raring to go for our ninth episode recap. It seems like twists and turns have been coming all season; this hour is no [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 8: Closed Mouth Don’t Get Fed
On May 21, 2010 at 6:52 am
Quarterfinals have officially commenced; our season’s wild card gimmick has come full circle, resulting in Court McGee’s return to the Octagon. It’s now official that TUF 1 contestant Chris Leben will touch gloves with Aaron Simpson in the Ultimate Finale. What is in store for us this week other than Kyacey receiving news of his [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 7: Coming For Blood
On May 17, 2010 at 7:19 am
Last night, at the time of this writing, was by all accounts one of blasts from the past. Former TUF coaches Sugar and Rampage – in the first televised episode of “Primetime: Evans-Jackson” – immediately followed an Ultimate Fighter episode of wildcard combatant mania. Two empty spots exist to be filled, and our resident GEICO [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 6: Did Your Dizzle
On May 7, 2010 at 6:33 am
ICE is tearing through Las Vegas like a blizzard, to punish the Huntington Beach Bad Boy and send him where he belongs. But he’s not going to be thrown out in a citizen deportation every bit as fictitious as those under SB1070. No, far worse is in store for the coach of Team Punishment. His [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 5: If It Breathes, It Bleeds
On April 29, 2010 at 7:03 am
The 3-1 Team Punished may just stand to cede its coach’s Ultimate Finale meet-up-beat-up owing to the very real possibility of Tito’s being cut from the UFC, but are we witness to the beginnings of a comeback? Will the furies of insult, injury and humiliation switch targets, to head down Team Liddell’s throat like three [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 4: Clown Box
On April 23, 2010 at 6:32 am
Now that I’m back home after another day on the road, and pumped up after watching Forrest Griffin’s five rounds on Unleashed, I might as well say what I’ve been thinking for the past week: Y’all strap yourselves in and get ready to fly. This is going to be one hell of a crazy episode, [...]
The Academy of Country Music Awards (TV)
On April 18, 2010 at 3:19 am
This year’s ACM (Academy of Country Music) Awards are a healthy mix of nominees, including some well-deserved newbies and a few veteran nominees who earned a pile of nominations. The awards will be handed out on April 18th in a live-from-Las Vegas broadcast on CBS. Reba McEntire will return for an unprecedented 12th time as [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 3: A Lotta Heart
On April 16, 2010 at 7:22 am
If my gut feeling is anything to go by, we’re being prepped to watch the Ultimate Fighter house undergo its own surgical procedure mere days Thiago “Pitbull” Alves had surgery of his own to seal a hole in his head. From the looks of it, no one in the house expected a sudden departure. Will McKinney come [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 2: Suck It Up
On April 8, 2010 at 7:53 am
Take an afternoon on the road, throw in two cups of Coke and three cookies. That’s pretty much been my day up until now. But add to that an hour spent in front of the TV with a heavy load of hand-to-hand combat, cook at four hundred and seventy five degrees in the explosive flames [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 1: Smashed Up
On April 5, 2010 at 7:39 amHot on the heels of “UFC Fight Night 21” and War Machine’s impending judiciary meet-up, I begin my critique of the newest Ultimate Fighter flock. Encouraged by the powers that be after my last episodic write-up, and aided by a buttload of coffee (gotta love K-Cups), yours truly is stoked and ready to explore the [...]
The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 – A Look Ahead
On February 5, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Like noble Viking warriors of Valhalla, or that ignoble Scientologist tin navy called the “Sea Org,” the fighters of the UFC keep coming back. Whether Randy Couture in and out of retirement, former TUF coaches Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz tapped for Season 11 of my favorite last-man-standing reality show, or matchmaker Joe Silva’s axe [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 11: Road to the Finale
On December 3, 2009 at 9:46 am
Seeing as this is the last episode of TUF before its Saturday finale, I reckon it’s time for a celebration. In true Ultimate Fighter style, though, it’ll work according to “last man standing” rules – I’m going to be recounting two hours and four fights for you. Ready? Okay, we all know Matt’s on thin [...]
