Rapper Common has battled Ice Cube on the mic. He’s fought a reggae band in court over his moniker. He’s shot it out with James McAvoy in Wanted. His latest opponent? Brady Quinn? Yep, Brady Quinn. During a performance at Cleveland’s House of Blues Thursday night, Common dissed Quinn during a freestyle. He rapped that [...]

It’s over. The biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter has come and gone. YouTube street-fighting sensation Kimbo Slice stepped inside the Octagon with grizzled and gutted veteran Roy “Big Country” Nelson tonight. Nelson was the winner, but the fight was somewhat controversial. Slice had Nelson dazed in both the first and second [...]

A recent photo opportunity for Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has turned into a nightmare. Zapatero and his family recently took a photo with President Obama and the First Lady during their trip to the U.S.. Apparently, Zapatero thought that this picture would only be for the personal use of both families. That [...]

When rumors started circulating that the Seahawks were going to break out new alternate neon green jerseys this season, most of the football world thought it was a hoax. Thanks to a tweet/TwitPic from Matt Hasselbeck, we now know that it is no hoax. The Seahawks will debut their baby sh** alternate jerseys during tomorrow’s [...]

If Steve Bartman, that goat and the longest championship drought in sports history didn’t already have you believing that the Chicago Cubs are cursed, then this will. First baseman Derrek Lee freakin’ injured himself celebrating a comeback win over San Francisco last night. The Cubs, who have resorted to playing the role of spoiler, won [...]

Dexter is a show I recently ripped through on DVD trying to catch up before the Season 4 debut this Sunday on Showtime. I’m as hooked on the show as its protagonist, Dexter Morgan, is to neatly chopping up and disposing of the bad people who fit his code. The show of course is about [...]

With a second installment of Ghost Rider ready to ride over at Columbia, I started thinking about sequel concepts that made even less sense than bringing back Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze. It was a gargantuan task. Wild Hogs 2: The Final Ride. Freddy Got Fisted. Troll 3. Those all came close to making the [...]

Note to (Bill) Self: Just because you’re making 50 Cent money doesn’t mean you need to turn the Kansas basketball program into G-Unit Jay-Unit. First, there was the J.R. Giddens bar fight in which he got stabbed back in 2005. That debacle resulted in 30 stitches and a transfer to New Mexico. Then there was [...]

By now, we’ve all figured out that Jennifer Garner is smokin’ hot. Most of us caught on during her Alias days. Personally, I think it was her show-stealing “Go Fish” cameo in Catch Me If You Can that did it for me. What else do we know about Garner? We know that she sucks in [...]

This has to be one of the most egregious brain farts in NFL history. How in the world do you leave the NFL’s fastest player alone, uncovered and with one half of the field to himself? During yesterday’s “Show me your Johnson” game with the Titans, the Texans did just that when they completely ignored running [...]

Season one of NBC’s Heroes was magic. The Peacock’s super hero series felt like X-Men for the small screen. Unfortunately, since that special first season, Heroes has been anything but super. We’ve heard all the excuses: The Writer’s Strike ruined the show; Bryan Fuller leaving for Pushing Daisies destroyed the creative direction of the series; [...]

“Antwan Odom is not human!” I’m going to have to agree with the broadcaster on this one. Today, Bengals defensive end Antwan Odom was simply not human. Odom sacked the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers five times. One. Two. Three. Four. FIVE. That’s damn near half of what the Chiefs recorded as a team last season.  He’s [...]

Update 11/19: AICN-Dowunder recently broke some big potential casting news, but unfortunately it wasn’t about who will be playing Bilbo. It was about the possibility of Brian Cox playing one of the dwarves. While that would be a fantastic choice, we’re still dying to hear who will play the lead — the one and only [...]

The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights kicked off last night, with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s Team Rampage squaring off against “Sugar” Rashad Evans’ Team Rashad. Rampage kicked things off by picking the giant Abe Wagner (6-foot-4, 260 pounds) to face smallish heavyweight Jon Madsen (6-foot, 235 pounds soaking wet). Rampage thought that the ogre-like Wagner would strike the [...]

Roger Huerta is my second favorite fighter, wedged in between Anderson Silva and Rampage Jackson in my personal MMA rankings. That said, I was thrilled to see him show up tonight in phenomenal shape. Why am a such a big fan? Because of his nickname? Because of his good looks? Because he was the first [...]
