The Catchup

Sounds like a U2 song, no? Brian Eno makes that much of a difference. Thing is, I think it would be an even better U2 song than a Coldplay song. Whatever. Just had to get that off my chest.
Kimbo Slice & EliteXC

I’m still seething about that EliteXC debacle and the Shaw voodoo [...]

Hey are you a fighter?

Flashback — I’m with Riz. We’re at The Orleans in Vegas covering the IFL event there. We’re broadcasting, podcasting and doodlebop battling. On fight night, we’re on our way to the arena and in the elevator we get a guy who looks at me and goes — “Good Luck Tonight!”

The People Speak

Dear Kitch,
I came to your site because I thought you had IFL ring girl pictures. What’s with the salmon? And the Cal Bears? They suck! Listen to me, MORE Ring Girl, less Salmon.
