| Here Is Ed Hochuli Pumping Up The Gun Boats During Lockout [Morning Twitpics] Posted: 11 Jun 2011 06:25 AM PDT Stop for a second and think of all the out-of-shape, overweight, pork bellied 60-year-olds you know. Then segue to these two photos of NFL referee Ed Hochuli this week being stalked at his gym by San Diego radio reporter Marty Caswell. She tweeted early in the week, “Stalking, er being aggressive, does pay off. Ed Hochuli, interview at the gym, happens tomorrow….” Um, like, of course we want to see Ed ripping a couple sets. Who’s up for some tricep work? It’s unclear where these photos were taken. Ed’s attorney duties keep him in Phoenix. And we’re not really here to worry about the minor details. Just wanting a peek at how the pipes are progressing during the off-season and BC is absolutely starved for NFL news. Adonis once said about your fascination over his guns:
Very true, but it’s impossible for pudgy NFL viewers to watch a 4:00 p.m. EST Giants-Cowboys game without pausing when Hochuli motions a first down by windmilling one of those sequoias. Guilty. Just know that while you are preparing for 2011-12 by reading up on fantasy football message boards, Hochs is in the gym grunting out sets. Might be time to reorganize your priorities.

| Strongman Rendy DeLaCruz Tosses Dwarves, Eats 5 lbs. Of Meat Daily [5 Questions] Posted: 10 Jun 2011 02:06 PM PDT How badass is Rendy DeLaCruz? Well, the Texas strongman can lift you and everyone who shows up at your house for Thanksgiving dinner. At once. And he can eat the entire meal by himself. DeLaCruz spent Memorial Day weekend in Charlotte, N.C., where, prior to NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600, Rendy pulled Matt Kenseth’s 3,500 pound race car 100 feet in just 26 seconds. The feat of strength was devised by the makers of Jeremiah Weed. The beverage brand has commissioned DeLaCruz and other extreme “badasses” — an alligator wrester, a demolition expert and more — for a series of "This is Jeremiah Weed" ads viewable on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/JeremiahWeed). The clips promote a new line of malt beverages: Lightning Lemonade, Roadhouse Tea and Spiked Cola. As part of the car-pulling stunt, the company also distributed vouchers for cab rides in Charlotte to help racing fans make it home safely. “(The brand) saw my YouTube videos from the gym (flipping a 1,000 pound tire as a training regimen and more) and contacted me to be an endorser: a badass. I said: ‘Let’s do it,’” DeLaCruz, 30, said from his Metroflex gym in Fort Worth, Texas. ” I am always looking for another challenge whether it’s in the gym or outside of it.”Read on to see what Rendy DeLaCruz wants to lift next, what happens when you don’t lift safely and which NASCAR driver he wants to “dwarf toss” for charity.People who meet you in person often seem to want you to lift them, or something else nearby. Does that get old? “Nah. I have been doing this for 10 years. As a strongman, I want to accept any challenge. It’s part of the job; people expect you to lift whatever they point at.” In this promotional role, will you be doing more lifting stunts, and what’s the creative process like for a strongman: do you sit down for lunch and think “I could lift that fridge, that pizza oven… that food truck?” “I spend time looking at stuff that’s not supposed to be picked up, figuring out how to pick it up. Then, I pick it up….I definitely want to do more with Jeremiah. I am up for doing anything for a good cause (like the cab rides program).”  You have pulled a plane, a car and other assorted heavy objects. Is there a ‘Holy Grail’ for you: a strongman stunt you’d like to attempt? “What I’d like to do is pick up two Smart cars. I’d like to figure out how to put a bar through them so that the Smart cars would be like 45 pound plates on a weight bar. Then I want to deadlift it.”  Have you ever come across anything so heavy you couldn’t lift it, like the burden of expectations on the Miami Heat, for instance?“No. Everything I have set my mind to that I wanted to lift, I have lifted; everything I trained for, I have been able to do. I have pulled a jumbo jet 50 feet. I used an apparatus to lift 25 people when the last record was 20 people. I did it. …You have to study it and know how to approach it and train for it.”There’s an element of danger with strongman competitions and lifting: Are there any competition failures you’ve seen where people embarrass themselves or, worse, hurt themselves? “Yeah…One time at a competition, this guy who looked like he could pick up the world tried to lift 1,100 pounds, but he couldn’t and he blew both of his knees out; the weight just crushed him. We had to get the weight off him and call an ambulance…. He just got owned by the weight. Guys try to test themselves, but you need to know your limits; it can kill you if you’re not careful.  Which sports star could you throw furthest: LeBron James, Tom Brady or Kyle Busch?“Hmmm…I think Kyle Busch. Maybe we can put him in a harness? Some of the strongman guys do this thing for charity where we do dwarf tossing — people donate money based on how far you can throw a person. Maybe we can do the same thing with Kyle. I’ll bet I can throw him pretty far.”How much of the Jeremiah Weed drinks can you consume within the realm of your training regimen? “On heavy days or hot days, I like to drink the Spiked Cola. It’s got just a little alcohol content, so it’s a good drink for those days…In this Texas heat, my wife likes the lemonade.” You consume 12,000 calories each day: What’s a normal breakfast, lunch and dinner menu for you? “In the morning, I have 2 cups of oatmeal and 20-30 egg whites, depending on the day, and a weight-gainer shake. I eat like that every 2-3 hours…At lunch, it’s some fish, a few pounds of meat and maybe some rice or vegetables and then for dinner another few pounds of meat, like ribs – I eat 4 to 5 pounds of meat each day – and a potato and a vegetable…. 12,000 calories is a standard day, but on a heavy lifting day I can do as many as 14,000.”  Will you continue being a strongman as you get older or try to get into training others?“My gym is an appetizer for me, not a profession. …Age is just another number. Lifting is all I know how to do; It’s all I want to do. I don’t like doing anything else. I’ll wind up being the world’s oldest strongman, I guess.” Visit www.facebook.com/JeremiahWeed to learn more about Rendy DeLaCruz and the "This is Jeremiah Weed" ad campaign.

| Married Dutch Futbolers Drunken Debauchery In Brazil [Photos] Posted: 10 Jun 2011 12:56 PM PDT You know why our new favorite national team in any sport is the Dutch national soccer team? According to Dutch media reports, mixed with translated Brazilian reports, we can report that the team tied Uruguay 1-1 last weekend, jumped on a plane to Rio and went straight to the bar. Look, who are we to judge the married guys grinding, running their hands over Brazilian skirt chasers? We’re just here for the photos and the awesome details. What did one wife say about her husband’s drunkeness? According to Radio Netherlands:
What a wife! Did we ever mention how we’d marry a Dutch woman tomorrow? How cool is it for a woman, stuck at home while her husband is out pounding brews and running his hands over some chick’s hip, to be understanding. So let’s be the first to congratulate Heitinga (that’s him in our lead image) for smoothing over the initial firestorm. However, we’ve yet to get word on how Dirk Kuyt’s (blonde hair getting to know the locals) wife reacted. She has little ones at home. The lesson this Friday afternoon is that the Dutch seem to have the road beef game down to a science. To be honest, American sports teams have gotten extremely boring, hence our visit to the Dutch party scene. Back in the day it was all good for the Red Sox to destroy a bar. Now we can’t even get a single Twitpic. Step it up, America. The Dutch are stealing your thunder. [Dutch team caught on camera in Rio disco]           Filed under: International, Soccer         |

| UFC Busted Faces In Honor Of UFC 131 Posted: 10 Jun 2011 10:06 AM PDT UFC 131 happens tomorrow night in Vancouver, British Columbia. The event promises to be a good one, with the main event being a bout between Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin. In honor of this big night we have 10 of the bloodiest, most busted faces in recent UFC memory. Clearly we won’t be able to include every nasty, messed up face in this gallery, so if you have your own, feel free to leave a comment below. Check out the pictures after the jump! Diego Sanchez, UFC 107This fight seemed like a mismatch from the start. Diego Sanchez took on B.J. Penn in the main event Lightweight Championship and got absolutely destroyed in the fifth round. Sanchez was outweighed by Penn and many thought it was quite a mismatch, but Sanchez was real confident and was seen talking smack across the ring going into the fifth and final round. This was a big mistake and ended up coming back to bite Sanchez in the ass. Penn landed a swift kick to Sanchez’s head, opening him up almost immediately. Smelling blood, Penn pounded the wound causing Sanchez to bleed until you couldn’t even recognize him anymore. The referee had no choice but to end the fight and Penn walked out of the ring as the Lightweight Champion. Sanchez walked out with a lot less blood than he had walking in. Caol Uno, UFC 34Caol Uno got totally and utterly destroyed by B.J. Penn in UFC 34. Uno was lighter than Penn and just seemed to never stand a chance. In fact, he stood almost no chance at all. Penn hit him early and hit him hard and Uno was knocked out by way of a nasty Penn punch only 11 seconds in to the first round. Look at that face post fight. I am getting sore just looking at it. Marcus Davis, UFC 118I feel bad for Marcus Davis after looking at these pictures. The dude didn’t even look like a human being after this fight. He took on Nate Diaz in a Welterweight fight at UFC 118, and although the fight ended in a submission late in the third round, Davis took a serious beating throughout this fight. I knew that guys faces could swell after taking punches for three rounds, but Davis looks straight up disfigured in this post-fight picture. You gotta give the guy props for lasting almost three full rounds while getting whooped like this, but coming out of a fight looking like Sloth from The Goonies is never a good thing for a UFC fighter.
