Last Night Marked the Death of UFC

 
UFC had one of their biggest pay-per-views last night at the MGM Grand Garden arena. People were paying to see two of their top draws in Connor McGregor and Holly Holm. Surprising many, the two popular favorites both lost. The loss from these superstars last night now puts UFC in a bad spot.

The biggest draw in all of UFC is undoubtebly "The Notorious" Connor McGregor. Running his mouth all over non stop and knocking people out. He is must see. Now he was must see. It's cool when you talk the amount of shit that McGregor talks and back it up by winning. What's not cool is talking all the shit in the world and tapping out in the middle of the octagon. His ego made him move up a weight class. He should of just stayed in his weight class and not be a crazy cocky fuck trying to win a title at every weight class. So he's going to go back to fighting at 145 and talk shit to everybody like he didn't just submit to somebody with a 19-10 record who had 2 weeks notice to fight. Nobody should care about McGregor's next fight. I'm no longer getting suckered into Dana White's #1 cash crop. Who gives a shit if McGregor runs his mouth anymore? He's not the greatest like he claimed. This loss tarnished everything from Connor McGregor. He brought that on himself. I will no longer pay to see him fight anymore. Oh yea and anybody who puts Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather in the same sentence can put a two foot cock down their throat.


Last nights Miesha Tate upset over Holly Holm took away a future blockbuster pay-per-view for UFC. Holm is the bitch that gave Ronda Rousey a reality check. Instead of Rousey jumping right back and demanding a rematch, she took time off painting her naked body and doing movies and crying expecting us to feel sorry for herself. Holm put her title on the line and took on the next bitch up. If Holm won then UFC would of got Rousey vs Holm as their main event for their next pay-per-view which would of banked. That's just not happening anymore. Holm's loss to Tate fucked that shit up big time. They can still run the rematch but nobody will give a shit about it. So now Holm isn't this great fighter, she's literally just the bitch who beat Rousey. Good enough in my book I guess but I'm not opening my wallet for anymore of her fights.


These losses were absolutely shocking. The fact that any fighter can win in UFC is suppose to be pretty cool but now I'm not invested in any particular fighters anymore. The McGregor ride is over. The Rousey bandwagon is over and now so is her comeback train. All done with. Now UFC's biggest stars are a stripped champion who cant pass a drug test and a former WWE entertainer. It sucked buying a long dragging pay-per-view to see two fights which I ended up losing money on. We have just experienced UFC at it's greatest height. It will never be the same again. The biggest losers last night was UFC.

Top 5 Friday: Athletes I Want to Drink With


 
Let's have some fun. Every Friday I'll blog about a top 5 of a random topic. This inaugural Top 5 Friday will be about athletes I want to drink with. This was pretty hard to actually only select 5 people. There's countless number of athletes I'd love to party with. So without further to do here is the launch of the first Top 5 Friday!


#5 Michael Jordan
What are we Drinking? - Champagne

I mean this guys the greatest. I'd love to have a drink with MJ and just let him tell me how great he is and how he has the greatest life any professional athlete could ever have. I'd want to drink champagne with Jordan because he drank a whole lot of it. I want to drink like a winner with a winner. I'd love to get Jordan really drunk and let him start being a cocky fuck calling out his competition and bragging about how rich he is and maybe even make a couple of bets with me. That definitely wouldn't work out for me in the end. This guy does not accept losing. Anyway, anything that comes out of Jordans mouth interests me and there's no doubt that Michael Jordan is one of the most iconic sports figure ever. Most importantly, I neeeeeeed to know how he dunked on the Monstars like that. By the way this picture of Jordan is the super funny. Better than the crying face picture in my opinion.


#4 Mickey Mantle
What are we Drinking? - Whatever the fuck he wants.

Nobody and I mean nobody can peform better hungover than Mickey Mantle. This dude is my hero. Mantle is a 20 time All-Star and he got fucking shit bombed every night. He was so fucking good that he was able to abuse alcohol and still be better than everybody else on game day. "The Mick" was so good that his natural talent outweighed a healthy life style. Nothing can stop this 3 time MVP from being good at baseball. The sport was way too easy for him. I feel rather skilled in the 'Go to work hungover/still drunk department' so I know me and Mantle would be good for a Monday night turn up. I probably couldn't keep up with Mickey, but I'd risk alcohol poisoning for a night out with this man. Obviously his alcoholism caught up to him and he is no longer with us but he certainly had a great life and left an amazing legacy.


 
#3 Michael Strahan
What are we Drinking? - New York Giants Special Edition Superbowl Bud Light Cans

Michael Strahan is my favorite football player of all time. His leadership inspires me. Strahan has an amazing personality and really comes off as a fun guy. I'd love to just drink some beers and let him let me into the behind the scenes of his career. Strahan is already hysterical. I can only imagine how funny he can be with a buzz on. I'm biased with Strahan because he's my boy but you can't tell me drinking with the great gap toothed NFL Hall of Famer wouldn't be any fun.


#2 Alex Rodriguez
What are we Drinking? - Patron and Seagrams Wine Coolers

Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez is my favorite athlete in all of sports. A-Rod's been so active on social media and since Derek Jeter retired, he seems rejuvenated and able to be more like himself. Nobody is funnier than A-Rod. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, he is hilarious. Whatever he says or any actions he makes, it's funny. I'd like to bring my premadonna out with THE premadonna himself and sip on some Wine Coolers with one of the greatest baseball players of all time statistically. I'd do just about anything to see A-Rod drunk. Alex seems like the type that once he gets that buzz he becomes an open book. Let's sit alongside a pool in Miami and get White Girl Wasted Alex.


#1 Joe Namath
What are we Drinking? - Scotch till we Drop. Or I drop.

"I'd rather go to Vietnam than get married." If there's a sex life I envy it's Broadway Fucking Joe's. This man had a drink in one hand and a gorgeous woman in the other. You may be surprised that Namath is my number 1 because I hate the Jets but I respect the hell out of this icon off the football field. Joe Namath was the Bachelor of Bachelors. If I can pick up one of Joe's scraps it would be the best 9 seconds of my life. I want to get retartedly fucked up wit Joe Namath. Retartedly fucked up to the point that I'm asking out sideline reporters live on national television. Nobody has a more soothing voice than Joe Willie Namath. I can listen to him talk all day. Let's get fucked up Joe. Please. Teach me how to really throw back alcohol. Show me how that shit is done. No grandpa has more swag than Joe Namath. Let's down some scotch and pick up some chicks. You'd probably sleep with a younger girl than I would. "If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?"


There's many athletes that ran through my mind that I'm going to give some honorable mentions. I won't provide details but I mean what's a party without these guys.

  • Derek Jeter
  • Lawrence Taylor
  • Rob Gronkowski
  • The 86 Mets
  • Charles Barkley
  • Shaquille O'Neal
  • Alexander Ovechkin

Thanks for checking out the first Top 5 Friday. Check in every Friday for a new Top 5 of something. Who are yours? I'd love to hear! Share your top 5 in the comments below. I appreciate all those who check into the Sharks Territory blog. Happy Friday! Success and nothing less.

Jimmy Buffet IS Performing at Jones Beach this Summer


 
Party on! When the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater released the 2016 summer schedule, the familiar name of Mr. Jimmy Buffet was left off the list. My overreaction was a bit premature because Buffet is coming back to Jones Beach in 2016 baby. Better late than never.

There's no better way to end this summer than with Long Island's greatest parking lot party. Jimmy Buffet hits Jones Beach Thursday August 25th. Take off from work that day and I'd advise taking the Friday after off as well because shits about to go down! The lots will start filling up bright and early so prepare yourself for a full day extravaganza. There's nothing like being shit bombed by noon. Something I don't object to any day but it's socially acceptable when this guy is in town.



It is not the concert that makes this day great. Well for me at least. The tailgate is just one of a kind. Last year was the first time I attended the big parking lot party and it was remarkable. It is now a day I will look forward to for the rest of my life so I hope Jimmy B keeps it kicking for a long time. The convenience of it being right down the parkway makes it a hell of a lot better as well. The majority of the people at this event do not go into the concert and party all day in the sun across the different theater lots. The vibes are great, the people are fantastic, and there's country music playing everywhere.

I can't recommend this experience enough. I jumped the gun thinking Buffet wasn't going to make his annual trip to Jones Beach. I couldn't be more happy with the announcement, even if it was delayed. The fact that it was taken away from me for about 15 days made it 10 times better when the August 25th concert date was announced. See you all there. Cheers.

The Man who Stalked Erin Andrews Tells All


 
Erin Andrews is a famous and beautiful sports reporter. Probably the best looking reporter in the history of sports. One day her life came crashing down when pictures and videos of her naked in her hotel room surfaced across the internet. The man behind secretly stalking Erin Andrews admitted to his actions and explained how he did it.

Michael David Barrett is a man who like most males in this world wanted to see Erin Andrews naked. Barrett took things a bit too far for his fantasy to become a reality. This guy went to extreme measures to find out where Erin was staying so he could invade her privacy. He modified the peep hole in her room so that he can film Erin Andrews naked after her shower. Michael Barrett posted these onto the internet and Erin Andrews' life took an unexpected turn.


Michael David Barrett testified by coming clean to what he did and how he did. Here is how Barrett went about crushing poor Erin Andrews' privacy and damaging her reputation:


  • He got Andrews' room number by calling the hotel operator and requested to be connected

  • When his call was put through, her room number appeared on the phone display allowing him to book the room next door

  • He waited for her to leave the room and then he modified the peephole with a hacksaw which allowed him to see inside the room

  • He listened in his room for her to take a shower. When the shower turned off, he got out of his room and started filming her through the peephole with his cell phone

 
Barrett revealed his rash plan at a civil trial which Andrews is suing not only Barrett but the Nashville Marriot at Vanderbilt University for 75 million dollars. Andrews is suing the hotel saying they didn't properly protect their guest. Andrews told jurors that it ripped her apart when some people say that the videos was a publicity stunt. She broke down and said she's anxious and depressed, and still gets taunted online by people who've seen the videos of her. Even ESPN wasn't totally sure. They required Andrews to have a public interview before she's allowed back to work. What absolutely drives me crazy is the intentions behind this perverts actions....

When Barrett was asked why he filmed Andrews, he said he was in debt at the time. He made a series of bad investments and hoped to profit off the footage. When he was unable to do so, he just put it up on the internet for free. When asked why he posted the video online for free he responded by saying "That is a great question, and I really have thought about it over the years, and I don't have a good answer for it. I don't know."

You don't know? How the fuck do you not know? This guy is just plain sick. Believe me I looked at the videos and I liked what I saw. The only rightful answer I would of accepted from this demented sicko is that he is sacrificing his life for all the men out there. This is just plain wrong. I shouldn't have seen these photos and videos and neither should of anybody else.

I feel horrible for Erin Andrews. She's going on with her normal day not knowing this guy flipped her peephole around. Not knowing she's being filmed by this creepy bastard outside of her hotel door. Think about how scary that is. Michael David Barrett is brutally honest. He admits to how guilty he was. Admitted his whole plan, how it was executed and how he didn't have a god damn reason behind doing it. Barrett even confessed to filming about 10 other women in hotels and posting the videos online. He just does this. He doesn't even profit of it! If this guy had a 12 pack with me and my friends on a Friday night he could of made a profit. How do you just post these pictures online and expect no consequence? Especially from a dime like Erin Andrews. I don't know how Andrews is going to get a whole lot of money from this poor investing scumbag but I hope Erin Andrews gets the justice she deserves.

To see the up to date trial, Youtube has it in it's entirety. To see Erin Andrews naked, just google that shit.

88th Academy Awards Recap

 
The 2016 Oscars Awards was headlined by two things. No black nominations and whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio will finally win Best Actor. The Accademy Awards became a dragging 4 hours of celebrities preaching what's wrong in the world.

After Chris Rock's monologue I turned off the Oscars for about 2 hours because I dont give a shit about animated Short films or Best Foreign-Language Films. Even the 2 hours I watched were too long in my eyes. I thought Lady Gaga gave an excellent performance. Even that covered world issues but I enjoyed the performance. I don't know why musical performances are done at a movie award show but she was good. I guess they just love anything that can drag the show out and give us more commercials inbetween each award. Louis CK was hilarious presenting a dog shit award. Anything that took us away from the diversity was appreciated. All in all, the Oscars are the most prominent award show and there was bigger deals than all the little bullshit our country cares about these days. They actually gave out awards for movies.

Here are some quick hits of my perspective of shit that mattered besides Black Lives at last nights 88th Academy Awards:


 
Chris Rock as Host

 
I was interested in Chris Rock's opening monolouge. With the awards not having any black nominees, you knew Chris Rock would certainly have something to say about that. It didn't take him very long. I'm sure all you'll hear about is how controversial it was. The first sentence out of the hosts mouth was about it. Rock was funny. He's a hilarious comedian, how could he not be? However, outside of a few funny jokes in his monologue, I didn't care too much for him overall. The girl scout cookie thing was cute. I thought it was funny how he was calling out all the rich movie stars to not be cheap. After the girls came out to sell their cookies, Rock would continiously keep his daughters girl scouts part of the show. The lack of black nominess had every black person addressing it, like Kevin Hart. Diversity became the whole basis of the show. Chris Rock closed the show dropping a "Black Lives Matter" like it wasn't enough already.

Not Enough Michael Strahan

Michael Strahan is one of the best TV personalities these days. Not just because he was a Hall of Fame Defensive End for the New York Giants, but because he is an extremely lovable and funny guy. Strahan was used primarily for the Red Carpet. I would have liked to see him present an award or have some kind of bigger role during the show. He's not a movie star but he's a Superbowl Champion damn it! He was the leader of the team that took down the undefeated Patriots! I guess you could say I just wanted to see Michael Strahan because he was a Hall of Fame Defensive End for the New York Giants.

UPSET! Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Mark Rylance

This was an award many (including Vegas odds) had Slyvester Stallone winning. I haven't seen Bride of Spies but it looks pretty damn good. I'm cool with Mark Rylance winning this award even though I havent even seen the movie. The movie can't be bad. Tom Hanks has the lead role and that motherfucker doesn't make bad movies. The fact that Vegas odds didn't have Rylance as the favorite made this extremely interesting. Vegas oddsmakers sucking everyone into betting Stallone at an afforadble spread (-400). I know a lot of people were upset not to see Stallone win this for his role in Creed but do you really need to see this guy win an Oscar for playing Rocky Balboa for his 7th fucking time? Good for Mark Rylance and his god awful recieding hairline on the Oscar.

 
Best Director: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Back to Back Champs! Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu takes home his second consecutive Oscar award for Best Director for his job in The Revenant. Alejandro won Best Actor in 2015 for the movie Birdman. Why is it that there's a time limit for their acceptance speeches? I mean people like that fat bitch who won Best Documentary Short shouldn't be getting the same amount of time for her acceptance speech as Best Director. This is a big award and he had to speak over the rude interuption of music signalling the winner to hurry the fuck up. This guys going for a dynasty of Best Director awards. He should have all the time in the world to speak.


Best Actress in a Leading Role: Brie Larson

One of my favorite Red Carpet looks. Everybody looks fucking great at Award shows but Brie Larson had a beautiful dress and I'm a sucker for the color blue. I didn't see Room but it look's pretty good. More people on the internet were buzzing about the little kid Jacob Tremblay than Brie Larson. That kid will probably be landing in a lot more movies. My opinion isn't too worthy for this award because I didn't see any movie these nominees were in but congratulations to Brie Larson and her blue gucci dress.

Best Picture: Spotlight

I don't think I've seen a television commercial for this movie. The only time I knew this movie existed was on Youtube ads. The movie looks really good and has an excellent cast. That dare Rachel McAdams... oh my god do I love her. Spotlight was not promoted as well as it should have been. How much money did this movie make? All of that doen't matter, whether this movie wasn't promoted enough or didn't earn enough, The Oscar speaks for itself. Shoutout to Michael Keeten for starring in consecutive Best Picture nominations.

 
Best Actor in a Leading Role: LEONARDO MOTHERFUCKING DICAPRIO

So after splashing water in my eyes trying to stay up till midnight to make sure Leonardo DiCaprio wins this award. We finally got to see him win the only accomplishment this ambitious and gifted actor doesn't have. Not anymore. I touched on guaranteeing Leo would win this award on a previous blog, but I still had to see it to believe it. Most importantly, I wanted to see his acceptance speech. What a letdown that was. Leo had to sit at these awards for his brilliant performances and see somebody else get Best Actor so many times and now that he finally gets the award he talks about.... climate change? FUCKING CLIMATE CHANGE! Talk about how your the best actor in Hollywood and now achieved everything in your career and your going to bang 6 girls at one time tonight. Intead, he dedicated the award to the nature of the earth. Fuck that. Come on man. I guess this is what happens when you literally have absolutely no real problems. Typical 'I'm a great person shit trying to make a difference in the world'. Acceptance speech was a let down. I'm interpreting that speech as just a nice way of saying "Fuck all yall. I'm better than everyone. I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!"

It's Officially Time for Carmelo Anthony to Go


 
I have had enough of New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony. There is no player more overpaid than Carmelo and he has proven he cannot carry a team to even a 500 record. The time has come to trade the Knicks "star player".

Wednesday night Carmelo Anthony airballed a potential game-tying 3 point basket with time expiring. A clean look that he blindly just chucked with 1.9 seconds on the clock. Carmelo didn't even KNICK the rim. (God I love corny puns) This didn't seem to bother New York's All Star. In fact, he found it rather comical. After this horrific excuse for a shot from a so called "superstar", Carmelo Anthony just laughed it off. Isn't it just great to see your star player find such amusement out of such an important and embarassing shot?



Fuck this guy. I had this fat pig's back for so long and I just don't have any logical reason to support him anymore. The guy has proven he can't carry a team what so ever. Carmelo can't even make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference which is never strong. Nonetheless, this chubby fuck can't even bring this team to a 500 record. Losing season after losing season after fucking losing season. It's an absolute disgrace that Melo has a max contract. Obviously the only reason he stayed in New York is because the Knicks had the most money to offer him. Carmelo Anthony is a selfish overrated piece of shit.

The Knicks are doing the Toronto Raptors a huge favor by winning 2 of their last 15 games. The 2nd seeded Raptors own the Knicks first round draft pick and that pick looks more like gold as the season goes on. Oh and those two games that they won were against the fucking Suns and Timberwolves. Bravo Knickerbockers!!! This team is an absolute joke and the first place to point your finger is at their player with the max deal that deserves quarters at an arcade room.

As a Knick fan I'm just blinded by cruel facts like accepting Carmelo Anthony as my best player. Melo shoots about 20 times a game and all his shots are poor shot selections. He willingly shoots contested jump shots. This year he finally learned how to pass the rock and we still can't win. He shoots a poor field goal percentage but manages to get his 20 points a night and he's just proclaimed this superstar. Oh cool he heats up in a quarter from time to time. Whoopty fucking doo! So does Jimmer Ferdette and that goody two shoes only has a 10 day contract. This guy has to go! It's time for the Knicks to rip somebody off like the Raptors ripped us off for fucking Andrea Bargnani. Or any NBA team that ever made a deal with the Knicks for that matter. There's NBA teams out there that needs asses in the seats and will be brainwashed like I was thinking Carmelo Anthony is a player who can take a team to the next level.

Just rebuild this god damn team. Last I checked LeBron James is still in the Eastern Conference so nobody is going to win the East for atleast another 5 years unless some Western Conference All Stars move East. Get me back a first round pick that we love giving away. The Knicks will never win with Carmelo Anthony. This team is literally hopeless unless they sign Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook. With all likleyhood of that not happening, the Knicks need to rebuild just like the Celtics did and are doing.

I really don't know why I backed Carmelo Anthony up. Not only is he not good. He's overpaid and he doesn't give a flying fuck. His game sucks. The Knicks would be able to get a great deal for Anthony. It doesn't matter how bad the team is because Madison Square Garden will always be packed out (just look at last year). The Knicks arn't going anywhere with Melo so they might as well try to get better in the long run. The only thing I will miss about Carmelo Anthony in a Knicks uniform is the PA announcer calling his name. Seriously that dude is great. As for you Melo, be gone. Go laugh at your airballs and shoot 30% somewhere else and con another team into paying you that money you managed to get.

Shane McMahon Saved WrestleMania



Here comes the moneyyyyyyyyy! Last night on Monday Night Raw marked the return of Shane McMahon. It's been over 6 years since the boss' son has been seen on WWE television. Nobody saw his return coming and the Detroit crowd gave him a thunderous ovation.

Wrestling has been bad. Really fucking bad. They've been pushing this tool bag Roman Reigns to win the WWE title and nobody wants to see him win it. He's so unoriginal and is an absolute disaster on the microphone. So many top stars are either retired or injured. WrestleMania was looking like a complete nightmare. Then entered Shane O Mac.

In a gig where Vince McMahon was presenting his daughter Stephanie with some stupid award named after his father, the family love affair was spoiled by Vince's son Shane. The entrance was great. Shane got grey but hes still got his signature dance down pat. Running around in a suit and Jordans blowing the roof off the building. In todays world everybody knows about everything because of social media, so any surprise is usally ruined. WWE did a great job keeping the Shane return on the down low. Even my wrestling freak loser friend didn't know about this and he's always on top of the wrestling rumormills. His return was simply awesome. Shane didn't even speak for a good 5 minutes because the crowd wouldn't stop going insane.

Shane pretty much told his dad and sister that the product has gone to shit and he wants to take over Raw. After the Million Dollar Princess was asked to leave the ring and exited to a "Na Na Na Na Good Bye" chants, Vince proposed a deal to Shane O Mac. The Chairman of the Board said if Shane wrestles one match and wins then he can run Monday Night Raw. Shane accepted and then Vince said he gets to pick Shane's opponent. Vince selected none other than The Undertaker. Shit got even more real when Vince said in his hilarious, twisted, squealing, exagggerated, overacting voice that the match will take place at WrestleMania and in a Hell in the Cell. Shane accepted the deal and now WrestleMania actually got interesting.

Vince McMahon wanted this to be the biggest WrestleMania ever at AT&T Stadium in Dallas Texas. God knows how much he payed The Rock just to make a non-wrestling appearence and talk on the microphone. Whatever he paid, it's well worth it. Thank you Vince. And thank you Vince for recognizing what a terrible product you have. Vince had to pull his son back into the business and compete in order to get some hype around his biggest pay-per-view of the year. Shane McMahon has pulled off some of the biggest spots in wrestling. From falling off titantrons, getting tossed through glass, and jumping coast to coast in the ring, Shane McMahon delivered many "Holy Shit" moments. Even at his and the Undertakers age, something awesome is going to happen in this match. Hopefully any rumors of Shane not fighting and ending up selecting an opponent to take on Taker instead of himself doesn't happen. That dreadful name of John Cena has been rapidly flowing around across the damn internet. This match was booked perfectly. WWE finally got something right. The fans got something unexpected and are now anticipated for it. Do not fuck it up.



I've been so accustomed to horrible story lines. I usually watch the 2 big shows of WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble (which i gamble on). After the show I usually question why I watched it. Wrestling just isn't the same as it use to be. I use to be the biggest fan in my pre-highschool days. There's no more cursing, no more bleeding, and no more Bra and Panties matches. Everything has to be politically correct. Wrestling no longer has the stars I loved or are allowed to give these new guys a fun character to be due to this PG bullshit. Last night was done just right. The WWE needed the buzz of Shane's return and so did WrestleMania.

Shane McMahon takes a huge fall at Summerslam
