YouTube/UFC

UFC 227 weigh-ins went off without a hitch. All 24 fighters successfully made weight for their fights over the weekend, but they failed to stay within California State Athletic Commission regulations on fight night. The CSAC can recommend fighters move up a division in the future if they weigh more than 10 percent above their contracted weight class during a fight-day weigh-in. For UFC 227, all but six fighters came in over that mark.

TJ Dillashaw entered the cage at 149.5 pounds after weighing in at 135 pounds, a 10.7 percent increase, while Henry Cejudo enetered the cage at 141 pounds and Demetrious Johnson entered at 142; both well above the 10 percent mark.

Cody Garbrandt weighed in at 142, just 7 pounds above his contracted weight for a 5.2 percent increase.

The biggest jump in weight came from Alex Perez and Brett Johnson. Perez weighed in at 126 and jumped 16.3 percent to 146.5 pounds on fight night. Johns, meanwhile, saw a 16.2 percent increase from 135.2 to 158 pounds.

There is no word on whether the California State Athletic Commission will officially recommend any fighters move up in weight, but it is interesting to see the official figures and the drastic weight cuts that some fighters are putting their bodies through.

The official fight night weights from UFC 227 can be seen below, via MMAFighting.com.

Lambda Chi Alpha At The University Of Arkansas Suspended For Hazing

The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at the University of Arkansas has been suspended for the upcoming year after being found guilty for violating conduct rules related to hazing. The fraternity members have been removed from the fraternity home for the 2018-19 school year.

According to a statement from University of Arkansas spokesman Scott Flanagan, “the organization has been suspended from campus and is eligible for reinstatement at the conclusion of Spring 2019 semester, pending successful completion of all requirements.”

In his statement, Flanagan said that the fraternity — which has 182 members — was found responsible in April for “specific conduct violations of hazing, violation of safety systems, disorderly conduct and conduct that endangers the health and safety of any person.”

The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity was just coming off sanctions that were imposed in 2017 that included a prohibition on alcohol at the fraternity house until May 13, 2018.

via Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:

The organization’s latest trouble comes after a UA investigation last year into a February 2017 party and a pending lawsuit filed by a woman at the party that states the fraternity should be held responsible for sexually explicit photographs taken without consent and distributed to a fraternity email network.

Asked about the most recent conduct, “I cannot speak to details of specific violations,” Flanagin said. Other sanctions require a meeting with UA’s dean of students, Melissa Harwood-Rom, Flanagin said.

The fraternity almost lost its house in 2017, when the UA investigation found the fraternity responsible for disorderly conduct, serving alcohol to those underage, failing to register a social function as required by school policy, and “conduct which encourages or enables illegal activity and/or a violation of the Code of Student Life,” according to records released at that time.

As part of that investigation, a finding of hazing was overturned on appeal after a review by Chancellor Joe Steinmetz and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Charles Robinson, with an initial sanction of suspension also overturned.

This is the latest major fraternity or sorority investigation, suspension or closure in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State and Penn State have all suspended fraternities in the wake of hazing and alcohol deaths.

These reports come amidst similar allegations that have been made against fraternities nationwide, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon at East Carolina University, who was shut down for hazing and the Lamda Chi Alpha chapter at the University of Arkansas which has been accused of taking sexually explicit photographs of women without their permission.

In response to incidents like these, fraternities such Phi Kappa Psi have made numerous changes to their code of conduct in an effort to address the issues that have arisen. In addition, schools such as Texas State have introduced new Greek Life rules to try and prevent these problems.

Two ‘Game Of Thrones’ Fan Favorites Have Been Confirmed For The Final Season

HBO

To be honest, this article in and of itself is kind of redundant. If you actually thought Tormund and Beric were dead, are you even a real Game Of Thrones fanProbably not.

Yes, Game Of Thrones has become synonymous with mercilessly killing off main characters, but when they do it, they’re at least intelligent enough to do so ON SCREEN. While killing characters as pivotal and universally loved as Tormund and Beric are certainly not out of the question, killing them off-camera definitely is.

Which is why anyone who thought they died when the wall collapsed in the season 7 finale is, essentially, an idiot. Sorry, but it had to be said.

However, if you weren’t able to put two and two together, UPROXX has done it for you, pointing out that not only has the actor who plays Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) been spotted in Belfast but the recently-released script from the season seven finale all but confirms the two fan-favorites survived the collapse of the wall.

via UPROXX:

HBO submitted the finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf,” for Emmys consideration; it was nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, along with episodes of The Americans, The Crown, The Handmaid’s Eve, Killing Eve, and Stranger Things.

In the section applying to Tormund and Beric, the script, which has been released online, reads, “Tormund and Beric lead their wildling comrades to the stairs carved in the ice — Eastwatch has a massive zig-zag stairway, not an elevator like Castle Black. They run for their lives and disappear from view.”

Game Of Thrones eighth and final season is set to premiere in the first half of 2019, likely sometime around April. As for the highly-anticipated prequel — while not much is known about the specific details of the plot — it will begin production this upcoming fall in Belfast.

What are the top party schools in the USA? The Princeton Review released its annual list of party school rankings this week and there were some surprises on the list. While your mainstays like West Virginia University, Tulane University, Syracuse University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison were on the list, the No. 1 team may be a bit of a shock.

The Princeton Review determines its list of top party schools “based on student ratings concerning the use of alcohol and drugs at their school, the number of hours they study each day outside of class time, and the popularity of fraternities/sororities at their school.”

Who topped the list?

The full list of the top 10 party schools in the United States can be seen below.

Dead Fetus Found In Bathroom Of American Airlines Plane At LaGuardia

American Airlines has had its fair share of negative publicity over the course of the past year, but nothing could have prepared anyone for what was discovered on Monday, Aug. 7. Monday morning, a cleaning crew was tidying up an American Airlines plane that was in a hangar at LaGuardia Airport in New York City when they made a grisly discovery: a dead fetus was in the bathroom, according to a report from WNBC.

The plane had landed at Terminal B in Queens from Charlotte about an hour before midnight on Monday night.

Immediately after the discovery, the plane was removed from the tarmac for investigation. The fetus, meanwhile, was taken to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine how it died.

“We have no major impact to our operation this morning while we are working with law enforcement on an investigation,” American Airlines said in a brief statement.

“As we continue to learn more about this tragic and sensitive situation, we are actively cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation. Please contact law enforcement or the medical examiner’s office for additional information.”

Ronda Rousey has been thrown right into some marquee moments since signing with the WWE, but on Monday, Aug. 6 she did something for the first time in her professional career. The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion returned to television this week and competed in her first official WWE Monday Night Raw match.

Rousey was returning from a “monthlong suspension” for beating up Raw general manager Kurt Angle. She entered the ring against Alicia Fox, who had ringside support from WWE Raw Women’s Champion Alex Bliss, for her match.

Rousey was easily handling Fox in the ring, despite some attempts to interfere from Bliss, before locking in her signature armbar and finishing the fight.

You can watch the defining moments from the match below.

Rousey is set to return to the ring on Sunday, Aug. 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York where she will face off against Alexa Bliss for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship. It will be Rousey’s second chance at winning the belt.

Other matches at Summerslam 2018 include Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship, AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship, Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy for the WWE United States Championship, Carmella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship, and Cedric Alexander vs. Drew Gulak for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The Bludgeon Brothers, Harper and Rowan, will also defend their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against the winner of the SmackDown Tag Team Championship tournament finals between The New Day and Cesaro and Sheamus.

It’s A Tough Day To Be Associated With Ohio State

Just soak this all in for a second: this is a group of MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS spending their time (on a Monday , no less — primetime work hours) making signs and yelling chants in support of a football coach who may or may not have (allegedly allegedly allegedly) turned a blind eye to domestic abuse. Yiiiiiikes.

As we all know, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is on administrative leave as the university investigates how he handled domestic violence allegations against former assistant Zach Smith, which prompted some ingenious OSU fans to think, “Hey, let’s have a rally for him!”. It’s as if they learned absolutely nothing from Penn State fans’ embarrassing display after the Joe Paterno scandal.

First, let’s start with the cargo-shorted ringleader, strutting around like he’s hyping up an actual football team and not a bunch of mouth-breathing neckbeards who have nothing better to do on a Monday afternoon than finger paint signs about ESPN and the SEC. You can just tell that my man (who’s probably named Darryl) has been waiting for this moment his whole life:

While there were reportedly only 100 or so people in attendance, regardless, it’s a horrible look for Ohio State University and makes it another very tough day to be associated with the school.

But really, I only have one question:

Wonder how many people at the @OhioState rally for Urban Meyer voted for Trump? 100%? 99?pic.twitter.com/Qk46JR7Vga

During the search, authorities found Beasley’s cellphone in the woods.

His phone and the battery had been separated.

Tuesday, the search intensified with drones, helicopters, and cadaver dogs before he was ultimately found, according to ABC 13 Eye Witness News. There was no indication of foul play, but detectives will investigate all possible scenarios.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and the hundreds of people that knew and loved Officer Beasley,” the police department said in a statement.

Steve Smith Sr. Details ‘Overwhelming’ Depression During NFL Career

Steve Smith Sr. was one of the toughest, brashest wide receivers in the league during his NFL career. But what we couldn’t see was that the former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens star was going through battles with serious depression. Smith recently opened up about the serious struggles he had with depression throughout his playing days.

Smith detailed his struggles in a column for NFL.com on Tuesday.

“Despite all of my achievements, I routinely felt trapped, inferior and alone,” Smith wrote. “This overwhelmed me internally and often left me mentally, physically and emotionally broken. Thinking back to when I experienced these emotions most significantly, several specific moments come to mind…

“Generally, throughout much of my life, unhappiness, constant self-criticism and an inability to let old blunders go weighed so heavily on my mind. I can recall hundreds of these moments, on and off the gridiron, when I felt inept. It really took a toll on my mental state.”

One of the moments Smith discussed was the Panthers’ victory over the Eagles in the 2003 NFC Championship Game that sent Carolina through to the Super Bowl. Even in that time, Smith felt empty.

“I was so upset I couldn’t even get myself to hold the conference trophy,” Smith said. “We earned the opportunity to become world champions, but in that victory, I felt defeated.”

During his career, Smith played 16 NFL seasons and hauled in 1,031 catches for 14,731 yards and 81 touchdowns. He was known as one of the fiercest competitors in the game and was always a leader for his teammates. Through it all, however, the pressure to perform and lead was weighing heavy.

But now that Smith is away from football, that weight has been lifted off of his shoulders.

“But now, a year and a half has passed since my last NFL game, and for the first time in my life, I finally feel free,” he noted.

“I’ve learned through hours and hours of counseling — and am still learning — so much about the battle I fight within. I find myself, as an extreme introvert defined by my counselor, looking for excuses on how to avoid large crowds and retreating during public appearances, big events and even family gatherings. Being in public is a constant struggle, not because I don’t want to attract attention or think I’m ‘important, but because of my inner battle.”

Smith ended by speaking out against the stigma surrounding mental health issues and giving advice to anyone who may be struggling.

“There’s nothing wrong with me, nor is there with anyone else who suffers from depression and other mental health disorders,” Smith said. “All human beings have strengths and weaknesses, physical and mental. You’re defined by how you play the hand you’re dealt in life. I’ve spent the last year grieving, in a sense, the fact that I no longer am a football player — the one thing I have been my entire life. Reidentifying myself has been quite the process and learning to be OK with that even more so.

“My advice to anyone suffering from mental health issues — and specifically athletes who can relate — is this: Ask for help. Stop trying to deal with these serious matters alone. You’re not alone. Believe me.”

If you or anyone you know are dealing with depression, don’t be afraid to reach out for one of the national helpline numbers by dialing 1-800-273-TALK, 1-800-784-2433, or 1800-448-4663.

Texas A&M Student Makenzie Alexis Noland Poses With Alligators For Graduation Photos

Makenzie Alexis Noland has gone viral thanks to some unique graduation photos. The 21-year-old student at Texas A&M is studying Wildlife Ecology and received an internship at the adventure park and sanctuary Gator Country in Beaumont, Texas. She has been working as an intern since May and decided to take her bond with the animals to the next level.

That led to Noland posing with an alligator for her graduation photos (which you can see above) and getting the attention of the internet.

Noland, who is originally from Bellevue, Nebraska, is set to graduate this week from Texas A&M with a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. A quick scroll through her Instagram account shows that she was living her best life while interning at Gator Country.

Don’t worry, even the baby alligators got some love.

And it wasn’t just alligators that Noland encountered during her internship. There were pythons and other reptiles that she had no fear of encountering. I guess that is sort of required whenever you are studying Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, though.

Yes, Makenzie. Your internship is much cooler.

Makenzie also got an up close look at Big Tex, the largest alligator at Gator Country. The massive alligator is 13 feet, 8.5 inches long. While some say Big Tex can complain about who comes to feed him, he found a friend in Noland from the moment she began her internship. Now, she even treats the massive “dinosaur” as a dog.

“Whenever you’re training a puppy, you commend them for sitting down and give them a treat. When I’m telling Tex to ‘come here’ using a hand motion I will reward him, tickle his nose and toss food in his mouth,” she said in an interview with FOX News.

The future of our wildlife seems to be in good hands.

Michigan Wolverines 2018-19: Predictions & Preview

If there is any team in the country you can count on to be the hardest working bunch, that would be John Harbaugh’s group in Ann Arbor. With no days off, he is committed to developing the best personnel possible. Unfortunately for him, the Big 10 is back and as dominant as ever. Ohio State is looking like the deepest team in the country, while Penn State returns one of the favorites for the Heisman trophy in Trace McSorley. If Michigan receives a playoff bid in Harbaugh’s fourth try, it will undoubtedly be well deserved.

2018-2019 Summary

Instagram Photo

As the John Harbaugh experiment enters year four, the Wolverines will look to make a playoff push. With quarterback Shea Patterson now running the show, Harbaugh, the quarterback guru himself, will have his most talented signal caller since his days with Andrew Luck. Like rival Big Ten teams Ohio State and Penn State, Michigan will boast one of the most talented defenses in the nation, led by all-world safety Khaleke Hudson. The only thing standing in Michigan’s way, however, is a daunting schedule that has been there Achilles heal in years past. Adding Notre Dame to an already stacked lineup will likely prove too much for the Wolverines. Even if they somehow win two out of their three games against Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Penn State, it still might not be enough. Not to mention a road game against in-state rival Michigan State that will also be a tough challenge. Harbaugh has been tremendous and has recruited some of the best defensive talents in the country, but the schedule will likely provide too much, and the Wolverines will miss the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season.

Record: Wins 10, Losses 2

Week 1: Michigan 28, Notre Dame 21 (W)

Week 2: Michgain 42, Western Michigan 10 (W)

Week 3: Michigan 35, SMU 14 (W)

Week 4: Michigan 34, Nebraska 17 (W)

Week 5: Michigan 38, Northwestern 14 (W)

Week 6: Michigan 42, Maryland 17 (W)

Week 7: Michigan 30, Wisconsin 20 (W)

Week 8: Michigan 24, Michigan State 23 (W)

Judd Apatow Says That Bryan Cranston Auditioned For ‘Pineapple Express’

AMC

Monday, August 6, marked the 10-year anniversary of the release of the stoner comedy classic Pineapple Expressand to commemorate the film’s 10th birthday, Seth Rogen — the star and writer of the movie — tweeted out a bunch of little-known fun facts about the film’s production.

In an epic 20-or-so Tweet thread, Rogen revealed all sorts of juicy behind-the-scenes details, including but not limited to:

  • “Me and my co-writer Evan had to roll all the cross joints needed to film (about 100) ourselves because nobody else on the crew could roll them properly.”
  • “There was NO strain of weed called Pineapple Express when we made the movie. We said ‘if one day, people are out there selling weed called Pineapple Express, it worked’. “
  • “Throughout the fight scene in Red’s house in Pineapple Express, I broke my finger and Danny McBride got his head cracked open when Franco hit him with the bong.”
  • “Originally, Red killed Matheson with a Ford Fiesta, but Ford didn’t want their car involved in a movie murder so we had to change it to a Daewoo Lanos, which is ultimately much funnier I think.”
  • Red was originally supposed to die the first time he was shot when he was tied up in his apartment, but we thought Danny Mcbride was so funny that we just kept bringing him back to life.

Not wanting to let Rogen have all the fun, Judd Apatow, the 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up director who produced Pineapple Express, dropped in from the clouds to provide arguably the most interesting tidbit of all: that Bryan Cranston — Walter White himself — auditioned for the role of the drug dealer Ted Jones.

via Twitter:

“I’ve got one.  Bryan Cranston auditioned. He may have even read at a table read and I said “I don’t think he seems scary enough to seem like a real drug dealer.” If he did PE maybe the Breaking Bad people would have said, “not him, he always plays drug dealers.”

And based on his reaction, it appears that the near-Cranston-casting was news to Seth Rogen, too:

The 32-year-old Rose came out as a lesbian at the age of 12. Because of her sexuality, she was driven to a suicide attempt due to verbal taunts and physical abuse from her classmates in school. Rose has since opened up about being genderfluid.

The message that I sort of wanted to explain to my fans was why I dress the way I dress, or why I am the way I am. Because I still was getting those questions of, you know, ‘why does she look like a boy?’ ‘she could be so pretty if only she had longer hair and wore more make up and wore a dress,'” Rose said, via Teen Vogue. “It’s a bit more complicated than that. I knew the world was starting to talk about transgender and gender as a whole, so the fact that it’s even gotten 25 million views, that’s wild.”

UFC

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns on Tuesday, July 24 with Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender 16 at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas as up-and-coming prospects in mixed martial arts look to earn contracts in the sport’s top promotion. This week, former NFL standout Greg Hardy returns to action under the Dana White’s Contender Series banner for the second straight time when he faces off against undefeated heavyweight prospect Tebaris Gordon.

In his first appearance on the Contender Series, Hardy squared off against fellow NFL veteran Austen Lane and scored a devastating knockout finish.

Shortly into the first round, Hardy uncorked a vicious right hook that immediately dropped Lane to the mat. As Lane was attempting to recover, Hardy followed up with a heavy left hand that put Lane down for the count and forced the referee to come in and bring an end to the fight.

Jordan Ozuna: Hottest Photos Of Younes Bendjima’s Rumored Girlfriend

Jordan Ozuna, the former Hooters waitress who has dated celebrities like Justin Bieber and Tyga, is back in the headlines after being rumored as the new girlfriend of Younes Bendjima. If Bendjima sounds familiar, it is because he’s the ex of Kourtney Kardashian. Bendjima and Kourtney reportedly split earlier this week, so he wasted no time moving on from the Kardashian after two years.

Ozuna’s birth name is Jordan Galipo, but she got married at a young age to Daniel Ozuna. Despite separating, she has kept Ozuna’s last name.

And if you’re really into the celebrity dating scene, perhaps it won’t be long until we see Ozuna and Bendjima hanging out on vacation with disgraced NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel. After all, Manziel’s wife Bre Tiesi is best friends with Ozuna.

Top 5 School Supplies Upcoming College Students Should Have On Their Packing List

0
0

Do you have a kid who is going off to college? Or are you a kid going of to college yourself? Once August comes along, it’s no better time to start collecting up your school supplies! Still, there’s some items you might not think to bring with you or give your kid even if this marks the first time that they leave home. There might be a few things they need to help beat the homesickness. We’ve compiled a list of items it might be wise for new and upcoming college students to bring with them once they start their new school year. Even if you (or your kids) are staying home and communing to school, many of these gifts are still a nice gesture.

Recipes

Yes, everyone loves ramen and it’s simply tradition at this point. Still, variety is the spice of life and young people really need to learn how to cook, the sooner the better! Besides, many dormitories even have some type of communal kitchen. Just make sure said recipes are affordable and reasonable for a college student to make. Preferably, use something that will remind you of home to cure any homesickness. Obviously, this is a redundant gift if the student involved is going to culinary school, but another, spare recipe could just end up another card to play!


Letters for Rainy Days

Like I implied above, homesickness can be expected when people leave home for the first time, as it to be expected with any major change. In college, it can be a slightly easier pill to swallow since college students are at least surrounded by other people in their position, but you can still miss home. A few letters that serve as a reminder of where you come from and encouraging words of wisdom can always cheer someone up.


Money Advice

Now that students are starting college, it becomes important that they have a special talk with their elders. Yes, the money talk. Many upcoming students never had to worry about insurance or even taxes, if they did not work when they were in high school. Things like pieces of money advice on index cards, software that breaks down taxes or even a local CPA’s business card can all come in handy.


Virtual Private Network

Food, water, shelter and clothing are all necessities, but now another item can be added to that list: WiFi! If, for whatever reason, you are unable to use the internet from your dorm or nearby library, you’ll need access to the internet to work on assignments and stay in contact with your professors. In college, you’ll need to check your email to survive more than you ever had to in life before this point! A virtual private network will also add an extra layer of encryption to your data to protect you while in addition to serving as a backup WiFi!


Food

Food is always a good thing. College is the time in your life that you realize that there is really no such thing as a free lunch. You only start to notice when you are the one who has to start paying for it yourself. Sure, food eventually expires in time but all that means is that you have an excuse to eat it. Also, sharing food is always an ice-breaker.


WWE SmackDown Live Stream: How To Watch ‘SmackDown’ Online – 08/07/18

We’re less than two weeks from SummerSlam and the blue brand looks to solidify its portion of the card. The champion will call out his challenger and two sets of friends in the women’s division will get a chance to get their hands on each other. We find out who the Bludgeon Brothers find out their SummerSlam opponents will be and The Miz said he had a big announcement he’ll be making tonight. Here’s how and where to watch SmackDown Live tonight.

Tonight SmackDown Live will be at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

Becky Lynch’s championship match against Carmella at SummerSlam has become a little more crowded with the addition of Charlotte Flair to make it a triple threat. But before the duo turns their attention on each other the friends will be facing off against another pair of friends, The IIconics. Lynch and Flair both have a spotty history with the Australian duo but the IIconics will want to make a statement by beating the two former Women’s Champions.

The tournament to figure out the number one contenders for the SmackDown Live comes to a conclusion tonight. The New Day will take on The Bar for the right to face The Bludgeon Brothers for the titles at SummerSlam. They two teams are not strangers to each other, it was The Bar that ended The New Days historic championship run in 2016. We haven’t seen much of The Bar as of late, can they bring back some of that magic and get the win over The New Day again?

AJ Styles will look to get some words in with Samoa Joe. Joe has been a juggernaut of promos the last few months so it’ll be interesting to see what Styles comes at him with. The two have plenty of history outside the WWE so it’ll be fun to see how this plays out on the biggest stage they’ve had.

Daniel Bryan and The Miz have been on a collision course for a long time. Bryan has finally outright called out The Miz and challenged him to a match at SummerSlam. The Miz responded with an emphatic “NO.” Though now he wants to make a big announcement tonight on SmackDown? It will most likely be something to do with Bryan, and it will most likely not be received well by The American Dragon…
