The manner in which the human body is formed allows for certain joints and appendages to move or rotate within specific, tight parameters. When said appendages are forced in a direction beyond a certain allowable movement, they can cause horrific injuries. 

Edmonton Eskimos (CFL) quarterback Matt Nichols learned this human anatomy lesson the hard way after taking a hit from a rushing defender. 

It's not for the faint of heart (it comes at about :40 into the video).

OUCHHHHHHH!

Of course, if Al Michaels were calling the game he'd say merely that Nichols was out with "a leg"...

Earlier in the week on Election Day, Colorado citizens voted in a landmark bill that would allow for the full legalization and sale of marijuana.

Coincidence?

I think not...

Under the Friday Night Lights of Texas football the Edinburg North Cougars took on the Sharyland Rattlers in a battle for South Texas supremacy. Edinburg North attempted a 44 yard field goal during the game, only to see the kick fall just barely short.

Sharyland though had Sean Landez deep in the end zone and he manages first a most impressive catch off the kick, somehow balancing to keep his feet inbounds. With that, he takes off down the field, receiving a few fortuitous blocks; ultimately Landez goes 109 yards (and based on where he caught it, I think we can safely call it 109.9 yds) for the longest return in football history.

Not too shabby.

As if the Dallas Cowboys' 19-13 loss to the Falcons wasn't bad enough, team owner Jerry Jones found himself an even bigger story after the game. First Jones told reporters that a performance like that on Sunday is enough to fire a GM, except the GM of the Cowboys is Jerry Jones himself...

Then, seeking to speak with his team Jones found himself locked out the squad's locker room. He was seen banging on the door demaning entrance until finally he was admitted. 

America's team!

Hey gang, sorry about the lack of posting recently, ironically, my Brooklyn headquarters was just fine throughout super storm Sandy; alas, my computer thought it an appropriate time to completely die on me. I brought it in to Apple to get fixed (twice) before they finally were able to correct the issues but that's neither here nor there. 

I'm BACK and handsome as ever. 

Buckle up. 

Potentially TERRIBLE news in the NBA came out on Wednesday: the Chicago Bulls waived backup guard Marko Jaric. This news isn't in itself bad, he's a pretty mediocre basketball player, but because of the lasting ramifications.

If Jaric is unable to hook on with another NBA team then that means his wife, the lust-inducing super model Adriana Lima will have no reason to sit courtside at games. What if, god forbid, Jaric signs with a EUROPEAN team and we see the job of Hottest NBA Wife exported across the ocean?

This is EXACTLY the type of thing you can expect in Mitt Romney's America. I can only hope that President Obama, a Bulls fan himself, understands exactly how dire the consequences of losing Ms. Lima would be and steps in immediately.

If need be, for the good of America, I'll marry Ms. Lima instead in order to keep her safe in the US of A.

The big offseason acquisition for the Philadelphia 76'ers, Andrew Bynum is bringing his personal brand of immaturity and oft-injured basketball to the City of Brotherly Love. Currently nursing a sore knee though he is unlikely to be able to play in the season opener. 

A long-time bit part actor, comedian Craig Robinson rose to prominence through his portrayal of Daryl on The Office. Another small role, Robinson saw his screen time increase regularly thanks to his simple, honest and hilarious performances, usually directly opposite the manic actions of Steve Carrell. Going on to star in films like Hot Tub Time Machine and having become a favorite of the Jud Apatow-crew, Robinson will be around long after The Office ends. 

Clearly though, the men are doppelgangers. 

The sports world has been rocked with a doping case that may have long-lasting ramifications. No, I'm not referring to Lance Armstrong being stripped of his titles, (boooorrrriiinnng) but rather the World Carp Angling Championships where the team from England is claiming that the first-place Romanian squad cheated, using secret bait that provided an unfair advantage. 

The Romanians were the hosts for this year's competition and have been feeding the carp in Lake Corbu a special diet for the past five months. Used to the particular recipe, the fish were biting early and often on the rods of the Romanians, much to the Brits' chagrin who were using a different type of bait. 

Even more frustrating for the English team, the move by the Romanians doesn't violate any of the rules of the competition although it does seem to violate the spirit. 

Joining Romania on the winners podium were Serbia and Bulgaria, both of whom noted the special bait being used in advance and stocked up on their own supply of it as well. 

Better luck next time. I guess that's just how the carp crumbles.

(That was terrible.)

When you think of high-quality cinematic entertainment only two names come to mind: Nancy Grace and Ron Artest Metta World Peace. 

Film afficianados everywhere are chomping at the bit to see The Eleventh Victim, based off Grace's first novel, and set to premiere on Lifetime on November 3, Metta plays Garlan Fincher, a detective. Joining World Peace on set is Beverly Hills 90210 alumna Jennie Garth (class of '97) who plays an attorney. 

The project truly came together when Grace and World Peace were on Dancing With the Stars together and Grace became a "big fan" of his. Garth also appeared on DWTS (albeit on an earlier season when many of the participants could at least claim to once being "stars."

Get excited to start seeing World Peace popping up all over the big screen, he is appearing in three other movies in post-production right now. Keep this up and people are going to say he's gone "Hollywood."

Olympic Hottie Lolo Jones has sadly so far fallen short in her quest to win a medal but she has a new avenue towards Olympic glory, the Winter Games. 

Only three weeks into trying the bobsled, Jones was selected as one of six pushers for the US squad as it gears up for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. This after her first run had her finishing only .05 seconds off the leader. Joining Jones on the squad is gold medal winning sprinter Tianna Madison. 

While neither track star is a guarantee to make the final team (there are only 3 push slots available) they're at least putting themselves in a position towards success. Track athletes have long been sought after in the bobsled world because of their speed and explosiveness can be well utilized in getting the sleds underway. 

At the least, we get to fantasize about the uber-sexy Jones in another spandex body suit—and this time with a HELMET.
