Blunt Sports Talk from Mr. Bundy: World’s Fastest Knockout; Lebron James’ Sprite Mix; Michael Vick to Jets; Strickland’s 4 three-pointers in 23 seconds

March 20, 2014 by lpahomov Leave a Comment

World’s Fastest Knockout

Well, that was quick. Fun fact, it probably took you longer to read that last sentence than Sam Heron lasted in the Octagon against Mike Garret at WCMMA 14. In only one second (1.13 seconds, to be exact), Gerret delivered a punishing rear leg head kick to Heron’s dome which knocked him out unconscious. The knockout is an MMA record and in case you’re wondering, yes,this is real.

Lebron James’ Sprite Mix

Thirsty? LeBron James has got you covered.

In between leading the Miami Heat to one of the best records in the NBA and trying to keep pace with Kevin Durant in the MVP race, King James also just created his very own Sprite drink. The drink, which is called Sprite 6 Mix by LeBron James, is a mix of Sprite’s traditional lemon-lime flavor along with cherry and orange. It will be available nationwide in the coming months for a limited time.

“I never imagined I would have my own flavor someday,” James said in a statement that was just released. “I’m proud of what we created and I’m excited for my fans to try it.”

So who wants one? Check out the videos below to hear more about LBJ’s new signature drink.

Michael Vick to Jets?

Is Geno Smith going to be the starting quarterback for the Jets next season?

We thought that was the plan. But according to reports out of New York, the Jets are bringing Michael Vick in for a visit on Friday to talk about the possibility of him joining the team for the 2014-15 NFL season. And while it’s just a meeting, Vick is only said to be interested in signing with a team that will allow him to compete for a starting QB position next season. So if things go well and Vick ends up signing with Gang Green, it could be bad news for Smith.

The Raiders and Bills have also reportedly expressed some interest in Vick. So Smith shouldn’t be too worried just yet. But stay tuned. This could get interesting.

 

With only 28.3 seconds left in the the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championship game, the Red Deer College Kings were down by seven points to the Langara College Falcons. You mind as well stick a fork in Red Deer College because they were done, right? Well, no one probably could’ve foreseen the Kings’ Lloyd Strickland going to go off in an effort to bring his team back from the brink by knocking down four 3-pointers in 23 seconds. Unfortunately, even with all of Strickland’s heroics, Red Deer College wasn’t able to complete the comeback. The Falcons were able to hold onto a slim 88-86 win.
