Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day trailer

Check it out:

Chad Ochocinco quits Twitter

NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco (who changed his name from Chad Johnson) says that he is quitting Twitter.
Due to the many rules the NFL has made I've found it difficult to enjoy Twitter and I'll be deleting my account :(
The rules are pretty harsh.

Of course, I don't think he's actually quitting Twitter, I expect to see Ochocinco back on Twitter sooner rather than later.

Steve Nash (@the_real_nash) plays pickup games in China

This is a cool story. From ESPN's Ric Bucher:
Local park custom is that you buy a $3 entry ticket and wait for your number to be called to play, which Nash dutifully did. But the crush to play with and against him was so overwhelming that, through the help of a bilingual Chinese native, Nash organized a knockout 3-on-3 tournament, going undefeated while alternating teammates.


He was dressed in costume for the start of the pick up session, with "a bandanna around his head, wearing a pair of clear goggles, brown cutoffs and knee-high soccer socks." They recognized him anyway.

And there's video (thanks to Google Translate, I figured out how to embed it):

How Darrell Hammond is making money post-SNL

Darrell Hammond is no longer on Saturday Night Live after being the longest tenured SNL cast member ever. So how is he making money now?

Apparently like this:

Oregon football player punches Boise State

Here's the video from ESPN:



And here is the response from the player who threw the blow (then, after hearing something from a Boise State fan, had to be restrained from entering the stands):



Clearly, the Boise State player said something to piss off LeGarette Boule (the Oregon player). But the retaliation for whatever the Boise State player said was far worse -- and now Boule, after the first game of his senior season, will miss a significant portion of his final college season due to suspension.

Kevin Eulls should be your hero today

I just heard about this on SportsCenter.

High school football player Kevin Eulls potentially saved the lives of numerous people on a school bus with his actions when a girl pulled a gun:
Surveillance camera footage on the Yazoo County school bus on Tuesday captured 18-year-old Kaleb Eulls tackling the 14-year-old girl while the children evacuated the bus.

He managed to wrestle the .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun from her, Yazoo County Sheriff Thomas Vaughan told CNN.
So why did I hear about it on SportsCenter? Well, Eulls is "a 6-foot-4, 255-pound high school senior and star quarterback who has verbally committed to play for Mississippi State University after he graduates."

According to SportsCenter, Eulls said he was willing to risk his life to save the lives of any of the other students on the bus -- including his three sisters.

And then, amazingly, they all continued on to school.
