ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNET

The Oft-Imitated Jess Fink (All Over Albany) A graphic artist based in Troy has found various t-shirts and designs that shamelessly lifted her design. A theft of a truly despicable nature, and a practice that unfortunately is on the increase.

High School Star ‘Jerry Joseph’ Caught Lying (Huffington Post) It has all the makings of a Hollywood comedy. A twenty-something, eager to regain the lost glory of his youth, pretends to be a high school sophomore and helps get his team into the play-offs. At the end of the movie, he is revealed as a fake and either delivers an impassioned speech that rallies everyone to cover for him, or he simply walks away in shame only to end up getting the girl after all in the epilogue. In real life, the idiot just goes to jail.

Is Wrestling Taking the Martial Arts Out of Mixed Martial Arts? (Heavy.com) MMA broadcaster Michael “The Voice” Schiavello (who works commentary on various televised events) penned a diatribe on the negative aspects of wrestling in Mixed Martial Arts.

You Can’t Have MMA Without Wrestling (MarshallMMA.com) My response. There were then more responses, including The Voice’s response (via Twitter) to yours truly.

Yes, I linked to one of my own things. What’re you gonna do about it, tough guy?
