Yes, you read that title correctly. GRIZZLY BEARS PLAYING ICE HOCKEY!
We don't know how the Russians (Chinese?) trained those bears to play, but wow. Just wow.
Our only real question is, what do you have to pay a referee to officiate grizzlies on skates?

Georges St. Pierre Discusses Major Overhauls to the UFC – and Aliens
Guest post by Simon of silveroakcasino.com
Recently, Georges St. Pierre appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and in a heartfelt interview with comedian and main UFC commentator, Joe Rogan. The two household names discussed a number of possible changes to the UFC that might bring back some of the best elements of the “old school” days.
They also discussed aliens.
1. GSP on the UFC Round Time
“We want to see who is the best man, you know? Let them fight.”
St. Pierre makes it very clear that he does not like the length of the rounds in the UFC. He would actually prefer for there to be no clock at all. Or, at the very least rounds that are in the 15-25 minute range. This is not just an arbitrary preference on the part of GSP. He goes onto give some pretty specific reasons:
1. Rounds only exist in the (modern) UFC to appeal to the boxing crowd.
2. A more “endurance” type of approach to UFC fights is more likely to reveal the “better fighter.”
3. This would be a throwback to the “old days,” where there were no weight classes or rounds.
2. GSP on the UFC’s Octagon
“It’s fine.”
When asked about whether or not Georges was satisfied with the size and shape of the ring, some
interesting ideas popped up:
1. A cage with glass walls.
2. A squared off section of ground with no walls. (Like that of a sumo wrestling match.)
Rogan quickly pointed out that it would be impossible to see the fight through the accumulation of
sweat and blood on a glass surface. He even makes reference to the fact that some people in the
audience find the fight hard enough to see already through the black wire mesh of the cage.
When it comes to a “line drawn in the sand” type of an environment, unlike sumo wrestlers, there is a
good chance that someone could be kicked, punched, or straight-up thrown into the crowd.
They eventually agree that the Octagon is just fine.
3. GSP on Losing the Gloves in UFC Fights
“It could be an option. There would be a lot of broken hands.”
Wearing gloves allow you to basically tee off and punch your opponent as hard as you can, which
benefits the type of fighter that has a focus on striking with the hands more so than anyone else. For
instance, UFC fighters do not wear any padding on their legs, so a kick boxer has to be somewhat more strategic with his attacks.
Rogan and St. Pierre both come to agreement that getting rid of gloves would change the game from
how it currently operates—likely dramatically enough that it would make it less exciting to the amateur outsider looking in, but perhaps more exciting those individuals watching who possess a high “fighting IQ.”
4. GSP on Aliens
“If I see an alien, I put him in a choke hold.”
Georges has an interesting take on aliens. He admits that he has a certain fear when it comes to
beings from space (or another dimension.) This belief comes from the fact that he is among the small
percentage of people who report “missing time.” St. Pierre expresses a healthy skepticism towards
the paranormal, but when it comes to situations where large chunks of time seem to be “wiped” from
his memory, George certainly hasn’t discounted the existence of “the greys,” or some form of alien
intelligence abducting him to for purposes unknown—possibly to study the fighting specimen not unlike the media does.
Fortunately for Georges, Joe Rogan is somewhat of a (self-proclaimed) expert on the nature of so-called “alien encounters.” According to Rogan, there is an extremely high correlation between alien sightings and the production of the highly concentrated hallucinogen dimethyltryptamine, more commonly referred to as DMT.
It could be the case that the extreme training required to maintain a UFC title is plunging Georges into such a powerful dreamscape his brain is overproducing DMT, and effectively playing tricks on him— or maybe it really is aliens. Whatever the case, according to the mixed martial arts fighter, this strange phenomenon has been happening to him since he was a kid.

In Case You Didn't Already Hate Ryan Lochte Enough...
Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte may be somewhat of a polarizing figure - his inability to deliver a coherent interview is the stuff of legends - but now he has taken his powers of absurdity to new heights.
His patented "Jeah" has just managed to ruin one of the more popular songs of the early 2000's. Take a look.

New York Jets Abandon Revis Island - and John Idzik is a Genius
Some of you Jets fans out there are probably tearing your hair out over the loss of Darelle Revis - please don't. Your team is much better off because of it. The Jets get the #13th overall pick in next week's draft, in ADDITION to a fourth-round pick in 2014 that has almost a 100% chance of becoming a third-rounder instead. All Revis has to do is be on the Bucs by the second week of March in 2014...and considering they just gave up the aforementioned first-rounder, that seems like a no brainer. As if that wasn't enough, the Bucs just saddled themselves with a massive contract to Revis, which the cap-loving John Idzik correctly wanted no part of.
Darelle Revis is a malcontent, a bad apple in your locker room. He's the type of guy who inadvertently causes impressionable young prospects to think that they are bigger than the team. Revis never learned that the player works for the organization - not vice versa. You know you're in for a headache when a guy is holding out as a rookie; but when he does that two more times in four years? That's not a person who is likely to change his ways. Revis has always been about the money, and in the NFL your impact players need to be about the wins.
Look at the contract he just got from the Buccaneers - six years, $96 million. Oh hi, isn't $96 mil what the Denver Broncos are giving to PEYTON MANNING?? Sorry, don't care how good Revis thinks he is, how good Rex Ryan thinks he is, or how good Tampa thinks he is - you give that money to a guy who can take you to the Super Bowl single-handed. That person will never be a cornerback. Granted, his new contract has no guaranteed money, but we all know he'll see at least two years of it thanks to that 1st round pick. Regardless of the delusions of both he and his agent, Revis has never been worth $16 million per year. Even if that were possible for a corner, he never will be either after his 2012 ACL injury.
The Jets can now overhaul their draft strategy next week. They can use the #9 pick on an impact pass-rushing prospect, like Barkevious Mingo or Jarvis Jones, or even grab NT Star Lotulelei if he drops down to #9. It can always happen if teams in the top 8 get QB-happy. After that, they can use the #13 pick to draft a solid offensive line prospect, or *GASP* a SECOND impact pass-rusher. if a couple of guys fall, they can snag two top quarterback-killing prospects within four picks of each other. Or they can choose to trade up for a prospect like Dion Jordan, or maybe trade down for additional picks.
The point is, the Jets have flexibility with the cap, the draft, two top-15 picks next week, and they rid themselves of a selfish diva who would accept nothing less than total overpayment. If you doubted John Idzik at the time of his hiring, then rejoice Jets fans - there is a genius in your front office at last.

The Art of Becoming a Website Expert
Carved from the depths of a once-frustrated Knickerbocker fanbase, we at JZ Sports needed more than just several timely articles scrutinizing Jamarcus Russell's NFL career to get noticed.

Jamarcus "Fat" Russell's Comeback?
With a poorly-hyped comeback in the making, we can check in on this writhing, sweating mass of illiteracy and broken promises hard at work.
Remember, this is the same guy who not too long ago was mired in legal trouble and doing things like this.
The fact that he appears to have lost any weight at all is somewhat shocking. The questions that now remain - will he find a new NFL job? If he does, how long before he beats out the Mark Sanchez Buttfumble for "Not Top Ten" supremacy?
SEO Consulting Becomes the Key to Web Presence
The average fan might assume that JZSports pulls in a vast audience with our bevy of belligerent content and quirky grammar skills, but they would naturally be wrong.
SEO consulting services helped take the fledgling J and Z from an amateur-hour blog, to a shining beacon of dynamic sports content and clever SEO.

It was an opportunity we couldn't refuse.
Running a successful business or a website in this day and age is no longer just about posting epic photographs or providing unique services.

If your business does not have a web presence of any kind and you think you don't need SEO consulting services, that is really another problem entirely - and we just feel bad for you.

Enjoy this Photo of John Wall
Just sit back and enjoy this arbitrary photo of John Wall and his dogs on this sunny Saturday afternoon.
We just wish he had Hot Cheetos and Takis in his shooting hand instead.
