Are You Ready For Some Football?











After four and a half months of negotiations, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, and a number of owners and players announced that football is back, reports the Los Angeles Times. 
The 2011-12 season will be kicking off on September 8 when the New Orleans Saints are hosted by Super Bowl champs the Green Bay Packers. 
A proposed 10-year deal ended the lockout that began in March, and both sides came out of the negotiations with the results that millions of anxious fans were looking for: the NFL is back.

Turkish Oil Wrestling


From Wikipedia:

Oil wrestling (Turkish: yağlı güreş) is the Turkish national sport. It is known sometimes as grease wrestling because the wrestlers douse themselves with olive oil....


The wrestlers, known as pehlivan (from Persian پهلوان or pehlevān, meaning "hero" or "champion") wear a type of hand-stitched lederhosen called kisbet (sometimes kispet), which were traditionally made of water buffalo hide, but now also of calfskin...



Unlike Olympic wrestling, oil wrestling matches may be won by achieving an effective hold of the kisbet. Thus, the pehlivan aims to control his opponent by putting his arm through the latter's kisbet. To win by this move is called paça kazık. Originally, matches had no set duration and could go on for one or two days, until one man was able to establish superiority...



The annual Kırkpınar tournament, held in Edirne in Turkish Thrace since 1362, is the oldest continuously running, sanctioned sporting competition in the world.



Note from David: Somebody needs to make this sport popular in the U.S.  I'd pay GOOD MONEY to see oiled-up musclemenz rolling around on the ground with each other. Although I already have many DVDs which are quite similar in nature ...
