Today's Friday Random Thing is a great bit by the greater Louis CK. He's my favorite comic, and he should be yours too. If you have seen this, great. If not, watch it. Have a nice weekend everybody.

Friday Random Stuff
Double shot of Friday Random things. The great Trey Kerby of Ball Don't Lie, and the Blowtorch, and other NBA related things, posted a link to this youtube video from Tremendous News. I love Lost, and am looking forward to the finale very much on Sunday night, and this video is a great recap of the series. It's very funny and you should all check it out. And it's got cats.
Flight of the Conchords Friday
Today's Friday Random Thing is another Flight of the Conchords video. It's probably my favorite songs by them, Carol Brown. Hope you have a great weekend everybody. We'll get back to the normal routine next week. Thanks for reading.

Friday Random Stuff
Today's random thing is about Cleveland. After the Cavs laid their third straight suck bomb, this time quitting with a minute left, it's time to revel in how much Cleveland sucks. Who agrees with me? The Rock and Joakim Noah.

Friday Random Stuff
Today's Friday Random Thing is a highlight of one of Bearcats Blog's favorite shows, Community. If you didn't see the epicness that was last night's show, you are missing out.

Friday Random Stuff
Today's edition of Friday Random Stuff is about the big Floyd Mayweather v. Shane Mosley fight this weekend. Mayweather is considered to be the best, or second best fighter in the world with Manny Pacquiao. Shane Mosley is one of the best welterweights in the world. Both have beaten Oscar De La Hoya, Mosley twice. Mayweather is undefeated. Mosley has lost 5 times, to 3 fighters, the late Vernon Forest twice, Winky Wright twice and Miguel Cotto. Mosley's last fight however, was a destruction of then welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Mayweather retired for a year and a half, before returning in September and destroying the great, if not undersized for welterweight, Juan Manuel Marquez. I'm a huge boxing fan, and I can not wait for this fight. Big fights like this happen once in a decade. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer has predicted this fight will not only break the PPV buy record, but smash it. He's predicted 4 million buys. The record is the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight at 2.15 mill. It's going to be an epic encounter. If you are a casual fan, or just interested, I suggest you check out the great Queensbury Rules blog. Tim Starks and company do a great job. I comment over there, so feel free to jump in. You can watch the fight at selected movie theaters. Check out this site, which has a full listing.
My prediction is Mayweather by decision. I don't think Mosley is going to be able to touch him. Shane struggled against good defensive fighters, and Mayweather is the best around on defense. Marquez barely touched him. In fact, it was a compubox low. Mayweather and Mosley have both said they want the KO, but Floyd isn't known for his KOs. He stopped Ricky Hatton, and that's his last big one. I hope you check it out. Here's a great hype video by HBO.
Enjoy your weekend everybody.

Friday Random Stuff
We here at Bearcats Blog, the only Bearcats Blog named Bearcats Blog on the internet!!!!, promise to deliver the basketball season breakdowns starting on Monday. Things are going to go like this. Monday, player breakdowns. Tuesday, memorable games. Wednesday, Bearcat blasts from the past. Thursday, questions and answers. Friday, random stuff. Now that we have all of that clear, let's get to the Friday random stuff. It can be a thing, a rant, a list, a youtube video, a plea for hottie hottie hot hot ladies to go out with me, or anything else that I see fit. Because after all, I'm the one writing this.
The first edition of Friday Random Stuff is undeniably nerdy and dorky on my behalf. It's a post about Shawn Michaels. Now, I am a wrestling nerd. Shawn Michaels has been my favorite wrestler, or one of my favorites, since I was a little kid. I loved the Rockers. I remember when Shawn superkicked Marty Jannetty and threw him through the Barber Shop window. By the way, you don't see things like that anymore in wrestling. There are no Piper's Pits, Barber Shops, Funeral Parlors, or any of that. I think it's because in the mid 90s, everyone at the top was charisma-less, and they had no one to step up and take the reigns on such a premise. Anyway, back to HBK. I remember watching Wrestlemania 10 and the ladder match over and over and over. It was one of the greatest, most innovated matches ever. It was the beginning of Shawn Michaels becoming Mr. Wrestlemania. That would be solidified at WM 12 when he and Bret Hart went for over an hour. HBK won his first title, the 'boyhood dream had come true' as Vince McMahon said. Shawn's attitude problems kept him out of WM 13, but he returned to fight in another innovative match, Hell in a Cell. HBK would go on to injure his back at the Royal Rumble. It would be a career threatening injury. We all thought his match at WM 14 against Stone Cold Steve Austin was his last. It was a hell of a performance for someone would could barely stand.
HBK left wrestling for 4 years. He came back to have a great match with HHH at Summerslam 2002. Unbelievably, HBK kept wrestling. He won the World Heavyweight title at Survivor Series. He ended up fighting Chris Jericho at WM 19. He had a classic with Benoit and HHH at WM 20. He put on a clinic with Kurt Angle at WM 21. He beat the shit out of Vince McMahon at WM 22. He brought the goodness against John Cena at WM 23. He ended Ric Flair's WWE career at WM 24. He and the Undertaker put on one of the greatest matches of all time at WM 25. Finally, he and the Undertaker put on another of one of the greatest WM matches ever this year. The stipulation was the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WM would end, or HBK's career would end. The next night, HBK gave this speech.
A fitting way to end a legendary career. I just mentioned the WM moments, but there were many more great matches. HBK had classics with Mankind, Randy Orton, Cena, HHH, hell, everyone on the roster. He also did this awesome move to Shelton Benjamin.
I just watched that 10 times. Anyway, the point of this whole thing was that Shawn Michaels was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. In fact, I would say the greatest wrestler in the history of the WWE. This may be a Bearcats Blog, but we still send out love to those who deserve it. Anyone who is the best in the world deserves it. Shawn Michaels more than deserves it. Have a nice retirement HBK.
