Coming July 13, Showtime will give fans a behind the scenes look at the 2010 World Series Champions.

Team Coco at its finest. Yes, this is a spoof, a skit, whatever you want to call it, however, do you really think Sarah Palin’s view of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is much different? We thought so! Enjoy in your downtime.

UFC Buying G4?

CM — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 17:35:21 +0000

The UFC’s plan for world domination has a new twist – the potential controlling purchase of Comcast’s G4 TV station.

G4 is Comcast’s video game station and aligns nicely with the UFC’s 18-34 male demographic. Its common knowledge the UFC has been trying to grow their presence on TV. The UFC’s content can currently be seen on Spike TV and Versus. It would appear the controlling purchase of G4 would mean the end to shows like The Ultimate Fighter on Spike.

With an ever growing fighter roster and library, it seems controlling programming on a already dominant male TV station would be ideal for the UFC. The UFC could produce new, live content and mix in a schedule of “UFC Unleashed” highlight shows to showcase their rich library across their brand as well as the WEC, PRIDE FC and Strikeforce.

Could this be the next step world domination for the UFC?
