DC's streak on the CW

Legends of Tomorrow Pilot Episode With Arrow , The Flash , and now Legends of Tomorrow , what do you think of DC's streak of shows on the CW network? It seems to be doing well and there are some that think they could flood the network. However,  if you watch any of the above mentioned shows you really do not know what else airs on the network outside of the commercials shown when getting your DC on TV fix. Legends of Tomorrow is the latest addition to the CW's DC comics roster and since they do themselves the favor of occasionally mashing the shows up, its hard not to watch. So what do you think of their latest show?  The production value and special effects seem great for television and it could serve as a good way to draw in new fans to both the DC comic related shows, and whatever else is on the network. If you missed the pilot you can catch it on Amazon Video by clicking the image above. Are you watching?  We are, please comment below.

Opinion: Bad homework done to argue against MMA in New York

You really have to do your homework if you're going to argue for, or against something. You have do even more if you are to be taken seriously and not fuel your own agenda. Deborah Glick, assembly member of the 66th district recently wrote a post against lifting the ban on MMA in New York for "The Villager" and tried to paint the sport as unsafe. Ms. Glick did this by citing a study from an issue of The American Journal of Sports Medicine from 2014. She did not provide a link to the study, which means she was referring to an actual paper article from two years ago she may have had some lackey dig up. This is what she wrote: "The attempt to sanitize MMA is betrayed by the facts. According to a recent study in the March 21, 2014, issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, about one-third of professional MMA matches end in a knockout or a technical knockout. A technical knockout occurs when a fight is stopped by a referee who determines that a fighter is...

With many of the same decision makers behind Pride putting on Rizin Fighting Federation events, it was no surprise to see many of the same fighters from the days of Pride. But how was it? Were you impressed? It was definitely one of the best looking MMA events in recent Japanese MMA history but was it enough to make you chase the sport the way Pride FC did when they were competing with the UFC? Hard to tell with only one show, but most long-time MMA fans were excited to watch and having Fedor Emilanenko in the main event was cool, even if he fought an unknown 2-0 fighter. The UFC has done a good job of saturating the US market and establishing themselves as the upper tier promotion for MMA. Could Rizin’s attempt to come back be too little too late? It’s n...
