Floyd Mayweather
In a rather surprising (and a little bit sad) turn in the war of words between boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey, Floyd has begun trotting out the ol’ “I make more money than you” line to argue he’s awesome.
Of course, Mayweather still has to fight his full fights. Rousey just finishes hers in 30 seconds.

Vaughan Mills Pet Patrol in action.
The topic of leaving your pet unattended in a sweltering automobile on a hot day is becoming an issue that’s popping up in the news more frequently as animal lovers become increasingly outraged about potentially negligent behaviour by pet owners.
At the Vaughan Mills shopping centre just north of Toronto the facility’s staff are taking an innovative and pro-active approach to this problem — the Vaughan Mills Pet Patrol.
I spoke to Vaughan Mills GM Stephen Gascoine about what goes into looking out for dogs in hot cars.
The full interview can be found at Samaritan Mag.

Roddy Piper
When pro wrestler/actor/entertainer Roddy Piper died on July 31 it sent a whole world who grew up on his moral grey area villainy in mourning.
He was, after all, The Joker to Hulk Hogan’s Batman, a villain in name, but more like a yin to Hogan’s yang. In hindsight he was also a was more rich and awesome character than the titular head of Hulkamania.
Sarah wrote a eulogy about Piper explaining this truth and more for Fightland.

Bethe Correia
When martial artist fighter Bethe Correia was soundly trounced in a match against current UFC champ Ronda Rousey recently it wasn’t just about showcasing Rousey’s exceptional skills. It was also, in its own way, about cosmic balance.
See, Correia had rapidly risen through the UFC rankings to become a top contender. But along the way up she also unleashed a trolling carpet bomb on most of her opponents. It was only fair, then, that Rousey would restore a sense of order in the universe.
Sarah wrote about how this all came about for Fightland.

Christopher Meloni in Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp
Christopher Meloni has reprised his role as Gene, the PTSD-afflicted camp cook, for Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp.
Because Sarah is a big fan of Meloni’s work she used this as an excuse to write about the history of his martial arts training for Fightland.
Oh, and she also talked about Meloni’s appearance in the prison drama OZ.
