Like we said here Shark Week is coming. With that video we now know who would win in a fight between a shark and an octopus.

But what if Batman had to fight a shark?

Well, we have done a lot of research and have come up with the answer.

You will have to watch the video to find out, but don’t forget Batman has all kinds of gadgets and gizmo’s for almost any  predicament!

We can’t believe how slow Robin moves down the ladder to help. Also, what’s the deal with him hanging upside down. Did he really need to do that?

First of all Shark Week is coming! This is one of the BC Blog Team’s favorite program that we look forward to every year.
Not only is it coming, but it’s their 20th anniversary and they are promoting it as the “Biggest Shark Week Ever!” We can’t wait.

This caused some debate around the office about sharks and are they the king of the ocean?

What would happen if a shark had a fight with an Octupuss?
There were several people taking side on who would win.

So we could have no more of this debate, we hired a ship and captain. Outfitted it with supplies, divers, shark cages and video equipment. The we set out to find the truth.

Well…. actually we surfed the net and found the truth without having to leave the office.
Watch the video .

What do you think? Is the debate resolved or do we need to hire that boat?

What a coup!

The family of Ron Goldman has purchased the rights to O.J. Simpson’s canceled book, “If I Did It,” from a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee today.

“Ron Goldman LLC will own Simpson’s name, likeness, signature and story and will hawk it to satisfy this terrible judgment. Justice has arrived in Miami,” Goldman’s family attorney David Cook said.

The Goldmans own the copyright, media rights and movie rights. They also acquired Simpson’s name, likeness, life story and right of publicity in connection with the book, according to court documents.

The Goldmans want to rename the book “Confessions of a Double Murderer” and plan to shop it around, Cook said.

According to the settlement, the Goldmans must pay the bankruptcy trustee 10 percent of the first $4 million in gross proceeds and a percentage of all proceeds beyond that.

Just recently Major League Baseball was calling the Slingbox device illegal. Read more here

But now, according to Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal. It’s not a problem for them to use it for themselves.
Apparently cameras have been installed at the home fields of Triple-A Pawtucket, Double-A Portland and Class-A Lancaster to have live shots of Boston’s minor-league affiliates. Then they Sling the action to the Boston Red Sox staff and general manager Theo Epstein.

Joe McDonald says:

Boston’s baseball operations staff can’t always get to all of the games, so a wireless image from a center-field camera is sent back to the offices at Fenway Park, allowing Epstein and his staff to watch every game.
It is not unusual for Epstein and his staff to watch a Red Sox game at Fenway and then turn on the in-house feed to watch the JetHawks from the West Coast.

This, in my opinion, is a great use of the Slingbox and Slingplayer.

More and more companies are starting to find cool ways to use the Slingbox to get them live video from remote places. See this article about how CBS5 is using the Slingbox, as a good example.

If you read this article, about Chris Benoit you know that thier was speculation into his use of steroids.

Well now, FOX News has announced that Chris Benoit was juicing his own mentally retarded 7 year old son!
They said that there were “track marks” on the boys arm.

So who knows if Chris himself was juicing these last few months, but we NOW KNOW he had to be crazy.

Well, that is unless the wife was juicing the boy, not Chris.

The child suffered from a rare medical condition called Fragile X Syndrome, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism, said Jerry McDevitt, an attorney for World Wrestling Entertainment

Watch this video of the full report, you will see it under the Sports Illustrated interview.

Unless you have been on the moon.

You have already heard about Pro wrestler Chris Benoit, who we are told, strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley.

Benoit’s 43-year-old wife was killed Friday in an upstairs family room, her feet and wrists were bound and there was blood under her head, indicating a possible struggle.

Daniel was probably killed late Saturday or early Sunday, the body found in his bed, the district attorney said.

Also, no suicide note was found. If you have not heard the whole story, read this.

This is a very sad story.

But now they have found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether the muscle man nicknamed “The Canadian Crippler” was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as “roid rage.”

If you think the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) group is going to say steroids were a factor in the senseless murders and suicide, think again.

The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., issued a statement Tuesday evening saying steroids “were not and could not be related to the cause of death. Before any toxicology results are in, they are already stating on their website.

They also said:

  Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation).

This next quote is almost funny, of course they were not the directly related, Steroids did not asphyxiate his wife and son.

  The wife’s feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death.

So, since he didn’t beat them to death he was not on ‘roids?

This next quote from WWE I tend to agree with.

  WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts.

We shouldn’t speculate that steroids had anything to do with this, until the reports are back.

But, this just points out that the WWE is already taking a stand that these senseless murders were not steroid related and it shows that they are not that interested in curbing steroid usage or pursuing the issue.

We know the WWE makes tons of money from their “sport” and that Pro Wrestling is one of cable’s highest rated shows.

So, I doubt you will see any steroid investigations internally at WWE, like you have seen on other sports like Baseball and Football.

They need their guys big. strong and bigger than real life!

Congrats to Tiger and Elin Woods!

Not 24 hours after Woods finished second at the U.S. Open on Father’s Day, his wife gave birth. Tiger Woods announced it on his Web site - http://www.tigerwoods.com - that Sam Alexis Woods was born early Monday morning.

Congrats to the Woods family and now it looks like Tiger is going to be able to be at the inaugural AT&T National PGA Tour event, which will be held from July 2-8.

Cool, Since I will probably be out of town, I now have a good reason to Sling the tournament!

Oh, and yes, Sam is a Girl and we can’t wait to see the photos.

Oh and, Yawn….. Julia Roberts gave birth on Monday to a baby boy, her third child with husband Danny Moder, People magazine reported on its Web site.

To use a line from the Comic Book guy from The Simpsons.

The NBA Finals are over — what, you didn’t know they had started? —Well the San Antonio Spurs’ swept the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0

As I predicted in this YouTube Video after the Spurs beat the Suns, this is what we would look like watching the rest of the NBA playoffs.

.

.

Soon as the Phoenix Suns - San Antonio Spurs series was over the rest of the playoffs were going to be boring to watch.

Seems I wasn’t alone. Reading some of the viewer ratings, not only did folks think it was not going to be exciting, they didn’t bother to watch it all all.

San Antonio’s four-game sweep of Cleveland finished with a record-low 6.2 television rating and 11 share on ABC, according to Nielsen Media.

It was down 27 percent from the 8.5/15 for Miami’s six-game victory over Dallas last year and 5 percent under the previous low, a 6.5/12 for San Antonio’s six-game win over New Jersey in 2003.

The NBA finals averaged 9.3 million viewers this year.

San Antonio’s series-winning 83-82 victory on Thursday night got a 6.5/12, down 17 percent from the 7.8/14 for Game 4 last year.

Now there is all kind of talk about seeding the playoffs. That means forgetting the division alignments and rating teams one through 16, regardless of conference. With this idea the hope is that the best two teams will actually meet up in the playoff finals, regadless of their geographic location or the East-West conference.

Then this would eliminate basically what happened this year where the two best teams met up in an elimination series and the winner went on to trounce the rest of the division and the East conference champs.

I doubt they will be seeding the playoffs anytime soon, they have been talking about it for years, but something needs to be done.
