The first two matches of the Calcio Storico will be played tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon. Calcio Storico is an ancient version of football played in Italy and is probably the weirdest combat sport in the world. There are 3 matches a year between four teams, with the winners playing later this month.
I'm not completely clear on the rules, to the extent that there are any rules, but basically each team has 27 roided-up Italian men who line up and start beating on each other in a massive brawl, where elbows, punches, choking, etc are all legal. ("sucker punches" are illegal, plus whatever else the referees arbitrarily dont like). Its 50 minutes, there is a ball and whichever team has the ball is trying to beat up on the other team until they see a clear path to the goal, which is a small net. A successful shot on goal is worth 1 point, and a missed shot on goal is worth a half point for the other team. The winning team gets bragging rights for a year and a white cow. There should be a link to the stream, which I'll put up tomorrow if I find it. edit: Here's last year's finals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSQ9KXh4NXw |

My understanding is they had problems with overheating. It's almost like you didn't drive it enough to find out. I like the looks of the LC500. I am just not sure it has enough horsepower. I have a 2001 m3 with low mileage so I don't see myself in the market right away but I am starting to look. I love that car but again I would like more horsepower even though I have made some mods. |
Yoel Romero has lost his battle against the scale for the 2nd straight time (he also failed to make weight for an IC bout earlier this year). He weighed in at 185.2, and missed weight even with the extra 2 hours.
If the fight still happens, then it now can't be a title fight. |

Hopefully the bout still happens and Bobby Knuckles crushes Romero. If its not a title fight anymore, then he's got nothing to lose, and there's good money to be made.

The main event will go on as scheduled as a 5 round non-title bout.
I assume Romero is done at 185 after missing weight again. |
