UFC on FX 8: Belfort vs. Rockhold fight videos of Vitor Belfort (22-10) vs Luke Rockhold (10-1). The main event bout took place on 05/18/2013 in Jaragua do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil at the Arena Jaragua. The bout of the night was shown on FX TV.
VItor is correct in that TRT is legal, I mean we have billboards for it here in the US. That said, he makes it pretty obvious the advantage it gives a fighter. Cant blame him at all, it is not against the rules, but what a horrible message it sends out to aspiring fighters/society. Take PEDs or die. just my .02
I think what we saw tonight was more skill than any advantage TRT gives… the man just is naturally faster than most. Awesome fight for Vitor. Thanks as always to Bruno for getting this up so quickly.
Nice work Vitor!
Holy s***. That kick came outta no where …
The streak continues…
you have to be an MMA legend in order to beat Vitor Belfort.
Dayummm! All I wanna know is where #%*& can I get some TRT?
rockhold was the favorite lol the ufc could have at lest gave him a more even match first like stan or bisping but i think i think rockhold is still a force to recon with but this just seemed like a give me to me bottom line being the level of compitition
rockhold why you no takedown
TrT doesnt make you throw perfectly timed spinning heel kicks. Technique and practice does. Take the TrT away and hes probably going to throw and land that kick 9/10 times. Its not like hes Dan henderson at 40+ doing trt hoping to land 1 punch. Hes utilizing every facet of his game with stunning technique and poise. GET USED TO IT.
Rockhold keeps his hands low. He paid for it.
agreed, it is legal, but what are the long term effects? Will he be able to live day to day without it after he retires?
You f****** idiots…..you can take all the TRT in the world that's never going to help you get the timing to KO someone out with a spinning heel kick. That takes SKILL and PRACTICE.
Just like Uriah Hall's and Edison Barbosa's spinning heel kicks.
Just wish he'd had done that to Jon Jones
Lol, no TRT doesn't give you technique, but it allows your body to perform as it couldn't if natural aging were accounted for. You go over 33 years old at 180 lbs and you're starting to creak, your muscles slow down and you just don't recuperate like you used to. It's even earlier for smaller fighters.
This isn't supposition. You can graph performance over thousands of athletes, and if you see a second peak in an athlete's career, it's almost certain to be artificial enhancement.
Like all the other fighters that need an artificial boost, Vitor just just shot up too much junk early in his career. Now that is conjecture, but it's a good bet to be true.
that bitch boy got knocked the fuk out LOLOL…..luke was the only guy from sf that was not a real champ….. cuz he all know he lost to jacare and if they rematch jacare would eat him
Welcome to the UFC Rockhold
@Konrad – What, you think T just makes you bigger? Nay. Stronger. Faster. Better cardio. But above all the ability to go hard and drill every day without burning out, so you come in far more skilled and prepared than you would otherwise.
Drillers are killers.
Since it's allowed you have to be on it or you are giving a huge advantage to the opponent.
Another Brazilian gets a storybook ending fighting in Brazil. First it was Big Nog submitting a guy who had never been submitted right after recovering from a broken arm. Then, it was Anderson Silva landing a phantom knee against Bonner, again, a guy who's never been stopped separate from a cut. Then, Belfort head kicks Bisping silly. Tonight, Belfort again head kicks the SF champ and earns an easy win. You couldn't even script this… wait???
Serious, only one fighter has ever come over as a legit champ in a rival org and won their first fight. That was Overeem, who coincidently, was then popped for too much test in a 'surprise drug test' and then lost his next fight looking lethargic. Champs Pettis, Condit, Lombard, Melendez and now Rockhold all got beat in their first fight in the UFC. The first four fights were controversial decisions to say the least not to mention the UFC outright refused to give Pettis his deserved title shot against Edgar because they knew the fight wouldn't go to decision and Pettis would KO Edgar making the UFC champ look weak. Had Melendez won the decision a few weeks ago then things would be different. That horrible decision solidified it for me.
Not to mention Anthony Johnson was beating Vitor on the ground in Brazil and the ref stood them up three times in the first round. Worst stand ups I've ever seen, ever. Johnson was punishing Vitor on the ground with powerful GnP. Don't believe me check out Vitor's speech after winning. His eye is completely shut. That was from about one minute of GnP from Johnson. Had the ref not got Johnson off Vitor for no reason three times Johnson would have TKO'ed him. Say goodbye to Vitor headlining free cards in Brazil and making tons of money for the UFC. Maybe that's why he's on TRT in Brazil and not Vegas. Vegas probably won't license him because he's been busted for roids in the past.
/ agree to all comments that state, TrT does not throw perfect reverse heel hooks. GSP is using as well, so don't be so quick to judge Vitor! Exp and skills won that fight not PED's. American fighter nut huggers need to realize, even their favourite fighters use PED's, with maybe a few acceptions that don't! But truley more high level pro athletes use PED's, than high level pro's that don't! Hate to break it to you, but your favourite athletes are most likely on drugs! Cry about it!
TRT is a anabolic steroids pure and simple. It is cheating at highest form in athletics.
So you bone heads get that facts strait!!
There is no such thing as an athlete finding a second peak where all of a sudden they begin performing the same or better as their first peak. Chael Sonnen said that Vitor is "finally starting to believe in himself". I have used testosterone supplements and let me tell you, they give you a confidence you wouldn't otherwise possess. Vitor's body, his face look completely different, like he has morphed back into a young man. Sure he has skills and talent, but those slowed down and his confidence sucked without it. It is cheating, period.
That was Facking awesome!
Contrats to Vitor, he should now be named the interim TRT Champion!!!
I don't care what you guys say, DOPE is DOPE. We want to see a pure art form for who has the best training and God given ability. I am not into a 35 year old dude getting a second chance on DOPE because he got he behind handed to him in the past and was considering retiring. He looks like a 21 year old soccer player. No way he would look and perform this way with regular nutrition. Pat Healy cannot smoke some WEED which grows naturally on this Earth but others can do TRT? All fighters should be able to do Cocaine because that is more natural than TRT. "You continue to turn back the clock." Yes, because I have Testosterone levels of a 21 year old. He says God gave him this, nope, TRT gave you this. Don't use God if you are not completely leaning on him.
Jesus God drivel, TRT use, bad haircuts etc…no question, Vitor is one dangerous dude.
TRT is just Testosterone shots steroids. It has it's advantages and disadvantages. Advantage stronger, faster and the confidence of superman. Disadvantages gives you poor stamina and extreme arm pump, which sucks in a fight. When I fought and was on test, I was extremely tough in the first round but after that, I was gassed out. Without it I could last 3 rounds easy but not near as tough in that first round!
lol @ arm pump as a side effect. Just because you took steroids doesnt mean you know what the hell you are talking about.
A spinning kick to the Jaw is what won Vitor the fight, not taking testosterone. Wow the idiocy on here is remarkable sometimes.
You know why Vitor needs TRT? Because when he competed back in the day in an unregulated sport – EVERYONE was taking it. These guys put themselves at risk (with HUGE opponents on steroids and literally almost NO rules) so that the Luke Rockholds of today could compete and make a living out of it. That's why Vitor needs TRT now. So Luke should say "Thanks for the physical harm you've done to yourself in the past so that the rest of us could compete today"
Just to clarify (though I dont think people will read this) TRT is to replace your natural testosterone levels that for whatever reason are low. I had testicular cancer and I'm on TRT now. I take approximately 100 mg's per week which is what the average human male makes and I have blood work to make sure my levels stay within the normal range. That basically makes me on par with you guys on here. I am no super man and my strength is average – there is NO advantage I have with my TRT over any of you – the only advantage would be to YOU GUYS if we were to fight and I wasn't on my TRT. HOWEVER if I were to INCREASE those dosages then YES – THAT'S CHEATING!!!
There seems to be an adolescent level of understanding on these sites… it amazes me how stupid and ignorant so many of you people are…
I only wish none of you will have to understand exactly what TRT is from personal experience.
vitor is a trt beast he is under 5.0 radio a new breed chael sonnen is a trt looser a froud frank mir too is a bioachhh and the rest goes on. overeem was more than 16.0 I wish vitor would go up to at least 15.0 he will be a monster just like the old times
It doesn't matter what any of you say. Vitor won the fight WHILE on TRT. It doesnt matter if he used the most skill based technically advanced move to win the fight. Do that while training naturally and then we'll talk.
we did it mama!!!!! go betor
Actually JDick, it doesn't matter what YOU say. Scroll up and read my reply, then re-read it about 10 times. If that doesn't enlighten you, I suggest you find a train track and lay down on it and wait.Hopefully U can do this before you have a chance to procreate.
If thats what Vitor did to Rockhold, imagine what Anderson Silva would do to him
whats the story with TRT in boxing does anyone know?
Most of the idiots on here dont even know what TRT is by the looks of the comments.People talk about like TRT is a substance,for example "TRT is just Testosterone shots" and"where #%*& can I get some TRT?"or "You f****** idiots…..you can take all the TRT in the world…"
For gods sake,TRT is TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!! its not a substance,or a sterioid,its a medical "therapy"to raise testosterone levels….
I dont think TRT would be an issue as long as the individuals testosterone level is normal on fight day. Fighters should be required to give notice prior to signing the fight that they are on it and show proof it was prescribed by a physician due to low levels or whatever medical reason. Then the UFC should require a weekly testosterone level log throughout the extent of their training camp. This way, for fighters that truly need it; they use it without it being considered cheating. I'm no expert at all but its sounds like it would work anyways.
Yeah but the problem is Vitor doesn't have testicular problems…Also I don't know about Brazil and their Atheltic commission if they have one.So it's highly possible he abused TRT and wasn't on normal levels.I don't care about a guy like Forrest taking TRT because he lost a testicle when he was younger.But if you ever tested positive for steroids BEFORE taking TRT then you shouldn't have the right to take TRT because the only reason you need it is because you abused steroiss in the past.
@this guy, get your mma facts straight before writing an essay putting out a stupid point on Anthony Johnson, vitor beat the guy and HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE WEIGHT! Riddle me that idiot! A Johnson is in fact at his natural weight now fighting at HW! So he deserves no credit!
Sweet kick, but hard to be impressed with a so in your face type cheater.
Thecyclops TRT is TEST 100 jack off, which is steroids.. What a retard
Brian Stann's a f****** f**!!! TRT is legal for all men to get prescribed due to LOW T. I have it at 35 and I have to take test replacement as well. It's far from similar to Sammy Sousa and Mark Mcgwire. Those guys were on REEM size cycles. Look at vitor, he's small and ripped which goes to show you he's on the normal range of test. All you haters need to shut the F*** up and stop crying. Especially Brian Stann!! What an idiot!!
At the people justifying TRT when it is blatantly obvious it's possible to abuse TRT rather than use it for health reasons. Sonnen was flagged for high test. His levels were 16.9/1. The average guy or someone on TRT for health reasons their levels are 1/1. Take a look at a rejuvenated Belfort and tell me his levels are 1/1. Even in Vegas a fighter can have levels of 4/1 and they're still cleared to fight. Vitor only fights in Brazil now so that right there is a serious red flag, especially considering his bodily transformation since he began fighting in Brazil. The same people bitching about Overeem in the past are probably the same people backing TRT and Vitor now. They're allowing these levels because it rejuvenates older guys like Wandy, Hendo and Vitor and for guys heading in that direction it gives them a chance to finish their careers strong. TRT is now becoming a precedence in the UFC and it will only evolve from there. Fighters on the treatment have a legal right to pump up their test to at least a 4/1 ratio and there is no doubt this is being abused especially overseas. Don't believe what people tell you, use your mind.
Simple point is this: We as fans want to see our favorite fighers fight longer. If they black ball TRT all around, so many fighters will be done. Hendo, sonnen, Wandy, belfort, so many more. they'll all be toast at age 30. And the up and comers like Rockhold etc will have to hang up the gloves young. That's just a fact. The way these guys train can cause low T alone as well as past steroid use. I have low T at 35, a lot of men our age do. It sucks and I never did steroids. U ever see all these low T commercials all over TV right now? It's turning into a massive industry and it's legal. If you and I are allowed to get prescribed testosterone, why can't these guys? It's becoming mainstream, I'm sure more sports will allow it over time otherwise all of us out here in the real world will have to be banned from it as well. In the end, if TRT is banned, this amazing sport (MMA) will only be made for young men 18 to 29, which can't be a good marketing thing for the UFC. TRT gives the brand name older fighters a much longer shelf life and that's just a fact. End of stroy…
You all need to spend some time reading medical research on TRT. Any doctor will tell you that TRT is only for those that are unhealthy. An example of that would be testicular problems and other ailments that severely effect your health. Many studies prove that testosterone does not lower with age, it can stay the same in a healthy, active person. I agree with TRT for those that truly need it, NOT FOR ATHLETES THAT ABUSED ROIDS EARLIER IN THEIR CAREERS. Don't cheat and you won't need it. Please do some medical research before you guys post.
TRT is legal, but the post fight lab tests and results are not in….
TRT is testosterone replacement therapy.Idiot.
Fact is if you can't compete naturally then you need to hang up the gloves. Why should we feel sorry for guys like Belfort, Wandy and Hendo who had amazing careers and need to exit the sport with grace, not abusing their bodies using drugs just so they can compete which coincidently, might have serious long term repercussions on their health. Where are the studies done on men who competed using TRT fifty years ago? That's right, TRT is a new medicine. Medical doctors don't even know the repercussions of long term use of TRT not to mention abusing TRT by taking elevated doses and then competing in a high stress environment. Remember in the past doctors used to back cigarettes and tell people to smoke because it calms nerves. Many people learned the hard way!
People who approve of steroids in sports and TRT care nothing for the health and safety of the athlete. I think Belfort, Wandy and Hendo have done a great job with their careers and I would like to see them 20 years from now at some event. But if they continue to compete with the assistance of drugs which have not been proven according to a long term health evaluation then a few of them might end up at home drooling on their slippers. TRT should be banned in all sports until such a time doctors can learn the long term side effects by testing their non athlete medical patients. Observers who like this stuff most likely enjoy watching these fighters beat each other to a pulp. That is not Martial Arts. Wrong sport. Go watch youtube and type in kimbo slice.
I think the mantra in most sports and in fact, in most careers typically is:
"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'"
Think about how many times you've bent the rules in your job or general activities.
I doubt Rockhold would've beat a non-TRT Vitor anyways…
Avengedlevis7x = BS. Chances are, this keyboard warrior has never been in any competition and obviously knows nothing about PEDs.
TRT does not make you throw perfect kicks…..BUT, it allows you to train, deal with injuries, and build strength. So yes, TRT does greatly affect his performance in the cage.
TRT is just a pretty name to make it sound better. TRT is synthetic testosterone, anabolic steroids is synthetic testosterone. TRT is nothing more than pharmaceutical grade anabolic steroids. Google it retards….
Yes. It is s steroid. It is EXOGENOUS testosterone. What is important to understand (and what you clearly fail to grasp) is that a person taking (NOT ABUSING) TRT will have the same levels of testosterone as you do right there sitting on your keyboard spewing ignorance. There is NO ADDED ADVANTAGE!!! UNLESS they are ABUSING IT BETWEEN TESTING – but that happens in all sorts of sports with all sorts of different steroids.
My argument is about semantics. It's that people intermittently use the term TRT to indicate superior performance or benefits from a physiologic perspective and that is NOT TRUE – that only comes when the individual is ABUSING it. and FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, when you are taking ABOVE the recommended dose – that is no longer TRT – that becomes steroid abuse.
@ dankarelli – So just because I have a difference of opinion, you want me to kill myself and genocide my future? Wow. You're a real pillar of humanity. Please tell me you're not, or never will be in a position of leadership in any capacity whatsoever. I think your the one who needs to cut your balls off and spare any future children the misfortune of suffering your "life skills".
To everyone else who can read without going into an immature rage, all I'm saying is this. An Indy wins the race using the same engine, tires, etc, as everyone else. But he also had nitrous to use just in case he needed it down the stretch, how well would that be received? Would any of you earnestly accept a loss by someone on TRT if you were in Rockhold's position?
Dankarelli knows for a FACT that Vitor was not abusing TRT.
No rule violation means no problem. Disagree with the rules if you want.
My real confusion is that people who watch sports are so ignorant of the effects of testosterone. It doesn't do the work, but it allows you to do it and get results.
T makes everything better. Everything. Maybe you have to be older, have taken it and train daily to understand. I'm about to get on it myself to help my respiratory system.
Enough about TRT! Did you see that spinning heel kick to the head and the subsequent finish? That was spectacular. Now, we'll see about the post fight test results….
I wonder what would have happened if Rockhold would have used some of that Butter's Special Creamy Goo.
Jfool. You seem to have a hard time reading, or perhaps comprehension is your issue. There is no "Nitro" with TRT, no advantage whatsoever.. Like I said before, if Vitor's TRT was done properly, Vitor should have the same testosterone levels as you do. It's a supplementation to put your levels within a normal range. How is this a difficult concept to understand? I'm on TRT, and I need it. Without my TRT my Testosterone levels are almost zero because when I dont take it I get demotivated, suffer from insomnia, depressed (clinically), irritable, I store fat, I lose muscle (despite working out), my sex drive plummets and my ability to maintain a full erection suffers. It's a sickness. When I take my testosterone, It puts me into the normal range I would be producing if I didn't have cancer previously. I dont all of a sudden learn to do a spinning heel kick, or slap on another 20 lbs of lean muscle. It makes me "normal".
SO technically, Vitor should be at a DISADVANTAGE if he doesn't take his TRT. But with his TRT he should be level (hormone wise) with Rockhold.
NOW – IF VITOR is UPPING HIS DOSAGES between fights that is a WHOLE other discussion.
My problem comes from the fact that there is a MISUSE of the term TRT. TRT is medicine to make a person's testosterone level normal for their age.
If Vitor suddenly looks Jacked up and profoundly different from before – that my friend is not TRT but STEROID ABUSE. 2 distinctly different terms.
I am a medical professional, I have studied endocrinology for years, I also have friends who are competitive bodybuilders and who use steroids, and I use TRT as a medicine. SO yes JDICK, I know a s***-ton more than you. Instead of trying to be right (which you are not) take this opportunity to learn a little knowledge and open your mind)
Realistically speaking, we aren't disagreeing on the advantages of steroid abuse, Im simply trying to educate you on the difference between TRT use and steroid abuse.
So, once again, I'll reiterate for you:
There is no Physiological "ADVANTAGE" to taking TRT. It actually levels the playing field. The comments on here refer to Testosterone ABUSE – and that is NOT TRT!!!!!!!
FYI – I think Vitor is probably cheating and probably drops his levels to within the normal range when it comes time to test. This is the problem, but an easy fix: If we test him regularily, there is no issue. He wont be at an advantage because then he would have to stick to his TRUE TRT regimin and his testosterone levels would be typical.
There is a legitmate use for TRT and athletes who need it shouldnt be banned from taking it. Unfortunately all it takes is a few fighters like Vitor to abuse the system, and a generation of internet jackoffs to misinterpret the truth and give TRT in general a bad name.
Not sure how many peopl will read this but hopefully SOMEONE learns the difference.
Vitor needs to be tested regularily. I bet if they did they would find him jacked to the titties on mega doses of testosterone (again, NOT TRT).
blah blah blah im sick of hearing about TRT…that sall everyone is talking about…PLEASE someone answer me this…why in the World were people RANKING ROCKHOLD so HIGH?? who did he beat???
@ Dankarelli – tl;dr
To everyone else I think the issue here will be not the use of TRT, but the abuse of it. TRT is not just some feelgood drug for middle-aged fighters. I have always liked Vitor, but im afraid he's gonna have this win vacated.

Anyone else notice it looks like Rockhold gives Vitor a head nod to throw the kick just before the kick is throw? Fixed fight?
All this TRT talk means absolutely NOTHING!! Why? Because despite some people's negative opinions about it the UFC is still making money off of Vitor Belfort. He's still putting butts in seats and getting viewers to tune in. The Vitor Belfort/TRT talk becomes relevant when it starts affecting viewership and having a negative impact on the revenue and profits. When that happens, Dana White will take notice and make something happen that Vitor doesn't want to happen.
But I highly doubt it will ever come to that. The UFC will continue on its path, the people will continue to attend the events and buy PPVs. And since that will happen despite all this TRT talk, its easy to come to the conclusion: all this TRT talk means NOTHING.
lol @ JDogg. You had an opportunity to educate yourself, and chose not too. Typical. Next time I'll use happy faces and emoticons if I want to pass some knowledge for you. Or better yet, I probably wont bother.
Hopefully 1 person read it and gained some knowledge, seeing as how it's a topic being discussed (incorrectly) ad nauseum.
@ Dankerelli – I agree, you probably had some useful info in your elitist response from up there in Canada. But I stopped reading at "jfool". Really? jfool? You're better than that man. When you grow up and stop using 3rd grade comebacks, maybe I'll have some civilized discussion with you. Until then I won't bother either.
I wasn't gonna reply, but I had to tell you how funny your line "elitist response from canada" was.
Dude, you crack me up. seriously, I laughed out loud.
thank you.

Things didn't go very well for the New York Yankees in the first weekend of the season, as the Bronx Bombers dropped three straight to the Tampa Bay Rays. When you think about the Yankees and the Rays, you can't help but think about the massive discrepancy in payrolls between the two teams. The Yankees, unsurprisingly, lead the league with a payroll of $197,962,289; the Rays, on the other hand, have the sixth-lowest payroll at $64,173,500. Most shocking of all, the Rays are the better team, both now and for the foreseeable future.
So, what are the Yankees spending their money on?
Clearly, the Yankees aren't the most fiscally responsible team. They owe $150 million to Alex Rodriguez, largely so he can break the all-time home run record and go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee. They gave Rafael Soriano $35 million to be the heir apparent to Mariano Rivera, even though Rivera is still pitching at a high level. They're paying AJ Burnett $11.5 million this year, and he's not even on the team anymore. They already have $70 million on the books for 2016. The Yankees have made their bed, and they'll continue to lie in it.
But the Yankees' high payroll isn't entirely their fault. Today's contracts don't just consist of a dollar amount and a number of years; players receive plenty of perks that come out of the team's pocket and add to the payroll. For instance, Rodriguez's deal includes a $30 million marketing deal that kicks in as he approaches Barry Bonds' home run record. CC Sabathia gets a suite for road games. Then, there are the typical performance bonuses that come with successful seasons and long-term durability.
That durability is important because teams often pay millions of dollars in salary to players who aren't even fit to compete. In 2011, the Yankees paid Pedro Feliciano $4 million to rehabilitate a rotator cuff injury, but he isn't likely to pitch this year either—and that will cost the Yankees another $4 million. Insurance for baseball players isn't the same as insurance for individuals; the club is responsible for on-field injuries as a worker's compensation insurer. With the high cost of physical therapy and surgeries, not to mention conventional insurance for front office staff, medical care costs the Yankees millions of dollars each year.
Finally, the Yankees have expenses that don't show up on the payroll sheet. The Yankees have an academy in the Dominican Republic dedicated to finding, signing and grooming undiscovered talent. The new CBA allows the Yankees to spend up to $2.9 million on international players, a limit the Yankees will likely meet in 2012. The Yankees must also sign their draft picks; while the Yankees have been accused of "cheaping" out on draft day, they've consistently spent above market value in order to bring in prospects. Lastly, there's the dreaded luxury tax, to which the Yankees have paid an average of $20 million per year over the last decade.
So, what have the Yankees spent their money on? An organization that aims to balance the needs of top talent, the injury risks inherent in baseball, and the desire to acquire future stars. Not as easy as it looks, even with the highest payroll in the game.

Guest Star: "People Were Really Doubting Big Pun & Labels Didn't Want To Sign Him"
Monday, Feb 7, 2011 3:10PM
[In honor of today marking the 11th anniversary of Big Pun's passing, Big Pun: The Legacy director Vlad Yudin sheds light on the late Terror Squad member's run in hip-hop.]
I had a great privilege to be involved with the Big Pun film. I definitely contributed to people remembering him, even though people pay a lot of tribute to him. I feel the film deserves a little bit of attention and that it was a positive thing. It got people talking about Pun a little bit and kind of remembering him more. There were a lot of artists in the film talking about him again, which is great.
I just hope that the fans keep his legacy going, keeping him in their hearts. We're talking about one of the greatest artists in hip-hop and I think it's such a positive thing.
I feel like even though there were a lot of obstacles against him and people were really doubting Pun [because of ] the weight situation of course, and labels didn't want to sign him because they didn't believe in him for different reasons. But because he was demanding respect and because he was such a skilled rapper and not willing to quit, he achieved greatness. I feel like that's an important message. It's definitely something that demands appreciation.
From doing the film, I really developed a lot of appreciation from learning about the story of his struggle. He had so many things going against him in life, in general. He was able to overcome it and still achieve success. I think it's a story that's meant to be. If a person is meant to be successful, then he or she will be successful.
I still feel like after the film came out people were still talking about the violence and were still criticizing him and trying to take sides. That's what I noticed on the Internet. I think people should remember him for what he left, which is music. That's what I feel his legacy is about.
Vlad Yudin is a movie director who made headlines throughout 2009 for releasing his Big Pun: The Legacy documentary which detailed the late rapper's rise to fame through interviews with friends, family, hip-hop artists, actors/actresses and business executives.

Thanks to (归功于; 多亏) generous (慷慨的) donations (捐赠物; 捐赠) from East Texas neighbors (邻居), one family has a new home of their own (他们自己的房子).
The Moore family home was destroyed (毁掉; 摧毁) back in January when a storm (暴风雨) caused a tree on their property (房地产) to fall.
The tree fell on the Moore family's home on Raspberry street, outside of Frankston and near Lake Palestine.
"Then BOOM (轰鸣声). That tree came down (落下). I didn't know what hit our house," said LaShonda Moore.
The tree came down in LaShonda's kitchen (厨房), just feet from where she was sitting.
"I said 'Dad, dad a tree hit our house!', and he said 'oh, you've got to be kidding me (你在跟我开玩笑吧)', and I said 'yes, a tree hit our house'," Moore said.
The storms that knocked the tree onto their house left a big hole in the middle of their mobile home ([美国英语]<由汽车拖拉的>活动房屋,旅游居住车). It was damaged beyond repair (无法修理; 无法补救).
The Moores, who have a history of medical struggles, with a son who has autism (自闭症) and an adult with a seizure disorder (癫痫), didn't know what they were going to do.
They moved into a hotel temporarily (临时地) while they tried to figure out (想出; 弄明白) what to do, but when their money gave out (被用完,耗尽), they knew they would likely be homeless (无家可归的).
In the meantime (在此期间;与此同时), their neighbors came together to help out (帮助…解决困难,帮助…对付).
An anonymous (匿名的) donor (捐赠者) stepped in (插手,介入,干涉) and donated (捐赠) a new mobile home to replace (代替; 取代) the one that was destroyed.
However, actually (实际上; 事实上) moving the new mobile home onto their land was another financial (财政的,财务的;金融的;资金的) issue (问题). Neighbors pitched in (参与并帮助) to raise money (筹款;募捐), and just this week, the Moore's home was moved onto their land and the destroyed home was removed (搬开;拿走).
Thanks to a group of generous East Texas neighbors, the Moores are home again.

Quiet possibly the most common complaint from Koreans about being host to thousands of American servicemembers is that they commit an inordinate amount of crime and then get away with it because of the "unfair" Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). This belief is widespread and completely believed by nearly everyone in the country with no one stopping to ask themselves is it true?
I have even heard from KATUSAs (Korean Augmentees to the US Army) I commanded in my unit that GIs commit crimes and get away with it because of the SOFA. When I challenge them and others that have made these statements to provide an example of a soldier committing a crime and getting away with it because of the SOFA, they always bring up the 2002 Armoured Vehicle Accident as evidence. I always appreciate them bring up that tragic accident because it is so easy to debunk and makes a great teaching point. The accident in question happened while the soldiers were on duty which clearly states in the US-ROK SOFA that it falls under the jurisdiction of the US military just like the SOFAs the Korean government has signed with nations that host Korean troops.
The American SOFA with Korea is actually better than the SOFAs that Korea has signed with other countries because it allows US soldiers to stand trial in Korean civilian courts for crimes committed while off duty while the Korean SOFAs do not. Some examples of the Korean SOFAs being activated to clear Korean soldiers from being tried in foreign courts include the 2005 shooting of an Iraqi soldier by a Korean servicemeber as well as a 2006 traffic accident that killed a Kurdish political official in Irbil, Iraq[ii]. Each of these incidents were handled by Korean military courts because of the SOFA Korea signed with Iraq. Even more telling is that a ROK military servicemembers in Korea do not stand trial for crimes committed while on or even off duty. This just begs the question of if Korean civilian courts are not good enough for their own servicemembers who speak Korean and understand the system, than why should Korean civilian courts be good enough to try US servicemembers who do not understand the system much less even speak the language?
Let me make clear before I move on that I am not advocating for any revision of the current SOFA to exempt American servicemembers from Korean courts. I am only pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of those in Korean society who do want to change the SOFA to be able to try US servicemembers for incidents that happen while on duty when it is something their own military will never agree to, even for crimes committed while off duty.
Despite Korean conventional wisdom that the SOFA allows GIs to literally get away with murder and fly back to America, the truth of the matter is that there is not one reason to blame for why GI incidents occur; GI incidents are a product of simple statistics, the environment in Korea, and leadership. Statistics of criminal activity show that the usual troublemakers are immature, young, male, junior enlisted soldiers. Guess what USFK is primarily filled with, young, male, junior enlisted soldiers. Then these soldiers are thrown into a sleazy "ville" (entertainment areas outside US camps) filled with alcohol and prostitutes; is it any wonder why these soldiers commit the most crimes in United States Force Korea (USFK)? Trouble from this pool of soldiers has happened long before now and will continue to happen in the future. It is a statistical certainty. What is important to determine is the measures taken by USFK to limit incidents from happening and how the USFK crime rate compares to the local population.
When looking at GI crime rates, people need to take a historical perspective on incidents in Korea. Just a decade ago the ville was a much more misbehaved place than what it is now. Back then I was appalled by the conditions in the entertainment districts located outside US military bases. I could not walk through the Dongducheon ville north of Seoul without being approached by multiple prostitutes or seeing a fight break out somewhere. Some of the older soldiers in my unit were stationed in Korea in the 80's and they told me the ville was tame compared to what I saw then. With the environment that soldiers were thrown into in the ville it should come as no surprise that in prior decades there was much more serious crime occurring involving USFK servicemembers than there are now.
A Historical Look at GI Crime
The USinKorea website maintains an archive of GI Crimes in Korea through published American newspaper reports such as the New York Times and the Washington Post[iii]. The newspaper articles show that there were a number of violent incidents involving US servicemembers over the decades that are truly a disgrace to anyone wearing the uniform, however they also show that since the US-ROK SOFA was first signed in 1966 that US servicemembers have been regularly tried in Korean courts to include even receiving the death penalty. For example the first documented rape that was handled by Korean courts was in 1967, the first murder was handled by the Korean courts in 1968, and the first reported taxi cab related incident was in 1969. The rapes and murders continue through the years and this list is just what the site's webmaster was able to dig up through published US newspaper reports, imagine how many more incidents happened that were never published. As appalling as all these incidents may be it is also instructive because it shows that the argument that US soldiers can literally get away with murder in Korea and fly home because of the SOFA is totally untrue and has been untrue for decades because all these American criminals that were tried and convicted in Korean courts.
Part of the reason that feeds this perception of GIs getting away with crimes is that in the past the Korean media which was controlled by authoritarian governments would not publish stories about GI crimes fearing that it would harm the alliance between the two countries. As democracy came to the country and the media received increased freedoms, stories about GI crimes began to appear in the news such as the 1992 murder of a Dongducheon bar worker Yoon Geu-mi by Private Kenneth Markle[iv]. Markle had brutally murdered the woman after he found out that she had been with another man the night before. Markle bashed her and then sexually assaulted her with an umbrella and Coke bottle before pouring laundry detergent over the body. The scene was horrific and photographs of the murder spread across Korea and the conventional wisdom soon became that US troops have been doing these types of crimes for a long time and had been getting away with it. However, as I have already demonstrated yes, horrible crimes have happened over the years involving USFK servicemembers, but they were tried and convicted in Korean courts for those crimes; it was just that the Korean public never heard about them. Markle went on to be tried and convicted in Korean court and sentenced to fifteen years in prison, just like the GIs criminals that came before him starting way back in 1967. The only thing that made his case different was that it was widely published.
Reporting GI Crime Today
In the past the Korean media may not have reported incidents of GI crime, but today the exact opposite has happened. Now the media reports the smallest incidents involving GIs. For example just last year a Korean newspaper ran an article about how an American GI brushed a Korean woman with the mirror of his car[v]. Would such an article have ever been published if the woman was brushed by the mirror of a vehicle driven by a Korean? Of course not, but the Korean media will report any incident involving a GI which further feeds the conventional wisdom of out of control GI crime.
Additionally, the proliferation of the Internet has only further added to the perception of surging GI crime. Often times the Internet will be the catalyst to publicize a perceived injustice by a USFK servicemember. For example the 2000 Yongsan Water Dumping Scandal and the 2002 Armoured Vehicle Accident were greatly amplified with an incredible amount of disinformation and outright lies on the Internet before the media picked up the story and reported the same disinformation to further inflame the Korean public.
To further add to the perception of out of control GI crime is the sensationalism that the Korean media often adds to the reporting to inflame public anger. The best example of this is the 1995 Seoul subway brawl involving four USFK soldiers[vi]. One of the soldiers on the subway patted the behind of a Korean woman with him. A group of Korean males than confronted the American soldier about patting the woman's behind. The woman explained to the male Koreans that she was in fact the soldier's wife. After hearing this, the Korean males began to spat on and slap the woman for being married to the soldier. Needless to say the husband and friends intervened to prevent the Koreans from beating the soldier's wife. However, the story that was published in the Korean media was one of drunk, American GIs sexually assaulting a Korean woman on the subway until confronted by concerned local citizens.
Here is how the Korea Times reported the case[vii]:
"The four went on the rampage in the subway station in May and beat Cho who tried to stop them, causing him injuries requiring three weeks of treatment, the prosecution claimed. They were indicted without physical detention on May 19."
With a dishonest media narrative such as this, the incident quickly became one that inflamed anti-US sentiment in the country. This belief was only reinforced when the four GIs and the Korean wife were arrested and convicted of assault. Three of the GIs received monetary fines while the GI husband was sentenced to six months in jail while his wife, the one spat on and slapped, received a fine. The Koreans that started the fight in the first place were never even indicted. This is justice in Korea, that I show later in the essay, continues to be practiced to this day.
A year later the GI husband was able to successfully appeal his case and quietly his jail term was reduced to a fine just like the others involved. If the US-ROK SOFA had not been in place at the time he would have been imprisoned in Korean jail the entire time his case was awaiting appeal for an obvious travesty of justice. This case is one of many examples of why the US needs a SOFA with a country like South Korea where a sensational media and rampant xenophobic nationalism often makes any fair trial of an alleged crime by a USFK servicemember impossible.
Another more recent example of an outrageous arrest of USFK servicemembers was in 2003 when three American GIs were assaulted and then kidnapped off a Seoul subway by known anti-US activists.[viii] One of the kidnapped soldiers was taken to a packed college sports stadium and forced to make a coerced statement to the crowd condemning USFK that was broadcast on national television. Then the soldiers were taken to a hospital and forced to apologize to the anti-US activist who attacked them on the subway in the first place. Despite being assaulted on the subway, kidnapped, and then forced to make coerced statements on national TV, the soldiers were then booked by the police for assault.
A travesty of justice doesn't begin to describe how despicable this case is. Could you imagine what the Korean reaction would be if a mob of US soldiers assaulted three Koreans, kidnapped them on to a US military installation, and then forced them to make coerced anti-Korean statements on the Armed Forces Network? There would be nation wide outrage in Korea, yet when it happens to US soldiers they are the ones charged with a crime. It truly boggles the mind.
As evidence that the railroading of American soldiers in Korean courts continues to this day look no further than the case of PFC Mark Feldman. Feldman was convicted of attempted rape of an off duty Korean policewoman, along with another USFK servicemember SGT Anthony Basel. Basel confessed and was convicted for the crime, but Feldman told police that he was outside trying to catch a taxi while Basel was using the restroom where the attack occurred. The victim did not see Feldman in the bathroom and initially the restaurant owner that broke up the attack did not see Feldman either in his initial sworn statement to police. However, later the police were able to get the restaurant owner to change his statement and were able to arrest and convict Feldman. Additionally the police pressured Basel to write a statement implicating Feldman in order to reduce his own jail time. During Feldman's trial he was not even given an adequate interpreter to understand what was going on.
When Feldman was convicted the senior judge presiding over the case encouraged Feldman to appeal the conviction because it was so dubious, which he did. After sitting in Korean jail for 113 days PFC Feldman's conviction was reversed because of lack of evidence and changing witness statements[ix]. Under the pre-2001 US-ROK SOFA, Feldman would have never been in jail to begin with because the old SOFA only sent USFK servicemembers to Korean jail after their appeals process was complete. Since the 2001 revision soldiers are now handed over to Korean authorities before the completion of their appeals process. Yes the SOFA is unfair; it is unfair towards American soldiers not Koreans.
The Statistics of GI Crime
The Korean media and politicians like to play with statistics as well in order to feed the conventional wisdom of out of control GI crime. Often statistics will be released that shows a high USFK crime rate, however the media will inflate the statistics by including such minor offenses as parking tickets to support their claim of out of control GI crime. Left wing Korean politician Lee Young-soon in 2005 released statistics from the Seoul police department that USFK soldiers committed 780 criminal acts over a six-year period and were not held for trial[x]. To sensationalize this statistic even further, the newspaper headline read, "No US Soldiers Held in Hundreds of Crimes". Of course this statistic was inflated with unpaid parking tickets but the article also made no distinction of whether the soldiers not tried in Korean court were found to have no involvement in the crime by the police or were handed over to the US military for trial for minor crimes. From personal experience I have seen Korean police hand over soldiers for minor crimes such as urinating on a building to be handled by the military justice system so they do not have to prepare all the necessary paperwork to handle a US servicemember case in the Korean justice system. It should come as no surprise that this politician was later linked to a North Korean spy scandal[xi].
So what do the real criminal statistics say about GI crimes in Korea? For example let's start with the statistics for SOFA status persons convicted of crimes in Korean court in 2007. These statistics are compiled from the ROK criminal court records involving USFK members published every month on the USFK website:
- Crime Soldier Dependent Contractor
- Rape 2
- Sexual Assault 1
- Assault 11 2 1
- Bodily Injury 5
- Larceny 3
- Robbery 1
- Drugs 2
- Prostitution 1
- T.M. Violation 2
- Totals: 36 4 1
USFK currently has approximately 27,500 soldiers stationed in Korea. This means that .00131% of the population of USFK servicemembers in Korea are the ones causing trouble while the other 27,464 soldiers are minding their own business and respecting Korean law. Further more if the number of USFK servicemembers is divided by the number of incidents the ratio comes out to 1 criminal incident for every 764 soldiers.
This ratio is even further improved when just serious crimes are considered. The Korean National Policy Agency considers Murder, Robbery, Rape, Violence, & Larceny as major crimes when compiling Korean crime statistics. Of these five major categories USFK soldiers committed 23 cases of serious crime. When the USFK population is divided by this number, the ratio comes out to 1 serious crime for 1196 soldiers.
So how does this compare to Korean crime rates? The Korean National Police Agency has 2007 statistics for serious crimes committed by Koreans on their website. The KNPA has arrested 385,704 Koreans for serious crimes out of a population of 49 million Koreans[xii]. Here is how the statistics break down:
- Crime Number
- Murder – 1,062
- Burglary – 3,731
- Rape – 7,795
- Theft – 102,688
- Assault – 270,428
- Total - 385,704
Korea has a conviction rate of 99% which means that of the 385,704 people arrested that comes out to roughly 381,847 people convicted. If the total Korean population of 49 million is divided by the number of serious criminal convictions, the ratio comes out to 1 serious crime for every 128 Koreans. As I have just demonstrated the USFK crime rate isn't just lower than the Korean crime rate, but is significantly lower.
These statistics are even more interesting when compared by individual crime. For example by using the same equation as above, for assaults 1 in every 183 Koreans are arrested for assault compared to 1 in every 1,718 USFK servicemembers. The Korean statistic for rape is much high then the USFK number with 1 in every 6,350 Koreans are arrested for rape compared to 1 in every 9,166 USFK servicemembers. For combined burglary and theft 1 person is arrested for every 181 Koreans compared to 1 person arrested for every 6875 USFK servicemembers. Finally, for murder 1 in every 45,623 Koreans are arrested for murder compared to zero arrests for murder for USFK servicemembers.
These numbers are truly stunning and show how hard USFK has worked in recent years to lower what was already a low crime rate to begin with. The most stunning statistic the last few years has been that no USFK servicemember has been involved with murdering a Korean.
If you look at murders from 1990-2000 there was the infamous 1993 Kenneth Markle murder[xiii] of a Korean prostitute in Dongducheon, followed by another murder in Dongducheon in 1996 of another prostitute by Steven Munique[xiv], then a 1998 murder by Jerome Henrix[xv] of a prostitute in Itaewon, and then the 2000 murder of yet another Itaewon prostitute by Christopher McCarthy[xvi]. Additionally a USFK dependent murdered a Korean man at the Itaewon Burger King in 1997[xvii].
Now compare these murders to time period between 2001 through 2008 where not one murder of a Korean civilian was perpetrated by a USFK servicemember. In fact a USFK servicemember was more recently murdered by a Korean than vice versa when in 2000 Major David Berry was murdered in broad daylight in Itaewon by a deranged Korean man[xviii].
The Spread of Disinformation
What else is interesting is that the most notorious Korean anti-US group USA Crime has launched a campaign claiming that USFK is releasing mentally deranged soldiers into Korea due to their service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and that they are committing increasing crime in Korea[xix]. The statistics above prove that this is nonsense especially the murder statistics. How does USA Crime explain that during the peace time military before 9/11 that USFK servicemembers were responsible for murdering four Korean civilians, but after 9/11 not one Korean civilian has been murdered by these so called mentally deranged soldiers? They can't explain it and they won't explain it either because their sole purpose is to spread anti-US disinformation to the Korean public, which they are very effective at doing. They could care less about the actual truth of USFK crime rates.
It is because of the blatant smears, disinformation campaigns, and subsequent publicity that the Korean public continues to believe that USFK is responsible for an inordinate amount of crime in Korea. This perception problem has caused a command environment within USFK where commanders are trying to prevent every incident when preventing all incidents is statistically impossible. There is approximately 40,000 USFK servicemembers, contractors, and family members in Korea. Is there a town of 40,000 people in either the US or Korea with no crime?
The USFK attempt to create a crime free utopia is statistically impossible. In order to create this utopia, a curfew is implemented, the battle buddy policy exists, the loss of driving privileges for most of USFK service members was enacted, blood alcohol content (BAC) regulations in the 2nd Infantry Division were implemented, certain areas of Korean cities are put off limits, along with a host of other regulations to limit the amount of incidents involving USFK servicemembers.
All these regulations greatly effect soldier life in Korea which effects morale and has the side effect of creating a negative perception of Koreans because everyone knows these restrictions are enacted on them because of a general Korean public that believes GIs are out of control criminals. This perception will not change until the Korean media stops reporting every Korean brushed by a USFK servicemembers car mirror as well as the media stopping the sensationalizing of major USFK crimes without providing context of how the USFK crime rate is significantly lower then the Korean crime rate.
The Korean media is only going to change the way they report when USFK and the American government begins to vigorously defend the rights and reputations of American servicemembers stationed in Korea. Korea has a long pattern of arrests of GIs, such as the 1995 subway incident that are driven solely by xenophobic nationalism. When these incidents happen why are American politicians and media silent while US soldiers are being railroaded through Korean courts? As long as America's political leaders and media continues to be ignorant of the treatment of USFK servicemembers on the peninsula, cases of nationalistic xenophobic prosecutions will continue for little regard of whether the soldier is guilty or not simply to appease the masses in Korea that desperately want to believe GIs are out of control criminals despite all evidence that says otherwise. Just because Korean authorities are more concerned with appeasing the masses instead of rendering justice doesn't mean our political leaders should be as well. USFK servicemembers deserve better than this.
Note #1: I would appreciate if everyone DIGG this story by clicking here and if you have a blog to link to this posting. The internet is filled with disinformation about USFK GI crimes and I want to get this posting pushed up the Google page rankings as much as possible to combat the high level lies and propaganda on the Internet that only continues to feed the perception of out of control GI crime in Korea. Thanks.
Note #2: This posting has been updated with the latest 2007 KNPA criminal statistics and adjusted to reflect a 99% ROK criminal conviction rate.

That's right, you read the headline right.
Last night during WWE's NXT tapings at Full Sail University in Orlando, FL, the WWE Champion CM Punk showed up to give NXT Champion Seth Rollins -- known as Tyler Black in Ring of Honor (ROH) -- some friendly advice.
Punk would then face United States Champion Antonio Cesaro -- or Claudio Castagnoli -- in a bonus match for the live audience only to have his former Kings of Wrestling tag team partner Kassius Ohno -- previously Chris Hero on the independent circuit -- break the match up which led to Rollins making the save.
Then BAM!
Indie wrestling dream match in a WWE ring.
I feel like David After Dentist right now.
The rest of the NXT spoilers, courtesy of PW Torch, after the jump.
The tapings opened up with two dark matches with Dean Ambrose tapping out C.J. Parker in the first and Damien Sandow defeating Garrett Dylan in the second.
First Episode Taping
After some distraction from Kassius Ohno, Drew McIntyre got the deuce over Richie Steamboat which was followed by Big E. Langston squashing Aiden English.
Michael "Don't Call Me Hennig" McGillicutty then cut a promo on NXT Champion Seth Rollins. The champ came out and was, "Knuck if you buck, homie" but the former Nexus member backed down and said they'd fight next week.
Ohno overcame a pre-match attack from Steamboat to defeat Percy Watson.
And in the main event, Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd defeated the Ascension.
Second Episode Taping
Bo Dallas defeated Johnny Curtis and Leo Kruger easily beat Dante Dash.
In between the matches, Rollins ran into CM Punk behind the scene. Punk told him he would have to beat respect out of his opponents.
This lead to the main event which saw Rollins defend his title against McGillicutty with Punk on commentary. They shared a staredown moment after the match.
Third Episode Taping
Alex Riley beat Jinder Mahal and Trent Barreta beat Jake Carter.
Ohno and The Ascension defeated Jimmy and Jey Uso and Richie Steamboat.
Seems like the NXT tapings start off hot and lose steam toward the end. At least the aforementioned tag match got them hot to end the night.
Now all WWE has to do IS SHOW THE REST OF US THE FREAKIN' MATCH~!

So, to start with, why?
On a philosophical degree, there's something miraculous about marketing.
Whenever something is marketed, it indicates that worth has been made. I do not part with my cash unless I feel that things I'm receiving deserves even more compared to the money I'm parting with. Yet, the guy who's selling me things obtained it for much less than the cash I'm providing him. Think of that! So, unexpectedly, I've obtained much more value compared to I've simply handed out. And the seller's merely obtained additional cash compared to he spent on things he simply sold me.
Worth out of slim air to me, profit out of thin air to the homeowner. That's why company resembles magic.
Unless it's a scam, wherein the offer Secret Millionaire Method or support service being marketed is unworthy the cash being asked for it.

Permit's claim you make a premium cheeseburger that's scrumptious as well as I would happily pay 15 bucks for it. It cost you 5 dollars to make this burger. You offer it to me for 10.
I have a tasty hamburger for 10 dollars that I would certainly pay 15 for. I seem like I've made a swipe of 5 profits. You made it for 5, offered it for 10, and made 5 bucks' profit.
From nowhere, I've received 5 bucks of worth and also you've made 5 bucks of revenue. Magic! Everybody wins. (Except the cow.).
So, that responds to the why of marketing. It means that I've benefited somebody and also produced wealth in this world if I've effectively sold something of value.

It's been fairly well documented that a number of us in the RR Universe love Twitter. This love may not be as unconditional as the amorous feelings we display for our Favorite Team™, but it's enough to keep us entertained in class or at work. That being said, while on Twitter, quite a few of us have frequently sought the counsel of our Cracked Dojo Beat Reporter John Fay. It is only proper that his wisdom be shared amongst the masses.
Depending on how well this first installment is received, I will post select Tweets from our Sportswriting Sophist every month until 1) I retreat from existence to study for the bar or 2) Fay simply decides to stop answering our absurd Tweets. Until that day comes though, I give you a children's treasury of Fayman's Terms:
Postscript: this is my first fan post. I would appreciate either constructive criticism or false praise . . . so long as I didn't do anything that would end up getting me banned.

Running back Marshawn Lynch will be listed as questionable for the Seattle Seahawks' Sunday opener against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times.
With the questionable tag, Lynch will be a game time decision as he continues to work through the back spasms that have been nagging him all throughout the preseason.
This is nothing new for Lynch, who missed a game last season from the same issue and has been plagued with back spasms since he was a California Golden Bear. If he isn't able to go, rookie Robert Turbin should carry most of the load with Leon Washington getting the occasional carry in relief.
Lynch, or "Beast Mode" as he was affectionately nicknamed thanks to his relentless style of play, ran for a career-high 1204 yards on 285 carries last season, racking up 12 touchdowns on the ground in the process.
For information on Seahawks football and continued Lynch updates, head on over to Field Gulls.
