Matt Hamill - Deaf Fighter

3 06 2006

Matt Hamill playing at UFC Ultimate FightingI’ve always enjoyed watch UFC – Ultimate Fighting on SpikeTV channel and I was surprised that there’s deaf man playing right now. His name is Matt Hamill. Email me if you want this video.

Of course, I didn’t say much about him on my blog lately till I get to see it myself on TV. I got opportunity to watch Matt fighting with another guy. It’s interesting to see how they played. Matt did alright – could have done better job if he didn’t have his elbow hurt at all. He had to go ER after game is over – he was either going pass out or just overdid himself. We won’t know the results till next week.

Two deaf bloggers talked about Matt Hamill frequently - Check it out! Ridor & Kokonut Pundits.

Check it out. Also, there’s summary article about this episode. Another article - click here.

Congratulation: Pittsburgh Steelers

6 02 2006

Steelers Fans!Congratulation 
Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XL!!

Since I have DVD recorder, I was able to tape whole game included pre and post Super Bowl activity. It is about five hours long including advertising. I figure I can re-look at some cool advertising and find out which advertising that doesn’t offer closed captioning.

Of course the quality isn’t that great since it compressed five hours on one DVD. I am still happy with it.

Did you know you can watch the Super Bowl real-time results on their website? It’s awesome – it wasn’t like few years ago. Look at screenshot #1 and #2. Fancy!

My uncle and aunt born and raised in Pittsburgh and now live in Florida for many years. Take a look at picture – they are still die-hard Steelers fan!! Thanks for the picture!

I am not exactly die-hard Steelers fan but I am happy they won Super Bowl XL. I will be always Dallas Cowboys fan :)
