Les Lyle is a name you probably dont know or probably remember hearing but if you grew up in the 80’s youd recognize Les as the many adult faces on the classic and now cult show You Can’t Do That On Television, its hard to say which character of his I like best but the Firing Squad General and Barth are always at the top. He died a few weeks back but I felt guilty not posting this R.I.P.
RIP to the GOD

R.I.P. Kimo…. this is sad news but not all that surprising if you saw the news about him being methed out a month or two ago… as ive said before I had a Black Box growing up so I started watching UFC at UFC 1 and in the early years Kimo was the man! i remember him walking out with a cross on his back and then going toe to toe with Royce Gracie and Royce pulling his hair and elbowing him haha shit was classic according to reports Kimo had a heart attack more than likely due to meth use, heres the story.
The New York Daily News reported earlier that former UFC star Kim “Kimo” Leopoldo died from a heart attack at the age of 41. TMZ has since confirmed his passing, however has not confirmed that his death was due to a heart attack.
Kimo was one of the UFC first major stars, having first fought with the organization in 1994 at UFC 3, losing to Royce Gracie. He wore out Gracie to the point that Gracie was unable to continue in the tournament and had to forfeit his match later that night.
Kimo has had legal problems over the past few years, including arrests for drugs, domestic violence and assault and battery. He was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after testing positive for Stanozolol and illegal stimulants after his match with Ken Shamrock at UFC 48 in 2004, his last bout with the organization.
He last fought at Extreme Wars 5: Battlegrounds in October of 2006, losing to Wes Sims (who is one of the contestants of season ten of The Ultimate Fighter) via TKO. He finished his MMA career with a 10-7-1 record.

The Rock of Boston WBCN is done after today which is sad news for me not because they have a great format or play great music but its where I 1st heard Howard Stern in the early 90’s back then he was on at night and i use to listen before going to bed along with taping the show to share with friends in school the next day. Well BCN it’s been real but losing Howard killed you and then playing Godsmack everyother song doesnt help much. Apparently theyre going sports! here’s the official word from WHDH
BOSTON — WBCN is done and Boston will have a new all-sports radio station.
The Boston Bruins announced today that they have reached an agreement to extend their contract with CBS RADIO Boston.
The new contract, however, will have the Bruins radio home on 98.5 The Sports Hub, which will debut Thursday, August 13.
It will be the only FM sports station of its kind in the Boston marketplace. WEEI dominates sports radio ratings in the Boston market, but is an AM station.
It will also serve as the radio home of the New England Patriots, beginning with their 2009 NFL season.
On Wednesday, August 12, MIX 98.5 will change its dial location and move to 104.1 FM, becoming MIX 104.
WBCN will sign off after 41 years on the air.
98.5 The Sports Hub will feature WBCN’s “Toucher and Rich” morning show and a variety of sports programming.
