We heard all the rumors about a Capcom vs Namco fighter that was supposedly in production, but I never thought it'd turn out to be this. Do you hear all those idiots losing their shit while watching the video? That's exactly how I feel.
Perhaps more intriguing is the news that Namco will be working on Tekken X Street Fighter, apparently with the Tekken fighting engine.

Making Moves
Feeling a lot better about this team now than I was a week ago.
Josh Childress: Always loved his game, but he dropped off the NBA radar when he went to play ball in Greece for 2 years. If Childress is the same player who helped Atlanta push Boston to 7 games a couple of seasons back, then this is a big pickup for Phoenix. He'll help bolster a Suns lineup that is already looking as deep (albeit small) as last year's squad. Childress brings a lot of the same things to the table as Grant Hill and Jared Dudley, but I suppose that may be the point of the signing with the mileage on Hill getting up there.
Hedo Turkoglu: A lot depends on whether we get Orlando Turk or Toronto Turk. Reports have indicated that Hedo really wanted to come to Phoenix, and he'll likely be motivated to play well on a team coming off of a trip to the WCF. We'll see. His versatility and ability to get his shot off from virtually anywhere on the floor make him an ideal player to plug into the Suns system, and the idea is that his playmaking skills will give Nash a few breathers on the offensive end. Turkoglu certainly isn't Amare Stoudemire, but his presence should bring a variety of interesting offensive wrinkles to the Suns attack.
Size and interior defense remain a serious concern, especially if Robin Lopez goes down again, but the roster is versatile and absolutely stacked. Not the worst position to be in.

Shoryuken!
Hey, it looks like Deadpool will actually have his Shoryuken in MvC3. It'll probably be an uppercut of the Dan-ish sort, but it's nonetheless a pretty cool little inside joke for all the old comic book geeks out there.

The Knicks Are Back...?
So says Amare Stoudemire after reportedly agreeing to ink a 5 year contract worth approximately $100 million.
I expect Amare to play well in New York - this isn't Jerome James or Eddy Curry we're talking about here - but even with the addition of Stoudemire, the Knicks look...well, mediocre. As heralded as this free agent crop is, there are still only 2 players in the entire lot with the ability to single-handedly take a team from the lottery to the postseason, and Amare isn't one of them. I love STAT, but the Knicks already had their 20 & 10 + shoddy defense guy in David Lee last season. If the allure of playing in MSG is enough to snag LeBron, then the Knicks will certainly be back. With just Amare? They're merely better.

Lesnar Once Again Undisputed Champ
I was thinking TKO in the second round, but Brock surprised everyone by securing an arm triangle choke for the submission victory. We all used to speculate how dangerous Lesnar would be when he started to get some experience as a real fighter, and he's given us a glimpse by sprinkling in some Jiu-Jitsu to compliment his wrestling acumen and freakish athleticism. Perhaps more impressive than the choke was the beating that Brock somehow survived at the hands of Shane Carwin in the first round. Lesnar took something like 50 punches from Carwin, which would probably be enough to kill any normal human being. Heck, it would probably be enough to kill most human beings twice. And here's the thing: I can't think of anyone that hits harder than Shane Carwin, and if he couldn't knock out Brock, then who can?
