Green Bay Packers Eddie Lacy Trades In His Cleats For A Saw
Eddie Lacy took a break from training camp and tried his hand in the sport of lumberjacking. He got some help from competitive lumberjacks Shana Verstegen and Cassidy Scheer at the Paul Bunyan Northwood’s Lumberjack Show in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Lacy did some pole climbing, the two-man cross cut saw, and axe throwing.
This was part of the Gatorade Beat the Heat program, which aims to educate athletes on the importance of heat safety and staying hydrated during the hot summer months. Not only is Lacy now equipped with a new skill set, but he also learned firsthand that lumberjack athletes compete in similar conditions as football players – outside in the hot and humid weather, while losing a lot of sweat during training and competition.

Watch The Official Deadpool Trailer!
I wasn’t at the Comic Con in San Diego so I couldn’t watch was Deadpool trailer that those who attended could. All the footage from the internet was blurry and was taken down faster then the enemies in this movie. Today you and I can now see it. It is awesome. The movie is rated R and they even poke fun at the Green Lantern movie.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Here at MANjr we can’t wait to see the new James Bond film, “Spectre.” What are your thoughts? Are you digging this new film?
A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as Spectre.
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of Spectre. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.
As Bond ventures towards the heart of Spectre, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.
“Spectre” comes out in the US on November 6, 2015.

The Predator Is Now Playable In Mortal Kombat
The latest Mortal Kombat X downloadable content is fantastic. For those like me who are a big fans of the Predator movies we just got a new character to play. The Mortal Kombat X: Predator / Prey adds three new character skins. One is so awesome. You can play the character of Jax, but in the style of Carl Weathers as he appears in the Predator movie. Plus there is a commando-style Johnny Cage, and an infrared Scorpion.
The DLC has been available since last week for anyone who owns the Kombat Pack season pass, but is now available to everyone! Enjoy!
