Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
No, but seriously, please tell me the two of them will get in a ring/octagon/something enclosed by fences and wires and brawl at some point. Even if they never fight, at least Freek has given us a preview of what we can expect if Leinart gets into a game against the 49ers this season and Willis manages to work his way into the backfield on a blitz.

This has got to be a low The Sporting Blog. I am embarrassed I even spent the time reading it. It’s not like these are the 1st NFL players to train MMA. The sport is litered with: Bob Sapp, Carlton Haselrig, Jonnie Morton, Rex Richardson, Brendan Schaub, Marcus Jones, Matt Minotone (sp?), Brock Lesnar, even a group of Washington Redskins said they began training after watching Kimbo Slice. So 2 more NFL players training is hardly news and the photo shopped video is even worse.

@wilcoxon — The hook in the story isn’t that an NFL player is training in MMA, but rather than he’s being trained by another member of the media whose job happens to be covering these very players. Sorry it wasn’t for you. (Oh, and please take cheeky animated GIFs a little more seriously.)

This is a joke – but sadly, it isn’t a very funny one. Appearantly you don’t know anything about Jay Glazer (Media Person of the Year), who has an extensive background in MMA (both broadcasting and training). I don’t want to sound like Mr. Know-it-All here, but somebody has to show you Sporting Blog dunces how ignorant you really sound sometimes.
So why don’t you take a break from bashing a legitimate sport in MMA and get back to eating that doughnut that you’ve been holding off while the people who really know MMA do the dirty work.
