Nails Said He's Going to Take This Mother Fucker Apart
Lenny Dykstra says he’s ready to take Aaron Carter apart piece by piece. In celebrity boxing that is.
“Lenny Dykstra here, nails. Guess what? I’m going back in the ring October 2nd in Miami with Aaron Carter. I’m gonna f****** take this mother f****** apart piece by piece, okay? October 2nd. In Miami. Don’t miss it. Me and Aaron Carter. Mono e mono. Let’s get it on, nails back in action.”

The Lions Head Coach Keeps Talking Crazy
During a press conference, the new Lions head coach started going off on a tangent about how he used to clean chickens and how he never wants to do it again. Watching him melt down after the 13 or 14 losses they’ll have this season should be entertaining.
Watch the clip on Twitter.
I don't know what question led to this, but #Lions HC Dan Campbell told a story today about working at a cattle ranch and at a Chicken Shack. "I learned how to clean chicken and I can do it blind. Over and over."
The man keeps delivering.
(🎥 @Lions)
