Matt Lauer injured in a bicycle accident

TODAY show host, Matt Lauer was injured while on a bicycle ride. A deer jumped in front of Matt, causing him to flip over the handle bars. Meredith Viera told the viewers of Matt's accident and said "Matt's banged up with a displaced shoulder; it popped out. So hopefully he'll be on the mend soon." Get better soon, Matt. We can only handle so much Meredith.

Mixed martial arts star Din Thomas offers to kick Chris Brown's butt

MMA fighter Din Thomas fought in the March Badness competition on Saturday and knocked out Gabe Lemley. After the knock out, Din Thomas told the crowd "It's not cool to put your hands on a woman. So Rhianna, if you want someone to kick his a**, holler at me." The MMA March Badness fight was shown on pay per view so if you missed it, you will have a chance to see it yourself soon. The video of Din Thomas at March Madness does not seem to be available anywhere online.

If Chris Brown and Din Thomas ever did fight, I'd be sure to watch that fight. I'd love to see Chris Brown get knocked out by Din.
