I don't know who that is. I've never heard of him nor the clothing line.

A quote at the end of the article is how I know of him. He is quite the cool guy.

' Lewis and two partners also starred in a reality TV show called "TapouT" on the Versus channel that involved roaming around the country seeking mixed martial arts fighters to train and sponsor.'

Oh that is right. This is an 'Other sport' so you are not allowed to put it in its own thread. It has to go into the catch all thread for that sport.

Probably racing.. Nice Ferrari, didnt hold up well in the crash though.

Wookie · 03-11-2009, 08:44 PM

what a mess. quite disturbing when actually looking at the photos.

Madman · 03-12-2009, 08:11 AM

WOW, that thing is not only in half but the two halves are not remotely close together.

It doesnt look like it is being discussed @ all actually. 2 People posted links to news articles and no one has commented on it.

That car got ripped a new one, pretty amazing the chick who got ejected is still alive. He helped the culture of the sport with the clothing line for sure. He looked like a happy go lucky guy who was just having fun with his money. What a moron to street race like that, probably drinking too, what a waste.

suck my balls, I was clear in my link that I was not complaining that it had already been posted. I was stating we were talking about it in the other link as well and information can be found there too if anyone is interested.

Where did I state that someone was not allowed to create a new thread?? I was going to create a thread on if myself but I didn't have a link confirming only a rumor.

I am really curious where I asked people not to post in this thread. There was information relevant to this post that had already been buried in the MMA thread and I linked to it. I was clear I wasn't trying to fata...

I am unsure wtf your problem is.

I always wondered what those t-shirts meant. They're probably the most commonly worn garment here in Prince George.

They were one of the first major sponsor of MMA, or at least one of the first visible ones. It is pretty cool that they were able to take giving shirt away out of the back of cars at MMA shows and turn it into such a big business.

Hevishot · 03-12-2009, 12:25 PM

And now every stalky shaved headed white guy wears T shirts 2 sizes to small with a Tapout logo on it and thinks hes some sort of athlete.

Yeah, the brand is kind of looked down on now by the diehard MMA fans who are pissed that all the people who watch TUF are now running around in tapout hoodies.

Charges were laid today.

Is it just me or does it seem that the Ferrari crash defense system always seems to be it splitting in two.
