Thanks again to Tim Koskuba for helping to keep the pulse beating here on UCR and hope you enjoy and comment on this post.  - Derrick

Watch "MTV: The Challenge" Wednesday's at 10/9c.
Watch the NFL Thursday, Sunday, Monday

The end of the summer/the start of the fall marks the beginning of two of the country's favorite sports, the NFL and MTV's “The Challenge”. To me, Sundays are devoted to football, unhealthy snacks, and trying to get Matthew Berry to answer my fantasy football questions on Twitter. Wednesdays are very similar. It's a countdown to 10 pm ET, a few less unhealthy snacks, and trying to virtually hit on Emily Schromm, Cara Maria, and Sarah on Twitter. These are a just a few of the many similarities between 'The Challenge' and the NFL. Let's look at some of the Challengers and their NFL counterparts...

Meet UFC Newcomer John Cholish | Debuts at UFC 140 This Weekend.

Newcomer John Cholish like a "sponge" around guys like George St.Pierre, Frankie Edgar, and Kenny Florian. Cholish prepared for UFC debut at UFC 140 on December 10, 2011.

John Cholish stops by Ultimate Challenge Radio to talk about his first ever fighting debut in the UFC at UFC 140 headlined by Light Heavyweight Champion Jonny "Bones" Jones, or as I like to call him-"Weapons of Mass Destruction," VS. Former Champ Lyoto Machida. John Cholish, an exciting young fighter, keeps The Derrick Kosinski Podcast action packed by giving UCR an idea of what it'll be like to fight the Canadian Mitch Clarke in his hometown of Toronto. Cholish walks us thru the mindset of pre-fight notions as he approaches the toe-to-toe face-off with his opponent. John walks us from his wrestling career starting at the age of 4 years old to the day he starts to taper off for his 1st fight into the UFC. He gives us a fighters perspective of weather or not he hates his opponents, weather or not he wants to maul them when their fist touch gloves,the difficulty of working an everyday job and a rigorous workout regimen. John also gives a small view of what it's like to attain as much information s possible around champions like Frankie Edgar, George St.Pierre, and Kenny Florian. Watch out for John Cholish as he gets UFC 140 rockin' on FACEBOOK.

To access the preliminary-card stream, viewers must visit the UFC'S official Facebook profile (www.facebook.com/ufc) and push the "Like" button for the page.

The UFC first began streaming select fights live on Facebook at this past January's "UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2" event.

Are People Really Still Hating On Tim Tebow?!?!

What was any one's problem with Tim Tebow in the first place?! Was it because he had a strange throwing motion???? Was it because he gave praise to GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE MAN UPSTAIRS, HIS SAVIOR wherever and whenever he got a chance??? Was it because he works too hard?? Or are people still pissed because he dominated college football and beat their favorite college football team when he was a student athlete at The University of Florida?

I don't understand?!?!

How can so many people hate on a guy with so many great qualities?! I mean he's pretty much a walking, talking "Good Example." Is THAT the problem? Is he too good? Is he too good at being good? Does he win too much? Is that what makes people mad? Are people pissed because he went 2 for 8 as a starting quarterback and managed to somehow lead his team to victory in the National Football League? Are all of the retired quarterbacks, who are now analysts, upset at Tim Tebow because he's different? Because he doesn't win football games the way "normal" quarterbacks "usually" do? Michael Vick slaughtered dogs and didn't get hated on as much as Tim Tebow is getting criticized! Analysts went after Cam Newton's throwing motion and got shut down after 1 game. Cam Newton's putting up great numbers, but Tim Tebow is winning football games!
