F1 champ Lewis Hamilton was going race fellow Brit and cyclist Chris Hoy on a short track this week in London -- Hamilton in his car, Hoy on his bike. But to the dismay of fans of man versus machine contests everywhere, inclement weather prevented the race. A shame, really, since there aren’t enough man versus machine contests these days; you have the Connor family versus Skynet, Kellen Winslow versus motorcycles, Ben Roethlisberger’s unbreakable skull against car, and that’s about it for the moment.↵

↵Not that there couldn’t be more of these, of course. I’d pay heavily to watch the following in particular:↵JOEY PORTER VS. THE BIG DOG. One unstoppable DARPA-funded robot. One unbreakable linebacker capable of giving 60 minutes of effort. Strap a ball to the Big Dog’s back and watch the fun begin!↵
You’d Pay to Watch Joey Porter Wrestle a Robot
