Hundreds of people lined up on sun-drenched asphalt Saturday to see if they could get regular payouts, in the form of paychecks, from the new Maryland Live! Casino, a slots casino scheduled to open at Arundel Mills mall in about three months. "I hope I get lucky enough to get a position," said Mark Ellison, who's from West Baltimore. "They want people who are willing to go the extra mile so customers come in and enjoy spending their money. " The operators of what will be the state's largest casino hosted a job fair Saturday with the Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corp.

Baltimore Sun blogger and theScore on-air personality Arda Ocal goes 1-on-1 with WWE Hall of Famer Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Four trucks laden with 100 slot machines arrived early Wednesday morning at the nearly completed casino at Arundel Mills mall. For the next two hours, workers wheeled banks of the gleaming new machines, one by one, inside on hand trucks. Installation of the first set of slots moved Maryland Live! Casino, the state's largest, another step closer to its scheduled opening in three months. That's progress for Maryland's lackluster gambling program, which has yet to be fully implemented more than three years after voters approved five slots locations statewide.

Ring Posts blogger and theScore on-air personality Arda Ocal sat down recently with WWE commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler, who discussed how his illustrations helped him break into pro wrestling, avoiding major injuries throughout his entire career, avoiding temptation in the wrestling business and much more.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hosted “Saturday Night Live” on Saturday night, and since I have little social life to speak of, I happened to catch his performance. Despite mostly awful and unfunny writing, Manning was solid, though he didn't come close to matching the laughs of his brother, Peyton, from a few years ago. And since Manning is a famous, Super Bowl-winning quarterback, of course there were a couple of skits loosely related to the NFL. One skit was about Manning awkwardly posing for touchdown celebrations for the new “Madden” game, and actors played New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.

Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski improved to 4-0 in his professional boxing career with a first-round technical knockout of Blake Warner on Saturday night. Zbikowski landed an uppercut at the 2:20 mark and the fight was called after Warner dropped to the canvas. “This was my best win since coming back from a five-year layoff,” he told The Daily Oklahoman . Here's video of the fight (and audio if you speak Spanish):

Most of us have never caught a home run at a Major League Baseball game, which is why it's absolutely amazing that a 17-year old Orioles fan named Tim Anderson caught one in three straight games during this week's series against the White Sox at Camden Yards. The leaping grab he made to secure Alexei Ramirez's homer on Thursday night was very impressive, and the feat caught the eye of MLB.com and the "SportsCenter" crew. [ Via D.C. Sports Bog ]

When I saw on SI's Hot Clicks this afternoon that there was a new trick shot video floating out in the blogosphere, I rolled my eyes. Then I squinted to read the summary and saw that the video came from a long snapper, so I had to click the link. It was worth it. Kudos to Washington State long snapper Zach Enyeart for having a sense of humor about his oft-overlooked role and putting together a pretty entertaining trick shot video. It also helps that the soundtrack is "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant and that Enyeart seems legitimately stoked after every successful snap.

A deeper look into this case and the law enforcement issues related to it appeared in Thursday's newspaper. Click here for that article.  There can, in fact, be a corrective mechanism when it comes to the mob mentality of the Internet.  This week, a video was posted online of a seemingly lost and disoriented man being swarmed by a group of young people, then sucker punched, robbed, and stripped naked of his clothing on...

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cried in a recent interview with ESPN, but it wasn't because they told him about all the nasty things Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said about him last season. Brady was talking about how he had to wait until the sixth round to be selected in the 2000 NFL draft and got a little emotional. Here's video of the three-time Super Bowl champion, husband of Gisele Bundchen and Ugg boots spokesman crying:

Baltimore Sun blogger and theScore TV on-air personality Arda Ocal caught up with Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake recently. In the interview, Beefcake talks about watching Hulk Hogan play baseball as a kid, who came up with "The Barber" character and how he overcame the toughest moments of his life in the early 90s, when a parasailing accident almost claimed his life, both his parents passed away and he went through a divorce.

Who knew there could be so much glory in nearly being spit on? When a Chicago TV news crew, trying to do a report from a city street corner instead captured the phlegmiest woman alive, the resulting video went viral. And the reporter, standing alongside as the woman spat and spat and then spat some more, went on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Turns out the traumatized reporter has a Maryland connection -- he's Christopher DeRose, a 2007 graduate of McDaniel College. He was a theater major.

Time will tell if No. 13 Johns Hopkins' 10-9 overtime win against top-ranked Loyola will prove to be a turning point for the Blue Jays. But to help the team snap out of a 1-3 skid, coach Dave Pietramala and defensive coordinator Bill Dwan took the players on a little journey to the past. “[O]ne of the things we did was, I asked Bill Dwan, who does a lot of our film study, if he would make a highlight film for the guys,” Pietramala said during his post-game conference. “I think it was Princeton, Syracuse and Virginia, and we just put it on in the locker room and let it run. And it was all good plays.

News Roundup •••• Some extremely juicy details about the exciting “God of War: Ascension” have surfaced, with some nuts and bolts of how the new multiplayer mode will function. Add this to your list of “reasons I own a PS3.” [ USA Today ] ••••  Evidence is pointing to the first bit of long-awaited “Skyrim” DLC being a) not far off and b) having something to do with Snow Elves and crossbows. Let's be honest, the “Skyrim” DLC could be anything and we'd all buy it sight unseen.

In this video, Bryan Voltaggio makes a muffaletta at his Lunchbox restaurant. The video was produced, I think, by a Georgetown men's boutique named Lost Boys. When you click on a Lost Boys link, at least on Friday, scary things start popping up on your computer. The sandwich looks good, anyway, and so does Voltaggio. Not sure about that jacket.

As far as downloadable content goes, "Fifa 12's" add-on “UEFA Euro 2012” leaves plenty to be desired. Released yesterday, the expansion to the hit game suffers from a lack of officially licensed teams, lackluster presentation and no support for online play. At $22.50 worth of Microsoft Points, frankly it's a rip-off.  Still, it represents a model that has better potential for customer satisfaction than the current method EA and 2K use to release their sports games. Logically, in the year 2012, the annually released sports franchise should not exist.

Ring Posts blogger and theScore TV personality Arda Ocal recently caught up with WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart. "The Mouth of the South" talked about his recent appearance on Smackdown, calling Legends House the "greatest thing he's ever done in wrestling," whether he would return to a full-time WWE schedule and more.
