Read MoreEd Orgeron has turned the age-old press conference into performance art
A few weeks ago, we shared with you what we thought was the the zenith of Ed Orgeron press conferences.

Read MoreA visual history of The Rock's (truly, utterly) ridiculous cheat meals
If you follow The Rock on Instagram (and if you don't, why do you even have Instagram?), you know the one thing Mr. Dwayne Johnson loves more than pumping iron (and talking about Mr. Dwayne Johnson) is eating.
