"I did launch the Twitter [account] today, so I joined that, did it in front of the team first," said Del Rio. "Just an opportunity to I guess be a little more current and share a little insight. Give you a little peak into what we're doing here and how hard we're working."

Remembering That Time Lyle Alzado Squared Off Against Muhammad Ali
Last weekend, the world lost an icon as boxer Muhammed Ali passed away at the age of 74.

"The People's Champion" defeated some of the best boxers of his day, including Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, but one of the most interesting bouts of his career occurred against an amateur fighter at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo.
The boxer the recently-retired Ali went eight rounds with on July 14, 1979? Future Raider Lyle Alzado.
