Time to put up, or shut up, GSP!
ReplyDeleteI know there are only like two other Chicago Bulls fans on this blog, but... how 'bout dem Bulls? Kicking a lot of butt tonight against the undefeated Pacers. Rose looks like he's finally learn to slow down on offense and not to act so erratic (and his new 3 point shot looks pretty damn good).
ReplyDeleteI was worried after the first four games, but this has been Thibs basketball the last few games.
Hopefully he will shut up
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide between going to meet a girl for a drink or ordering a pizza and watching the Oilers/Flames. I haven't had pizza in a while and I like watching the Oilers failures - they're like the Blue Jays on ice. I also don't like going out in the cold, don't want to drive 20 minutes to the bar, don't want to have to pay for a cab home if I drink, don't want to not drink if I'm at a bar, and I'm pretty sure she's always pretty drunk which could make my night easier or more of a hassle.
ReplyDeleteSo at the moment I'm leaning towards ordering pizza and staying in as opposed to getting drunk with a girl. Me from 5 years ago would be disgusted.
My "Castle Greyskull" Theory is holding up with the Knicks. Anytime a team comes to play in MSG their powers increase 100 fold.
ReplyDeleteOver/Under on nailing her tonight?
ReplyDeleteShit Rashad/Sonnen is tonight as well? Good card.
ReplyDeleteHard to say. It was a brief meeting/introduction a couple of weeks ago, followed by weeks of texting. This would be the first official date, so I wouldn't expect sex, but it's also (at her suggestion) meeting up at a bar when she's already drunk, which could mean sex is on the table.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I say make her wait for it... don't get her in the habit of thinking you will cancel plans to hang out with her... even if she doesn't know about them
ReplyDeletelol. I hadn't heard of this theory before, but this is true.
ReplyDeleteI was kind of annoyed she just wanted to meet up at a bar when she was already going to be there. I wanted a one on one meeting, I'm worth it.
ReplyDeleteSonnen is still around? I thought I heard that skin-colored bag of shit retired. Hope he gets KTFO 10 seconds into the fight.
ReplyDeleteExactly... this isn't even really a "date" so I say blow her off...
ReplyDeleteHoly Shit I didn't know Damien Sandow was facing GSP
ReplyDeleteInvite her over to your place to watch the game.
ReplyDeleteYou have potential kid
ReplyDeleteGSP. Decision. Boring call but the right call
ReplyDeleteHe's cashing in!
ReplyDeleteIf yu think about it, as powerful as the sorceress was, the minute a villian stepped in there they kicked her ass.
ReplyDeleteJust because I'm high don't mean I'm dumb...
ReplyDeleteGSP by boring jabfest decision. The man can't finish a sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThis is a LOADED card. Ares/Lawler, Kos/Woodley, Chael/Rashad...it gon' be a good night tater.
Ask yourself: What would CM Punk do?
ReplyDeleteI don't know her well enough to have her here, could leave me vulnerable to pop in's and drive by's if she turns out crazy.
ReplyDeleteNail her and tell her to go home afterwards?
ReplyDeleteHe submitted Shogun in his last fight and he looks good for this fight. He's also making enemies in Brazil trying to line up Vitor and Wanderlei. I think he agreed to coach TUF Brazil already also.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I dislike his mouth he's not going anywhere.
They stacked this card with names but this card could disappoint. Lots of decision guys here. UFC is hoping and praying the early part of this card has some carnage because top of the card is projecting to go deep.
ReplyDeleteIf you're worried about that then you should definitely stay home.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think he'd let her in the house? Punk would probably just stick his dick through the mail slot in the door.
ReplyDeleteHopefully he's going to the hospital to have his jaw wired shut so he can't open his ignorant fucking mouth for a while.
ReplyDeleteHe's talking people into buys, guy. He's a professional.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Rory's last fight was awful, Kos has been in his share of snoozers, and I can see Rashad out-grappling Chael in a boring fight. But I love GSP, so I'm almost hoping for a boring main event because that bodes well for him retaining the belt.
ReplyDeleteHe could do without the casual racism he throws around. We're all wrestling fans here, we all like some hype and bluster but when he goes racial and socioeconomic on Brazil and Brazilians it kind of feels like crossing the line to me.
ReplyDeleteit's strange to me about how players today still get hyped up over MSG and "the mecca of basketball". There really aren't that many native New Yorkers playing in the league these days and nobody playing in the league is old enough to remember the last Knicks title anymore. But all the players believe it still and get hyped up for MSG. One of those things that's still a little weird to me.
ReplyDeleteMSG is one of the last great buildings left. (though they are trying to change that) A lot of big games there.
ReplyDeleteAnd their last title was in '73.
He's a republican, they don't know any better.
ReplyDeleteThat worked well for him last time he fought a long time champion
ReplyDeleteHe'd make HER pay for a NICE hotel... and still make her leave afterwards
ReplyDeleteMark.
ReplyDeleteA professional fucking idiot. Of course, I expect nothing less from a guy that works for Dana White.
ReplyDeleteAt least this guy is human.
ReplyDeleteThe Octagon seems too large to me when flyweights go at it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like my twins fighting it out in the playpen.
ReplyDeleteScorpio always struck me as a guy who could have been a bit more in the WWF
ReplyDeleteDammit. I missed "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth"
ReplyDeleteYour kids have some polished skills. Well done.
ReplyDeleteFinally saw Man of Steel today... much better than I had been led to believe.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I mean though. Nash is the oldest player in the league and he was born in 74 so not only does he not remember it, he wasn't born. The average NBA player is between 20 and 30 so they have no memory of Knicks glory; during their formative years the Knicks were getting trashed by Jordan. For the younger ones, they remember Dolan and Isiah running the team into the ground more than anything.
ReplyDeleteThe current crop has so few natives that they don't have any connection to the old NY scene. Guys like Artest/MWP are the exception. None of these guys played at Rucker or remember the crazy streetball days like Artest does when he talks about remembering guys getting javelined with table legs. Even the guys like Carmelo who claim NY, he's not really from NY. He never was a part of that scene.
I get that the building is classic and it's seen a lot in its day but why does that mean anything to the current guys. They aren't old enough to remember when MSG meant anything, they're only old enough to know about people TELLING them that it means something.
Its a tough world
ReplyDeleteThat Alabama/Mississippi State game is closer than I thought.
ReplyDeleteI saw Thor earlier. It was...OK.
ReplyDelete*comes out of the BoD bathroom*
ReplyDeleteI advise you all to give it about 35 minutes before going in there.
Fuck! OfficeFarva was in charge of catering tonight... that means Taco Bell!
ReplyDeleteThor made me feel like the superhero movie might be in need of a break for a little while. It wasn't a bad movie but it just wasn't anything special.
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga is on SNL tonight and what is everybody talking about leading up to that show?
ReplyDeleteRob Ford.
Time to hang it up, Gaga. You're at 14:59.
Dude, girl's been on top for the last five years or so.
ReplyDeleteNew Triple Steak Stack....much smaller than seen on TV.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen it but I concur. I think they have bled that well dry the last 15 years
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised who has played at the Rucker. I saw Brandon Jennings there a few years back and Kobe played a few games.
ReplyDeleteBut as far as MSG goes, the vets that are left usually have stories about playing there....usually at the expense of the Knicks.
I suppose I'm being harsh, but then again this is the internet.
ReplyDeleteWCW too... him and Sting were the shit!
ReplyDeleteWho is Rob Ford?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you've read Watchmen, but if they made that movie Dr. Manhattan the movie, with superman, it would have been excellent.
ReplyDeleteI guess those prep school exams are harder than I thought.
ReplyDeleteRemember that time Sting's partner betrayed him?
ReplyDeleteThe mayor of the center of the universe.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I follow... you are saying if Man of Steel were Dr. Manhattan the movie it would have been good?
ReplyDeleteNope... and neither does Sting.
ReplyDeleteOh that guy.. that is still a story?
ReplyDeleteI thought the Superman movie was 20 minutes too long, but it was action-packed. They also changed some things which pissed off the cartoon geeks.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, good sir. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start calling you Ted. Just accept it.
ReplyDeleteYeah if you wanted continuity this wasnt the movie for you... also I felt like it jumped straight from origin story to action packed climax... very little second act
ReplyDeleteWow the ref just told the dude penalized BOTH boxers for unsportsmanlike conduct?!?!
ReplyDeleteI'm saying if they did the Dr. Manhattan thing of making the whole movie about Superman's appearence and powers and the crazy shit that'd do to the world, the whole grim aesthetic would have rocked.
ReplyDelete...because he had a time traveling adventure with Bill?
ReplyDelete"Can you at least drive me home?"
ReplyDelete"Get your own bus."
Ah ok... I guess I can see that... not sure how exciting that would be for a Superman movie though
ReplyDeleteBecause he'd rather post on a message board then go out with a girl.
ReplyDeleteEh, it certainly beats the 'hey lets fuck that whole truth justice and the American way thing!"
ReplyDelete...the bear?
ReplyDeleteA guy that likes to talk about eating pussy on live TV
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4siKr6qY8w
Saw highlights of that hail mary in the Auburn game. Insane.
ReplyDelete...AND he threatened fines and penalties. The fuck?!?! I've never seen an 8-7 round before.
ReplyDeleteJust trust me on this guy's. Old mick has seen this type of behavior before. He's Ted.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Dan Severn still has the 'stache.
ReplyDeleteBut it's cold out.
ReplyDeleteIs she hot?
ReplyDeleteMy dad?
ReplyDeleteHe's just a crack smokin, pussy eatin son of a gun.
ReplyDeleteWoooo!
ReplyDeleteYou know it?
ReplyDeleteYeah, she's pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways choose the girl
ReplyDeleteShe took too much time off IMO. You can't just disappear as a shock artist because when you come back it always feels like a rehash even if you're just following the normal album release schedule.
ReplyDeleteVery wierd. Sometimes I see pics of her I'd want to fuck, while other times it looks like she caught the reaper virus from Blade II.
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave you met Ted?
ReplyDeleteI know your dad likes to talk about eating pussy, but when did he do it on TV?
ReplyDeleteI think that this Saturday night thread needs more posts about cricket and horse racing. Sports would be nothing without these two.
ReplyDeleteI've known Ted for over 10 years. This is straight out of his playbook
ReplyDeleteMy god I want Kos knocked out in the first round!
ReplyDeleteIt totally blows my mind that cricket is actually the second most popular sport in the world.
ReplyDeleteI fricken love horse racing.
ReplyDelete'74
ReplyDeleteI remember last year all the Indian people at my job took off because they won the Cricket World Series.
ReplyDeleteI think it bothers me more that the first is soccer... but when you only need a ball to play, I can see why.
ReplyDeleteSame. SUCH a prick
ReplyDeleteDarn it. I didn't know the main event started yet. Good last round by Ward. How do you see the fight so far?
ReplyDeleteSee, now we're talking. My godfather back home in Canada races horses. Cart style racing, not jockey.
ReplyDeleteUgly. This Rodriguez dude fights dirty.
ReplyDeleteHey I'm watching Ufc at a sports bar where I couldn't get a table. Bar is packed. Is it rude to try to get a table waitress to bring me drinks to where I'm stranding?
ReplyDeleteMy cousin used to work at a race track. Very interesting to go there and watch.
ReplyDeleteSo we watch football here in North America, and it's taken seriously, but I don't ever recall violent riots taking place. Are we really civilized after all?
ReplyDeleteIt's bad bar etiquette IMO but as long as you tip well, you're good.
ReplyDeleteI don't get soccer at all. It makes baseball look exciting.
ReplyDeleteHerb Dean: "y'all jes hurre up I wants ta get hiii"
ReplyDeleteLol koschek
ReplyDeleteGoodnight Koscheck. Time to find a new job.
ReplyDeleteYES! YES! YES!
ReplyDeleteFINISH HIM
ReplyDelete:: Steals this, gives it to White Thunder ::
ReplyDeleteThe weird part is how maniacal football fans are with the rioting and whatnot when rugby fans are generally super laid-back and downright collegial. I definitely preferred the relaxed atmosphere of rugby matches compared with the lockdown mentality of football.
ReplyDeleteThe world is a scary place when Raiders fans look good in comparison.
ReplyDeleteThen again they haven't decapitated a ref and put his head on a stick to send a message. Yet.
Tyron Woodley... a star is born.
ReplyDeleteMy friend played pro basketball overseas. He said he went to soccer games there and the fans would take coins the size of silver dollars, heat them up red-hot with lighters and throw them on the players.
ReplyDeleteProbably expounded on the battery-tossing Philly hooligans.
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking to me how bad they are with soccer in some parts of the world. They throw batteries and bags of urine/feces at American players in Mexico while they're on the pitch taking corners.
ReplyDeleteIn Spain they throw bananas at black players... how the fuck is that any sort of acceptable?
ReplyDeleteJosh Koschek's relevance
ReplyDeleteUltimate Fighter 1 - 2013
He should consider himself lucky, I saw a video once from the Turkish (or maybe Greek) pro basketball league where some fuckhead threw a grenade on the court.
ReplyDelete(genie nods head)
ReplyDeleteAndre Ward is a fucking beast. He is surgical in the ring.
ReplyDeleteHe had a good run. I remember when he was being hyped up as "the guy" to take out GSP. He should be able to get a job coaching wrestling anywhere he wants with his skills so he'll have a soft landing after he gets cut.
ReplyDeleteI think that GSP II stole the rest of his relevance, and now he's just coasting.
ReplyDeleteA fucking grenade? "OK, just play around the crater, fellas."
ReplyDeleteKos is a great fighter, I just never bought into him on that level. He's actually the only guy I like less than GSP.
ReplyDeleteThat's happened at hockey games a couple times too.
ReplyDeleteI watched a game Allen Iverson played in and the fans threatened his team to the point they pulled him off the court. His team was scared to play, but he played his ass off and won the respect of the opposing crowd.
ReplyDeleteHe's really something. Rodriguez is fighting dirty as hell, and Ward just shakes it off and goes back at him. Even more impressive considering the layoff.
ReplyDeleteKos' transformation into a well rounded fighter was a sight to behold. He had boring LNP guy written all over him. Then...he started knocking fools out.
ReplyDeleteLOL you win
ReplyDeleteHis power jab is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI really want Rory to lose. Partially because I want Lawler's resurgence to continue, and partly because he creeps me the fuck out.
ReplyDeleteHis jab has turned into a power punch. I wish he could just knock this SOB out, though. He is a master boxer and it's just beautiful to watch and study.
ReplyDeleteI hope this mother fucker loses just for coming out to Rhiana
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law raised quarter horses. Went to the track in mn a lot to watch. Some of the best entertainment there is. The two dollar minimum bets don't hurt either.
ReplyDeleteHe was strong BEFORE the shoulder surgery. He said he got stronger afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to believe him now.
OH OUR BROTHER! TESTIFY!-The Clones #WarMikeInIndy
ReplyDeleteI want Lawler to crush Rory simply because it'll piss off GSP and make the main event better.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with quarter horses is that they are only 1/4 a horse... I'll show myself out...
ReplyDeleteI dated a girl whose ass was so big I thought she was 1/4 horse.
ReplyDeleteWord is Jim Dolan is blaming the loss to the Hawks on Spike Lee!
ReplyDeletewhich is why your life is ORDIN (wait for it) ARY!-Barney Stinson
ReplyDeleteRogan is SUCH a mark for the leg kick
ReplyDeleteCrazy thing is that some guy saw it and grabbed it and tossed it where no one was standing. He lost 2 fingers, but he was the only one that was injured by it.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a terrorist attack thing and had nothing to do with the game itself. Where better to try and maim a shitload of people then a sporting event?
Man did they cut Barney's balls off having get all soft over Robin
ReplyDeleteDamn, dude. I'm surprised Al Qaeda hasn't tried some shit with a Super Bowl game or something. I imagined security is tightened a hundred fold.
ReplyDeleteGreg Jackson needs to corner for everyone in every fight just for the entertainment value
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Al Qaeda we were planning to attack a big e....
ReplyDelete***PLEASE STAND BY***
They have violent riots in Vancouver over hockey, but they're so stoned up there they don't realize your only supposed to riot when you WIN the Cup, not when you lose in the finals. And if me, of all people, is calling you out on smoking too much weed then you might have a bit of a problem there, Vancouver...
ReplyDeleteRobbie keeps slipping those in there. It's gotta knot up Rory's leg after a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh its effective... I used it a lot when i was in Kung fu... but Rogan acts like it should be a 10 - 4 round when someone lands one of those
ReplyDeleteAgreed, It's especially annoying since Rogan is a TKD guy at heart. He reacts to the good leg kicks and the slapping ones the same.
ReplyDeleteWell... dude does smoke a LOT of pot.
ReplyDeleteLawler just THROWING out there!
ReplyDeleteI hate the term lay and pray because it's usually wrong but wow, Rory is literally laying and praying here. Kick his ass Robbie.
ReplyDeleteWAR Lawler!!
ReplyDeleteShe's trapped in a way because anything shocking she does is seen as "Gaga-style" which really DOES make it no different.
ReplyDeleteIf she wants to turn some heads again, she should drop the act: write and produce something that's more melodically ambitious.
GSP's little buddy has learned a lot. Stand and jab, takedown that leads to nothing, switch positions to look busy, profit. Shame, too. The kid is a legit psycho.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Super Bowl but I've heard that the security is brutal, like, arrive 2 hours early like you're catching a flight and shit. Last Bills game I went to I got a brief pat-down where I think they were more looking for booze than weapons (for instance, if I had a pistol in an ankle holster I would have got it past them), the Sabres game I went to a month ago they had people with those handheld metal detectors checking everyone. I didn't get scanned (probably because I was having a conversation with her boss at the time), so I could have brought anything I wanted in there. I'd imagine the security is a lot tighter in NYC and DC and places like that though.
ReplyDeleteMacDonald may get the decision but IMO Robbie won the fight. I have it 29-28 Lawler but who knows what the judges will see.
ReplyDeleteGREAT FiGHT!
ReplyDeleteShit... Rory might have just stole that round.
ReplyDelete29-28 The King
ReplyDeleteProblem with MMA judging: Even if Rory won the first round, it doesn't deserve equal points to Lawler's dominating of the 3rd.
ReplyDeleteSame.
ReplyDeleteThey've been discussing that recently. There are some that want one big round.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it used to be... don't know if that is the solution
ReplyDeleteWell, that ruins GSP 2.0 from happening for the next 10 years so bravo!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean?
ReplyDeleteProblem is that scoring is modeled after boxing...but over the course of 10 rounds the 10-9 system works itself out. With just 3 rounds they need to find a better way.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand womens fighting... do they set up the octagon to look like a kitchen so women no how to navigate properly?
ReplyDeleteAn NBA game, or when he played in Taiwan or wherever?
ReplyDeleteOh I agree... ust don't think 1 big round is the solution
ReplyDeleteIMO the solution is more 10-8 rounds and more 10-10s. The 10-10 is legal in MMA scoring but "officially discouraged".
ReplyDeleteI loves me some Ruthless Robbie Lawler.
ReplyDeleteWhat woman knows how to navigate a kitchen? If anything they avoid that shit.
ReplyDeleteUFC always has an agenda. I believe tonight was supposed to be a "coming out" party for Rory Macdonald. GSP is on his way out, Rory is on his way up and I think UFC would like Rory to be THE guy at 170.
ReplyDeleteBut in a legit sport, the action doesn't always follow the plan.
Well Anderson you clearly haven't spent this time learning English... THIS IS AMERICA DAMN IT! /republican
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%.
ReplyDeleteWhat a package for Weidman - Silva!
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend legitimately started a kitchen fire last week by boiling water. No idea how that happened.
ReplyDeleteNot if you train them properly
ReplyDeleteUFC is getting better at that. IMO they should try to steal away some WWE guys and try and really up the ante on that. What a WWE production team could do with Chael vs. Wanderlei (if it ever happens) would be spectacular.
ReplyDelete"But in a legit sport, the action doesn't always follow the plan."
ReplyDeleteSee Gabriel Gonzaga KTFO Mirko Co Cop
WWE video guys are the most underappreciated people in the world
ReplyDeleteCharismatic black guy vs. Asshole republican... its the 2012 election presented by UFC
ReplyDeleteWomen don't cook, they go serve the shit us men cook.
ReplyDeleteBobby Moynihan as Rob Ford was much less funny than the real Rob Ford.
ReplyDeleteExactly... or Mike Russo making the comeback of the century vs Todd Duffee. Duffee was being built up as a star before he became one... because the guy looks exactly like what a marketable fighter should look like. Then he loses to Duffee which sets off this wild course of him complaining about money and getting fired from UFC, then taking a fight vs Overeem on less than 2 weeks notice, getting knocked out in 19 seconds and later diagnosed with Parsonage Turner Syndrome that's kept him out all year.
ReplyDeleteAsk her, because I'm really curious about how the hell that could ever happen.
ReplyDelete
