The whole submissions thing bothers me, because Ricco seemed to get out of them so damn easy. So basically they reward token attempts at submissions, just because they try them. Or just reward being a PrideFC fighter.

It also seemed like Rampage made attempts to do something and Busta would just sit down so I would hold that against him. And if Ricco didn't have total control the whole time I might buy that. I do agree with the announcers talking during the match about standing them up more. Nobody was getting anything, but they would set them up back in the guard position over and over. Reset them once, if nothing happens stand them up.

Yeah. I was a little shocked when he called Overeem "Good looking" though. So what do the semi's look like? I'm guessing Liddell vs Rampage and Silva vs Yoshida, just because it will give Chuck a harder style to fight, and Yoshida could be "avenging" Sak's loss. I think during the interview with Lidell they mentioned that if he won he drew Silva/Sak winner. Guess they are hoping for a big Rampage/Silva final.

I am curious though why are people allowed to wear gis? It seems that anything that is not a part of your body, that you could choke your opponent with shouldn't be anywhere near the fight.

I thought he was solid during the matches, the between match stuff just made me hate him though. Hopefully he was just trying too hard and will be better next time in those segments.

I did enjoy the announcers trying to cover like "Well, uh, Noguiera was trying for submissions" then the other one just saying "You're reaching aren't you?". Also, did it seem like they were playing up the UFC vs. Pride matchup a little ridiculously. Granted it is a solid storyline, but they were trumping up Liddell vs. Overeem as the biggest match on the card and nobody is going to buy that.

Just wanted to have this thread to save the other one from results just in case people are seeing it later. My few observations: Ricco got screwed Why do people get to wear gis (sic?)? CroCop = MDK Murder Death Kill

I have to agree with you there. Fuck this I am starting a new thread.

Is it safe to discuss in here yet or are people still watching later feeds?

I was going to avoid all spoilers. I just figured if someone wanted to put them up to create a new thread for them.

I agree whole heartedly that it is no different. I wish I had that kind of money to burn.

I am pretty sure I saw this was on national primetime over there. So free PRIDE is even more incentive. On a similar note, some of those Sherdog guys are nuts. Browsing around the forums a bunch of them were like "Yeah, I'll be getting into Japan on Friday." Going over there for that is nuts.

Only a hour and a half left before it starts: Will Sak avenge his previous losses? Will Goodridge pull off the upset? Will RRR be able to avoid spoilers? No No NO FUCKING WAY On another note the casino sucks. I went on my 21st birthday lost $140 and haven't been back since. I would rather waste my money on stuff like this and DVDs than just give it to Donald Trump.

AIM drafts are fine as long as people know what they are doing going in. I tried to run a couple from yahoo messageboards people looking for leagues. But that never works out well, because people can't stay in line and usually half of them leave by the end.

I should be in. I can't tell though. I can't find a list of the teams, but if you can and see The Whalers on the Moon then I am in.

Well I just saw the stupidest scoring stat ever. Browsing the available Yahoo leagues, one of the leagues is docking QBs 5 points each time they are sacked.. So David Carr would be worth about minus fifty thousand points.

Staley's departure is going to make less of an impact then people think. He is a mediocre runner. And he can catch the ball out of the backfield, but they added Jon Ritcie who can catch it and Bryan Westbrook is seeing more reps and he can catch it. And I think if he had his druthers Reid would like Staley to just stay away. He is pissed at Duce at this point. The players want Duce back, but this is pissing off Reid even more because Duce is starting to become a cancer. I think Reid would rather be able to tell his players "Duce is done, let's move on" as opposed to keep having this drag on then bring in a malcontent. That is the biggest thing, even if Duce comes back the Eagles aren't going to give him an extension so he will just become a miserable pain in the ass.
