Is it just me, or was Carlito moving rather slowly?

Just a quick question: With the roll the Rockies have been on, has a team swept the entire post-season?

Rev 2.25

The UFC might have been building up and getting bigger before Randy.. but he did have a hand in it getting bigger. The UFC kept pimping out how Randy was this old man that could kick anyone's ass, pimping how he was the first to win a title in two different devisions, pimping him as Captain America. The UFC used guys like Randy, Chuck, Tito and others to pimp out the UFC to a broader base.. to get more exposure for their promotion and if those guys aren't getting an adequate deal that represents the time they've put in to promote the UFC, to spread Dana and the Fertita's gospel to anyone that would listen, then they have the right to feel that they were underpaid and taken advantage of. The fear that people should be having is that when people like Tito, Chuck and others start to leave.. who will the UFC market? Currently no one in the HW devision is marketable, hence why people clamored for Randy to come back and take the title. Other devisions, maybe a guy here or there.. but then you run into the problem that you have with boxing in that people start to lose interest because there isn't a compelling reason to watch the fight. I watched Oscar / Floyd not because I was looking for some clinic to take place, but because of the emotions I felt for each in how the fight was built and how the two men marketed not only the fight, but themselves. UFC can have all the clinic matches they want and sure, it'll draw people in.. but the casual crowd will want the drama, not the fight.

Yeah, the JAX/HOU officials haven't been all that grand either. Lots of non-calls or phantom ones mixed in with a few of those "...lets wait a full twenty seconds after the play is over to toss out the flag..."

Schaub fumbles, JAX recovers for the TD. 30-9. .500 and The Houston Texans begin to become who we think they are.

Tenn pulls it out in the end and Mich State seemed to have it pretty much in hand all game and I get the win. Prolly did pretty shitty on the rest of my picks, but.. a win is a win.

Kentucky pulls off the upset. Good for them.

1: The guy would have to make weight for the fight. Could either make it, or not. The latter gives the chance that he doesn't fight at all. 2: IF he makes weight and bombs in the fight.. shows up with a complete lack of preparation and just doesn't really take the fight seriously, he could've fought his last fight in the UFC. Now, with both cases.. I'm sure somewhere in the contract there is something that if any of those two examples happened, a fighter could be found in breach of his contract, allowing the UFC to with-hold payment and bar him from fighting in the UFC.

Did it ever... ever occur to you that "small money fighters" have to fight more because of the fact they're still having to scratch and claw for a spot on the PPV card and not some lousy dark match? These guys have to go out and bust ass more often than a Tito.. than a Chuck.. then even a Rampage because they don't have the drawing power the aforementioned names do. So yeah, Roger's gonna have five fights while Tito only has two or three.. but then again, a guy like Tito has the luxury of picking and choosing who he can / will fight because as much as people will hate on him, Tito brings in money. That, just has you sound like Andrew Bogut and his views on the NBA.

Then you're a fucking idiot. How about you go and start up a schedule that is on par with what top-flight UFC fighters take on and then tell me you'd be happy with "pennies to fight 3 times a year." These guys go in whole and wind up leaving the octagon with bruised or broken ribs.. broken arms.. concussions. Shit that can fuck up their daily lives beyond repair. Of course, "they know what they're getting into.. they're fighters..." would probably be the response, but that's fine. As much as you rant on and on about the sport and profess how much knowledge you have, you're obviously an ignorant bastard.

Hell, I was just askin Rip. I haven't picked up the game.. just figured that at least someone round these parts would've played long enough to pick up their ring. I'm still leery on picking it up since everything I see, people are ripping it and saying it isn't as good as other iterations.

anyone get their Madden Championship ring yet?

Sorry for getting this in a bit late.. I think I've started to come down with Bronchitis. THURSDAY Florida State at Wake Forest FRIDAY Hawaii at San Jose State SATURDAY Georgia Tech at Miami Purdue at Michigan Tennessee at Mississippi State LSU at Kentucky Wisconsin at Penn State Texas A&M at Texas Tech Connecticut at Virginia TCU at Stanford Missouri at Oklahoma Indiana at Michigan State Auburn at Arkansas Colorado at Kansas State Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Missouri/Oklahoma game? 56 Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Kentucky's Andre Woodson have against LSU? 200

Texas Tech suspends selling of "Vick 'em" T-Shirt

Which is a finish that has been done for over 30 years. TNA didn't invent the wheel nor have they done any original finish. Just saying, is all. No reason for people to act like it was some great ending...

The Finlay ending was meh. Nothing more than a re-hash of the AJ Styles / Rhino finish about half a year ago where AJ faked a knee injury to slide back into the ring while Rhino was mourning to sneak the win.

I lost. Probably will tumble down a few spots.

So ESPN is calling Stanford over Cal the biggest upset in College Football. Uhm... App. State over Michigan I guess was just a minor upset..

I'm feelin the pressure this weekend.. need Rutgers to come back to win and Florida to hang on. I've conceded the Nebraska game

Hey Ripper, have you found any good sliders for the game? Anything to at least curb the missing easy lay-ups in the paint?

28-21 OU right now. This game has been pretty interesting.. what with some iffy calls and a blatant cheap shot from OU on Colt McCoy that got no-called. It's looking like whoever has the ball last might be the team that wins.
