Seriously? No, they are not dead. Things we learned tonight: 1) Rousseau is definitely dead. 2) Miles isn't really so bad and he also isn't a quack. 3) Sawyer isn't dead. He's still on the island. 4) Kate is in danger. Jack is about to leave without her. He risks his life to go back to her, this making her one of the Oceanic Six afterall. That's pretty much directly stated in his little speech to Kate. Sawyer also apparently chose differently. 5) The flashforward, to the best of my knowledge took place around mid August 2006. That's the only Yankees sweep of the Red Sox I could find in the near future but I only skimmed. I may have missed something. All of these dead people showing up has to be Jacob's influence.

I'd imagine that winning the GP isn't going to help in lowering his asking price. I was under the impression that was the reason he's not in the UFC in the first place. I'm really looking forward to watching his fight tomorrow night.

Word is going around that Rich Franklin might move back to 205 because he's already beat everyone not named Anderson Silva at 185 and neither he or anyone else wants to see Franklin/Silva 3. 1) Props to Rich for realizing his place and 2) I think it's a great idea. There are a lot of big money fights for Rich at 205.

I use WaLuigi because I think his little sayings are hilarious. I'm not sure if he's the best fit for my driving style, though. I think I need to examine this by time trial.

Ha. I already work out 6 times a week, but Wii Fit is a way for me to do stuff I wouldn't necessarily want to do in public (like yoga) or stuff I just don't generally do (skiing). I also have no idea what else is on there but over 40 different things I'd imagine you can get a variety of great and fun workouts.

Actually, according to MMAMania it's an old charge that he never served the time for and in order to get his visa to fight Bisping in London he had to settle it and serve the jail time.

Well - I can see where Rampage was coming from. He had sidemount for the final 90 seconds and landed maybe 3-4 shots in total.

Do you consider Juliette a minor character? I don't. Either way - give the writers some credit. I highly doubt they are going to even have any drama in regards to Jack's status. It's more likely a plot device to highlight something else.

I think pretty much the final three tracks in the Special Cup are among the best ever. The Bowser's Castle is among the best yet, the highway track is fun going through the city and it's a pretty fun Rainbow Road. Lots of good tracks in the last three cups, actually.

Coldplay is giving away the lead single for their 4th album for free at their website. It's called Violet Hill and it's different, to say the least.

No need to spoiler tag the DREAM bouts. Only a small % of us here care about the grand prix and I doubt any of us who do were going to make it Monday to Friday without getting something spoiled.

That was dumb.

It appears as though UFC 87 is going to be co-headlined by Huerta/Florian and Lesnar/Coleman. Sign me up. Meltzer made an offhand comment in an article about Bisping that Franklin/Henderson is scheduled for later in the year. Now that's an interesting bout. My early gut says go with Dan. We all know how over-rated Dan's teammate, Matt Lindland, thinks Rich is and I'm sure Dan agrees.

Not necessarily, I don't think. Ben found it rather easily when he took Locke there last season. I think he was just letting on that he knows that Hurley is in touch with the island somehow. He was on Jacob's list, after all. They need Hurley for SOMETHING but Ben knows where Jacob is. Just another case of Ben showing Locke how little he actually knows in relation to Ben.

V1 new champ. I am watching a stream at www.live-nba.org

This game is unreal. Just so much fun. I wind up with a lot more silver trophies then I am comfortable with right now - I keep choking on all of the last tracks. I keep getting banana peels from all my boxes and hit with seemingly non-stop red shells but I am having so much fun with this game.

I threw my deposit down today for it when I picked up Mario Kart. I figure it's going to be impossible to find come release day and with a built in scale and over 40 different workout games you can play I figure it's worth the money. I'm really into to fitness and stuff so it probably should have been a no-brainer.

Travis Lutter released by the UFC. One miracle armbar escape away from being back in title contention. Funny how that works.

What an appropriate event title, come to think of it.

That's the best. I lost it when he stuck his foot through the windshield.

Can't help you with that. My sensor bar works fine. Anybody planning on getting Wii Fit? I weigh myself and work out every day anyway but I think it might be fun to get this and playing for 1 hour a day could probably be very beneficial to people. I'm wondering how fun it would be to drop the $90 but I'm thinking of getting it.

Yeah - if we were talking best overall pound for pound I'd probably exactly reverse my three.

That's a tough one. Anderson best striking, GSP best takedowns/wrestling, BJ has the best overall ground game. Anderson also has a very good BJJ game, GSP can do everything well, and BJ has serious knockout power. I would rank Anderson as the #1 pound for pound fighter right now but in terms of best all around I would put him 3rd behind those two. So it would come down to BJ vs. GSP and I really feel like they both excel at standing and the ground. BJ has recently rededicated himself to being a world class fighter and GSP has some psychological issues so I give BJ the nod by the thinnest of margins. 1) BJ Penn 2) GSP 3) Anderson Silva Distance between all three picks; very little.

The official name for this show is now Affliction: Banned The name comes from the banning of Affliction clothing from UFC shows.
