Well, you're right. It's now on the main card in favor of Diego's fight. So now we have Diego/Kos/Arlovski all on the prelims. People are probably going to want to get there on time for once. The whole concept of showing up late drives me nuts considering how expensive the tickets are. Wouldn't you want to see all the fights anyway?

I think he just kept saying "here we go". I'm pretty confident on that as I've watched the Lesnar/Mir fight approximately 15 times as of now.

There was a twinge of sarcasm in there because my jaw dropped when I heard his salary myself. I was a HUGE fan of him back in the day... I even bought his book and thorougly enjoyed it when I have little interest in the Red Sox/Yankee rivalry. I'll probably buy his epic NBA book (that he's been dropping hints about for about a year now) when it comes out too. But I see where people are coming from with his paint by the numbers columns. Will Leitch said it best. His career might have been saved by the Patriots not winning because if he wrote his column after having attended Tom Brady's celebration (as he planned) it would have pushed a lot of people over the edge.

Doesn't look like Ty Lawson is going to be able to go tonight. Fuck. If we lose tonight at least I can comfort myself by saying that we beat Duke twice last year. FYI, Dickie V. makes his return to the air for the game tonight so prepare yourself for that whole to-do.

Fox isn't a wuss. Believe me, sweetheart, it's not what the rest of the fanbase (ie normal people) want to see.

If you makes you feel any better it's been pretty well reported that he makes $1.5M per.

I suppose you could say that Tito is REALLY not taking Machida seriously. My god.

I have no desire to see Namond and Colvin. Their stories ended fine enough. Poot would be nice to see. I'm also going to flip my shit if Avon doesn't show up again in some way. As for season 3... episode 11 of that season is the best standalone episode in series history. The entire Stringer/Avon saga playing out to the end with their balcony scene (best scene in Wire history) and the entire property scene at the end. Just all around greatness.

For what its worth... Dana is trying for 3 hours.

Sure. You can. Sign up there... post your name here and I'll invite you to the camp.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport...ticle765051.ece Dana White Q&A. Pretty good read.

I take it you're avoiding Vampire Weekend? I'd also recommend checking out The Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead.

He'd be unbeatable at the wall. Like zeroes all around. Maybe Hanging Tough as well but I'm not sure about the rest of them. What an athlete, though.

There's a small chance I splurge on eBay and make the 5 hour drive for this show. The only small problem is its 4 days before my thesis defense. Ah, decisions decisions.

I had hoped the extra time would lead to more events instead of less filler. I'm glad that's the case. I think for the final they should do all the events.

If you're bored put on Animal planet. This shit rules. I'm especially enjoying it this year because they have a rottweiler/lab mix which is exactly what I have. Then: Now:

Yeah - I'd have to say this was the most anticipated season of 24 in years. And the hype for Lost has never been greater after that flash-forward.

They've given Mirko until today to say if he's going to keep fighting or retire and he still hasn't answered.

WVR also just signed Gomi. It's looking extremely likely that Keith Jardine/Wandy is going to be on for May. That should be another banger... great matchup. A win for Jardine and I gotta think he's got the winner of Griffin/Rampage.

http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02...-a-game-it-was/ Best article I've read. Despite all the deadspin tomfoolery... Will Leitch can be a pretty damn good writer sometimes.

"The Patriots main strength got debacled." Thanks, Emmitt.

VX, the Giants were #5 and not the last to make the playoffs. Saw the Pierce quote. Very nice.

Ty Lawson got injured today. Hopefully he's good to go for Duke on Wednesday.

Remember Bill Simmons Celtics vs. Patriots article which was completely written under the guise of a Patriots Super Bowl? Well Fuck him. I can't wait for his next article.
