They are estimates and they are almost always very close to the final numbers. Relax, there, JHawk. Perhaps you'd like to make another "prediction" that is word for word stolen from another website?

I feel like all of those pics were ridiculous to begin with and then someone photoshopped in the orange. No one is that fake tan, not even the Hulkster.

If Dan "outclinches" Anderson then I would be absolutely shocked. If he gets that close, he'd be wise to try to take Anderson down and see what he can do with him from top position. Otherwise he'll end up just like Rich... dazed, confused, and fucked up.

I watched Gangs of New York today for the first time since it came out and Daniel Day Lewis' performance as Bill the Butcher is just as good as it ever was. Just absolutely fucking awesome.

Even though everyone has known it for awhile, Okami vs. Tanner is official for 82. Due to all the stars on the show, Koscheck/Hazelett is going to be an undercard bout.

I have a feeling this card is going to get the most mainstream media attention since 61, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Still no takers on the Vampire Weekend CD? I figured some of you would have listened to it by now with all the buzz it's getting.

I was wondering what the consensus on this issue is. Cloverfield has already been released and half the thread is in black writing. I feel like once it's Friday and it's out - don't read the thread unless you have seen the movie because it's going to be discussed in there. That's the point of the thread, right? To discuss the movie. Continuing to use that thread as an example, Cowboy's Wednesday opinions SHOULD be spoiler tagged, every set of opinions posted Friday on should NOT be. Who is with me on that? I attached a handy poll.

Do you not have HBO on Demand? I jumped the gun by one episode in one post but every other single post in this thread has been about an episode that is already freely available on your TV set.

I'm surprised that Jeremy Stephens beat Cole Miller. The only fight I remember of Stephens was when he got armbarred by Din. I figured Cole could take that one. Hurt my picks.

Futile Burkman takedown attempt/knees/separation/fight. Swick looked awful at 170.

It doesn't take long for your stomach to regrow. That's why gastric bypass is turning out to be a failing enterprise.

Cote! And am I the only person who thinks the new ring girl is seven steps below Ali Sonoma?

Yeah I started that Wire thread and I definitely didn't format it that way.

Shannyn Sossaman is smoking hot.

Get excited for next Monday guys. Episode 5 is awesome in so many ways. That's all I'm going to say about it. A non-spoiler spoiler below:

I agree. But what exactly is Tito trying to prove here. He's claiming they aren't paying him enough but he makes more than 95% of the roster. I can only think of very few that make more than he does, which I believe is $210k a fight. I'm not sure he's worth Chuck Liddell money. He just wants to bail on the UFC so he might not show up 100% for the fight. I think Machida would be a great title contender so I'm hoping he can beat Tito. Karo on Tagg radio:

I'm not sure where this should go but I think I'll get answers in this thread: Does anyone know what the deal with Time Warner's HD channels is? I believe we were supposed to get a ton more channels by end 2007 including TBS, USA, etc. but they never showed up on my box. Probably Marv or someone knows where to find such information. Why no new channels?

I think I'm anticipating Lesnar/Mir more than any fight I can remember simply because I, along with just about everyone, has no idea how it's going to go. People make arguments that Mir's jitz is too strong and Lesnar is tapping immediately and I can totally see that happening. On the other side of the coin, Brock is too strong, his GnP will crush Mir, who still isn't the same, which I can also buy. Naturally, I lean towards Mir but when you have guys like Militech saying that Lesnar can be the best HW in all of MMA within a few years I question my original thought process. I hate MFS fighters, for the most part, but I respect the man's opinion. I just can't wait to see what happens.

I couldn't hold out. I d/l episodes 5 and 6. I'm not going to say anything in this thread about them because I'd imagine some serious shit is going to go down after these episodes... I probably won't get to watch them until tomorrow but I'm pretty excited about them. I checked episode 5 to see if it worked and downloaded properly and the first scene is No idea what the scene is about or what happened but man I can't wait to watch these.

I don't think it is so much that diets themselves don't work, I think either one, people don't supplement them with excersizing, two, people lose the desired amount of weight and then stop the diet altogether and go back to their bad eating habits, or lastly, don't even stick to the diet and/or "cheat" Plenty of people I know have dieted and had a lot of success, the problem is once they get to the desired weight they figured they were "done" and just went back to the old way of eating, so it isn't the diet itself that didn't work, rather the mindset that a diet is something that expires one day. I am going to be supplementing this with excersize. Going to the gym 3-4 times a week is 3-4 more times then I do now, and like I said, that is going to continue beyond any diet I am doing. It's not like I am just saying "I won't eat bread, but other then that I am throwing caution to the wind" You obviously don't get it. If they lose weight then slack because they lost weight and go back to eating bad then gain the weight, then IT DIDN'T WORK. Diets don't work for that VERY reason. You're going for a short fix. If you want to lose weight then dieting is not the answer. Low carb diet is something that nearly no one can do for an entire lifetime... so you're going for a short fix also and I guarantee that shit's going to go bad for you. And I'm not just some dude on a message board talking about shit he doesn't know about.... I have a degree in Nutritional Science.

Oh for fuck's sake. I had a theory, thats all. So it was lame. Big deal. Can nobody let things go here?! It wasn't merely a theory. It was one of the most retarded things imaginable to say and it's hard to even fathom someone's brain being so empty.

I never knew it was largely one family. I wonder why they hate gays so much. That demon of a woman is probably secretly gay and hates herself for it.
