Billy Walsh was again incredible, but the rest was meh.

Yeah... Shaunie is a terrible actor.

I'm both a little upset and kind of excited for B.J. going back up to 170. For one, he looked phenomenal at 155 and I'd love to see him be a champ at two weight classes. On the other hand, I'd like to see this new cardio ready B.J. take on GSP and Hughes. I agree with whoever above said he can beat both. He can. But you never know which B.J. you're gonna get. And yeah...Faber will kill Jens. But that will be a money fight to watch. Hopefully it's on Vs. And Micah Miller is Cole's brother... I thought that it was possible when I saw Micah fight but I wasn't sure.

Well, UFC themselves confirmed Hamill vs. Bisping today so there goes that Shamrock fight. Personally, I find the fight to be bullshit. What has Hamill shown to get to fight Bisping? Why do they keep spoon-feeding Bisping gatekeepers and nobodies? I want to see him fight someone good.

Depends on where you live. In Ithaca where I live now, Verizon is far and away the best. But when I lived in Chapel Hill, Cingular was the best. But here's the thing that people aren't getting... this doesn't break down into Apple fanboys against everyone else. ALOT of normal people want the iPhone. Face it, presentation-wise alone this thing kills. It looks great, it offers some things that a lot of people haven't seen before and it has the mother of all marketing machines behind it. It will do what Stevie J. thinks it will, 10% market share. There's not a doubt in my mind. I, personally, will have to wait a year until my Verizon contract runs out, but yeah... this is gonna be a big seller.

I found Safari 2.0 completely unusable. I have been liking 3.0 a lot so far. In fact, I use it as my primary browser since I downloaded it. I don't really notice a difference in performance between browsers that I use...

The Marlins absolutely NEED to pick up Milton Bradley. Oh, and Anibal Sanchez has a torn labrum. See you in 2008.

The show as a whole was pretty solid so if you do manage to find a replay try to catch the whole thing.

I really liked it. Some LOL jokes and some great songs. It would have been even better but the commercials gave away some of the better jokes. I watched the comedy special from 2005 On Demand earlier, and it was pretty decent. I like Jemaine... Yeah - I like this show a lot but I can't see it lasting more then one season. I don't know.

Wow. That was an amazing season premiere... and maybe one of the best episodes of Entourage ever. Billy Walsh is a fucking maniac genius and I love it.

I'm not really sure what to think right now. But that episode and the preview for next week went a long way in keeping me watching. Much better than the first one. I'm really interested to find out what's going on. I like a lot of the minor characters and I'll say it again... Ed O'Neill is owning this show right now.

While this thread is titled media it might also be a good place to ask why we can't imbed youtube videos here on the site?

The whole PPV was pretty decent. The things that annoyed me/I didn't like: Forrest fighting scared. Forrest's shitty attitude. "I didn't train very hard for this fight." FU. The first two rounds of Okami/Franklin. I was really hoping that Rich tapped to that kimura in the third round. It was close and he showed great submission defense getting out of it. The coolest part of Griffin/Ramirez was having The Natural in one corner and Rampage in the other. Worth the money for Griffin/Guida, but overall suprisingly good. I just wish that Okami and Scott Smith ended up winning. I really hope that Anderson defends his belt now because I'm curious to see a Franklin/Silva rematch.

Somewhere in Canada, LOTC just had multiple orgasms because Griffin/Guida was 17 types of awesome. Too much awesomeness to even describe. I'd have to watch it 4 more times to digest it all. FOTN, FOTY, whatever. It was beautiful. Made the purchase worth the money.

I'm weak. I bought this despite my best intentions. Scott Smith currently bleeding profusely but I'm hoping he can turn this around and take care of Herman. I hate Ed Herman. Cocky, ugly ginger fucker. And Smith, on the other hand, provides an entertaining fight EVERY time win or lose. He should have a lifetime contract.

Premiers on HBO at 10:30 this Sunday (after Entourage.) Part of the lyric I can't wait for this. The previews have been making me laugh. Apparently you can watch the entire first episode on hbo.com now but I'm gonna wait for tomorrow.

I'm really digging Ed O'Neill's performance. Everything else... It had better grow on me fast.

Yeah it was a massive number for HBO.

Yeah. Last night at 11. Full card: Main Card (Televised) * B.J. Penn vs. Jens Pulver * Nate Diaz (Finalist #1) vs. Manny Gambaryan (Finalist #2) * Roger Huerta vs. Doug Evans * Thales Leites vs. Doug Sword Undercard (May Not Be Broadcast) * Joe Lauzon vs. Brandon Melendez * Cole Miller vs. Andy Wang * Rob Emerson Vs. Gray Maynard * Allen Berube vs. Leonard Garcia * Brian Geraghty vs. Matt Wiman Corey Hill is apparently injured. I can't wait.

Yeah so Royce tested positive for steroids after his K-1 fight. Didn't see that coming.

Oh yeah... Manny definitely Koscheked his way to victory against Lauzon and Wiman. That whole last episode was incredible... from the slow mo ping pong shots (topped by Dana's expressions), to Cole getting his head shaved, to the entire fight... But nothing topped Nate Diaz's elegant speech on what it means to be an emotional fighter.

Very much looking forward to this one.

I finally caught some clips of Tyson Griffin knocking out Urijah Faber by countering Faber's superman punch at that outdoor card. Still his only loss. Seemed like a bad ass fight. I guess that PPV doesn't seem all bad, but I'm still gonna skip it and hope for the good matches to find their way online.

Has Rich Franklin had a single day in the past 5 years where he hasn't had a black eye? That's what I'm wondering. During the course of the UFC countdown show I noticed 3 different versions.

Keith Law just did a review of the 2002 draft on ESPN.com. It's insider so I won't bother linking it. It's a rather long article, breaking down each pick and sorting the busts and great picks, etc. Here's the top and bottom 5: Top: 1. D-Rays (B.J. Upton, Elijah Dukes) 2. Marlins (Jeremy Hermida, Scott Olsen, Josh Johnson) 3. Giants (Matt Cain) 4. Dodgers (Russ Martin, Jonathan Broxton, James Loney) 5. Mets (Kazmir and Lindstrom - both on other clubs whoops) Bottom: 1. Cubs 2. Mariners 3. Astros 4. D-Backs 5. Rangers If you're interested in this sort of thing and have insider it's definitely worth reading.
