Tyler wanted to throw down so bad there. His entire face was quivering w/ rage. I was loving it. Hopefully he doesn't have a broken nose, but even if he does he can just wear a badass noseguard for the rest of the season. I'm not sure what Billy Packer was looking at. That "block attempt" looked an awfully lot like a punch.

Sweet, sweet sweep of Duke by UNC this year. No matter what else happens, that makes this year a mild success. And they clinch the #1 seed in the ACC tournament w/ the win to boot. Nice.

Between Rampage/Chuck and Cro Cop/Randy... they certainly have some MONEY fights in the works. I can't believe that Dana is going to give Franklin and Hughes rematches so quickly but it sounds like a rematch for both is imminent. I think that the winner of Diego/Koscheck should get a shot at Silva before Franklin does. I'm not really sure who I'd slot in for a title shot at 170 before Hughes, though.

Randy's the champ again!

Ok... Lambert over Babalu: 2nd round KO Hughes over Lytle: Unanimous decision Franklin over Athlete: Domination Kampmann over McFedries: Arm triangle choke Randy vs. Sylvia is in the 5th now. Total domination by Randy until now. 40-36 Randy on probably all cards.

HOLY FUCK. I just went through the roof. C'MON RANDY!!

Certainly didn't expect The Athlete to be dominated so badly. Franklin looks like he's back.

Am I the only one watching this? That was a good first round of Lytle/Hughes. I was VERY impressed by Lytle.

Great, great opener. Thought Babalu was going to finish quick, but he ended up getting KTFO.

Fight order: Live Jason Lambert (204) vs. Renato Babalu Sobral (204) Rich Franklin (185) vs. Jason MacDonald (183.5) Drew McFedries (185) vs. Martin Kampmann (185.5) Matt Hughes (171) vs. Chris Lytle (169) Tim Sylvia (263) vs. Randy Couture (222.5)

I think it's hilarious that one of ESPN.com's top MLB stories right now is the fact that both Wood and Prior will be starting spring training. The fact that is news, let alone a top story, is something that I wouldn't have believed if you told me it in mid 2003. I still remember how horrified I was that the Marlins had to face Wood and Prior in games six and seven of the NLCS.

I want three upsets tonight, but I think the only realistic one is the Athlete. I'm looking forward to this one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Pickler got a boob job. I was watching it w/ some friends and most of them thought it was just the outfit that made her boobs look bigger. Wrong. I can't get into this season, so far. Last year I liked Chris as a singer and McPhee to look at. This year - so far I've got nothing. Lakisha and Melinda are good singers but both are ass ugly. It's tough.

You know - as a Marlins fan I probably respect Juan Pierre more than most... but that contract, wow. If I were a Dodger fan, I'd be furious about it. $11M a year for Pierre is just silly.

Keep in mind w/ Bard that the BA rankings are a mixture of stats and scout evaluations or potential. Bard still ranks high w/ the scouts and his potential is considered high. Or maybe I'm just defending him because he was a Tarheel... I'm not sure.

If it even makes the air - I can't see it lasting more than half a season.

The highlight for me, so far, has been seeing Chris Volstad w/ the big club. I used to collect baseball cards and when Volstad was drafted I went nuts buying up his rookie cards. I spent almost $2000 on a variety of them. A few months later I was able to flip them all for close to $6000 (when Chris was ranked high on the 2006 BA Top Prospects list). I feel like I just really want this guy to succeed and all. I still have an autographed baseball of his because I happened to end up talking to Chris' high school pitching coach one day. I sent him a ball and a few weeks later I got it backed autographed w/ Volstad's signature on it. I'm really hoping he makes it.

I've been watching the games. Heels look terrible. Bad shot selection, lack of motivation, poor decisions... you name it. I'm dying to know why Ty Lawson was benched for the first 10 minutes of the first half. Hopefully it will come out tomorrow.

I want to see it. Looks like a good way to blow an hour and a half.

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO...mily=MacBookPro The 17'. I got it w/ the student discount and tax free (it came from a governmental account)... so I got it for $2495 - but actually free. Another thing I love about Mac: I bought a double pronged firewire and 3 hours later my entire hard drive was transferred from my iMac to my new MacBook. When I turned it on for the first time it even had my desktop background and my Adium buddy list popped right up. Very cool. I'm putting my iMac G5 up on eBay Sunday, which will be tough for me. I love that computer. I've seen similar used sell for about $900 in slightly worse condition and I'm including a wireless keyboard and mighty mouse so hopefully it works out. Sweet deal all around though.

Released today. Dice-K number one and the top actual prospect is Alex Gordon of the Royals. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...res/263445.html

Josh Johnson, who had an outstanding rookie season for the Marlins last year, has nerve damage and could potentially be out for the season. Yikes.

I feel like that was an excellent response. Did anyone get the 2007 B-Pro? Haven't gotten around to getting it yet but will have to once I finish the books I have sitting in the queue.

Logan was interesting. And I can't believe the bomb actually went off. I was expecting a dud. I wonder if Assad is going to make it?

Fuck you, asshole. I don't like Nickleback.
