Or it could be a good film and possibly better than the flawed film that came out in 83. I mean that didn't become popular until it hit VHS IIRC. Maybe the older people on here could speak on that. Also, I don't know if it's remake. All three films would just share the same name.

2017 Non-Event General MMA Talk Thread

MW title update: Bisping might be injured so Romero vs. Whittaker for the interim belt might happen this summer. Dana says they want GSP back down at 170 to fight whoever is champ, but I dunno if Bisping is gonna give up easily on that fight. Moreover, they would need to convince not to forego the Maia fight to fight GSP. Men's BW title fight update: Garbrandt vs. Dillashaw is still on for the time being. However, the UFC and Dillashaw is willing to do Mighty Mouse vs. Dillashaw at 125 for the title on a PPV card in Seattle if Cody can't go. -
IMO I put it eighth because I felt Jenkins would turn in at least a half decent movie all while some of the critics would go BLARGH BLARGH DC UNIVERSE BLARGH BLARGH. So around 70-75% on Rotten Tomatoes. If the reviews are extremely positive, I feel the box office could be something crazy.

Rimz is cool. I still text back and forth with him about New Japan and how disappointing Auburn's football program is.

Yes, I would not want to miss out on folks not posting when Golden State wins by like 30+, the subsequent passive aggressive bitching about said GS blowout, and the inevitable three or four posts saying LeBron is the best player in NBA. I would hate to lose out on that riveting conversation. That's premium content you wouldn't be able to find on any other NBA subforum.

I find you offensive so we're about even. Who gives a flying shit about these narratives about what constitutes deals and trades that have integrity? There are teams who made "deals" and "trades" who had to compete with Cleveland and Golden State this year, and they all got balled the fuck up like old homework in the playoffs. I don't give a damn who is friends or not. They are not on my Facebook timeline. These are only things neckbeards who get angry and call into local sports shows because their favorite star stepped out on them care about. In this case, people who don't like that the Warriors are putting their scrotums on the rest of the Western Conference's shoulders on their way to facing the Cavs again for another entertaining NBA finals. Yeah, the obvious two best teams are making into the Finals? Yeah, I wanna see that.

In the same universe where a person with an obvious development disability like yourself fails to recall what he said.

Also, you guys don't determine who can jump from a team or not and at what age. The people with the gifts and talents do that when they have a chance to. He had been with SEA/OKC for what....eight seasons? Around that. People need to get over that it isn't the 80s and 90s anymore. The players have way more control over their careers.

I agree but I think people are stuck on the fast food worker part. You can literally replace Arby's with any minimum wage job that someone between the age of 18 and 23 works. My point was his takes are all from the typical person who populates sports talk radio lines and rant about how the dude who left their team is a sellout, is a coward, and will never win elsewhere. I mean he even pre-faced it with "I don't hate the Warriors BUT" which everyone does when they're about go into hater mode. I mean I know this is anti-GSW land but it doesn't make all those "points" less ridiculous. Fucking Sam Presti had three MVPs on one team for several years, and he is complaining about super teams when Durant left a "super team" to play on another "super team" basically (Curry, Klay, and Draymond were all drafted by Golden State unless I'm losing my mind). I mean he even did some good ole revisionist history that KG didn't want to play with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

I see Legendary took their name off the Monsters universe. Legendary really hasn't made a dent with Universal like they originally thought. Other than Jurassic World and SoC, I haven't really felt like they put out projects that made the switch from WB to Universal worthwhile. Their one successful film this year was with Warner Bros.

You tell 'em, girl. Wait...are y'all fucking? Personally, I don't want to come between you two and the special, intimate relationship that has been developed.

I think you convinced me over the internet.

He left his own team Eliminated OKC from contention Ran to 73 win team Ok, Niners is the dude who calls into random sports talk radio shows during his shift at Arby's when he is suppose to be taking out the trash.

...If you're preaching about protecting team, I'm pretty sure talking about the play itself is the exact opposite of protecting the team. If it's one surefire thing that will send a team into panic mode, it's letting them know indirectly that they have no chance in hell without their clear team MVP. Other than Simmons, every other major player on the team played like they knew what was up. Even Pop said after GM 2 they didn't play like they believed. Yeah, motherfucker because you let it be known that the rest of team couldn't carry Kawhi's jockstrap. Instead of just saying they couldn't dwell too much on Kawhi and the team needed to regroup so they could focus on splitting the games in Oracle, he showed his ass and the team played like an eight seed instead of a two seed. For a man who has an elite championship pedigree, he should know not to wear his heart on his sleeves at the most inopportune time. If you start panicking as a head coach, the team you're coaching is going to follow suit.
-
Yeah, except it was obvious the league wasn't going to punish Zaza in any shape or form and Golden State was going to ream them something fierce in Game 2 (and probably the rest of the series) by any margin they wanted. The officials didn't call game 2 any differently. He didn't help them at all. He just made himself like a hypocritical asshole who knows his team now has no chance now and is super bitter.
-
Except nobody is asking him to get into a time machine and criticize Bruce Bowen. Also, I doubt anything regarding the truth is going to adversely affect the team. Unless Kawhi Leonard's ankles consist of cells powered by Pop being a bullshit artist, then it's not going to hurt them that bad. Yes, a group of tall, strong young virile men who can fly through the air like gazelles need the protection of a constantly cranky, ornery old white man. It's practically Blue Chips IRL. They were losing the game by 40 the other night so apparently he wasn't protecting them very well.
-
You should probably shut up on this matter since you decided to repurpose the definition of hypocrisy for utter bullshit. Even you knew it didn't make any sense. Therefore, nobody is gonna take your word on the duties of a NBA coach. "Come on guys, Gregg Popovich isn't being a hypocritical asshole....he is just being willfully ignorant. Clear difference here."

2017 Non-Event General MMA Talk Thread
Elsalvajeloco replied to Elsalvajeloco's topic in BOXING & MMA
It isn't as intriguing as it once was because now most guys don't give their fight night weight anymore, but HBO doing that for the boxing bouts was always great because someone like Lampley was able to provide context and another narrative. If they want to help the commentary, that would be a great tool because there is only so much hyperbole and so many superlatives Joe Rogan can use to say someone is big for their weight class. Why not give them evidence to prove their case? Brian Stann already goes above and beyond so why not allow him to throw a little bit extra in there? -

Except they don't want to deal with having more flyweight divisions than welterweight divisions. When you know it takes at least 3 or 4 years to get something popping, you are not going to invest in something unless there is a real endgame. If there is another Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey in those new divisions in a Cage Warriors type promotion, then they will invest in doing that. For 15 years, Zuffa profited off of letting other promotions do their dirty work in terms of developing fighters. Therefore, the better alternative is what they've been doing and that's why they became a 4 billion dollar company. I think adding a women's flyweight division and maybe women's atomweight is kinda the ceiling. You would have enough titles and enough weight classes for the women for all your events. The thing about interim titles is you can get rid of them at any time and/or unify them. For real belts, you can't do that even if the person carrying the belt is doing 135k buyrates and sub 1 million avg viewer cards. If Zuffa didn't want to do this, then WME-IMG definitely doesn't want to do it especially anytime in the near future. They want big fights ASAP and not to be committed to long term investments that might not even pay off. -

Well, it is his shot to lose. No other fighter makes sense. It just comes down to if the UFC can make that fight. Neither Woodley or Bisping wants to lose what they feel is their angle to get a GSP fight. Plus, Woodley is still hunting to fight Nick Diaz. In this climate, it might hard to convey Maia and Romero respectively are your only options. -
2017 Non-Event General MMA Talk Thread
Elsalvajeloco replied to Elsalvajeloco's topic in BOXING & MMA
You have to because across any platform, commission, regulatory body, the fighters are the only consistent variable. It's not really an option. You're going to have promotions who don't give a damn about fighter health. Same with commissions or countries/places where there is no commission. In addition, those who claim to promote fighter health but over compensate and in return driving MMA out (ex. Ken Hayashi in Ontario, parts of Australia, etc.). The only consistent thing is fighters having to cut weight because there are weight classes. Moreover, you're relying on fighters not to mess up any new regulations you have in place. Everytime you make major changes as a commission, you run the risk of not getting major cards because of regulatory matters. California wants to be the standard bearer, but at the same time, no commission is trying to fuck up getting UFC money. Those fines won't make up for that. That's a completely different issue because the standards of testing drastically differ everywhere. Just because I pass a test the commission gave me doesn't mean I'm clean. However, I'm clean until someone accuses me of doing something or rumors float around. There are people put on trial in the court of public opinion before they ever fail a test. However, you have to make weight for any bout contested within specific, defined weight classes. In addition, you might be doing it yourself or need the assistance of several people in your camp. There is no exact science other than keeping your weight at a manageable level. However, the word "manageable" seems to have several definitions for every fighter, camp, or nutritionist/dietitian. Thus, the need for transparency as I was talking about because the endgame is always making money. The commission doesn't want to lose money. The org doesn't want to lose money. The fighters don't want to lose money. Therefore, educating fighters on what they could do the improve the weight cutting process to supplement any new policies put in place is desperately needed. Otherwise, you just have another failed attempt to curb drastic weight cutting. They want legitimate depth in every division. Even with 600+ fighters on the roster, they still have some very top heavy divisions. If they had more actual money draws spread over several weight classes, they would've probably serious experimented with these weight classes before the CSAC made the call. -

The problem is at some point you have to trust the fighters to handle this correctly or else you wouldn't need new policies in place. You would just let them continue to bungle the old ones. I think the biggest problem is transparency between the fighters and the promotions. The promotion can't be transparent with the commission if the fighters aren't transparent with them. The UFC tried to the "you can weigh no more than ______ on this day" , but they couldn't really enforce it because you would probably lose several fights on every card. On the other hand, it is ridiculous that have fighters train for several weeks and then decided on fight week or the day of weigh-ins they can't make weight. Even worse, they become seriously ill and the fight is off because they need an IV and/or go to the hospital. No matter how good the new policies sound on paper, the fighters have to be truthful to the promotion and also themselves as to what their bodies can handle. I'm guessing these weight classes can be used by any promotions that wants to use them. I am guessing they will be probably used in Cali's amateur circuit if they aren't being used already. However, I don't see the UFC making changes to their weight classes because the shift in the roster between the weight classes would be crazy. I think they might experiment with more catchweight bouts (using the classes that CA came up with), but I don't see them doing it full time unless they have to due to people missing weight. -

I've been wondering what the hell that was. I kid you not...the smaller Malco theater in my area has three auditoriums for one in Malayalam, one in Tamil, and one in Telugu.
