    I just don't know about Big Baby Usman. I just see higher level strikers taking advantage of some clear bad habits. He's got a really bad head dip that will eventually lead to the same kind of KO that his brother got against Edwards. Collier was picking up on it but was going for a knee instead, which he probably was training as a defense for the wrestling.

    Been a while since I've seen a a DQ for a back of the head strike. Malkoun just gave one away.

    I just saw Bryce Mitchell's videos with Anthony Smith and Bisping, and right now, I don't know how to feel about living in the same state as Bryce Mitchell.

    I couldn't sit through all of it. It's just so cringey. Like "Hey man, let's have a scientific debate so I can prove to you that the earth is flat and shrouded by veils held in place by God's angels."

    Motherfucker I have already spent so much money

    Well, it's just the flash pre-order for the Black Friday sale.... you can still just put it off until Thanksgiving. Either way they're coming for that pay check.

    Apparently one of the releases is a 10 movie boxset. Quote from the newsletter:

    This will include our mammoth 10-film box set, which we can assure you will be our most ambitious collection EVER (the first of its kind in the history of home video) and well worth the wait.

    WHAT DOES THAT MEEAEEAN~?

    That said, what the fuck are the Bears even trying to do on offense? They aren't calling designed runs for Fields, they aren't running any option routes to give Fields easy reads. They can't seem to block anything more exotic than a four defensive lineman rush. 

    Like it might very well be true that Fields absolutely isn't the guy (it certainly looks that way) but it feels like they are literally running an offense designed to put him in the positions he's the worst at.

    I don't think we've had a consistent offensive identity since Jay Cutler was handing it off to Matt Forte and throwing to Brandon Marshall. It may not have always been succesful but it looked like football. And we brought in offense oriented coaches and they're either out of their minds or hindered by bad players that they can't coach up.

    Last two weeks nothing makes sense. It just feels like they're guessing. I mean Chase Claypool said there were times where he didn't know if they were running a pass or a rush play. Moose on FOX'S commentary pointed out one time that Cole Kmet and DJ Moore ran the same route by mistake. You see and hear shit like that and it makes one wonder if Fields' indecisiveness isn't unjustified. He might call a play and his personnel won't be where he thinks they'll be. How are we this unprepared?

    Why yes... that WAS the Jaws theme you heard emanating from Soldier Field...

    The "Alan Williams situation" he refers to is that Chicago's DC is on leave from the team, is possibly AWOL, and something may be up that will ensure he never returns...

    That's terribly misleading to report that he just said "Coaching." He said a lot more than that in the interview, and mentioned that the coaches are doing their job, but he is thinking too much about all the data they're giving him during the game.

    I think earlier in the year when there was another judge controversy, it was discussed how there are some judges who sometimes get caught in the narratives. I actually believe that giving Grasso a 10-8 was a judge avoiding upsetting the narrative of the night. I don't think it's some grand conspiracy, I just think he got it wrong. He's only human after all. I don't think Shevchenko was crazy saying what she said. It's a genuine possibility.

    Cruz and Cormier both mentioned that the only way he could justify a 10-8 was because it looked like it was close to a finish.

    The problem with that was Grasso almost finished it in the 2nd. And you could also say that about the round where Valentina almost choked Alexa out in the 3rd. It's just a terribly inconsistent scorecard, that looks like it was written by a person who wanted to avoid any responsibility.

    All that being said...

    One judge scored it 3-2, for Grasso, and I actually think that's fine too. To me it's who won Round 4, and depending on what you value - you can go either way.

    So maybe a draw is the right result, but I don't think how we got there was right. It felt like bullshit. And I think the ladies deserved something better because they put on a great fight.

    Also Noche Night (lo sé, I know) was a pretty awesome idea, and I can't believe they only now thought to do it.
