  1. State Property is probably the worst non-MST3K/RiffTrax film I've seen and easily the worst thing associated with the Jay-Z brand. However, it deserves at least 5% because of the Cindy McPhearson reference on the Boondocks. It's only a legit, plausible crime/gangster film to an eight year old white girl living in the suburbs.

  2. I think simmons only cared about mma when brock was in ufc.

     

    When Carolla was on talking boxing (either him or Sal), he talks about MMA taking over boxing. This was months after Brock lost to Overeem IIRC when Pacquiao got robbed against Bradley. He is one of those guys who believes boxing is dying and raves about every big boxing fight. He doesn't know any better.

  3. I could've sworn he did at least a couple.

     

    Simmons probably isn't an MMA fan, because he tends to wear his loves on his sleeve and he's never talked about MMA. I'd bet it was just decided that MMA wasn't worth covering on Grantland. 

     

    Plus, you have to wonder about UFC being on Fox and how maybe ABC/ESPN/Grantland might not want to promote it.

     

    I don't think it's that since ESPN has boxing (there is a "World Heavyweight" title bout in primetime on main ESPN coming up), and Grantland has jackshit on boxing. Plus, Simmons talks boxing (Floyd, Pac, and Triple G at least) way more than MMA.

  4. I wasn't a LOTR/Hobbit fan until well after the LOTR run of movies was years over. Maybe all the way up to a few months before An Unexpected Journey. Games of Thrones, mainly because it's television, is WAY easier to follow that's it not funny. Plus, I don't like the added frustration of each movie leading into another. I hate it with the Hobbit and Hunger Games. Most of everything in Game of Thrones is resolved at the end of the season save for Dany's storyline obviously. Plus, the gory violence and grotesque amount of nudity is far from PG-13 fantasy.

  5. Rothwell testing positive saved Vera's ass. If he loses to someone who finally manages to piss clean, he may as well leave his gloves in the middle of the octagon.

  6. If this were heavyweight, Guillard would still be a top guy. But he's a gatekeeper now at best. You're not going to notice he's gone. He changes camps like people change clothes.
