Rock is amazing and all, but he strikes me as someone who could be a way better actor than he is.
If some reviews are to be believed, Rock showed range in Pain & Gain. That he really developed his character into something tangible. I have it on my to-watch list, so I'll see.
Maybe because it is not the usual cast of characters (Wahlberg will be once they make 16 more Transformers movies), but P&G is my favorite Bay film. I haven't seen The Rock since high school and Transformers bores me to tears. Some of the lines in the Bad Boys series are groan inducing (ex. “uh-oh it's the nigras!”). Dwayne and Anthony Mackie played off each other tremendously well.
He was okay in Empire State but he was just playing his F&F role turned down 20 notches. Minus being dipped in a vat of baby oil prior to every scene as well.

We can't work as a team, Bad Boys style? You can be Martin Lawrence.
I was watching Bad Boys II a few days ago. There is a bad editing mistake in the scene with same camera trick above where they shoot up the Rastas. The one Rasta guy Will Smith shot dead is visibly still breathing. The fucker doesn't even try to hold his breath. I think he confused a nap with death.

I kind of wish when FuelTV and Speed retooled that they would've done it slightly different. Do Fox Sports 1 basically how it is now but without UFC airing on it then do do Fox Fight Network instead of FS2 with all of their UFC content and airing of TUF seasons. Maybe you could throw in some boxing also to fill some of the air time.
The problem is you need a stopgap. The reason why Golden Boy is able to do boxing shows on FS1 now is because they don't do any GBP events on Friday Night Fights. They stopped doing Solo Boxeo and UStream cards too. Showtime doesn't really do as many ShoBox cards. They were also banned from HBO. 75%-90% of the boxing events on Showtime and Showtime Extreme are Golden Boy/Mayweather Promotions fights. Showtime's budget is only so big. Thus, you can have events on FS1 that don't do any ratings. The only successful boxing show on FS1 was the Ortiz fight a couple weeks ago. Both GBP and Zuffa want to televise their content to biggest audience possible. Right now, FS2 isn't an option for live events.

The thing with FS1 is that even though we all rag on their lack of viewers, the UFC still pulls in solid enough numbers in comparison to everything else. Last week, with FS1 hyping up the shit out of the Super Bowl and its coverage all week, the top program was...the UFC 168 prelims. Even that shitass UFN card last month from Georgia outdrew everything else on the network that week, and the prelims finished in the top ten. The UFC is in kind of a tough position - if they didn't add more shows, they'd either be screwing over Fox or Fight Pass. So....add more shows, attempt to appease their corporate overloads and their personal wallets, and hope for the best.
Pretty much. Both the UFC and WWE wanted their own networks and had to settle for the online route. However, WWE took a more drastic measure by undercutting their PPV distributors. The UFC has the inverse of the WWE problem. FS1 would be the UFC network if they didn't have the rights to college basketball and football.

I know it's probably because they have other programming on FS1 during this time of year, but the UFC should have been putting more live fights on Fight Pass like this card. It's weird as hell putting just one or two on there per card during the trial period. That's been my biggest gripe with it so far. By the time I actually sign in, get redirected to the front page, and then go to the live event page, the one fight is already at the end of round one if not over already.

Bob Barker tried to fuck every Price is Right girl and every girl behind the camera as well.

She was never appealing. The oldest sister, as plain as she was, was way more appealing. Vanessa takes the crown though, mic drop.
She was always weird looking to me. Her daughter was like 20x hotter in the First Class movie than she ever was.at that age. Zoe has a massive forehead but she knows how to cover it up well.

Why don't they just bring back everybody from The Cosby Show? It's not like Lisa Bonet is too busy.
There is a reason why she hasn't been too busy over the last 20+ years. She managed to get axed from The Cosby Show twice and got kicked off the spinoff show that was meant for her initially.

Brazil is actually three hours ahead of EST. That's why you had the whole noise ordinance problem. There is a certain decibel level permitted between 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. UFC events in Brazil end at 2:30 a.m.

Looks like Will Smith said fuck it and isn't doing Independence Day 2. Michael B. Jordan may take his place.

We've already established that innocent until proven guilty doesn't exist inside Zuffa. Hell, I doubt it exists within any sports organization. It's how bad did you fuck up compared to your actual worth and that's definitely a sliding scale from franchise to franchise. You have people like Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson who are not with a team on Sundays because they're locker room trouble, but franchises find room for guys with deep criminal records as their own rehab projects. Shit ain't fair. But it's not designed to be fair.
That's why the whole Rousey snapping argument was silly to begin with. Even though she is a real asset, the line has been firmly established. Culinary Union bullshit aside, you have to leave yourself some breathing room. And there is none for Thiago Silva. There is very little ambiguous about the situation outside of how messed up the Silva marriage was. That's not enough to save his UFC career.

Unless Bellator starts doing fights in the state pen like boxing did with Rahway in the 70s and 80s, Thiago Silva will be a free agent for the time being.

John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn now
UFC rep just issued this statement: "The UFC has terminated the contract of Thiago Silva, effective immediately."

You can read more about the situation prior to the bond hearing (w/ video after the arrest): http://www.tmz.com/2014/02/07/ucf-star-thiago-silva-arrested-for-attempted-muder

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani now
RT @jeffwagenheim: No attempted murder charge for Thiago Silva, but he remains in jail on aggravated assault and other charges. No bond.
His bonds totaled $2.5 million, but he was considered a flight risk (meaning the bonds were negated) even though I doubt he would have fought anyway. He left some very threatening text messages about hiring someone to kill his wife and move in his girlfriend in their townhouse. Also, he threatened to personally kill her in the texts. She claims he once held a gun in her mouth and tried to kill her. He only beat the attempted murder charge on his wife because the judge was like "hey, you had several chances to kill her but you didn't". So, all in all, we won't be seeing Thiago Silva in the UFC anymore.

Thaysa Silva does have an ample backside. Just saying.

Speaking of people went to jail....
Report: UFC veteran Thiago Silva apprehended by Florida police http://dlvr.it/4svbc8 via @MMAjunkie
He was involved in an armed standoff.

Rampage was the other guy I was thinking of. And Gina.
Rampage is a different thing all together. Not to totally agree with Dana, but Rampage thinks he is worth more than what he is. Especially if you saw how he handled the Reebok thing.
Gina got beat viciously into movies and TV, and she has 1/8th of the competitive knack Ronda has. This lady blew up to 160+ pounds in between fights. Ronda stays in the gym even when she isn't training. Ronda likes fighting and clearly loves the attention from it. IMO, she knows where her bread is buttered.

Facebook really kills the quality of photos. I look so grainy...
Tony Rock posts here and that's kinda cool.

Because it never seems to go well when fighters get a ton of shit on their plate and are distracted by movies.
I don't know really because we haven't seen it at this level in MMA. I mean people always bring up Lennox Lewis and Antonio Tarver for boxing but those guys were old as shit and only did one movie. Plus, Randy Couture was already kinda checked out. Cung Le as well.
Rousey has a lot of things in her favor. The only drawback is the bigger role, the bigger requirement. Principal photography tends to fall into the range of 2-6 months. Fortunately, only the really big projects go past 3 1/2 or four months (ex. Iron Man 3 which took forever to finish because RDJ got hurt) . If she gets booked in a big superhero movie, then it may be a big distraction because preparing for the role and the actual production can take more than six months. Plus, you add in any reshoots that need to be done and possible delays. If she does projects where she is only there for a month or two max, then it won't be a real problem.

If anyone needed that Thursday slate of NFL games, it was Fox Sports 1 for visibility reasons. People (including myself) were watching some of the lame games from this past season. I can't imagine the boost it would give the UFC to have their shows advertised for those weeks instead of just seasonal Fox shows. TUF is another story though.
