Holy shit.

Pierre Garcon wasn't going to catch that. He is Pierre Garcon.

Yeah, I'm going to take a wild guess and say the Cowboys are better than the Rams.

And before I forget, Renan Barao is a bad, bad dude (/Stephen A. Smith mode off).
It is insane how Renan is like the champ that doesn't exist online. In P4P discussions, he is never even brought up despite being on a 493 fight win streak.
That Faber win looks so much better now that Faber is handling dudes.

It'll be interesting how each camp makes changes after watching tape because there were several opportunities left on the table. Jon should have aimed to the midsection more often on Gustafsson than he did. It would have made the shots to the head more lethal and slowed him down faster. As for Gustafsson, he spent too much time and energy circling to get away from Jon and get his back off the cage. You can't keep that up forever when you're a big guy. In addition, he kept his head in too tight to Jon's body when he was clinched up with him. He was basically asking to get hit with elbows because his head had no place to go. He did good with the uppercuts half the time, but he got hit with too many elbows that were telegraphed for my liking. If you don't get the takedown, you need to have the awareness to seperate immediately.
As far as the judging and fan scoring goes, I think part of it is that we've never really seen Jones get hit with appreciable offense past one round. The late Emanuel Steward use to talk about comparative rounds all the time in boxing. I think a lot of people's judgment is skewed by thinking that if Jon isn't dominant, then he lost the round. At no point did I feel that Jon was out of the fight or Gustafsson had it sown up. But it was clear there were swing rounds in the fight either guy could have grabbed.

More people could have saw this and been super pumped for the rematch if they didn't market Gustafsson like he was Gan McGee. But hey, I don't make the decisions.

It should be noted that I play in a PPR league. I am swayed to go with Burleson and Brown.

Getting a third or fourth place schedule often helps. Also it helps if you get matched with a crappy division in inter-conference play, like the NFC east this year.Football is the one sport where you can go from great team to bad team or vice versa in one season faster then any other sport. The KC Chiefs were 2-14 last year but now with a new coach and QB they're suddenly 3-0 to start the next season. The Ravens won the Super Bowl last year but now after losing a bunch of free agents go 0-2 to start the next season.
I have more confidence that Dallas could get at least five division wins (2 against the Skins and 2 against Philly w/ 1 already) than any year since McNabb left the Eagles. The thing is it all hinges on RG3 still sucking and Vick being a sitting target. McCoy is going to have his good games against Dallas and Romo is probably going to picked by Cary Williams or something, but Ware and Spencer (if he gets healthy) might maul whatever is left of Michael Vick. But if they suck coming off the Week 11 bye and shit the bed in weeks 12-15, all bets are off regardless. Then it's two teams (New York and Dallas) figuring out which one goes 8-8 and which one ends up 9-7 to win the division like Niners Fan basically mentioned.

This is every Ridley Scott alien movie and Mission to Mars rolled up into one copycat film.

I think I already know the answer, but I need some confirmation. My options for my WR3 and W/R: Nate Burleson (vs. WAS), Robert Woods (vs. NYJ), Marlon Brown (vs. HOU). Who should be the odd man out?
Edit: I forgot about Pierre Thomas.

Looking at elsalvajeloco's signature with the Ronda Rousey GIF, what caused Ronda Rousey to cry? Ta.
IIRC because one of her fighters lost.

The butthurt is strong in this one.
Don't talk about Shaun like that.

I'd say St. Louis, Arizona, Chicago, Detroit, and Minnesota all have a case, to me, of being a team that would win the East if they were in it.
The problem is they don't fucking play in the NFC East.

Five is not eight
Dallas lost to a team that is now 3-0 with a serviceable defense after leading for a good portion of the game. Spots 7-8 would belong to STL, DAL, or ARZ. I think the Lions would have been an easy choice for either of those spots before the loss to the Arizona (who lost to St. Louis). Even though I think the Lions give Dallas a pretty rough game, the Cowboys should be the favorite to beat the Rams (and they are). It's pretty damn likely that whole NFC middle tier could shuffle and reshuffle dramatically over the next few weeks anyway.

I legitimately think no team in the NFC East is in the top 8 of the NFC.The Cowboys could honestly win the division this year. And it's not like they've done anything to suggest they are actually improving, really.
Yeah, no.

Since I started this thread, I choose breakfast talk over TWD talk. IT IS DECIDED!

I'm mad that I missed that era of heavyweight boxing. RIP Champ

People thought the middleweight division would be better off with Nate Marquardt as champ. A title changing hands doesn't do a lot for the shortcomings of a division. It doesn't change that fact that many lower level promotions still aren't running flyweight fights at pace to produce quality talent. The hope was a few years ago that places like Shooto (and Shooto Brazil by proxy) and Tachi Palace would churn out guys to be at the top. But it turns out that many guys who had several flyweight fights already weren't that good (ex. Jussier Formiga, Urushitani). Because of that, the guys who aren't burning down the house at bantamweight are going to smash the gatekeepers to earn their way into the top ten. If Scott Jorgensen ran all over Ian McCall to earn a title shot, are you excited to see him fight Benavidez (or DJ)? A Benavidez vs. Jorgensen co-main ain't selling no PPVs if a legit headlining fight fell out. Hell, that fight might do average WEC Versus numbers on Fox Sports 1 as a main event.

List of everything I saw is here, plus I got a last-minute ticket to Heart Of A Lion.
I just watched the trailer for the movie Unbeatable. It was not good until the very end when the guy does the Showtime Kick. That redeemed it.

Did you get a chance to see Devil's Knot? From what I've heard, it wasn't good. That may be why it doesn't have a distributor.

This might halt some of your interest in The Fifth Estate.

(A version of the script is above that.)
In addition, it's currently at 40% (20 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

there was a local MMA show here this weekend. i got there in time to see the 2 main events (was actually going for the after-show concert, but was glad i got to see as much as i did). first went to a 5-round decision and was fairly uneventful. the 2nd ended in the first after an armbar from the guard.
after the main event, i heard numerous people complaining that they only threw a couple punches and then "started hugging on the ground". one person actually was arguing that the person on top won, because the other guy was "just laying on the ground". this was someone that PAID to go to the show. made me shake my head, so i had to share.
You might hear that at a UFC event as well.

And it's Thomson.

Lack of a quality marketing campaign for Gustafsson. You would think he would get more than the Gan McGee treatment no matter how small his chances were.

Everyday I thank baby Jesus the Cowboys didn't hire Ron Rivera five years ago.
