MATT ELAM DOESN'T FEAR YOUR MEGATRON

Forget Battlefield Earth. Travolta in the Pelham remake may be the single worst acting job by an individual I have ever seen. I feel that the Travolta from Pulp Fiction should be considered a totally different human being than the one from the last nineteen years.

Best performance by a bad actor would be an interesting discussion.
I'd vote for Denise Richards in Drop Dead Gorgeous. That woman has been flat out embarrassing in virtually everything she has ever done, but she's shockingly great here.
Since one of his movies was mentioned in Movie Comment Thread recently, how do you count people like Travolta who had a long career but have gotten progressively worse by the year?

Wait...he's producing/directing/and maybe starring in this new Sandman pitch?
I like JGL more than most at this site, but that's a lot of opportunities to mess things up.
I'm down for Sandman adaptation though.
I doubt he's directing it.

Here we go...again.
EXCLUSIVE: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is finalizing a deal to produce Sandman at Warner Bros with David Goyer, who pitched his treatment for the Neil Gaiman comic book classic. It has been rumored that Gordon-Levitt might star, and the deal he’s making attaches him as the protagonist. I’m told that in addition to that, he’s eyeing the project as a directing vehicle. Gordon-Levitt made his feature directorial debut on the well received Sundance pic Don Jon, but this would be a considerable step up in scope and scale. They will hire a writer shortly.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm incredibly honored to be working with David Goyer, Warner Bros, and @neilhimself on SANDMAN. #Prelude

Well, sports (football and basketball in particularly) have pretty much fucked the student athlete concept up. You play one year of college hoops or two years of college football, and you're hoping to get out of the hood. I mean the system was never much to begin with since someone like Gary Payton has admitted to having people do his work while he was in college. But the system chews you up and spits you out. Everyone can't be as articulate as Arian Foster, but still manage to be beat a system that kept him from being able to afford food in college. The choices are either to make it in the pros or work at a warehouse in your hometown. That's the options because I doubt these schools want to have these guys as coordinators or assistants. At least, the guys with "character issues".

Oh that reminds me
If you have an animated gif in your sig and you post a lot - more likely than not, I am going to get sick of it and delete it

Did anyone watch the latest 30 for 30? It was basically the story of Maurice Clarett, who I'm very interested in based on the fact that we are essentially from the exact same place. I never met him, but my cousin was his running back coach in high school and I had another cousin who was his teammate. I don't know if I've ever witnessed someone come off as incredibly intelligent as him while talking about his incredibly stupid actions. The fact that he is probably the only player ever to get suspended for an NCAA violation, except no one ever said what rule he violated is more than a little questionable to me. His downward spiral from being the workhorse, in every sense of the word, running back on the National Championship team to a horrible criminal is sad as hell to watch. If there was a way to go back in time to get him to not call the athletic director a liar, and he could have played the rest of his college career, is there any way he wouldn't have been a quality pro? (by the way, he was an absolute monster if you played NCAA football after that championship season, and if you uploaded his draft class on Madden he was even better.)
I haven't seen it yet but did see an interview with Clarett on ESPN's "First Take" show while I was laid up last week. He did come across as pretty intelligent but some of it was the "I'm trying to sound smarter with a big vocabulary than I really am" kind of thing. He honestly didn't have all that much to say in the interview.
As for him as a pro? I don't think he'd have been a superstar or even a star. He simply wasn't fast enough to be a great back in the NFL.
To be honest, the crew didn't have much to ask him. Also, it sounded like Maurice didn't want to give away the whole documentary. I think he was just overwhelmed by the moment and seemed to be on the verge of tears when he got on the set. That had to be the first time in a long time he has been on live television where he wasn't getting buried or his name being brought up and dragged through the mud. He was also on the UFC Road to the Octagon show that aired on Fox two weeks ago doing strength and conditioning with a fighter that part of Ohio. He came across well on that too.
If you want to talk trying to upgrade your vernacular, Plaxico on First Take the week or so before was a prime example. Then again, it isn't that hard to sound intelligent sitting next to man who firmly believes all football games should be played indoors.

And you have no argument for the first one either.

With bantamweight and featherweight, you can always make the "well, guy X won 3 or 4 fights and hasn't challenged for a belt yet" argument. With flyweight, there wasn't anyone except Lineker (who hasn't learned how to make weight yet). You can't even remotely try to challenge that.

Benavidez smashed everyone except for DJ. He earned his shot.

Is there anyone in MMA who flips the switch as hard as Faber does when a fighter is hurt? His instincts are so razor sharp and he swarms the instant there is blood in the water. It's awesome to watch.
The old Chute Boxe guys who are still around like Shogun, Wanderlei, and Anderson. But Faber's finishing ability is definitely up there.

As soon as the Dallas defense steps up, the offense kinda shuts down. Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.

The Packers have a more leaky defense than the Cowboys. SMDH

It sounds like that the UFC is getting rid of the Primetime shows because of low ratings. This would have been the best time to sneak two seperate shows in on Fox for both of the top fights for UFC 168.

And which one is that?

When was the last time a 10-7 was handed out?
Forrest Petz vs. Sam Morgan?

Decision-fest briefly interrupted by Urijah Faber.
