  1. There's a middle ground here. But it's still valid that they don't compensate their fighters a fair percentage of their profit. The fact remains that you don't know how much money they are making as a company on these shows and you don't know the amount they're paying their fighters. The reason you don't know is because they don't want everyone to see how little the fighter pay is in relation to what they bring in.
  2. So I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Nate will not only win this fight but win it convincingly. I think that people are getting too far ahead of themselves with all the Lawler talk. Connor is the featherweight champion. He beat Mendes on not the greatest circumstances for Mendes and he caught Aldo with a punch. I'm not completely sold that he'd beat Dos Anjos and I'm not even sold that he'd beat Aldo in a rematch. I think him going up to 170 is a lot to ask and still expect success. I don't have a problem with throwing the Mendes fight out of consideration when looking at how good Conor is because I don't think Mendes was in the right shape for that fight. So now you're at the question of is Conor better than Aldo or did he just catch him with a punch? I don't know the answer to that. Of course if it goes the other way I'm just going to say I was drunk when I posted this.
  3. The fuck are they doing with Ambrose? This shit makes no sense. You already have a confirmed match with him and Lesnar, now you have him wrestling HHH for the title before mania, and on top of that now you have some weird build with him and Owens for the IC title? What the fucking fuck? Clearly he's one of the top guys in the company- maybe THE top guy if you have him in three different angles at once. They should keep him out of the IC picture. Do the Lesnar match and just slow build him up to summer slam and put the belt on him there.
  4. He's a total question mark which is why the franchise tag is the best decision. Worst case/best case for slurs is he plays lights out this year and now they have to open the checkbook. I doubt he has a statistically better season than last because I doubt their level of competition will be as low.
  5. The Cubs are obviously stacked to the brim. That said, anything short of winning the World Series is deemed a failure for this team right?
  6. The upside far outweighs the downside of losing. Crazy to turn that fight down. You win that fight and it's a career changer. You lose and you really haven't lost anything. Which is why if I was McGregor I'd absolutely have no interest in it. He takes a gigantic hit if he loses but gains little if he wins. It's not a huge deal if he loses to the champ.
  7. If he has the opportunity to take the fight he should take the fight. It's going to do more for his career than not fighting McGregor. But nothing wrong with trying to squeeze extra dollars if that's what he's doing. If I were McGregor I would absolutely not be interested in doing anything short of a title fight with RDA.
  8. Nate's guys are saying no go, he can't make 155 on two weeks notice. Might be posturing for money, hard to tell.
  9. Saw an interesting sight today. Going to dinner with my family- wife in the passenger seat and my two kids in the back seat 4 and 2yrs old. Pulled up to an intersection and was the first car at a red light. Across the intersection from me were three cars in the straight lane at their red light. The second car was a newer model Camaro and the third was a lifted newer model F150. The guy in the F150 leans out of his window and screams something at the Camaro guy angrily and the Camaro driver replies with a flip of the bird. Big truck guy slings his door open and storms out towards the Camaro. This guy is quite large. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere around 6'3"-6'5" and 275-300lbs. Camaro guy was already rolling his window up and Big truck guy tries to open his door while screaming at the guy and then hauls off and punches the hell out of the window. Somehow the window doesn't break- probably lucky that it wasn't rolled all the way up- and when it doesn't break he grabs the top of the window with his hands and starts yanking the window out back and forth trying to break it off like a damn gorilla pulling on a cage door. He tries again to open the door at the handle and steps back for a split second and two guys come up from behind and try to pull him back and the Camaro guy opens the door at this point. At about that time I got a green arrow to turn so I start turning and honking my horn at the guy. I keep turning and on the side street to the left happened to be two cop cars. My honking apparently got their attention and they put on the lights and went over there. The restaurant I was going to was pretty much right there on the left and I had to circle around a bit to find a parking spot and saw they had the guy on the ground. So what did I learn? Those fucking Camaro's have some sick ass side windows!
  10. That's probably a risk worth taking though- tagging him to see if he's for real. I think the odds are much higher that the Cousins hype-mobile comes back down to earth a bit than him performing at a level that would require him to be paid as one of the top QBs in the league.
  11. I don't see the Nats winning the NL East. The Mets were a second half team last year and they have the best pieces of that at the start of this season and had some good additions this offseason. As good as that rotation was last year, they could be even better this year.
  12. I don't think there's any chance they let him go this year. If they can't work a deal out they will for sure put the franchise tag on him. And they have to. There aren't really any better options for this year. I don't personally think he's an above average QB but clearly there is a chance that he is. Before he had his success this past season against shitty defenses and failed to beat a team over .500 all season he threw interceptions at a fucking rapid rate of speed. But still the possibility exists that he might have turned a corner and it wasn't just that he was playing against shitty teams. Giving him the tag isn't something that will financially hamstring the team to a point where they're screwed for seasons to come by doing it. Pay him the money and let the experiment play out. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the last experiment they tried.
  13. FWIW for sure I think the league was rooting for Peyton to win because he's their corporate speak proper in front of a camera face of the league quarterback and they can make a nice story out of it and on the flipside Cam Newton is a black guy who seemingly doesn't mind pissing people off, flashy, likes showmanship etc. I don't think it would have went as far as a shared agenda with refs but it makes it even more funny now that their golden boy has egg on his face and has been exposed as a sexual assaulting steroid using entitled piece of shit. Their nice cozy story isn't so fucking nice anymore.
  14. That's a bit out there. Even so, if there was an agenda, there didn't need to be. Carolina wasn't beating Denver that day no matter who you put in a ref uniform.
  15. Not only that, it was for boldenone. I didn't even know people were still taking that shit then I realized that's what he got popped for last time. What a dummy. He was playing good, going to be a free agent at 28yrs old... Threw tens of millions of dollars away.
  16. I didn't know stro and strobogo were the same but I guess that makes sense. I'm sure we will get along without them. The only ban that I hoped wouldn't be was FSW. Because he was hilarious. He just knew what buttons to push I suppose.
  17. Has anyone been able to locate stats on how often a player has received more than one personal foul penalty in a game the last few seasons? I'm having a hard time finding stats on it but just from memory it seems like something that doesn't happen very often.
  18. Right as it was going off air your could see someone coming out from the back. Who was it?
  19. What bothered me was intentional grounding. The nfl really needs to look at changing how they view it. On one occasion Cam was in the grasp and going down and just managed to get the ball out and it wasn't called. Multiple other times he was about to get sacked and threw it away where it didn't really look like he was outside the tackles, and one looked to maybe not get back to the line of scrimmage. Regardless, all of those cases are intentionally grounding the ball. If you're not trying to complete a pass and are just throwing the ball away to avoid a sack, that should be intentional grounding.
