QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) Was Kimbo offered to be in that tournament? I'm starting to think there wasnt a market for him in Japan or he would be over there right now. I think TUF has run its course. The first few seasons were good but now its just a mess. Mostly average fighters who get drunk and embarrass themselves. There might be a very good fighter that comes thru once in awhile. Mac Danzig ran right thru the TUF cast and he'll be lucky to ever get to "gatekeeper" status. the quality of fighters isn't as good, I'll grant you that, but I'm entertained by it and it's probably necessary so people recognize some of the fighters on the Spike cards.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) yeah I never understand when people say they hate Ferrell. Sometimes he just says one word and I wanna pee my pants with laughing so hard. But there seem to be alot of people that hate him and think he is the complete opposite of funny. I don't hate him, he can be and is often funny, I just prefer many other comedians over him. Same thing as Pearl Jam, it would be ignorant to ignore the impact they've had on music over the last 15+ years, just other bands I prefer.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) Wow, those are two awesome things you dont like there. A titan of Comedy and an all time great rock band. lol, disagree on both points with you, but I'm sure there's stuff you don't like that I love and consider legendary... comedy and music are two extremely personal point of view fields.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) What a joke. TUF is already a POS show but this is just comical. I dont think Kimbo is giving up much actually from Strikeforce. Strikeforce already told Kimbo he would have to work his way up. Shoot, Strikeforce is going to have Roger Gracie start in their Challenger Series promotion so I doubt they were giving Kimbo that much. maybe strikeforce, but i believe the gate and TV ratings for the freak show "super hulk" tournament were good, so Kimbo would have had a good market there. I completely disagree with you about TUF.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:21 AM) Just saw that. I have to say, Kimbo has earned serious respect for this. There's no telling how many guaranteed G's the guy gave up from Strikeforce or a Japanese promotion in order to prove himself. Even if he doesn't win one fight I think he deserves his due, unless of course Dana is paying him out the ass for the appearance. Lashley has been rumored too but I highly doubt that one since he's got that Sapp freakshow fight lined up. basically my thought on it too. Kimbo doesn't seem to have any chin, so his window to make money in MMA is probably limited and he gave up some decent paydays in Japan or Strikeforce to attempt this, where I believe all these guys promised is a fight on the Finale, often untelevised. Another smart move by Zuffa, this should draw some more casual fans to their show.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) prob the minute TCQ went down, someone has to step up. I keep imagining this team with Slayer in the lineup. Imagine if Richard and Floyd keep this up for awhile. and/or Danks gets his stuff together a little more (he's gutted through his last 2 outings, but it seems he's on the verge of getting it really on track)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) Sorry, just noticed this. I found a reason to complain to Comcast (really had to search hard) and said I'd cancel and go with DirecTV if they didn't show me some sign that they appreciate me as a customer. I then demanded it for free, and sure enough they comped the whole damn season. yup, I've known people who have gotten full packages for like 1/2 price for a year because they threatned to bolt to either sat or cable

Kimbo Slice is a contestant on TUF season 10... mmaweekly.com has it as does pretty much every other mma site

it was a fine start, the real test will come when he gets into a routine. To be fair I am not a big fan of Ferrell or Pearl Jam, so his guests didn't do anything for me, but I'm a Conan fan and will give it a chance in the new timeslot

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) I didn't know they kicked Stryker off Loveline, which was a smart move. Olivia Munn co-hosted all of last week and hear a couple of shows and she was good. Made it feel closer to Carolla like. No funny rants, but the mood and tone of the show. She was open with her experiences when you got the feeling Stryker never even touched a boob before. That was one of the biggest drop-offs I could ever imagine. I listened to Loveline with Adam and Dr. Drew for as long as it was on in Chicago and it was always good, but for the last 2-3 years Adam was on it was priceless, some of the best entertainment that was available and then Stryker was terrible. They teased that they might have DAG or McHale or even Steve-O as the new co-host then it was Stryker and it went away in Chicago for awhile, I believe Dr. Drew's popularity with the rehab show brought it back.

Can you just buy these for individual games? I thought they had to be bought for the season

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 04:38 PM) Defensive replacement? Since when? Ozzie has been incredibly reluctant to use BA late in games, I did a break down last year that showed he almost NEVER brought BA into close games as a late inning defensive replacement. it was evident early in the year before Wise got hurt and he was the full time CFer... there were close games where in the 8th and 9th Wise was still in there while BA was rotting on the bench.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templa...77&zoneid=2 Looks like they couldn't work out the weight issue for Belfort and Mousasi so he will be fighting Babalu at 205

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) I thought I read the death penalty was already off the table for Casey Anthony? I thought she provided some info in exchange for no DP it was, but a few weeks ago the prosecution said they will now seek it.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 09:54 AM) Don't feel too bad. He'll write a tell-all book about his time with the Bat$hit Crazy Anthony Family some time in the future and he'll be set. It's a she, Andrea Lyon. She's a very dedicated opponent of the death penalty.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 31, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) BBTN is going to focus on Greinke's bad outing, not the suddenly resurgent white sox O. no, Wang pitched OK for the NYY today out of the pen, so there will be at least 45 minutes of breaking that outing down.

Good post! Hopefully some of us will have to do a Fields' one soon. He's been really impressive, and as you point out, his stuff looks good. Gavin's stuff has looked better, MB has been good all year and Danks is up and down, hopefully all 4 can get rolling and the Sox can make some more noise

QUOTE (Felix @ May 30, 2009 -> 08:56 AM) I wish more Sox fans had this opinion. So far the AL Central is about as ugly as everyone predicted it would be. It's amazing to think that despite how awful the Sox have played, we're still only 4 games back in the division. Of course, the same can be said for the Twins, who's starting pitching has been awful so far yet they are just 3.5 back. That's not going to stick around for the rest of the season, especially if Swarzak finds himself in the rotation for good after a couple of solid starts. Yeah, but as I pointed out earlier they still are terrible on the road and have played 8 more home games than the Tigers and White Sox

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ May 30, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) I thought his was depression as well? Yeah, I remember that as depression, they don't give details, but it sounded like he got real bad

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ May 26, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) There will be none of that Kennedy bashing around here. Vince disagrees... he gone! http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/9470/

good win, guarantees at worse a 3-3 road trip and hopefully better. Richard with another solid outing.

Khalil Greene on DL due to anxiety... before Willis was this used before?

and one of my old law school professors is Casey Anthony's new defense attorney.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 29, 2009 -> 04:47 PM) Little over an hour until the major league debut of Matt Wieters, I'm oddly excited for this occasion. Rain in Baltimore... the only thing that can stop Wieters is God
