  1. I don't even know what to say. How did they let it get this bad? RIP Whitecaps. You will always be in my heart but I will not let you in my wallet anymore until you get your act together.
  2. Askren's not fighting Woodley. They're BFF's. “Me and Tyron aren’t fighting, it’s simple,” Askren told Luke Thomas on Monday’s edition ofThe MMA Hour. “We are not fighting. We are not fighting — no.” https://www.mmamania.com/2018/10/30/18040764/midnight-mania-askren-says-he-wont-fight-tyron-woodley-can-prove-himself-without-that Askren has always wanted GSP too....you were mentioning 25mins of wrestling? That said, I can see GSP using his jab vs both Khabib and Askren and try to keep it standing. Hopefully their wrestling would cancel each others out.
  3. Giddy Up. Report | Bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre in the works https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc/report-bout-between-khabib-nurmagomedov-and-georges-st-pierre-in-the-works/ If true, GSP seems to be getting exactly what he wants. He's going after cementing that GOAT status.
  4. I didn't need any reason to hate WWE anymore than I already do. I know they have no place being mentioned in an mma thread but I found this cool.. Its nice to see UFC take a stand against the lousy Saudi's A Tale of Two Promotions: WWE Double Downs On Saudi Arabia Deal While UFC Owners Exit Theirs http://www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/editorials/1013715-wwe-ufc-saudi-arabia-deals
  5. Never heard of it. But with a title like that, I'm guessing I should check it out. Edit: Just had a look, I can say that I think I will be checking that out. The subjects of the episodes alone have me super interested. Thank you.
  6. I may have mentioned this book a while back in this thread. I gave it to a few co-workers recently and they loved it. Once I get time I might read it again. Year Zero by Rob Reid Its Sci-fi in the vein of 'hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' with a lot of music references. I found it very funny. Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it’s a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on American pop songs ever since “Year Zero” (1977 to us), resulting in the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang and bankrupting the whole universe. https://www.amazon.ca/Year-Zero-Novel-Rob-Reid/dp/0345534514
  7. Haha, Invading Aliens! similar except for the actual threat. I'm into the Dark Forest, completely slowing my pace from the first book. It's such a good series that I want to savour it. Finishing off a fantasy series by Brent Weeks too, called the LIghtbringer. Its kinda fun, coming of age tale....the magic world Weeks creates using colours and light is quite unique.
  8. eww, It's looking grim. I just play a bit but I'm down about 5k and should probably get out ...or bury my head in the sand for about 2yrs.
  9. Canadian embassy in Greece vandalized by group in apparent opposition to mining A Greek anarchist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on the Canadian embassy in the country early Sunday morning. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/canadian-embassy-in-greece-vandalized-by-group-in-apparent-opposition-to-mining-1.4144141 hmm, Anarchists..
  10. #playercoach Also, don't know if you read in the Province...Carl thanked owners, the team and the fans. He left out the front office. Leads me to believe the problem was between him and Bob.
  11. Absolutely. I was so happy he played. I wasn't expecting him to. His quote about last night. “I’ve been a part of this team for quite some time now. This is the first time I want to apologize to the fans and to the people at this club because they don’t deserve what they just saw,” said the Canadian midfielder. That was a team that gave in, and that’s not what we’re about here. I want to apologize on behalf of the team, to the people who came to watch, to the people who supported us. That’s not what this team is about.” http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/russell-teibert-apologizes-whitecaps-fans
  12. I've heard Kerfoot is the is the nicest guy and he is very straight forward. I wonder what goes on with him and his leadership group. They don't seem to have a decisive direction or even care about their success in growing the fans base or the standings. As you have mentioned that's how the players seem to act now too, no real care. I agree, give us some players with heart.
  13. Ugh, They have really made a mess in the last few years. They have had some much opportunity to grow the fan base while the Nucks have been in the rebuild. If it wasn't for Alphonso ....it would be a total let down. When do they get the money for him? do they plan on spending it?
  14. So, no Davies... and I'm guessing Teibert tonight due to lending them to team Canada. Pull your socks up lads. We're in tough.
  15. Haha, What's cool is now some are stating that it is a gateway drug the other way. It helps people get off hard drugs. I have a problem with the smell but I find it far nicer that cigs. If people weren't all so used to the second hand smoke/smell from cancer sticks I think more would agree with me. Like a few drugs, people should be aware of the effects on the developing brain. The human brain develops into it's early 20's. There are studies that show marijuana can lead to all sorts of mental health conditions such as Bi-polar if consumed too young. Anyway, I'm happy. I have my career in Alcohol and this legalisation may take a bite out of business. But at the end of the day alcohol is very bad for you, addictive, hard on your liver(body)/brain/mood..etc.. and studies show that there is more links to cancer than previously thought. Enjoy, smoke'm if ya got'em !
  16. Thanks, I'll watch it. Usually I like the UFO stuff and don't really care about monsters, or ghosts etc.. But from what I understand, this place has everything. Like an intelligence is messing with the locals. Heard they had a crazy amount of cattle mutilations and all sorts.
  17. i want to check it out. Any good? Supposed to have all sorts of 'activity' there... The fact that Bigelow Aerospace owned it for a while got me interested. I always find it neat when billionaires believe wild things.
  18. Not Euro football, but did y'all hear about this? Usain Bolt reached an important landmark on Friday in his bid to start a second career as a soccer player. The retired sprinter and 100-meter world record holder not only made his very first professional soccer start, but he scored his first two goals. https://sports.yahoo.com/usain-bolt-scored-two-goals-first-professional-soccer-start-135852153.html
  19. I dunno what Bellators standard is, but I prefer the 5rd headliner ( actually for most important fights, I'd like 5) . I hope the final will be 5...
  20. -I'd like all headliners 5rds. -Maybe but Roy looked well out classed anyway. I know he can eat shots but those jabs were stiff. Kharitonov was impressive, wish he was in the tourny. lol at Mitrione: He said this pre-fight ( i missed it) Matt Mitrione says Ryan Bader is great at ‘almost boring’ style that leads to opponents ‘getting pregnant’ wonder if he's off to get the morning after pill today?
