  1. I really like Leo's version of Louise as well. I like those Decemberists as well, though of course I'm hearing them for the first time here. I guess they must have come along after around 1975 or so!
  2. Well folks, I'm a Wolves star tonight! Hot damn!!
  3. ^ ^ ^ Great music! Saw that duo here at the QE about 20 years ago. I'll never forget it.
  4. 50-43 Henderson! I expect GSP/Nick to look similar if not more lopsided. Nick's wrestling is every bit as weak as Nate's. GSP will mop the floor with Nick Diaz. My heart swelled with British Columbian pride when I saw that fine broth of a lad Rory MacDonald's hand raised. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a single manly tear just then. Had to reach for a serviette to dab my cheek.
  5. Your right, it's the fight that everybody wants to see, that's why it's happening. GSP just delivered the first good ppv numbers that UFC has drawn in quite a while. And the Diaz fight will draw considerably bigger than that. I just feel sorry for Hendricks, he's earned a shot the old fashioned way, by actually winning big fights against top contenders including fast knockouts over Kampmann and Fitch.
  6. It is a really fun thread, eh. I listen to everything too, and it's usually my first chance to hear the newer music. I stopped listening to radio in the eighties and have never watched tv music video channels so I really appreciate the input from the younger folks!!
  7. Dana is scared crapless of Johny Hendricks. It's obvious he wishes Hendricks would just go away and stop starching all of his top welterweights. Stuff like Jones/Sonnen and GSP/Diaz will kill what little legitimate sporting cred UFC has with the mainstream. Dana is burying his own company's long term prospects by chasing big ppv fights for short term gain. It's incredibly short sighted.
  8. Yeah, that is one helluva fight card! I can't wait to see it.
  9. I'll be honest, I shed a single manly tear when I saw it. Took the wind right out of the sails of what should have been a memorable moment of Canadiana. How could they blow it in such a devastating way?
  10. It was a treat to see Gordon Lightfoot again, but that gay kid that followed him may have been the worst thing in my life that I have ever seen or heard. Just dreadful. Turn down the sound and turn away bad. Poor kids if this is what they are being exposed to today.
  11. I don't disagree at all but what makes him interesting is he is the first one to take the style as far as he has in mma. And he is already in the big time, he had his Bellator debut recently and lost a split decision after dominating the first round in his typical fashion and then then gassing badly and barely surviving the distance. I do think he will need to go somewhere like Tri Star to compete at the highest level. He needs to be at a major gym to get his conditioning/doping/weight-cutting up to the mark. What he is trying to do right now is unique in mma, at least at the highest level. He fights out of Axe Capoeira in Vancouver; I'm wishing him every success, a lot of people are following.
