    They're heavyweights. Even Cain can (and has) get caught. What Gavitard said is right, every single one of them has to believe that they can and will beat whoever is put in front of them. Yeah, that's a tough one. I listened to the podcast where Schaub was talking about this, and he said that...

    I'm sure he'll stick to the company line of "it's more professional and the all of the money is going directly to the fighters." Schaub himself said he was just speculating, anyway. No one knows how it'll be paid out yet.

    The podcast really isn't that bad. They're all friends and Rogan is just telling Schaub how it is. It's uncomfortable but not brutal.

    I went 2h Templar and it was pretty good. It's nice to have dispel and other anti-demon shits, as well as the buffs. I'm about to start my 2nd playthrough, but not sure which class to go with. Any thoughts on bow rogue? Mist: Try the Emerald Graves.

    Three weeks in Europe.

    Crazy. I've never met anyone who didn't love Rome. I went with some friends from Paris and even they had to admit that Rome was amazing and no one wanted to leave. I even wrote a comparative essay on Rome and Paris for an English course I took and it ended up getting published in the...

    Oh for a specific place to stay in Florence: Hotel Maxim,Florence:2 Star Hotel Florence Historical Centre near Duomo It's about 30 steps from the Duomo (right where you want to be), 10 minutes walking from the train station and is relatively inexpensive. The rooms are HUGE by Italian...

    Three weeks in Europe.

    I won't get into a huge argument as to why Rome is obviously superior to Venice since it's just a matter of taste, but ESPECIALLY in late July and into August Rome would be a better place to be. Venice reeks in the summer, and I wouldn't want to spend my honeymoon in a place that smells like a...

    Three weeks in Europe.

    Yeah, trains are fine for quick trips (under 5 hours) but you're talking about a long overnight trip from Paris to Venice that's going to cost a lot of money. For 100 Euros per person you could fly on one of the discount airlines out of Paris to Italy and be there in about 1.5 hours. You...

    Hendricks was employing Cage and Pray and didn't do shit the entire round while Lawler beat on him and THEN the flurry happened. 10 - 8 seems legit to me. That isn't what happened though. Here's the cards, and I'm baffled again. The only judge I agree with is Blue, and I guess White is ok too:

    I think I have this right: Judge 1: 10 9 9 10 10 - Lawler Judge 2: 10 10 10 9 9 - Hendricks Judge 3: 10 9 9 10 10(8) - Lawler I really can't fault the judges at all here. Round 1 was a tossup, and the 8 point round 5 for Hendricks was deserved but I can also see a judge hesitate to hand...

    It had to be something like: 9 10 10 9 8 for Hendricks on that 49 - 46. I wouldn't have scored it that way but I can't really hate on it, either.

    MMA Thread

    Even Herb thought it was for Johnny at the 49 - 46 as he had his arm half way raised, and yes on the 4th/5th scoring. Maybe some 10 - 8's were tossed out. Round 5 definitely seemed like a 10 - 8 to me.

    MMA Thread

    Yeah, I can get behind this. 1 was close (Lawler early, Hendricks late), and the Cage and Pray started in round 4. I would have scored it for Hendricks, though. 49 - 46 to Lawler is still completely baffling to me.

    Wow. 49 - 46 had to be for Hendricks, right? It was for Lawler but still, how the fuck does Lawler get 49 - 46 in that fight?

    Have you not been watching the Cowboys this year? They'd be fine with any decent backup running for Murray. The production might be a bit lower but it's the OLine doing the heavy lifting.

    They're saying all of the money is going to the fighters, and I'll take that at face value but I have to wonder what the percentages are and how much some of the lower ranked guys are going to get fucked in this deal. A lot of these guys make their living off of the sponsorships (considering...

    If they were to make a season of 18 Survivors since HvV that have only played once I think it'd be pretty easy. Something like: That's 9 dudes and 9 chicks and I only had to stretch for 1. There are plenty of others you could use as alternates, and this is only dipping into the last 10...

    They haven't done a true all-star season since season 20 (HvV) which is still probably the best season ever. Now they can mix in some of the more recent greats (Tony, Spencer, Malcolm) along with some older Survivors and I think it'd be fine. The issues I've had with returning players in more...
