How do you enjoy a sport illegally?
It's a Bad MMA weekend, friend. No ratings to speak of. Pretty soon Mo Smith will bring us back to our roots and let us enjoy this bloodsport for what it is.
I'm pretty sure this isn't actually airing anywhere until July.
Not sure if this is a serious question. Again, I never know when people are joking or serious in this thread, so no offense.
A fighter who wins all the time is boring as shit. Same with any sport, why watch if I know what team is going to win?
give me an exciting fighter with a .500 record and I'll watch all his fights.
I mean even in your question you say 'boring' fighter, why would anyone want to watch that? Unpredictability is a wonderful thing in this sport. Sure rooting for an underdog against the unstoppable force is fun, but bah, gimme a fight where I don't know what the fuck will happen.

Its never illegal to view a broadcast being re-transmitted, it's only illegal to re-transmit it yourself. Remember that, my fine feathered friend.

Don't worry, like industry leader Bob Arum, I am well informed of legalities.

Aren't these hypothetical negative masochists married ... with children even?
My advice:
oh shit, Terry Martin is still fighting?
Nonsense, Fedor lost almost all of his appeal once he started losing.
Nothing wrong with snitchin'.

Crap. I'll keep checking though that night.

I disagree with this. I became a big Freddy Lenko fan after the Werdum fight and would go out of my way to watch his subsequent fights just to see how he'd lose. I think tapping to strikes is his only remaining method of losing.
I can no longer endorse the uppity police state this thread has become.

Magic Johnson just called RWB the worst pg he's ever seen play in an NBA finals game, what do you say friend?
how quickly people forget corporate Chamber abandoned mma-gaf a few months ago, and let's not bring up Natch's emo spell...

MMA-GAF: Are we going to ignore the gloomy behavior of our friends paying for their right to agony and go back to enjoying MMA? yes or not
It's time to draw a line in the sand before we lose our good friends Chamber, maklershed, ShaneB and many others who are hanging on by a thread.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Have you read Chew? That is the only series I've kept up with. I wish I knew a place to buy that MMA one. Heart?
I think I told you guys I went to the lcs in February or March and felt ashamed afterwards. I don't know why but ordering online tpbs or digital is all I could see myself doing. I think I spent too much time lurking those monthly threads and wanted to check something out. It seems like modern comics are a pretty poor entertainment investment though, comparing a modern book you could read in 5 to 10 max compared to something from the eighties.
And how do you attract new readers at 3.99 an issue. Its more overpriced than the ultimate.

I think the more you follow a sport, the more inevitable being annoyed with it becomes.
Its not wrestling or boxing, so thats a positive.

Real brahs don't read 3.99 issues and take a stand against them. I purchase them in person, I do not feel shame and you can meet some great broads.
It's nice to know you care, it means a lot!
I like your rob liefeld AV stranger.

Question: which is better for the sport, guys like Wandy, Tito, Nogs, etc losing and being put into retirement OR winning just enough to keep being put in veteran vs. veteran fights?
They should smarten up and retire before either happens. Go out on top and be proud of it.

Franklin is the bar bearer for retirement. He should just be put in a survivor style gauntlet to see which vet keeps their job.
Imagine 7f they made a TUF season out of them all.

That's not possible though. It's such an ego driven sport. They can't go out on top because winning a fight makes them think they can win the next one. Shit, losing fights make them think they can win the next one too.
Unfortunately, most of these fighters need to be beaten to punchiness before someone will intervene and tell them it's over.

Tito talks about his win over Bader like he beat a prime Chuck, Wandy, and Jones at the same time. Its hilarious.
I know. They win one and think they can keep going. They lose one and want to try and get a win and retire on a win... but then they win, and think they can keep going... and it never ends.
They need to get beaten to a pulp before they realize they're done.
Kenflo's retirement was pretty solid, dude had a decent career, and is now great on the mic, so good for him.
I'm reading Animal Farm while I patiently await the first selection. Any ideas, friend?
are we limited to fiction friends?
Animal farm is awesome. It's even more morbid because its animals.
I'm down for whatever. Let's find something we can all agree on. Maybe we can rope maklershed back in to post more.
Yeah I've been slacking on reading for the last few months so I decided to pick up a quick read to get back in the swing of things.

Ya, I've been picking up a lot of the new indie stuff but it's too early to recommend anything. The only one I'm really loving is Rachel Rising. It's on issue 8; the trade collects 1-6.
I've been waiting for DMZ to end to read it, so looking forward to starting it soon. I have to get through the stack of trades I just bought first though (Locke and Key, American Vampire, Animal Man, and Wonton Soup).
I have been, yes. I go every Wednesday to browse and pick up my subs. It's the same shop/owner I went to as a kid, although I took a 20+ year break from shopping there. The Boys really got me back into comics. It's the only super hero book I've followed as an adult.
You should post here more.
I liked Frankenstein in college; don't remember why.
I was looking for my copy of Fahrenheit after Bradbury died and couldn't find it, but found October Country, which is even better. I forgot I had this book.

It's a short story collection. Haven't read it in forever but I still remember some of the stories even after all these years. I dunno, I'll see soon whether I should have left my memories alone.

Now we're talkin! Miss Havisham is one of the most tragic characters in all literature, yes or not?
Bad news - Jimmo is in the UFC now.
I read Frankenstein in 1999, yikes.
IDK for non-fiction something like Guns, Germs, and Steel would be good.
