Enter Blue Guy

Any ref at a UFC worth his salt knows to call the fight with a fighter is on his back, against the cage, arms pinned, with an opponent with complete side control, firing away with elbows for an extended amount of time. Kimbo apologists can rest easy knowing that he would have probably made Thompson's head explode eventually, but either way, the fight should have been stopped in the second. There is no way around it, Porno Steve, Big John, Flyin' Yves, name any reputable official, they would have ended it. EDIT: And that's no matter how the fighter appears after the round, if he was fine or you had to peel him off the canvas, not stopping that was BS.

I want to fuck her in the bum. Her music sucks. It's catchy, but it sucks. From all reports, her husband is El Grande Douchebagerino. So he can fuck off. I would love to ravage Avril though.

Not as awesome as during a random game of one of the Sens/Leafs series, there was a Senator hacking away and starting to push Joseph, and Kaberle was right on top of that shit, dropped his stick, grabbed the Sen by the jersey, yanked him by the collar and just started firing away with punches.

I love that Hank, Pavel, and even Homer don't seem to be intimidated by anybody on Pittsburgh. Not Hal Gill, not Gary Roberts. Detroit is a level headed team that doesn't retaliate because fuck, they would rather go on the PP than dick around in the box, but Henrik and especially Pavel are staring at the big and physical players right in eye and just fucking challenging them to bring it. The scene late last night with Pavel going after Roberts and THOMAS HOLMSTROM! laying body shots to the fallen Pittsburgh player shows me that Detroit has no problem dealing with the grit and physical aspect that the Pens would have liked to be a last ditch intangible for them.

I'm thinking Pittsburgh will take at least one at home, they have too. Detroit is going to win the Cup for sure. Watching Brad Stuart toy with Staal before assisting on the the third goal last night, I just thought "men vs. boys". So much talent on this Pens team, but Detroit is out there playing "hockey". Text book winning hockey. And they are doing it flawlessly, of course thanks in part to the Pens most talented players still having a lot of empty space to fill in their notebooks. The obstruction is ridiculous, that I can't deny. I love Osgood, but he looks like a doofus out there. It's a shady tactic, I'd say just a small step below anything Avery has done in the playoffs. I hate it, but that's part of the game, it's strategy to piss off your opponents when they are already down, just to throw them off even more. It's not like Pittsburgh hasn't gotten away with more than their fair share of officiating gems in the post season, this series being no exception.

I'm sure I remember Joe and Mike making some kind of subtle joke about it. It was probably really easy to miss if you were watching the fight or still laughing about Yves falling on his ass. EDIT: I mean, what Ace said...

Poor Yves. At least the crowd appreciated it. One of the loudest reactions all night, nice round of applause. Nice recovery too. Heli-spin and right back to the action.

He's the model in the stores for RBK here too. He's like Sidney Crosby's Toronto affiliate.

"Former" Leaf supporters should have a flag stapled to their ass and sent down the QEW. A lot of my friend's have boarded the Penguins bandwagon for now. Which I have no problem with, but I'm still rooting for Detroit somewhat. Especially female friends. They hopped on that shit ASAP. I think they are holding out for Sid to come down to the bar and invite them to become pro rink rats for next season. Henrik Zetterberg is an attractive man too! And he can grow a manly beard that doesn't look like he consulted Prince for advice on it. And he rocked Sid's universe last night. I have no ill will towards Penguin's fans or the city of Pittsburgh. My second favorite sporting franchise hails from there. I'm just tired off hearing how great, young, exciting, and beautiful the Pittsburgh Golden Boys are. We get it. They are young. They are hot. Sidney Crosby spends more time shilling Gatorade and RBK during commercial breaks than Peyton Manning could ever dream of. It's wonderful. If Pens fans were on the outside looking in, there is a slight chance they'd feel the same way. Except for bandwagon hoppers. They'll fuck anything for a chance to cheer for a winner.

He's on the Affliction card. The way Fitzy posted it looks like that card is for UFC 85 if you are just skimming the post.

See, I told everybody it was fun to cheer for Detroit against your friends.

Hopefully Heath doesn't show up against Brock in the same mode he fought O'Brien, because it will end up making Brocky look like a million bucks. If that's the case, Brock will continually put Heath on his back, Heath is going to get extremely frustrated and not even try to fight off his back in hopes of a stand up for every take down. I have a feeling Brock might a bit harder to manipulate on the ground than Cheick Kongo. That's sarcasm. Heath is really working his ass off after that O'Brien fight so I hope he puts his all into training for and fighting Brock. The problem with Heath has been his gameplans. He often goes out and tries to execute what he wants to do, but doesn't seem prepared for when his opponent tries to put his own gameplan to work. But like I said, he looks much better since his first UFC loss. Even in the his loss to Nog, I'm seeing the old Herring that worked his ass off to fight out of bad situations instead of just being pissed off that things aren't going his way.

Heath Herring vs. Brock Lesnar now.

How call you not be interested in Hal SKILL?

Fuck, I want my Saved By The Bell, Yes, Dear, Home Improvement, and more Friends. That show with the girl who worked for the Cubs wasn't bad either when nothing else was on. I hate Peachtree TV. TBS was my most reliable channel because there was always something on to just and watch when I was bored. The shows on Peachtree suck. Movies, Seinfeld, less Friends, and Family Guy are the only things the same. They were just starting to show Office reruns on TBS too. Isn't it supposed to switch over eventually? That's what I heard. EDIT: To make myself useful to the initial post. EXC is going to be on CBS. They'll probably show it on the Fight Network soon after. They show all the ProElite owned MMA promotions I think. Fight Nights and free PPVs are shown on Spike. All other deals have fallen through.

It's from NFL Films album "Power and Glory". Can't find the specific composer. If you look hard enough, it should come up. The actual title is "Pittsburgh Steelers". I could have sworn I've heard a longer version, so maybe it goes by a different name as well. EDIT: I knew it went by something else, because I've heard a longer version for sure.

Hold up, sounded what you put out and this instantly popped in my head. http://rapidshare.com/files/114954689/Pitt..._Theme.mp3.html

Wonder Years And Hockey Night in Canada of course.

After listening to the start of the old ER theme, it kind of reminds me of "A New Game" from NFL Films. No synthesizers in that, though.

Looks like Ryan Smyth with a nose job.

Now Coburn out, unless the Philly fans are ready to lace them up and literally become the 7th man, I don't know what Philly can do to stop the Pens from putting four pucks in the net each game. MORE minutes for Hatcher? Maybe having a call up named "Parent" in the lineup will spark some kind of retro Broad Street rally, I don't know. The games have been close, the Pens just have more finish, compared to Philly being mostly Swedish thanks to Fleury playing out of his jock strap. Seriously, Philly needs Biron to play bananas and hope they can outscore their way to victory. Being the physically dominant team doesn't help unless you can keep the series alive. And yeah, Fleury is playing stone cold right now. In the good way. So easier said than done.

Oh, shit. Yeah. I totally forgot about that. I have one friend that watches it. I also like Radio Free Roscoe. Degrassi is OK, I used to watch once in awhile and my mom watches it. I tended to just watch the more important episodes or the episodes when they started to incorporate lesbianism. I love Shenae Grimes, though. I was watching MTV Live a month or so ago and I heard that she is going to be a main character on the new 90210. I already have some perverted love for old school 90210, so why not a bit more? EDIT: I don't know where "Uptown" is from, but Degrassi is King in Canada. New and vintage. RFR sucks ass. Sorry Clouds, I know we usually agree on shows of that variety, but I can't stand it. The black guy and the blonde chick (can't be ass'd to remember their names) are pretty good, but the other two suck and are not entertaining.

Are you serious? Because that would be awesome. Where did you hear this?

Paul Maurice was good as gone anyways. I think it's better they got the firing out of the way now, which I wouldn't be surprised if it was Maurice himself that went and said "let me out now so I can attempt to have a job by summers end". In terms of personal integrity as well, Paul Maurice is bright and intelligent person, I'm sure he'd much rather get this done, than be strung along until there is a new GM, then have that GM fire him and make him look like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit anywhere and is destined to be thrown out. If you listen to word on the street, they are still waiting for somebody from Detroit to wrap up the post season before they start interviewing, whether it's Holland or Jim Nill, but chances are it's Holland they are hoping to talk to. Nill is just as qualified as JFJ was and Ken Holland is a pipe dream. He's got the best GM job in the league, surrounded by such a well oiled machine, inside and out, with scouts in Europe that can find talent that is apparent hidden in a cave from the rest of the league, and he's going to come to this mess in Toronto? BTW, the Cliff Fletcher conference is at 3pm, so in half an hour.... Wonder what it'll be about... Fabian Brunstrom? Maybe more condos for MLSE, who knows.

I know he's not a front runner, but for the amount of injuries the Colorado Avalanche had to key players through out the season, Joel Quenneville should be respectfully considered. The Avs didn't have terribly notable year, but they were ravaged this season and still managed to make 6th spot. It's easy to look at Montreal and Washington, see the improvement or Babcock and having the best team in the league. You want to talk about good coaching under the circumstances of key players being out of the lineup, Joel is the man. EDIT: Was he even announced as up for the Jack Adams? I don't know. EDIT: Shit, I thought four guys usually made the cut for Coach of the Year.
