Pence is starting to look a lot better here lately

Mike Im sure is still fired up over the 4A tie-breaker rule so get ready for that as well tonight at 830! Im going to eat at Roadhouse first to have the energy to keep up with him! A link will be posted up here on the site.

Actually sorry bullets started this thread, he asked for opinions.

Its just a personal opinion of mine, thats all. Of course most people would take Manny over Lee but I wouldnt personally. Just like I like Jeter as my SS, you asked for opinions and those are mine.

Aww the beauty of sports and arguing them LOL. I still take Lee over Manny because of attitude. I dont like how Manny can talk off games and people just say "Manny being Manny." Give me a player who at least shows up each game and competes no matter how he feels mentally.

Glad to see Jeff pitching again

[Hidden Content],78124 UFC cuts Starnes after disgraceful performance By Kevin Iole It was a great night for mixed martial arts on Saturday in Montreal, as an enthusiastic sellout crowd of 21,390 packed the Bell Centre to watch hometown hero Georges St. Pierre reclaim the UFC welterweight title from Matt Serra at UFC 83. It wasn't such a good night, though, for Kalib Starnes, who spent most of the evening running from Nate Quarry in their middleweight bout. A native of Surrey, B.C., Starnes was booed heavily by the Canadian crowd that had been boisterous in its support of all the other Canadians on the card. After losing a unanimous decision on scores of 30-26, 30-27, and an unheard-of 30-24, Starnes received even worse news: He was cut from his contract by UFC president Dana White. "He just doesn’t belong in the UFC and after his performance the other night, he should consider a new line of work," White said Monday. Quarry pressed the action the entire fight as Starnes simply circled and refused to engage. Late in the third round, Quarry pretended to run like he was a track star in trying to find a way to get Starnes to fight. After the bout, members of Quarry's corner were complaining to Starnes about his lack of activity. Starnes shouted an expletive at one member of Quarry's team, called him a derogatory term for homosexuals and challenged him to a fight. Starnes couldn't be reached for comment about his performance, but Quarry expressed disappointment with Starnes' lack of effort. A one-time contestant on The Ultimate Fighter, Starnes was 8-2 going into the bout and had had quality victories over Chris Leben and Jason MacDonald. "I think if you're fighting in the UFC, you've got to come to fight," Quarry told UFC.com in a post-fight interview. "I would much rather get knocked out than lose a decision running backwards. No disrespect to Kalib. I know the stress really gets to you. A lot of guys, they focus on not wanting to lose instead of wanting to win. I didn't mean to disrespect him in any way. I just got frustrated because you can't fight when somebody's moving backward that fast."

Im setting you and Van up for a "man date" where yall can sit and just praise the Spurs for hours. Ginobili does deserve this award because he is great and does come off the bench BUT he sits on it for about 2 minutes to start the games and then is in the rest of the way. ???

[Hidden Content] Order has been restored in the UFC welterweight ranks, courtesy of Georges St. Pierre's dominant second-round TKO over Matt Serra at UFC 83. The 26-year-old from Montreal followed his game plan to perfection: St. Pierre took Serra down from the get-go, demonstrating that Serra's jiu-jitsu could not blunt the relentless attack. St. Pierre put Serra down and kept him there, muscling him on the ground. During the rare times they were on their feet, St. Pierre used straight jabs to hurt Serra and keep him at bay. "He looked like the real Georges St. Pierre [on Saturday]," said an admiring UFC president Dana White. St. Pierre (16-2) controlled the fight throughout, ending it with a string of knees at a turtled Serra at 4:45 of the second round before a raucous, record UFC crowd of 21,390 at the Bell Centre. St. Pierre's coach, Firas Zahabi, thought it was a timely stoppage. "We wanted to hurt him, we didn't want to kill him," he said. "Those knees were very, very devastating." The 33-year-old Serra (16-5) looked vulnerable throughout the fight. UFC 83 was a million miles from UFC 69 one year ago in Houston when Serra needed just 3:25 to take the title and leave a dazed St. Pierre on his back. "One of the things that Matt Serra said to me before the first fight is 'I've fought everybody in the UFC for the last 8-and-a-half years and you've never seen anybody beat me up,'" White recalled. "He got beat up tonight." Two fights loom large on the 170-pound landscape in the wake of UFC 83: St. Pierre-Jon Fitch and Serra-Matt Hughes. But a superfight between St. Pierre and middleweight champion Anderson Silva is also bound to garner some consideration, given St. Pierre's recent run. "There's not a lot of guys out there for Anderson to face," White said. "It's not a bad idea for [st. Pierre] to move to 185 and give it a shot. He looked good tonight, he looked amazing. He looked like the guy that we expect him to look like. I'd call him pound-for-pound No. 2 in the world." St. Pierre says he still has work to do at 170. And he notes he has training partners such as Nate Marquardt at 185 whom he would not take on. "I would never fight a friend, never," St. Pierre said. "But if one day I have an opportunity and the way's clear, maybe for a title, I will do it for a superfight or something like that. But it's not my weight class." Still, chances are the UFC will look to keep the two champions busy in other ways for awhile. Silva will probably face Yushin Okami next, with Wanderlei Silva lurking after that. Dan Henderson has said he wants to stick around at 185, feeling he has more to show there in the wake of his loss to Silva. As for St. Pierre, he may also find another champion nipping at his heels if lightweight titlist B.J. Penn ever gets the OK to move up to welterweight for a rematch of the fight that ended in a split decision for St. Pierre at UFC 58. Fitch (21-2-1) has staked his claim to No. 1 contender in the 170-pound ranks with an 8-0 run in the UFC. "No doubt about it," White said, in reference to Fitch's rising through the ranks. Fitch has already added some spice to this potential matchup with earlier comments that St. Pierre was gun-shy in the wake of the first Serra loss. The former Purdue wrestler may be rethinking that theory after the second Serra fight, however. "I haven't thought of [a fight with Fitch] yet but don't worry; if I have to fight him, I will take care of business," St. Pierre said on Saturday. "It's hard to be champion but it's even harder to stay there. And I know it, I learned it. Next time, my first defense is going to be a different story." "Fitch is incredibly tough, for sure, and he's going to be a huge threat," said St. Pierre trainer Greg Jackson. As for Hughes, the former champion has already asked to fight Serra, telling the UFC he wanted Serra if he lost to St. Pierre. "I just think him and I have some unfinished business, so to speak, with the reality show ["The Ultimate Fighter"], Hughes said, prior to UFC 83. "That's what I've asked for and kind of hoping for." Serra echoed, "That's something I'd definitely be up for." The two were supposed to fight in December at UFC 79, but Serra was sidelined by two herniated discs. St. Pierre stepped in for Serra, defeating Hughes for the second time in three meetings. Hughes and Serra were pitted against each other on Season 6 of "The Ultimate Fighter," a show in which sparks fly between the two coaches. Serra took pleasure in needling Hughes throughout the series. A future contender in the welterweight division is Thiago Alves. The 24-year-old has a record of 18-4 and is coming off his fifth straight UFC win, an impressive TKO over Karo Parisyan earlier this month. That raised his overall record in the UFC to 7-2, with the losses coming early in his career to Fitch and Spencer Fisher. WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit is a wild card in the welterweight stakes as well. Asked about Condit at the UFC 83 post-fight news conference, White would only say, "Condit fights in another organization." But the day before, in a question-and-answer session with Web site The Fight Club, White was more enthusiastic about Condit. "He's in the mix, man. I tell you that last fight that we had, he impressed me in that fight. That kid's the real deal. It would be interesting to put him in the mix in UFC at 170." White also said the UFC is looking to take over some of the WEC's heavier divisions, leaving the lighter weight classes to the WEC. Neil Davidson is general sports editor of The Canadian Press.

He can destroy him if it gets to the ground. Franklin can win standing up. And popcorn Coop?? How about some pretzels and "something cold to drink"

Coop, really...who cares?? This whole topic needs to be taken down.

Is there a stronger word than hate? If not, put a few choice words in front of hate and you will get how I feel right now.
