I'm off of this merry go round. Time for chuch  :)

Super fight on its way It was a decent night of fights but it didn't live up to the card hype. JMO I missed the Bader Jones fight though.

[quote name="east texas bb" post="961655" timestamp="1296953846"] mat, no I didnt say that.  You can highlight all you want.  This is why I hat e message boards.  People read into things wrong, I did say that his cursing is what made him good, it was part of his process because that was the way he was. His way worked with using curse words, but I didnt say "he only cursed at them and that is why he was great".  Get your facts straight before posting rubish. [/quote] The fact that I refered to was was your statement. I feel you may be little out of touch to think B Knight could not produce the same results without profanity.

Silva acted like a jerk at weigh in. I hope he either brings that attitude to the ring or gets beat down; one way or the other Each fight has the potential to be fight of the night.

[/quote] To say that profanity is what made Knight effective would actually an insult to him. [/quote] You posted it. I agree no one is perfect but by your logic, it would be OK in the classroom too. And you are right; it's not for you or me to judge. It's the job of the superintendant and the school board

I have since seen coaches curse at players during games. Does it happen, yes. Does it happen in the real world? Yes. I find it interesting that when a person askes the other at work if he/she curses at home in front of the kids, most of of the time they say no. So, why then do they think it is acceptable to do it all? Why then does a coach, which let us not forget one of the roles of a coach is to be a ROLE MODEL, do it even on the floor during a game? [b]The definition of profanity is: "Profanity is a weak mind trying to express itself strongly."[/b] Enough said. [/quote] that's not a definition, that's a quote, huge difference. [/quote] Pretty profound quote [quote author=True Blue link=topic=79404.msg957601#msg957601 date=1296400830] Look I just dont think that GOUSH GOLLALY GEE WEZZ DANGIT  Gets the point across today [/quote] Point proven

[quote name="hitchpin" post="957304" timestamp="1296329120"] there seems to be three distinct lines of thought here: 1.) it's ok and necessary ALL the time 2.) it's ok here and there if used judiciously 3.) it's NEVER ok maybe it should just be a poll. i guessed the option 3 folks would come out in the AM  :D i think it depends on the coach AND the kids. but to say a coach doesn't have good character because he uses option 2 is unfair, and i don't think one NECESSARILY needs to use it, but the whole rational is shock factor, [b]to get attention, to make a point. if used judiciously it can be a very effective device.[/b][/quote] If your coaching and motivational ability is dependent on profanity for effectiveness then you are limited as a coach and motivator.

[quote name="True Blue" post="957300" timestamp="1296328142"] At what time did I ever say that a coach had to constantly curse?? The question was coaches using profanity?? I never said at any coach should just F bomb everother word. But if your going to play sports past Jr high your going to hear it. And if your a parent you have to know that little Johnny is going to get a hear full, if he plays sports. Now with that being said [b]I dont thank any coach should curse at any player on the bench in front of the fans. No adult should ever belittle a kid in front of everone.[/b][/quote] So they should save the belittling for a private time.  ::) ???

[quote name="True Blue" post="957214" timestamp="1296317054"] These are great points ,[b]coming form fokes that have never been in a collage or Pro. lockerroom at halftime when your behind.[/b] Coach K and Knight have a way to get the point across using a few very choise word at the right time. But a guess its all personal. But if your son is getting ready to head to a collage program, they had better get ready for the real world. Its not all rosses and candy. And if they not ready to hear profanity directed toward them they might wont to check into playing at a church leauge on weekends. [/quote] Wow TB, I didn't know. Please share with us your halftime locker room experience at the college and pro level.  ::)

[quote name="east texas bb" post="957186" timestamp="1296313393"] Coaches do not need to use profanity and should not use profanity in coaching.  That being said, I have been around alot of good coaches and have been coached by alot of good coaches and they are humans like all and profanity does slip from time to time.  But every other word that comes out of their mouths should not be a curse word.  Emotions are high in practice and games and that is when profanity shows most often, is that an excuse, of course not, but i would say that if we polled most coaches would say that during their career that they have said a curse word.  If we polled most humans I bet they would also say the same thing. [/quote] I can agree. In the heat of the moment profanity can slip in but it should not be concidered as motivation.

[quote name="KFDM KERRY COOPER" post="957091" timestamp="1296280197"] My eyes are bad, it's late  :D [/quote] Someone will wear #3  :D

Motivational profanity is more of a personal choice than an effective tool. If a person has to resort to profanity to motivate or get results then they are articulately challenged and have limited communication and motivational skills. JMO If it was truly effective then why not try it in the classroom to improve TAKS score? Profanity is not acceptable in the classroom, most workplaces, public places, etc. Why the practice field?

Dana White - "If (Silva) wins that fight on the fifth, then Georges St-Pierre needs to beat Jake Shields in Toronto," White said. "If that happens… then we're probably going to do that fight. If they both win, that fight makes all the sense in the world."

I was wondering what weight class it would be. Dana probably went with LHW because the last HW TUF was not impressive, not very good fighters. Someone mentioned a rumor about Brock going back to WWE. If it was true this could be compensation for him to stay. You never know.

[quote name="basketball25" post="947162" timestamp="1294882578"] Yes both coaches, oh don't start the experience mess the guy is a national champion wrestler and he will bring in guys for stand up, I mean u can say same thing for dos Santos he has great standup but his wrestling and ground and pound isn't good, Randy coutore and koshceck wrestling backgrounds and they been coaches who wouldn't want to learn from brock bout wrestling!!! [/quote] That's kinda what I meant, he'll have to depend on his coaching team. True, Lesnar is great on the ground but his size plays a big role.

Are you saying they are both going to be coaches? If so, it should be good for TV but I don't think Lesnar really has enough experience to be a good coach. He'll have to depend on his team.

Anyone else watch the game? I was a great game, as good as any bowl game I've seen. The only thing I didn't understand was the penalty on the blocked field goal at the end of the game. Refs said it was an illegal blitz that was not allowed in that game. Made no sense to me. Can anyone explain?

Soccer (girls and boys), baseball (varsity, jv, freshman), softball (varsity, jv, freshman), basketball (girls and boys) and track all going on the same time of the year. Too many choices.

I doubt it even though it wouldn't suprise me after the [b]real[/b] woopin he took in his last fight.
