    We all know the UFC is the top dog in the MMA world. There is no disputing that. They have the best production, the best fighters, the best everything. But there are still other organizations that while being B-league still matter in the MMA picture. Since we generally have threads for the important PPV and they come and go quickly, it's hard to keep an open discussion about the state of current MMA without building the discussion around a specific PPV. For instance, I want to talk about the latest Strikeforce event and the state of women's MMA. In a single event, Strikeforce tanked both divsions. Sarah Kaufman got clowned badly by Marloes Coenen and will have to swallo…

  6. Antonio Brown Walks Out Mid-Game

    by +Jester124

    Don't know how many people here follow Football (America), but it was weird watching this live: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/02/us/antonio-brown-tampa-bay-buccaneers-jersey/index.html Was watching RedZone and they cut to him taking off his jersey and shoulder pads, throwing his under shirt into the crowd and waving to the fans as he ran off the field. Apparently there was an argument or fight and he quit on the spot. Still surprised he was signed, but this definitely lands on the WTF list.

    They aren't going after knockouts + the headgear. How long will Mike uphold the "aren't going to try for KOs"? I'm guessing until he receives a punch to the face.

  21. Packers legend Bart Starr dies at 85

    Bart Starr, the first quarterback in history to win five National Football League championships and hero of the most memorable game in the storied history of the Green Bay Packers, died today in Birmingham, Ala. He had been in failing health since suffering a serious stroke in 2014. Starr, 85, played for the Packers from 1956 to 1971, and was beloved by fans of not only his generation, but also succeeding ones. Along with being a Pro Football Hall of Famer and among a small pantheon of Packers’ all-time greats, he was the franchise’s nonpareil role model in the eyes of many. Maybe the most popular player in Packers history, Starr will be eulogized for being a co…

    I didn't know where else to go and post this so I posted it here. I am fuming that India lost to England the first test. The test was a cracker and I supported both teams who ever plays good cricket should win, and England are the worthy winners. However it's the fashion they lost in. The Indian batters Showed NO technique to know where the off stump is, nicking balls on good length which the english bowlers wanted to do them. No patient of application , NO courage of mind and body and pretty much boneless performance by whole all them. Kohli was lucky to be put down so many times otherwise the losing margin would have been worse. Sharti is a arrogant ##…

    Between them they have 17 European Cups... (12 for Madrid - 5 for Liverpool... 7 - 5 in the "Modern" era). Madrid going for a hat trick of wins. Liverpool trying to reproduce the magic of Istanbul in 2005. Neither team can defend, both can score plenty of goals. Likely to be a classic
