Oh God, that’s definitely a threat for people to come up with topics! I doubt that too many people want to hear anything about that garbage WWE, and I hate having to call WWF/WWE “garbage”, as in the 90’s I was a hardcore fan of them.

I got some ideas for stuff…

Neil explaining why he’s apparently a fan of Chael Sonnen but yet dislikes Tito and the Diaz boys and Koshcheck, when aside from some differences all have many similarities. I mean, that can lead to guys being clowns out of the ring and talking trash vs. guys doing disrespectful stuff in the ring, such as claiming phantom knees or Silva doing what he did last month.

At least there should be brief mention of the top fights at the latest Bellator.

Finally, should there be a Super Hulk title defense of Minowaman vs… KIMBO? I mentioned that jokingly in the last show thread but considering all the love that Neil has given to Minowa in the past and the love that he had for Slice in the last show-saying that Kimbo shouldn’t be cut-it sounds like a bout that will cause him to pee his pants with excitement.

Here is a video of a squirrel trying to break into my apartment: http://www.twitvid.com/TENMH

This is a must-see people

Not kidding. I’m pretty sure that the squirrel mistook Matt for prey. That is to say, that it mistook him for a large acorn.

same thing happened to me and my sisters back in the day, a squirrel followed us into our house and all hell broke loose

by Charles Walker on May 12, 2010 9:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

Two things

1.Could you address the mentality of the modern day MMA fan.By this I mean,people who think Jon Jones needs an immediate title shot,Shogun Rua is unstoppable at 205 and just needs to fight Anderson Silva and get it over with because no one else is going to hang with him,18-2 Jason Brilz isn’t worthy enough to be in the same octogon as Rogerio Nogueira,ect.These seem to be the common talking points I see being thrown around these days by the majority of MMA fans.

2.Why is Rampage Jackson being picked by so many people over Rashad Evans?The only person he’s looked good against as of late is a very weathered Wanderlei Silva who can no longer take a shot,and he really looked out of sorts against Forrest Griffin and Keith Jardine,two fighters who (on paper) he should have easily outclassed.How does a guy go from fighting life and death for three rounds with Keith Jardine,take over a year off,and get horribly out of shape,yet come back to become a favorite over an active top three fighter?

How about the awesomeness of the San Jose Sharks. There, I put it on the thread. GO SHARKS!

by Dr_Cox19 on May 12, 2010 12:34 PM EDT reply actions  

lol. Poor Matt.

I’d listen to the show live today, but problem is, the Internet is completely dead where I live at, and I have to type this at the local library. I feel the same way about my cable provider (which also provides Internet and phone) that Neil does about his cable company.

So, I’ll have to wait to hear this until tomorrow, most likely, but I think it’s a great idea for a show and I wouldn’t mind seeing it done once in awhile in the future; not too often, but once in awhile.

by Blair Russell on May 12, 2010 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, if you really want to listen to the show live, you can call our listener line and as long as you don’t press 1, you’ll just be able to listen to the show on your phone.

email me..and I can get you hooked up with an excellent cable or sattelite, home phone, and internet package…

Haha, thanx. Things are fixed now, so it’s a moot point.

I finally listened to the show today, and it’s good stuff. I am happy that what I asked was addressed, and I’m glad to better know what Neil likes and doesn’t like.

by Blair Russell on May 13, 2010 12:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Things I would like to hear talked about today

1)How awesome the San Jose Sharks are.
2)Where will Kimbo Slice go from here being the large draw that he is.
3)When will Neil get married.
4)With the TUF coaches set we all know that GSP is a good/great coach but how will Josh Koscheck do?
5)Would Daley have been a better choice as a coach but minus out the lose and incedent after the fight.
6)How would you rather do, Chaz Bono(now post op) or Supreme Court nom. Elana Kagan?
7)Would you give Randy Couture a L.H.W. champ fight after the winner of Rampage vs. Evans?
8)Would it truely be a crime to kill a cast member of the Jersey Shore and which one would you kill first?
9)Title fight rematches, fan of them or not?
10)“Men at Work”, Pretty damn awesome movie, isn’t it.
11)If you could replace Scott Coker with someone to bring Strikeforce to a higher quality org, who would it be and not Dana White?
12)Is it a sign that Tito Ortiz has lost punching power if he can’t even knock out Jenna Jameson?

Overeem didn’t become a monster after he was 32, like those guys. He was still very young and they were getting jacked when most cases of man-boob start to appear.

Could you talk about how everyone is loosing their minds now that they’ve found out that Jon Jones turned down the fight with Rogerio Nogueira?Story up on Bloody Elbow.

That’s wwwaayyyy to big of jump for him,espically on short notice.Very wise of him to turn down that fight.

He needs to be fighting the Vladdy’s of the world,at this point.

Yeah good for him turning down that fight, his defense is way to open to take on some one like Lil Nog

He could win the fight, however Nog could knock him the fuck out with out much trouble. The guy let Bonnar put hands all over him( I know that was a while ago) if Bonnar didn’t hit like a pillow it could have made a difference.

Well hey, the hosts of the show DID see that bit of news on their own right at the end of the show. They quickly noted that they agreed with Bones turning down the fight, as at this point in his career, he wouldn’t have done well against Little Nog.
