Ahh, yes, the time of year where the internet will write serious articles about (beloved baseball player) being the first unanimous HOFer. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:05 3
- If I can't be unanimous, neither can you. -- nm - James Monroe Nov 16, 09:07
- There's always gonna be that a-hole voter. -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 09:07 1
  - Yep, although I can't fathom how Maddux didn't get more votes. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:10
ST Poll: Who had a worse weekend, Rhonda Rousey or Peyton manning? - amoxy Nov 16, 09:05 46
- meh, a fighter is going to lose every now and then. It just takes an unlucky blow at the wrong time. - groiny Nov 16, 09:10 36
  - this wasn't an unlucky blow, it was having her entire game plan exposed. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 09:15 35
    - she made a tactical mistake. she should have never tried to stand-up fight Holm - decline Nov 16, 09:18
    - I know she got beaten and kicked in the neck. what do you mean by "game plan exposed"? -- nm* - fabulous squad Nov 16, 09:17 2
      - Holm connected on 38 of 53 strikes thrown. Rousey connected on 21 of 69 (settle down Budice). - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:23
      - tried to go punch for punch with a boxer - Reagen Nov 16, 09:20
    - true, I am not sure she has ever felt not in control of a match, and had no idea how to respond. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:16 30
      - We'll see how she responds going forward. She could easily rebound and be a continued superstar or she could be Brock Lesnar - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:17 29
        
        IMO, she got a bit soft with all the photo shoots, movies, interviews and such - groiny Nov 16, 09:19 28
        
        Beast Mode could learn a thing from her. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:23
        
        So Rocky 3 basically. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:23 15
        
        totally. You could see it coming a mile away. - groiny Nov 16, 09:25 14
        
        Many of those options go away now, though. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:27 13
        
        oh, I don't think they do. Mike Tyson is still getting gigs. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:27 12
        
        Maxim type stuff will. She is not *that* attractive. Her being the undefeated champ was part of her appeal. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:31 11
        
        she can pretty much write her own ticket into the WWE and dominate there. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:33 9
        
        That's chump change for her brand. At most, she'd want to appear twice a year there. -- nm - David Nov 16, 09:35 1
        
        at the cost of risking her face? -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:38
        
        Yeah, but that takes her out of the public eye. - Spawn Nov 16, 09:34 6
        
        I think you are selling her short by a lot. - groiny Nov 16, 09:37 5
        
        Going from real athlete to fake athlete would be a step down lower than being Turtle's girlfriend. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 09:38 4
        
        I think you underestimate the WWE's reach. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 09:41
        
        Ehh, she's already said she wants to do the WWE routine... - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:41
        
        boxers and MMA people are different than other sports. - groiny Nov 16, 09:41 1
        
        You could offer to take her in though! -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:42
        
        *thinks hard about what he is about to do* - Shaun Nov 16, 09:32
        
        definitely -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 09:23
        
        Likely true as well. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:20
        
        maybe she bought into her own hype too much. I feel kind of sorry for her. it must be embarrassing. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 16, 09:20 8
        
        The realization she must have had during the fight that she was going to lose must have been worse than "What if I'm stupid and I don't know it?" -- nm - Max Nov 16, 09:24 4
        
        it is similar to the kid who gets drafted as a pitcher. - groiny Nov 16, 09:27
        
        Thing is, a fighter that good as what she can do...she always should have had a chance if she thought it through. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:25 2
        
        It's very odd. I swear I've heard her say in the past she wants to get fights over quick to avoid taking damage to the face. - Max Nov 16, 09:27 1
        
        She's fallen for the hype that she's the "Great One" where she doesn't want to win; she wants to conquer. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:46
        
        in some ways she's a victim of her own dominance - Reagen Nov 16, 09:23
        
        I am sure this plays into it as well. overconfidence happens all the time in athletics. - groiny Nov 16, 09:22 1
        
        I am sure it was to a point where a part of her wondered why she was training so hard. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:24
- I'm not a huge UFC person, but how much of a shocker was that result, realistically? -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:09 6
  - It was 'shocking' in the context of Rousey being so much better than everyone to date... - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:12 5
    - Is it comprable to Douglas over Tyson in your opnion ? -- nm - eag Nov 16, 09:24 4
      - Nope, MMA will not have that type of fight as a main event... - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:29
      - I think that's overselling it - Reagen Nov 16, 09:26 2
        
        It's still the first loss for an undefeated, dominating fighter, and not just a loss but a KO. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 09:28 1
        
        It's still a huge upset, but all the same you had a lot of people noting this as the big chance for it to happen. - Reagen Nov 16, 09:30
- Rousey. the refusal to touch gloves was just icing on her failure cake -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 09:07
- Peyton Manning. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:06

- $18m a year for at worst the 2nd best player in the world? (Edited to account for Hunting being stupid) -- (edited) - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:56 5
  - with the currency conversion its probably closer to $30m, plus I'm sure he'll get a cut of the $250m transfer fee -- nm* - znufrii Nov 16, 08:59 4
    - it's 47.5 mill. -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 09:01
    - Taken from the article. -- that's the after-tax...on well, -- (edited) - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:00 2
      - and 18M GBP, not USD. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 09:01 1
        
        Yeah, more like 27M. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:02
- I expected that number to be in the form of groupies. -- nm - Mop Nov 16, 08:55

  - He planned an attack on the capitol. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:49
  - if you read the article it's a fair bit more than that -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 08:47 3
    - read an article!? eff that. heh. -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 08:48 2
      - also, I love how a dude can go to an Ohio store and buy 2 semi automatic weapons and 600 rounds of ammo like it was picking up milk and eggs -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 08:50 1

- Wow. The record is only 40 passes against a defense in a year? - JaxSean Nov 16, 08:44 2
  - That's still 2.5 per game. Given 40TDs passing by a QB is uncommon (still), it's not far-fetched. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:47 1
    - There are 11 NFL seasons where a QB threw 40+. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:49
- Should fire Payton too for letting Brees overrule him on that 4th down. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:44 2
  - Meh. When a guy's been a star in the league that long, he deserves a vote. -- nm - David Nov 16, 08:47
