Random Death Notice 2016
Pretty crazy how fast things happened with kimbo. I saw tweets earlier saying he was rushed to hospital but there were no details. Definitely didn't expect this.

It backfired on them big time. The amount of media attention this was getting (including mainstream media) was not good for them. It's not the first time they've tried to bully the media and won't be the last.

I've been using Castaway on Kodi lately for sports and have had decent results. It's basically an updated version of sportsdevil if you're familiar with that addon. I'll see how it does for CFL once pre-season gets going.

It's probably one of the better fights for Brock though. Hunt isn't a threat to take him down or submit him so as long as Brock doesn't let him stay standing, it's a very winnable fight for him. Hunt has been submitted a number of times by guys using holds that are more strength than technique (straight armbars & kimuras) so that works well with Brock's attributes.- UFC

They pretty much had to announce it that way, once the news broke earlier in the day about him coming back. It was a pretty crazy card right from the start. Bisping winning that fight might not go down as one of the biggest upsets ever but it's up there! Rockhold was probably way over confident since he wiped out Bisping fairly easily only 18-19 months ago. He already felt Bisping's punches so I guess he didn't feel like there was much to worry about. Happens in all sports.- UFC
Talk of a Fedor fight is pretty much just a pipe dream since Brock would still have been under contract to the UFC (even when he retired and went back to the WWE). They tried to set it up years ago but were never able to sign Fedor. Fedor is now with the new Rizin promotion and he fights UFC vet Fabio Maldonado on June 17th (ironically enough that fight will be shown on UFC's Fight Pass). Mark Hunt is the leading contender to fight Brock. He was asked to "get ready" for a fight at UFC 200 but wasn't/isn't allowed to talk about an opponent.- Muhammad Ali
As a huge fight nerd, this breaks my heart. RIP champ- Around The League Off Season Discussion
One thing I found interesting is that Murphy admitted they offered a deal that would have made him the second highest paid draft pick ever but yet they are trying to spin it like they are trying to save the league by lowering the bar.- Random News Items
Some places have gone up to 112.9 but a lot are still at 103.4 & Costco is at 98.9. http://www.winnipeggasprices.com/- Around The League Off Season Discussion
Haven't heard too much but the Ti-Cats had a full-out brawl the other day that even saw a couple QB's getting involved. Edmonton had 2 scraps in one day involving the same rookie DE.. he took on Deon Lacey in the 1st fight then got squashed by Donny O.- Main Camp
It could also be that they are just sticking with the generic upper or lower body injury tags rather than get specific as to why guys aren't on the field.- Around The League Off Season Discussion

Isn't that a moot point since he already plead guilty? There already was a conviction, he just skipped the country before sentencing so unless they are going to re-try the whole case, I don't see what part she would play other than maybe a victim impact statement. They already have her grand jury testimony to go off of, which wasn't so positive for Polanski, so the prosecutor could just choose to use that.- Clitsome Retires
I think most people were expecting this. **Can a mod edit my terrible spelling in the thread title?**- Who do you prefer? Smith or Dressler?
In the short term, for me it's Dressler just based on veteran leadership. I can see Smith being here longer though and having a bigger impact in the long run.- Captain America: Civil War - Spoiler Thread
Yep, I've been very impressed with SALTS. It does have some hiccups but very minor ones that are more personal preference (like having to manually mark a show as watched rather than it doing it automatically).- Random Death Notice 2016

To each their own. As long as it's not illegal, I'll continue to use it. And in my case, I still pay for my cable package & netflix, go to a **** ton of movies in the theatre and still buy movies to add to my blu-ray collection so it's not like I'm not paying for the majority of my viewing habits. For me, it's simply an additional source. If there's a show I want to watch & we don't get it here, I'll use Kodi. My wife, for example, loves a lot of BBC shows that she can't get in Canada so that's what she uses if for.- Captain America: Civil War - Spoiler Thread
