re: Dollywood > Kentucky Derby…
Posted by ummagumma on 4/29/24 at 12:22 pm
The general premise here is just an awful, awful take designed solely to antagonize, troll and bait, etc….
However, after one has been there and done that and checked that box off the list, a day at Dollywood versus the all encompassing shite-show involved with attending the derby may just be a ...

Failure. Cal was barely hanging on in public opinion before the season and a loss today would result in pure anger and hatred directed at Cal. It would be exacerbated by the fact Reed Sheppard is basketball royalty in the state and Cal would be the scapegoat for failing him during his likely only se...

That is how a 7 win team fights. Plenty of attitude but throwing punches like a bunch of girls. Embarrassing. The only thing that saved it was the suplex at the end. ...

As a lurker, and someone who has at most has just a nominal experience with government contracts, these contracts with these attorneys (firm) all seem extremely sketchy, regardless of relevance to this particular case. ...

This a huge sports moment because it’s more than sports. It’s a reminder to anyone that no matter how far one can screw up their own life, no matter how life can tear you down mentally and physically, you have the power and choice to make amends, persevere and refuse to let go or give up.
This is...

Posted by ummagumma on 8/31/18 at 9:18 pm
For the most part, every women, hot or otherwise, generally has more insecurities than even the most average of guys. They just rarely have these insecurities brought to the surface by a guy because most guys let their own insecurities get in the way and control them from the beginning.

Honestly, I think most UK fans simply do not know how to process these kind of upcoming seasons. There is a weird but real sense of hope but it also comes with an equal sense of fear and doom.
Last year, the regular season could have easily been another 5 win season...or on the flip side...could...
re: Regardless of the actual fight, Mcgregor won last night. Actually, he dominated.
Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 8:36 pm
You all seem to be overly obsessed with moral victory/butthurt theme...so here is the simple shortbus version:
(1)Conor wanted a huge payday that UFC can't provide but boxing can.
(2)Conor targeted the only man in boxing who would create that kind of payday.
(3)Mayweather likes money too and f...

Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 4:32 pm
You're correct that Mayweather had the ultimate say if he wanted the fight and if he wanted another big payday. He also got to dictate financial and contractual terms. No argument there.
However, going by the timeline for at least the past 2 or so years, this wasn't his thing, he didn't come up ...

Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 3:29 pm
An average adult sports fan knew likely knew who Mcgregor was before this. I'll give you that. That doesn't equal a household name though. Because you also have a ton of non-sport fans and a whole slew of kids who never even knew who Floyd Mayweather was before this thing.
Now many of those peop...

Is it a moral victory? For me....sure, if you want to look at it that way. I'm just a casual fan who is not alone when I say I have really started to dislike the sport of boxing.
So it is somewhat satisfying when all the boxing diehards feel vindicated about a 10 rounder and talk down to everyo...

Posted by ummagumma on 8/27/17 at 1:30 pm
Not in the boxing ring. Not for MMA. But he won more than anyone else or sport did last night.
Mcgregor just successfully baited and flat out used the sport of boxing and it's biggest star to his own advantage and came away the winner of the whole event.
He just accomplished something most f...

re: Conor is knocking Floyd out tomorrow night
Posted by ummagumma on 8/26/17 at 3:40 pm
I was a boxing fan and hated MMA. My first MMA experience was watching Royce Gracie headline a card back in the mid 90's or so and literallly thought it was crap.
However, MMA has evolved and boxing has basically been stagnant and refuses to get out of it's own way. Everyone in the boxing world i...

re: Can you solve a Rubiks Cube?
Posted by ummagumma on 7/16/17 at 9:27 pm
Hiring Managers should really use a Rubik's cube in the hiring process. They should tell the applicant they need to take an important call, stick them in a cubicle or wherever and toss them a Rubik's cube. Tell them to see if they can solve it while they wait. If the person is still fumbling around ...
