Occasionally. Not a lot. Place is full of douches.

Went to see Pain and Gain today. I liked it quite a bit. Some parts are a bit long and drag on, but overall I thought it was really good.

The Rock is fucking hilarious and doesn't play his usual confident alpha male character, so it was also really cool to see him step outside of his usual box a little.

You're about to get negged from hell for not being around on Saturday

For anyone who's been following the Virgin Galactic situation this is cool, but for $200,000 I would want more than "a brief experience of weightlessness and a view of Earth from the blackness of space."

Mike Goldberg UFC preparation.

[Luke]

^^^Wait, he does preparation? How can he still be so clueless then?

[Vandelay]

He gets a lot of hate, but he's loads better than any other play by play guy out there.

Goldberg is the shit and that was actually really interesting. I actually feel really bad for him that he gets so much hate. The dude is a total pro and needs more appreciation for what he does for the UFC.

It's crazy that he and Rogan have been commentating together for over a decade.

I respect the work that he puts in to prepare, but I still greatly dislike his corny delivery, over reliance on cliches and catch phrases, total lack of actual fight commentary and general overall buffoonery.

Is he though? I find this hard to qualify because I barely consider Goldberg a 'play-by-play' guy. He's mostly a catch-phrase-spouting automaton and ad-reader. Rogan seems to fill in the gaps as some sort of awkward play-by-play/color commentator/over-excited-fan amalgamation.

I'll say this shit, every time I listen to a card with Kenny and Anik commentating I'm like, Oh God, not this shit again. At this point Goldie is like an old friend who comes to visit on Saturdays and I am always happy to see him. And when he--or Rogan--is missing then I always feel like the broadcast suffers. I just don't see how anyone can hate these guys after having them around for so long. I mean, such a person must be simply incapable of developing attachments to other human beings.

I've always seen Goldie as basically the guy who a) ushers the broadcast from point A to B to C, and b) sets Rogan up to deliver the technical information on what's going on in the cage.

Good post until that last sentence. The fuck?

That doesn't seem like a silly dynamic to you? No technical analysis? It's like why are you even here? Sure, use him between fights and in promos, but just get me someone to talk about the damn fight.
