    He took up space. Personally I would have benched Garnett in the 4th and put Rasheed back in

        Another thing to point out is that that vid is a WTF (Olympic-style) TKD vid, so no head punches are allowed. WTF TKD is essentially a counter-kicking competition.

        ITF TKD fighters, who fight a little more like kickboxers and are allowed to punch to the head, are a little better at keeping their hands up.

          Don't they understand that you can block kicks with your hands as well?

          WTF TKD is a very apt name as well. That's exactly what I'm thinking when I watch it.

              That's why their hands are near their waist, because most kicks landed in Olympic-style comps are mid-level.

              Even actual Olympic TKD competitors keep their hands there. If there was a better way, they'd be doing it. The basic truth is that, under that ruleset, it's the best way to do things.

                Here's an ITF vid. You'll notice the differences. The sparring is continuous point sparring instead of stop-point and punches to the head are allowed.

                  why stop kicks with your hands when you can stop them with your head?

                          That's some crazy ass shit. I don't understand what could be so difficult about plugging that shit up.

                          BP is fucked after this.

                            I think the problem is the leak is 5,000 feet under water .But still if you're going to drill a damn well that deep at least have a freaking back up plan so if a leak does happen you know what to do. These guys are clueless on what to do ,its pathetic

                              What is even more infuriating is how nonchalant they were being about it... they were like, "its not our fault, what's the big deal... I want to get back to my life..."


                              SPX... I mean @SPX: I am actually consider buying some BP stock... it went from 60 something to $35... it will bounce back. Exxon cam back. The world doesn't care. They just want cheap oil.

                              The funny thing is the stock is still higher than it was around this time last year...

                                Should've done some short-selling of BP stock.

                                SPX, the problem is it's like a firehose spraying oil a mile down at the bottom of the ocean. And yes, they are clueless. And apparently our goverment is fine with them being clueless. It's been 48 days. Obviously BP is more interested in damage control. Why they're still in control and not just obeying our every whim at this point is beyond me.
