Ufc unleashed is on a 9pm and they feature a fighter and show multiple fights of that fighter. Once a month they show a UFC event live for free. It has one championship fight. That last Silva fight was live. The reality series is at ten and the fighters are not the greatest but they put on a show. It's a little sloppy but they get better as the show goes on. The coaches of the two teams fight at the end of the show on pay per view. Season one was Chuck Lidell and Randy Coulter. Season two the two coaches, Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin did'nt fight because they were frends. They had two seperate fights. This season it's Tito Ortiz and Old ass Ken Shamrock are going to fight and they hate each other. Also, Royce Gracie(Greatest Ever) is comming our of retirement to face Matt Hughes(Greatest Now). These are two great fighters and i would love to see the fight but not for $50. www.ufc.com/

Well you pulled me back in ringo,
I try to keep up with UFC renting them from blockbuster as my interest wanes back in. But blockbuster is always 4 shows behind which sucks.
Anyhow Hoyce Gracie coming back is coool and Matt Hughs is the Truth, his battle with frank Trigg was one of the best i ever saw. I watched the 1 hour show to promoter this fight on Spike. It was COOOOOLLL.
I have to think that Hughs is right. Hoyce is coming back to a totally evolved sport and the old UFC guys dont stand a chance against the new guys. Still, i will be rooting for Gracie.
I did manage to doiwnload Liddell Coulture 3 which was cool i guess. Liddell is fucking amazing. I also download Arovski vs. Sylvia. That was extremely cool.
I have TIVO'd the other shows you spoke of and will check them out too. Shamrock vs Ortiz again will be great. Do you know off the top of your head what the count is between them.
Anyhow good shit LET GET IT ON

Ken and Tito only fought once. Tito kicked his ass. But Ken had just torn his ACL in the fight before so he was not at full strength. He had Tito in his ankle lock but messed up and Tito pounded him in his exposed state. Tito thinks he is a Neanderthal and loves to get under his skin. Ken think Tito is a disrespectful punk. Tito is by far the better coach though.
Matt Hughes and Royce (Hoyce) Gracie is a great match up. Royce is the best every on the ground I don't think the fighters today have scratch the surface of the knowledge he possesses. They got the basics, arm bar, triangle choke, kumara and rear naked choke but they can only apply them when there opponent gets tired and sloppy. Royce makes his own opportunities and set things up to wait for a mistake. Which someone always makes. He gives them the mount and they get over confident and leave themselves open. B.J Penn Choke out Matt and I hear that’s his weakness.
Matt Hughes is a freak. He is pound for pound on of the greatest athletes of any sport. A wrestler first who has trained in everything. He works hard and is real cocky. He does back it up with action though. He is one the best of the modern ufc fighters. Maybe the Best....(I think he takes HGH)
That said, Royce is going to submit him. Better strikers could not stop him and better wrestlers could finish him. the only thing that Matt has on his side is strength and youth. I don't think it will be enough.

I saw the fight. Matt Hughs is god. Grace was totally outclassed at everything. It was a quick clinic and Hughs totally terminated him on the ground. Gracie got herbed.

So I just watched the season finale of the Sopranos. This whole fucking season was a fucking waste. Nothing meaningful happened at all.
Tony gets shot and supposedly has more optimistic forgiving attitude. But his actions dont really reflect this much. Johhny Sack goes away to prison for good. The fat guy turns homo and gets killed.
I really dont give shit about any of this. Theres three possible directions for the show to go -Civil war in the family -Tony tries to get out -or the long cockteased war with New York
Anything else is perpetuated shit. This season did none of this nor did it build anything meaningful for the end. I dont get it. Now they wanna run commercials trying to get us happy for the final 8 episodes next year. Fuck that, fuck them. Sopranos is reprocessed ass.

Re: Sopranos
Anybody notice that Tony's good fortune has nothing to do with anything Tony does? Every time the Feds get themselves a witness, or are about to put the squeeze on Tony, something MIRACULOUSLY happens, like the informant who literally had a heart attack in the FBI agents car just as he was about to give up Tony. Yeah, he had Adrianna whacked, but she could just have easily died of a coke overdose.
And doesn't it always look like he's losing money. His top earners/Captains either die off, turn fag and get killed, or Johnny "Ball" Sack is taking away his garbage business, or he's got to kick back even more money to NY for something or other. Is it just me?
Re: The 4400
I don't really watch this show but I caught the 'catch-up" show, where they tell you all the really important stuff you need to know before the next season. It turns out all these people were abducted by HUMANS from the future! There is some kind of cataclysm in the future and only those 4400 people had someting that could help save the human race, so they abducted them, gave them some kind of power and sent them back to save the human race. Problem is, they don't know their mission or how to save the human race. This show just got interesting to me.

Ken,
You might be on to something with this show "The 4400". The weird thing is that the plot of the show is exactly like what early suspicians were of lost. That the island was like a group of people who were gonna save the world or perpetuate the human race.
I looked into the 4400 and its a USA show which just sounds bad. I am unsure weather the first season was actually a full season or a miniseries that they are now caling the first season. Anyhw season 2 starts in july. I will try to download some of the first season eps.
SOPRANOS: You know i kindof missed that everytime tony shuld go down something mraculous happens. Your right though. More then that though everytime it seems like something big is gonna happen something miraculous occurs to stop it. lIKE EVERYTIME THEY ARE gonna go to war with New York. Big carmine dies, little carmine goes back to florida, johny sac goes to jail, now Phil gets sick. What the fuck. I'm real sick of this show,

I dont remember exactly what was the last ep or the last few eps.
Santos made hawkeye his Sec of state. Rob Lowe came back and joined Santos as communications director.
The last ep was just barlet fading out and santos fading in. At Santos inaguration speech everyone who was ever on the show in any role was there. CJ finally hooked up with that guy and left washington. Leos daughter shows up and give the president a package. The final ep ends with Bartlet and wife on plane home. Just teh two of them. Its dark and quiet. Like you'be never seen bartlett in a quiet room before. He opens the package and inside the napkin leo gave bartlet the first season. It says bartlet for presoident. Total continuity. Finally Bartet stares out the window and the wife asks what at you thinking about. In a word he replies "Tomorro" I thought it was great

About a year ago, there was a special on the Discovery Channel about the Giant Squid. They detailed how there has never been a LIVE giant squid caught or even seen. That any knowledge of the giant squid we have is from remains that have washed up on beaches and the like. So the Discovery Channel was launching an expedition to get film of a LIVE giant squid. The only problem is that giant squid live at incredible depths, so they would have to use a deep submersible sub, which really limits their mobility and range of vision. Anyway, this was an hour long program and it went the way of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault, nothing. Discovery Channel was unsuccessful in capturing any live footage of a giant squid. Then, about 5 months ago, I was at work, in the library, on my lunch break, reading Discover Magazine, when I read a little blurb about the Japanese actually successfully taping LIVE footage of a LIVE giant squid! I was like, "HOLY SHIT! I've gotta check out the Internet to see if I can see the pictures." But of course I totally forgot. Well, this weekend, I'm not sure if it's Saturday or Sunday, at 8:00pm, the Discovery Channel is having a special on the expedition that got that live footage. It even looks like they might have captured a LIVE Giant Squid. Why is this so interesting to me? Because they have found blue whales with giant suction cup scars all over their body, indicating titanic undersea battles with giant squid and these whales. How cool is that? These giant squid are almost like real, live Kraken. Who knows how big they can get? Check it out. Here is a link to National Geographic. There are pictures, but it seems that their site may be overloaded. news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/0927_050927_giant_squid.html

I thought i saw a show where they had these specialised cameras that ncould film deep down under and that they had seen giant squids with thsis device. I could be mistaken though and the pictures i remember looks more like Sonograms. I have also heard a famous instance where a US navy destroyer retruned to port to find the huge suckers attached to the ship. Like a giant squid actually tried to battle them. Yeah the giant squid is totally the fucking cracken and simply has to be where that Myth came from.

I read that Discover magazine article and had the same reaction back when the news was released. Where's the online video already? Those are the same stills they had from a long time ago for the public. Someone Tivo this show and let us all know if it's gravvy or chuck meat.
