  1. Correct...but it also meant We Want Marcel Out (at least to me it did).
  2. I think she comes back as well but I don't know if I'd do the rematch right away. That was such a one sided fight that she may want to build her confidence back up. The difference in skill level on the feet was so big that many people feel the rematch would be similar... at least at this point in time.
  3. Since the Game Day gif threads are done for the year... I'll put these here!
  4. Ronda has always been a bit wild with her striking. It's been masked by the fact that most of her opponents had horrible game plans where they rushed her and allowed her to clinch after throwing a few punches. There could be many things that factored in to how the fight played out. She does a lot of travelling & appearances which takes away from the time she could be spending training. She was not as ripped as she normally is so she is speculation that she didn't put in the work she needed to. There has been drama between her trainer Edmond (who should be fired after his advice between rounds where he told her she did great & to keep it up?) and her mother so who knows where he head was at. I think she definitely bought into Edmond's belief that she has elite striking skills... Holm, who is a 2 time woman's boxer of the year, showed her what world class striking looked like. Hunt did very well which is good to see. He's committed himself to getting in much better physical condition lately and it's paying off.
  5. Dana did not look or sound happy after the fight. He had a scowl on his face when he went into the ring and made statements at the press conference basically saying this messed up their plans for Ronda. He said it fell on him though since he's the one who OK'd Holm as an opponent rather than play it safe with someone like Miesha Tate. It sets up a nice rematch IF Ronda comes back. She has been very vocal lately about having a short fight career and possibly hanging up the gloves sooner rather than later.
  6. It's something that Holm does very well, that was her 3rd or 4th ko in mma like that. She's also has great footwork and keeps her opponents out of range... perfect for an opponent who's best chance is in close.
  7. Quite a few people actually. I was in Regina for some fights last night and most of the people I talked to (people in the fight game) thought Rousey was primed for a fall.
  8. No, Edmonton picked him in the supplemental draft after we took Kito.
  9. Rousey was looking past Holm and paid for it. People were calling the upset for a few days now. She looked soft at the weigh-ins & has spent too much time on her non fighting stuff. She has even been talking about retirement because there are no challenges for her.
  10. "These terrorist attacks are deeply worrying and, obviously, unsettling to people around the world," Trudeau said before leaving for the G20 summit in Antalya, Turkey.
  11. You can ask. But if recommend staying off social media for awhileWhen is a good time to make important statements about the way our government sees this issue? Not just Canada either. I believe it was just yesterday that Obama said ISIS had been contained. When the PM won't say the word "terrorism" it's already been politicized. Thoughts are with Paris. Please let us know when you start making important statements.
  12. I've heard/read the same thing. Friends of his on Facebook were talking about some of the **** they used to do together. One guy was like "seemed like yesterday we were jacking cars together, now he's gone". Definitely didn't get the impression he was the model citizen he's being made out to be.
  13. He might get a pity-vote. He deserves something for being one of the few bright lights on the Bombers this miserable season. I hope he gets more than pity votes. Not to take anything away from Sinopoli as he had a career season, but he was just one of four Ottawa receivers to crack 1000 yards while hauling in passes from this year's (most likely) MOP. Imagine what kind of numbers Westerman could have put up if he had any kind of help?
  14. Yes, he trashed the Riders when he came here. He was mad they didn't dress him for the 2007 grey cup so he sold his ring on eBay.
  15. He played. I noticed his # a few times during the game, he was only credited with 1 tackle though.
  16. I was just about to mention this. Any defense that is on the field as much as ours was, is going to give up yards & points.
  17. http://www.cfl.ca/article/stars-aligned-cfl-divisional-all-stars-announced Ottawa leads the league with 9 all-stars while the Bombers & Riders are at the bottom with 2 each.
  18. You know many blind people who drive?
  19. Hopefully the delay is just that Bellefeuille is having trouble with his new tie.
  20. Good luck getting that fight sanctioned. Royce weighs a buck seventy, at best, while shamrock just fought Kimbo at a 232lb catch weight.
  21. I remember being thrilled about not having to go to school and that's about it!
  22. Amazingly yes. 1st pre-season game against Toronto & 1st regular season game against Saskatchewan.
  23. Is there a sweeter victory than winning a championship by default???Default! Default! Default! Miller should get working on that championship banner!
