Michel Pereira recounts the time him & his team almost started a fight with Francis Ngannou at UFC 270 by FuturisticFighting in ufc

If this guy the same size as me hadn't beat me up I would definitely have beat up the guy 100 pounds larger than me.

This is why nobody ever thinks they're the one that starts a fight. They have such poor self-awareness to recognize that they're the asshole.

Better Call Saul S06E07 - [Mid-Season Finale] "Plan and Execution" - Post-Episode Discussion Thread by skinkbaa in betterCallSaul

Especially because otherwise we rarely see them all that intimate. I think Howard got at that pretty clearly when he confronted them. He realized they did this for the thrill, and that struck a nerve, because it simultaneously called into question their moral high ground and the authenticityof their relationship

First one was great. Didn't like this one. Pet peeve of mine is having to listen to celebrities talk about how they don't pay attention to pop culture. Not paying attention is fine. Talking about how you don't pay attention to pop culture is boring.

about the collage... by Giovan_Doza in Barry

[–]EchoMike1987 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Immature and also superficial. Other than Ohio, is there anything in the collage that Barry actually has an interest in? Twix? Jordan? Metallica? I feel like Sally wouldn't even know he liked those things. He's supposed to follow Hank's advice of subtle honesty and instead his collage is like a Jay Leno joke: devoid of personality.

Most recent Curb season also really went at Netflix.

Apparently Netflix refused to let Tony Hale go to anything promoting Veep, including awards shows, because of his ties to Arrested Development (discussed on the smartless podcast)

Based on the number of incidents in America where people who buy a gun to protect themselves against evil end up accidentally shooting themselves or family members, I suppose this was actually the most likely outcome.

At what price would you buy PPV’s regularly (assuming you don’t)? by michaelsssecretstuff in ufc

I'm not going to pay for any PPV that includes commercials/ad reads.

Robert Whittaker on Khamzat: "There are bigger guys. You can't get away with certain things. You can't take those shots Burns delivered on him as a Middleweight." by metanoia09 in MMA

[–]EchoMike1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. Just look at the number of KO/TKO at heavyweight. It's not as if those guys are a bunch of weak-chinned babies. It's because the ratio of power to size is much greater at HW. You can't really swang and bang at HW for any meaningful length of time before someone's lights go out.

Charles Oliveira on Justin Gaethje’s pre-fight comments before UFC 274 by FuturisticFighting in MMA

[–]EchoMike1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I spent 3 hours with someone like Wonderboy, I'd think it was an act and want nothing to do with the guy. But, I don't think you can put on this persona for like 20 years without someone coming forward and pointing out some sort of inconsistency. WB seems genuine, even though most of the people I know who act like him are not genuine.

Better Call Saul S06E06 - "Axe and Grind - Post-Episode Discussion Thread by skinkbaa in betterCallSaul

Kim was corrupted by neglectful/withholding parents. Kim values companionship, and identified at an early age that pulling schemes was a means of facilitating companionship for even absentee parents. She schemes with Jimmy because such behaviour is a tried and true pathway to companionship... The bonus of the schemes is that she gets to target people who make assumptions that belittle her agency, as if she has Stockholm syndrome. I don't think any character really understands Kim, but Jimmy at least recognizes what she enjoys.

Michael Chandler: “People think that we should make a lot more money because the UFC makes a ton of money on their shows. Well the UFC’s been at it since 1993.

There's always has to be one... by NinCross in canucks

[–]EchoMike1987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Drance in print is great. Drance on the Vancast is another matter. Not because of the information he delivers, but because of how he delivers it. Can't stand his laugh and his yelling, neither of which seem genuine. Stop trying to be entertaining as a media personality... I'm entertained by information, not persona.

Chads don't become Chads by being miserable pricks 24/7. With Chiro there is always some sort of problem. Dude would find something wrong with Disneyland.

Can’t Oliveira get laser eye surgery by Rez1k23 in ufc

[–]EchoMike1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only resentment or confusion I have is the implication is that they've got optometrists on every other block in Brazil, you know. There's something wrong with your eye in Brazil, some witch doctor waves a fishbone in front of your cornea and hopes your vision feels better.

I certainly don't hate him, but I generally find that I don't care for fighters whose notoriety seems primarily driven by factors unrelated to how well they fight. Fight →get popular instead of get popular→fight

I'm not sure whether this is my favorite line, but it is definitely the line I think about most when I walk into my living room.

Bieksa is the best part of these intermission things, guy is pure comedy and an intellectual as well. Great addition to the squad. by tannerisBM in canucks

[–]EchoMike1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how fans of other teams view KB. Guy was a warrior for the Canucks and it was easy to love the guy as a fan. If you're on the other side of things, I can see how it would be easy to hate Bieksa the player. Have fans of rival teams warmed up to him at all?

Gregor Gillespie explains his situation and makes a callout by Mainaccount68 in MMA

He's fine to want to choose his own path. He's delusional to think that the path he wants has been earned

[–]EchoMike1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would a guy like Chandler ever agree to fight someone whose main career highlight is getting KO'd be Kevin Lee? I would hate to be an MMA matchmaker just because of how stupid/stubborn 90% of fighters are.
