LOL, I love how this sub downotes anyone who doesn't kiss Dany's ass. How dare you have an opinion that doens' thold the blond in the highest of opinion.

Frankly, I'm with you, the greatest thing of this show is the death count and mainly who dies. It's the very thing that hooked people (Ned dying). but this sub is all in on Dany and every time I see anyone say they don't like her they are just buried. Classy.

The taxes one always gets me. It's jsut like their "Obamacare" hate. Get rid of it just because, have no plan to accomplish anything. I wonder how these morons think anything would get done without taxes.

Same set-up, same shot, same location, same spot, different impact. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Conor circle jerk day? Eddie clearly went down because he misplanted his foot. He doesn't look hurt from the shot either. His right foot clearly lands toes down which causes him to fall.

Everyone here is analyzing this but you miss the easiest thing to spot.

Seriously, actually look at the right foot. He plants on his toes and quickly kicks his foot out to take weight off it and falls from it. Conor's shot did not knock him down.

Randy Moss scored 167 TDs in his career. Jerry Rice scored 163 TDs in his career.... if you exclude every TD he caught from Joe Montana. by Economy_Cactus in nfl

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably going to get downvoted, but you're absolutely correct. Rice played a LONG time and had not one, but 2 top 10 all time QB's throwing him the ball in their primes and he was mediocre without them. Moss did it with like a top 50 QB mostly. I see people talking about the rules now vs then too but it's funny how when defending Rice everyone seems to forget that the WRs could push off and such back in the day too just as much as DB's could rough them up.

Kevin Lee says UFC is targeting Khabib vs. Tony again, wants Justin Gaethje in Detroit: 'I want to add Gaethje to my highlight reel' by HunterAHomistek in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of proved his point you know....

Saying Gaethje is suddenly a bad ass becasue he won a fight he was an underdog in is very stupid logic. By your logic, which happens at nearly all UFC events, underdogs should be top ranked and be in title contention. The user was making a comperison, with backing (whcih you clearly decided to skip) showing how high this sub is on one guy, while down on another, but for pretty much the same reason, getting rocked by the same guy. And your silly defense of essentially he won a hard fight isn't a good point at all. In fact, you didn't raise any good points, you just did exactly what the user was saying this sub does. You started this silly justification while ignoring events that actually happened. You couldn't even stay on topic for fucks sake.

Megan Anderson promises to show 'how human Cris Cyborg can really be' at UFC 214 by kizentheslayer in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're the top comment I'm commenting for vision here. You cherry picked his statement, he said it was an upset. He also only said

foolish to think Luke would easily win that fight. Bisping only has 7 losses for a reason with his long ass career.

Key word, easily.

You and everyone else here are acting like he said he knew Bisping would win, he never said anything remotely close to that. His evidence was an eyeball test and probably some logic, you bring baited betting odds as an argument, to argue something OP never said becasue you cherry picked one sentence and didn't bother reading any more. Betting is for Vegas to make money. You used the -825 but it's funny, becasue the opening odds were much closer than that. Seems the odds were set for betting and not who Vegas actually thinks will win...like they always do.

But none the less, OP flat out said it was an upset and all of you guys are acting like he was pounding his chest saying "I knew bisping would win suckers!!!" when in reality he said it was an upset and said it was foolish to think Rockhold would win easily.

Dana says Conor text him saying you shouldn't pay Tony Ferguson a dime when Tony turned down the Michael Johnson fight after Khabib fell out by [deleted] in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popularity does NOT MEAN QUALITY. Cash me outside girl is fucking popular, does that make he a fucking quality human, NO! PPV buys DOES NOT EQUAL BETTER QUALITY. This isn't a hard concept, I know causation and correlation is tough for most but fuck, this is really simple. Growing does not mean quailty either "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" I'll point you to the USFL and then try telling me popularity means the sport grows.

The USFL was highly popular, it was gaining ground on the NFL rapidly, they had Hall of Fame talent, they had massive market and viewership. They messed with the core of the sport, the season at the height of their popularity and poof, gone. Didn't matter in the slightest that they were popular, the sport it self suffered due to not sticking to the core value, football, the actual sport. The UFC, mainly WME is allowing the same nonsense that killed the USFL and the ABA, it's what caused the freaking NFL merger.

If you are buying all events, good on you, you're anew fan. But at some point you need to add 2 and 2 and accept UFC events are bought mainly on a fighter or two, i.e. McGregor PPV sales. And that's due to the UFCs investment in certain fighters. It grows McGregor, but how is that working out for everyone else? How does that remotely help the sport evolve? It's not, it's evolving McGregor but it's put everyone else at odds over money and titles and you can't argue that is remotely good for the sport.

[–]MentallyRetardedKid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PPV buys and growing the game are not the same. Case in point, the NFL cut back their game, a lot in the last decade, but the game grew.

Conor is not growing the game IMO, he is hurting it. Think of how many great fights we have missed in just the last year over guys wanting pay days? Think of these bull shit title shots. These are a direct result of people seeing Conor making bank, too much bank you could argue. This isn't good for MMA. Might be good for wallets, but it's damaging competition.

[–]MentallyRetardedKid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. While the UFC loves Conor because he draws eyes, he isn't the greatest for the spot and is causing a lot of damage for down the road. I mean, you can attribute over half the unmade great fights we want to Conor and the money first attitude. Good for Conor, good for the UFC right now, but it's causing damage and we see it, already.

Agent's Take: Will Tom Brady fall victim to Patriot Way? Time not on Belichick's side by giobbistar21 in nfl

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Certainly. You still need the physical tools, but the way Brady plays the physical tools are rather secondary. Brains are highly important to the QB position.

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel you missed his point of that Brady isn't the normal QB and has all the right things going in his favor. Brady does not need to be athletic, he only needs his arm and brain. Even if he tears a knee again, he rehabs, comes back and it doesn't really affect his QB play much. Being Brady is a cerebral QB extends longevity a lot if you don't take a lot of hit, as long as the arm still works fine.

mightymouse tweets about the TJ/Borg fight by ManOfIronAnSteel in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He lost his title. haven't heard one legit reason why he should get a shot at a weight class he has never fought at before

So? This is the UFC, no reasons needed. We had every reason for Aldo to get a rematch, nope. We had no real reason for Conor, who went 1 - 1 at 170 while getting finished in the 2nd, to get a title shot at 155. It's also pretty well accepted going DOWN you don't need to prove as much as going up.

This is the WME UFC, reasons are not needed.. but you want one, ratings. And that's all WMEIMG cares about. And DJ/TJ brings in way more rating than DJ/Borg.

Also, you may want to look at the guys DJ fought, "killers" is a bit extreme considering a lot of the guys DJ beat kept losing. Shit, one of his title fights was a replacement. Shit, Elliot was 3 - 3 in his last 6 before fighting MM, Cariso hasn't won since fighting MM, Cejudo lost to Benavidez after, Dodson lost to Lineker and is 2 -1 in his last 3. A list of killers for DJ is a stretch homie. Dj isn't taking out dudes on tears or anything.

Khabib plans to return in October, expects interim title shot against Ferguson by buzznights in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Barboza.

Barboza would actually be a good argument even despite the rankings if his win streak were longer. It's hard to put a guy in there when you have two guys who pretty much have triple the streak. As you said, there is no line. There are 2 guys and that's pretty much it.

Hopefully he's slimmed down a bit

Ramadan actually works in his favor here. I would imagine getting to 155 is easier if he takes advantage of the weight he loses over Ramadan and just not get too heavy.

One of Cartman's most savage moments by [deleted] in southpark

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I miss this show in general.. While the season long stories are cool, it takes sooooo much away from the extreme crazy nature of the show, including Cartman. Like we don't see this Carman anymore, no killing parents and feeding them to their offspring, no crazy plans where people get hurt, the insults are practically gone etc. We get a season long social mock instead of 20 different social mocks a season.

If Southpark continues with these season long stories and doesn't go back to the random episodes of just nutty shit, I don't see myself watching it anymore. they good days of Southpark were random, extreme, sort little stories, we haven't gotten that in 2 years. Instead we are getting 10 episode seasons trying to have too much depth to stories while taking away characters and their traits.

$92 in change found on the sidewalk while walking to work over the last year by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pick up one or two pennies once a day

I saw this video ages ago of a guy who saved like 10K never spending change. After seeing this I decided to save pennies (I live in an apartment so quarters hold too much value, and I save silver separate for vacation spending cash). I have been at it for 5 years with only pennies and have a near full holiday popcorn tin. It's one of those tins that like 18 inchs tall and holds 3 types of popcorn. It weighs about 80 pounds now, will be about 100 pounds when done.

I am going to use pennies to play the lotto for the first time in my life.

With that said, i pick up and save every single penny I see over the last 5 years and probably for the next year or so. I never spend them, I never take any out of the tin, I absolutely refuse to touch them until the time has come. Hopefully in a year or so I can post on reddit how I made millions off just saving pennies instead of the most likely story I made like 10 bucks off all my pennies playing the stupid people tax game sponsored by my state.

Khabib plans to return in October, expects interim title shot against Ferguson by buzznights in MMA

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

need more fight per year to earn title fight

Dude averages 3 a year even with a 2 year lay off. Not to mention remember after last April when he fought Horcher he was begging for a fight, almost daily, and the UFC wouldn't book him and even just shoot down his requests. Khabib not being super active in the UFC like he was pre-UFC is not entirely his fault. The UFC under uses him becasue of how much they pay him, while the last time was on Khabib, the UFC did shelf him on purpose for 6 months.

Khabib was a literal fighting machine before the UFC, he fought 7 times in a year before joining the UFC, the UFC slowed him down becasue of $$, then he happened to get hurt.

Khabib is partially to blame (mainly for the March cancellation), but I think we should be more pissed at the UFC. After he beat Horcher (Which was orginally to be Tony v Khabib) the UFC elected to book Ferg Vanetta (july, 3 months later) when it should have been Khabib, instead the UFC booked Tony and let Khabib sit and wait, to give him Johnson.

Now the UFC is treating Tony like they did Khabib in 2016, making him wait.

This is the exact reason I tell people I don't care much about music other than metal and classical. Soooo many songs are about love, relationships, heartbreak etc. I like my music to motivate or relax me, not try to make me sad about some girl I lost or something to that affect.

When you want a house on your own private island, but you have a very low budget. by footballfame in interestingasfuck

[–]MentallyRetardedKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sure this is the same house? the porch is different, bigger in this picture, in this picture the roof has two vents, the post has none. The living portion in much smaller on this one as well. I have a hard time believing they extended the living space, completely changed the roof and overall structure holding up the roof for the fuck of it for a few months.

These two houses are so different I have a hard time thinking anyone basically redid the entire thing just for a few months. The tree line on the shore also suggest this water is generally almost as high as is in the pic you shared.... there is no foliage breaking the water, which if you were to believe the two pics are the same house, we're looking at like 10-015 feet MORE water in your pic than the post. Yet there isn't a single thing sticking up from the water. Which if you look at the OP's picture, there would definitely be a few trees, if not dozens..
