Also, almost caught up on the show Breaking Bad. Not sure if anyone here has rec'd it (Fats maybe? Couldn't find the post I'm thinking of). Anyway, I like it, it's got good drama and Bryan Cranston does an excellent job. Hard to like any of the characters, just how I like it.

The one time I visited the US I was constantly repeating myself as the locals couldn't understand my accent.

Doesn't overly surprise me that they have subtitles.

They had subtitles for every Englishman in the Hendo v. Bisping season. Gonna watch episode 1 right now. I missed the Fight Night, totally spaced b/c of everything going on and the Sixer game.

When I saw that Fight Night ran into TUF I decided to put off the viewing until Monday when they're airing the replay. Watched a bit but wasn't really into it knowing part of it would be cut off.

Re: Chuck being scary-- pretty much all of the MMA guys I see scare the crap out of me. It's typically a bad sign for them if they don't, actually. Chuck is an intimidating looking guy, Tito too.

Yi Jianlian is apparently still only 23 and averaging 11 points and 7 rebounds this year. Do you think he has a chance of developing into a good player?

Anyone seen Zombieland?

I watched it last night and it's great stuff. Woody Harrelson's character is awesome.

Shooting about 39% from the field, he actually does better from downtown, and doing that on one of the worst teams in NBA history.

This will prove me to be older, but every time I see or look at Yis' stats, Yi reminds me of a better Brad Lohaus.

Zombieland is awesome and they should make more. Woody Harrelson should somehow be in every single one.

Its almost sad hearing about Adam Morrison now. I realize hes having a harder go of things because hes playing for a really good team, but still. If there ever was guy who needed to escape the NBA for a while to play overseas, hes it.

If guys like Darko and Kwame still managed to get a contract after their rookie deals expired I wonder if Ammo will be able to do the same?

I wonder if he would even want to?

did his real age ever get confirmed his profile says he was born in 87?

That's why I put "apparently" as I remember there was some controversy over how old he is.

I think the poor man's Brad Lohous might be the best comparison.

Probably the biggest difference is that Darko and Kwame are 7 foot and can fill a role. Just did not become the stars that was hoped.

Is there a need for a 6'8 unathletic scorer who has never shot over 40% in his career. His best year he was with us when he scored at a whopping 37% ewww

I guess a team like the Timberwolves this year, who have been giving everyone a go, might give a small contract for 1 year, but that would be about it.
