it was. the associated press ditched their $10K camera gear to save money.
lol
last week i got a mini-battle with a guy trying to get a puck out from beneath both of our feet. he got pissy and focused more on jamming the stick between my legs, so i just turned 90 degrees and started skating away since it had just been poked to someone else. that ripped the stick right out of his hands, then just kicked it out of my way in as natural of a motion as i could. ended up like 50 feet away from him. whatever.

i do like podcasts while driving, so i'll check this one out. thanks!
In the states, the organization has no say. It's the commission's choice. The fighters and the organization can make a request but the reason has to be pretty substantial and a lot has to line up for the commission to just side with them if they had their minds made up on who they were going with.
Overseas it's different but Justin said that in Germany, they don't have an athletic commission like they do in the states. He'd have to get licensed (something Glory would handle for him) but Glory can bring their own guys. If there is discretion on how the fight was handled (like a fix) then the company gets sued not the commission. He said this is typically how you see Herb Dean reffing all over the world. The UFC loves him so they bring him.

Yeah. People still get confused about it and so many articles specifically say "not that Anderson Silva". My buddy Justin ref'd that match. He said it was pretty hard to contain his fanboydom, not so much in bias towards a fighter but the fact that he was reffing that specific fight. He's hoping to get the call to ref the fight in Germany between Verhoeven and Badr Hari. Glory has the option of providing their own refs.
Just saw these. Yeah there would be no way that Verhoeven and UFC's Anderson would even fight. Rico outweighs him by like 40lbs.
yeah my sticks were ridiculous. two sher-wood t100 for well under half price. i think my helmet was $25, full protective set for like $110, pants were like $40, etc. i got lucky and somehow the top of the line reebok gloves in all black were around $40, which was great because at the time every other brand/model was only available in some fancy looking color combination.
the only thing i want to replace at some point is that helmet. i sweat like a pig and could use some padding that is at least lightly absorbent like you get in any model that isn't the base one. works for now though.

i bought my girlfriend's skates via that sale last week! she now has a pair of junior sized eastons that retail at like $180 but i paid $40. when i bought mine during the black friday sale they went from being $750 to i think $115. best website ever.
I'm waiting for super smash bros and totally getting one. I can't wait
