Yeah, who owns ESPN now? Is that a Viacom thing, or Disney, AOL or Time/Warner or what now?

I think UFC is doing fine, sure signing with a major company instead of Spike TV might help it, but not enough that they should risk loosing anything that makes them unique or giving them a huge cut of their profits.

I really think having full UFC coverage on sportscenter and having live fights on ESPN is the holy grail for the UFC the only thing better IMO would be one of the big four networks (ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX) but that is still probably a long ways away. And yea when I am saying ESPN deal, Im talking full blown UFC cards atleast on par with Fight Nights prolly a bit above atleast namesake wise, also being on sportscenter and getting full ESPN coverage not just back page shit on ESPNews is a HUGE step. HBO would of been good but ESPN blows them outta the water.

And no prob those pain pills are nice, too nice in fact.

Yeah Just a note for Thumper. Don't come here and try to be all smart when you're trippin on opiates.

I've never taken oxycontin before. That shit REALLY changes your thought process.
