About Mike »

I just sat through two consecutive episodes of Terrell Owens' reality show......

for my next trick, I will attempt to read every article on B/R's Chatter page (if I haven't posted anything in 48 hours, please call for medical attention)
___________________________________________________

OK, time to update the Bio. I have been living in South Boston (Dorchester) for a while now.

I still have a horrific Boston accent & I drink a lot.

If by some miracle I do have an account on Twitter, please stop following me (I'll press charges)

The reason I am here is simple. My friends love to have intelligent discussions regarding Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey. Unfortunately, when the discussion turns to Mixed Martial Arts, their brains start to hemorrhage. Half of them think Kimbo Slice is the scariest thing to ever step foot into the Cage...the other half truly believe they could "take" BJ Penn. When a match goes to the ground, a human being can only take so many comments about "dry-humping" before they seek refuge elsewhere ..... Enter Bleacher Report - my safe haven for intelligent MMA discussion.

Quotes to live by :

"Society honors its living conformists and its dead troublemakers."
Mignon McLaughlin

"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat."
Lily Tomlin

"We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork."
Milton Friedman

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."
Zig Ziglar
