Fake Steve Jobs on the Tiger Woods situation

Posted on December 5, 2009December 5, 2009 by georgefattell

Fake Steve Jobs has brought in his pal Larry Ellison to offer advice and guidance to the beleaguered Tiger Woods. This is a classic FSJ material. It is perverse, irreverent, and extremely funny.

Here is the post:

Larry brought in as consultant for Tiger Woods.

UFC 105, Couture vs. Vera

Posted on November 14, 2009November 14, 2009 by georgefattell

There is only one UFC 105 fight that I am really interested in and that would be Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera. Couture has dropped down to 205 lbs to fight in the LHW division and Vera should present him with a real challenge. Like Couture, Vera comes from a wresting background and has added other martial arts, such as boxing and BJJ, to his MMA skill set.

I think Couture is going win this fight, but I expect it to be a difficult fight for him and I think that it will go 3 rounds, with Couture winning by decision. I think Randy will try to test Vera’s chin early and often with strikes, but he will take to the ground to nullify Vera’s formidable kicking ability.

At some point Father Time will catch up to Couture and he will no longer be able to compete at the highest levels of MMA, but I don’t think that time has arrived yet, based on what I saw in Couture last two fights against Lesnar and Nogiera. He lost both of the those fights, but he fought well in both, against opponents who were significantly larger than him. That won’t be the case with Vera, with both men at the 205 lbs limit. Couture is about 6’1″, so 205 should be a very natural weight for him to fight at.

UFC 104

Posted on October 25, 2009 by georgefattell

Predictions: I think Lyoto Machida will defeat in Shogun Rua in the Light Heavyweight fight. Rua appears to be good condition again and poses a threat to Machida, but I have go with Machida in this fight because he is undefeated and has the skills to deal with anything Rua will throw at him imo. Right now I think there is only one fighter in the UFC that Machida would be an underdog to and that fighter is Anderson Silva.

In the Heavyweight bout I predict Ben Rothwell will defeat Cain Velasquez. This is a tough call because I have not seen Rothwell fight at all and I have only seen Velasquez once, in his fight against Kongo. I’m basing my pick on what I saw in that fight. Velasquez displayed his great wrestling ability against Kongo and that is what carried him to victory in that fight, but he also showed that he vulnerable to big fighters that punch hard. Kongo dropped Velasquez a couple times but could not capitalize on due to his lack wrestling ability. Once the fight went to the ground Velasquez was able to recover and gain the upper hand. Rothwell has extensive MMA experience and appears to be a much better all around fighter than Kongo and at 6′ 5″, 260 lbs he has a significant size advantage over Velasquez, who is 6’1″, 240 lbs. So, even though Rothwell is the underdog I think he can take Cain Velasquez.

I think both fights will be very competitive and hard fought. I expect both to end by KO or TKO.
