- Somehow I managed to NOT make a post about Anderson Silva’s miracle triangle armbar a week ago. The dude is fucking amazing. Just like seemingly everyone else, when Silva was taken down in the 5th round I thought the match was over, but he had enough strength left after getting punched more than in his entire UFC career to pull that shit off. Wow. GSP-Silva needs to happen ASAP.

- It’s amazing how It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is now AT BEST the third-best half-hour of television on FX. Archer and Louie have had amazing first seasons, while Sunny is in decline. Shit, The League had a fantastic first season, too.

- My ability to not buy shit has increased tenfold. The Bourne Trilogy on Blu-ray for 35 bucks? Months ago, I would’ve jumped on that like Tiger on a blonde cocktail waitress, but now I just want to sell more things. I apologize for the Rick Reilly/Jay Leno-esque joke.

- It always feels good watching guys who make a living playing golf miss 5-foot putts. Then I remember they make hundred of thousands, if not millions, of dollars playing golf.

- I need to play a roto fantasy league for money next year. And a keeper league. Maybe combine the two for ultimate fantasy baseball action.

- I don’t touch upon controversial subjects on here much, especially not legitimately important controversial subjects, but the Ground Zero Mosque bullshit is ridiculous. I won’t dedicate a full post to it because it’s too fucking simple. It’s a goddamn community center two blocks away, not even within view of Ground Zero; it’s not the 100-foot-tall minaret-topped building most people envision when they think of mosques. I understand the outrage of some relatives of victims, but some people in that group didn’t want any reconstruction at the WTC site at all. Sorry, but fuck them. I totally empathize with their grief, but life needs to go on. Republicans meanwhile, politicize a building that SHOULDN’T BE A FUCKING ISSUE, but vote against a bill that would actually help people directly affected by 9/11.

- Girls grow up way too soon. I’m going to stop checking out hot girls in the mall, because I’m sure they are all 16 years old.

- I’m not surprised at Scott Pilgrim vs. The World totally bombing, losing to Inception‘s 5th weekend. If it weren’t for Edgar Wright’s involvement, I would think the movie looks incredibly awful. Since I doubt most people care about that fact — if they were even aware in the first place — $10 million sounds about right. But I’ll still go see it; I don’t want to risk Speed Racer-like regret.

- David Wright is now officially having the worst offensive season of his career. It’s cool how Wright and Jose Reyes have declined right when most players hit their prime. Really. Fucking. Cool.

- Anderson Silva has to be the most entertaining fighter in the UFC. Georges St. Pierre might be a perfect machine, but Silva is the MMA equivalent of an Ali and Roy Jones Jr. cocktail. He fights inside the Matrix.

Higher quality GIFs here.

- Never tell yourself you’ll never do a certain something again, because you’ll feel that much worse when you do it and it bites you in the ass.

- This trailer for the upcoming movie Brothers is one of the most hilariously awful things I’ve ever been subjected to. Maybe this is because I find Tobey Maguire impossible to take seriously after Spider-Man 3. Or maybe because the entire movie is shown in the trailer.

- Life is always that much better when you’re in first in both your fantasy baseball leagues.

- I randomly discovered Kayak.com in a NeoGAF thread today — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flight. Simpler than any other site I’ve seen. Not that I’ve actually flown anywhere for a vacation this decade. Holy shit, I need to go somewhere.

- Staying on the simple website topic, Mint.com is apparently some website that can keep track of all your finances for you. But they need to know how to access all your online account information. I only allow third-party access to my pathetic life, not my pathetic finances, thank you very much.

- Eggs are required when you’re ordering at a diner after midnight. There are no exceptions to this rule.

- Weird things happen at bars at 3:30 am, like a 20-something girl walking out with a 50-something guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I hope I’m that cool when I grow up.

- Jeff Francoeur continued mediocrity — interpreted as above-average contribution by idiots — is probably the worst-case scenario for next season, since it would convince Minaya that he’s the answer in RF. Amazin’ Avenue covers it here. On a related note, Amazin’ Avenue also covers the stat known as WAR pretty well in the process of ripping another blogger/radio show host.

- As you could have guessed by now, I think a girl talking about baseball stats would probably be the hottest thing ever. Even better than ass-to-ass, Requiem-style.

- Did I never write a post about Five Guys? Best fast-food I’ve ever had. Nothing better than a bag of greasy fries and a fresh double-pattied bacon cheeseburger. If people from the West Coast read this blog, they’d say that In-N-Out is better.

- Why can’t I find a decent Christina Hendricks wallpaper? The internet has failed me.
