Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Re: Report: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Bets $5.9 Million on Heat Over Pacers in Game 7

Actually Floyd never put down that money.....he's likely working for the bookies. By announcing that he's put down 5.9 million, other people are going to try to "Keep up with the Jones" and put down the same amount of money.....as a result, those bookies can bring in 100's of millions
Its a pretty smart way of doing business....unless Floyd has really taken too many blows to the head
Not a bad take. Marketing is part of that business, too. A lot of really smart gamblers like the +7, though.. But, there was no movement on the lines today, so the real players and experts are calling bullshit on the story.

no consequences to his action.
He was out of the league a bit earlier than expected and never got a shot to make a return after the injury. The culmination of all those little incidents - plus karma - could be viewed as him having received his just desserts. I'm a T.O. fan despite this, however, cuz the negro can straight up ball. No homo.

Did he really say NO HOMO at the end of a sentence? HAHAHA
Yeah, and I immediately thought about the two of them having sex, what with Roy being 7-foot-2 and all. No homo. It was sorta funny since LeBron had tried to rub his leg up against Roy's balls on a shot attempt during the game.

Some black guy is claiming that it began around 2004 with some other black dude, a rapper maybe, but this was just an anecdotal claim. He didn't provide any text or video documentation to support his claim. I also disagree with Timm See's statement that 'no homo' can be used before or after the potentially homo statement. It's after, always. No homo. And there's nothing wrong with black guys wearing pink. Entire pink outfits might be a bit suspect, but as long as he's not wearing earrings, then he's not likely to be more than 50% gay.

While I recognize her right to become and be a woman, I'm wrestling (no pun intended) with whether or not she ever should have fought in the women's division without first informing the fight commission that she is a genetic male.
Moving forward, I would like to see her facing other genetic males in her weight class. Or Ronda Rousey.

Getbig Main Boards / Gossip & Opinions / Transgendered MMA fighter comes out

The GetBig Nation is rejoicing: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/06/fallon-fox-transgender-mma-fighter-_n_2819315.htmlMixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Fallon Fox opens up about being transgender in a new interview with Outsports' Cyd Zeigler, but admits she has some long-standing reservations about coming forward. "For years I've known at some point it's very likely the shoe would drop," Fox is quoted in the interview as saying. "Maybe someone would guess that I'm trans. Maybe they would know me from my life before I transitioned. I've been waiting for that phone call to happen. And Saturday night, it happened." Part of her reluctance to come out has had a lot to do with concerns over who she'll be perceived by her fellow athletes, saying that people have "seen me as a woman." "I'm technically, legally, physically and mentally female. Everything about me is female," she says, before adding, "I happen to fall into the transgender category, but I rather describe myself as a woman first, transsexual woman second." She tells Zeigler she underwent gender reassignment surgery (along with the supplemental hormonal therapy) six years ago, several years after her father -- who was convinced she was a confused gay man -- put her in conversion therapy where, she notes, she was treated by a reparative therapist who tried to convince her that she was, in fact, gay so that he could turn her into a heterosexual man. As Sports Illustrated points out, Fox is currently scheduled to fight again for the Championship Fighting Alliance 10 in Coral Gables, Fla. on April 20, but her license approval is now under investigation with Florida's Dept. of Business and Professional Regulation now that she's come out as transgender. Fox's revelation follows that of mixed martial artist Liz Carmouche, a former Marine who fought in the history-making, first female match-up of the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Feb. 23. "It's going to be difficult for people to adjust at first, but that's change," Fox told HuffPost Gay Voices blogger Phillip B. Crook of the barriers to women and the LGBT community in both sports and the U.S. military. In July 2012, Lana Wachowski ("The Matrix") became the first major Hollywood director to publicly come out as transgender while promoting "Cloud Atlas."

then how can you explain to wether or not that man built that bridge or not?
god is the idea , the point of knowing, when you dream or think, some can call it a degree of magnetism
the creation is radiating , the opposite of manetism or the repulsive nature of it
everything is spheres and vortices , explosion and implosion , the planets=spheres/implosion the galaxes=the vortices/tornados/implosion
walter russel of russellian science is the only way , walter russell was the mentor of nikoli tesla, these people are shunnned from society much like falcons with there advanced theories that irritate academia
I haven't read the entire thread yet, but in case you haven't been told previously, the creator of the universe isn't the one you've read about in your little storybooks.

I fell for a similar scam about 16-17 years ago, back in the AOL days.
I was a hard-working young sailor, tired of all the little ho-bags running around Norfolk and surrounding areas. There was a magical beep one day, an IM - instant message - that would forever change my life.
Her name was Katelyn and she said she was a teacher. I don't know how she found me, but didn't care. I also didn't care that she was divorced and had a kid. Her pictures were cute. Even had pics of herself in a classroom. At least, she said it was her.
During long hours on duty in the shipyards, we'd talk by online message and occasionally by phone. She mailed gifts and cards to me. She loved hockey and we were fans of rival minor-league teams. One of the places we were to meet up was at a bar in Richmond that was a popular post-game spot for the players and groupies. Of course it never happened.
To make a long story short, after the second meet-up failed, I came to the realization it was a hoax, but continued to milk it for the free presents a bit longer, while I went back to banging the stupid coeds and whores in southeastern VA. The incident was eventually forgotten.
Until now.

Yes, it's hard to win championships in this league, but if you didn't know much about the league, would you believe that Peyton Manning has fewer titles than Ben Roethlisberger despite having played 5 more seasons?
I'm a huge Eli fan because of what he's done when the lights were brightest. Luck is a factor, but keep in mind that we make a lot of our own luck. Eli has capitalized when the opportunity was there. Peyton doesn't play defense, but Denver never should've been in a position where a Hail Mary could tie the game in the closing seconds on Saturday.
