BROCK LESNAR DEFENDS UFC PUSH
tehMot...@gmail.com
fighter Brock Lesnar today. Highlights of the interview included
Lesnar being asked his thoughts on detractors who feel he got pushed
to the forefront due to his pro wrestling background, responding,
"Tough [expletive deleted], buddy. Get in line. That’s just the way it
is. This is a business and it’s a sport, it’s entertainment and it’s
all three of those words wrapped into one. [UFC president] Dana White
and [co-owners] the Fertitta brothers didn’t buy this company to say,
‘Hey let’s see if we can run this thing into the ground and not make a
dime.’ They bought it to make millions and make it what it is, and
that’s what they are doing. I’m just trying to have fun and get a
little piece of the pie. I really enjoy it. I’m proud and honored to
be a part of it. And it’s not like I didn’t pay any dues either. I
wrestled amateur when I was 5 years old and put more miles in
airplanes and working out. I’m 31 this year and I’ve paid dues. If
[other fighters] want to be mad I think they should focus on how they
can become a big contributor. They are mad because they aren’t making
any money."

I've been seeing a lot of posts from google with equals signs followed by a number in the
message. Is my newsreader the problem or do other people see this? I think I only see it
in posts from Google Groups.

I havent seen any of his other figth's besides the one with Mir. But once he
gains a little more ring time he will be an azz kicker. The way that fight
was going if he wasnt caught in a leg submission he would have got the TKO.
I for one , look forward to seeing him get better. The better he get's the
better it will be for UFC. And that's better for all of us fight fans!

I see it the same way. the "=92" should be an apostrophe. Notice in the
last line it says "aren=92t". That should be "aren't".
That or the guy is one fucked up speller. ;->

I'll be persuaded Lesnar's a potential champion when he
start's kicking the asses of top ranked contenders. Until
then, all the mouth flapping is unwanted arrogance, as far as
I'm concerned.

It is not the news server they are using it is the client. Probably an
email client that likes formating text into RTF or HTML. Doesn't
present correctly on a pure newsreading client.
I use Forte Agent for NNTP posting/reading, been using it since 1994
or so and don't plan on using anything else as long as this exists and
works.

The thing is, it's coming from Google Groups so there is no client.
Anyway I'm glad it's not my newsreader. :-)

I've been seeing a lot of similarly bad spellers lately. I think a lot of people were
using Verizon and switched to Google when Verizon got rid of most of their newsgroup
access.

i think he has the "potential" to be a champion. raw talent and an
incredible work ethic. his debut against mir was impressive to many,
myself included. hes taken a different path than kimbo slice, whom i
think hes destroy in 30 seconds or less.
if brock surrounds himself with the right people theres no telling how
high his star will rise.

Dear Word Twister,
He's going in there and fighting other men. There's nothing fake or lacking
reality about that.
Of course he's there to make money. That's how these people make their
living.

That changes nothing. You're still not understanding what you're reading.
Brock also doesn't hold a patent on the tough guy routine.
