Well that was quite amazing, I still think Raptor vs. Gorilla is a more interesting match up or scuba Raptor vs. shark, I'd much rather see either of those match ups.

With each passing ep that Cioffi appears, I grow more and more concerned that his degenerate gambling will lead to his early demise, if you're ever walked out behind a building or taken to a back room in a casino, just run Cioffi, Just run.

Mike Ciofii - most likely to be found duct taped, covered in blood and missing a finger for 2010.

You guys have brought the funny nonstop since the yoko phase or whatever that was where you took the break, came back like Tiger!

You shovel so much comedy in now it's hard to find bits to quote, it's all so good.
It will be very interesting to see what the first sitckam show back will be like, when is that btw?

Tod as Cosby "..you're a prehistoric entity..."
hahahahahahaha!

Too much asian fetish porn will destroy ur hard drive. Known fact. Good save by Cioffi.

"You cant have a single raptor alive on this planet unless you're using it to settle a bet"
Hahahahahaha!!
Great episode!

You guys do realize there is/was a show on Discovery Channel (in Canada, but it was an American show so god knows what US channel it was on) that would pit disparate animals against each other in a lab and computer setting. They would fabricate the swipe of a grizzly in a robotic arm while doing the same for the jaws of a great white shark...and them pit them against each other in computer simulation.

I think the terrain needs to be natural, perhaps compacted dirt with a grass cover - which would eliminate an indoor stadium. I think you need to think more along the lines of a fair ground.

We all saw what a bear does when it gets loose from a cage match indoors in Semi-Pro with Wil Ferral.

I also think the bear would loose. While it is strong, it is just too slow and lumbering compared to the raptor. basically, the bear would die first, the reptilian raptor would sucumb to wounds later.

I now realize that climate would be a large factor of the game, If you had the late fall rain and weather natural to the bear, when it is at its most desperate for food pre hibernation, that would be a great disadvantage for the possibly cold blooded raptor.

In cold weather, the bear might have a leg up.

I also think it is time for an alien conspiracy show. I am fairly certain that Taylor Swift is a reptillian grey in human skin.

Oh, man, I totally retract my saying that the raptor would win. We were all thinking Jurassic Park style velociraptor which were total fabrications. According to Wikipedia a velociraptor is the size of a TURKEY and is at most 2 meters tip to tail (and a lot of that look like tail. They also say that some show proved the 'disemboweling' claw is not able to disembowel.

Bear FTW! No way is a turkey sized anything (other than Yoda) is going to take down a grizzly. When faced with the might and size of a bear the raptor would just run away.

And by the way, they had feathers.

laxdude, here's the thing. If I'm having the guys in Research concoct a raptor suitable for entering the squared circle, I'm having them concoct a terrifying and completely fictional version of said raptor. None of this feathered turkey bullshit. It's gonna be seven feet tall, it's gonna have scales, and it's gonna walk right through doors.

It's a UNIX system. I know this.

In that case the bear is allowed to have reactive armor and a cannon that fires depleted uranium rounds or gets to be the size of a bull elephant. You know, just to be fair.

Man, we'll see what kind of amber I can dig up in my backyard.

I'm hoping that the amber deposits are from the Jurassic period, not the Paleozoic era. In that case, we may have to dress up a the normally docile Dimetrodon as a raptor. Not that the rubes in Cowboys stadium will notice.

The "Air Canada Centre" in Toronto may be a more suitable venue... seeing as the Raptors and the Grizzlies both joined the NBA in 1995. And apparently they will clash for real on 2/17/10...

this was one of THE best episodes

Bear all the way and i do know six bears that could take care of that problem for you.

i forgot to mention the over/under.

carlos is still working on it, seeing as how it won't be standard points, but he knows i love putting in my two team parlays, so i think he's working on something that involves total rounds and/or total minutes. i understand he wants to avoid prop bets, but depending on the scale of this, that may be unavoidable.

hey cioffi how about you bet on the number of people estimated to die during this match up

i think that would fall under the prop bets that carlos wants to avoid
