Icon13 The 'Winners and Losers' article on the front page...

Winners and Losers: EliteXC 'Heat'

Anyone else feel like their brain was going to explode reading this?

I could just be me cause I'm working nights, although I did think I had a good reading ability but this find hurt my head real bad.

Give it a read.

I did!

And I still got this;

"A sharp distinction here needs to be drawn between parent company ProElite, the bureaucratic conglomerate machine encumbered by debt and ineptitude, and the fighting promotion EliteXC."

I don't see what your problem with it is. Do you just not agree with what is said in it, or do you think it is poorly written?

To many big words. :p

It's a chore to read, maybe some people like that much sophistication but you must admit it's a bit over the top.

I agree with TS. That article was written in circles. I'm dizzy from reading it.

Yeah the author completely missed the target audience on that one. Flotsam and Jetsam? I mean come on

It appears they substituted big words and a grumpy perspective for good writing skill on this one.
