Nick Diaz drug test failure makes its way to the Times Square Ticker in New York

This is what it means to be (kind of) mainstream, y'all.
The folks at MiddleEasy.com snapped the above photo of the Times Square Ticker in New York announcing the fact that Nick Diaz failed his drug test for his main event fight against Carlos Condit at UFC 143 this past Sat., Feb. 4, 2012, in Las Vegas.
And, as noted by Middle Easy, the ticker ran with no real context. It simply said Diaz tested positive for marijuana. That's it. Nothing about Condit or UFC 143 or the fight itself. Just the message you see above.
That's big timing it.
Unfortunately, it's more bad press for MMA in New York at a time when that's the last thing it needs. Nonetheless, there it is, in all its glory. Or shame. Whatever.

This is the kind of thing that pushes people over the edge
While I’m not a Diaz fan, I hope he doesn’t do something stupid to himself.

He just made a million for the fight, he is set. That's all he ever wanted. He will be just fine.

and not only did he make a million
His boss has come out and said he’ll have a job after whatever punishment is doled out. So no worries, if he wants to fight again.

At least you're getting blown
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
I wish. About to smoke a joint though, in keeping with this article
TRAIN BY DAY, JOE ROGAN PODCAST BY NIGHT - ALL DAY.
All this talk about weed is making me want to smoke again
Unfortunately, I lost the number of the guy who used to sell to me. So all I’m left with is knocking door to door. One in four is bound to be a grow-op, I live in Vancouver.

Normally, I get the complaint but come on.
This is definitely worth passing along.

Oh shit I just remembered
The best stoner film of all fucking time and nobody knows about it.
Download “Withnail and I”.
Seriously. I’ve watched it 100 times. It’s British.

lol just read imdb info, sounds like great times, but may be harder to find

You won't find many peers for that one
It’s a cult classic so I can’t guarantee you’ll like the humour. But when I get a super good buzz I always put that one.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Super Troopers, Team America, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WHILE STONED OUT OF YOUR FUCKING GORD
Or watch the TV show Community or It’s always sunny in Philadelphia.
Alternatively, South Park and Family Guy

if your up for a "kung fu" flick..
Donnie Yen starring as the title character in “Ip Man” will have you karate chopping everyone in the house for hours. Its an exaggerated Bio-pic of the founder of Wing Chun & Bruce Lee’s master. The actions scenes were ridiculously well choreographed and exciting. I was randomly attacking anyone who came around me for days.

oh shit, that's right, that got recommended to me by a bunch of people and I think I even saw it on-demand for free through my provider.
That might just be first choice

saw it on bootleg 1st..
Went and bought the blu rays of part 1&2 and gave away the bootlegs. That movie is legit. And now I’m hyped again! I’m about to turn it on, crank the surround & start kicking my girl in the ass.

LMAO
That covers both really well! I really should have that in my library! There’s something about the guys in the bar getting confused with the names & smashing “Mighty Iron Leg” over the head repeatedly with the beer bottle that cracks me the fuck up everytime. High or not!

Masters of the flying guillotine is a badass kung fu movie

no doubt..
With Jimmy Wang as the One Armed Boxer…that movie confused the fuck out of me for years bcuz I couldn’t understand why the Master had a big ass Swastika on his robes! I was totally confused as to why he was Nazi! I didn’t know anything about Eastern religion at that point in life. Shogun Assassin aka Lone Wolf & Cub was also a great flick too

dont think it was noticed too much anyways..
The NYPD police chief’s son being cleared of rape charges & returning to tv on “Good Day” may have slightly overshadowed random hispanic name pissing cloudy for marijuana. Don’t think the mainstream market even blinked at this. I damn sure didn’t notice.

lol..
I would’ve assumed it was Bronx Boro President RUBEN Diaz before Nick…and that’s with me knowing what the fuck was going on with Nick. It didn’t say UFC fighter NICK Diaz. If you look the tick before it is a diff color. Almostt no indicators of anything related to the UFC… I don’t put it past Ruben either! JR or SR! Both of those assholes are hilarious enough tho!

Even when you keep it purely factual and opinion free,
you get criticized. I think it’s fair to say you’ve made it. You’re an internet icon now. You’re gonna love it.

Good for MMA, right?
As the Diaz fan boys were seeing, Diaz is quite a character, which is good for MMA. Well here is your boy Diaz giving a very nice positive image of MMA to the mainstream, real nice, good job Diaz, a very very good PR moment for MMA to the public mainstream.

New York and MMA, who really cares outside of people who live there? Does it really matter that much at all?
by Empty Thoughts on Feb 11, 2012 12:12 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Does holding an event at Madison Square Garden's matter at all?
I think we all know the answer to that.
BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.
Having a event in MSG means nothing at all. MMA has grown without it so far and a event there will not be some sort of earth shattering event which means MMA has finally hit the map.
The MMA reporting press has made it into the holy grail when it is nothing of the sort.
by Empty Thoughts on Feb 11, 2012 11:17 AM EST up reply actions
Considering an article of MMA news on the ticker makes it to the front page
It used to be the mecca of boxing before most promoters moved to Vegas and has hosted the NBA, NHL and musical acts ranging from The Stones to The Beatles.
Id say MSG is a big deal to most people, You excluded ofcourse.

Cotto vs Magarito II barely 2 months ago dude
Give me a break, Just because you dont think Madison Square Garden is a big deal doesnt make it so, Im from New Zealand and even i know that shit.
NYC would flock to a UFC fight card @ the MSG like a free lunch and anyone that says otherwise is talking out of their asses.
BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.
NYC would flock to any event regardless if it was at MSG or not… well, they would if they would put their politicians in their places. That doesn’t make MSG anything more than yet another arena.
