Evening, miss anything exciting today?
ReplyDeleteAre they still doing that free week service with the network? Think it's bout time I signed up for it since I'm not moving anytime soon
ReplyDeleteGo read Shoemaker's latest about Heyman. It's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNo, it ended last week I think.
ReplyDeleteEvening Abe and no.
ReplyDeleteWednesday's are so boring.
ReplyDeleteHate them. Hate Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
ReplyDeleteFood and drunkenness? I've had a burger from Wendy's and 2 beers.
ReplyDeleteI'll step up my game though guys, it's still early.
Its so worth 10 bucks a month. Dude youre an uber wrestling fan, you'll enjoy for at least six months. Plus Vince is hurting for subs. Its fairly hooked up even as is. Toss him a bone!
ReplyDeleteWednesday is my day for laying around and doing as little as possible. Like most people's Sunday, I guess.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead.
ReplyDelete"Food and drunkenness" sound like something directed specifically towards me, even though I'm sure it wasn't. But who gets shitfaced on Wednesday?
ReplyDeleteLike every day of the week except for Wednesdays.
ReplyDeleteCM Punk came by and called Farva out...it got awkward after that.
ReplyDeletebecause the shock isn’t just that Heyman, the closest thing Vince has had to a business rival
ReplyDeleteLost me here.
Like anyone in my line of work, I have a love-hate relationship with Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt may be referring to all of the food talk from last night.
ReplyDeleteYou've talked me into it. If only there was an app to help me sign up
ReplyDeleteDo it for Vince! Make him a billionaire again!
ReplyDeleteWhich thread? I'll have to look that up later.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you're not joking.
I can't take dude seriously.
ReplyDeleteAnd I missed it all because I was actually cooking food. That's kind of funny. Kind of wish I was now, I don't have any clams at home.
ReplyDeleteDude, Michael Cole's gonna be blowing up your phone now.
ReplyDeleteIf he would put out a better all around product I'm sure he would be a billionaire again.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, just chilling in my house enjoying my vacation.
ReplyDeleteHeyman or the Grantland guy?
ReplyDelete"No! We need more Cena!"
ReplyDeleteWas watching the news this morning and they were talking about a shooting at a club last night. I thought who in the hell goes to the club on Tuesdays?
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting on my ass playing F1 on the 360. Spa is an amazing track.
ReplyDeleteThe Grantland guy is just insufferable. He also totally brushes aside that Heyman, "face of the WWE" has pretty much failed with managing midcarders.
ReplyDeletethe grantland guy
ReplyDeleteand how many are buying Summerslam to see Heyman? Or ever bought one ticket to see him?
ReplyDeleteThe type of people that tend to be involved in shootings. I'm sure it was somehow drug related.
ReplyDeleteHe knows how to get the app on things.
ReplyDeleteNope not joking, CM Punk came by with a weird username about choking giraffes, proved it was him by showing off pics of him banging AJ then said in his spare time he's been reading the entire blog. He then called out Farva and asked if he was man enough to confront him now that he was here.
ReplyDeleteI won't go to any ESPN site.
ReplyDeletePlaying Twisted Metal and listening to old school Metal.
ReplyDeleteFkn' Philly weather... If Bumgarner gets pulled because of the rain, that's like losing a 2nd clean-up hitter..
ReplyDeletethis is true
ReplyDeleteWhat thread?l
ReplyDeleteIt's not all bad but you have to dig for the good stuff. Though I understand your reasoning.
ReplyDeleteTwisted Metal... Talk about feeling old, last time I played that you probably weren't even born yet.
ReplyDelete? Vince and Paul couldn't be further apart on how they see the wrestling business.
ReplyDeleteWatching the 2010 Royal Rumble and thinking ... Why is John Cena the only guy whose regular entrance has him running to the ring, but everybody in the Rumble runs to the ring?
ReplyDeleteparity in baseball: yay or nay?
ReplyDeleteBorn in 1996.
ReplyDeleteNBC Sports does ESPN.com better than ESPN, even if Florio can be insufferable. TSN is great for hockey news.
ReplyDeleteGrantland has good writers but too many of their pieces are writers trying to ape Simmons or long pieces that people decide are good because they are long.
Or writers just using stats to try to prove any point since Grantland has to be a "smart" site that believes in analytics.
I haven't been there since they changed their comments to Facebook out of protest.
ReplyDeleteare you serious?
ReplyDeleteThe thread called "The word gulable is not in the dictionary"
ReplyDeleteHe called him a business rival. He's not.
ReplyDeleteReds have lost 6 straight. Injuries suck.
ReplyDeleteNay
ReplyDeleteIf Wendy's had better fries I'd eat there more often.
ReplyDeleteI stick with Deadspin, Yahoo Sports, and the various sports' official websites.
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm 17.
ReplyDeleteWatched a bit of the game earlier. Brewers are still surprising me.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not Zach Lowe or Barnwell I usually pass. I can't even read Simmons anymore. Bad QB league was funny when Jacoby had it. Can't get with Andrew Sharp
ReplyDeleteOh god I remember that game, yeah you're probably right, I played Twisted Metal when I rented it when I was 12/13.
ReplyDeleteYea, those sites are good. Deadspin can be a bit too smug with their "This Is How You Think" or "Athlete Seen Drunk" posts but I like it, and they get some good stories.
ReplyDeleteYahoo has Woj, making their basketball stuff top notch.
I think the Cards are still taking the division. The Brewers schedule gets tougher in August and September. They'll be in the playoffs, though, and then FOX will try to tell us it's great because it's Bud Selig's last year and all.
ReplyDelete:facepalm:
ReplyDeleteYou got me Magoonie.
Barnwell is atrocious. I like Zach Lowe a lot but he spends too much time on twitter arguing with people.
ReplyDeleteHe was.
ReplyDeleteI hate Tuesday. Wednesday is just a day you have to push through to get near the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I swore you were at least a few years older. You did say you just started college so it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteJesus, you're closer in age to my niece than me.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'd go with STL as well. I just don't see the Brewers lasting.
ReplyDeleteVince McMahon was funding ECW. That's not a rivalry.
ReplyDeleteI was playing Head-on,this one reveals that Marcus Kane(driver of Roadkill) is Sweet Tooth.
ReplyDeleteHe is in Brazil, different ages I guess.
ReplyDeleteThey made at least 4 (plus countless knockoffs) for the PS1 alone.
ReplyDeleteI miss super teams myself. I can't get with all these teams playing .500 ball.
ReplyDeleteI started studying when I was 2 years old.
ReplyDeleteMe. And a whole bunch of other people if he keeps cutting promos like he did on Monday.
ReplyDeleteIt was annoying when I posted my magnum opus in response to Molly Lambert's absurd column comparing Woody Allen to R. Kelly that I got notification after notification.
ReplyDeleteI'd tell him to hold out for some kind of deal. Wait till they offer him a $25-$30 gift card or something.
ReplyDeleteYou sure you aren't from China.
ReplyDelete/shows self out now.
2 years old?!
ReplyDeleteSuper teams are good for the game's health sadly.
ReplyDeleteHow stupid are you?
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of rooting for the Rays to pull a miracle comeback in the AL East. I don't really think they'll get to the finish line, but it would be a helluva story to start the reason nearly 20 or so games out and then come back and win the division.
ReplyDeleteI learned how to read when I was 2.
ReplyDeleteI already knew how to write and read to my mom send me to pre-school.
ReplyDeleteJonah Keri is good for baseball.
ReplyDeleteThe expanded playoffs are awful and another black mark against Selig.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call him atrocious. He can be a bit much sometimes especially with the whole go for two thing but I like him. I'm not on twitter so I have no reason to hate Zach Lowe. He brings it every column.
ReplyDeleteYay, although not to the extent of .500 teams were getting this year. But I love that there's more variety in playoff teams in baseball than the other sports, ESPECIALLY the NBA.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a beer tonight.
ReplyDeleteThey're OK, but not as good as Burger King fries. I'll take those over hand-cut ones.
ReplyDeleteThey made that the characters were kids.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I've read him. Did he do the story on Mark Buerle(sp)?
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't "funding" ECW.
ReplyDeleteBetween the Voodoo doctors and farm animals that Maddon has been bringing in and the David Price trade rumors all season, it would be one hilarious story if they won the East.
ReplyDeleteHe gave Heyman exposure, let him use talent and gave the company money. That's not a rival.
ReplyDeleteNo, the Blue Jays, THEY suck.
ReplyDeleteHaha, oh yeah. I remember when they brought in the Native American dude to uncurse the field or something. That's some stuff right out of the film Major League.
ReplyDeleteWhat's really sad is that the Rays are a fun team, but Tampa Bay doesn't support them. Just ridiculous.
Lol at hating stats.
ReplyDeleteI disagree; Selig has a disgraceful resume but I like the wild card and now the one-game playoff that emphasizes winning the division, and can no longer coast into the playoffs as a WC.
ReplyDeleteThat said, no more teams should be added to the mix. This doesn't need to be the NBA or NHL where everyone gets in
Keri is good but he'll also lay on the obscure stats to prove a point and often I'm sitting there what he is talking about.
ReplyDeleteThat was happening no matter what.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Braves fan I will testify that the one game playoff is bullshit but it is exciting. Although, I miss the Yankees or whoever just steamrolling people
ReplyDelete?
ReplyDeleteI don't hate stats.
I'm watching Weird Science, awesome movie BUT why don't the two geeks fuck Lisa? Like how isn't their first order of buisness to take Lisa into the bedroom and just double team her? Also when the mutant biker dudes show up why doesn't Iron Man kick their asses? He just goes and hides in the closet!
ReplyDeleteTheir stadium is in the middle of nowhere right off a freeway exit.
ReplyDeleteWell, when one of your higher paid pitchers is a knuckleballer you are kind of asking for trouble sometimes. I would like to see the Jays get back to the playoffs because I always loved their uniforms as a kid.
ReplyDeleteBecause it was PG-13.
ReplyDeleteYou play 162 games for a one-game playoff? That's absurd.
ReplyDeletePlus you kind of have to expand the playoff when your league nearly doubles in size.
ReplyDeleteThat shit I found boring, as great as the Yankees and the Braves were.
ReplyDelete5, then.
ReplyDeleteThat game immediately proved that the one game playoff was a crock of shit. The Braves were 7 up on the Cards and the whole thing was bullshit
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad to see Kelly LeBrock today.
ReplyDeleteWatching HBK-Taker from WM 25
ReplyDeleteDamn you! (Shakes fist)
ReplyDeleteNo, it's a developmental territory, it pretty much replaced the USWA.
ReplyDeleteOh screw that, you just have them start making out with her pan away and then it's implied the next morning they wrecked her.
ReplyDeleteHave her walk with a limp for a bit.
ReplyDelete*****,it doesn't matter what Meltzer says.
ReplyDeleteI been watching MLB classics and things were still exciting the last few months of the season. It's just that less teams were involved in the pennant chase. There may have been 5 per league as opposed to the 25 that are alive now.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to look that up and kill my LNG standing crush on her. I also had a crush on Lisa from the TV show. The chick from Kingpin.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm a Jays fan, but they've shit the bed the last 6 weeks. They suck.
ReplyDeleteWin the division and it doesn't matter. Teams that finish second shouldn't be allowed to set their rotation and rest, etc. I'm all about winning the division or run that risk of being one-and-done .
ReplyDeleteSpaces after commas!
ReplyDeleteHe gave it ****3/4. I love how people are outraged about that.
And he also signed away their top guys right when the company was debuting a national TV show.
ReplyDeleteDitto.
ReplyDeleteI still have a crush on Lea Thompson and Ferry's Bueller's girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a jackass about it like a lot of guys are. I follow the SABR stuff (or used to, I don't realły keep up anymore) so I guess it doesn't bother me. He can weave a good story.
ReplyDeleteThen why do you hate a site that talks about it a lot?
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with just having division winners in the playoffs. But to play 162 games for it to come down to a one game playoff is ridiculous, especially in a sport like baseball. It makes the whole season pointless.
ReplyDeleteCorrect.
ReplyDeleteNo shame in that, they're both very attractive. That ever happened to Sloane, anyway?
ReplyDeleteHeyman was never a threat to WWE. He wasn't a rival to him. WCW was a threat.
ReplyDeleteI hate a site that will often use obscure stats in an attempt to prove a bullshit point. Barnwell does it all the time. Still waiting for the decline of the 49ers.
ReplyDeleteBetter Mania...XI or VI? I'd go XI.
ReplyDeleteIt is ridiculous.
ReplyDeletetear down the Trop. 90% of the problem solved right there
ReplyDeleteHe's good, but I'll read so and so has a .932 GLOOP and clearly he is a great player and I'm sitting there thinking- wait, what is GLOOP?
ReplyDeleteYes, I made that up
On the Network showing of the first The Main Event, they show the finish to Strike Force vs Hart Foundation match.
ReplyDeleteI've waited 26 1/2 years to see that finish.
Never in my life have I been so underwhelmed.
Well you can't have all division winners with a three team set up, but this puts a stop to Wild Card tanking, which is OK by me. And you can't do a series and have the winners get cold from that time off, plus pushing the season into mid November. This is fine.
ReplyDeleteIt's Wednesday, Snowflakes Day~!.. He may be adding to the list of ****3/4 matches after that AJ/Okada bout..
ReplyDeleteSTRONGHOLD~!
ReplyDeleteMy weird theory about Ferris Buellers Day Off, afterwards down the line Sloane and Cameron end up together.
ReplyDeleteHow?
ReplyDeleteB-movie hell. At least she showed her tits in them.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not. One game should not determine a baseball season. It's baseball!
ReplyDeleteA rival and a threat are two different things.
ReplyDeleteVI because its more memorable: Demolition's last tag team title win, Jake Roberts promo, Warrior over Hogan in their only WWF match, and Jesse Ventura bashing Dusty Rhodes & Sapphire in the mixed tag.
ReplyDeleteWhere no actor can escape.
ReplyDeleteTell those teams in the pre-wildcard days who lost divisions in a one-game playoff.
ReplyDeleteOdd sports stat: In the nearly 50 Super Bowls (this year will be 49, right?) no team has ever played one in their own stadium. Granted, 8 or so weren't played in NFL stadiums, but that's still nuts.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of an indictment of Miami and Los Angeles than anything because they've hosted a ton.
ReplyDeletethey rotate about 4 on the reg right? Seems New Orleans or Miami would hit on it by now.
ReplyDeleteMiami is still looking for Dan Marino's replacement.
ReplyDeleteECW was never competition to the WWF, they weren't rivals. As Curry said, ECW was a glorified developmental territory that happened to build a following
ReplyDeleteI don't even think an obscure stat exists. You can find out whatever you to on the internet.
ReplyDeleteAbout 8 or 10.
ReplyDeleteOn the surface yeah, but it's not like every team's had a chance, the same cities being in the running year after year
ReplyDeleteI always feel proud of myself when I have the top-rated comment on a Deadspin article, like I did last night on the story about Chase Headley's walk off
ReplyDeleteThat was because they were tied and they had no choice. I have no issue with that. When one team is 7 games above another team, a one game playoff is absurd. Especially with all that can happen in a game.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could approve as a change would be making the Wild Card BO3, one day game at the lower record team, then a DH at the higher record team if necessary (one would be, the second might not be.
ReplyDeleteGame 1
Travel (ONLY if Game 1 has to be at night, otherwise ignore)
Game 2-3 as a Day-Night.
Winner gets one travel day, then the Divisional series gets rolling.
I love the count-out spot from that match.
ReplyDeleteI hate how the sports media is a bunch of whinny bitches and demand it be in a warm weather climate or dome.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has lived in the same house for 30 years. Yet somehow my number on e memory of the TV room in the back is Demolitions 3rd title win live. No idea why.. Just childhood markism..
ReplyDeleteVI for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey whine on domes too. Last time they were in Minnesota, NYC sports radio bitched up a storm
ReplyDeleteJust ask Val Kilmer
ReplyDeleteSo do I, but I totally understand why the league insists on it.
ReplyDeleteThe Super Bowl isn't about football though. Got to make sure travel and stuff is right. It's about the best accommodations, sadly.
ReplyDeleteThere are still some stats Barnwell and Keri use that feel like a different language. I'm still trying to figure out Corsi and Fenwick, I just know the Leafs are really really bad at them
ReplyDeleteWhat's good in the hood?
ReplyDeleteIt's a Midwest thang and I ain't got a clue. Does anyone else have a clue why the Cutlass is blue? I could never figure it out.
ReplyDeleteYOU WANNA GET ROLLED ON HOMEBOY? I'MA BREAK YOUR LEG AND KICK YOUR ASS WITH IT! WORD! JAYUH!
ReplyDeleteFrom Batman to some supporting role in B-movie hell.
ReplyDeletePlus, Florida is 100% a football state, they couldn't give a shit about any other sports teams
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember who got the closest... hell, has a team even made their conference title game in that year?
ReplyDeleteNOOOO. I googled it! Why did I do that? Gonna go cry myself to sleep now.
ReplyDeleteWhen WWE writes about this current era in its history, will it be known as the Cena era or the Cena-Orton era? (Not looking for the official name, but which wrestler/s will be most associated with it.)
ReplyDeleteYeah. Even if we built a dome here this city just isn't big enough for that kind of circus.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves better, he was Doc Holliday!
ReplyDeletepg era
ReplyDeleteWhen did the WWF tilt the logo for the new gen era? I'm watching from Feb 1995 and it's still angled normally.
ReplyDeleteEw, Nelly.
ReplyDeleteCharles Dickens will write the first sentence: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
ReplyDeleteIt's happened recently. Some NFC south team, can't remember which one.
ReplyDelete
