Tonight, the Patriots take on the Chargers in the Sunday Night Game. There is also games in the NBA and NHL and as usual, talk about anything else going on tonight here.
Can't believe the Chargers have a huge game tonight; busting out the powder blue Rivers jersey for this one.
And with my fantasy matchup pretty much going in the L column -- unless Brady & Gronk can outscore Julius Thomas by 48 -- I can root for my squad guilt-free.
WOOOOOOO! It's sad but I haven't felt this good about the result of a football game in ages. Raiders! Everyone have a blessed night, you're all great people.
With the Gimmick PPV in a weeks time. Whats your favourite (or just any decent) match using any of the below gimmicks? Blindfold Match Scaffold Match Weapon On A Pole Match Lumberjack Match
Yeah, I think WWE expects Ziggler to win this award--I don't think they'll be upset about these tweets. No doubt they'll find other reasons not to push him...but this isn't it.
No, the point is *no one* is getting pushed. We keep having this argument: just because you are on TV--even in the main event--doesn't constitute a push. It just means creative has decided to use him. A push would be Ziggler being the focus of a story, allowed time to cut promos, actually DO SOMETHING other than stand next to John Cena while he does all the talking.
I like what Punk said. He's either going in there to kick ass or get his ass kicked. He knows that he might be too old and worn down to be truly successful in the UFC but at least he's got the heart to try. Good news in my books.
The girl got H-Bombed and there was blood all over the walls in the hotel hallway and somehow Tatanka got blamed for it, despite having alibi's at the time. It was rumored to be Del Ray.
So, at the risk of pissing off hardcore UFC/MMA fans: wouldn't it be better for all involved for Dana White to feed Punk a tomato can for his first fight? Because if the plan is to get disgruntled wrestling fans to tune in for his bouts, how likely are they to tune in for subsequent ones if he gets destroyed his first time out? I'm not saying an outright fix should be in, but wouldn't it make business sense to do everything in their power to make sure Punk looks good?
I think Dana basically said that they'd be doing something like that. Giving him a no-name opponent who's been in one or two fights. Like Batista's fight, although this is obviously on a much bigger stage.
Jobber Deaths Don't = Ratings... especially when this flock of fans accept the speculation from the mid 90's rape accusations. I've never read much into it and there's very little details out there other than the basic jiff. I've read Stan Lane's name thrown in there, too.
I could be way off, but maybe it's Joey Styles and the .com staff giving an honest thank you to one of their favourite wrestlers, outside of any corporate direction from above.
No. In both cases you're expecting a kindness (In one case an apology, in the other a gift) even after the relationship (In one case a working relationship, in the other a romantic one) is over and there is no reasonable expectation that the kindness should be offered.
"Hey Vince, I just thought that maybe we could do a nostalgia run and I could maybe mentor some of your younger guys, also, are you gonna suck my dick or what?"
That's one night. They used him for a specific task one night. His status in the company and position on the roster has not subsequently changed. A "push" means you are being elevated. He is not being elevated.
For anyone who thinks MMA is nothing but dudes dry humping each other, they haven't seen anything yet. Brooks won't only get his ass kicked, he'll get his salad tossed and made into MMA' s bitch in the process. Apparently, every MMA fighter with a Twitter account wants a piece of him and make an example out of him.
Pats 76 Chargers 12

Chip Kelly is a "genius" when he plays bad teams, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOO! It's sad but I haven't felt this good about the result of a football game in ages. Raiders! Everyone have a blessed night, you're all great people.
ReplyDeleteBest win percentage in NFL history in December: #1 Rivers, #2 Brady.
ReplyDeleteLeVeon Bell killed my fantasy season. He's the Wil Wheaton to my Sheldon.
ReplyDeleteI hate the 49ers so congratulations. I look forward to reading the blotter.
ReplyDeleteKaepernick is awful and their coach may be fired tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBest win PCT of all time: Brady.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the Chiefs' wide receivers haven't went off this season. Has to be frustrating.
ReplyDeleteWatching Kaepernick get sacked makes me too happy
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, they kinda suck as well, so they can't say shit.
ReplyDeleteSeattle (healthy) is still the best NFL team.
ReplyDeleteLot more wise guys than usual around here lately.
ReplyDeletePackers at home are the best team. Pats best overall. Hawks playing the best right now.
ReplyDeleteWith the Gimmick PPV in a weeks time. Whats your favourite (or just any decent) match using any of the below gimmicks?
ReplyDeleteBlindfold Match
Scaffold Match
Weapon On A Pole Match
Lumberjack Match
Lumberjack. Great old school stip.
ReplyDeletePats are undefeated at home too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm more than aware of his role. I'm just beating a dead horse that the right always uses.
ReplyDeleteVince comes out to "Cult of Personality" tomorrow at 8:01
ReplyDelete....Well SOMEONE has to use the song. We paid for it.
I spaced on Candido. Thought you were referring to Stan Lane for a second.
ReplyDeletePinning Joey Mercury in a tag match isn't a push.
ReplyDelete.... So Cena is buried too, cause he didn't get to pin Mercury? I mean seriously, come on....
ReplyDeleteUndertaker will be there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think WWE expects Ziggler to win this award--I don't think they'll be upset about these tweets. No doubt they'll find other reasons not to push him...but this isn't it.
ReplyDeleteNo, they could easily ignore it. Social media bombardment is pretty ignorable.
ReplyDeleteNow the question remains whether this is "a subtle fuck you" or taking the high road.
No, the point is *no one* is getting pushed. We keep having this argument: just because you are on TV--even in the main event--doesn't constitute a push.

ReplyDeleteNo Ziggler promos for me, thanks …

ReplyDeleteAnd that's precisely what happened.
ReplyDeleteHe said bulletproof OR stupid...
ReplyDeleteoh, wait.
She looks better in less.
ReplyDeleteZiggler is gonna recreate the JUST BLEED guy with PUNK RULES instead.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
ReplyDeleteIt's not how you intend it, though. It's how others take it. I don't think Ziggler intended to torpedo himself when he shittalked Total Divas.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're right, but man, after the Cesaro thing, I'd avoid shading Cena at all like the fucking plague.
We can't win!
ReplyDeleteThe Gigolo? Say it a'int so!
ReplyDeleteYes.

ReplyDeleteGuess he wasn't much of a doctor after all.
ReplyDeleteHis stuff was state of the art for its time. He just lacked the look of an athlete.
ReplyDeleteThat was the first I recall of ever hearing about the incident, although Nash didn't seem to be too outraged by the entire incident.
ReplyDeleteIf he loses to this Power Ranger guy, it's all over
ReplyDeleteGosh, poor you.
ReplyDeleteI think Dana basically said that they'd be doing something like that. Giving him a no-name opponent who's been in one or two fights. Like Batista's fight, although this is obviously on a much bigger stage.
ReplyDeleteWhy you gotta bring Kenan Thompson into this?!
ReplyDeleteMost of them have around 10 years between the pictures lol
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't even make sense. The analogy you're looking for is an ex apologizing to you on St Valentines day.
ReplyDeleteXgore_mongerX
ReplyDelete#marilyn was right, diamonds must be a girls best friend, because im sure not :'(

Lane was probably just jealous.
ReplyDeletehttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EuV_HHFqxFg
ReplyDeleteYou mean, "We'll send you some Z-Paks".
ReplyDeleteThis is the lowest comment drawing wrestling death yet.c
ReplyDeleteThey always blame the Indian.
ReplyDeleteTommy ain't got nothing on John Cena.
ReplyDeleteThat John Cena guy should main event more.

ReplyDeleteCM PUNK VS THE GREEN RANGER....BOOK IT NOW
ReplyDeleteDon't think it's a subtle fuck you, just because Vince is incapable of doing anything subtle.
ReplyDeletePenis into vagina connections?
ReplyDeleteI could be way off, but maybe it's Joey Styles and the .com staff giving an honest thank you to one of their favourite wrestlers, outside of any corporate direction from above.
ReplyDeleteHe should dress up as the Red Ranger
ReplyDeleteWow, Punk really wanted those mma promotional shorts eh?
ReplyDeleteWhen its the Main event of raw, and it comes 24 hours after being the sole survivor and eliminating 3 people in a Survivor Series main event it is.
ReplyDeleteSo... Kane is getting a push too, because he was in Survivor Series main event, and the main event of RAW eight days later?
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously a middle finger from Vince/HHH. Punk hates it when people refer to him as Phil.
ReplyDeleteThere's no potential fan backlash if you get fired.
ReplyDeleteTold you they'd remember the Alamo.
ReplyDeleteNo. In both cases you're expecting a kindness (In one case an apology, in the other a gift) even after the relationship (In one case a working relationship, in the other a romantic one) is over and there is no reasonable expectation that the kindness should be offered.
ReplyDeleteIt seems weird that I have to explain that
How much is expected buzz for Punk?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'd look good out of it too.
ReplyDelete"Hey Vince, I just thought that maybe we could do a nostalgia run and I could maybe mentor some of your younger guys, also, are you gonna suck my dick or what?"
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck was there blood?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen Nash get outraged or upset at anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat else was he supposed to apologize for?
ReplyDeleteThere's every chance.
ReplyDeleteKnowing the history of the company (Read: Vince and HHH), I think you're probably off. But it would be nice if they did.
ReplyDeleteWhat in gods name are you fucking talking about? They fucked with his health and fired him on his wedding day. On what planet is that ok?
ReplyDeleteI'm of the mind that Ziggler thinks he's way funnier than he actually is
ReplyDeleteand then we get GSP/Silva.
ReplyDeleteHey, a man can dream.
Save hour breath this creepy dude is really out there, so far gone it'd be a miracle if he's touched a boob yet.
ReplyDeleteEarth.
ReplyDeleteNO ITS NOT ITS PETTY AND VINDICTIVE!!!! HOW DARE WWE WISH ANYONE WELL!!!
ReplyDeleteUh no. Notice the parts of my post about "winning" and "eliminating 3 people."
ReplyDeleteReally? There's been two Ultimate Fighter seasons with women and they were presented a lot better than the women are on Total Divas.
ReplyDeleteThat's one night. They used him for a specific task one night. His status in the company and position on the roster has not subsequently changed. A "push" means you are being elevated. He is not being elevated.
ReplyDeleteOh shit you zinged me good.
ReplyDeleteTruth hurts.
ReplyDeleteWell if that wasnt a push, then WWE is being run by monkeys with typewriters.
ReplyDeletePoo-flinging monkeys. They call the poo "RAW".
ReplyDeleteAtleast we get a chance at seeing Punk getting color
ReplyDeleteTechnically, what he really said isn't as brash you make it seem. He said, "I'm here to win or to get my ass kicked."
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who thinks MMA is nothing but dudes dry humping each other, they haven't seen anything yet. Brooks won't only get his ass kicked, he'll get his salad tossed and made into MMA' s bitch in the process.
