Sign I'm a wrestling fan: I'm watching wrestling shows from 17 years ago, but when they show an ad saying Wrestlemania is just 4 weeks away, I still get a little excited.
It's not a FT thing, it just breaks the flow of the game in a non-basketball way. They should handle it the same way they do in the last two minutes (a rule change that they did in the 60s back when it was dumb then too) in the last two minutes, two shots for any shooter on the floor and the ball.
On my way to pick up my super healthy dinner (cheese fries), I passed a house that featured a game of beer pong, several bottles of wine, many loud people, and SCREAMING toddlers.
Kevin Nash has done a lot of great things in his career so it's hard to know exactly what his legacy will or should be. If you ask me his legacy can be summed up in one statement: "I'm the shit I'm tellin' ya!"
Just read that LuFisto has applied for Tough Enough. Interesting. I mean, by all rights she should have been tearing shit up on the main roster YEARS ago, along with Del Rey and Blue Pants and The Canadian Ninjas. But, WWE being WWE, they would rather have women who look like Penthouse Pets and can't wrestle a goddamn lick.
While on the subject of defining legacies in a single glorious moment, my boy Mr. RKO's legacy of course will be his classic rant on the fan demanding the referee ring the bell.
"Ring the bell!? You kidding me? Ring the bell?! It's No DQ! There's no bell to ring! *prepares to suplex Bryan* YOU DID THIS! *suplexes Bryan then points at the fan* YOU!"
The Sports Guy is just completely mailing it in. I just go to Grantland out of habit now. It's all mostly crap. Masked Man even dropped a jewel the other day stating there was nothing to complain about. da heel?
One can only hope. They won the series that year. They are getting their asses beat for the 4th straight time in epic fashion. Currently 9-1. Against the INDIANS.
that team never gets any love. 35-5 is crazy. They had a pretty stacked team too. guess what hurts is that they were just one year wonders. Think they won the east again in 87 but that was about it.
It was. That team was deep and talented at every position; all hitting their stride together. And led by a competent NL reliever that was Cy Young and MVP.
I've heard mainstream sports announcers use it too, and I don't think they got it from wrestling. Just kinda took on a life of it's own in the sports world.
Not sure if you are a rap fan but remember back in the early 90s when the west coast guys would call people a mark? I want to hope that gangster rappers stole a term from wrestling.
Sign that pretty much every guy in my age group is influenced my wrestling: I've never heard anyone I know call a big video screen anything other than a "titantron."
He wrote a column slobbering over some kid named "Earl Sweatshirt". I've never heard of the guy and not even sure why I read the article, but it's horribleness did not disappoint.
I watched the "REG-GIE" game on youtube not too long ago. Reggie hit 3 homeruns on THREE pitches. I can understand the first two but why was the ball anywhere near the strike zone on the third at-bat?
Dancing knuckleball that Reggie got ahold of and buried in the black seats at old Yankee Stadium; only a handful of players did that. And on Opening Day in 1978, Reggie's first swing of the season was a home run too. Off a left handed knuckleball Wilbur Wood. He was the man!
When I was a kid he was playing out the string in California so I didn't get the big deal. Going back watching his prime and yeah, he was on another level.
I've decided that Market Bistro by Price Chopper is the new best grocery store. Better produce, low prices, and a better selection than the regular Chopper. Huge organic section and bakery as well.
Sign I'm a wrestling fan, anytime something cool happens in a nostalgic type of way in TV and film, the first thing that comes to mind is "I'm marking out bro!".
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the Angels would not receive a player in return in the rumored Josh Hamilton deal, it would strictly be for cash considerations.
It looks like it will be a move strictly to get Hamilton out of Los Angeles and back in Texas where he flourished in the past. The Rangers are expected to pay less than $15 million of the $80 million remaining on Hamilton's deal through the 2017 season. Rosenthal cautions that there are still several hurdles to clear and the talks could still fall apart, it isn't yet a done deal.
...I'd say fuck the Angels in this but kinda a decent move by them, send him back where he has a small chance of not dying in the next year or two and eat most of his salary in the process
I told a friend how it's funny seeing him mark out over the new Star Wars trailer, then I had to spend five minutes explaining what marking out meant. Why hasn't this term entered the mainstream yet? Especially with all the comic, sci-fi, GoT nerds about.

remaining on Hamilton's deal through the 2017 season. Rosenthal
cautions that there are still several hurdles to clear and the talks
could still fall apart, it isn't yet a done deal.
