  1. You keep leaving me off the list. hold a spot for me, I gotta get my new card hooked to paypal.
  2. Wow, lots of people here dont like the newspaper? I wouldnt steal someones paper, but absolutely loved it when the common area had one on the table.
  3. Tensai is terrible, but seeing Cesaro hit the Neutralizer on him would be a sight to see. He is mobile enough that Cesaro could carry the match and Tensai could make it look believable opposed to a match versus Khali.
  4. Looks like it was Baretta who started the "Kofi is an asshole" thing, as the two of them are actually good friends and joke all the time on twitter. Dont know if Morrison tweeted it as well or Ryan got his info wrong, or maybe JOMO really hates Kofi.
  5. I wouldnt have Cesaro feud with either one of those guys just because they are trying to push Del Rio as the new mexican face star, and they want to push Barrett as a monster heel. Cesaro would only be fed to them and not be allowed to have a great feud where they trade wins. While it would be entertaining if they did it, we know that it would never happen. Cesaro should hold on the belt and feed him people that can show his strength off, like Brodus, Tensai and the like. Then feed him someone like Rhodes' size and talent, that he can destroy with his uppercut. God it is a thing of beauty.
  6. I really liked the roster too. I liked the New Breed vs the Originals and wish they did more with it. Yeah they had some crap talent on ECW, but they also had a lot of young hungry talent fighting to make a name for themselves. Miz/Morrison were a great team, MAtt Hardy was putting on great matches (what?) Punk, Burke, Kofi all fighting to make a name for themselves. Why would Cesaro vow revenge on America and then feud with one of two non americans?
  7. I bought a 2008 Phillies World champs shirt that on the back had the jerseys of all the players on the playoff roster, I thought it was a pretty neat take on it. I also bought the dvd set of all WS games and the clinching games against the Brewers and Dodgers. I still take such great pride in the fact that Matt Stairs homer completely ruined Broxton's career.
  8. Kofi is an asshole really means "he wouldn't bang Melina while I watched". I have always thought Morrison was a bad wrestler but a great "mover". He could pull off incredible looking things, but in the span of a match they had no place and never looked like they would even hurt the other guy. Yeah the Starship Pain looked cool, but he never really hit the opponent, and when he did Im still not sure how it was supposed to hurt him. Kofi at least can make a few things look like a wrestling move and not some ballet moves like JoMo. I will say this about The Tuesday Night Delight, he had the most amazing abs of any wrestler.
  9. Count me in with the people who got a bad taste in their mouth from Daytrotter. I got the JTE/Dawes one since JTE is one of my favorite artists and instead of taking one of his two sessions, they just took some songs from both and slapped them on. They said you could only get it from them and only for14 days, yet still sell it, Dawes sells it (much cheaper) Bloodshot sells it(much cheaper and who I would much rather support), the labels on the record are wrong (seriously when paying 26 dollars for a record with no insert and a cheap cover, what the fuck is the money going to? Get the fucking labels right at least) and when I emailed them about many others receiving their copy and me still not receiving mine about a month ago I am still waiting to hear back. I really wish I could get my money back and just give it to the artist who deserves it.
  10. Speaking of players that wont do nearly as good in Seattle cause no one else will be around them...
  11. What the fuck does that have to do with a fish with whiskers?
  12. I wish he didnt have Carlton Banks' hair. I keep waiting for him to bust out in his dance.
  13. Anyone else think it is time for Cody to bring back his grooming tips? Those were fucking hilarious and would go great with the stache.
  14. I guess as you age you lose your desire to see a man suck off another man on stage while playing music
  15. How expensive is shit? Does the amount of corn/ float or non floating aspect increase the price?
  16. I will say that I have no ill will towards Scott. We butt heads from time to time on here, but hell who doesnt? Some days he comes off as a prick, other days he comes off cool. All in all, I enjoy talking wrestling with him, and if I ran into him at a show I would stop and chat with him no problem. I just hate the holier than thou shit he pulls from time to time.
  17. Majored in human services to be an addiction counselor. Took as many law courses as I could that came from family violence though and volunteer at my local rape crisis center. A large number of my friends work within the family violence field, being ADA's, lawmakers, head of shelters, programs etc.
  18. Fuck, he is making 16 mill next year? Damn that is a lot! I agree with you that he was certainly worth the 6 mill he got for last year, by and large good numbers and cant complain about that at all for that price, but to put up those numbers (or presumably worse ones when he will be 36) when making 16 mill a year? Terrible decision, but what can I say, my team is paying Ryan Howard 25 million a year to hit 30 home runs and .250 and not figure out how to hit to the opposite field. I sometimes wonder how the hell these people get to the top of the ladder and run a team.
  19. I look at Hart the same way as I look at Scottie Pippen. I dont want him to be my star, but he is a hell of an underrated complimentary player. Having Hart hitting 4th on the Mariners is a terrible idea, but having him teamed with a bigger threat like a Braun/Fielder/Pujols/ etc type and he will be worth more than the 10 mil.
  20. I dont think it is as much as the level of violence (though the more violent can help, but as you see later on still wont guarantee anything). It comes down to the victim wanting to testify and have their life picked apart by the defense for everything that could be considered questionable in their past. Did they ever have a one night stand before? Are they a couple and he has power over her and beats her into silence(happens way more than you think)? Can they prove that it wasnt consensual? All the defendant has to say is "she said she wanted to" and she will need to provide evidence/witnesses that she said no, told him to stop, etc. Without that, he can and will say she likes it rough, hard, slapped around etc. Without an eye witness to see it or video/audio recording of it happening it is damn hard to prove. Also, plea deals will be accepted to save the victim going to court and having it all out in the open, but the defendant will plead to aggravated assault or gross misconduct or other misdemeanors and petty fines. Also, the defendant is provided free legal council while the victim usually isnt (unless they can get someone to take it pro bono).
  21. For some reason I was thinking Hart went to Pittsburgh, yes he totally deserves it and is an underrated player. Weeks is not worth it in my eyes, he is too old, waaay too streaky and will hurt you much much more than help you win a game. A-Ram is not the player he used to be. It seems like players hit a certain point in their career and think they can never go below a certain price frame. Yes, he was good 6 years ago, but now he should not be making more than 7 mill a year at all. You wouldnt pay a guy fresh out of AAA to put up those numbers why should you pay a guy on the decline to put up those numbers? I think a 25 year old player with power potential will have a better shot at beating his projections than an aging player with a swing that is slowing. You could make the argument of "leadership" and "club house presence" but I dont think there is really any way to put that into a tangible thing that you can break down on the pay scale. How much does leadership get you in wins or developing young players? Im not saying you shouldnt pay for it, just that I have no idea how to figure out what you should pay for it.
  22. Travis isnt going around making threads to have us all ask him questions about HT. I personally hate HT and dont buy from them, but Travis is also a good dude who works there. I put HT and Alt Press on the same level of shittiness, but at least Travis is a great guy who isnt looking for attention that he works there while Scott will drop this knowledge every few months. AND he calls out Allison for making a "look at me thread" and then does the same thing with this, after no one cared about the idea when he mentioned it in another thread. We get it Scott, you work for a crappy mag, get to write crappy reviews about crappy music and get a few perks out of the system. I used to work for T-Mobile and got free smartphones, free internet, free messages and 2000 minutes for 5 bucks a month, you dont see me making topics about how cool I am to get such awesome deals on that shit.
  23. I didnt know they were working in the red and that their budget was 98 mill. That is nuts to think about how they got so much tied into players that arent worth that much. Besides Braun and Yovanni they dont have anyone that should really be making 10 mil a year.
  24. What the hell is the Brewers doing with their money? I am sure they made some decent money at the park and on merch for Fielder and Braun, but shit, they cant get a decent team around them/him now. Do they care about winning at all or are they like the Red Sox and just care about ratings now?
