I'll state that this weekend in sports sucked and it was probably the slowest all year. I'll put something in here about Pat Riley, Ron Artest and a small something on Reggie Bush.
That bolded quote is definitely a major ouch. Jermaine went to bat for Ron in the brawl last season, ao that's definitely a strong statement coming from JO.
Seeing as Ron doesn't want to go out West, I think it's going to be very difficult for the Pacers to find a place to accomodate him. I'm loo
Baez.
I guess he's the Dodger closer for right now, and with the way he pitched tonight, it's not something the Dodgers need to worry about. Hong-Chih Kuo could be a good setup guy, because he has pretty good control. The Dodger starting pitching will be the downfall of this team, and Tomko isn't very good. At all.
The injury situation for LA is not good right now. Kent has an elbow problem that he's playing through, Furcal has a messed up shin, and Nomar is Nomar. If Drew stays h
That game was a fucking gutwrencher.
I DID NOT WANT THIS SERIES TO GO TO A GAME 7.
Sure, I predicted the Lakers to win in 7, but there's no way in fuck that I wanted that to be the situation that the Lakers were faced with. Game 7 is going to have humongous ratings, and the league will be pissing their pants when they get the Nielsen number.
I hate Smush Parker, and he can sit right on the end of that bench with that little queer smile and fucking line that runs down the middle o
I said I would do this Monday. Then I said I would do this Tuesday.
It's neither of those days, but I'm going to do this right now.
From Chicago, Illinois. First set are in the West Region, 2nd set are in the Midwest Region.
(1) KU (30-4) vs. (16) Niagara (23-11). I have this feeling that Kansas is going to lose early, but with the matchups placed in their path, I can't really see a team that's going to be able to handle them. I haven't been sold on Va. Tech all season. Th
I knew the lack of upsets would benefit the entertainment value of the tournament in the long run. And oh man, was I ever right.
(1) Buckeyes vs. (9) X. My predictions were sorta off today, but most of the losing teams did what I said they could. Xavier played exactly how I said they would play. I thought Oden should have received the intentional foul to end the game, but I AM kinda biased against Ohio State. Those Xavier kids should hold their heads up high, they left it all out on
1. Kansas v. 8 Kentucky. Kansas dominated. Didn't see any of it, and didn't want to, what with the thrashing that Southern Cal gave those Texas faggots.
2. Wisconsin v. 7 UNLV. UNLV brung the cool shit here. Awesome win, even better pick on my end. UNLV's got a GREAT chance to get to the Elite Eight, and a decent chance of getting to the Final Four. They can play.
1. Florida v. 9 Purdue. Nothing unexpected. Florida can turn it on at will.
(2) Memphis vs. (7) Nevada. I was o
Yeah, Phil made the big guy cry. Holy Christ, this is like, the last problem the team needs. I'm gonna blame big PJ and Kobe on that one, because at some point you've gotta stop tearing into the guy. At least we've had other guys that cried on the court.
He turned out ok. The only bad part about this, is that in Laker Nation, it has totally made everyone forget that we won. All I know is, I saw Bynum tell Kobe "fuck you". Big no-no.
See for yourself.
I was gonna
THURSDAY
Southern Illinois vs. Kansas, 7:10/4:10 PM. Not too sure about this one, considering that Kansas hasn't been challenged so far this tournament. The Salukis looked good against Va. Tech, but I thought that a lot of teams would look good against the Hokies, so it's sorta misleading. I GUESS I'll pick the Jayhawks by eh, 10.
Texas A&M vs. Memphis, 7:27/4:27 PM. No Chris Douglas-Roberts makes this pick really, really easy. And even if CDR does play, he won't be the same p
I was surfin' the net cause I'm bored, and I came across some dumbass shit that George Karl said. I only take this sports shit so seriously because it's a release from the real world, and honestly, I have enough shit to worry about in real life. I like piling more shit up, and I need something else to worry about. SOOOOO
Hey George, call me when you win something. LOLZ
Seriously though, the guy needs to worry about his own team. If my team was in such a shitty state that the N
Since I watch a lot of soccer, and there was another round of Euro 2008 qualifiers today, I thought that I should post this, as it will tie in with what I was gonna blog today.
Now, as someone that's followed the beautiful game (fuck you guys that dissent or call that a faggot name, it is) for a while, this came as a shock. Serbia and Montenegro qualified for the World Cup that took place last year in Germany. However, after the World Cup, the football federations peacefully split, ju
The US won 3-1 today against Ecuador. I thought the team looked like crap in the first half, but came out to play in the second half. It was the Landon Donovan show out there, as his hat-trick performance obviously shows. The attendance at the game was in the 31,000 range, and most of the fans were American, so FINALLY the USMNT is starting to drum up some support. The only unfortunate part about this is that support should have been drummed up after we got to the Quarterfinals of the 02 WC,
The game's going on as I write this, so some of my opinions that I type before the end will stay unedited, and be commented on later in the entry.
Kobe's only got 18 points on 6 of 24 shooting, but it's ok because he can't be Superman every night. Kwame got rested because the hamstring was acting up, so Bynum got the start tonight.
Gotta post this now before it changes, as it's the weirdest shit I've ever seen.
The number is minutes played, and honest to God, as a lifelong
In case you're wondering why I'm posting a review of some rasslin' shit, it's because I actually started watching it again. No, not the current WWE product. I couldn't watch that shit if I tried. Rather, their 24/7 on demand channel. I never thought I'd watch wrestling again, but I got sucked back in. Once my cable company picked up this channel, I couldn't help it.
I'm reviewing this stuff mainly for my own amusement, but also for those that don't have the channel and haven't seen t
Wow, this is older than me. Full review this time, and if I'm feelin' it, same for One Night Only tomorrow or Tuesday. If I'm not feelin' it, a truncated version will have to do.
Gorilla and Jesse on commentary, thank goodness. Can't stand when they edit Jesse out of these...
1st match, "Leaping" Lanny Poffo v. Iron Mike Sharpe.
Prematch: ....
Blow-by blow: Sharpe wants the ring announcer to introduce him as the Best Canadian something or other, so they re-do his ring entr
I'm not too happy with the Bengals losing right now, so here goes something to get that off my mind. The bolded are always the title matches, if that's what you're interested in.
We start off with a video package narrated by Jim Ross, it's about Bulldog's career accomplishments, and it shows the finish to Bret/Bulldog at Summerslam 92. Good stuff.
On commentary are the Three Stooges, Vince, JR, and Lawler. Can't stand Vince commentated shows, but since I'm reviewing, my mind is hard
Playoffs start tomorrow. The Angels will win the World Series.
They skipped a week of NWA, I'm not going to complain, as the "main" was Krusher Khrushchev vs. Pez Whatley, for the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Title.
The program starts off with some Dusty moments from the past, haha, then Dusty's in LIVE AND LIVING COLOR BRUDDA. Hey... He looks to be in pretty good shape, for Dusty anyway. Doesn't look like he's aged much at all.
Then the geniuses in the 24/7 department flashback
The Angels lost today. GOOD.
A flashback to Wrestlemania 13 starts things off, where The Undertaker pinned Sycho Sid in one of the worst WWF main events I've ever seen. One of these days, I'll review it. Have I mentioned I love the entrance to Raw, with the warehouse and that cool song?
The Three Stooges say that the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Title is...MANKIND! He and The Undertaker do battle at IYH: Revenge of the Taker, and that can be seen
Waiting for the Kings to restart their season after the London trip really sucks, I just want to see my team play some games.
We're live (not) from Duluth, and Larry the Ax Hennig is there. I don't know why the guys so overdressed for the occasion, but whatever.
The first match is for the US Title, it's the challenger, Konan v. DEAN MALENKO. I don't know why Konnan is billed as Konan, but regardless, the match begins. The Dungeon of Doom guys were OVER as babyfaces, I've got
I'm bored, so I'll type this out now, instead of later. I far prefer the one hour shows as opposed to the 2 and 3 hour ones, because it's easier to review them.
From the Sportatorium in Dallas, this is World Class Championship Wrestling. Yadayadayada, the host is Bill Mercer.
We start with Brian Adias vs. Buddy Roberts of the Fabulous Freebirds, Michael Hayes is at ringside. This is right after the angle where the Freebirds slammed Kerry Von Erich's head with the steel cage door,
Easy, short reviews here, so I'll get them out quick. The Kings need a win tonight, so hopefully posting this on the same day will bring a victory to Los Angeles. Each section is denoted in bold.
Mad Dog Vachon
Vachon attacks Joe LeDuc at the start of this clip, so LeDuc does a bladejob to go with the cast on his arm. Once things settle down, Vachon beats up some jobber, cobra clutches him and LeDuc is back and bandaged up.... He gets his revenge and shit. Then Baron von Raschke a
I typed this out last night, and decided to post it today. So, here.

We start in the studio, with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan.
Before we go to the first match (when I say we, I mean us, the viewers) there's a Bigelow vignette that shows the tattoos on his head and that he looks like a rough and tumble, mean son of a bitch.
Sivi Afi v. Macho Man Randy Savage. Savage is my favorite wrestler, so if it ever seems like there's any bias toward him, well,
Back to the PPV-ish review system we go...
Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan and Lord Alfred Hayes are on commentary.
___________________
The first match, is The Berzerker vs. Jim Brunzell.
Prematch: Huss, huss, huss, huss, huss, huss...and Brunzell looks strange not being a part of the Killer Bees.
Blow-by-blow: Brunzell gives Berzerker a monkeyflip and an atomic drop, then Berzerker counters with a boot to the head. Berzerker chop, jumping boot (weird move), and then T
Ok, before I start, I'll throw out a few snowflakes for the matches in the first two parts of the DVD.
SPOILERS
The Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan, from Survivor Series 1991: 1/2*. Junk.
Yokozuna beat The Undertaker in a casket match, from Royal Rumble 1994: Complete and utter trash. -***** for the whole thing, just -****1/2 for the actual match. Having all those guys come in the match gave a reason for UT's long hiatus. That was the first wrestling match I watched. Yeah, no
I'm eagerly awaiting this one, and the reasons are obvious. The midget match is cut out, and that's good. I don't want to watch that trash. The prematch section is gone forever. It'll be integrated into the regular review of the match.
