I think the thing is that they front-loaded a lot of the story to draw new viewers in before they go on break for the MLB playoffs...

0-1 Woohoo?

Here's the thing - Rashad has the ability to make anybody look bad against him. He's a quick guy and he's shown that he's got some pretty good takedowns. But he's shown nothing beyond that so he relies on LnP to get the win. It's hard to make a fight exciting when the other guy's all about the dry humping.

You know, I just realized that one of the major things I love about talking sports with Michiganders(?) is that when you say "Barry" it means Sanders, not Bonds. I actually didn't even realize that we did it here until rereading this.

I swore off baseball after the strike. That managed to last until this year, when my brothers and I bought into the Jays' "81 for $81" promotion.

I find it tough you can love three teams per sport. For me, I find it tough to love more than one team per sport. I love the Cubs (ugh), but I like the Indians and A's, too. That doesn't mean I'm getting too upset or happy if those last two win or lose. As for me, I curse that 1994 summer day when I came across WGN. Truth be told, I had only took an interest in baseball because of Frank Thomas and wound up watching my first Cubs game just to hold me over until I could watch Frank Thomas and the Sox play later. *cringe* I need a shower. Alrighty then, I LOVE Detroit teams and LIKE the other teams. I'm not sure that's good enough in a couple of cases. If you're a fan of an Original Six team then you really shouldn't be rooting for anyone else. You should be a Red Wings fan, period. For similar reasons, you should either be a Tigers fan or a Red Sox fan. As for the NFL, from previously living in the Detroit area I have some former colleagues who renounced their allegiance after the Barry retiring/Matt Millen double whammy (yes, I know it didn't happen at the same time but it was a cumulative thing). I think they may have even been part of the Millen Man March. I'd suggest you do the same and pick one of the other teams.

There's that Ringo variant cover for "The Other" as well...

I'd look into McFarlane's Spider-Man #1 cover, although that one a) might take a while to do, b) might thus be costly, and c) might get lost on your "sleeve" - but that depends on placement, I suppose. Oh, and the fact that you don't have Johnny Yong Bosch as the greatest Power Ranger of all time... I'm gobsmacked.

One other point - Noah was competing for a guaranteed contract. Jeremy was competing for a one-time shot at the title. I think Noah wins that one too...

Tampa picks... Miami at Pittsburgh (3.5) Atlanta at Carolina (5.5) Baltimore at Tampa Bay (3.5) Buffalo at New England (8.5) Cincinnati at Kansas City (3.5) (3.5) Denver at St. Louis New Orleans at Cleveland (3.5) N.Y. Jets at Tennessee (3.5) (4.5) Philadelphia at Houston (6.5) Seattle at Detroit (3.5) Chicago at Green Bay Dallas at Jacksonville (2.5) San Francisco at Arizona (7.5) (3.5) Indianapolis at N.Y. Giants Minnesota at Washington (4.5) (3.5) San Diego at Oakland Tampa - 17

I don't see how that's possible. TNG, DS9, and Voyager were all filmed using standard video. Not entirely true. The last two seasons of Voyager were filmed in widescreen.

I don't know about that. Beating the crap out of Shamrock again has to be a good confidence booster. If not, feed Rashad to him.

That's because the Mandalay Bay Event Center isn't BYOB...

I'm shocked that he's not a professional poker player. Apparently, I'll have to take this back. "Cao Boi" is apparently not gay, but he's definitely out there. His "occupation" on the CBS site is "Prelate, Loyal Order of Moose". Seriously.

Well, I hope he's figured things out. Otherwise it's an extreme waste of talent

As long as Mir's beer gut doesn't expand any further, this is probably true.

Well, Buddy and Barda apparently got sex changes. Also, did they forget that thing about Captain Atom (finally) becoming Monarch?

That's what he said.

Good call, except that Survivor gets pretty high ratings. Last I checked, the Arabian and Indian peninsulas were in Asia... I'm shocked that he's not a professional poker player. BTW, being Asian, I've no problem with the race warz. Of course, being Chinese, I know I belong to the most racist/xenophobic peoples on Earth, so I'd be a hypocrite if I were to cry foul here...

It's a prison in the Negative Zone. Which makes me wonder if this plays into Annihilation at all?

So what will Diaz' excuse be if/when he loses this time?

I was hoping we'd see Tweener and Haywire, but the tradeoff to not seeing them was getting rid of Victoria, and well... I'm not gonna argue about that.

I agree that it seemed really rushed. However, I did like the fight and if Team No Love gets the hammer back they'd be wise to take out Serra ASAP.

Sally Floyd, from the Generation M mini. There's also a backup story chronicling all the "fun" Speedball is having in prison, and something about an Atlantean sleeper cell.
