Robert Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart and Brian Keith all died within hours of each other a few years ago and Stewart got most of the press. It's hard to doll out the time when trajedies like this happen back to back. The more I've been thinking about Ritter today, the more I think he really was an underrated actor. I don't just mean as a comedian, but as an actor overall. I'm glad to see that Mark remembers Hooperman and I hope someone like FX picks it up and runs it in his honor. Great little show.

McClennan you just lowered my respect for you lower than dogshit (aka Quiz). To not know who John Ritter was is ignorant and to dismiss Cash as producing 'shitty ass music' shows how little real knowledge and appreciation you have for American music in all its forms. Give me five reasons why Cash is 'shitty ass.'

I nominate Strangler for tool of the year for not paying attention to what Thugg said and totally undermining the whole nomination process. I'm sure TBS won't mind if you tell him it's an award for having the biggest tool.

I do thank you for clearing that up Thugg, and indeed I do think the window pain match is a great match and could have a shot at winning. I would appreciate CC greatest consideration on it for a nomination.

I'd pay ten. Honestly, I don't pay more than ten bucks for any t-shirt. It's a damn t-shirt.

You know, I should have thought of this a few minutes ago. I would like to nominte Tod vs. TNT in Tod's retirement match. It was a nice way for Tod to go out and wrap up over a year of storyline. While Tod clearly admits that the wrestling might not have been five stars, the entertainment value certainly was. Now, Tod can just nominate the window pain match and everything is cool. Of course, I understand that not all nominations will make the final ballot, but it doesn't hurt to get the names that should be recognized out ther for due consideration.

I don't think that was a ppv match, I believe it occured on a Storm. Don't have time to check now, I'm sure Thugg will know.

No, I seriously was nominating myself, although my reason was joking. I don't see why we can't nominate ourself if we do feel that we wrote a good match, which I do in this instance. True someone else might nominate that match, but again maybe not. These awards are supposed to be about self recognition and celebration of the fed, so why can't we attempt to celebrate ourselves with just cause?

I need to review stuff and think after I get home from work tonight for all the nominations. I think this past year has actually been damn good and better quality wise than my first year in the fed. Off the top of my head, I'd have to give the nod to Battleground which had some hot matches and wrapped up storylines. Ground Zero was good for what was there and really tied stuff up, but the two double no shows really kills its chances.

Frost vs. TNT vs. Flesher at Battleground-Flesher did a great job of working all three men and storylines in while delivering an intense matchup TNT's Clusterfuck match-Clusterfucks get automatic bids on just how hard they are to write and TNT did a fantastic job on keeping the action clear and booking the eliminations. Window Pain Match: Frost vs. Flesher from Ground Zero-It's the bad damn thing I ever wrote and you better fucking recognize!

I'll toot my own horn and say Frost and Tom. Also Tom and ELM and TNT and ELM.

Tokyo X-he thought this was a promo fed even though everyone told him otherwise. Wrote a stupid promo where his dad was a bum and never showed one single time. Neilsen of the Jungle-Returns thinking he's Jesus, almost demanding world title shots at every turn. He sets up this tremendous angle with King and disappears without a word. He wins the ICTV Title off of me in his first match back and then throws it down, totally disrespecting me, the belt and the fed at large. Michael Craven-Because he's the most natural tool ever born. I will job him to the step over inverted figure eight weaverlock upon my return.

I actually had a bet with a friend that Johnny Cash would pass by mid-september. My cut off date was the 15th. It sucks so bad to be right. I knew he couldn't hang on much longer after June past. She was his soul and anchor in this mortal coil. I am sorry that Cash was unable to attend the MTV video awards a few weeks ago, as that would have been a fitting final appearance. The aging rebel who stood for what music should be reaching out to the younger, lost generation. I am a huge fan of his music and would suggest people who want to know the true power of Cash to not only pick up his last album, but the box set Love, God and Murder.

If you were going to have a deadpool, John Ritter would be like the last guy you'd pick. Honestly, you can't say the guy was a great actor or great comedian, because he wasn't. However, he was likable on screen and had a good work ethic. He always tried in everything he did and seemed to develop a real natural chemistry with his co-stars. I've only seen bits of his new show, 8 Simple Rules, but from what I've seen the cast was excellent with him holding it all together, if the show wasn't fairly pedestrian otherwise. Ritter was one of those rare breed these days of people who were pure t.v. stars and liked it that way. (Although he did have a few film roles, chiefly the underrated Skin Deep by director Blake Edwards and Stay Tuned. Problem Child can be swept under the rug.) I was also a fan of Ritter's short lived dramedy Hooperman, which was really a cool little show that probably would have found a bigger audience in this day and age.

I used to read the jump the shark message board too and we would always go round and round on whether a show could jump from day one. Basically, if the premise or cast looked good and then it sucked, then it jumped the shark. But if it looked bad, like the Mullets, and still sucked, then it was just a bad show. By technical definition you can't jump the shark if you were always bad. There's a couple shows I want to check out, but haven't yet. That show with the cop from the John Larroquette Show living with two flaming gay guys look horrid. In contrast, the new show Larroquette has with Baranski could be decent with those two in it.

You did that too?

Cameos by me are always good. You did forget to note that I was eating a bacon double cheeseburger and was "entertaining" the Hilton sisters inside. Not only is the promo funny, but it's structured, has a purpose and does some decent character development. I love the new spin you put on Ejiro and Judge and their interactions with the along for the ride Wildchild really helps to add an extra dimension of interest. I don't think Justice and Rule would really work as a comedy team, like Deja Vu were, but this does make for a nice change of pace and I think this type of promo is something you guys and the tag division could use right now.

It's bad. It seems like you're just pissed at Ejiro for writing a funny promo and you want to whip out your cock to prove it's bigger than his. It doesn't make any sense and is stupid. It does nothing to get you guys, the other guys or any coming matches over. What I think would be neat, is if you guys would stage mock game shows that make fun of your opponents. Like Quiz and Show are sitting in the winner's circle of $25,000 Pyramid and running the board like: Quiz: "Toothless, smells funny, costs a nickel." Show: "Ejiro's mom!" Ding! Quiz: "I swear this will only take five minutes and then we'll go to Chuck E. Cheese after." Show: "What Ejiro tells girl scouts!" Ding!

Most reality shows are taped long before they hit the air, so they can be edited to the minute detail. It's also helps if any forseeable problems arise. Let's say our dear Joe Schmoe develops acute pendisitis and has to leave the show, you're fucked. I'm guessing this was filmed in advanced, especially since they show clips from future shows in ads and such.

I'd go with Hasselback simply because the Arizona D is nothing and I think this might actually turn into a shootout. With so many recievers injured, Seattle will probably focus on the running game and that might leave Boldin open a good portion of the time. Boldin might crash later in the year, but not right now. I like a lot of what I saw in him last week and Jeff Blake is always pretty good until about week 10 when he implodes like the Red Sox in August. Maddox will probably put up booku yardage, but the potential for a couple picks is a lot stronger there.

So, he's Shane Douglas.

I have no clue. I was playing off the first two responses, which were generic "why I don't read something" responses. I thought we were fucking with the guy. Next time send me a memo.

Basically LDP puts everyone's name in a hat and let's Ian pick the names out. From there, he throws darts at a board, where he lands is your point total divided by how many times he's been laid in the past month (usually 2). He then gets out this abacus that his father left him in his will and tabulates the score, which he writes on the back of a Dixie cup. He then burns the Dixie cup and writes down whatever he can remember. It's a very old ritual that LDP got from the guy who originated the superstar of the month scoring back in the early days of the fed, Mayor McCheese.

I'm waiting for the movie.
