Hogan Made Wrestling

Outstanding, entertaining 5 sets of tennis there. Some of the shotmaking in the 5th set was just superb. That initial save by Gasquet on the first match point had the announcers jumping out of their seats.

Gasquet is now serving to send this to a 5th set and the crowd is solidly behind him.

Gasquet has won the 3rd set and looks good in the 4th set. Could be in store for a great finish here.

Break break break break break break this is somewhat weird to say the least.

I'm way less annoyed by this than by every single event of the pro football season being analyzed in terms of what it does to people's stupid fantasy teams. I don't give a flying fuck what a player's season-ending injury means for fantasy football. I care about what it means for real football.

If The Outsiders join DX, who would remain in the nWo? Obviously they'd need to bring in more guys, and Hogan would have to be the leader. They could potentially also add some "new" members such as Randy Orton.

ESPN had a good little article talking about how Cal has been treated like a national power for the past few years when their only "statement game" during that time period was a close LOSS to USC (at a time when the media was treating close losses to USC like wins against anyone else) and they have also had some embarassing defeats (this week, vs. Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl, and so on).

Someone want to explain what happened to Tommy Robredo today? The #6 ranked player loses 6-2 6-0 6-1 to Mikhail Youzhny?

Here's what I'd actually like to see, don't ask me why: The McMahons continue to "lose" their feud with DX and get embarassed, so Vince McMahon rehires Eric Bischoff as the GM of RAW to destroy DX. He announces his plan upon returning: at Survivor Series, it will be DX against the nWo. The Outsiders are originally on the nWo team, but turn on them and join DX, leading to a big nWo vs. DX/Clique war for a few months, finishing at Wrestlemania.

This 4th set is just some awful tennis. Neither guy can do anything against the other's serve, they are just holding easily every time. I haven't seen a more boring men's set in a long time.

Yeah, the debut is great. The intro to "Your Time Is Gonna Come" is pretty badass. "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" is a personal favorite. Even "Black Mountain Side," ostensibly the transitional song you're talking about, is a cool little modal workout. In terms of the first four, it's the Brown Bomber that I never cared for. "Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg." Great. I never liked "Heartbreaker" or "Living Loving Maid" either. "Whole Lotta Love" just makes me think of kids from some 1970s small town in, oh let's go with downstate Illinois, driving around town on a Friday night because there's nothing else to do. "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love." Another groaner! I totally agree about Zep 2. It's paint-by-numbers stuff with boring lyrics and unoriginal riffs. Most of it is good technically but there's very little originality and I rarely go out of my way to listen to any of the songs off of it. "Whole Lotta Love" might be the most overrated song of the entire Zeppelin catalogue.

I love Led Zeppelin 1 as well, it's my 2nd favorite album behind Physical Graffiti. You pretty much nailed down all the great things about it as well. Best debut album ever.

QFT The only reason mainstream rap is all about beefs is because tons of delusional rap "fans" want to hear about that shit.

Agassi in the finals is a pure pipe dream. To get there he'd most likely have to get through Roddick, one of Hewitt or Gasquet, and then Nadal, barring any huge upsets.

Agassi leading 2-1 in sets heading to the 4th but Baghdatis is finally starting to play some good tennis. I have a feeling we are in for a 5 setter here.

Yeah that sucks about Martina. Andre takes the first set off Baghdatis. This could be interesting.

I really like "Tea For One" and "Nobody's Fault But Mine" is pretty decent, but yeah Presence is not a particularly strong album overall.

Apparently Matt Leinart knocked up some 20 year old USC basketball player: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5918946 This would have been way more entertaining if it were Paris Hilton or one of the Simpson sisters. Now his holdout makes sense though: he needs cash to pay for the child support.

50 Cent's gimmick is more stale than any in pro wrestling right now. which is really saying something.

Dragonforce I mean seriously, I know power metal isn't the bastion of originality in music, but they couldn't think of anything more creative than that?

It's a killer album and one of the most underrated of all-time. I don't care much for Hot Dog and South Bound Saurez is just there, but the rest of it is totally awesome stuff.

Xavier Malisse just whipped Jarmo Nieminen in straights.

Apparently the Raiders have signed Jeff George.

This will all be very amusing in retrospect after TO accepts the MVP award after the Super Bowl.

I hope this happens before the Sooners come to Eugene.
