Chicago sure does love its Taco Bell.

He made reference to some people on there who were I guess using the "Kobe has never won it before" excuse as a reason why he should win the MVP. "These numbskulls, I won't mention any names, but uh, ESPN..." Which I don't think ESPN needs to go that route anyway. Kobe's claim to the MVP is as legit as anyone's. Although it would be tough to justify not giving it to Chris Paul should the Hornets finish atop the West.

[i]God of Thunder[/i] hits, as the arena goes dark. Yellow lights illuminates the entryway, and yellow smoke goes off, with Thunderkid, followed by Reject, emerging through the cloud. COLE And it's time for our main event of the evening! A tag team exstravaganza here on HeldDOWN~! Let's go to the ring! Ring Announcer [i]Le concours suivant est prévu pour une chute! La route qui mène à l'anneau, à un poids combiné de deux cent vingt kilos ... l'équipe de THUNDERKID et REJETER![/i] COLE Tremendous job by our French announcer here tonight, on HeldDOWN~! from Paris! COACH This is going to be great, Cole! I don't buy that either of these reunions is going to last, it'll be interesting to see which team implodes first! COLE Well, we'll see, and Alfdogg certainly shares your opinion as we saw earlier tonight! TK and Reject enter the ring and pose on the buckles, then exchange high tens and wait in their corner. A piano plays a melody, causing the crowd to cheer. The lights go down in the arena, turning back on in tune with the melody. *"COME ON!"* *BOOM~!* Pyro explodes, leaving behind fire that burns on both sides of the entrance stage. "Gasolina (Remix)" by Daddy Yankee featuring Lil' Jon and Pitbull starts playing. The entrance doors slide open, and Colombian Heat comes charging out, receiving a HUGE pop from the Detroit fateful. Heat gets the crowd fired up, bouncing up and down across the entrance stage, the OAOAST United States Championship belt strapped around his waist. Heat points to his belt, and then raises his hands, acknowledging the fans. Colombian Heat points to both sides of the arena, and then walks down the entrance ramp, slapping hands with the fans along the way. Ring Announcer [i]Et leurs adversaires ... introduisant en premier lieu, venus de Miami, en Floride, son poids de quatre-vingt-deux kilos ... il est le règne OAOAST champion des Etats-Unis ... COLOMBIENNE HEAT![/i] COLE They love Colombian Heat here in Paris! A real ladies' man! COACH Oh, give me a [i]break.[/i] Heat waits on the outside, as his music dies down. “THE CHAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP…” *DUN DUN* “…IS…” *DUN* “…HERE!” A lightning bolt hits the entrance stage, the PRL entrance video plays on the AngleTron, and “Know Your Role 2000” blasts over the P.A. system, bringing the crowd to life. The lights go down in the arena. PR is heard saying, “THE CHAMP IS HERE!” in tune with the beat of the song, while smoke fills the entrance stage, and spotlights circle around and around the arena. A few seconds elapsed, the entrance doors slide open, and Tha Puerto Rican quickly saunters out, stopping to look at the size of the crowd. PRL looks all over the arena, and then takes a deep breath. He jumps up and down, snorts, and then walks down the entrance ramp, not stopping at all, keeping his eyes focused on the ring. The crowd cheers louder than before. Ring Announcer [i]Et son partenaire ... tag équipe originaire de San Juan, à Porto Rico, son poids de quatre-vingt-neuf kilos ... il est le NOUVEAU OAOAST poids lourd champion du monde ... PUERTO LA RICIENNE![/i] PRL meets Heat in the aisle way, and they both slide into the ring. As Heat does the "W" hand signal in a corner, PRL does the HBK muscle pose as pyro goes off behind him. COLE Folks, set your VCRs, because this is going to be a historic match! Heat asks for a mic. HEAT Yo, kill da beat. PRL's music dies down. HEAT A'ight, y'all...I've been reading this handbook here to get ready for this, let's see how this works out. *clears throat* HEAT Si vous êtes prêt ... COLE :lol: HEAT Me voir et le nouveau champion du monde, Puerto la Ricienne... *crowd cheers* HEAT Thunderkid et Rejeter faire sentir la chaleur ... puis Paris, France ... faire un peu de bruit UP DANS CE -- CROWD BIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH~! Heat hands the mic back to the ring announcer, then waits in the corner, as PRL steps out, as does Reject. *DING DING DING* COLE Here we go, Thunderkid and Colombian Heat starting us off! TK and Heat circle the ring, and tie up. After a struggle, TK backs Heat into a corner. However, Heat turns TK around, and holds him, causing the referee to step in and attempt to break. When he does this, TK delivers a right hand to Heat, then turns him around in the corner, and starts firing off rights. COLE And Thunderkid overpowering the United States champion here to start! The referee admonishes TK, which allows Heat to pull himself back to his feet, and start firing back on TK! COLE But look at Heat fight back! TK cuts him off with a knee to the gut, then sets up an Irish whip. Heat reverses, then drops down, and catches him coming back with a flying cross body! 1... 2... Kickout! TK tries a clothesline, but Heat ducks, and hits him with a dropkick! He then hits Reject with a dropkick on the apron! Heat wrings the arm of TK, and brings him into the corner, tagging in PRL. COLE The champ is in! PRL hammers away on TK in the corner, then spits on his hand and delivers one last big right! COLE And a BIG right hand! PRL then whips TK across, but TK bounces out and floors him with a clothesline! COACH And a BIG clothesline to counter! TK stops to catch his breath, then covers... 1... 2... Kickout! TK then makes a tag to Reject, who comes in and gets caught with a Samoan drop! COLE Action fast and furious here in the early going! PRL stomps away at Reject, chasing him into a corner, where he fires off right hands. He then whips him across and charges, but Reject moves out of the way, then sends him to the mat with a spin kick! COLE Nobody home on that one, and then PRL caught a big kick to the face! Reject measures PRL, and drops a fist to the face! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! TK tags back in, and hops to the second rope as Reject holds. TK comes off with a double axhandle, then whips him into the ropes. TK puts his head down, however, and gets caught with a swinging neckbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! PRL delivers right hands, then sets up an Irish whip, but TK reverses, and lifts him in a PRESS SLAM~! COLE And look at the power here! TK slams PRL to the mat, then covers... 1... 2... Kickout! COACH And I think PRL should have tagged right there instead of going for the cover, that's that ego coming into play! COLE Oh, don't start. Reject tags back in, and delivers some forearm blows. COLE And there's a tag on the other side, so far, Thunderkid and Reject have been the more well-oiled of the two teams, I think you'd have to say. COACH Yeah, I'd agree with that, so far, but it's still early in the match, Cole! Reject knocks PRL to the mat, then runs to the ropes, but PRL catches him with a back elbow! PRL then waits, as Reject gets to his feet. COACH Like right now, why doesn't PRL tag? COLE It's the heat of battle, I think, Coach! COACH A likely story. PRL catches Reject with a Rock spinebuster, then walks a half-lap around to this head! COLE Uh-oh, could it be time, for the most electrifying move in sports entertainment? PRL kicks Reject's arm to the side, then slowly pulls his elbowpad off, and tosses it into the crowd. He then runs to his left, then hops over Reject...but on his way back, TK jumps to the floor and pulls Reject out by his foot! COACH Boy, TK and Reject dodged a bullet right there, though! However, TK and Reject don't have much time to regroup, as Heat comes flying down on top of them with a flying bodypress off the top rope! COLE And Heat flying on top of TK and Reject! Heat hammers away on TK, while PRL follows him out, and goes back after Reject, tossing him back inside. Heat hops back onto the apron, and sticks a foot out for PRL, which he rams the face of Reject into. Heat then tags in, and whips Reject across, catching him with a spinning wheel kick! Heat then signals for the end! COACH This could be it, Cole! Heat gets behind Reject, and scoops him up...but Reject manages to roll backwards to his feet and slip loose, then shoves Heat into the ropes, where TK is getting back onto the apron, and pulls the top rope down, which causes Heat to go crashing over them to the floor! COLE But no, Reject counters, and Heat goes out to the floor! TK trying to get back onto the apron, pulling the rope down, and Heat ends up flying over them! TK hops down, and stomps away on Heat, as Reject distracts the referee. TK then slams Heat sternum-first on the guardrail, and rolls him back inside, where Reject covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject stomps away on the corner, and the referee backs him off. TK then hops off the apron, and delivers shots to the chest. COLE And some nice teamwork here by TK and Reject, looking for a shot at the tag team titles, held by Team Heyross! Reject sets up Heat in the corner, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! A third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! Reject then executes a back suplex, and covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject tags TK back in, and TK grabs Heat in a hangman's hold. COACH I don't know if I've ever liked this hold more! Lay into him, Reject! Reject measures Heat, and delivers a roundhouse kick to the abdomen! Heat rolls around on the mat in pain, and TK covers... 1... 2... Shoulder up! TK picks up Heat, and whips him into a corner, then charges...but Heat moves out of the way! Heat then delivers right hands, the last of which TK ducks, and attempts a reverse sunset! However, Heat blocks, then catches a charging TK and drops him across the ropes in a stungun! COLE Nice stungun by Colombian Heat! Heat then climbs to the top, waits for TK to get to his feet, and comes off for a MISSILE DROPKICK~!...but TK sidesteps him, and Heat crashes into the mat! TK covers... 1... 2... Kickout! TK drags Heat into his corner, and tags in Reject. Reject fires off rights on Heat, whips him into the ropes, and delivers a foot to the gut. He sets him up for the PITCH BLACK~!!!!!11111 COLE And now Reject looking to end the match! However, Heat backdrops out of it! COACH And now Heat needs to tag! Heat crawls towards his corner, but Reject is able to grab his foot. Heat gets to his feet, and he and Reject engage in a slugfest. Heat gets the better of the exchange, but Reject goes to the eyes. He whips Heat across, then drops down. Heat ducks a clothesline, then the two clothesline each other! COLE Double clothesline, both men down! The referee starts a count. 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! Both men start to stir, then roll towards their corners, and make tags simultaneously! COLE And tags made on both sides! PRL ducks a TK clothesline, and starts firing off rights, knocking him to the mat! PRL then catches Reject with right hands, knocking him to the mat, as well! PRL the sets up TK, and drills him with the CAPPA KILLA~!!! COLE PRL with the Cappa Killa on TK! Cover... 1... 2... NO!!! TK gets the shoulder up, as the crowd starts booing. COLE What's this? The camera pans to the front of the aisleway, where Alfdogg has arrived at ringside. COACH What could Alf be doing out here? Alf goes around to the timekeepers' table, and grabs the World title, then raises it up to show PRL! COLE Alf taunting PRL right now, he's got his belt! PRL slides out and catches up to Alf in the middle of the aisle, tackling him and slugging away! COACH We're getting a little bonus action here, Cole! COLE PRL hammering away on Alf in the aisle! The referee yells at PRL, as Reject is staring at the battle, arms outstretched, wondering what the hell is going on, when Heat spins him around, and starts firing off right hands! COACH And meanwhile, Heat has been left alone in the ring! What a partner! COLE Oh, shut up! Heat ducks a spinkick, and floors Reject with the PELE KICK~! COLE And there's the Pele kick! Heat then ducks behind for the COLOMBIAN NECKTIE~!!!!!11111...but a figure comes from through the crowd, and kicks him in the nuts from behind! COACH What the... COLE ...Coach, that looks like Sandman9000! Sandman rips off his bandages, revealing that it is indeed him! He then picks up Heat, hooks him, and drills him with the ARCHANGEL'S WINGS~!!!!!11111 Reject drapes an arm across, as the referee returns and counts... 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE And Thunderkid and Reject pick up the win! What the hell is going on here? COACH ...if it's what I think it is, I like it! Ring announcer [i]Mesdames et Messieurs, les gagnants du match de l'équipe ... et THUNDERKID REJETER![/i] The crowd doesn't know how to react, as PRL rushes back to ringside and attacks Reject, but is attacked from behind by Sandman! COLE What is Sandman doing? What are all these guys doing? Sandman looks at TK and Reject for a second, and the three of them smile, then proceed to triple-team PRL! COLE Coach...am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? Alf jogs back down to ringside, with a big grin on his face, and slides inside. COACH ...I think we are, Cole! I love it! Alf walks over to PRL, with his hands on his hips. The referee grabs Alf by the arm, and Alf turns around and wallops him with a right hand! COLE And there goes the referee! Reject picks up PRL, and drops him with the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COLE Reject with the Eulogy, as Alfdogg climbing to the top rope! TK chokes Heat in the corner, as Alf gets his balance on the top. Alf taunts the crowd, and comes down onto PRL with the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 COACH YES~! Alf then motions to TK, who brings Heat over to where PRL is...and drops him with the SCORPION DEATHDROP~!!!!!11111 Heat and PRL are left lying on their backs, with the tops of their heads next to each other. Alf grabs PRL's belt, as Sandman stands to his right, TK to his left, and Reject to TK's left, and everyone raises their hands in the air. COACH Boy, you were right Cole! I hope everyone did set their VCRs for this, this truly IS a historic night! Many fans are booing and heaving trash the way of Alf & co., but there are some cheers from the old school fans in the crowd. COLE This is unbelieveable, it looks as if we've seen an Alliance reunite here! PRL has finally made it to the top of the mountain, but it looks as if his title reign just got Deadlier! Alf holds the belt in the prone PRL's face, talking trash, then raises it back into the air as we... [b]FADE TO BLACK[/b]

[color=ff1493][b]Je t'adore, je t'adore...[/b][/color] [i]Girls, Girls, Girls[/i] hits, and pink smoke and strobes fill the entryway as "After Hours" Felix Stutter walks through, followed by Reggie Lamont. COLE Tag team action up next here on HeldDOWN~! Team Heyross in their first title defense! Let's go to the ring! Ring Announcer [i]Mesdames et Messieurs, le texte suivant est prévu pour contester une chute, et il appartient à l'équipe OAOAST championnats du monde tag! La route qui mène à l'anneau, à un poids combiné de deux cents kilos ... dix-sept introduisant d'abord, originaire de Laguna Beach, en Californie...REGGIE LAMONT![/i] *crowd boos* Ring Announcer [i]Sa balise équipe partenaire, originaire de San Jose, en Californie ... "APRèS LES HEURES" FELIX STRUTTER![/i] Strutter slides into the ring, and poses on the buckles, to boos, while Lamont steps in and starts shadow boxing. Strutter removes his garb, as [i]Shine[/i] by Collective Soul hits and Team Heyross make their way through the curtains, to the cheers of the crowd. COLE And the fans in Paris on their feet for the new tag team champions! Ring Announcer [i]Leurs opposants ... à un poids combiné de deux cent vingt kilos ... ils sont les NOUVEAU OAOAST monde balise équipe les champions ... de l'équipe de CHARLIE MOUSSE et QUENTIN BENJAMIN, HEYROSS éQUIPE![/i] COLE The announcements from our French ring announcer, for the World tag team champions! It's been a long wait for Team Heyross, but they finally reached the top of the mountain at AngleMania VII! Team Heyross shows their belts off to the crowd, then hands them to the referee. Moss and Lamont step to the outside, as the referee raises the belts in the air. *DING DING DING* COLE And we're underway! Benjamin and Strutter circle the ring, and move in for the tie up. Strutter quickly catches Benjain with a kick to the gut, and grabs a side headlock. Benjamin backs Strutter into the ropes, then shoves him across. He drops down, then goes for a dropkick, but Strutter hooks the ropes, and Benjamin crashes into the mat! COLE And a nice counter there by Felix Strutter, a two-time Heartland champion, as well as a former International World champion! Strutter backs Benjamin into a corner, and drives shoulders into the midsection. He whips Benjamin across hard, then grabs him by the arm on the way out and whips him across again, but this time, Benjamin slingshots over the top! However, Strutter manages to catch him momentarily, before Benjamin slips behind the back, and attempts a reverse sunset, which is blocked by Strutter grabbing the ropes. COLE Expect fast and furious action here, two of the premier high-flyers in the business! Strutter charges Benjamin, who leapfrogs, then drops down, then leapfrogs again, and catches Strutter with a flying clothesline! Benjamin delivers rights to Strutter on the mat, then wrings the arm, but Strutter goes to the eyes. COACH There's a nice wrestling counter! COLE ;rolleyes: Strutter follows with forearm uppercuts, backing Benjamin into the ropes, then goes for a big right hand, but Benjamin ducks, and hammers Felix on the ropes, then tags in Moss. COLE First tag of the match, and Charlie Moss in! Moss and Benjamin whip Strutter across, and catch him with a double hiptoss! Moss follows by scoop-slamming Benjamin on top of Strutter! COLE Look at that teamwork! Lamont climbs in, and floors Moss with a bicycle kick, then, without missing a beat, drills Benjamin with a spinning reverse thrust kick! COLE And look at Reggie Lamont! What a sequence! Lamont raises his arms in the air, drawing boos, then grabs Strutter, and whips him towards both Team Heyross members. Strutter tries a double clothesline, but Team Heyross ducks, and sends him to the outside with a double superkick! Lamont tries one of his own, and meets the same fate! COLE But a great recovery by the champs, and Felix and Reggie are out to regroup! After a brief strategy session, Lamont steps into the ring, met by Charlie Moss. They move in for the tieup, but Lamont drives a knee into the gut, then delivers a European uppercut, followed by a headbutt, sending Moss to the mat. COLE Reggie Lamont getting the best of the slugfest, which is to be expected. COACH That's what Reggie does, Cole, he's not out here to wrestle, he's out here to punish people! Lamont stomps away on Moss, who rolls to the apron. Lamont delivers right hands, but Moss returns a few, then slides back in underneath the legs of Lamont! COLE But look at this! Moss delivers right hands, then attempts an Irish whip. Lamont reverses, but puts his head down, and Moss goes for a sunset flip! Lamont blocks, then tries for a right hand, but Moss moves, and Lamont punches the mat! COLE And nobody home for Reggie Lamont! Moss backs into the ropes, and goes for a flying bodypress, but Lamont catches him! COLE And look at this! Charlie Moss is 250 pounds! Benjamin comes off the top with a MISSILE DROPKICK, the end result being Moss on top of Lamont! 1... 2... Kickout! Moss wrings the arm, but Lamont quickly counters with a headbutt, then sets him up for a powerbomb. He gets him up, but Moss delivers right hands. Benjamin tries to come in, but is intercepted by the referee, as Strutter sneaks in, grabs Moss by the hair, and jumps over the top rope, guillotining Moss on the top rope as he still sat on Lamont's shoulders! COACH WOW! What a move by Reggie and Felix! We could have new champs in a hurry, Cole! Strutter poses for the fans on the outside, drawing boos. In the ring, Lamont lifts Moss into the air, into a PRESS SLAM~! COLE And once again Reggie Lamont showing off the power advantage! Lamont tosses Moss down to the mat, then takes a cheap shot at Benjamin on the apron. COACH And Lamont drawing Benjamin into the ring right there, smart move! Lamont tosses Moss into the corner, where Strutter chokes him with the tag rope! COLE And now illegal activities going on in the corner! COACH "Illegal activities"...:rolleyes: What's he doing, soliciting a French maid prostitute over there? Relax, it's just a little tag rope. COLE It's illegal in the boundaries of professional wrestling! Strutter tags in, and whips moss across the ring. Moss ducks a clothesline, and catches Strutter with a flying bodypress! 1... 2... Kickout! Strutter quickly pounces on Moss, then whips him hard into a corner, causing Moss to drop to his knees holding his back. Strutter then picks up Moss, and executes a backbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Lamont tags in, and whips Moss across, catching him in a BEARHUG~! COACH And they've targeted a body part now, they're working over that back of Charlie Moss! COLE Yes indeed, very smart, and Reggie Lamont now with the bearhug applied, trying to squeeze a submission out out of Charlie Moss! Moss fades, and the referee lifts his arm... ONE!!! TWO!!! But Moss holds through on the third lift, then gains some energy, and delivers a right hand! A second! A third! However, Lamont holds on and rams Moss into a corner! COACH And look at that, Reggie just took all those right hands and stayed right on the offensive! This guy is tough! COLE No doubt about it! Lamont whips Moss across, then charges, but Moss gets his foot up! Moss then hops to the second rope, and leaps off, but gets caught in a POWERSLAM~! COACH Mos should have tagged right there! COLE And this could be it right here, but now Lamont making a mistake, and not covering! Lamont lifts up Moss, and grabs him in a front facelock. COACH Uh-oh, he's looking for the finish now! Lamont tries to lift Moss in a suplex, but Moss blocks once, then blocks again, and lifts Lamont in the air, dropping him on his stomach across the ropes! COLE And NOW, Moss needs to make a tag! Both guys inch to their corner, and tag at approximately the same time! COLE There it is!

Benjamin sets up Strutter in the corner, and starts firing off rights, as the crowd counts along! UN!!! DEUX!!! TROIS!!! QUATRE!!! CINQ!!! Benjamin then leaps back and catches the approaching Lamont with a bodypress! COACH Whoa! Benjamin delivers rights on the mat, then jumps up and catches Strutter with more rights.

Benjamin and Moss catch Lamont with a double dropkick, sending him to the outside! They then converge on Strutter, and flatten him with the DOUBLE GOOZLE~! COLE And they're setting up Felix! Moss then sets up Felix, and lifts him for a Razor's Edge! COACH What's this? Benjamin runs to the ropes, as Moss raises Felix as high as he can, then leaps high in the air, and brings him down with a NECKBREAKER as Moss sits out! COACH Wow! COLE And there's a new one from the champs! 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE And it retains the titles! Ring announcer [i]Mesdames et Messieurs, les gagnants du match ... et encore OAOAST monde tag équipe de champions ... HEYROSS éQUIPE![/i] COLE Just when you think they've done it all, they pull that move out of the books! Team Heyross with an impressive showing in their first title defense! Let's go to...

Yeah, I didn't word that very well, at all. What I was trying to say was that defensively, Woodson doesn't appear to be much of a disciplinarian in comparison to a Skiles or Carlisle. I've heard those guys referred to as "micromanagers", which Skiles does seem like a bit of a tightass, but I've never seen that with Carlisle, really. Maybe I'm just a bit biased towards him, but the only guys I've seen actively complain about him are knuckleheads like Stephen Jackson and Jamaal Tinsley, so I don't really put much stock into that.

Yes, Vitale finally got in. Here are the lucky seven: Hakeem Olajuwon Patrick Ewing Adrian Dantley Pat Riley (coach) Cathy Rush (coach) Bill Davidson (owner) Dick Vitale (broadcaster)

No one wants to play defense anymore, they all want to play "Phoenix Suns ball." That's why you see coaches like Mike Woodson gainfully employed, while Rick Carlisle is working for ESPN. That's why I always scratch my head when people say a team like the Knicks or the Hawks should hire Carlisle. Those are young teams would quickly tune him out, because his style is "not fun." If you have a team with veteran players that are ready to win now, that's the team that should hire a guy like Carlisle or Skiles. Depending on how Denver's season turns out, I think they may be well served to dump George Karl and look into Carlisle.

Love and Collison, also.

My matches will come complete with French ring announcer, btw.

Six, actually.

And the Bulls are officially out of playoff contention, at the hands of the Miami Heat. Oh, the irony.

Dunleavy for Most Improved. I'd like to think this game will give us a boost to steal the last spot, but the Hawks still have games with the Knicks and Heat.

Thunderkid and Reject are seen walking together backstage, stopping when they see Alfdogg staring at them. Alf gets a grin on his face, then lets out a sarcastic laugh. ALF Are you kiddin' me? [i]You[/i] guys are gonna get back together and win the tag team titles? :lol: TK and Reject look at each other, then look at Alf. ALF How are you guys gonna co-exist out there against real competition, after the way you guys split? :huh: REJECT That's all in the past, Alf. All that matters right now, is that this team was destined to be champions. And tonight, that road begins again. ALF Hey, you know what, that's great. Because PRL just won my title at AngleMania, and all that matters to me is getting it back. So whatever you two can do to soften him up tonight...*shrugs* not that I really need it, that just makes it all the better. TK It's great that you have aspirations...but we're doing this for us, so you just sit back and watch. Because tonight, we're going to make history. *crowd cheers, as TK and Reject continue their walk.* ALF Maybe you will...maybe you will. :lol:

As much as I would love to see it happen, the Hawks will be lucky to win one game against the Celtics. Sorry, but I'm not seeing the cause for optimism here. Same goes for the Pacers or Nets with their slim chances.

Brandon Rush is entering the NBA draft.

It's CWM's fault.

Now that Adrian Dantley is finally in, I have to wonder if Chris Mullin will be taking his spot as the guy who for years doesn't quite get in. This was his second year on the ballot, and he's not likely to get in next year either in a year that features Jordan, Stockton, and David Robinson becoming eligible.

Since I can't win any pools anymore, this is the matchup I wanted most out of the four teams. It's good to see the two lesser-hyped teams silence the experts and make it to the big game. A lot of people would probably rank Kansas more in terms of UNC/UCLA in terms of hype and likeability (or lack thereof), but I've never gotten that vibe from them, really. I look at them more in terms of the great Atlanta Braves teams, without the "America's Team" moniker I hate so much.

This is from the Reds' radio guys just a few minutes ago, for some reason discussing Garth Brooks. PBP guy: "I heard this quote recently, and I think it's so true...'If the internet was around when The Beatles were popular, they would have sold one billion records." Garth Brooks has an advantage that the Beatles didn't have. color guy: "Well, if I hadn't had two shoulder surgeries, I'd still be pitching right now!" PBP: "Well, that's not a fair statement." Color: "Yes it is!" PBP: "No it isn't! We're not talking about you or who you'd be a better pitcher than, we're talking about something else right now!" *uncomfortable pause*

I didn't know Mike moved the TSM server to Indiana

Denver just lost to Seattle in double OT, clinching playoff berths for the Suns and Rockets. Dallas now has a 2-game lead on the Nuggets and Warriors.

She's not in there anymore, it was overturned. Or Czech took her back out himself. I don't know, I was out when the whole thing happened.

That's the thing, though, the Gulag is meant as an alternative to outright bannings/suspensions. So if those people want, they can still discuss things with the others in that folder, or bitch about being sent there, or whatever. Or not. Either way. Also, if Czech deletes it, I will scream.

I know you were joking, Cheech, I just don't think that's an appropriate joke to be making under these circumstances. I mean, Leena is going to think whatever she wants about us, but she's not the only female at TSM. I don't want to give them that impression of us.

You know, you guys are not really helping to erase our misogynistic circle-jerk image.
