Must be tough playing for a perennial contender with Steve Nash as a teammate.

I went with San Diego, as well.

...wait, I won? OK, I see where I got confused. I wasn't giving myself the CLE/OAK game. I thought it was Cleveland that had the spread.

Fuck you, New Orleans.

Got it. Steviekick, you can go ahead and sign up if you want in. I'm thinking if I don't hear from raza in the next couple days, I'll drop him and get someone else for his spot. That would be a week after we opened the league, which is more than reasonable.

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

?

I hate to waste my NE pick this soon, but that was the only game I was 100% confident about. I actually considered the Browns against Oakland, after their showing against Cincy last week. Good thing I didn't bite on that one.

Please pull this out, Chicago, so I don't have to depend on the Saints tommorrow.

We also need to have an even number of teams. So if raza comes around, I'll have to hunt down another person to join. According to raza's profile, he hasn't been on the board in 2 weeks. Which is odd considering how often he's usually here.

Bob told me he was dropping out. Still no word from IK. Haven't seen Roy or raza around lately, either.

I worked at McDonald's for three years, and aside from cheese, we never charged for anything extra on sandwiches.

Damn, even the intro was higher on the card than my match. That's cold. Good little promo from Melody to start things off. Should be an interesting tag match at Zero Hour. The All-American Boys? WTF. Team Heyross should sue for gimmick infringement. Old school with the insert promo from the Docs. I like it. Nice squash to build Teddy & CW up for Zero Hour. Funny segment with Zack & Landon. Loved the last bit with Landon ready to embrace Zack, then thinking better of it. Another reluctant handicap match later tonight, it seems. A soccer shootout challenge? That seems like a new twist on the Super Posedown, or the arm-wrestling matches between Bulldog and Warlord. Anxious to see what comes of that. COD promo, always one of the highlights of the show, and this was no different. Many LOLs were had. Nice work. Nice handicap match to end the show. Seemed a little short, but then you've got to same some for the PPV. Heel tactics galore, then Zack comes in and turns on his partner after he did all the work for him! That's gratitude for ya.

For the record, I think Isiah's certainly exceeded expectations in his current role as GM/coach so far. He certainly has had his share of screw-ups, but he's done great as far as drafting players. You can't really look at his tenure and say he's made a bad choice in the draft, I don't think. He probably could have waited on Balkman, but he wasn't on anyone else's draft board and Isiah got him and he's been a solid contributor. Overall, I actually think he's been coming along pretty good, but come on, that was kind of a silly thing to say about Bird. You can't sit there and tell me that the Pacers wouldn't still be an elite team had the stuff with Artest never happened. And I should also point out that the Pacers became a 60-win team in the first place due in large part to Bird replacing Isiah as coach with Rick Carlisle.

Wow, I didn't realize that one year out of the playoffs means you're now worse than Isiah Thomas. Not to mention it's mostly Ron Artest's fault we're in the mess we're in right now.

COACH Uh-oh...they may not be the only people! Alf raises the stick in the air, and hammers Stevens with it, as the crowd starts to lean more towards Alf!

Alf attempts an Irish whip on Brock, but Brock counters...and pulls Alf in, lifting him onto his shoulders! COLE Here it comes! Could be the F-STUNNER-5~! Brock attempts the F-STUNNER-5~!!!!!11111...but Alf comes down in front of Brock on his feet, and kicks him in his bad knee! He then trips Brock up...and applies the SHARPSHOOTER~!!!!!11111 COACH All right! COLE SHARPSHOOTER! There's no one else in sight! Alf cranks back on the hold, as Brock yells in pain. Alf pulls him out to mid-ring, as the referee asks Brock if he wants to tap. Brock inches towards the ropes, as TK slowly rolls back inside. Once he gets all the way in and gets to his feet, Alf drops Brock, then grabs TK and applies the hold on him! COACH Look at this! COLE And now TK trapped in the Sharpshooter! Alf sits on it in the middle of the ring, as Stevens sneaks in from behind with the chair, and BLASTS Alf from behind! COLE BIG shot from Chris Stevens! Look at the pain going through Alf's body! COACH Well, that's one way to counter Alf's Sharpshooter! Stevens pushes Alf to the outside, then goes back after TK.

However, Stevens comes from behind with a chop block, but it puts TK on top! 1... 2... Stevens saves! COACH And Chris Stevens almost cost himself the match with that move! TK and Stevens stomp away on Brock, eventually knocking him outside the ring. Stevens then goes right to work on TK, raking his eyes and whipping him into the ropes, hitting him with a HIGH KNEE~! He then picks up TK and hits a back suplex, then points to the top rope. COLE And now Chris Stevens looks to be going for his frog splash! Stevens scales the ropes, but then TK gets to his feet, and grabs Stevens, who tries to beg off, but TK launches him into mid-ring! COACH Who does Stevens think he is, Ric Flair? TK grabs Stevens in a front facelock, then signals to the crowd. COACH Uh-oh... COLE And TK going for the Thunderbolt DDT~! However, before he can set up, Brock is back in, and he grabs TK from behind, then spins him around, and delivers an OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY, sending TK right over the top rope! COLE Brock is back, and TK LAUNCHED back to the outside! Alf is just coming to on the outside, and he grabs the kendo stick once again, as Stevens delivers a low blow to Brock on the inside. Once TK exposes his back, Alf starts to hammer away! COLE Alf back to his senses, and he's laying it into TK with that kendo stick! Alf raises the stick in the air, drawing another mixed reaction. Stevens has scaled the top rope from the inside...but when he jumps off, Alf catches him with the stick on the way down! COACH Chris got caught! TK slowly rolls into the ring, as Alf hammers Stevens with the stick, then starts tearing apart the Spanish announce table. COLE Uh-oh... COACH What's Alf setting up here? Alf picks up Stevens, and rolls him onto the table. He delivers some forearm shots, then grabs the steel chair, and rolls back inside, delivering shots to the head of both TK and Brock! Alf then climbs to the top rope, and gets his balance, as the crowd begins to buzz. COLE Oh my... Alf raises his arms up in the air, then leaps off...and LEGDROPS STEVENS THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE~!!! COLE Look at the CARNAGE~! Alfdogg, Chris Stevens both out! Thunderkid, Brock Ausstin both out! The crowd applauds, as some chant "HO-LY SHIT~!" Finally, after several seconds, TK starts to stir, and Brock is soon to follow. TK and Brock slug it out from their knees, working their way to their feet, as Brock gets the better of the exchange. Brock backs TK into a corner with right hands, but TK turns him around and fires off right of his own. Brock reverses an Irish whip, and TK attempts to sling over Brock, but Brock catches him on his shoulder. Brock goes for the Snake Eyes, but TK slips off and shoves Brock into the buckles, then floors him with a BICYCLE KICK~! COLE TK with that bicycle kick, and Brock is down! TK sets up a gutwrench, but Brock counters, and backdrops TK! Brock then sets up the F-STUNNER-5~!!!!!11111 COLE Brock looking to end it right here! TK slips off the back, however, and sets up the THUNDERBOLT DDT~!!!!!11111 COLE And now TK looking to end it! Brock spins out and behind TK, and hooks in the KATAHAJIME~!!!!!11111 COACH WHOA~! COLE KATAHAJIME~! This is finally it, I think! TK moves around for the ropes, but Brock drops to his back, and TK slowly fades. COACH He's fading, Cole! All of a sudden, Alf flies into the range of the camera, hitting both men with the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 COLE FIVE-STAR~! Where the hell did Alf come from??? All three men are out of it on the mat. COLE But Alf too hurt, and can't make the cover! Stevens rolls back into the ring, and drapes an arm over Brock... COACH Look at this! 1... 2... 3!!! COACH WOW! *DING DING DING* COLE And Chris Stevens is going to win this thing! BUFFER [i]The winner of the match...CHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSS SSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] COLE Chris Stevens, after going through that announce table at the hands of Alfdogg, had enough fortitude, enough prescence of mind to roll in and score the pinfall! COACH What a huge win for Chris Stevens! This gives him some big time momentum! Stevens rolls out of the ring and staggers down the aisle, raising one hand in the air. COLE No doubt about it, it's all with Chris Stevens, with 10 days to go until Zero Hour! Let's go to...

http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/...select?.scrumb= That's the last spot, pending the two PM's I have out.

Basically, I would say a legend is a guy who had a reasonably big role in a promotion, and has their image stamped on some defining moments/matches or a defining era in wrestling history. Titles aren't always necessary, as in the cases of guys like Andre the Giant and Roddy Piper. Sid held a few World titles, but they weren't impactful at all (in fact, I think his longest clocked in at a whopping 2 1/2 months) in terms of either money-drawing or memorability. So (and I'm probably one of the biggest Sid marks you'll find here ) I wouldn't consider Sid a legend by those criteria.

I'd say Eddie was put over pretty strong there, more because of his personal story than anything. As far as the way the match ended, I'd say it was as much to put heat on Brock/Goldberg as anything, but it worked both ways.

Go ahead and sign up if you want, Harley. There's still two spots open, maybe four if the other two guys don't come back.

Arizona @ Baltimore (7.5) Buffalo @ New England (15.5) Detroit @ Philadelphia (6.5) (6.5) Indianapolis @ Houston Miami @ N.Y. Jets (3.5) Minnesota @ Kansas City (2.5) (4.5) San Diego @ Green Bay San Francisco @ Pittsburgh (9.5) St. Louis @ Tampa Bay (3.5) Cincinnati @ Seattle (3.5) Cleveland @ Oakland (3.5) Jacksonville @ Denver (3.5) (4.5) Carolina @ Atlanta N.Y. Giants @ Washington (4.5) Dallas @ Chicago (3.5) Tennessee @ New Orleans (4.5) KC - 18

Well, *I* have a master of Smack 'em Whack 'em. So n'yah.

Speaking of the Jazz, I just read that Dee Brown's still working out with various teams. If the Pacers have the money left, I'd love to see them give him a look. Charlie Bell signed an offer sheet with Miami a couple days ago and was pretty adamant about not wanting the Bucks to match, but apparently the Bucks haven't ruled it out yet. I don't get the whole "WELL YOUR GONNA PLAY FOR US WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT" sentiment in these situations sometimes. If the guy wants to leave, let him leave, shit. It's a little different when it's Elton Brand signing the offer sheet a few years back, but this is Charlie Bell we're talking about here. The guy's a solid player, but he's far from irreplaceable.

I've got PMs out to bob and IK. Once I hear back from them, I'll get the draft order up.
