I searched through about five pages of threads and didn't see a thread for them.

There were talks a while ago of the Bulls buying out Williams' contract, but not sure if it ever actually happened.

That's tough to do even in the NBA Live games... Oh, please. If you have enough shooters, you can score 80 in a quarter. EDIT: And for the record, I don't turn off any of the rules except for defensive 3 seconds.

That's just a Trillian error. I get that shit all the time when it shuts down suddenly.

Hey Rando, tell Frigid Soul he should come back to WDI.

Just sayin'.

According to Austin's book, Chris and Toni Adams were already married when the two met.

I was 3-1, but you probably all know which one I missed...

Just most of them.

There's a shocker.

Amazing.

National games Mon, TNT Houston @ Memphis, 8 PM ET Denver @ Golden State, 10:30 PM ET Wed, ESPN Minnesota @ LA Lakers, 10:30 PM ET Thu, TNT Houston @ Orlando, 8 PM ET Cleveland @ Sacramento, 10:30 PM ET Fri, ESPN Indiana @ Miami, 8 PM ET San Antonio @ Phoenix, 10:30 PM ET Looks like an interesting week...T-Mac returns to Orlando for the first time, O'Neal vs O'Neal, and the two best teams in the league wrap it up. Wolves catch LA without Kobe, and not sure if Nash will be back for Friday. Olowokandi and Nene were both suspended four games for their Friday night fight. Methinks it may not have been quite that stiff if not for the incident in Detroit.

I must be the only person here who thinks Benoit should be the heel if they end up feuding again. That was probably my favorite program of 2000. Plus, Benoit's been a face for what seems like forever.

The Wolves-Nuggets rivalry continues as Olowokandi takes a cheap shot at Nene while Martin is between them, then does the "back off while aimlessly flailing your fists to appear that you're putting up a fight" bit when Nene comes back at him. Nene landed a couple haymakers on him right in the face, too. K-Mart tripped and fell on his ass while doing his gloat job after an alley-oop, which I thought was pretty funny.

Pacers beat the Suns 101-83. Probably our biggest win of the year, though Nash left early from what I understand. Shaq said his matchup against Amare was "the old me vs the young me."

I watch RAW every week. I usually work during SD.

The BW3's where I live didn't show NYR due to "satellite problems", according to a friend that went there to see it. I've made plans to watch the Rumble from there, so hopefully this isn't a recurring theme.

I'm watching Fall Brawl '98, and they're showing the stuff where Saturn is Lodi's slave leading up to the match at the PPV. In one clip, Saturn has a sign saying "Lodi is not here", and Kanyon flips out (Lodi had been telling Saturn he couldn't touch Raven or Kanyon) before getting his ass kicked. The jobber standing in the ring as all this is going on is identified at the end of the clip as Nick Dinsmore, which if I'm not mistaken is Eugene's real name. Am I right about this?

It has something to do with how many Sundays it is from lent or something. Not sure exactly how to explain it.

I usually only go to BK for breakfast. I don't know when the last time I had one of their burgers was.

I surely hope you guys aren't speaking ill of the Dutchman. Craig Sager looked like he was about to cry when he was giving that update on Kobe.

Man, I'm glad Jason Kidd is back, I was really missing the constant fellatio he receives from the media.

Towards: Hogan, Sid, LOD Against: HBK and HHH That's all I can think of right now.
