CSNY - Our House

ding ding ding

Word.

I picked the Royals... and the Brewers have to be the saddest team in sports. They actually looked promising last year - 2 allstars(Sexson/Jenkins), a 10 game win streak, rookie of the year(Podsednik), and an exciting new closer(Kolb). Of course they chose to get rid of the hugely popular Richie Sexson and have yet to resign Jenkins beyond next year. They made no major acquisitions, and I no longer count Ben Grieve as major. Was looking good, so they dump there top guy....wonderful.

Jeff Buckley - Eternal Life

hmm..I never even noticed the absence of that thread

Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 cd

Which dont you know?...I might be able to explain a lil Its a crazy lineup...They listed Dylan/Dave/Willie as headliners, you list Trey/Dead, and I would also add Primus and David Byrne. Thats in a 3 day event - 2 headliners each night, and theres like 60 other bands. By the way, Bonnaroo.com seems to be listing The Dead as the main headliner, ahead of Dylan and Dave Matthews.

Since the Lennox Lewis thread drew quite a bit of interest and theres apparently a few boxing fans here at TSM...I thought Id provide you with a list of major/good upcoming fights with a brief preview.... Friday, 2/20 ESPN2 Tokunbo Olajide v Larry Marks - USBA 154 Title - Olajide is a solid prospect and possible future world champion. He is rebounding from a shocking 1st round ko loss quite well and this should be his biggest test yet. Marks is a decent former world title challenger who has losses vs. Michael Covington, Cory Spinks, Andrew Lewis, and Agel Hernandez. His biggest career win came over a slightly faded Charles Murray in 2000. -Also on the card is undefeated middleweight Willie Gibbs and the great Bernard Hopkins is in-studio. Friday 2/27 ESPN2 Art Simonyan v Juan Ruiz - USBA S.Bantam Title - Simonyan(13-0-1) is on a big three fight winning streak(tko7 Radford Beasley, tko6 Ablorh Sowah, w12 Carlos Contreras). This could be his last fight before stepping up to the world championship scene. Ruiz is 16-1 Sat 2/28 HBO Erik Morales v Jesus Chavez - WBC S. Featherwt Title - The great Morales moves up in weight and immediately challenges for an ABC title. Morales is coming off a huge 2nd round ko over Guty Espadas and is looking as good as he ever has. The only man to beat Chavez since 1995 is Floyd Mayweather and holds victories over 5 former world champions. The first real big fight of 04 and it shouldnt dissapoint. -Also on the undercard, 2000 olympian Miguel Cotto looks to continue his rampage towards stardom in a major fight against Victoriano Sosa. Cotto is 18-0, Sosa is 37-3. Fri 3/5 ESPN2 Verno Philips v Julio Garcia - Philips is on a 5 fight win streak(including wins over Michael Lerma and Bronco McKart) since losing to Kasim Ouma in '01. Garcia is looking to get back in the title chase after having his own hot streak stopped by a JC Candelo knockout. Very good matchup. -Also Andre Purlette v. Lawrence Cley-Bey in a possibly entertaining, heavyweight crossroads fight. Sat 3/6 Showtime Joel Casamayor v Diego Corrales - WBO S.Feather Title - This is a rematch of one of the best fights of '03. Their fight last Oct ended in a controversial stoppage win for Casamayor when Corrales was bleeding badly from the mouth. Both are at the top of the weight class, theres alot of heat for the rematch, the two seem to really match up well, and its a must-win for both. This should be another fight of the year candidate already, and we already have one with Pemberton-Sheika2. -also, Mark '2 Sharp' Johnson defends his superfly belt against Luis Bolano(38-0) Sat 3/13 HBO Shane Mosely v Winky Wright - Undisputed 154 Title - Huge fight! It will be the first unification of the 154 weightclass. Mosely is on the rebound after going nearly 3 years without a win. Last Sept he defeated Oscar De La Hoya for the second time(apparently all three judges giving it to Shane by 2 points apiece was 'controversy'). Winky Wright hasnt lost since '99(a legit controversial decisions against Fernando Vargas) and has since scored wins over Keith Mullings, Jason Papillion, Bronco McKart, JC Candelo, and Angel Hernandez. -on the undercard its a great heavyweight matchup as the ne great white hope, Joe Mesi meets former cruiser champion Vassily Jirov. This fight has poitential to be yet another FOTY candidate. That makes two on this HBO show Sun 3/14 FOx Sports Really good doubleheader here...no idea how FSN will handle it though(tape delay, one fight on different nights, live, etc). Nate Campbell v Robbie Peden - SFeather Eliminater - Both have looked impressive lately and both desperately want a chance to prove themselves. This is that chance, total must-win fight for both. Winner gets a shot at IBF title. Should be a qualtiy scrap. Kuvanych Toygonbayev v Keith Holmes - Former champ Holmes takes on his toughest challenge since losing his world middleweight belt to Hopkins in early '01. Toygonbayez is 23-1 and hasnt lost a fight since a 6round decion to Kassim Ouma in 2000. Malcolm Tann and Robert Guerrero are both featured on the undercard. Sat 3/27 HBO Jermain Taylor will try to continue his quest to be the best of the 2000 olympian class as he fights the tough WBC regional beltholder Alex Bunema(24-3) Dominic Guinn will try to prove that he is the TOP young heavyweight in the world when he fights the man that barely lost to Joe Mesi last December, the veteran Monte Barrett. Sat 4/3 Showtime Two great matchups from Manchester England Sharmba Mitchell defends his interim junior welter title against longtime Commonwealth champ Eamonn Magee(25-4). Undefeated Ricky Hatton(34-0) with wins over Tackie, Hutchinson, Philips, Rios, Magee, and Pendleton meets possibly his toughest challenge in powerpunching prospect Kelson Pinto(19-0, 17 kos). Belts are on the line. Sat 4/10 HBO Cory Spinks v Zab Judah - World Welterweight Title - Undisputed champ Spinks goes right from his huge win over Mayorga to the ltwelter star Judah. Huge fight, a superstar should truly emerge from this. Spinks is a gifted, tremedous boxer and Judah is a charismatic, talented fighter with a serious punch. Also - Wladimir Klitischko continues his comeback after the Sanders blitz by fighting Lamon Brewster. This should be a massacre. Thurs 4/15 Show Attila Levin(29-1) vs. Jeremy Williams(40-4) in a heavyweight crossroads fight. Winner can stake claim for top 10/15 and bigger fights, loser might want to consider retirement. Sat 5/1 NBC Kermit Cintron v TBA. No idea how this fight will go but expect another great performance from the redhot Cintron. He will probably be a world champ and superstar in the next couple of years. This is also the start of the afternoon NBC boxing series for May. There ya'll go...enjoy... thanks to boxrec.com for records

I think the only decent push he got was being a Freebird lacky. Pretty sad. HE DID Pin Berlyn on PPV though Armstrong seemed to be on the verge of unseating Tully Blanchard for the World TV Title back in 1987 --- but then he was just stuck in a tag team with his dad and his career died. -=Mike Brad vs. Tully would have been an awesome series

Yeah...Guinn beat Dokiwari. But, I wouldnt call Williamson a 'tomato can'. He had fought and beat some decent fighters, and two fights prior to Mesi he fought through a broken jaw to win a decision.

He was one of the featured fighters on HBO's heavyweight tripleheader last September. He scored an impressive, lopsided decision over Sinan Samil Sam. Dokiwari and Mesi won fights on that show as well, Mesi by first round ko over Davaryl Williamson. Mesi vs Gomez...I would pick Mesi, good fight.

Lou Reed - Take a Walk on the Wild Side

I thought that with a decent push, Brad Armstrong could have been the face equivelant of a heel Barry Windham.

I would like to see those statistics as well.

the second funniest character in wrestling history, behind only WAYLON MERCY

Dilated Peoples - Expansion Team

I think that's something we can agree on. ...do you plan to order WMXX?

Hmmm... As I said, Ive only watched Raw the last 3 weeks, since Benoit won the Rumble. I didnt feel like I saw anything that really sold HBK as a gurantee for the signing. To me it seemed like it was booked as 'HHH-Benoit, with the outside possibility of a Shawn appearance. Maybe I missed something. And the crowd didnt seem like it any different for Shawn than they were Benoit. Seemed to be about the same pops and reactions. I dont think any really showed there to be any real interest in a HBK v HHH v Benoit match. Then again, I dont really fucking care, I just want to see WMXX end with Benoit holding up the belt.

Imo, I think this country might give marriage a bit too much credit, considering how many broken and bad homes there are. Whats the divorce rate again? Dont get me wrong, obviously the ideal family situation would be a mom and a dad and children and then extended family. Kids being raised in a healthy situation like this can learn and grow to be fine adults themselves. But seriously, how often does that happen in this country? I might just be skewed due to the sheer amount of sad, broken homes Ive seen, but they just seem to outnumber the good family lives. I personally would prefer a child growing with two loving moms or two loving dads then growing up with fighting, hurtful, abusive, or problematic parents. Of course, gay couples wouldnt always be Mike and Carol Bradyesque either.

Seriously people, no disrespect to any of your religious beliefs or anything, but why should anyone take advice on sexual issues from the Catholic church? Shouldnt the thousands of child molestation(often homosexual at that) kinda bar their leaders from saying anything about sexual laws or mores?
