I thought they had beef, what with the "Take that crap back to Smoky Mountain Wrestling" comments on ECW commentary and other tales I've read around the internets.

"You only shot the President. You didn't shoot Brady, so I can get a gun like (snaps)" American Dad, as usual, ruled, but Family Guy was surprisingly focused. Well, as focused as the show can be. Poor Meg. Why must they hate her character so.

Post #12,000. Well, more like 20,000+. I have no idea what my real post count is. Point of the thread was this: "What the hell is going on around here?" I swear, you sit back and casually lurk for a month or so, take a trip up to New York for a week, come back, and there are all these e-bells and whistles on the board and there's an auction for a moderator spot. I love the idea of it going to charity but MAN what a goofy initial idea. I've also been somewhat scared of posting lest the TSM Illuminati v3.0 pounce on me with their vicious understatements and disdain for all things that might get them laid. Who are the members of this group? I think we all know the answer to that. EDIT: Editing is one-click simple again! Thanks for that, seriously.

Somewhat off-topic, but I gotta know: Where in the Malice at the Palace video does a dustpan get involved? I went back to watch it on YouTube for some perspective after this incident and didn't see it anywhere.

Everyone's blending together these days. The room... it's spinning.... FUCK ITS HAPPENING TO ME TOO EDIT MIT SERIOUS ANSWER: You're right, using proper names isn't your style.

You guys hear something?

Probably, but I take it as order the Smackdown brand PPVs, skip the rest. It is no coincidence that the four best WWE PPVs this year are all Smackdown ones. I've gone to the sports bar for every PPV since Unforgiven 2002, but haven't been motivated to go to the last four WWE/ECW PPVs now. I might've foregone what ended up being a dull KC/SD game to see that ladder match with the wild-ass bar crowd.

I'm already upset. Shouldn't this place be a smoking husk by now?

And the Eagles WON today, guys. Lesson: Avoid the Philadelphia area at all costs.

MeanMugginMatt (11:43:41 PM): Hey Kotz, would you have AOL by any chance? Kyliejunge (11:41:51 PM): Nope. MeanMugginMatt (11:44:17 PM): shit. I've tried everything, and the board won't let me post on there. Everytime it does, it says I'm not allowed to post in the topic. Kyliejunge (11:42:30 PM): Contact teh adminz MeanMugginMatt (11:44:35 PM): I can do it on any computer except mine. Already tried cookie deleting. I don't know what the fuck is going on. MeanMugginMatt (11:44:45 PM): already did. He told me delete the cookies. Tried. Failed. Kyliejunge (11:43:05 PM): I dunno. Masturbate furiously until you pass out, and hope the problem is fixed by tomorrow. MeanMugginMatt (11:45:21 PM): sounds like a plan. Thanks.

I dunno Czech, got a pithy response meant to undermine the original intent ready?

No, I'm thinking about it from a general football perspective. We've already improved upon last year, I simply don't want double-digit losses again. .500 would be nice, but I'm looking forward to next year already. This debate flares up every year in mid-late December and coaches always err on the side of caution, as they should.

So the message now is "Order our PPVs, there might be a prize inside?"

Cornette and Heyman together and laughing? Quick, someone save that to their hard drive.

I wonder if other winners of this award have been so unspeakably dumb in their receptions of it.

Look VX, I respect your opinion, but you're a Packers fan, asking the Bears to sit their starters, in the final week of the season, against the Packers, when the Packers might have something to play for. I would say you're a teeny bit biased here. Bears shouldn't rest their starters. They are already thin as it is on defense. They need to continue building up Rex's confidence for the playoffs. The earliest they should sit their players is halftime. You and everyone else have GOT to be kidding. Every team that's got that much of their playoff situation assured rests their starters the last week or two of the season. The first quarter is the latest you'll see the big names on these teams. There's no need to get your stars injured when you've sewn up that #1 or #2 seed. You know the Chargers will do this at least since last year saw Drew Brees injured during the meaningless season finale. The Bears will probably play the whole first half against the Packers for rivalry reasons, but it would be retarded to leave Rex Grossman out there longer than necessary. You might see it as building up his confidence, but a coach sees it as a chance for him to get hurt and Grossman's confidence is suddenly shoved to the rear of their concerns. Would Bears fans want to see Brian Griese or Kyle Orton trying to lead them through the playoffs, homefield advantage notwithstanding?

Probably because it wasn't particularly visionary to make that statement around 1pm on Election Day itself.

I made a bowl! Holy shit!

WWE should do a remake of another Patrick Swayze movie. You know damn well which one.

Kentucky is also 7-4 and going to a bowl for the first time in a while. I'm not scared or anything, but am actually glad that Tennessee has a game against a decent opponent before their bowl for a change. The last three weeks for us are usually sleepwalking weeks with South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky at the end of every year.

Guys, guys, we're all good posters! 'cept Agent.

Hey, I forgot all about the UCLA game. Whoops. Arkansas would put up a spirited fight, but Ohio State would trounce 'em. I still expect them to lose to LSU anyway and look at talk of them being in the title game as lip service. Florida would present a much better matchup but I'm not sure I'd like the Gators' chances. Michigan and a USC team that wins out would both be the best possible opponents. I'd like to be an SEC homer and argue for Florida if they don't lose another game, but I really can't. I'm still bitter about Auburn in 2004.

I've said USC, Florida, and Texas (not anymore but at the time I said it they hadn't taken a second loss) were better than Michigan since the first BCS rankings came out. Seeing as the title picture has narrowed a great deal since then and it's either going to be USC or Michigan playing in the championship, I'm arguing for a USC/OSU matchup. If my Vols were involved I'd argue for them, but they aren't. I'm far from being any kind of Trojans mark, but I can't see any practical case for a rematch in Glendale. Say Ohio State wins again. What would it prove? Say Michigan wins. Sure they beat the #1 team in the land but it was on their second try. Also, should USC beat Notre Dame this weekend it would mean they (Michigan) made it into the title game by the narrowest of margins and a similar situation to the 2002 season would emerge if USC and Michigan won their respective games. Shit, that year was such a clusterfuck that the AP disowned itself from the BCS system. Bringing comparisons to other sports into the discussion is meaningless because D-IA doesn't have a playoff system and there's no such thing as "boxing season." It's why late November has produced these kinds of arguments since 1998. This particular argument is moot anyway since a win over Notre Dame will almost certainly put USC in the title game. It's a rare instance where I'm glad Notre Dame is overhyped, because they're getting blown out or at least soundly defeated on Saturday night. Like, two touchdowns or more. USC/ND and Texas/USC last year were good examples of games that were worthy of rematches if the same situation had developed somehow. Right now everyone's looking at the three point final margin and still in the hype frenzy, but the game wasn't nearly as epic as it's being made out to be. The atmosphere and setting were unrivaled, yes. Michigan did very well to remain competitive deep into the fourth quarter, but they freakin' lost. They're a great football team and more than worthy of a Rose Bowl berth, and heaven help whoever they play because they're going to be pissed. People trying to downplay not winning your conference as being inconsequential are laughable. When Nebraska and Oklahoma went to the title game without winning their conference holy hell was raised. Now it's okay because the team that didn't win its own conference this time happened to have a pretty good game despite a losing effort? All of this sound and fury is going to be moot by late Saturday night as Brady Quinn is picking USC's cleats out of his teeth in the locker room, so I'm going to (foolishly, no doubt) put my faith in the system and hope it works to give us a real national championship game of USC/OSU. I'm done with this until next week.

Playing the "Team A lost to Team B who lost to Team C which had Record D" card doesn't work. Michigan lost. No rematch.
