Apparently Joe West made a bad call in the Twins game.

Every rumor that ESPN makes you pay for, SI.Com gives to you for free.

Okay.

In fairness to Pittsburgh, Bullinger, Van Benschoten, and Lincoln have all had serious shoulder and elbow problems.

Pancreatic Cancer is pretty much a death sentence.

Someone will buy the remaining tickets for the Vikings/Falcons game.

I remember seeing Robocop 2 with my Dad, and he kept making smartass comments the entire time.

What a stupid pick.

I'm finally on the board.

Orton allegedly told the WWE about the steroids. I still don't know if Orton got off, or if he'll be suspended after No Mercy.

What should happen to the suspended wrestlers when they come back?

They haven't had a QB since Ken Dorsey. Who wasn't a great talent, but knew how to win. Charlie Weis is doing a good of recruiting, so it will be interested to see if he can do anything witht the talent.

Vince Young, plus both teams can be very unpredictable. All signs point to a YAY on that, but as a Redskins fan, NFC East divisional games scare the shit outta me with their unpredictablity Maybe, but between the Cowboys and Giants, it's all going to come down to who's shittier. Don't forget the Cowboys have Wade Phillips coaching now instead of Bill Parcells. Major, major downgrade. And the Giants no longer have Tiki Barber. I think Dallas is pretty good team, and I don't think much of New York. So I'd call it an upset if New York wins.

I'm fairly confident that Dallas will beat New York.

The bastard is the WWE itself.

Believing that teams will regret not drafting Quinn doesn't sound like a stupid opinion.

I laughed at the Doctored Pepper line.

It sounds like they want Flair to stay, and are trying to work something out. I've never bought into the retirement rumors.

Talk about sour grapes.When you're only writing your "tell all" book because the WWE wouldn't hire you back. People are going to question you. Russ Haas had a heart condition prior to his death, he better have some concrete proof that air in the needle killed him.

At least he's honest.

Could we please stop saying that the Ref was untrained and had no idea how to take the move before? We don't even know what Ref it was, so how can we assume he "wasn't" trained? And why the hell are we automatically assuming that this one Ref doesn't know how to bump? For one, if someone doesn't know how to bump, Ref or not, they shouldn't be in the ring and if some company puts a Ref in the ring and that Ref can't bump, then that's the company's fault. The training or lack thereof, regarding the referee is irrelevant. The issue is that they made a public threat to potentially harm Cade and Murdoch inside the ring and then took a referee and made him take a unplanned bump. that's something that should be complained about, but to keep saying the Ref is untrained when we don't actually know is something else. Wasn't the problem the ref not being prepared to take the bump?

Don't have the Chargers have a bad record wearing the powder blue uni's?

Burke is the best backup idea I've heard so far.
