The Czech Republic

Oh shut the fuck up. I'm not even gonna go into detail. Just shut the fuck up.

WGN is available in over 65 million homes (which is more than TNT had when Nitro started or TNN had when they picked up ECW). 75% of those homes have WGN on channel 1-24, so the station is easy to find. It's a real sleeping giant of a network, and the Cubs still do great ratings for them. If they're getting a primetime slot (or even a good slot as opposed to the afternoon crap), it'd be a great move. Not to mention Chicago is the natural place to center a promotion to compete with WWE. There are also some very strong crossover opportunities with the Tribune newspapers (LA Times, Chicago Tribune and dozens of others) and the Tribune also owns TV stations all over the country (and part of the WB network). They're the fourth-largest media company in the US and produce quite a few TV shows as well. The other thing is since WGN has little original programming, they run ads like crazy for what original programming they have. I saw a lot for some "Extreme Paintball" show that's starting in the *Fall* that airs on Saturday Mornings. They'll have a lot more support than they did at FSN. I think the 8-10 EST slot on Mondays is open when they currently show movies and it would have minimal interference with sports. Also, WGN channel 9 and WGN Superstation are different feeds sometimes. I could never watch that Blastoff show because in Chicago, there was just morning news on at the time. WGN should have the morning news nationwide, because they're funny in that "we can say whatever shit we want it doesn't really matter" way. They should carry more Cubs games. I don't care what they do with TNA. Cute story, while we're talking about WGN: I was on the Bozo Show once, taped in November '94, aired February '95. I had to walk serpentine around a line of cones with a book on my head, which due to the shape of my head, I could not balance. I just held it there and handed it off to the other person on my team. Our team won the relay race. We won boxes of Matt's chocolate chip cookies and Little Mermaid hand-held games.

RAWK AWNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe best of 5 wasn't such a bad idear.

Worst job I've seen in years. There were some REAL obvious balls called strikes and vice versa. I could tell, and I was sitting several feet away from a 14" screen. That's called sucking at your job. I'm a Cardinals fan and that Matt Morris strike in the (5th I believe, could be the inning before) was atrocious. And the 7th inning was an absolute screw job. Surprised Flores only gave up one run in that inning. The big Cardinals meeting on the mound to tell Scott he was full of shit was a cool visual.

So then I guess they've discontinued the hummus grand slam?

St. Louis vs. Atlanta: Dale Scott is a horrible umpire.

Guess the Cubs pitcher! First inning: walk, four hits, three runs Kerry Wood, fuckin' duh

Hey. Tomorrow's not April 31st.

The reason I didn't take the Manson video seriously was because it looked like a fucking 4th grader's PowerPoint show. Frame 32: "BUT WHERE IS TEH PLANE?" *blast shitty metal* Frame 33: "THERE WAS NO PLANE!" And nothing bolsters credibility like Hitler!

I'll take John Tesh, who wrote the NBA on NBC music.

That was a good song, the one that plays during Jenova-Life (or was that Jenova-Death? I think it was -Life) I'd love to hear it done by a full orchestra, along with lots of other FF7 songs.

Guess this just means Bulls win the next two, and can wrap it up at home. PLEASE NOT SEVEN GAMES

Why do they refer to Miami as South Beach? I thought South Beach was just one neighborhood of many, or a suburb.

Totally. I'll never get why people think the leagues should be realigned into four divisions. That screws everything up and gets rid of the Wild Card.

Bulls don't reallly feel like winning, I guess. Interesting. Down by 13 at the end of the 3rd. I've seen crazier but it looks like DC willl finally win a playoff game.

Hey, there we go.

"Baby Mama" is up there in worst songs ever.

But I liked Aeris.

I blinged MY laptop.

"Even." You say it as if Time is this bastion of conservative journalism.

Pipe down.

If that's the Flash video with Marilyn Manson music, I can't take it seriously.

If that was a missile that hit the Pentagon, how do you account for the other plane?
