Where's the love for INTENSE~? Remember, you can't be violent, but you can be physically intense.

Hey, I might not know my uncle's birthday, or my OWN phone number, but where do I call to find out which wrestling legend that recently returned to WCW may be contemplating membership in the nWo? 1-900-909-9900! Tommy Rogers

Wasn't Viscera's music just a generic rap beat? And you wanna talk underrated theme songs, "Blood Brother" for Christian that he used for one week or so but still ended up on the CD, that was a swank tune.

See, now I didn't even know about that, I just said that because the formula for his WCW Hotline shills is just so infamous. I mean, we even remember the number and everything.

I've gotta disagree. Hockey in Raleigh is bad for the game. And hockey in Greensboro for those two years before the RBC Center was a hideous blemish on the game. Talk about a poorly attended small-market team. I'm willing to bet that the Whalers would've been able to get a new arena sooner or later, maybe working out some deal with UConn basketball to share the building. And of COURSE we all love the Whalers: green and blue sweaters, Brass Bonanza...classic stuff. Like Tim Meadows once said on SNL when he was happy about the hockey strike ending, "The Whalers are fly, man, the Hartford Whalers are fly." Seeing as Winnipeg just got a new downtown arena, I'm sure had the Jets stuck around, they would've gotten the new building. Maybe not in 1996, but somewhere along the way, before '04. Quebec City is harder to gauge, especially since I agree that the Avalanche have been a success, but the truth of the matter is that Denver was slated to get an expansion team anyway, and we could've easily had both teams in the league. But I'm sure that the 1996 Cup win would've swayed the provincial government to help the Nords out a bit. I think that if the NHL hadn't gotten out of hand with player salaries, then the system would have accomodated all eight, perhaps even nine, Canadian teams. In the end, Manitoba is where people can and do play hockey, Arizona is not. New England is a hockey haven, the Mid-Atlantic belongs to college basketball. The NHL failed because they did not stay within their means.

I'd rather see the Dodgers than the Cardinals. And besides, St. Louis just won't win the National League. And I'm even LESS certain about New York winning the AL.

He should read the lyrics to "Jump" in a dark, suicidal fashion.

See I always liked when they referred to a man who practically owns women and sells them for sex for his own personal gain as "a big fun-lovin' guy."

Fox Chicago has been all over the place, but recently, more recent episodes. We get it at 5, 6, and 10, and I really hope we don't lose a slot to something like Malcolm in the Middle. Bart Simpson > Bob Barron

I realize that I mixed up the columns, but I can't fix it.

It's just a big fun-lovin' restaurant.

You know what's surreal? I was reading this sports-marketing book that I found lying in my basement, it was from the early 90s. There was a chapter on the costs of building new venues, and it had listed a "Manitoba Gardens" and "Nouveau Colisee de Quebec" listed as buildings that were about to be made. After reading about the NC State thing with the Whalers, I wouldn't put it past Bettman to have orchestrated the relocations out of Canada. But the question is still, "How the HELL is Raleigh a better market than Hartford?!?"

Um, the whole point is that they all stopped being funny. the NBA Jam stuff hasn't gotten burned out yet, actually

aw I forgot about BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA, it's a new one, forgive me

Hey hey, Cubs win, all three runs via Corey Patterson.

But that's what we love the most.

The one week where everybody mocked Drury's "Thanks" by having their own taglines after every post (mine was "...That's My Momma!", for instance) was pretty good. The Baby was funny, then it went away, and when it came back it stopped being funny.

It's 2-2 in the bottom of the 9th in Chicago with Todd Walker up to bat.

Well he spelled "assassin" incorrectly.

When she did the splits that one time she made a really scary face. And her BUTT is hungry. AHHHH

I blame Bart Gunn for that. I blame the school system.

Jack Doan should move to the announcers table.

Lawler: Did he say vulvas?

I vote for Snitski or whatever his name is

A Draft Lottery...led by BRET HART! With an exploding cake! Hell, that's how they should replace the Raw set, everyone just pops out of an exploding cake.
