The Czech Republic

You know, I've never respected World Wrestling Entertainment or ever afforded them just a single shred of credibility. But now that Jerry Lawler is wearing a suit, FINALLY they have earned my respect as an entity of integrity.

Here's one. You surround the ring, which rotates, with an electrified cage. The participants fight to get the other guy electrocuted ten times. Do this, and you win, and get the opponent's coin to add your belt. It's all my idea. Except not. Tell me where I stole it from and you get a gold star.

NO MORE HEARSAY! Please, WHAT is the purpose of this? Is it supposed to show that football players should never be on The $25,000 Pyramid? Kenny Mayne is not funny. "Yeah. I was going to ask you a question, but I think we'll just take a knee." Every freaking night. It's a waste of time. They could be talking about hockey for those two minutes.

As it is right now, we only have one of those. (Wirtz)

They didn't put an expansion team in the desert...they stole a perfectly good team from Winnipeg.

Well both Chicago teams are indeed very much in contention, which is only good if it leads to an El Series. Both teams do need a closer, but the Cubs need Smoltz more.

I hope the Mavericks win it all next year. I don't mind the Spurs. Maybe next year there should be a REAL upset, like Golden State or Chicago.

So basically he's Fletch

This needs to be quoted again.......AHAHAHAHAHA! Yep. So much for his bold prediction. (Did he intend that?)

You're inhaling concentrated quantities of known carcinogens. What's to debate? At least you can acknowledge that there's something dangerous about it. It drives me nuts that smokers and alcoholics and the like know they're killing themselves but don't try to right the ship. And quite frankly, fuck all this crap in the thread like "Smoking is great. It's not bad. Don't listen. It gives you character. Who wants to live long anyway? I'm not telling you anything you don't already know." You know who you are, and I really hope it's just a joke. Smoking tobacco is a disgusting habit, plain and simple, and I've seen it have a part in killing too many friends and family members for me to even endorse a stance of indifference towards it.

Smoltz to Chicago: Yes. Are there any "great players who never won a World Series" that we can give a trade-deadline lift to?

I disagree. There should be two cranky old men in the upper deck at every show, complaining about the match quality.

Great great Cubs win. Too bad Cincy and St.L both won.

But Red has titles as a GM and President so that breaks the tie.

What's that song playing in the Pistons ceremony?

I can see it now... "So the 13-year-old fat kids on their daddy's computer want some lightweights? Well WE GOT SOME LIGHTWEIGHTS!"

Guys, guys, guys, everyone knows the belt belongs around the waist of Sable...is she even around anymore?

Wow, it really IS a bold prediction. Hahahahaha.

Explain how the refs justified this please

100 Reasons threads are so out of style.

So with Bagwell's shoulder apparently still in bad condition, is it a matter of time before his arm sputters into the infield much like a broken bat?

Feeling bad for N'Awlins here, they built that new arena and everything and now the NBA wants the Hornets out of there.

Is it true that he never got a single demerit at West Point?

Marney's right...McCain's only real cross of the party line is campaign finance reform, and for the record, Feingold is an ass. BTW, I know I can look it up, and will, but who was Dukakis's running-mate in 88?

Moon Unit, thank you. And then the other two guys, Ahmet and Dweezil. I don't know what Frank was thinking, but damned if I'm going to question the actions of a genius.
