The Ghost of bps21

That'll be one of the last ones wouldn't it? When is he done taping Late night?

Welcome to every game I've ever seen the Canadiens win. Just be happy you only have to see it very rarely.

Sure, but Buffalo was also the third highest ratings watcher for the NHL playoffs last year behind only Pittsburgh and Detroit (who both made the finals) and we didn't even make the playoffs. We were also the third highest to watch the Winter Classic (behind Chicago and Detroit...who played in it). So it's not simply that theyre's nothing else on. We watch any hockey more than everyone else.

Here's an article about ratings and attendance trending up in the US. http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/61172 Here's the local ratings that teams are doing this season in the US for those who don't want to click: Buffalo - 8.87 Pittsburgh - 6.14 Detroit - 3.7 Minnesota - 2.22 Philadelphia - 2.22 Boston - 2.16 Colorado - 1.65 Colombus - 1.43 St. Louis - 1.32 San Jose - 1.25 Washington - 1.2 Chicago - 1.07 NYR - 1.03 Dallas - .52 Phoenix - .5 Tampa Bay - .49 LA - .38 New Jersey - .38 Anaheim - .29 Atlanta - .23 NYI - .17 Florida - .15

Buffalo has had an embarassing economy for decades and we sell out our games. People in buffalo love them some hockey.

The now former gov. of Illinois who was impeached and removed this week for trying to sell Obama's vacant Senate seat. It's a huge news story in the states.

I don't think that match left nearly as much money on the table as Vince's fucking up the Invasion did.

My legit pick would be the Steelers, probably pretty big. But I'll be rooting for the Cards. Is it me or does this game have far less hype than Superbowls usually do?

I liked the look on Bubba's face when Steiner introduced them being from Dunkin Donughts and the state of obesity. Then he shook his head in agreement and raised his arms. Awesome.

These things were always fun until they went way too far and introduced Palin as a character. Hopefully there is no Blagojevich personality.

She really has ruined what has been a surprisingly great season of this show. Hopefully they kill her off and get back to the awesomeness that the season had been all about. I don't mind that she got herself powers...becuase in the comic world they live in it really kind of makes sense. She'd had a taste of them before, she's been a victim for so long, and it makes complete sense that Lex would develop something like that. Now...as soon as you get a gift like that something terrible has to happen. That is the rule. And I look forward to seeing it enforced next week.

You could have posted that in the spoilers thread instead of pretending to have a comment on something you "watched". That's sad.

No the best part is that he avoids commenting in the WWE folder when WWE does something stupid. I look through that abomination of a Raw thread and...nope... Nonsensical Hardy turn? Comments? Nope. He's a troll. He's always been a troll. Just ignore him like everyone else has learned to. This is, after all, the guy who said Mike Adamle did a fine job after his first time commentating ECW.

Bob didn't watch did he? Hernandez tagged in ONE TIME and squashed Angle...then when he couldn't get tagged in for the rest of the match...came in and squashed Angle before getting dumped to the outside for the finish.

They sell it as being good until next years Mania...so that doesn't matter.

Hey, Hernandez is going to be getting another World title shot down the line since the Mafia screwed him last time.

All of Booker's commentary was immediately paid off when he took the mic into the Petey Williams post match and called himself beating up Creed and the gang. Also...Scott Steiner should always be the intro guy

As soon as Abyss bled the match was over. It would have been stupid for the champions to stick around and risk injury when they'd already won.

The opening video where the MEM painted the Frontline as the bad guys got a good chuckle from me.

All ties go to me.

You're completely missing the point. He had a decline accross the board after turning 30. Just because he numbers were still good doesn't mean that they were on par with what "top-level" for him was.

"believe most Hall of Famers (except in football) need to have top level success after hitting 30. If they can't do that, they aren't a Hall of Famer" Gretzky never scored 40 goals after turning 30.

That's kind of a weird statement anyway. Everybody's best years are before they're 30. Even a guy like Gretzky saw a sharp decline.

What team is he going to be playing for? Cause this joke or a franchise isn't winning shit.

I maintain that anyone who doesn't use the briefcase in the manner that Punk and Edge have is a fucking retard. You can talk all you want about faces being "honorable" and whatnot...but it's just flat out DUMB to not cash in on an injured opponent. And people shouldn't root for idiots.
