Come on. Hal. After all, he was THE best GL in the Corps for a reason.

Nice slow build with the Benjamin/Batista feud.

DC will win. Barry Allen/Flash and Batgirl are derivitives of already established DC trademarks/copyrights.

Unfortunately your right. Magneto is back from the dead again.

His comments were right on it about the Victoria face turn. Even about Bradshaw, too.

I'd go with the Euro player. Their games are usually more complete and they seem more mature than high school kids, who just want to show off and be famous. I'm not saying that guys like Kobe and Garnett are passable, but as it becomes more common that there are direct from high schoolers in the NBA, less talented ones will come in to the league.

from Newsday.com Copyright war for The Flash BLOOMBERG NEWS June 4, 2004 By 1956 The Flash, 26, was slowing down, when an editor at DC Comics commissioned Carmine Infantino to breathe some life into the speedy superhero, a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court says. Infantino, a 79-year-old New York illustrator, says he revived the declining character, originally created in 1940, and now he wants a federal judge to declare that he, not DC parent Time Warner Inc., owns the rights to the fastest man alive. Infantino says in his suit that he's also the creator of Batgirl, and he wants a court to acknowledge that too. He filed the copyright claim yesterday against Time Warner, the world's largest media company, and DC Comics, where he was once president. Infantino is seeking monetary damages and a ruling that he owns The Flash, Batgirl and other characters he says he created from 1943 to 1967. The suit comes as media companies increasingly turn to comic book characters for films and other works. This month, Sony Corp. will release "Spider-Man 2," the sequel to its $800-million blockbuster."Obviously the characters have much more commercial value these days," said Infantino's lawyer, Nicholas Perrella. "Look at the Spider-Man movies." A spokesman for DC Comics didn't have an immediate comment. Shares in Manhattan-based Time Warner fell 12 cents, to close at $17.05. Infantino, who's won numerous awards for his illustrating, says his most famous character is the second incarnation of The Flash, whose real name is Barry Allen. He says he developed the character while working as a freelance artist. The Flash was recreated by Infantino in 1956, when Allen, a police scientist, was splashed with chemicals and struck by lightning, leaving him with super-human speed, according to the Web site Comic Art & Graffix Gallery. Infantino also takes credit for reviving the Batman comic in the 1960s, by giving the crime-fighter a new look and creating his fellow superhero, Batgirl. Infantino subsequently joined DC Comics, becoming president in 1973, the suit says. Perrella said Infantino gave DC Comics permission to use The Flash in comic books, not in other media.

Hopefully the Jazz won't blow it. If they are lucky enough that Pavel is still available, they should get him. Having a big center is a prerequisite in the Western Conference.

Definitely. I'm sure they could easiy get any of the Century Media bands (Lacuna Coil, God Forbid, Shadows Fall) relatively easily. They could propably barter band placement, kinda like what WWE does with their promo songs from Saliva, Puddle of Mudd, etc.

I think that's the beauty of any great story; when the characters are so well rounded that it is easy for the reader to change their position as antagonist/protagonist.

I wouldn't necessarily use it as a regular finisher, but it would be a different way to end a match.

I was going to ask for something like this. You did a good job. I'm stoked for impact.

The copy I receivd was sent was taped over a copy of Peter and Lois' wedding.

Fuck yeah. The album just wanders on and on. You would have thought that someone would have stopped Corgan from recording every musical idea that popped into his head. I've had the album for what, nine years now, and never have had the strength to listen to it in its entirety. I used to love Smashing Pumpkins, but that album totally turned me off.

I tried to watch Smackdown but fell asleep. Does that count?

^^^^ What he said. In the games where the Wolves won, it was because they were clearly the better team. What their biggest problem is, like in Game 5, for some reason they just happen to collapse once things stop going there way. It's not that they give up to wait for the next game, but they don't really have confidence in themselves when they start digging a whole for themselves. At the end of Game 5, Fisher was the only one really trying to get anything going, the rest of the team just stould around dejected.

Oh I agree with you on that it is crap when people are saying "They were just not interesting in beating the Wolves so they didn't", but what I'm saying is that there were days were LA seemed to just throw in the towel and say 'fuck it let's go finish the job in Staples' and not even try to comeback. They tried, I just think they gave up and tossed the game aside as unimportant. Again, there's that Laker ego. I will agree with those here who have commented on the whole "screw it" attitude the Lakers have shown. In the games where they started to get into trouble quickly, they really have collapsed. I don't believe that they totally decided to throw games, but it does make sense that at a certain point that maybe its best to just weather the storm and try again tommorow. But on the other hand, it was a HUGE gamble on their part to give up and bank on winning home games. Had the TWolves been as agressive the games after the ones what they won, we'd be looking at them going against the Pistons.

Very cool. Don't worry about the frame rate.

The early 90s weren't bad at all. XTinction Agenda is one of the few major multipart stories from that time that holds up. I'd give a little credit to Claremont up till the new X-Men launched, and even a little to Scott Lobdell, as his reign on the X wasn't that bad. Overall, the X books were kinda forgettable through the 90s. Very popular and a little entertaining, but now WOW moments that showed brilliant storytelling.

Hahaha...very fun stuff. I like the Smark comments being thrown in.

Actually, they beat the Dudleys for the Tag Titles in ECW once I believe. GREAT stuff man, I like the logo and everything, can't wait for the show. I know, but my promotion is based outside of reality. I'm workign on posting the complete history, which pretty much combines asepcts of WWE, NWA/WCW, ECW history together. I can't take full credit for the graphic, I was fortunate enough to find the file of the one WWF used back in 97.

That's what happens when you sit out most the season and are the fourth option in the Lakers ofense. People expected Karl to be playing the same way he did in Utah, but they didn't want him for that reason. He's there to rebound and pass the ball...That's why he gets almost 10 boards and assists a game. The paycut has more to do with than just financial, its the fact that he's also given up the spotlight in being THE player for his team. I'm happy as a clam that it's the Lakers/Pistons in the finals. Lakers in 6, but the Pistons will physically defend/beat the hell out of them.

Glorious? Glorious when he gets his freaking ring. Maybe if Miller and Layton (the Jazz' owner and GM at the time) actually built a team around him and Stockton they could have actually won in the finals. And as far as him "running his ass to LA", he's given up quite a bit for the hopes of a championship. He took a freaking 18 million dollar pay cut (and he did the right thing by stepping away before he became decrepid and a liabliity to the Jazz and giving them time to rebuild, which they are on the right page, but that's a completely different argument that I'll save for later). He's not their on the court weapon, but Karl is propably the biggest figure in the Laker lockerroom. Their respect of him has kept Kobe and Shaq from killing each other, helped calm Payton, and inspired his bench. I really can't think of anyone else in a similar position in the NBA, let alone someone who could come close to what Karl had been doing. Maybe Reggie Miller, but the Pacers management gave him all the reasons in the world for him to stay there by bringing in Jermaine, the emergence of Jermaine and Artest, etc.

The joke was the best way to handle the Sting question. Kudos to HHH for being able to think on his feet and JR having enough sense to keep the questioning on track...

I wasn't aware of Jarrett, Shane, and Young wrestling in AAA in the hexaring. Personally, I've never seen a match in one so I'm quite skeptical in general.
