RepoMan

I don't see how rating could be lower for Rays/Phils. Philly is the #4 media market, the most passionate sports market in the US, and starving for a championship. It's going to get a huge market share. Plus there's enough fans in the Northeast he have reasons to tune in to root against either team. The Rays are a great underdog story that will draw in a decent amount of casual fans. It's easily the most appealing match up this decade. The last World Series I cared about was 2001 because I was sick of the Yankees getting all the 9/11 love despite being the evilest franchise in North America.

I find it funny the edited out bastards in their horrible racist call for vengence.

That's what they get for letting the fans decide the team name the same summer Jurassic Park came out. They wanted to sell merchandies to kids, and mission accomplished. I bought (or more accuratly had my parents buy) me a couple of Raptors t-shirts.

Why was Sabertooth there? And if the Islanders are going to have a mascot, they should get their own instead of barrowing one from an AFL team.

I thought McCargo had been doing a good job and added some depth on the d-line. It's not like the Bills are in rebuilding mood and need to stock up on draft picks. I don't get it.

I took Cleveland with the points in my pool. The Browns were considered a playoff contender pre-season with good reason, I figured they had under achieved up to this point. The Giants had played excellent, but hadn't looked like a juggernaunt that to be -7.5 on the road at a jacked up Browns Stadium on Monday night. I would have still picked the Giants straight up, but I'm not suprised by the result. Cleveland was do to play better, the Giants were due to come down a bit.

I figure if your just some community college, you might as well have a "cute" and unique nickname.

I just voted for Kanyon about a week ago as a joke, but I was sold on him being an upper mid-carder back during the Alliance era.

It seems like WWE is content to cut their losses vs. MNF and the NLCS.

Ugh, that's another terrible one. Porcine nicknames just cannot turn out well. They're pork chops! Awful! You cannot name your team after your dinner! The Buffalo Wings of the old Roller Hockey International. It would have been better if they used a Chicken Wing for the logo. I thought the Buffalo Bills were named after "Buffalo" Bill Cody.

This AAA franchise dates it's origins all the way back to 1899, perhapes the most storied minor league franchise. Notable alumni include Frank Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr, Joe Altobolli, Bobby Grinch, most of the current Minnnisota Twins. Is community owned, a la the Green Bay Packers.

Rochester RazorSharks of the Premier Basketball League. The prototypical minor league name formula. 1. It's one of the many "noun+animal" team names. See River Rats, Albany, Railhawks, Carolina, Sound Tigers, Bridgport. Yes, I'm sure their are many Tigers swiming around Bridgport Sound. 2. Alliteration! See, "Ragin" Rhinos, Rochester, Phantoms, Philadelphia, Jammers, Jamestown. 3. Uniquness. The owners of the Razorsharks originally wanted the team to be called the Razorbaks. But Arkansas already has the Razorbacks! So they had to go out and pick a unique nickname featuring a fake animal. My least favorite name in all of sports however is: The Syracuse Crunch. Another singular pronoun, and it's just a noise. Plus the logo sucks big time. I guess "Crunch" is somehow represented by an albino gorilla. Yet it's still a step up from their old logo:

I was ready to take Hall's side until I realize I laugh at 9/11 jokes all the time, esp. Gilbert Godfrey's joke a few weeks after 9/11.

I always liked the blue bar cage way better. It seemed like it would do actual damage if a wrestler was thrown into it, the bars didn't have any give. Everyone know getting thrown into aluminum fencing dosn't really hurt at all.

In wrestling terms, I'd say it would be when he won the WWE US Title. It was obvious his World title reign was more of a life time achievment award from the WWE and that they didn't have faith in Benoit being a real main eventer. He'd never move past the upper mid card again.

The idea is that Sting can't apply Joe's finisher properly and effectively, and vice versa. That, and "Fuck you!" adrenaline. I liked it. My brother always theroized that a wrestler would know how to take their own finisher better.

That was an enjoyable enough garbage match, Mongo certaintly didn't help.

LOL @ not being able to open to bag of tacks,

That was a retarded spot with Mongo and Beer Money.

ClayDude14 is a Carolina fan, but he just keeps to the wrestling fourms. You could PM him some smack if you like.

You want the state to pay for your rape kit?

"It's Hammer!"

Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle station.

I thought the whole Cartman vs. China had a lot of potential, but it went no where. I liked the new Indy film (so the Ark of the Covenent melting pepoles faces off, Ram ripping out a beating hearts, and a two thousand year old ghost protecting the Holy Grail is all well and fine, but adding aliens into Indiana Jones is totally out of place?) , so the entire joke feel flat on me. I did like that Lucas raped Indy on a Howard the Duck pinball machine.
