I didn't really care that much until I remembered he was in Slap Shot. I just thought of his salad dressings. RIP.

They're actually playing at the old Spectrum? I would have liked to see that.

If you didn't take Denver yet, it should be the obvious pick vs. KC, yet I really don't want to pick a road team in a divisonal game.

I think it's still a tough case to make, particularly for BYU and Utah. Playing Northern Iowa and Weber State, respectively, is a black mark. If we get to that point, I imagine "if you're not in a BCS conference and want the title, you have to play the best opponents whenever you can, not FCS cupcakes" emerging as a fairly solid point against either team. With the advent of the 12 game season, almost everybody has a FCS team on the schedule. Ohio St. played Youngstown St, Penn St. played Costal Carolina, ect. ect. If BYU runs the table they definitely should be in over a one loss team from a BCS conference. I’ve always looked at BYU as a major program, due to them winning a national championship in 1984 and the Steve Young factor. The Mountain West in by far the best non-BCS conference and often better than the Big East, which is largely riding on the history of the defectors and being in the East Coast media market.

I feel the exact same way. Being a Bills fan really screws with your mental health. I feel like I'm jinxing the team if I start to feel any sort of optimism

I say cheer for who you like, but don't be a dick and just cheer for all the heels, esp. if you're by little kids. My personal rule of thumb is that if you like any of the faces about the same as the heels, be a good guy and root for the faces. Otherwise it's fair game. For example, I couldn't root against Jericho in his current fued. Slow clap during restholds. Cheer good moves. I also like to try and give an extra good pop for the midcarders I like. I looked like a total dork, but I marked out like a little girl when Rob Conway came out during a Raw I went to in the summer of 2006. Overall, if you're shelling out money to attend a live event, try to turn your smarkiness off and just go with the flow. The most fun matches are those that split the crowd 50/50, but that rarely happens, esp. that Cena is out. I've also made the mistake getting too drunk before hand and being too out of it to really enjoy the experience. If you like to drink, get a little buzzed if you want. Honestly, I've had the most fun at events being totally sober. Maybe I'm just too much of a mark, but I'm always in awe whenever I see any WWE "Superstar" live. Overall, you can ignore my ramblings, just do your best to have fun.

Weird to see USC playing on a weeknight.

I hate the Yankees, but I didn't find the hype for this to be all that bad considering all the history that happened there and that it's in the US media Mecca. I enjoyed that it played second fiddle to the Cowboys-Packers on network TV compared to a meaningless game on cable.

The relationship between Toronto and Syracuse soured, perhaps because Syracuse was frustrated at the quality of play and prospects. I think Syracuse envisioned acquiring the Mets, but Buffalo swooped in on that one. Yeah, I read some columns out of Syracuse bitching about SU football and that Buffalo "stole" the Mets to complete a shitty fall. I'm sort of suprised the Buffalo-Cleveland affiliation ended. Cleveland has provided consistantly competitive teams, and it allowed the Indians to grow a surprisingly large fan base in Buffalo. It seems like the Indians are hellbent on keeping all their affiliations in Ohio. But I'm sure most Buffalo and Columbus fans are happy with the new affiliations.

Wasn't that highlight from a CFL game? WTF is a CFL game doing on PTI Just because of the duck-duck-goose thing.

Twooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to get on TV, bring a fairly generic sign for someone who isn't going to have a lot of pepole bring signs for them. I got on Nitro in 2000 just for bringing a sign that just said "New Blood." And if you want to get on TV and enjoy the show, tape or DVR it and check if you show up latter instead who looking a the Titantron the whole time. Plus you get a way to relive the experience.

I think Austin-Cena would be THE money program, espcially if they give Cena some of his edge back. The could do the whole "passing the tourch" stuff. The probleme would be that the WM crowd, esp. in Texas, would probably shit all over it. In that case I would have Cena beat Austin to a bloody mess, then the next night on Raw Austin comes out as says he can respect anyone who can give out that kind of ass whopping and they down some beers.

Did it blow anyone else's mind that Wilbon had no idea what duck duck goose was? I was thinking that maybe unbeknowst to me that it was a "white" game, it looked like everyone invovled in the TD celebration was black.

I've been seeing consistant ads for Ghost Town for over a month. It looked like a stupid, paint by numbers, throw away comedy. Glad it flopped.

The Astros are bitching about having to play at Miller Park Um, maybe if you didn't suck during the first half, you'd have the wildcard. I'm glad the Astros are more concernced about not playing at Minute Maid Park than having much of Texas being wipped off the map. I hate Selig, but he did his best to try to sort out a delicate situation in the middle of a horrible natural disaster.

That's my least favorite talking point EVER. I enjoyed baseball the most in the early 90s when the Yankees sucked. I'll take the old Jays-O's races in the AL East races over Yanks and Sox. I'm turning into a Rays fan just because it allows me to spite both douchie fan bases at the same time.

I feel really good the Bills could pull out a win when nothing was going in their favor. Probably better for the team's development than blowing out the Raiders. Hopfully this will keep their heads on the ground and focused. Denver's orange alternates look like shit. If they want to wear orange, they should bust out 80s style throwbacks (that they never should have changed).

I guess I still should have used up Buffalo this week, but all the talk all week of a blowout by Bills fans and the high # of pepole picking Buffalo in the pool made me steer clear of that pick. I'm going to try and avoid picking for or against Buffalo if I can.

That was some of the worst clock managment at the end of regulation for WVU. The get the ball near midfield with about a minute left, and sit on two timeouts until there's only 4 seconds left just to try a Hail Marry. I try to root for the Big East, but WVU really got what they deserved for such stupidity.

Pure speculation, but I think Austin would be in showbiz if it weren't for the whole wife beating shenanigans.

I've flown pretty high in the past. You have to be drinking/usinga lot of drugs to be visably intoxicated to the point they won't let you fly. If he just had too much too drink, it's not that big a deal from WWE's point of view, but for Jeff's own sake, he should be staying away from booze as a (former?) drug addict. It certaintly dosn't sound as bad as the rumors were implying at least.

As Kent State alumni, I should make a joke about how raping and killing University of Akron students shouldn't be a crime, but that would just be wrong. I think a jury could have convicted him just based on his photo.

That's how I saw the match. Can't beat the refer-eye camera.
