Tom Brady was drafted in 2000 and a year later he's thrust into the starting job. He isn't doing a bad job at it, as I recall. Not the way the Patriots actually wanted him to start his career, I'd wager, but it worked out nicely.

Just schedule a poetry jam at some Compton high school and have him be the featured performer. Problem solved.

All he really has to do to improve in my eyes and still stay a face is eliminate the crowd pandering and turn his venom towards the heel he's facing. Take the promo on Big Show at XX; that's what I'm looking for. Keep the raps fresh, and don't get lazy with the gay references and "Deez nuts" crap, and he'll be even more over. The ring work would still need improvement, though.

The two reviews I read in the paper today (Providence Journal and Boston Herald) were positive, but they both essentially said to leave your brain at home for this one. I know it's just a braindead popcorn movie, but I'd rather see Shrek 2, Mean Girls, and a few other movies over this one.

Must have missed it while proofreading. It WAS 1AM when I posted it. Fixed now.

Bazam!! I only wondered if it was 10:00 once this week. That's an improvement....I guess.

I'll have something fer sure.

I'll be thinking of you on Saturday sitting in Sec 27, box 154, using tickets I didn't pay a single cent to get. I'll also have a Fenway Frank in FS' honor.

I just wanted to point out to the forum techies that the board clock is off by about an hour and a half. It's 11:20 where I am now, but the most recent posts say they were posted at around 9:45. I checked and I have the correct time zone and checked the "Daylight Savings Time is in effect" box. Just thought Ill or someone might want to look into that.

That's Portland MAINE, not Oregon. They're the Red Sox AA team.

*Sigh* Let's take the talk about Kobe's rape trial elsewhere, please. Or at least hold off until the playoffs are over.

I hated Boston Public and, well, pretty much everything else David E. Kelly contributed to television. MST3K....well, it WAS on for 10 years, so I think the crew wanted to move on to something else. What I would like is some network to pick up the CC era (and Sci-Fi era now, I guess) episodes.

Hey, does anyone know offhand who is pitching Saturday for the Sox vs. Seattle? My mother scored four tickets from work (sec 27, box 154), and I was just curious.

Should have stopped right there. You've seen the rise of Shaq and Kobe, they have been perennial favorites, and they had a fantastic run in the 80's, which includes some of the greatest NBA Finals series in history with the Celtics. Plus the Dodgers haven't been that terrible. As for the NFL, LA has lost not one, but TWO franchises. There has to be a problem there, since football teams just don't get up and leave (well, if you aren't the Baltimore Colts, anyway).

The Mole. They have the first season of it on GSN, and it's lightyears better than 95% of those other "reality gameshows." I didn't watch the Celebrity Mole's, but I would assume that they weren't very good.

I too saw the "special sneak preview" on FOX last week, and I immediately knew this movie would bomb because the same problem that plagues other bad disaster movies; SFX first, plot second. Hell ID4 wasn't the greatest movie in the world, but youi could actually CARE about some of the characters because the actors actually made an effort to put forth a good performance (Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, hell, even RANDY FUCKING QUAID). Of course, there were the typical horrible actors (the First Lady, Quaid's kids), but they either died, or had few lines. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, TDAT doesn't seem to have much of a plot behind it and no real big name actors, so, like a lot of these no-brain summer movies, it will do really well this weekend and then drop off the charts next week because A) People will realize not only is it an empty movie, it isn't even a GOOD empty movie and B) they will spread the word to their friends. Who wants to see NYC get flooded AGAIN anyway? We already saw it in Deep Impact.

Plus, the Falcons have Vick to entertain them for years to come (if he doesn't break his leg again).

The list on the bottom is MY top 5, not ESPN's.

Chicago had the Jordan Era, so they still have a ways to go before they are "tortured". I'd put Cleveland over them in a second.

But the 76ers have been competitive, the Flyers were in the confrence finals this year, and the Eagles have been in 3 straight title games. I'd say they are pretty close to Boston; the teams are good, and there have been good players, but they just can't make it to the Promised Land.

Don't forget we're overdue for Junior's annual leg/knee injury that takes him out for a few months.

Gorilla Monsoon? He seemed to do things "for the fans" more than for the faces.

I think they actually tried a Divas show in 2002 on UPN, and it bombed.

*Sulks into the corner and weeps softly* Ok, I'm better now. I'm going to have to side with Goodear here (omg, mod disagreement~!). HHH has improved over the last few months, both in ring and in the promo department (he doesn't take the mic every single week and drone on about the same thing over and over. "I am the Game, I'm the best, blah blah blah). Sure, THIS week had the focus on HBK/HHH, but next week they could put more of a focus on Benoit/Kane, or Benjamin/Orton, or Eugene, or something else. But I do really hope that HIAC is the final chapter in that feud. Yeah, Shawn's resilient, but you'd think getting his ass kicked that many times would tell him something.

Has anyone seen that Red Sox movie yet? From the reviews I read, it's pretty much an hour and a half reinforcing the belief that all Red Sox fans believe in the Curse and drink a lot (well, the second part is true). I'm probably going to wait until the DVD comes out, or not see it at all. Oh, and I'm now accepting wagers on the number of Anglesault's Yankee bitches this week. The over/under is 10.
