I was, but it just seems like the AFC "powers" (NE, Indy and the like) have regressed a little bit and the NFC is starting to catch up. The interconference battle was pretty even last year and I don't think that was a one-year thing. I think an NFC team has a pretty good chance at taking the Super Bowl without needing to pull off the greatest upset of all time.

Can we say that the days of "AFC rulz, NFC droolz!" are over? It just seems like the conferences have gotten much much closer in quality over the past two seasons.

So these are the matchups for Sox/Rays this week: MON: Edwin Jackson vs. Jon Lester TUE: Scott Kazmir vs. Dice-K WED: Andy Sonnanstine vs. Josh Beckett The matchups are fairly favorable to Boston. I still don't know how he does it, but I'd take Dice-K over the inconsistent Kazmir. I think they take 2 of 3 and take over the lead. The Blue Jays can be major spoilers in the division race since they still have 7 left with the Sawx.

Week 1 is typically a crazy week. I wouldn't put a whole lot of credence into the results as far as the rest of the season goes. Some teams just break out of the gate better than others.

I know, but that was the baseline a lot of people had. 10 is probably the absolute best they can do since they can win a lot of ugly, scrappy games like they did during their run.

It would be more entertaining if he reached The Don levels. GREAT JOB CARLOSS ZAMBRANO SUCK DICK SPIC BEANER!! I WANT THE TRIBUNE TO FIRE THE COMPLETE FRONT OFFICE, FUCK YOU HENDRY, I WANT PINELLA AND ALL OF HIS COACHES FIRED EXCEPT FOR TRAMMELL. TO THINK THAT TRAMMELL COMES SO CLOSE TO GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THIS TEAM OF GUTLESS PUSSIES CHOKES TO THE FUCKING MILWAUKEE. FUCK MILWAUKEE AND FUCK EVERY SINGLE CUB FOR EMBARASSING THE TEAM AND THE BEARCUB ON THE LOGO AND THE CITY.

They might as well tank the season for a high draft pick (is it possible to run DOWN the score?) because even if they make it in, no combination of Culpepper, Simms or Cassell gives me even a remote bit of confidence. The defense is going to have to put in a 2000 Ravens effort to even reach the 12 win mark.

I guess even I can have success if I had Randy Moss to throw to. That pass wobbled more than Jell-o in an earthquake. EDIT: Playing the Chiefs helps.

They have absolutely no confidence in Cassell.

Think the Carson Palmer play.

Jets wear green on the road, so you can't have two teams with similar colors out there.

Chiefs hold on 3rd and then run into the punter to give the Pats a 1st. They play to win the game.

If A&M can hold on, it looks like I got me an upset.

So now the division lead can be cut to 1.5 with a win tonight and potentially just half a game by Sunday night. That series starting Monday is going to be the biggest of the season for both teams. EDIT: Dammit MLB.com, update your standings faster!

Darren McFadden is a slick motherfucker; guys were just sliding off him. This ended up being the turning point in the game since it gave me the cushion I needed to focus on containing McFadden.

I liked the one with Dusty in the splitscreen pulling out some cash and counting it as Flair goes on about how much money he's made.

Can either of these parties give me one concrete reason to vote their guy in? So far all I've heard is "Vote for us because CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE! (P.S. Our opponent is old and Bush v.3.0)" and "Vote for us because HE'S A MAVERICK AND A WAR HERO! 9/11!" I guess I have to wait for the debates for that, but even then we'll probably hear the same stuff dressed up in diplo-speak to disguise the fact that neither guy really has anything. The VP debates will be a joke, but who gives a shit about an office that was created for the sole purpose of having a warm body in the same building in case anything happens?

Any reason why this show was so short when last week's was 90 minutes?

There was a thread with links to MP3s of a bunch of shoot interviews a while back. I'd like to revisit that to see if I can get the Cornette one from '03 and a Heenan one.

"Drill, baby drill!" is good, but there were no props like the "Flip-flop!" chant of 2004.

I enjoy listening to these over boisterous, rah-rah speeches from both conventions. It isn't making me more willing to vote for either of these guys in November, but the entertainment value is there.

Looks like I got everything but RAW, Nitro and part 1 of Superbrawl. Odd on the Superbrawl thing.

Yeah, the four hour Cornette one is pure gold. I forget the names, but he tells a story about two wrestlers picking up a hitchiker in Alabama and pretending to get into a fight in the car before one shoots the other with a blank and makes the hitchiker run for his life. His rants on Vince Russo and Bischoff (he HATES the both of them) is what makes it. I can't even begin to transcribe it; you have to hear it yourself.
