First time reading this thread.

They don't specify, but I am going to include players that catch INTs to spice it up. EDIT: Changed my mind as that would probably tilt it more towards the overs. EDIT2: Added separate propositions (10a and 10b) regarding INTs.

Because simply betting on the outcome isn't enough for some people, I looked up some proposition bets on Bodog.com and decided to have a little contest. Winner gets bragging rights. Unfortunately, they don't have the "Which will be higher: Bernard Berrian's receiving yards or Tiger Woods' final round score that Sunday" proposition I saw in the paper today. I swear, people would bet on the gametime temperature if it was available. Anyway, here you go. I'll limit it to the 11 most interesting ones: 1) How long will it take Billy Joel to Sing the National Anthem? (Clock starts with first note sung) Over 1m44s Under 1m44s (1m31s) 2) What will Prince's first song of the Halftime show be? (Odds in parenthesis) Let's Go Crazy (1/3) Song of the Heart (3/1) Purple Rain (4/1) When Doves Cry (6/1) 1999 (5/1) Little Red Corvette (4/1) Kiss (6/1) Other (7/2) 3) Team to score first in the game Colts or Bears 4) Team to score last in the game Colts or Bears 5a) Team to use their Coaches Challenge first in the game Colts or Bears 5b) Result of that challenge Play overturned Play stands 6)Team to commit the Most Turnovers in the game Colts (3) or Bears (5) 7) In which half will there be more points scored? 1st Half (30) 2nd Half + OT (16) 8) Will there be a lead change in the Second Half? Yes No 9a)Total Number of Indianapolis Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs) Over 7 Under 7 7 = PUSH 9b) Total Number of Chicago Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs) Over 6 1/2 Under 6 1/2 (6) 10a) Total number of Indianapolis defensive players to Intercept a pass Over 2 1/2 Under 2 1/2 (2) 10b) Total number of Chicago defensive players to Intercept a pass Over 2 Under 2 (1) 11) Total points scored by both teams 0-7 8-14 15-21 22-28 29-35 36-42 43-49 (46) 50-56 57-63 64-70 71-77 78 or more Good luck.

I assume this was supposed to be in a joking manner......but it's 6-1 right now. And Krejci got taken out on top of it. They were called for FOUR penalties in the first TWO MINUTES of the game!

*Standing ovation* *Standing ovation* *Shot of generals in front row* *Standing ovation* *Shot of Hillary Clinton smirking and thinking "Get testicular cancer"* *Standing ovation from the Republican side*

If he becomes #2, he will be FAAAAR behind Rice due to the fact that he only has two postseason TD receptions and always seems to shrink from the spotlight in big games (he didn't exactly do much in the title game).

She (Brooke Smith) also was on a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Daniel Minahan, the writer/director, also directed a few episodes of that show. I don't think the show depicted in the movie is meant as "population control" like Battle Royale, it's more a manifestation of reality TV taken too far. There may be some government control (how, except for Tony, the characters chosen seem to accept their fate without much fanfare, when one of the characters tries to run the police are right on them, etc.). I'll grab the DVD on NetFlix because there's supposed to be an alternate ending to the last scene in the movie theater.

So who has the most pressure on them in this game? Grossman's out, since everyone's expecting him to suck anyway. Manning's the obvious choice, but that's too easy. I'm gonna go with the Colts defense, Dwight Freeney and the rest of the front four in particular. Grossman likes the long ball and the Colt secondary is probably the weakest part of their D, so if the front line can't get to him, he may be able to connect with a couple of long strikes. They won't really have a speed advantage on the grass (and there's a chance of rain in Miami on Sunday), so the Bears may also be able to get some runs off as well. I'm gravitating towards picking Chicago at this point (If I was betting, I'd take the 7 points easily right now).

I'm not going match-by-match, but here's some out of order bullet points: - First off, nice presentation by EWC. I liked looking in on multiple competitors right before the Lethal Rumble. - Jade/Stacey was a well done comedy match. Don't really know if that's it for the feud or what, though. I know the girl that represents Stacey in the graphic from somewhere, but I can't place my finger on it. - Who first started using emoticons in matches? Was it Tony? It certainly is easier to just do that instead of writing out "A scowl crosses Landon's face as he sees Zack hanging on". - All three tag matches were good. Both KC and Patty are probably better than anyone in injecting humor into their matches while Ed is good at keeping the action going (which is doubly tough with another team added in). - X-Title match got the job done throwing some CONTROVERSY~! into the title picture. - The ending to the Rumble came easier than I expected as I kinda turned Zack into Shawn Michaels circa 1996. - Survive or Surrender was what it should have been: chaos. Zack could have tormented Bruce a little more before the finish, though. Overall, a great start to the PPV year. Looking ahead, I think AngleMania is going to have a better buildup than last year.

Hey, as long as they fight to the end, Dave Lewis is happy. They'll somehow get the 8 seed and be absolutely humiliated in the first round.

"Is so REEEEEEEEEAL!"

I've seen it as well. If you have the Sundance channel, it's going to be on at 7:30 tomorrow night. It's very well done. I saw it in one of my TV production classes four or so years ago and you get so sucked in, you think you are actually watching a real TV show.

Media Day tomorrow. I'm sure Ross the Intern is getting all excited to film another *ahem* "comedy" bit for The Tonight Show and the punters are anxiously awaiting being interviewed by Ukranian TV. They should just turn those little booths they use into dunk tanks and only the reporters that can hit the target are allowed to ask the questions.

They did their homework in this article, at least. Of course, then they decide to put THREE guys in the SportsNation poll that aren't even mentioned in said article. That's just sloppy work. I'd still put Morton on top with Fran Tarkenton right behind.

I had to restart my FFXI game after reaching the Phon Coast because I majorly fucked up with the License Board and wasn't prepared for the spike in difficulty that occurs once you cross the border into Archadies. I'm back at that point and have enjoyed the game so much more on the second try. The thing is, the story needs to really kick in like yesterday. It's good, but there really hasn't been the one "big moment" that was prevalent in the other games.

I second the Monkey Island series. Even Escape from Monkey Island had it's moments, but my favorite is probably Curse because of not only the writing but because it looked great. "How appropriate, you fight like a cow."

The question asks: "Who is the worst Super Bowl quarterback ever?" What the hell ELSE am I supposed to interpret that as? You can't say they just put a bunch of names people recognize there because Joe Fan probably (like I did) had to look up who Ferragamo and Woodley were. I'm pissed because they did that poll just to further the whole "Rex Grossman sucks" story. It also furthers the "Trent Dilfer was lucky to have that defense because he sucks too" belief which is just unfair to both guys.

I hate to say it, but they already blew the perfect way to end the streak with Orton a few years ago. The way things went makes sense on some levels (Undertaker still has a few tricks up his sleeve), but if they wanted to end the streak in the most logical (whoops, there's that word again) way and give someone a major rub (though this is Taker we're talking about), that would have been the perfect way to go.

I don't think Bruce will get his match in tonight, so just post everything else and add it in when you get it.

Those ESPN.com choices are hilarious. Tony Eason threw just SIX PASSES in that game; if they were putting the Patriots QB in, at least put the guy that played the most (Steve Grogan, who threw two picks, one for a TD). Vince Ferragamo was 15-25, 212 and 1 INT. Not great but certainly not the worst, especially against the Steelers. Woodley's probably the guy that (statistically) should win this poll or be second behind Grogan. He was 4-14 for 97 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. And people wonder why a "Another reason that ESPN sucks" thread exists. Do your homework instead of just throwing out names, guys. I feel like I'm turning into the Alkeiper/Bored of football here.

Stacking the odds against John Cena...I wonder why WWE hasn't tried doing that yet?

"The Rex Grossman hate is worse than the Patriots hate here." Seriously, Grossman's gonna probably have a higher completion percentage than Manning and is probably going to throw just as many TD passes. If the Bears win (which you can't convince me that they can't), I hope Rex just grabs the mic from Jim Nance and screams "HOW D'YA LIKE ME NOW, FUCKERS?" while giving the Lombardi Trophy a tonguebath. The absolute worst QB in the Super Bowl era is Craig Morton (scroll down to the bottom). 7 INTs in just 41 pass attempts? THAT takes a lot of suck to do. Jim Kelly is close because he either didn't do much to win (XXV, XXVIII) or outright sucked (XXVI) in the three games he played the whole game. Trent Dilfer didn't exactly do all that much either, but he didn't turn it over and did his job, so he should be excluded.

11 straight losses for the Celtics now and I don't see that freefall stopping anytime soon. With their luck, they'll get the most ping-pong balls and end up with the 7th pick anyway.

As one, the Dunkin' Donuts Center crowd rises to their feet as the final four competitors take a moment to gather themselves. COLE For those who don't remember, both Zack and Tha Puerto Rican were in this position last year with Alfdogg and Leon Rodez. Alfdogg ended up walking out the winner after eliminating Zack with a big assist from Axel. Suddenly, both Puerto and Landon bumrush Zack Malibu in the corner, peppering him with right hands (by PR) and knees to the gut (by Landon). COACH Smart move, going after the guy that clearly has little left in the tank. [b]"ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK!"[/b] A deafening chant rocks the arena as the fans make known to the world who they are sticking behind. Tony Brannigan decides to get into the fun and pulls PR away from the corner by the hair, but PR makes his displeasure at the interruption known with a back elbow to the face. He tries another, but Tony ducks, the whiff spinning PR around and allowing Tony to pick him up in a fireman's carry and try to pitch him over the top. COLE Look out, Puerto's in a bad place right now! COACH NO! PR grabs the top rope and holds it tightly as Tony tries to muscle him over to the floor. Meanwhile, in the corner, Landon has Zack on the mat and has his foot placed right on Zack's throat, trying to squeeze whatever air and fight is left out of him. PR reaches over and gouges Tony's eyes, causing Tony to release him and stagger away in pain. PR hunches down for a moment, waiting for the right time to charge as Tony shakes the cobwebs out near the ropes. PR charges......but Tony catches him with an Out of Body.....NO, a hotshot on the top rope! COLE Hotshot by Brannigan stops him cold! COACH He was probably hoping that Puerto would bounce right out to the floor, but he hung on. Tony waves for Puerto to get to his feet and charges when he does so.......but Puerto falls back to the mat, pulling down the top rope as he goes down..... .....and Tony goes over and out!! COACH YES! COLE Tony Brannigan is GONE!! What intelligence shown by Tha Puerto Rican in eliminating a former World Champion! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 27th Elimination: Tony Brannigan time in ring: 4:43 eliminated: None eliminated by: Tha Puerto Rican left in ring: Tha Puerto Rican, Landon Maddix, Zack Malibu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony slaps the floor in anger and frustration as PR gets up and looks out to him, talking smack and making the "title around the waist" motion. COACH It's PR's time! He's two guys away from his dream! COLE He'd better pay more attention to what's going on in the ring then. Indeed, Landon sees that PR is preoccupied and slinks over, waiting for PR to turn around before nailing him with a dropkick that knocks him off his feet towards the ropes.....but PR just bounces on the top rope and lands back in the ring. COACH WHEW! COLE It almost cost him. Puerto's distraction almost cost him everything. PR looks around, eyes wide and lets out a long breath, thankful that he is still in this thing. He gropes at the ropes and begins to pull himself to his feet. He hears a thump behind him and the crowd roar, but his bell is still a little rung. He stands upright and takes a few deep breaths, preparing himself to get back in the frey. He turns back........ .....and all he sees is Zack Malibu's foot filling his vision. [b]KICK WHAM SCHOOL'S OUT![/B] sends PR over the top and crashing to the floor. [b]"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!![/b] COLE HE'S GONE! Zack kicked him right out his dream! COACH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 28th Elimination: Tha Puerto Rican time in ring: 38:21 eliminated: It, Deon Black (co), Spanish Fly, Tony Brannigan eliminated by: Zack Malibu left in ring: Landon Maddix, Zack Malibu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COLE Two! We're down to two! COACH We might be down to one in a second, Cole! Maddix uses the opening he has after PR's elimination to rush up on Zack from behind and try to bundle him over and out, but Zack hangs on to the ropes as he goes over and lands on the apron. The crowd in Providence lets out a breath after that one. COLE One of these two men will go to Toronto to be in the main event of Anglemania VI. COACH It's the future of the business versus one of the greats of the past and present, Cole! Landon lays in the boots on Zack as he rolls under the bottom rope back into the ring, the stomps becoming more vicious as Landon's adrenaline begins to pump. Landon pulls Zack to his feet and backs him into the ropes, shooting him off and flying through the air, catching Zack with a flying forearm shot on the rebound. Maddix kips up and pounds his chest, motioning that he's going to toss Zack. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" COLE At this point, you have to wonder how much does Zack have left? I mean, we all saw what he went through earlier tonight. COACH I respect Zack coming out here and giving it everything he has, but he's running on the fumes of his fumes right now. Landon reaches over and pulls Zack to his feet, smirking to the crowd as he grabs the back of Zack's tights and rushes him towards the ropes, but Zack fights it again! "COME ON!" Landon yells as he pushes on Zack to try and get him over the top, but Zack is on his 42nd wind of the night and fights it. [b]"ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK!"[/b] COLE This crowd is trying to will Zack here. Hell, even I'M cheering for him right now. COME ON, ZACK! COACH Nice objectivity there, Cole. Zack swings back and pops Landon with an elbow, stunning him for a moment. Another elbow and Landon's grasp is loosened. Two more completely frees Zack....but Landon pokes him in the eye! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Landon tries a punch of his own....but Zack ducks under it and fires off a jab! A jab! "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" A jab! (CROWD: "HOOO!") COLE Look at this! A jab! "HOOO!" A jab! "HOOO!" Zack blows a kiss to the crowd, sticks his foot in Landon's gut, and cracks him with an enziguri kick! "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" COLE Mama Said Knock You OUT by Zack! Think that wasn't a message from an old friend? Both men lie prone on the mat, both tired, both beaten, both trying to suck in that last bit of oxygen they need to finish the job. Zack rolls onto his back..... AND KIPS UP~! [b]"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"[/b] COACH Where is he [i]getting[/i] this from? COLE We are seeing a performance for the ages here tonight in Zack's hometown. Zack walks to the center of the ring and stands with his feet slightly spread, anxiously tapping his left foot on the mat, motioning at Landon and muttering for him to get his ass up. The crowd rises again, knowing and anticipating what's to come. COLE He's set. It's the bottom of the ninth and Big Papi Zack Malibu is set to hit a walk-off homer out of the park. Landon faces the outside as he pulls himself to his feet, working his jaw and shaking his head to try and clear it. Zack shuffles closer as Landon gets to one knee and moves to strike the second he gets to his feet with another SCHOOL'S OUT~! But Landon ducks....... Pitches Zack over the top rope........ CROWD :o BUT ZACK HOLDS ON TO THE ROPES!!! "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The crowd once again exhales in relief as Zack hangs on to the middle and top ropes, his legs dangling mere feet off the floor. Landon, having launched into a premature celebration, turns when he doesn't hear the bell or his music and sees Zack hanging on for dear life. LANDON :angry: COLE Zack Malibu was INCHES away from being eliminated, but somehow managed to hang on and stop his fall! Landon walks over and leans out between the top and middle ropes to slug away on Zack's head and chest to try and loosen his grip and finally finish things off. COACH I don't know how Zack can fight back here! He lets go of the ropes and this is over! Zack absorbs Landon's blows while frantically trying to figure out a way out of this perdicament. [b]"LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!"[/B] Landon lands another shot to the face.......BUT ZACK BITES HIS HAND! COLE He bit him! Landon recoils in pain and shakes his hand, but that only serves to make Maddix angry as he ducks back under the ropes and wraps the hand around Zack's throat......BUT ZACK LEANS OVER AND BITES LANDON'S FOREHEAD!!! "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Zack leans his head back and headbutts Landon hard, stunning him, and another headbutt is enough to knock him back through the ropes and to the mat. COACH It wasn't pretty, but that's the only way Zack could have fought back. COLE Now he has to get back into the ring. Zack tries to swing his legs over onto the apron, but he cannot get any leverage. He looks over his shoulder and sees Landon begin to stir again, so he does the only thing he can do: he lets his left hand (holding the top rope) slip down to the middle rope which allows him to reach and plant his right foot on the floor. COACH That's one foot! If the other touches, he's gone! COLE Zack's flirting with disaster here! If Landon recovers, all he has to do is push Zack's left leg to the floor and he's going to AngleMania! Landon staggers towards the ropes.....but Zack swings his left leg onto the apron and quickly brings his right leg up next to it just as Landon flings himself towards them. "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" COLE He's back up. COACH But he's not safe. Landon reaches over the top and pulls Zack up to his feet on the apron, throwing his arm over his head and hooking the tights. COLE Landon's going to suplex Zack to the floor! Landon pulls....but Zack blocks! [b]"ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK! ZACK!"[/b] Landon tries again.....but Zack blocks again, hooks Landon's tights, picks him up.....AND CROTCHES HIM ON THE TOP ROPE! "OOOOOOOHHHH!" COACH That's a hurt that's not going away soon. COLE Landon is incapacitated! Zack's got a shot! Zack steps back into the ring and, with one last burst, runs wobbily towards the ropes and flings himself into them to get a head of steam. He charges towards Landon Maddix, leaps, and simply throws his body into him, knocking Landon over....... [B]AND OUT!!!!!![/B] [B][I][size="5"]YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~![/B][/I][/size] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Final Elimination: Landon Maddix Time in ring: 19:34 Eliminated: Johnny Jax Eliminated by: Zack Malibu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]TEH WINN0R~!:[/b] Zack Malibu Time in ring: 13:34 Eliminated: Colombian Heat, Deon Black (co), Tha Puerto Rican, Landon Maddix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COLE YES!!! HE DID IT!!!! ZACK MALIBU IS GOING TO ANGLEMANIA [i]AGAIN[/i]!!! COACH I can't believe it. I can't believe what I just saw in there. [i]Getting Away With Murder[/i] plays over the PA, but you can barely notice that or Howard Finkel's announcement over the deafening cheers as Charles Robinson enters the ring to check on a clearly spent Zack Malibu, who lays facefirst on the mat. Tears are visible in his eyes as he looks up at Robinson and nods. Robinson and another official help Zack to his feet and raise his arm in victory. COLE Zack Malibu has gone through hell over the past year and went through hell in that ring tonight, but right now, Zack Malibu has guaranteed himself another shot at the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship in Toronto. COACH Cole! I just realized what that means! If everything stays as it is... COLE That's right, that's going to be our AngleMania main event. COACH Oh...man. Candi, also in tears (but this time tears of joy) rushes to the ring to join her man. The couple embraces and shares a kiss in the middle of the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Candie asks if Zack is ok and Zack nods with a smile before they embrace again. There is not a fan sitting (or a dry eye) in the house as Zack and Candie acknowledge the crowd. COLE Well ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for joining us tonight for Anglepalooza. For Jonathan Coachman, I'm Michael Cole saying goodnight and we will see you at AngleMania VI! The camera closes in on Zack and Candie kissing again as one of the worst nights of Zack Malibu's life has turned into one of the greatest. Because he's going to AngleMania. [b]Fade to black[/b]

I am juuuuuuuust about done with the Rumble finish. Give me about 15 minutes and we should be good to go.
