Kurt Angle Mark

Concerning OYL I think it will play out like this That by the end of IC #5 the multi-verse created by Alexander will be restored to one again but not without causing a few changes. This will serve as the jumping on point for "One Year Later" The final two issues will deal with the final battle against Alexander Luthor more than the changes made to the DC characters thus what happens at the end won't be spoiled by the OYL books.

By Dave Meltzer To make a bad angle even worse, Vickie Guerrero and her daughters will be stationed at ringside during the Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton match at No Way Out on 2/19. To say there is a lot of heat on this decision is this week's major understatement

Anyone else reading the awesome "This is Your Life" story arc in the Superman books. The story takes place during Infinite Crisis #5 so I'll put Spoiler Tags

Doesn't look like it to me based on tonight's game. Hey, I'm a Rockets fan, I've gotta celebrate when I can so far this season. That is because the Clippers were playing without their poor man's Bruce Bowen, Quentin Ross. They are 4-4 when he doesn't play, in the games the Clippers lost they lost by 22, 17, 19, and 31 With Maggette out he has to be there to make up for Sam Cassell's defense or else we get destroyed by the other teams guards.

EDIT: My apologies the letter wasn't addressed to Meltzer - it was to Dan Wahlers, who wrote an editorial about the Eddie/Orton/Rey situation on the WO website By Dave Wahlers I got this e-mail from someone who is a writer’s assistant in WWE, in this case on Smackdown. He sent this in last week, and I’m posting it without giving the person’s name out of respect for his wishes. The reason why will become apparent when you read what is said. This speaks volumes about what’s really going on in WWE these days. This is only an excerpt of the entire letter: Dan, I am a writer’s assistant on Smackdown, and let me tell you that you are not wrong with what you said concerning the Orton line about Eddie Guerrero being in hell from last week’s show. That one line caused so much controversy, you can’t even begin to imagine. A bunch of us didn’t want the line to be used. At one point it was out of the script, then it got put back in. Ultimately, the final decision was made by Stephanie McMahon with Vince’s approval. Their feeling is this would put a lot of heat on Randy Orton’s character, and would explain the motivation for Rey Mysterio accepting the No Way Out challenge. I along with several of the other writers felt that we accomplished that without using that line, and the line at the end of the show about Eddie not coming back from the dead. But Vince makes the final decisions on show content, and he made the call. A lot of us were very uncomfortable about it, and knew what the reaction would be among the other wrestlers, as well as the fans. Vince always preaches, “Look at the big picture”, and that’s exactly what he would have said if any of us challenged him on this. I can tell you that more than a few of the boys were upset about this, and it’s only going to get worse. A lot of guys are simply fed up with the McMahon way, and Vince is going to get that message when it comes time for contract renewal time. Please continue doing what you’re doing, and speaking your mind. It’s much appreciated by a lot of people, I assure you of that. DW: There was a lot more in the e-mail, but I can’t publish it due to the controversial nature of the content. The writer requested that his name be kept out of this for obvious reasons. But this paints an ugly picture all the same. Vince’s own employees are starting to question his motives and his decision-making. I understand why nobody speaks up. They value their jobs, and know that clashing with Vince would be a sure ticket out the door. But maybe if one person had the balls to stand up to him, and call him on some of the bullshit he’s been doing, it would open the door for others. Sometimes it only takes one. Thanks to the writer for having the courage to send this e-mail in the first place.

Brand ties his career high with 44 points on 17/26 shooting in the Clippers 91-87 win against Memphis He is a freakin beast this year

Apparently the rosters are West: Brand Garnett Okur Allen Parker Marion Nowitzki East: Wallace Wallace Billups Hamilton Carter Bosh Pierce

Well this is interesting, Al Michaels was practically traded to NBC

Bill Simmons ranks the teams based on their chances of winning the NBA title Part 1 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/060208 Also the participants for the three point shootout have been announced Quentin Richardson Dirk Nowitzki Jason Terry Ray Allen Raja Bell Chauncy Billups

ACC suspends Duke/FSU game officials for double technical call

Yeah well it helps to finally have the owner try to put a competitive team out there In the last three years Sterling has 1. Hired Dunleavy for 4 years at 10 Million 2. Re-signed Brand for 86 Million 3. Re-signed Maggette for 42 Million 4. Signed Mobley for 42 Million 5. Traded for Sam Cassell 6. Offered MAX deals to Arenas, Bryant and Ray Allen To put everything in perspective, The biggest Clipper contract before all this was a 5 year 15 million dollar deal with ERIC PIATKOWSKI

Cassell does it again !!!!! Hits a three to force overtime and Clippers win 115-113, for their 8th win in 9 games.

By Dave Meltzer "A report in today's Palm Beach Post said a tanning booth attendent in Tanzabar tanning salon in Boca Raton lists Vince McMahon as having groped her. The story claims the police report on the incident would be made public this week. McMahon lives in Boca Raton at The Excelsior, and couldn't be reached for comments. His life, Linda, called the report "totally bizarre," and Stephanie confirmed her dad goes to that tanning salon, but was not aware of anything happening. The complete story is at www.palmbeachpost.com/celebrities/content/entertainment/celebrities/lambiet/0201jose.html. It is not in the main story this link takes you do, but in a sidebar story. "

Sam Cassell is God!!! Hit three clutch threes in the fourth to turn a one point game into a blowout. Clippers beat the Celtics 98-81 to go to ten games over .500 for the first time since the 1991-1992 season !!!

Disney's Beauty and the Beast

From Meltzer "There were a lot of unhappy people backstage during the Randy Orton interview for Smackdown taped last night (check spoilers). Let's just say the respect in some circles with management hit an all-time low."

If that is the case then HHH is an even worse heel than them. There hasn't been another wrestler who has continuously taken cheat shots, belittled his opponents or/and gone out of his way to expose their weaknesses like HHH has. Just look back at his fueds with RVD, Jericho and Booker T.

Damn, this must suck Cuttino Mobley had $500,000 dollars worth of stuff stolen form his home in Bel-Air on Saturday.

Five Straight Wins fo the Clippers!!! They destroy the Nuggets again 112-79 Now a six game Eastern Conference road trip awaits

Yeah they are showing the ones you mention first, it's that the info on the last 5 hadn't been available until yesterday.

Great Win for the Clippers tonight!!! ending Denver's 7 game streak with a 105-87 victory That makes it 7 out of 9. Looks like they have finally adjusted to playing without Maggette
