I really have no clue on predictions for this year as maybe I'm just not paying attention but hasn't this been just about the most uneventful offseason ever? Seriously nothing has happened or again maybe I just haven't been paying much attention.

Dean's brilliance truly brings a tear to my eye.

In a pedicure contest? Quoting Dean Rassmussen from this week's workrate report: Who Can Take The Most Showers With Bradshaw And Retain Their Anal Integrity The Longest contest.

See this is the biggest problem with the split is the delution of the tag division as they really should have made the titles floaters. I remember when the two teams were still together how much I would have loved to see a feud between Los Guerreros and BookDust. Way things look now both tag titles will be on two, old stale teams in the Dudleyz and....GOD DAMNIT ALL TO FUCKING HELL....APA.

Angle and Lesnar are feuding? Could have fooled me but yes the skits were bad and overly homoerotic.

Breaking up Eddie and Tajiri was the worst thing ever because it can only lead to one result with the tag titles back on a heel team...APA are winning the titles by SummerSlam. It is set in stone. Oh and if Benoit is paired up with Shaniqua...just fuckin' retire already because his career will essentially be over when that happens.

Good GOD that looks bad. Giant versus Tenta, World Title? This was the Nitro right before Bash at the Beach when Hogan joined the nWo and Nitro had just recently started beating Raw in the ratings so they probably figured they could put on a shitty show because everyone would just be tuning in to find out if they gave any information on the mystery partner and they were right.

Boykins is a free agent as well and someone is bound to over pay for him. He's a nice sparkplug off the bench but definently not a starting point guard.

I should add that the starters and reserves will be announced this Sunday which is different and seems a bit early as well but whatever. I guess I'll make my All-Star picks Saturday.

We'd be saying...who's joining the nWo this week?

I hope Arenas some how stays with the Warriors as it would just suck for all the progress they made this past year to amount to nothing and there is no way they'll get the hometown guys like Kidd or Payton.

I think its so ridiculous that you can't just say and show anything past midnight on television, especially cable. If a kid is up that late watching t.v. then they've probably already heard every curse word there is. On the subject my guess is they will edit the scene where Sadaam whips out the dildo and blur it out.

Wow good knowledge...here's a recap of the match by Michael T. Tyler on the RSPW message boards: 2. Disco Inferno pinned Kurusawa. THE MATCH: The usual DI antincs. Disco does his Chau Man Chung imitations of Kurusawa. Disco even kicks the steps to the ring and hurts his foot. The ending... An imitation Elvis comes down the aisle to ringside with Disco's music plays. While the referee and Kurusawa are distracted, (GET THIS!!!) The Disco ball lowered and Disco nails Kurusawa in the back and scores the pin.

What the hell? Do the right thing? Since when did doing the right thing consist of not playing the all star game because some snobby fan doesn't think you've played well enough this year. 800,000 fans want him to play, and they're the ones MLB are trying to please. Most of those votes came before the corked bat incident and his lead had shrunk over the 4th place N.L. outfield from about 280,000 votes to about 80,000 votes until this past week as imagine with the Japanese votes being counted Sosa got a nice bump this week. Sosa doesn't deserve to be on the team and I doubt the fans really want him there anymore. Plus Sosa being there will just be a distraction to the actual game and considering the game is at Comisky (add in that White Sox fans HATE Sosa) they might want to avoid any incidents with fans during the game.

Somebody already mentioned but yes the 55-10 win by the 49ers over the Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV will always stick out in my mind. Anyone who thinks John Elway is the greatest quarterback ever needs to watch that game and see if they can still say that with a straight face after watching it. I do remember a few years back Stanford giving UCLA the beating of a lifetime in basketball. I believe the final score was something like 108-53 and was easily UCLA's biggest loss ever in basketball.

N.L. voting update....catcher, 2nd base, shortstop, and the 3rd outfield spot are all up for grabs still. Unfortunently Sammy Sosa appears secure to be voted in but hopefully he'll do the right thing and sit out the game because there are too many good outfielders in the N.L. that will be snubbed.

Lets hope the trend continues then Hmm you know its interesting that last week HHH was 0-4 during that week before picking up the win against Kane and this week he happens to also pick up win in a week he was 0-3 previously. Probably just a coincidence.

When Johnson starts a thread on how much Raw sucked you know its bad. That was just about the biggest throw away show I've seen in recent memory. I know the Raw side has to kill some time before SummerSlam but damn could they advance one fuckin' angle? Raw can horrible as we know but shit at least have SOMETHING of meaning happen the whole night. The only thing of significance that happened was the debut of Gail Kim and the crowd didn't give a shit.

The final A.L. voting update before the starters are announced next week and apparantly the finally got around to counting the Japanes votes and Hidek Matsui jumped from 7th to 2nd. Now Matsui has been hot of late and he is more deserving that Torii Hunter at this point but this dramatic of a change in voting due to the voting of one country where MLB doesn't have a team and as much as publicity as they get, Japanese players make up an incredibly small perecentage of MLB players is a joke. Who gives a shit if they pop a big t.v. rating in Japan when MLB continues to alienate baseball fans in America and Canada. American and Canadian fans do care about Inchiro Suzuki as evidence by the amount of votes he's had before this bump in votes but they don't give a shit about Hideki Matsui and he does not deserve to be on the All-Star team period, end of story.

Well that's another travesty to come soon as Lambeau Field will no longer be Lambeau Field. Thing is though as a 49er fan when they changed Candlestick to 3Com NO ONE in the Bay Area, the media or the fans, called it 3Com. Only ones that ever referred to it as 3Com were the Fox announcers.
