Dobbs 3K

I don't know. The sound is basically fine for me, but the video quality is really sub-par.

Good match so far. I like it. Fucking Charter doesn't offer the HD feed for this, so I was stuck ordering the standard def one, and the picture quality is pretty crappy. Below the quality of standard def RAW on USA.

Um, yes. We already figured that out.

OK, I normally hate these things, but this is warranted:

I'm not defending Benoit, but why do some people insist on completely discounting the state of Benoit's physical brain at the time of the murders? I'm not saying it is any sort of excuse at all, but the mindset of some people here seems to be "It doesn't matter that his brain was in the state of an 85 year old's with dementia...HE MURDERED A SEVEN YEAR OLD BOY!!!"...as if typing that fact over and over again, all in caps, wins the argument. The Bundy comparison doesn't hold water either...Bundy was a psychopath, yes, but he methodically killed his victims. Benoit could very well have been out of his mind when he killed his family, then himself. Insanity is a real thing, it's not just a buzz word. Geez, it's not like we haven't discussed this to death already anyway.

Here's a fun story. Our National Guard attacked again. Expect the mainstream media to ignore this completely. Yep, no war going on here! http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news/artic...ory0104-CR.html Guardsmen overrun at the Border 12 News Jan. 4, 2007 02:44 PM A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico. According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat. advertisement The Border Patrol will not say whether shots were fired. However, no Guardsmen were injured in the incident. The Border Patrol says the incident occurred somewhere along the 120 mile section of the border between Nogales and Lukeville. The area is known as a drug corridor. Last year, 124-thousand pounds of illegal drugs were confiscated in this area. The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico.

Seems like a pretty standard legal issue, snuffbox. It doesn't have to do with the race of the individual involved, as much as you'd like to make it so.

I guess I could see the day where WWE at least acknowledges Benoit on TV again.

I remember seeing the angle with Kevin Sullivan from Georgia, which was so good, Johnny B Badd and DDP basically ripped it off years later (the one where the tires got slashed).

What do you expect out of this Sunday's match and what will be Flair's role in the future? Hopefully a very solid match with a good story, in which Flair comes up "just short" of beating Michaels. I may get choked up at the end. I don't know what Flair plans for the future. I just hope he isn't reduced to a Mick Foley-like figure that comes back every so often to get a cheap pop out of the crowd, and plays the "authority figure" every once in a while. I'd love to see him be a manager or something. Has this WWE run hurt his overall legacy or improved it? I think it's improved it, as far as making the current fans remember him. Can he really stay retired or this just another Terry Funk retirement? I get the feeling he's done for good. I don't think he'd be doing this if he wasn't adamantly sure he was done in the ring. What's your favorite Flair match? I think the cage match against Harley Race. Is he overrated/underrated relative to his 80s and 90s peers? He's basically the greatest pro-wrestler of all time. No one can really claim the longevity on top like Flair. Do the 21 (16?) world title wins mean anything to you? Somewhat. It doesn't mean as much as it once did, but it's something Flair will always have that no one can take away. Even if someone like Triple H eventually has more, Flair's will probably mean more. Did he hang on too long? No. He could still go and put on an entertaining match. I have a hard time telling anyone they're too old to do what they love, especially if they're still entertaining people.

I remember reading that he actually got black balled from most of the territories, for whatever reasons.

Wasn't he benefactor supposed to be Ted Dibiase, but then he ended up staying in the WWF for a while longer? I always heard that rumor.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

What else were you expecting? I don't know...I believe global warming is real, but to what extent? I have no idea. One group of scientists vehmently proclaim that it is happening very quickly and is man made, while the other side accuses the other of using "junk science" and says that it is happening slowly, and is more due to natural phenomena. I'm not a scientist, and not going to pretend to be one. Besides, it doesn't matter what I think or do, because our government (and others) has to decide to actually do something about it for anything to change. It doesn't matter what I think about global warming, ultimately, either way.

Isn't he injured right now?

Hopefully he doesn't fill it with a bunch of 9/11 conspiracy theory bullshit.

Yeah, I like how it looks like they're cheering Godzilla's attack plan.

his malaria initiative in africa, by all accounts i've seen, has gone quite well--pretty much a textbook case of how foreign aid is supposed to go. it's simple, it has clearly-defined goals, and there's no short-term gain whatsoever to be had from it. it's really too bad that he hasn't gotten more credit for this. Yep, Bush actually has done some good in Africa. I was thinking of that the other day when the topic of his administration and legacy came up. Personally, I don't care for our government spending so much of our money in other countries when we are hemorrhaging a national debt here, but that's how foreign aid goes, I guess. I could see Bush becoming some sort of Jimmy Carter-like figure after he leaves office, as an advocate for Africa. I doubt it will happen, but it would be one way he could polish up his legacy, even slightly.

OLEDs are years away from being large enough to be appealing, and affordable as well. Now that large sized LCDs and Plasmas are in the sub $2000.00 range, no one is going to pay huge amounts of money for a slightly thinner screen that looks a little better than their TV that is already leaps and bounds better than their last one.

I remember when they did that with Nacho Libre, and people on here were adamantly sure that Jack Black was going to do a match in WWE.

What? Really? Gee, I don't think anyone here realized that...

Muta's whole run during that time in WCW was just really weird and bizarre.

There's the crux of it right there. I mean, when in history has this kind of intervensionism ever really worked? This president used to always love talking about "the lessons of September 11th" ad nauseum. How about the lessons of Vietnam, which was another civil war that backfired for the US? Oh wait, he wasn't there.

Why would you feel bad for her (unless you're being sarcastic...I can't be bothered to tell anymore)? She blatantly lied about it. Just to be clear...NONE OF THE STUFF SHE SAID ABOUT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED!
