That was the only one that came to mind for me. I've always wondered how things would have unfolded for the business in general, and for Vince and Verne Gagne in particular, if Verne had put the belt on Hogan in 1983. It was, quite simply, the worst business decision ever made by a wrestling promoter.

Too bad Ames holed that putt on 18. I think he'd have done better in the group in front of Tiger than he will paired with Tiger. I've got him down for a 75 tomorrow. If Tiger shoots 70 tomorrow, he wins.

Hell no, I'm starting to consider it myself.

It matters not here.

He could have easily shot 60 or 61 too. Honestly, it's just a joy to watch him play golf. This must have been what it was like to watch Nicklaus 30-40 years ago.

I just turned them off. I don't know why I never tried this before.

Funny stuff from Pat Perez's media session: And even funnier stuff from JD's interview:

It's been changed back. Probably a joke.

Westwood got in with 69. I couldn't believe how far Cabrera fell down the board -- last among the touring pros. He took a Dalyesque 10. What is it with Argentinians making bad decisions in majors, anyway?

I'm more intrigued by who's alone in first right now -- John Daly.

Someone lock this just for fun.

I question how they're going to get through the season intact with virtually no bench.

Temperatures in Tulsa for the PGA are supposed to be in the 100s all four days, with the humidex over 110. I would not want to be a caddy there this week.

They should've kept Gary Payton. That would be perfect. Hell, bring in Malone AND Stockton. And Ewing and Barkley, to make the Celtics the official I'll Do Anything For A Ring team.

Luke Richardson signed a one-year deal with Ottawa for $500K. This is a guy who I couldn't believe was still playing the FIRST season after the lockout.

I mostly notice avatars, but there are a few exceptions. Spiff and KingPK come to mind.

Highlight package to build up the HHH/Rock Iron Man match.

Yes this was the plan according to the Torch at the time. The masked man was suposed to be Henning. The first masked man is Arn Anderson, as Henning was not under contract, then when Henning did not sign they went with Beefcake to be reviled as the masked man. That's one of the greatest Freudian slips ever.

I hope you're not going into accounting or anything like that if you think 42 divided by 2 equals 10. Also, it's 36 Ks and an 18:1 ratio. A very curious point to divide the season to make that point, too -- he has 34 Ks and one walk in his last 34 innings.

I was planning something like this for other milestone trackers, like the 3,000 K one that Pedro Martinez is scheduled to make, probably as soon as the first inning he pitches in 2007. He is 2 away. You want me to clutter the weekly threads with these pics and such? You're making the assumption that we need them at all. That's a bit of a leap. If I want to track milestones, I'll go to baseball-reference.com.

A.J. Burnett looked awesome in his rehab stint here in Ottawa this afternoon. One run on 3 hits in 5 innings, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts.

Yeah, I saw that. What a baby. It's not like someone shouted during your backswing...grow up and take the needles like a man, for fuck's sake.

The only way I know of to find old posts (easily) is to go to members search, click on "view members posts", then click the button for the last page. But the forum crashed in June '03, and any posts before that show up as being from guests and aren't searchable. I just looked in the WWE folder from around the time my account was created. Select "Show All Posts" in the folder you're in, and go to the last page. In the WWE folder, you have to wade through about 6 pages of posts that were moved to other forums before you get to the really old posts.

Mole has some good ideas on gift-giving.

It's a WGC event. Short of moving it permanently to Australia or the Far East, there's nowhere they can move it where Tiger or anyone else won't show up. But I was mostly not serious, anyway.
