I think pretty much every team would, considering they'll be a 15 seed at best and lost three starters from last year's team. Let's not get carried away.

The CAA is facing their worst-case scenario, as none of the three teams pegged as at-large hopefuls (Drexel, Hofstra and Old Dominion) even made it to the tournament final. They might only get one bid now, when they were looking at two and possibly even three.

Christ, this thing has really bogged down. I thought for sure I'd make a pick sometime this weekend.

After the first offer, he said, "I've got two words for ya...no deal!" while making the DX crossed-arms sign. Yeah, he was a bit of a spaz. Walking out with $106K must be nice, though.

There's a real shocker.

Here is how I would see a top 50 list. Upon inspection, it's pretty close to slabinskia's list...I'm sure if I really went over the recaps with a fine-toothed comb, I would probably end up changing quite a few of these: 50. Jim Cornette shoots on the Clique and Eric Bischoff 49. Austin comes to ring in Zamboni, attacks Vince; later defeats Kane to regain WWF title 48. HBK "loses his smile," forfeits WWF title 47. Marty Jannetty beats HBK for IC title 46. HBK saves HHH from a Spirit Squad beatdown, HHH and HBK reform DX 45. HHH gives Orton thumbs down, kicks him out of Evolution and delivers brutal beating 44. Taka Michinoku almost beats HHH for WWF title 43. Rock comes back to Raw, cuts heel turn promo in Toronto; Booker T eliminates Rock in battle royal to earn WrestleMania title shot 42. Vader attacks president Gorilla Monsoon in second night in WWF, suspended indefinitely 41. Batista gives HHH thumbs down, accepts shot at HHH's title for WrestleMania 40. Mr. Perfect defeats Flair in Loser Leaves Town match 39. Angle and Austin compete for Vince's attention, wear funny hats (but no badges) 38. Austin gives Corporation a beer bath 37. Foley beats Terry Funk in hardcore match to earn title shot against Austin 36. HBK cuts heel promo on Hogan (and Bret) in Montreal 35. HBK gives Sid the night off, Sid gives HBK three powerbombs 34. HBK beats Shelton Benjamin in Gold Rush tournament 33. Flair nearly beats HHH for WWE title in Greensboro 32. Mankind debuts Mr. Socko in hospital visit to Vince; Austin poses as doctor, attacks Vince in hospital 31. Razor Ramon loses to "unknown" rookie 1-2-3 Kid 30. Dude Love debuts, helps Austin beat Owen & Bulldog for tag team titles 29. DX parodies The Nation 28. Kurt Angle does moonsault off the top of the cage in match against Chris Benoit 27. Vince strips Austin of IC title and awards it to the Rock (who thinks Vince should fire him); Austin steals the belt and throws it into a river the following week 26. ECW alumni turn on WWF, Paul Heyman and ECW join the InVasion 25. HBK announced as guest referee for Bret/Undertaker title match at Summerslam (with stipulations); Bret attacks Vince following announcement 24. ECW invited to Raw while regular roster is in Middle East 23. Radicalz show up on Raw 22. Austin smashes Bret with a chair in match with Sid, costs Bret WWF title 21. Rock challenges Hogan to match at WrestleMania X-8, gets beaten down by nWo 20. Flair announces he is co-owner of WWF 19. X-Pac returns; HHH recruits New Age Outlaws to new DX 18. HBK collapses during match with Owen 17. Bulldog beats Owen in European title tournament final 16. Jericho beats HHH for WWF title...for ten minutes 15. Bret interrupts match between Owen and Bulldog, reforms Hart Foundation 14. Austin & HBK win tag titles from Owen & Bulldog 13. DX invades WCW show at Norfolk Scope 12. Austin challenges Vince to a WWF title match, Dude Love interrupts and attacks Austin 11. Austin invades Pillman's house; Pillman pulls a gun 10. Eric Bischoff announced as new Raw GM 9. Bret turns heel...in the U.S. only 8. Nitro simulcast; Shane shows up on Nitro to announce his purchase of WCW 7. Bret snaps following cage match loss to Sid 6. Jericho revealed as WWF's "Millennium" 5. Stone Cold stuns Vince for the first time 4. Benoit & Jericho win tag titles from Austin & HHH 3. Mankind beats Rock for WWF title 2. Austin destroys Bret's knee in street fight, attacks him in ambulance; Pillman returns to ambush Austin 1. Austin confronts Mike Tyson

Oh, and how does Bret reforming the Hart Foundation not get a spot on this list at all? That was a classic moment all by itself.

Well, I got one out of two. I totally blanked on Tyson; that definitely belongs in the top 5. Austin costing Bret the title the day after Final Four belongs on this list somehow, though.

...there would be no major pro wrestling companies alive today, because WCW STILL would have gone out of business six years ago. Just a hunch.

You guys have Gary Matthews? My condolences. He was in the Toronto radio booth for a couple of years, and I just didn't like listening to him.

This week is a reminder of what a devilish course PGA National is. The Bear Trap is just eating players alive. Too bad more top players aren't playing it. For the Canadians who read this thread, Mike Weir finished 5th at the Euro Tour's Johnnie Walker Classic in Thailand.

It's interesting that Anderson's most similar player according to baseball-reference.com is Steve Garvey. It puts Garvey's Hall candidacy in perspective, because I'd never consider Anderson as even being close to a Hall of Famer. But that's probably a discussion for another thread.

Ortonsault must have been the lucky first recipient of the bug that causes the weapon not to start on one of the rounds until you touch a clock. That's how I scored 9 million + the first time the game was here.

Mostly for the better finish: Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart, 3/23/97, WrestleMania 13, "I Quit" match

I'm trying to think of what the top two could be, and I'm drawing a bit of a blank. The only two I can think of were both Bret vs. Sid matches -- the one the night after Final Four where they had to restart the match twice and Austin ended up costing Bret the title in the end, and the cage match the week before WrestleMania where Austin tried to help Bret win the title to make their WM match a title match, only to be foiled by Undertaker (with Bret's classic tirade after the match). I still think the Halifax RAW from 1997, with HBK's killer promo after being announced as the Summerslam guest referee, Bret and Vince's hockey fight, and the flag match should have been on here somewhere. That's still one of the top 10 episodes of RAW I've ever seen.

I hit Double Your $$ twice in a row in one game. Too bad I was sitting on $0 at the time. I have the version for Windows that was made a few years ago...much cooler.

Broncos trade a sixth-rounder to Miami for Dan Wilkinson. I can take or leave that deal. Wilkinson has to be getting to the end of the line.

That's too funny for words. I can't believe any of the agents are willing to tell Vince anything but what he wants to hear at this point. Maybe this is a good sign.

The formation of the Megapowers, from Superstars of Wrestling, sometime in mid-1988. You also get a rare Craig DeGeorge sighting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5lb-65Yb7U

Winthrop is the second team in the tournament (after Penn, who won the Ivy League). They eked out a 3-point win over VMI.

I have no idea how to play Shoot The Sky.

My Macho Man kick continues... Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage from WrestleMania VIII: Prematch promos Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Postmatch interviews Randy Savage & Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair & Razor Ramon, from Survivor Series 92: History package + prematch promos Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Randy Savage (WWF champion) & Bret Hart (IC champion) vs. Ric Flair & Shawn Michaels, from Grudges, Gripes and Grunts (with Jim Ross on commentary, in one of his first assignments): Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Bell has been injury-prone and is soft. Foster is OK, but the Broncos had no use for him. From Denver's perspective, this is an even trade at worst.

Changed my team name to Kings of VORP.

Teams get points based on their standing in each category. If this is a 20-team league, whoever is leading in a category gets 20 points, 2nd place gets 19, and so on down to the last-place team, who gets one point. Your total score is just the sum of your scores in the 10 categories. Standings are cumulative for the entire season.
