Things I didn't expect to see while checking the Lakers-Raptors boxscore: - 5 guys in double figures for LA. - Odom was the Lakers' leading scorer with 19. - Kobe only scored 11. - Kobe had 9 assists. - Kobe only took 12 shots. Granted, it was the Raptors, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Also, I've found my new favourite player -- Smush Parker. Seriously, how can you not love a guy named Smush?

Well the pansies thing was all over gameday this past weekend and they said the "we are the only ones that can beat us" after Oregon and ASU. You do know that the "pansies" comment was made toward most hated rival UCLA, right?

Countdown to thread lockage...T-minus 2 hours and counting...

92 was my favourite show. There were a couple of stinkers (notably UT/Kamala and Crush/Repo Man), but the double main was fantastic, of course, and the "no hitting in the face" match between HBK and Rick Martel was fun and quite good.

Plus he's just an all-around scumbag.

I think she was joking.

In order of who I would vote for...Alexander, Palmer, Tomlinson, Barber, Brady (the Pats would probably be 3-9 if not for Brady). The Manning brothers are also in the conversation.

I'm still mad at Cito Gaston for trying to turn him into a pull hitter. .363 wasn't good enough???

It's a shame it's too late to put The Trial Of Eric Bischoff on the list.

On the plus side, I have Seattle -4, so I think I can rest easy now.

Third, actually.

That may be a first for Seattle. I don't think they've ever even made anyone's top 10 most hated.

Oh my God, you have got to be KIDDING ME. A THIRD defensive TD for Seattle 15 seconds into the second half, 42-0.

RAW's on a half-hour delay in Canada. TSN had curling until 9:30. Lucky Canadians. I'd take that trade. No kidding. Reading about the show was tons more entertaining than watching it live must have been.

They just showed the Cutting Edge segment up here. Michael Hayes gets my vote for Promo of the Year.

This is Reggie White night? That just makes it sadder.

35-0 Seattle at half.

I thought the Eagles were going to lose, but I didn't think they'd be getting slaughtered like this. Two INT->TDs and another INT returned to the 3 to set up another TD. 28-0 Seattle.

What is this obsession with making the top 25? Is there some kind of extra prestige in being the 25th best team in America as opposed to the 26th? Actual recognition as a Top 25 team? The fact that this is the first time in 5 years that we were out of the Top 25(actually first time in 5 years that we were out of the top 10). As if anyone will remember (or care) years from now. I couldn't tell you the top 25 teams from LAST year. Hell, I couldn't even tell you the top 10.

Snowing in Philly. Nice.

Hardly seems like there's much point to the screening committee. I'd almost put Guzman on the ballot before DiSarcina.

There IS no screening process. If you played ten seasons, you're on the ballot.

Correct. 1996 was the year he debuted on tour after winning his third straight US Amateur (and qualified for the Tour Championship despite only three months on tour, winning twice). Impressive in a different way.
