This is as far as I could get. He basically said you can have free speech if you agree with me. Nothing new from Bradshaw, blah blah blah.

Agreed. I blame the brand split as the main reason for the rut they are currently in. It certainly did nothing to create "new stars".

Really just wanted to respond to the bolded part; It's not the business that has become less popular. It's the product. If they were putting out good product it would be just as popular as any boom period. Anyone who watches SD! right now can attest to the poor product being aired on a weekly basis.

I still have this on vinyl

I missed the "Hank Aaron comment". What was it?

You need to watch the video again. This was a Tie Domi-level sucker shot. Probably even beyond that. When goons like Donald Brashear call it "excessive", you know it's bad. So I'm sorry, but that sure as hell wasn't "nothing". If the NHL had balls, Bertuzzi would be gone as long as Steve Moore is. But they don't and he won't, so we'll be seeing a similar incident in another 2 years or so... The problem that I have with the situation is that Bertuzzi is getting charged with the results of the hit, not the hit itself. Cheap shot? Yeah it was as dirty as they come. I really don't think that anyone can say to themselves (or others) that they really think that it was Bertuzzi's intent to cripple Moore.

I have this same arguement all the time at the bar. I get so tired of people calling Bonds an asshole because he doesn't want to talk to the media. Why would he? All the media does anymore is try to find the worst in everyone and air it over and over. So the guy doesn't want to be your friend when he's out with his family. He doesn't owe anyone anything. You buy your ticket to see him play. He plays. Contract satisfied. End of story.

One more thing to keep in mind, I don't dislike Mickelson, in fact the opposite. I was rooting for him to win, and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, but the bottom line is that he chokes in pressure situations. End of story.

I would say that double bogeying on the 17th while tied for the lead is choking. He missed a putt that was practically a gimmie. The only reason hackers consider five-footers gimmes is because they can't make them themselves when called upon. That putt might have been harder than the one he made to win the Masters. A. We aren't talking about hackers, we are talking about pros. If a 5 footer isn't a gimmie to a pro they don't belong out there. You can't be serious. Pros miss about half of all those "gimme" 5-footers they look at. Add to that the fact that he's putting downhill on glass, and a pro will probably miss that 2 out of 3 times. Did anyone else? Didn't think so. Goosen was more lucky than good himself. Sure, he was lucky.. yet somehow despite all this supposed "luck", Goosen and Mickelson were tied when Phil teed off on the 17th. Face it, Mickelson choked, just like he has in the past in similar situations, and just like he will in the future.

Mickelson has shown a large tendency to choke, this was just one more example.

Yeah, what does it say about Michigan State?

Mickelson is the Chris Webber of golf.

4/3/2000: NCAA National Championship Game, MSU is rolling, building an 11 point halftime lead over the Florida Gators. Early in the second half on a fast break Gator guard Teddy Dupay cheapshots Mateen Cleaves, turning the MSU guard's ankle and sending him to the lockerroom. The scene in the bar in East Lansing where I was watching with my brothers and friends was one of shock, horror, and complete silence... Then he came back out. I can't even think of words to explain the feeling, the sound, the pure excitement in the bar when Cleaves checked back into the game, ultimately leading MSU to their first championship in 21 years. (lets just forget about the rioting mmkay?)

Get rid of Webber if they ever want to win anything. He has never won anything and never will. He simply doesn't have what it takes to step it up in the big games.

But yeah no Sting, he's old and was never the greatest wrestler in the first place imo.

They are just doing this to cover thier asses and avoid another situation where a wrestler gets mega-over (SCSA) and then uses their "wrestling name" in the mainstream.

Which is better than the actual SD show 83.6% of the time.

Anything involving a whip to the ropes.

After doing a bit of research I have to agree that your efforts should be doubled... no wait, TRIPLED.. actually wait.. just doubled, yeah.

I'll bite.. what?

Sometimes I wish you were the head booker RRR (like this time).

Trying to hype future shows?
