Matt Young

Wow, I know "The Man Scout". He came up in Springfield's New Midwest Wrestling as "Mr. Elite" Jake Manning before moving to NC to work for Highspots. Good guy to drink with.

Man, I like Metallica, but fuck "Battery" in the ass. I got to the end of a 6 song West Coast Setlist (guitar on hard) and failed at 71% twice, and I lost the progress for the 5 songs before. I'll have to switch difficulties for this song, I think.

Oddly enough, I thought of BL after reading that phrase in the NHL thread.

Happy 33rd birthday to the man, the myth, the legend- Black Lushus!

I didn't even know the season started today, but I happened to turn on the NHL Network about 1 minute into the 1st period. Awesome.

I figured the difference would be much larger than that between those two, since wrestlers used to give such little effort at house shows that they'd sometimes wrestle in their street clothes until the company started promoting a more official dress code. Did you just make that up? I've been going to house shows for over a decade and have never seen anything like that.

Team Mattitude: Santino Marella 4m Chavo Guerrero 4m Vladimir Kozlov 6m The Brian Kendrick 6m R-Truth 4.5m Michelle McCool 3.5m Chris Jericho 9m Matt Hardy 6m Beth Phoenix 7m

He was still known as Hollywood, though. He had the red and yellow weight belt.

This. I could never hate the Cubs, simply because the Young side of my family has been comprised of diehard Cubs fans since before I was born. The only reason I didn't become one is because, since my dad left when I was 6, I only saw them on holidays and I ended up forming my own tastes. But Czech, while I like him most of the time, is insufferable in the sports forum (and half the time in music, but I digress). He's like my friend Jeremy who plays Gears of War all the time and ends up screaming out 1,001 variations of "Bullshit!/Fuckin' bitch!" at the TV and throwing controllers. It's like, I can understand getting somewhat emotional, but in the end, it's just a game. You should be having fun most of the time. If you're constantly angry/frustrated, why spend so much time on it?

At least the Sox managed to get 2 runs after loading the bases with no outs. Although, given the circumstances, they should have gotten more. But failing to convert in bases loaded situations was a huge problem yesterday.

No Griffey today against the lefty, Kazmir.

- Former WCW announcer and wrestler Steve "Mongo" McMichael (who was actually a member of the Four Horsemen for awhile) has been added as a special ref for the Four Way Monster's Ball TNA Tag Team Titles match at Bound for Glory. [PWInsider.com] My God, why?

Do they all like a lot of other teams, too? I don't know. They are certainly all bigger Dodgers fans than am I. The Dodgers are #1 to them, not to me. That comment was more a jab at Czech than anything due to the unnecessarily vicious nature of the comments in his last post.

I watched the game at a bar full of Dodgers fans. Fun times. Hey, Czech won't even be gone a week.

And apparently, he's going to learn the word "fuck" today.

Crap... Now I've got to watch my friend's 10 year old kid during the game.

I hear Bon Jovi. Must mean it's game time.

Supposedly suspended for stealing painkillers out of another wrestler's bag. As for who is favored between Benoit/Guerrero, I'm not sure. I'll edit the post if I find out.

I received a sample ballot for the upcoming election in the mail the other day, and check out the competition for California State Senate. I apologize for the shadow, but my scanner's not working so I used a digital camera: I knew (and laughed) about Benoit due to seeing signs all over the city, but I didn't know about his opponent. Classic shit.

You know, I don't dislike the name Thunder. In fact, I like it. Magic, Heat, and the (now ill-fitting) Jazz, too. I don't see why the name has to be plural. I get that it's a team of 12 people, but fuck. That being said, those are some horrible uniforms.

You know what? I'm going to play a season with the Raiders as Lane Kiffin on Head Coach and see what happens.

Happy 30th, Bored! Even if you hate the White Sox, you're a decent guy in my book.

I'm not trying to make myself out to be a martyr. I can take it. But you're one of them, so what does it matter.

I agree, still fly. Also, aside from USC #55, the ones who are criticizing me are all guys who have expressed dislike for me in other areas of the forum. This is only partially about sports. It's largely about those individuals' feelings toward me, and the nature of this board as a whole. I don't agree with the hometown team rule. Okay, well that settles it. If you won't abide by the rules created by professional sportswriters, as in ESPN and other major media outlets, you shouldn't have the right to make your own when you have no qualifications. The whole thing about settings rules about what makes you a fan is ridiculous anyway. Unless it's to the extent of 2 teams being in the same division, then that's just silly. But liking two teams in separate leagues/conferences in the same sport is perfectly acceptable.
