It's all about television really. They try to put every single playoff game in some sort of prime spot, and then the ones that they can't fit into a prime network spot, they run on NBATV. The logic in all of it? I honestly have no fucking clue.

You can't be talking about weed, can you? It's not possible to die from overdosing on weed. The only other comment in the last 3 weeks was me with my DXM, and I had no tolerance because I never tried it before.

I just figured I'd bring this up because I tried DXM tonight, and I didn't like it at all. It just made me feel incredibly sick and tired. Well, eventually I puked and after that it was somewhat better, and I started to feel somewhat of a buzz but it just doesn't seem like it's worth it. It doesn't really do anything fun that drinking or pot wouldn't, but it kicks your ass and makes you all antisocial. Maybe I should have done less or something. I had 2 beers before I started, and then another one while I was drinking it, and I finished a bottle of it in about 15 minutes.

It's hard to get hyped for an April series against the Devil Rays though. I'm sure that those numbers will switch around later in the year when the novelty has worn off for the Nationals, and the Orioles are battling the Yankees and Red Sox for the pennant.

The Mavs are looking pretty damn good right now. I think my prediction of them taking the series in seven is gong to hold up.

Sorry, I wasn't more clear there. With the HHH/Batista match, I meant that it was a slam dunk that Batista would win by kicking out of the Pedigree and that it was too predictable. I was saying that since we all know who's going to win, they should have given us a stipulation so we could look forward to seeing some cool bumps. A "sleeper" means a good match that people aren't looking for all that much out of so that's not contradictory at all. And as for the bottom statements, those were made by someone else completely, so I can't account for that, but I'm pretty they're saying that while it's a joke to promote the PPV around Hogan, the match should be a somewhat interesting diversion.

Yeah, as long as nobody's winning anyway, I might as well as try to join now. Tammy Sytch (suicide) Joanie Laurer (overdose) Scott Steiner (something roid related) Fabulous Moolah (falls down the stairs) Verne Gagne (heart attack)

I've got one. People think the HHH/Nash HIAC was a terrible match, because everyone assumed it would be based on the fact that Nash wasn't over and could barely walk. However, they actually managed to work a real fun little match. Not five stars or anything, but definitely worth watching.

Actually, if we're talking about the prospect of ordering Backlash in general, I think the card does look fairly weak. HHH/Batista's a slam dunk; if they gave it a decent stipulation, it might at least be kinda fun to watch, but they chose to build it up by telling us the finish instead. Then, you've got the xenophobes squashing the Arabs, and the only other major match, Edge/Benoit, has had terrible build. Honestly, Viscera vs. Kane is probably the most compelling undercard match. As far as match quality goes though, I think that Edge/Benoit might be a sleeper. Edge can work a really good match every now and then, and working a Last Man Standing match on PPV with Benoit should pull his best out. I'm guessing that will be a **** to ****1/2 match.

You're saying he would have been an obvious choice in the regular wrestling death pool? Shit, no one even picked him in the wrestling death pool.

Well, I'm solidly libertarian, all right, not that I didn't know that already. Kinda hard to believe that they couldn't find one world leader to be in that quadrant. Economic Left/Right: 3.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

I was actually thinking of the Maier game as one of my worst moments too. I really did hate that fucking kid. I remember Bob Costas was trying to justify it and saying that we didn't know how the game would have went if he'd never caught the ball, like the Yankees would have magically scored more runs if they knew they needed to. Bullshit. That kid stole the game, pure and simple. Then, the next year, the Orioles gave another worst moment nominee when they were playing the Indians in the ALCS. Armando Benitez had been giving up homers left and right for weeks, and then they put him in to face Albert Belle, in the bottom of the 12th in a 0-0 game. I remember praying that he'd just hit him or walk him or something, but of course he just gave him a fat fastball to rip over the fence for the game winning HR.

Sounds positive to me. I'm trying to be realistic, but at this point, I really think the Orioles could take their playoff spot. All the O's need to do is pick up someone like Andy Pettite at the trading deadline and I think they'd have the better squad.

Nice to see the Mavs start playing up to their potential a little bit and take Game 3. Game 4's still going to be crucial, but it looks like taking down the series might be a little more realistic now. While Dirk played better last night, he still hasn't really exploded yet, and you just know that one of these nights, he's going to go for 40 or 50. Hopefully, he'll break off the big one in Game 4 to tie up the series so all the Mavs have to do is hold home court the rest of the way.

I think they already did. The WWE just hasn't acknowledged it yet.

He's got charisma too; he could be a pretty decent wrestler if he wanted to do it full-time. Of course, he's still not exactly the kind of guy you want to give a 50/50 program against your big monster heel when said heel has actually been drawing ratings.

Fuck Reggie Miller. Bill Simmons is right.

What's the chick in "This thread is ghey"'s avatar saying. I always wonder that whenever I see her. Well, when I'm not staring at her boobs anyway.

I think right now they're in OVW. The fuck? What are they doing there?

Maybe it's just blind fandom, but I've been thinking, and I really believe that the Mavs are going to come back from that 2-0 deficit. They've got the experience, they've got the talent, and they're not going down to some shitty two man team from Houston. I just wanted to make a public announcement here so that I can throw out an I told you so in a couple weeks when they finish off the Rockets. They're getting the job done, I can feel it.

God, I can just tell that if I ever met Damaramu in real life, I would fucking hate him.

I actually think that Rodgers was a very good pick, and not because of that "value over need" garbage either. The fact is that Brett Favre is washed up. He's already slipped to the point where he's no more than an average quarterback. He's got one more year left, or two at the absolute most, and the Packers are smart to pick up a QB at a time when they won't have to throw him directly into the fire.

There's no way in hell that Larry Bird was better than Wilt Chamberlain. Bird never averaged 30 ppg for a season, Wilt averaged over 30 for his career. Bird never got 11 rpg in a season, Wilt averaged over 22 rpg over his career. And it's not just that he took more shots either. Wilt led the league in FG% nine years, shooting 68% one year while still in his prime, and 72% when he was in a more defensive role. Bird was one of the best players in his era, but Wilt dominated the game like no one ever has before, and probably no one ever will again. Saying Bird was better than Wilt is like saying that Mickey Mantle was a better ball player than Babe Ruth.

Just watching this Braves/Mets game today, it seems obvious that Piazza needs to be moved down in the order, if not out of the lineup altogether. He just looks lost up there, and isn't even close to getting good contact. It seems silly to have him hitting right afte Beltran, because he's just a rally killer whenever their good bats get something going. And yes, Glavine looks bad. He doesn't have anywhere near enough velocity on his fastball to get away with being a two-pitch pitcher. I couldn't help laughing today, because first the announcers go through a big speech about how Glavine's been making good pitches, and he's just been getting hit anyway. Then one guy hits a homer, and they talk about how he hadn't hit one since early last September, and the next guy comes up and hits the first HR of his career. Glavine was just tossing beach balls up there, and everyone was knocking the shit out of them.

Should we just pin this? I swear someone asks how to change it every week. (Sure I'm condescending now, but I didn't figure out how to change it myself until my avatar title became Jeff Hardy. Of course, that was more due to not caring than being a fuck-tard who can't figure out how to get through an options menu.)
