Wait....they gave Liger v. Joe 7:30??? How stupid is this company?

I laughed. Good work.

Wow, I'm blown away with your accolades. Don't you have one of your smashing mixers to go to! Rolling around in jello LOL! It's pretty funny seeing someone get so pissy over a simple joke.

I did not laugh out loud.

No, I do have friends. I'm not upset, I just don't like that another athlete is hosting, since that usually means sucky episode. NEWS FLASH, dipshit. It was a joke. You can think it was funny, but whatever. Nah, not really. The irony of a complete moron like UTSH going off on me and acting all serious over a joke I made is pretty funny though. Give that man a prize! Give that man another prize!

SNL Review- Catherine Zeta Jones/Franz Ferdinand Sports Report- Leafs- Their 4 game winning streak was bound to end sometime, and the Flyers always beat us, so I can’t say I was surprised. While they’ve surprised people and Lindros has been good, they need to work at protecting leads. IT’S THE NEW NHL!~ Canucks- The Canucks have been fabulous this year, I really have no complaints. Tonight’s game gave me a mini-heart attack but they toughed it out. The Big 3 have delivered, and Cloots isn’t so bad. Saints- Yea, I’m starting to give up on the season. They got screwed over against the Falcons and Deuce is gone. If they move to San Antonio or Los Angeles I’ll just support the new team that comes to New Orleans. Mailbag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Chad Ruffner writes- I thought Raw this past Monday Night was a largely entertaining program, probably one of their better efforts of The Year aside from "Homecoming". The Show flowed well and was never boring throughout, with The Highlight for me being The Steve Austin/Stephanie McMahon/Coachman segment. Say what you will about Austin, but he can still work a crowd and tonight was no exception. There may not have been a lot of actual matches Monday, but I didn't really mind as several story-lines/programs were advanced for "Taboo Tuesday".(Which may still tank like last year's did, but at least they are trying.) I didn't like how they are talking about giving J.R. his job back so soon after he was "fired", however. I just think that It devalues the believability of the situation, especially considering that J.R. has been "fired" 37 times In the last 3 years. Oh well. Wouldn't be a Raw without at least one bitch from me. What Did You Think? Chad I missed the first little bit of RAW and was only half paying attention, b/c I saw Shopgirl. The main event was horrible but Flair’s promo was really good. Coach imitating JR was funny, but got old fast. Wanna be in the mailbag???? Email me at [email protected] And now the review…. Cold Opening Cast- Darrell Hammond, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, Finesse Mitchell, Rachel Dratch, Kenan Thompson, Jason Sudeikis, Thoughts- Once again, I’m glad that Forte gets a chance to try his hand at W. Darrell as Brit Hume was pretty random, and I don’t think many people knew who he was. This was funny, especially Sudeikis’ botched teleprompter reading and them switching out Finesse for Kenan. Nothing too hilarious, and I have to dispute their claim My Name Is Earl is not a hit, because it is. It is disheartening that people don’t watch The Office though. This was pretty funny, not much too complain about. ***1/4 Monologue Cast- Catherine Zeta-Jones Thoughts- Chicago was on NBC tonight (Good filler during the Leafs-Flyers game since Air Force One wasn’t making any sense) so having already seen Catherine Zeta-Jones dance around, this didn’t really do it for me. In fact, this reminded me of the horrible Kate Winslet monologue from last year. The host singing is rarely funny. * BUTT Cancer Cast- Amy Poehler, Jason Sudeikis Thoughts- Call me a sucker for low-brow humour but I laughed at this much more then I should have. Cancer of the BUTT is just a funny thing to say. Plus, the words pooper and fudge always make me laugh. So kudos to SNL for that. *** Newsnight with Aaron Brown Cast- Zeta-Jones, Hammond Thoughts- They really should just give Darrell’s Aaron Brown its own skit like in the Ray Romano episode, instead of it saddling it with a lame bit like that. Zeta-Jones had nothing to work with here and it showed. I love Darrell’s impression of Brown and he had some good lines, but not even he could save the pretty lame premise. It sounded like Zeta-Jones was supposed to be playing Christine Amapour so why not just call her that? **1/4 Dance Party Cast- Zeta-Jones, Seth Meyers, Thompson, Armisen, Horatio Sanz, Forte, Mitchell, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg Thoughts- As I said earlier, I watched Chicago in between the hockey game, so I didn’t need to hear the music for Roxie be looped over and over, after I had already heard it and become sick of it then. I really don’t know what the hell this was supposed to be, because it certainly wasn’t funny. I mean, Zeta-Jones already did her theatre stuff in the monologue, I think once is more then enough. Given that Seth is the writing supervisor, I thought this skit needed lots of supervision, since it had no point and thus sucked pretty badly. Samberg saying jazz was the only time I laughed. ½* Franz Ferdinand “Do You Want To” Thoughts- I like Franz Ferdinand, and I always dig the whole British rocker getup and this was no exception. The song isn’t groundbreaking anything, but it’s a fun 3 minute song to listen to and the guitar hooks are quite good. I would’ve liked to see them when I saw U2 but instead we got Keane. Boo. But yay for Franz Ferdinand. ***1/4 Weekend Update Cast- Tina Fey, Poehler, Armisen, Sudeikis Thoughts- Woo, Tina’s back. I always thought the one silver lining to Jeff knocking her up was we wouldn’t have to see her on WU anymore. I was wrong. Jeff can’t even do this right! I thought Tina was better then Horatio, but the Fey-Poehler duo is still really bad. Amy is just never going to be good at doing this, and Tina still laughs like an idiot when Amy tells a bad joke or mugs for the camera. But I guess it’s a slight improvement or something. Fred as the blind comic had its moments, but Fred as the deaf comic is funnier. Sudeikis was hilarious as the high school coach. His comments about punting had me laughing my ass off, and it was an excellent commentary. Punting is for quitters. Tina and Amy had a few funny jokes but this made me really want to flip over and see the Canucks v. Avs finish. ** Italian Hotel Cast- Zeta-Jones, Poehler, Thompson, Armisen, Sanz, Sudeikis, Hader Thoughts- Bill Hader was really funny here and I loved the jokes about Rodney King and Kenan and Jason being gay lovers. Horatio was not needed here and the fighting between Zeta-Jones and Hader got old pretty fast, but Hader’s pop culture references were very funny and Fred was his usual good odd self. Didn’t care for the ending, but this had enough good moments to make it watchable. **3/4 Access Hollywood Cast- Zeta-Jones, Meyers, Poehler, Sanz, Thomspon, Sudeikis Thoughts- Zeta-Jones trying to do an impression of a teenage singer was funny but not for the good reasons that make me like skits. Seth’s Billy Bush impression was okay but the rest of this skit was just the same tired stuff they seem to do every other episode. Amy’s Sharon Stone impression is neither funny nor relevant. I mean, who gives a crap about Sharon Stone? Not even Kenan in drag could save this. ½* The Hot French Teacher Cast- Zeta-Jones, Poehler, Dratch, Mitchell, Thompson, Meyers, Sanz, Samberg Thoughts- Wow, the requisite Catherine Zeta-Jones is hot skit, and I actually found it to be really funny. Making Zeta-Jones a French teacher made the skit that much more awesomer, since you just hate anyone who immediately comes in and starts talking French. Finesse as the fire marshall was funny and I thought Seth was hilarious, even though I took Latin for three years and I don’t remember hearing the word Boo-Yah. I really liked Horatio ogling the teacher only to have Rachel be his wife, was a good payoff. Maybe I was happy the Canucks beat the Avs, but this skit just made me laugh. ***1/2 Franz Ferdinand “Take Me Out” Thoughts- Wow, Franz didn’t play another song from the new album. Interesting. I really got into Take Me Out (playing Madden will do that to you) and I thought this was a great performance. Next week is Sheryl Crow, who will probably not suck, but won’t be as good as Franz was. Very good stuff here, hooray for Brits who can play the guitar. ***3/4 Wedding Cast- Zeta-Jones, Forte, Fey, Sanz, Poehler, Armisen, Mitchell, Sudeikis Thoughts- Don’t know why Tina was in this skit, since this seemed kind of like a Forte skit. I know the humour was a bit low-brow, but I thought Forte was great as always and Zeta-Jones held her own. There were some really funny lines here and I liked the kiss->spank at the end. I always seem to like the Forte skit at the end of the show. *** Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Cast- Forte, Poehler, Armisen, Bill Hader Thoughts- These ads creep the heck out of me. Forte was hilarious here and I loved him just going off on Amy. I also laughed when Bill Hader called him a dick. Welcome to the show Bill. Word of advice: If you want to make me laugh really hard, say cock. It’s funnier. Anyway, thought the ending was a bit flat, but Forte was awesome. ***1/2 Schoenwald Studios Cast- Zeta-Jones, Meyers, Poehler, Dratch, Hammond Thoughts- Yep, it’s official. Schowenwald Studios is a dead character. It hit its peak when Snoop Dogg talked about the Muppets, but this was just really flat and painful to watch. Poor Darrell, he had to stay till the end for that? ¾* Bottom Line- Avg. skit was **.33 making this a thumbs in the middle show. It got off to a really bad start but towards the end it started to make a run but just couldn’t do it. Catherine Zeta-Jones was nice to look at, but was a pretty uninspiring host. A lot of the skits just didn’t have a chance tonight, as they were burdened with really lame set-ups and premises. I have absolutely no hope for Lance Armstrong next week, so I’m crossing my fingers that he falls off his bike or gets cancer or something. Pretty flat show this week, and Tina coming back won’t make things any better. Come on Seth, do a better job supervising that writing! Thumbs in the Middle

Okay. I'm tired of this thread, which says a lot because I wasn't actually involved in this banning. You people need to fucking grow up and get on with your lives. An e-personality was restricted access from a message board that you have no power on, and you're throwing a shit fit, for some reason. This is sad for a lot of reasons, and all you really have to do, you putrid piles of shit, is look in the mirror to figure them out. Couple things. 1.) Kotz was not made a mod as a joke, and if he was, he would have been cut when I cut the majority of the useless mod staff. He was kept on because he does a good job, and if you think for one minute that he doesn't, you're a fucking idiot who's probably illiterate. 2.) On the subject of illiteracy... Kotz didn't ban Mike. HTQ did. So, the whole "THE MOD AS A JOKE IS THROWING POWER AROUND" schtick doesn't really work here, and you need to shut the fuck up. 3.) The cost of the most recent server upgrade and maintenance exceeds your weekly allowance (I believe the hardware upgrades were in the range of $1,000 to $2,000, and a monthly cost of $100), and thus when it comes to the decision making, you have no say when we want you to have no say. Period. Deal with it. Feel lucky that this thread actually got to last 15 of the most painstakingly awful pages I have ever seen in my history as part of this message board, and that includes a great deal of posts from a great deal of idiots. 4.) MikeSC was a cancer to this board, and if you don't think so, you probably need to be slapped in the fucking face with a taste of reality, because you're so deluded that common sense is the most foreign concept you've ever experienced. Never, ever in my entire history of modding messageboards have I seen one person cause so much strife and bullshit and get away with it. 5.) Quit crying for Dr. Tom. He's not going to bring your "BRINGER OF THOUGHT" back because he doesn't give a shit. I'm sorry to have to break it to you that way, but that's that reality thing again. I'm afraid you are all going to have to exist on your own, without Mike feeding you every conservative thought imaginable. You'll live, I'm sure, you crazy impressionable youngsters you. Finally, get the fuck over it. You are all above the age of 12, I hope, so this is not the nefarious mindcrime you would have everyone believe it is. You will all go on your merry way, and this stupid bullshit will blow over like it always does, so quit your fucking crying and go outside or something. Oh by the way... Just to throw some food for thought. INXS was also banned, but oddly enough... that got ignored. Surprise. I'm going to lock this thread now, because it offends the hell out of me, and proves everyone who's ever said anything bad about TSM right, because of how stupid you all are acting. If you've got a problem with that, I honestly don't give a fuck. Get a fucking grip, you pieces of shit.

0-2 I guess

It'll probably be bad, but every once in a while you need a violent turn your brain-off movie. Doom fits the bill.

Make sure to call Lacey a whore.

This RAW was so bad, JR apologised for it in the Ross Report.

Cleveland Minnesota Indianapolis Kansas City St. Louis Cincinnati Philadelphia San Francisco Dallas Chicago Oakland Denver Arizona Atlanta Buffalo- 13 NO- 17

Yes. The D-Backs were able to figure out how he was throwing based on his motion and reacted accordingly. Game 6 was so much fun.

The last time I saw Foley in ROH he was pretty bad but I digress. I don't see a problem with Foley coming in just for a pop and a check, especially if he's just feuding with Carlito.

I never said he was hardup for money, but I don't see why we should demonize a guy for taking the best deal out there and working for the company that made him rich.

Damn Mick Foley for wanting to make some extra money and feed his family. He's just wrestling Carlito, it's not like he's back to being a full timer.

No, the White Sox are pretty much a secondary team in Chicago.

Most people I know think Pettite sucks, just b/c of that Game 6 debacle v. the Dbacks.

Like game 6 of the 2001 World Series where he imploded? Or his horrific start against the Angels in 2002? Or his start in Atlanta in 1999 where he was knocked out in the 4th? Or against Cleveland in 1998 where he allowed 6 runs in less than five innings? How about 1997 when the Indians knocked out the Yankees in the first round, thanks to Pettitte losing two games and surrendering 11 runs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could turn that around and list all his good postseason starts though and his 2001 ALCS MVP. He has something 16-17 wins.

Well yes but it still sucks. I hope we got a good minor leaguer.

Oh no

Yankees v. Marlins for me. George Steinbrenner v. Jeff Loria. Good lord. Living in NY, the Subway Series was a lot of fun.

I don't think anyone has ever made this statement at TSM.

Dwight arguing with the woman on the phone was easily the highlight.
