USC Wuz Robbed!

Agreed that he is deserving, unfortunately one big knock against him is that some voters are adamant that the award only be given to an upper-classman, no matter how much better the under-classman may have been See also: Eric Crouch over Rex Grossman in '01 Don't forget Matt Leinart over Adrian Peterson in '04. I think McFadden wins this one due to that upperclassman preference.

Then once they see how lame it looks (hypothetically) they wouldn't want to go see it. The intrigue is probably 3/4 of what they are hoping sells the tickets.

So if someone gets busted with the ganja, they should be banned from baseball and the Hall of Fame? Considering my position is to let Bonds, Rose and Jackson in, obviously not.

They suck? Compared to the superpowered Patriots, sure, but compared to most of the AFC, not really. They're just inconsistent. Now the Chargers should be more embarrassed winning in that fashion than the Colts should losing like that.

How is losing to San Diego embarrassing?

Law tend to supersede rules.

I will say with all honesty that if Bonds were not to make the Hall, I would never take that Hall of Fame seriously ever again.

Let's be honest. Suppose Bonds caught the heat from the current voters and he is kept out. There will be voters who doesn't care about that stuff and keep him a candidate by voting him. Once the heat dies down, I don't see any chance that Bonds doesn't finally get in. He is not only the HR king but he also drew absurdly high amount of walks in his career, and I assume he had a good OBP. There's just too many "positive" statistics to keep Bonds out. If he was a fringe player like McGwire then I can see him being kept out for good, but Bonds is usually considered one of the best in history, and you just don't keep him out because he lied under oath or because he was one of the many to take steroids. But to keep a frame of reference, I also think Pete Rose and Joe Jackson should go in the Hall, so my opinion could be considered as questionable at best.

Jericho being "The Human Highlight Reel" makes no sense seeing how he isn't built on the flashiness of his moveset. He doesn't have a reel of memorable spots. That nickname is better suited for someone like Rey in his prime or Jeff Hardy.

Shelton would be good as Kurt's X-Division buddy.

The whole Kelly thing didn't really make sense to me. Jim and Kelly has always been portrayed as having somewhat a near (by office standards) friendship with Kelly always yapping about things to Jim and Jim just listening while trying to leave. Now Kelly gets a boyfriend and all of sudden she dislikes Jim because he can't play Ping Pong?

Yeah Bonds's definitely in the Hall. Only way he isn't if he was actually given the ban from MLB.

FRIDAY Hawaii at Nevada SATURDAY Ohio State at Michigan Maryland at Florida State Kentucky at Georgia Mississippi State at Arkansas Duke at Notre Dame Penn State at Michigan State Purdue at Indiana N.C. State at Wake Forest New Mexico at Utah Boston College at Clemson West Virginia at Cincinnati Oklahoma at Texas Tech Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Ohio State/Michigan game? 66 Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Boston College's Matt Ryan have against Clemson? 215

It's still very early. They are finding their groove, but once (if) they get there, I don't see how the Emmys won't consider the show. It's been compared to House, and that show certainly gets looks from the awards people.

Are there any storylines in the 24/7 mode?

The Bulls actually have A win. EFA.

Cromartie needs one more to tie a game record for picks.

They were probably looking ahead to this game.

Records nonwithstanding, I wonder what people would think if San Diego laid a bigger beating on the Colts than the Pats did?

Don't forget Anthony Thomas.

I clinch the win early in the day, cool.

How? Studios have shows ready to go that doesn't need writers. Yeah some networks are going to be better off than others, but the writers can't do anything but independent projects, and those don't generally get them THAT much money. They'll fold first before studios would.

How about who cares?

Serious question: How many of the mainstream audience and CNN themselves really care that WWE posted the unedited interview, exposing them as fakes? I'd imagine they aren't even aware or wouldn't care at all and stand by what they did.

I guess my bowl hopes remain alive, beating Bored. Good stuff.
