USC Wuz Robbed!

I knew he wouldn't be, after reading the spoilers again to make sure.

No, learn that when a team gets a new asshole ripped by another team and loses the majority of the defense while the other team retains more starters at key positions including the Quarterback who threw for 300 yards and four TDs against aforementioned team the prior year, it probably means that the first team shouldn't be perceived as "better". And the differences between the SEC and the Pac-10 are well documented to the point that your suggestion is quite humorous, actually. Actually I was citing it as a possible logic they would use. Not like Cal or Tennessee would do anything this season anyways.

According to FOX, Peyton Manning is the first player in history to win the league MVP, Super Bowl MVP and Pro Bowl MVP in the same season, last year. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't LaDainian Tomlinson the league MVP?

It would be harder for them to justify taking the X division title off Joe if he won the World title as well. Hell it's hard as it is to justify taking the belt off him when he's been booked leagues above everyone else in that division.

He wanted 60+ million. Considering the Browns had to pay 1/3 that, yeah it's a lot lower.

Never learn that Cal would finish higher in the conference than Tennessee?

Well duh. But what makes you think he took PED other then you "think" Like Ripper said, he would have to be in the minority if he didn't, and someone else pointed out that he admitted to taking greenies. Usually when they say "Oh I only experimented with it in a slump", it usually means "Yeah I used it a lot but I don't want to admit to that extent."

Then the title should be of no concern to you nor the shows.

Great. Raza and I are alike.

What the hell? You are a fierce wrestling traditionalist. You cringe when you hear the words 'sports-entertainment' are mentioned and you mantain the fact that the wrestling matches are what sell tickets and keep the business going. Most similar booker: Ole Anderson--- This is a bad thing, isn't it? Most similar promotion: MACW 70/80s

Matt Morgan showed potential. I welcome TNA signing him if they don't have him stutter.

So lemme get this straight... you don't think there are big names in New Japan... so you want Kurt Angle... an American... to destroy everyone, presumably to appeal to you, an American? What an incredibly jingoistic way to look at things.

The silver lining of this is that when HHH comes back, they already have "decent" ratings so they couldn't go up that much higher and go "HHH is the savior!"

I still think Hank Aaron was on something, so while he didn't HAVE to do shit, it would be highly hypocritical if he did take some kind of PED and then damn Bonds for the same thing.

Congratulations Barry Bonds.

Considering Calvin Johnson was signed to a 60+ million dollar deal, it looks like Quinn backed off his "Top 3 pick money" demand.

Yeah the defense is great, but like King says, the Pac-10 is pretty much an offensive conference, like the SEC is a defensive one. Anyone from Washington to Arizona to Stanford to Cal can score 35+ in any game, given the chance. And I don't trust Booty to be able to anchor the USC offense in every shootout.

I don't know about that. LSU lost Russell and they have problems keeping Perriloux out of trouble. Louisville is returning a lot of guys, but Michael Bush is gone. I'd say Michigan poses the strongest chance of winning the title right now. Or West Virginia.

Why is USC the consensus #1? Booty wasn't that good and they lost Jarrett and Smith.

Thomas isn't in yet? Lame.

So what happened to Kurt wanting to be this badass wrestling machine gimmick that he couldn't be in WWE?

Only if they have a logical and sensible follow up to the clean victory. If he regresses back into fucking around with Super Crazy, then no.

The Rock was on roids, likely.

Uh-oh, Czech didn't do what Al asked for this week's thread starter to note.

I guess Lashley was WWE's attempt to recreate the Goldberg magic, and if so, Bill was the most impressive not selling for anyone.
