2GOLD

I'd rather have Dusty's nutty self doing color than wrestling.

Other than the dropkick, I found that to be one of the most boring ladder matches ever.

I know it's hip to hate Dane Cook, but I dare you to heckle him at one of his shows. That would imply someone above the age of 20 and not female wanting to go to one of his shows. Heckling is all part of the show, the best can handle it and turn it around. If they can't handle a heckler, they aren't going to be able to become a good comedian. Hell, I've met some managers who have paid someone to heckle their guy so they can turn it as a way to show how good they are. Plus it's usually just some drunk guy who security gets out in a few minutes anyway. That said, Richards is screwed. He made a huge mistake, never do the racist stuff. He might have just toasted his ass with this cause a "I'm sorry" doesn't save you from the racism charge.

Whitey sucks. Crackers always ruin the fun.

The one good thing I can say about Vick is he only has one season where he has more interceptions than touchdowns. Course he also only has one season with a QB rating above 80, which isn't good. And he's never had a season where he has completed more than 57% of his passes, which also isn't good. The talent is there, its just a question of which Michael Vick will show up. He might need a damn quarterback coach or a veteran he can actually listen too to get him over that hump.

Leinart, but not by much. Neither one of them should be involved in the Rookie of the Year discussion. Hell, Bruce Gradkowski right now is the best rookie quarterback to come out of the draft.

If they somehow some way make the playoffs, Frank Gore has got to be getting some serious talk his way. That guy has thrown the Niners on his back and carried them. 15 carries for 180 yards. That is simply amazing.

The Dolphins won again. With Joey Harrington at quarterback. JOEY HARRINGTON. Yes, THAT Joey Harrington. Oregon quarterback, Lions complete bust. That one. Joey Harrington is winning games.

GET THE BUCKET!

Just like last year. Jeff Garcia is doing his best to make Mike McMahon look like he was Joe Montana. 9 of 23 for 60 yards.

Watching this Eagles game has been like watching a televised suicide. If McNabb is hurt for a long period of time, you can write this team off.

From the way you are typing, I suddenly don't want a Wii. And the Eagles are confused and lifeless without McNabb. Down 24-6 to the Titans.

People love penguins. Ever CGI penguins with Robin Williams acting like a jackass.

135 MILLION?!?! 8 years?!?! The Cubs just proved without a shadow of a doubt that a sucker is born every minute and that sucker is Hendry. I like Soriano and all but that deal is beyond crazy.

McNabb is being carted off the field. Something has happened to his right leg. I really have no clue what happened, but he couldn't put weight on it and now Jeff Garcia is in.

Make that 17-0. The Scarlet Knights are finally starting to play like the Scarlet Knights I remember.

Well right now, Rutgers is laying an egg against the Bearcats. Cincy is dominating early, up 10-0 and have been having their way with the Rutgers defense.

A first run Sony system crashing? Surely you jest!

Not like the Florida kids have been model citizens either.

Well, if you listen to ESPN then Rutgers, Florida, and Arkansas do not exist.

If USC loses, Michigan is in the National Title game. I do not see the voters putting Rutgers up high enough even if they go undefeated. I don't see it happening. And Florida will be told "non conference schedule" and they will point at that Western Carolina game. Michigan needs USC to lose, that is the only way they get in the title game. If USC loses, Wolverine fans can start celebrating cause they'll get a second chance to lose.

I'm not saying it should but that is what it usually DOES come down too. Can your non-conference schedule hurt you badly. By showing who they played non-conference, it makes the discussion about conference and that never really decides anything. The SEC was very good in 2004, Auburn still got hung out to dry by their non-conference schedule. What happens out of conference is usually the life or death nail. That's all. If you go by the non conference, there are your argument pieces.

I decided to examine the Rutgers/USC/Florida/Arkansas/Michigan non-conference schedules and see what hurts them and what shouldn't hurt them. Additionally, Big East is still a major conference as long as they are BCS eligible. Accept it and deal with it Pac-10, SEC and Big 10 fans. Plus if a team is from a major conference, they count as a plus. If you want to say, "We play in the (insert conference here), that's gotta count for something" then you open the door to teams who play your conference teams in non conference play. Non conference Rutgers: at North Carolina- ACC team, I count that as a plus even though UNC choked out. A coach away from great Illinois- Big 10 team, has struggled but has shown life this year. Biggest loss of the season handed to them by Rutgers (33 points). Rutgers only team this season to shut them out. That's a plus (especially when Ohio St only beat them by 7). Navy- 7-3 on the season, should receive a bowl bid, lost 34-0 to Rutgers. Plus at the moment. Notre Dame and Tulsa their only other losses. If they win out and get a bowl bid, plus for Rutgers. Ohio- 7-3, currently leads the MAC with a 6-1 conference record. MAC was a media darling just few years ago so a winning record in the conference is a plus. Howard- hurts, hurts them bad. Might have given them more if Howard was a GOOD Div IAA school, but they are 4-6. Rutgers has a very strong case if (big IF) they can win their final three games of the season and capture the Big East crown. Howard game hurts them with the voters though, and will end up killing them much like The Citadel killed Auburn in 2004 the year they went undefeated. I'm expecting a 2004 deal with them as well. Non conference USC: at Arkansas- Big plus. SEC leader of the West and USC has handed them their only loss so far. USC is currently the road block holding back Arkansas from having any shot at the National Title game. Nebraska- Another big plus. Currently ranked on the season, Big 12 stronghorse leading the North. Notre Dame- another big plus, ranked sixth in the country at the moment. That's it for USC, three non-conference games. Very tough schedule ahead for them but they have the stigma of one loss. Will it affect the opinion of the voters? Of course not. Cause a one loss PAC 10 team is more important than an undefeated team. Just like a one loss BIG 12 team is more important than a undefeated SEC team. Speaking of SEC... Non conference Florida: Southern Miss- Conference USA team. 6-4 overall and 4-2 in conference. A plus with a win out for Southern Miss. We'll treat Conference USA like the MAC. UCF- Again, Conference USA team. 3-7 overall, 2-4 in the conference. Florida was the only team to shut them out. Push because of the record sadly. Western Carolina- Ok, well this one is a HUGE negative. Div IAA school, 0-7 in Southern conference play, 2-8 overall. This will end up being Florida's "Citadel". at Florida St- Still ACC team and one of the big name programs in football. Rival game and road game. Plus despite FSU struggles. And putting Western Carolina on as one of the four wasn't bright. Add in the one loss and Florida is NOT going to get ahead of USC, Michigan, Notre Dame or even Ohio St at the end of the season. They might get by Rutgers but who knows? They are the definition of a team needing help. If UCF can get respectable and Southern Miss can hang on, it'll help. But yeah, they need help with the addition of Western Carolina. Non conference Arkansas: USC- Helps them and hurts them. If USC drops another game, it gets them out of their way. But the loss to USC means USC will remain ahead of them. Bad news for the Hogs Utah St- WAC team, 1-9 on the season. Been shut out four times this season. Need I say more? Negative. SE Miss St- Did the SEC not learn from Auburn at ALL? Div1-AA, 4-6 Overall, 2-5 in the Ohio Valley. Negative UL-Monroe- Sunbelt conference team. 2-7 on the season. Negative. Ok, this is a miserable, MISERABLE non conference schedule. Even if they finish with one loss, there is no way I can see anyone making a case for this team. USC is a big plus yes, but the rest is horrible. Just horrible. When you look at the other resumes. Will need big help. Non conference Michigan: Vanderbilt- SEC team, already a plus for that fact alone. 4-7 on the season, doesn't make them any less of a plus Central Michigan- MAC team. 7-4 overall, leading the MAC West. Plus. at Notre Dame- Big plus. Currently the only loss on the ND resume. Ball St- 4-7 MAC team, not a plus or a negative. We'll call this one a push. Wow, the Michigan resume is stacked. USC and Michigan might end up being decided on points difference in the Notre Dame games. Michigan won by 26 when the Fighting Irish were #2 in the nation. Holy crap, this is probably the best of the ones. Since I did Michigan, I might as well do... Non conference Ohio St. Northern Illinois- 6-5 MAC school, at the moment a plus at Texas- Big 12 school, currently leads the South. Big plus Cincy- Big East school, which is a plus. 5-5 overall, biggest loss of the season to Ohio State (37-7) Bowling Green- 4-7 MAC school, give them the same push I gave the Wolverines and Florida. If Ohio St loses, I can now see why the talk will be rematch. Although Nebraska defeating Texas would allow USC to jump them since the Bowling Green game isn't a plus or a minus. Final breakdown -Rutgers will need to win out and hammer West VA to even get a whisper, don't bet on it. -USC is in good shape, but they will need Nebraska to knock off Texas if OSU loses to Michigan -Arkansas has horrible non conference schedules and can't say a thing towards an undefeated Rutgers. Will need a Rutgers loss, a USC loss, a win over Florida in the title game and somehow for Michigan/OSU or Notre Dame to forfeit their seasons. Next time, book some major conference opponents SEC. -Florida is a dark horse. The loss and Western Carolina hurt. UCF bombing out makes them look bad. -Michigan is set but they might need Notre Dame to beat USC just to be safe -Ohio State will need the same thing, although a Texas win over Nebraska might have the same effect. Best chances Michigan and Ohio State Good chances USC and Notre Dame Need some help here Florida and Rutgers Might as well be dead Arkansas.

God I hope it is WP. Only if we get the "I'm a success with women! They love me!" storyline, otherwise the show just doesn't advance.

The show didn't feel long at all and thats why I loved it. RAW tends to feel like it's dragging for five or six hours when it's only been on an hour and a half. That said, I won't be surprised when the ratings come back as .8 or .9 for the night. Hope I'm wrong but not betting I am.
