Certainly have a Brady Anderson WTF?!? season going here. I think James hit the cyber-juice this offseason.

Did they get a 4th as compensatory? I thought it was just the 1 and 5 as of the other day.

They traded a 5th rounder next year, not this year. So they are still holding onto a mighty 2 picks this year.

::looks at second month stats:: Yeah, that first month for James certainly wasn't a fluke.

I agree, but there aren't many other ways to discourage player saturation. We could set game limits. Maybe 100 games per position. This gives you some room to cycle, but you wouldn't want your bench players in every game.

We could add in turnovers if you wanted to counteract player saturation.

When did I get traded?

That doesn't make sense to me. If the Leafs were burnt out for game 7, why weren't the Flyers? They played in the same conditions.

Time for a bump as we come to the second best race of the year: the Bristol spring race (second only to the Bristol night race). Always action packed, 43 cars, 1/2 mile, heated tempers, beating and banging. Won't bother predicting a winner as nothing is predictable at Bristol.

It was funny hearing Arnold just droning on and on about getting in shape.

American Pie 2 The commentary with Mena Suvari, Jason Biggs, and whatshisface who played Kevin. About 80% of the "comments" was just Mena chuckling at something. So everytime she laughed the sound were go down, she would chuckle, 2 second pause, sound comes back up. It was all just silence or chuckling.

I was thinking it would be interesting if the Reavers were actually just normal men, not men driven mad. Former Independants who were still fighting the war. It makes sense with the the "haven't seen this torture since the war" statement. Plus when in Serenity, they say that the Reavers get further and further out each year. This could work in the sense that they have started to drum up support in the desolate border planets and are increasing in numbers. It would explain why the Reavers have and are able to operate the outdated equipment. They don't leave survivors, because they can't have anyone who isn't onboard with the plan learning of the growing rebellion. And they figure they might as well send a message in the brutality of the killings that everyone should stay the fuck out of their area. I think it would also lead to an interesting storyline when we finally meet the Reavers and they turn out to be browncoats. Will Mal and Zoe return to the fight? Will there be a rift among the rest of the crew? Mal and Inara? It seems like a way to keep the two big storyarcs seperate, but yet tie everyone in (Alliance and Blue Sun will have to find out someday). It would also let us see how far Mal has come and also let us wonder if he was actually fighting the good fight to begin with?

1. I am recent to MMA, so someone will be able to get more detailed with Couture. But he did stop Chuck Lidell with strikes at UFC 43. So he has to have some power behind his punches. 2. Sakuraba-Royler Gracie Kimura

I guess I'll go with Thome for my pic.

277 IP? Jesus tapdancing christ. What the hell happened to Frost this year? p.s. My guy owns all.

I'd rather just have small game recaps. Maybe couple paragraphs per game.

I think he could be a quality MLB. He has the size and speed (a 4.6 40 on defense, outside of the secondary, is terrific). Coming from an amateur wrestling background, he must have very good lateral quickness. If you stick him in an organization like the Eagles, where the safeties call the defensive schemes as opposed to the MLB and just let him go out there to find the ball and tackle there is real potential IMO. For reference, top MLB Jonathan Vilma is 6 ft. 233 lbs and runs a 4.54 40.

So we have those and also figure in: Murilo Ninja - Chute Boxe has already named him as their rep Coleman - You can't have a GP without the defending champ Kharitonov - won survival fight

8 participants for the GP have been announced • Fedor Emelianenko • Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira • Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic • “The Texas Crazy Horse” Heath Herring • “Ice Cold” Igor Vovchanchyn • Stefan “Blitz” Leko • Sylvester “The Predator” Terkay • Sentoryu Here is a bio on Terkay: " He is 6'6 and 330 pounds. As well as being an NCAA Division 1 champ, he was also a 3-time NCAA All-American. He is currently training at Inoki's gym in Los Angeles, and is one of his top prospects. He beat Kurt Angle during his 1993 title run." Basically sounds like a bigger Brock Lesnar without the name value.

Best case scenario for the Lightning is to have the Flyers slip to the 4 seed and win their first round matchup. The Lightning are just a bad bad matchup for the Flyers. And I am going to echo Spiff's sentiments. If Burke shows up in goal, the Flyers are toast. Robert Esche is worthy of a chance and he is just as good as anyone else not named Brodeur.

How did you find out about my machine?

::kicks back in chair, uses flaming thousand dollar bill to light cigar:: Yeah, I can't believe we lost again. Oh well ::grabs another thousand dollar bill out of a tissue box::

I didn't think they were booting Yamamoto for losing to CroCop. I just thought that the punishment was having to face him.

Now for the $64,000 question: When will the first round lineup be release? My guess: April 18.

I don't give a shit about Gigli or Jersey Girl personally, neither looked interesting to me. But don't even try to say that they will not be intertwined. The first movie with Jennifer and Ben bombed. It was joke material for a good couple of weeks at least. The second Jennifer and Ben movie is set up to fail. I don't care if Jennifer has a small role, I don't care if the movie is better, and I don't care if the movies have any/no relation. The fact is if the second Jennifer and Ben movie has a bad opening week, that can of worms is back open. Right or wrong.
