Personally, I like the challenge of having to develop the college players into NFL players. It gives me a challenge on the difficulty that I am on (All Pro/Madden.) I rent the NCAA games, do a quick two year dynasty and save the draft class. I pretty much spend only 50-55 bucks, and I enjoy Madden and both games. I'm also picking it up to get the legends which is expanded. Good mix of the old and new, which calls for a dream game. Considering that I work a 9-to-5 job, it's fucking fun laying out Lee Suggs with Joey Porter, and running guys over with Bettis.

Any idea on the extras for the Pillman DVD? I ended up doing a pre-order for that, and just wanted to know. Anything about the Piper DVD?

I finally got the chance to see it today, and I was impressed. I really liked it, and had some great moments. I really liked the dialogue, especially the stuff about racism. The stuff about Pillow Pants just freaked me out. I don't know why, but since JSBSB, I just find Jay to be annoying. Don't know why, but I think the two having their own movie, just turned me off. Probably see if when it's at the budget though.

NWA/WCW in 1989 had some great guys on it. Ric Flair Ricky Steamboat Terry Funk Sting The Great Muta Lex Luger Brian Pillman Dr. Death Steve Williams The Steiner Brothers Steve Williams The Midnight Express The Free Birds (All three) Barry Windham (for a bit) Tom Zenk Mike Rotundo You also had guys like Paul E. Dangerously and Jim Cornette as managers. You also had teams like The Skyscrapers and The Samoan Swat Team who were decent heels. You had some great PPV's and some great matches on various shows.

I got a question, and I need to settle a debate with somebody. What did Ric Flair think about having guys like Roma and Mongo in the group. Did he ever have an opinion about it in his book or any interviews?

What the hell is that from? Besides that, anybody know where you can get a good deal on the first season. I find it, but it's nearly 25 bucks at the usual stores.

Ok, I didn't order the show, so anybody have pictures of the cage and what Kennedy looked like after the match? The only photo I found was a B&W one on the WWE website.

Anybody know where Kornheiser is? He's been gone for like 20 days or something. I'd think that it would be for MNF or something like that. Jut have Stat Boy and Wlbon do the show. It was sad hearing Whitlock justify that hot dog eating is a "real" sport. The Schwab guy is just sad to see considering that I know guys like that. All they just do is study sports, and it's cool for a bit, but it gets annoying. It's nice that they are showing college football games that just aren't ND games. Over the past couple of days, I've gotten Colorado/Michigan, Nebraska/Oklahoma 71, and other games. Tomorrow is an hour long clipped versio of Georgia/Tennessee from 95, and Auburn/Alabama from 1983.

Freddy vs Jason: Only 13 bucks at Target, and has became a guilty pleasure, I can just watch it more than once a day, and don't get tired of it. Probably will, but it's still brain-dead fun. The Freddy/Jason fight in the end is one of my favorite fights of all time.

Amazon has a The Office: Season 2 page up, with a September 12th release date. I'm gonna try to reserve this one, like the other seasons. The Office: Season Two Well, I just wasted taping all of season two and wasting 20 bucks on tapes. I taped that with the first season of My Name Is Earl.

DX is now a third rate sitcom, likes the ones that last a week on Fox. This really is a July 4th Raw, with odd matches and chuck full of lame, time killing segments.

The Entire Story of The Atteempted Making of Superman V in The 90's I saw the movie at the Ultrascreen which is about as close at the IMAX without paying for the insane fee's that my offer for the film. I thought that the film was great, with a lot of great performances overall. I really like Spacey, Routh, kid who played Olsen, and Perry White. Spacey and Routh both did the characters well, and Spacey was over the top, but not as bad as Hackman and Nicholson. Routh did good being the bumbling Kent, and played the role very well. The supporting cast did fairly good, and I even liked that guy who played Cyclops whom I hated. The kid really wasn't that damn annoying (see Superman III) and I liked the whole feel. I really didn't like Bosworth though, she wasn't that good as Lane. It wasn't worst peice of casting for a comic book film (honor goes to Alba in FF) but they could've casted somebody who at-least had a backbone. Overall, the second best comic book film I ever saw, next to Batman Begins. 9/10.

Why would they put Torrie Wilson on the cover? Aren't covert ops secret agents supposed to be serious and not smile? Next WWE book will be like that one Michael Jordan film he did with the Looney Tunes or something.

The Green Mile Brian's Song (Original) Rudy King Kong (original and re-make)

At my local video game store (Video Game Exchange) they ran a four for 50 deal. I picked up Killzone, MLB 06: The Show, The Suffering 1 & 2. I also stopped at a comic book store that sells old arcade games. I put in a pre-order for WWF WrestleFest that should arrive in about a month. Only cost me 450 bucks. Not bad for a day off, and all the games are good, especially Killzone.

Thank god for satellite radio, so I longer have to hear that peice of shit show Mike and Mike In The Morning. It's funny seeing Greenberg trying to act like a hard-ass, and falling flat on his face. Most of the cartoons/songs suck, and keep to sports for once. I don't want to hear about a fucking wedding, a book or The Break Up. I just want to hear about sports, and not the only Tony S. speil out of Greenberg. Sad thing, these guys make Peter Brown look like some great sports analyst.

Venture Brothers: Season One

Green Bastard, Parts Unknown.

Tonight is Sexual Harassment with David Koechner as Todd Packer. I think this was the first episodes of season two. Some pretty funny moments on the show, and www.theofficequotes.com is a great place for Office quotes.

Well, nice to know you guys. I wanted us to draft Cutler or AJ Hawk. But that asshole has to come back for some more glory. *hangs himself*

Earlier Story: It's another day, so there's another fresh round of information regarding the Reggie Bush scandal. Citing a source familiar with NCAA compliance issues, the Los Angeles Daily News reports that USC could face serious sanctions. This contradicts a Monday report from ESPN.com's Joe Schad, who said that the Trojans likely won't land in any horse poop. The key is whether the Trojans knew or should have known about the situation (if, of course, Bush's family was living for free or at below-market rent in the house owned by prospective marketing agent Michael Michaels). "If, and it's a big if, USC knew or should have known about this, then anything is possible," the source told the Daily News. "If any of the coaches or staff members knew about it and didn't do anything about it, or conducted an investigation that was faulty, that would be egregious, a potentially major violation." But if USC ultimately is required to forfeit any of its 2005 games, the program will not have to return its cut of the Rose Bowl money. "While schools can be forced to return revenues from the NCAA basketball tournament," the Daily News explains, "the NCAA isn't the sanctioning body for bowl games. Still, nothing will happen in the near term, so we continue to believe that Bush gains nothing at all by talking about it. We had a chance to eyeball his performance on ESPN and FOX's Best Mutherf--kin' Sports Show, Period (we know that's not the real title, but we like the sound of it). We weren't impressed by Reggie's words -- or his demeanor. On ESPN, Bush declined to say who paid the rent for the house in which his family had been living. On FOX, Reggie said (to a round of applause from the audience and crotch nuzzling from the hosts) that he has "nothing to hide." Reg, if you have "nothing to hide," then why not say who paid the rent? Another telling comment, in our view, came during the ESPN interview, when Bush said that success leads to people who might try to "latch on to you" and "get something from you." That sounds to us like a reference to Michael Michaels, the owner of the house in which Bush's family lived, and it implies that something had been going on between the Bush bunch and Michaels before this story broke. So what does any of this mean in the short term? We still don't know. If the story continue to grow as the week unfolds, there's a chance that the growing cloud over Bush's previously pristine image could be a factor in the Houston Texans' decision-making process at the No. 1 spot in the draft. If, for example, the Texans are troubled by the manner in which Bush is handling the questions being posed to him (either by the media or, possibly, by the Texans themselves), it could be the breeze that nudges them off of the fence -- and that prompts them to pull the trigger on defensive end Mario Williams. If nothing else, the Texans have acquired some significant leverage in their contract talks with Bush's agent, Joel Segal.

POSTED 2:53 p.m. EDT, April 25, 2006 BUSH HAD AGREEMENT WITH NEW ERA? In what could be the next big step toward a finding that USC tailback Reggie Bush was ineligible for all or part of the 2005 football season and that USC knew or should have known about Bush's ineligibility, Liz Mullen of the SportsBusiness Journal reports that sworn testimony from two hearings regarding a parole violation indicates that New Era Sports & Entertainment had an agreement of some sort with Bush. Michael Michaels and Lloyd Lake founded New Era in 2005. Earlier this year, Lake faced the revocation of his parole from federal prison. At one of the hearings, Lake's lawyer, Marc Carlos, testified that "Mr. Bush — or through his associates — had made some type of agreement with Mr. Lake's group." Carlos also testified that, after Bush signed with another group, there was a dispute over "representations made by Bush and his family to Mr. Lake's group" and that "they were going to discuss potential litigation — or a settlement involving Mr. Bush's involvement with that agency." David Caravantes, an NFLPA-certified agent who reportedly was being lined up by New Era to handle the negotiation of Bush's football contract, testified as well. Caravantes confirmed his arrangement with New Era: "Lloyd [Lake] and I had got together in October [2005] to start a new sports management company with Sycuan. . . . Since October, Lloyd was a viable part of the company, helping recruit players, and in the process of merging this New Era Sports with Sycuan. In the process of this happening, you know, it obviously hurt the company because he had some relationships with certain players who ended up not signing." Lake gave the following testimony: "I had a sports agency that we had formed, and we had a guy in, Winston Justice, from USC. . . . Reggie Bush came into town. And at that time he was going to go out with us." The initial significance of this testimony is that it removes any credible doubt that, at some time after Bush's family moved into the house owned Michaels but before the completion of the 2005 football, Michaels was an "agent" within the meaning of the relevant NCAA bylaws. Thus, if it ultimately is shown that Bush's family paid anything less than fair market rent after Michaels became an "agent," then Reggie was necessarily ineligible under the NCAA rules for each subsequent game. More importantly, the reference to "potential litigation" suggest that New Era had (or at least thought it had) some type of binding commitment with Bush. If such an agreement was reached prior to the completion of the 2005 football season, Bush was ineligible regardless of whether his mother and stepfather were paying fair value for the house owned by Michaels. Also intriguing is Caravantes' reference not to Michael Michaels, but to his tribe -- Sycuan. The Sycuan tribe previously has denied involvement in Michaels' sports venture. The testimony from Caravantes potentially muddies the water. Folks, this thing has gotten a lot uglier over the past 48 hours, and we've got a feeling that it will get uglier long before it gets un-ugly. As more evidence of the ties between Bush and New Era is revealed, it will be harder and harder for USC to claim that it didn't know -- and shouldn't have known -- that Bush had forfeited his eligibility either by striking a deal with New Era or through the receipt of benefits from New Era by his family.

POSTED 10:58 p.m. EDT, April 23, 2006 IF REGGIE IS INELIGIBLE, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HEISMAN? A great question that several readers have raised in the wake of the jarring revelation that the family of former USC tailback Reggie Bush apparently was living for free in a house owned by a guy who wanted to handle Reggie's marketing work is what happens to Bush's Heisman trophy if the NCAA ultimately finds that Reggie was ineligible for the 2005 season? Our best guess is that Bush would lose the trophy, and that it would go to Texas quarterback Vince Young, who finished second in the voting. And though we're not suggesting that Bush eventually will have to turn over the biggest individual prize awarded in college sports, this thing easily could spin out of control -- especially since the Yahoo! Sports story has been picked up by the AP and will get a lot more play on Monday as the national talking heads begin to focus on the story. It's not exactly the kind of attention that the Bush family was hoping to receive five days before the draft, but none of them should be surprised by the fact that their apparent decision to accept a benefit from someone who wanted to represent Reggie has been exposed. Meanwhile, look for other journalists with more resources that us to dig deeper into the relationship between the owner of the house, Michael Michaels, and agent David Caravantes. As we explained earlier on Sunday, it appears that Michaels and Caravantes are working together in the representation of South Carolina tackle Jabari Levey. Since Caravantes is certified by the NFLPA, he might be hearing (as soon as Monday) from the union regarding his role, if any, in the acquisition of the house. Also, the fact that Caravantes used to practice with Joel Segal -- who now represents Bush -- could prompt the NFLPA to take a look-see at whether there was any connection between Segal and the house owned by Michaels. This one is a mess, folks. And we think it's gonna get a lot messier, quickly

Vernon Davis Video This kid is a fucking freak of nature. He can split out as a WR, and if the Packers take a guy on offense, take him. I'm still for AJ Hawk, but knowing Thompson, he'll go offense.
