Ced

I've rarely stepped foot into my local Toys R Us ever since the mall was built a half mile away from it. Even then, I only go in to look in the video games section. I'll probably go in before work this week to see if I can snag a few good marked down games.

Damn, those wise-guys at Yahoo! already took down Ricky Williams...oh well...let's see whose team gets riddled with injuries just days after the draft.

Right now I have 8 players for my league, so unless somebody drops out, I've got a full roster. Heh, I just dropped some Madden-esque insight. Best check with Thugg to see if he's got some open spots in his league. On a side note, anybody want to place a bet on who wins the Ricky Williams Lottery for no-showing without a draft list?

Is the Christo the same move as Tajiri's "Mr. Salty" in ECW?

I was a little too hung-over on Sunday to realize the problems with the draft. It's been pushed back (again) to Saturday, August 14 at 7PM Eastern/4PM Pacific. That being said, we need either an eighth person to enter or somebody to drop out and make it a six-man league. I personally want the former, so somebody jump in, even if you intend on not even showing the entire season (but that's still not cool.

Dammit, Rando, you PM'ed me just to take a look at this thing in my pants? What a fucking waste of time...in my pants.

*returns back from the real world and makes half the roster tap to the Ankle Lock*

...and I live... With Thoth gone I have two open spots on in the league, with 3 days until the draft...

I'll probably pass on both for at least a year or two since handhelds are on the bottom of my game playing totem pole. I'm slightly more tempted to get the DS than the PSP since it has backwards capability and backwards compatability is my friend in the video game world. I also dig the DS redesign. Much more sexier than the original design, I say. But to reiterate, I won't be snatching up either handheld until their libraries are established.

Today I was playing NCAA Football with my brother and while we're playing he happens to look at the back of my head and says to me "Hey, is that a grey hair?" I figure to myself, "Nah must be the lighting" since the lamp is right behind us. He insists it is and after a little arguing, I agree to allow him to pluck it out. So he yanks it out and, lo and behold, I have a white strand of hair staring back at me. It's definitely mine since I felt the hair being pulled and it's definitely not my normal hair color which is jet black. Then he tells me there's a few more on the back of my head, which isn't comforting at all. I'm thinking it's stress related but I'm naturally stunned at the fact that I've got a few grays on the back of my head.

Kaufman retired at 27 as well.

I'm going to be turning 23 shortly. My family has found about 8 greys, mainly in the back of the head. They've probably been there for awhile, but my normal haircut is so short around the sides that they're hard to spot. At least my dad's Balding Birdnest of Death has yet to rear its ugly head on my scalp. Still not as bad as my cousin, who's only 28 or 29 with very blatant grey hairs scattered about his head.

My Dudleyz "Dem Damn Dudleyz Were Here" shirt. It wins simply because I only have that, my Kaientai "Evil" shirt, and my NJPW shirt. Of the three, only the Dudleyz shirt collects dust.

Can anybody direct me to a clip of this? I keep hearing about it, but I've never seen it.

Don't forget Dan Severn was in the Brawl For All too. I remember he withdrew after winning his first round match. I just assumed they pulled him since they thought he posed a threat to Williams.

Despite going 2-9 in my 2004 Sac State campaign, I somehow steal WR Tyler Littlehale and CB Lorenzo Sims from Colorado (which got slapped with a 2 year probation) on top of recruiting four 4* players. The funny thing is, the power rankings put me in dead last at 119. I showed them what a 119 ranked team can do, killing 1AA West 55-0. Anybody know what probation does to a college?

Looks like we've almost got our brackets, with Frost, Johnny D, and Austin Sly yet to create teams. So that everyone knows, the live draft is now scheduled for Sunday, August 8th at 5 Eastern/2 Pacific. As Frost pointed out, if you think that you might not make the draft, then create a draft list unless you prefer that the system autopick for you.

Team - Sacramento State Hornets (1AA Team moved into the 1A Independents, replacing FIU) Difficulty: All American Quarter Length - 8 minutes Prestige - * Playbook - Run and Gun Best overall player - 68 LOLB Week 1: W vs 1AA West 17-13 My favorite whipping boys in the game. Week 2: BYE Week 3: L vs Youngstown State (1AA) 30-33 . Lost in a close match as they score a TD in the final minute and the power of the Hail Mary fails me twice. Week 4: BYE Week 5: L vs Western Kentucky (1AA) 21-38: Disgusting loss as three turnovers are converted into touchdowns in the first quarter. Made worse since I suspended my LOLB for the game for not showing up to practices. Week 6: L vs UL Lafayette 7-19: Despite my defense putting on a show (8 Sacks, 1 INT, and a Fumble Recovery for a TD), my team loses because my aerial game blows. My receiving unit dropped several money plays left and right on top of my QB being extra inaccurate with his bullet passes. Doesn't help either that my kicker can't hit anything further than 30 yards out.

Didn't realize he was such a bitter old man. Might as get the obvious out of the way...CHECKMATE, BITCH!

At long last, I make an appearence the HOLT's Biggest Pops list. *Takes a picture*

The GameCrazy thing sounds like a nationwide tourney so maybe I can enter and save face after getting owned in the Fight Night tournament by a 13-year-old. First game I played was Sacramento St. (1AA) vs OU in Memorial Stadium. Good god, the shaking, the shaking... The only thing I have against it so far is that if you play without the announce team, you get the stadium PA announcer, who sounds really bad when he enters enthusiastic mode after a big play ("Number 22 on the the carry...GAIN OF 15 YARDS~!") In my dynasty mode as Sacramento State, I suspended my top WR for two games for "having improper relations with a female booster" and lost my top CB for 12 weeks with a torn pectoral in a matter of two weeks. My top players only have 68 ratings. Damn, this is going to be a long first year. Anybody else testing out the Dynasty mode?

I have it on reserve and I'm going to pick it up and play it tonight. The first thing I'm going to look at will be how the "home team advantage"and player composure factors play into the game. The psych factor was the main reason I pre-ordered it so whether or not EA pulls those off will decide whether the game gets the thumbs up or down from me.

I just selected an arbitrary time and date to create the league. It can be pushed back or forward as needed. All I know is I'll need a weekend for a live draft. We can also change to an offline draft if we can't all agree on a particular time if need be.

William Hung. Dance, sucka! Seriously, Dante Basco. His biggest movie is friggin' Biker Boyz, but he wins since he's Filipino.

"FIRE!" *BOOM!* Pillars of flames briefly light up the entrance before disappearing and revealing Ced Ordonez standing on the stage. He fires up the crowd as best as he can before jogging towards the ring. He slides in and promptly makes his way to the far turnbuckle, giving the crowd an obligatory face pose. He hops down and gets in some quick leg stretches before the bell.

Signature moves: - Dragon Screw Legwhip - Regal Roll: Forward Roll from a Fireman's Carry. - Powerdrive Elbow: Ced bounces off the ropes once then drops a hard elbow. He usually gets overzealous and winds up landing on his opponent with his entire torso, making the blow even more uncomfortable for his opponent. - Double Stomp: With the opponent lying on the mat, Ced jumps up and drills both feet into his opponent's stomach. - REF BUMP~! - Ced picks a random high flying move and does it onto somebody from the apron to the floor. He's done it while refereeing a match, so it's always something to be wary of.

He rotates in midair and hits his opponent with a swanton. - Cross Lightning: Nagata Lock/Reverse Figure-Four Leglock. Submission finisher. - Dynamite Rave: Fallaway Moonsault. Cruiserweight finisher. With his opponent crotched on the top turnbuckle, Ced hops onto the second rope and hoists his opponent into a fallaway slam position. He steps up to the top rope and then he does a moonsault while still holding onto his opponent. The opponent slams onto the mat hard as Ced simultaneously lands on top of the opponent, allowing Ced to get the easy pinfall.
