2/3 falls and 30 minute ironman is pretty redundant. A good 2/3 falls match should be going around 30 minutes anyway.

And I'll wait to see how it comes off on TV, but a submission match only lasting 10 minutes doesn't sit right with me, as IMO it makes the loser look weak. My guess is they'll stick a commerical break in the middle to make it seem like it went 15, but even so....

Hawaiian Hoss

Morrissey is God, HUGE props for the weekend of thunder matches

Damon Jones. Eddie is #6

Ilgauskas or Okafor

I just want to say, Ben Wallace is NOT an all-star this year

Kobe will definitely be back by then. The starters have been decided for a month now, the reserves will be real interesting though. My picks: West: Steve Nash Mike Bibby Dirk Nowitzki Ray Allen Shawn Marion Chris Webber Amare Stoudemire East: Jermaine O'Neal Gilbert Arenas Zydrunas Ilgauskas Paul Pierce Jamaal Tinsley Dwayne Wade Larry Hughes (*injured - replaced by Steve Francis) snubs: west: AK-47 (injured for too long), Brad Miller, Rashard Lewis, Elton Brand, Manu Ginobili east: Kirk Hinrich, Stephon Marbury, Antoine Walker Squads are still 12 men, right? They need to expand them by another spot IMO

Ric Flair v. Scott Steiner re-up http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2CDLTGXOXFMS53VO4ZYDY5QPSC

De La Soul - 3 ft. High & Rising A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels & The Paths of Rhythm Common - Resurrection Digable Planets - Reachin' Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - I Wish My Brother George Was Here This is the epitome of anti-gangsta And Slick Rick's "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick" is pure, goofy, old school fun

If you have the time to upload these I'd be extremely grateful

Yousendit went down while I was in the middle of uploading Flair/Steiner, and I had to go out. It's back up now, so I should have it in 30-40 minutes or so.

I like Yahoo because it's free if you don't mind not having live stats (an unnecessary luxury if you're into checking box scores), and you can customize the leagues however you like. I usually play ESPN too, just because I like the layout of their website and everything. I've been playing for 4 years now, and I'm planning to do my first keeper league this year, should be fun

He's always been hurt his whole career, missed big chunks of time in both LA and San Antonio. The Jailblazers knew what they were getting into.

Ty Law was in the Jungle today, good interview, but Rome didn't ask him about where he might end up next yeat, which surprised me. Priest Holmes was the next guest, and he immediately started recruiting Ty for the Chiefs

Yeah, the time for these articles was when he was traded in the off-season, or even early in the season when it was clear from the first game (when the Pats started off with 11 straight passing plays and didn't even have Dillon in the game, which Dillon was very cool about with the media) that Dillon was going to be a team guy. It comes off as sour grapes to publish hit-piece articles during the playoffs.

I think the fact that none of his old teammates called to congratulate him says it all, but personally all I care about is how he handles himself with the Patriots, which by all accounts has been as a professional, and the shit with the Bengals is history. It reminds me of how sportswriters tried in vain to discredit Latrell Sprewell after he landed in NY, like they thought it was their mission as the keepers of integrity to turn the NY fans against the guy. Message to the self-important sportswriters: Fans only care about off-court shit when on-court performance suffers, and the only ones who care about what happened in the past are the ones who got burned by it (ie. Bengals and Warriors fans).

Haven't had time til today, but I'm upping Flair/Steiner right now. Awesome match, that I'd only heard about til now. Pissed that I missed Backlund/Inoki, but the awesome stuff from ajnin1 makes up for it

You know what would be awesome, if they did another one of those "Vince in the hospital" bits. Bring back Foley & Socko and have Austin shove something up his ass just for the hell of it

Derek Anderson had a root canal, and then developed a sinus infection as a result and it looks like he has to have another oral surgery to correct that. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want the guy out there right now, root canals and sinus infections are probably pretty distracting when you're trying to play a sport, there's no way he's going to have his head in the game 100%

Tell that to Phil Jackson And the "Lakers are better off without Shaq, Shaq was a detriment" argument is RETARDED. If I remember correctly, when Kobe was out and Shaq played the Lakers had a very good win %, and when Shaq was out and Kobe played the team struggled to be .500. End of argument. I feel real bad for Rudy T, I just hope he gets his health in order and everything works out for the guy.

He lost a submission match to Meng in WCW.

I'll re-up Steiner-Flair if someone (someone named Sledgehammer) will re-up Sting/Luger v. Steiners. Deal?

I saw him have some decent-good matches in the UWF, don't remember anything special from the WWF days, but I assume his NWA stuff was quality.
