Cheech Tremendous

Douchey or not, I like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Lots of hate going around TSM these days. C'mon people, it's the holiday season!

WMG will have to fire Kinzer, and probably Tellem as well. I know that agents are sleazy and that they are encouraged to do unscrupulous things to get their client the best deal, but they went too far this time. There has to be a line somewhere and they, unfortunately, decided to cross it. Now everyone knows it, and it will be hell for them in any future negotiations for their clients.

John Schuerholz, Braves President, and Frank Wren, current Braves GM, have informed the Wasserman Media Group (Furcal's agents) that they will never do business with them again. This is substantial news, as they actually have a fairly large list of clients that they represent (which you can find here: http://www.wmgllc.com/). Wow. I wonder if any other teams will follow suit.

Hmmm... that leaves an insufficient amount of time to really solidify the new "Styles G" moniker. Guess I'll have to go back to the tried and true "Cheech."

I actually find Biggie's story far more compelling than 2Pac's. From his inner-city upbringing and drug selling to the early days with Puff and the feud with 2Pac that nearly cost him his marriage and either directly or indirectly cost him his life, there seems to be a lot to tell. Then again, it could be because I prefer Biggie's music by a large degree. It also seems like we've heard Shakur's story too many times. Black panther mom, Baltimore to Oakland move, Digital Underground, Death Row and death... we get it already.

Several outlets are now reporting that the Cameron to the Yankees deal is dead.

-Which professional baseball team is set up best for the next five years, given their talent and the major and minor league levels? -How do you feel about the closing of Hawaiin Winter league? -Have you made up your list of top ten prospects? -Are you using UZR much yet? How close do you think we are to having a meaningful defensive statistic that measures value?

From the same guy that pulled out of negotiations with the A's because he didn't think they were being up front enough about their offer? What an asshole. I'll say it again: Furcal's not that special. I guess he got fair market value, but Orlando Hudson's better anyways. Go sign him instead. No one will be sweating the fact that they missed out on the Furcal sweepstakes in a year or two.

I eagerly await the day that Slayer retires and devotes his life to constructing and maintaining the TSM Presidential Library.

Who was behind the Seven Word Bandit?

http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=68058 Thanks! I've never actually seen the original thread. I busted up laughing at CronoT's long description of his new furniture and organizational system and then lost it when the next poster said that he could put all that shit on one shelf. Amazing.

But could the the Tongan Death Grip kill a retarded child? We may never know. Isn't John Tenta dead?

While everyone was wishing a happy birthday to Jericholic82 we forgot to recognize Jericholic82. for also turning 26. Congrats to both.

This is not the best of news for the Titans. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?i...e=ESPNHeadlines

I don't know. His member no. is 5,162 and mine is 5,151. Does that mean 11 people signed up for TSM that day? Was there something special about June 29, 2004?

I've heard eight songs on that entire list. I'm only 92% out of touch. Puts on Led Zeppelin II.

Wow, it took 4.5 years, but 4EVERDELAYED found a thread worth commenting in.

So, as it turns out, Rocco Baldelli does not have have mitochondrial disease. He was misdiagnosed by the Rays team doctors. Apparently he has channelopathy, which is far less severe and easily treatable. He should be able to make a full return to baseball. Below is a transcript from a Providence radio report regarding Rocco.

Wow, Al has way better seats than you do.

If you're ever in Seattle and need someone to share a bromantic evening with, you need only to ask. Don't worry, I won't pressure you into anything you don't feel comfortable doing. Can I be the third wheel? I like to watch.

I thought this was stupid until I saw that it was, in fact, an expression of his undying love for the movie Teen Wolf. I'm all for that. Me too.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Granted, I have four-wheel drive, but I have hard time seeing why people must drive 5 fucking miles an hour down major arterials. The Public Works department has been good about throwing down gravel and most major streets have enough traffic to prevent any sort of major ice build-up. It boggles my mind that people drive like we're in the middle of a white-out blizzard. I can see the pavement, fer chrissakes!

Didn't it seem like they would build Meng up every 6-12 months, having him squash JTTS and mid-card guys, only to eventually get squashed by the guy they really wanted to push? I seem to remember this scenario happening multiple times, but it could be my mind playing tricks on me. I never had much interest in Meng/Haku. I can't think of one time where I was really that interested in what he was doing, and that started from a young age when I just wanted Demolition to beat the shit out of him and have him go away. Meng's a good example of the fact that you need a strong character to get over in modern wrestling. Having a rep as a real life tough guy doesn't always translate on screen.

Eddy Curry plays for the Knicks. The Knicks would like to trade him to the Bobcats for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell, since they play for the Bobcats and all. Try to keep up.
