An announcement on that will be made Saturday, according to Vick's lawyer.

Marcus Vick needs to be on a team led by a veteran quarterback of impeccable character who would show Vick what's what.

According to the report on PWInsider, Kimmel actually announced that he wants to have the fan on the show.

Only if one excludes all the Spanish-language shows on Univision, Telemundo et al...

ABC has the Super Bowl so this weekend's 2nd contest won't be the final ABC game. Although I suppose that the Patriots beating an overmatched NFC team in Detroit could be uninspiring.

A very strange thing to make fun of considering that TNA is actually expected to launch its own show soon.

Someone using an anti-Colts screen name posted that joke on another wrestling forum, not TSM.

In fairness, it should be pointed out that the official cause of death has not yet been determined. The news reports pointing towards suicide may prove to be accurate but are still unofficial for the moment.

More on the death of James Dungy from Tampa ABC affiliate WFTS. Suicide is being rumored as the possible cause. Very sad...

Some of the newer soccer-specific stadiums with 20,000+ seating like Home Depot Center in the Los Angeles area would make sense. They're generally equipped to handle multiple uses such as concerts in addition to soccer. It's not too big a stretch to believe that the occasional WWE special show could work in such facilities.

Mike Johnson @ PWInsider.com confirmed the report tonight.

Cuba's been denied entry into the country by the U.S. government for the World Baseball Classic. MLB and its players union will both appeal the decision. I'm as anti-Castro as anyone else but this denial just seems stupid and serves no useful purpose. AP via Yahoo.

I think in many ways the beginning of the spike TV show marks a sort of restart for TNA. Beyond that the return of Sting is still pretty noteworthy, especially considering he never chose to sign with the WWE. The reports that Sting is coming in full-time for the one year, not just making spot appearances like in the last go-round, make this signing somewhat more noteworthy too.

The promotion of name veterans may be more Spike TV's mindset at this point. This deal (if true) should work out better than the Kevin Nash deal at least. I feel sorry for Christian Cage though, he'll have to be knocked down for awhile to make room.

You were half right.

TNA doesn't need the legal entanglements.

I saw the rumor in rec.sport.pro-wrestling, derived from one of the minor wrestling news sites. Someone claiming to be an unidentified TNA source stated that Benoit had come to a verbal agreement with TNA. There's no known confirmation of the report on any of the more reputable sites. The report doesn't seem credible at this point.

Scherer didn't name the Raw GM, he just said that a certain person had been approached for the position. It's not known whether said person had accepted.

RAW's on a half-hour delay in Canada. TSN had curling until 9:30. Deleted for my own good taste.

TSN is on a delay because of curling.

Ric Flair may be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time but he is not The Man.

We'll get that perfect world, just be patient for it. TVWeek reports that this week's "Prison Break" episode will be rerun on Monday, March 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. New episodes resume Monday, March 20 also in the 8 p.m., pre-"24" slot.

Not to mention ratings would be even lower against House/Earl/Commander/Amazing Race. The show was decent until that completely embarassing, sick and idiotic ending. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Earl wasn't on tonight (extended "Biggest Loser" season finale) but your point is well taken. The timeslot is a killer.

I just think it is remarkable that the word "steroids" was actually written on the WWE.com site. It would be nice to believe that this new policy (if it is real and not just for media spin) will be instituted out of genuine concern for the wrestlers. It seems more likely that McMahon wants to have a policy in place to point to should he ever get called up to testify before a congressional committee. And yeah, the Carters at TNA would be wise to institute their own policy.
