Good. I like the Coach. He's a breath of fresh air. Not a show-stealer or anything, but still.

I live about five minutes from my 9-to-5, so I always just head home. I work at Wal*mart on the weekends and usually one/two weeknites as well. The McDonald's, as well as the Pantry section and the No Frills next door usually means trouble, especially on the weekend when my lunch is an hour. I'm trying to buck that trend. I've actually got a delicious stir fry going (on the bbq) nowfor tomorrow night.

What's the deal there, by the way? Rucinsky, Sanderson and Carter were all supposed to fit perfectly with the Brothers Sedin. What's the missing ingredient?

but she doesn't favor her husband...he get's no special treatment...none whatsoever... OMG, I didn't even realise that. My first instinct was that Steph was just an idiot.

Vancouver gets Bulis for a song, 1.2 mil, one year.

It was actually before he made the putt. The fan screamed out NOONAN! as Dimarco lined it up. Anywhere else, it would have been fine for Dimarco to give security the "get him out" thumb jerk. But Saturday at Phoenix? All bets are off. DiMarco overreacted. On the other hand, I think he's earned his way back into the good section of most golf fans after a few close calls in majors and superb play at the President's two years ago. What did Landis do on Sunday? I'm not going to say "Did he just win the TDF?" But what makes this one bigger than another win?

He was the consensus choice last time. Learn More

Well the multi-returns of Hogan does strange things to people. I don't think anyone likes Orton, but for one the entire storyline here is so contrived that I think people might just want Orton to win because it would screw things up. I would actually laugh if people ended up cheering for Orton in this feud by match-time, because lets face it, more wrestling fans probably relate to being the boyfriend chasing the untouchable chick, rather then relating to being a father trying to protect his daughter. I like Orton. There. I said it. Since my bluff is about to be called...I genuniely don't hate him, and my dislike for Hogan knocks Orton up one. I'm wondering how HBK will manage to somehow spike the drinks of both McMahons, sending them both home...or something. I'm just intrigued, as to how they'll keep DX heat and hurt the McMahons simultaneously, with the majority of them being off-camera. For god's sake, more Umaga/AAE tonight.

Exactly. Brooke's gotten plenty of publicity over this already, including a music video aired on a big 4 station in primetime. Hogan does not have to get up and work for Vince the day after Summerslam. Let alone the fact Orton is more than likely the future of the company. (After all, his "punishment" did result in a move to the bigger show and a win over Angle.) Want Brooke to get publicity? Have her turn on Hulk at SS. I realise Hulk wouldn't have it in a million years, but with all the mainstream media that will likely be at SS over this, THAT would get people talking.

Delayed double post.

See above.

Cheap Blu Ray? How much do they usually go for, with the 500-600 forecasted PS3 price? By the way, a customer today kept asking me if each DVD he wanted was 5.1 Dolby. He proceeded to tell me that he just spent 9000 on a new home theatre....then asked me what a DVD was.

I don't think I'd have minded Klee. He's a good defensive D-man and can kill penalties. We're going to need someone to fill that role (Streit, maybe Bouillon) since Montreal has begun to over-do it's need from two years ago for a PP quaterback. That being said, get one more forward like Bulis provided he doesn't resign. As much as I like Samsonov, I'd like one more sniper for peace of mind, mostly on the grounds that just about everyone on the Habs had a career year last year.

Ummm, are you asking if there is a difference between HD ready and a TV that is HD? Because the way you worded that doesn't make much sense. A upconverting DVD player that records DVDs. http://www.nextag.com/Samsung-DVD-R135-Hi-...053/prices-html That is a good one. Or just get an Oppohere. My bad. If I hook up a HDMI to an HD Ready DVD TV, will there be any difference from hooking it up to an HDTV?

The Score and TSN both report that the Sabres are likely going to agree to Briere, then attempt to trade him, with the Habs and Kings being prime contenders.

I wonder if I can play a prejudice card by pointing out that there's no Mountie action figure.

I remember a Black Knight, but a White one escapes me.

That's the best fucking observation I've heard in a while. Well done, sir.

...That's not true... Yes it is. "You are on Death Row." Ah. I thought you were going for the "you're last meal." My bad. I made the same mistake. My additional bad. A few guys I work with and I just did a satirical look at Wal*mart life, in which my loyalty is caricaturized to the point where my last meal is all Great Value products. In actuality: If it's summer, Southern-fried chicken and potato salad. Winter, mom's shepherd pie with a side of chili. Lots of beer to top it off.

Incidentally, anyone see the Legends Series that includes a replica ticket from each Wrestlemania that you can collect all of, to redeem for a "Never Before Released" figure? Anyone know whom?

I still haven't quite figured out what a Ham N Egger is. Well-known/memorable jobber? If yes, I'm saying, Hole-in-One Barry Darsow.

I'm back in. I missed the playoffs last year. Packers needed to lose by less than 20. They didn't. Grr.

See that's what I didn't quite get. Admittedly, we get no product training, so the majority of my research comes from here and what not. But nearly everyone I spoke with said that HDMI wasn't true HD. But if it's hooked up to an HD TV, isnt it semantics? Come to think of it, if I use an HDMI player with an HD Ready, as opposed to an HD, is there a difference?

Our buyers in the Wal*Mart Electronics I work at are really going after players/home theatres with HDMI. I realise it's not true HD, but aren't ifs and buts candy and nuts? Re: the PS3/BluRay connection: A lot of it seems like a "take that" to Microsoft, who really hpyed up that so many games on the 360 were 720/1080 compatible, came with component cables, etc. Since what, 1 in 10 people, have HDTV's, aren't they both jumping the gun a bit?

So Eddy's done now, right? He's gotta be, eh? Not that I'm, celebrating it, but come on. Pack it up, Eagle.
