That Hamill fight was ridiculous and almost made me turn it off. Bisping mouthing off after was pathetic as well, considering he spent half of the right running for his life.

Week 1 should be fun, if the team that everyone is (probably) picking loses. What a disaster that would be.

I wish I could have gotten Bush, to go along with my Clinton/Gore backfield.

Black Sheep and White Sheep was an obvious bad choice. Come on Invader, people need to show some common sense when it comes to political campaigns. If they're concerned about criminals, show a guy wearing a balaclava getting kicked out, not a black sheep.

PFT is reporting that the Jags are going to cut or trade Byron Leftwich. That's just bizarre. The Vikings should jump all over Leftwich.

I like the Tampa jerseys. Very clean. Canucks new jerseys are out. Home jersey looks ok... But the away uniform, not so much. Having two different logos for home vs away is probably unique in the league.

I think you guys are overreacting here. It's clear Russell isn't going to start over McCown or Culpepper, especially now. The guy is just going to hold a clipboard this season, so signing him isn't some giant priority. May as well play hardball with his agents.

Well, with the original Jeff Hardy fued, it looked like Umaga was all heel. Then Hardy got himself suspended and they decided to try out Umaga as a face to fill up a match on Summerslam. Umaga wasn't getting the kind of face reaction they were hoping for, so they put him over at the PPV (ending whatever fued he had with Kennedy and Carlito) and have him beat up a returning Jeff to continue their original program.

Exactly how I feel about the movie. Seth was retarded, and the stuff with him wasn't very funny at all. McLovin and the cops were fun at least.

Speaking of logos, here's a fan made Canucks logo. It's every one of our crappy logos thrown onto one uniform. I think they should use it as an alternate.

Is Tajiri supposed to be some kind of Eugene/Mankind character in that promotion? Hard Gay is one of the funnier wrestlers I've seen. His entrance is pure brilliance.

I hate when people bring up realism with Madden. Madden doesn't have a realistic tackling system (I like those diving tackles when it looks like the ballcarrier bounces off an invisible wall), realistic physics (punts can land in the endzone and then bounce back to the 15 yard line!), or a realistic passing game. It's a fun game, but it's more arcade than sim. Besides, what's realistic about the player progression in Superstar? I had a 70 overall QB. By the end of his rookie season, he was a 95 or something ridiculous. I think Madden should incorporate a progression system that has a much slower rate of increase...even a great rookie QB is still going to be garbage compared to Manning or Brady. What position are you playing in Superstar? Playing as a linebacker or safety might be fun.

Or Randy Orton, or Batista, or Rey Mysterio. Strange that Batista and Orton aren't mentioned at all, even though they might both be champs fairly soon.

There's 12 people in league 2 right now...who's missing?

I'm also in. However, I won't be around on the 27th. Can we change the date, preferably to a non-Monday? Tuesday the 28th at the same time would work fine, for instance.

I dunno man, I googled Mario Logan, and came up with this. Kinda weird...

Is she related to Mole?

I guess Beech won't throw at a batter ever again. So what does everyone think of the whole "hitting a batter" aspect of baseball? I always thought it was kind of pathetic. In this specific case, it seems like Beech went after him because Offerman hit a HR earlier. Reminds me of how the Blue Jays were throwing at A-Rod a few weeks back. Yelling "mine" or slapping a glove is stupid, but throwing a pitch at the guy for revenge is just as bad if not worse.

So everyone who plays sports games usually tries to take advantage of bad AI. However, some games just do some weird stuff completely on it's own. I was playing a custom draft ESPN 2k5 franchise. In this mode, every player becomes part of a draft pool, and every team is basically rebuilt from the ground up. The Miami Dolphins had the 2nd pick, and took Tom Brady. Fast forward to a year later. The Dolphins missed the playoffs, and I notice that they traded Tom Brady to the Titans...for a guard. What?? First week of the season, Brady throws 4 TDs. Nice trade, Miami. The next week, the Chargers traded Mike Vick for Jamal Lewis, and Larry Fitzgerald for a tackle. They now have Marques Tuiasosopo starting at QB, and Rod Gardner/Dennis Northcutt starting at WR. Bluh? Anyways, anyone else see the computer make some insane and horrible trades?

Paul London! I liked how they spent a second with Vince staring him down. Vince walking up to Mark Henry at the end cracked me up. Having the kid be Mark Henry or Coachman could be kinda funny.

That's awesome Pegasus. Bravestar and his horse winking at each other before the horse busts out a shotgun blew my mind.

I've been in a tsm league for a few years now, may as well continue on.

It's fine, the guy explains the formulas used fairly extensively at the beginning of the article, and links to football outsiders which is full of detailed statistical analysis. Did you want a more detailed breakdown Vern?

Ken Kennedy McMahon, if he's acknowledged by Vince. KKK probably wouldn't work for obvious reasons.

He actually seems older than he is: Born Mar 26, 1969 We all think he's ancient because he was drafted in the 87 entry draft and has played ever since. 20 years...he's like a less talented Chris Chelios.
