I hope he shows up on Smackdown. That would be classic.

The Horton deal is awesome. He's going to be a star, locking him down for around 4 million a year will be a bargain. Smart move by the Panthers.

For the $$$ he got, it isn't worth it. Timmonen is old too, his contract is crazy. I don't get it.

Pat Quinn! Pat Quinn! Then they can sign Gary Roberts like the owner wanted. Then on draft day, reveal their new blue uniforms. It will be awesome.

Wasn't that the plot of a Playmakers episode?

Why would they want to blow up the front office, they just made the Cup Finals?

Who the hell decided to give Steve Francis 15 million a year? How does that happen? NBA salaries are just broken.

That article is classic: One fan, dressed in a retro powder blue sports jacket with the old World Wrestling Federation logo that was once the Chairman’s trademark, was too overcome with grief to talk. His shoulders shook and lips quivered before he buried his face in his hands. He had to be held by his two friends that were at his side. “He used to practice the Chairman’s strut and swagger,†one friend said. “He’s barely eaten since seeing the explosion. But he insisted on coming here and paying his respects.†As per the Texas chap, it's all in the writer's mind. Whoever the writer is, he's hilarious. These all read like Onion articles.

Bringing in Ventura as the investigator could work too. Have him interrogate people backstage or whatever, and then have him reveal his findings on PPV.

Yeah, kudos for putting his job on the line to make us smarks happy. Because he certainly could never get a job wrestling elsewhere, where he won't be in what could easily be the worst possible thing to be in sports entertainment; a cruiserweight tag team. It was a gutsy thing to do. Not everybody would've done it and he did. I appreciate that. Plus you have to admit it was hilarious. Was it gutsy though? I thought the talent didn't know what was going to happen. So maybe the Paul London character would be happy that McMahon was leaving, instead of creepishly somber like the rest.

Might be because Scott Keith made the same joke on his blog.

I hope everyone wears black "VKM" armbands next Monday. Maybe Coach can get into a match where he ends up screaming VINCE every 5 minutes.

I read somewhere that the characters in the diner were symbolic. The "Member's Only" guy represented New York, the "USA cap" guy was the feds. Tony is always going to have the other families and the feds after him to some degree, so he has to watch out (even during some random dinner with his family).

Detroit already has their supposed QB of the future in Stanton, and a guy who mentored Carson Palmer into a successful QB with Kitna. QB isn't really the problem with Detroit, they have more pressing concerns with: *Defense - They were one of the worst units last year (30th by defensive DVOA). Their pass defense and rush defense both ranked at the bottom of the league, and they lost their only playmaker in the secondary with Dre Bly leaving. *Rushing - They ranked last in the league in rushing by DVOA, plus Kevin Jones has a Lisfranc injury and is probably hobbled for this season. Their rushing game was pretty bad even with Jones, though this was probably a combination of the Martz offense not relying on runs (more short passes to Jones) and.... *O-Line - Their line was a disaster last year. Put Culpepper (who is now immobile and always loved to fumble in Minnesota) behind that line and he'll get murdered to death. Vick might be alright here, since he can scramble and the receivers should be good enough to adjust to his inaccurate passes. But Culpepper, not really.

Expansion would be a disaster. I guess they're planning on four divisions in each conference. Something like North - Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Minnesota South - Dallas, LA, Anaheim, San Jose Central - Colorado, Vegas, Phoenix, Nashville Not-East - Detroit, Columbus, Chicago, St Louis I know this is garbage, but no matter how it's stacked up it'll be bizarro. What are they thinking?

That breakdancing video is gold. Gold. And now people are putting the fat street fighter kid into

Winnipeg won't get corporate support, and their arena isn't built properly to maximize revenue (it has about half the luxury boxes that GM Place has).

I'm this close to no longer posting here because of shitheads like you. Go to hell and fuck yourself. God, talk about an overreaction. Calm down dude, it's just a message board.

So all they did was stare at each other "for a moment"? What a weird non-confrontation.

She already got banned guys, you're arguing with no one. The original Ottawa Senators won the Cup 4 times. Do they have banners up for those four teams?

I hope they start a "Spoiler: Cena loses" chant during Raw or something. I could see the Toronto crowd doing that.

If a new NHL team can't succeed in the most populous area of Canada, it's not going to succeed anywhere. Besides, it's less about people becoming fans and more about corporate support, and a lot of businesses in southern Ontario could get behind a new team. Can't say the same for Winnipeg. Edit: Plus, the new owner is the CEO of one of the more successful corps in Ontario. RIM will probably throw a bunch of money at a new Ontario team, which is a huge boost right there. They won't do the same if the team is located in Kansas City or Winnipeg.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of him weeping in an Irish bar with his pals Oil Stain and Biff because he deluded himself into thinking the Celtics had automatically won the first pick despite less than a 25% chance, and acting like the 5th pick in a loaded draft is the end of basketball in Boston. It's bad writing. I thought it was hilarious. I've grown to hate every team that man cheers for, so I really enjoy it when one of his teams is in the shitter. And this year has been great...the Patriots lose to Manning, the Celtics implode, whatever college he went to lost in the first round of the NCAA tourney, his wife beat him at making NFL picks, and now the Celtics lose out on Durant. Now the Red Sox just need to lose to Clemons in a game 7 to make this year perfect.

Awww fuck. This really sucks. No!! He was doing well for my fantasy team. This sucks.

Message board toughness = not telling someone off at work?
