So which one of these three clowns is Donaghy 2008? Pierce pulls Kobe's jersey or slaps him across the wrist and it's a play on situation. Pierce grenade dives and it's a foul the other way. Fuck the NBA.

Billy Wagner is the king of clutch.

I'll see you Mets fans next season. At least it'll be a new location for the same old shit as last year.

I wanted to mention that some of the teams on the first page don't have the members listed which makes things a little bit harder when there's already been close to 150 picks. For example, I sort of remembered seeing Sid Vicious' picture in the thread but when I tried to find his name it didn't show up because he was selected as part of The Skyscrapers. Having said that, I don't think this guy was picked and even though I'm not sure how well he'd fit in with my promotion I think Antonio Inoki's a big enough star to take a shot at drafting here.

Oliver Perez now leads the league in walks and hit batters. All he needs is to start throwing some more wild pitches so he can claim his own version of the Triple Crown.

Cedric Benson got arrested for drunken driving just about a month after that other arrest. What a moron.

I just read about this on Sportsline and in that article it said that ABC estimated that he travelled some 4.5 million miles covering sports. That's just an amazing statistic to me, and I too remember McKay as one of the few voices of my childhood that didn't cover the local teams.

It's about to be 1 PM my time, and it's now 91 degrees, with hazy, hot and humid conditions (ugh). Just 12 hours ago it was somewhere between 58-62 and breezy. It should be around 77 at this time of year and when it gets up to the expected 95 it'll be the hottest day in NYC since August 2006.

Mazto never sent me a PM letting me know that he picked and it was my turn. Sorry about that. With my last pick I'm adding a sniper who can get me a late three if I need it. Dell Curry NBA 6th Man of the Year (1994) .402 career 3P FG%

It amazes me that Evander Holyfield could be broke now considering he's been fighting as a pro since the end of WWII. On one hand you want to feel bad for these athletes who squander their fortunes, but on the other hand how fucking retarded do you have to be to be broke when you've made in excess of $150 million in your lifetime?

Who was the nose guy? I also remember that a lot of people thought D-Wade was a pussy when that happpened. I remember him getting ripped on all of the ESPN shows and vaguely recall some guy saying his wife going into labor had less histrionics involved than Wade's shoulder injury.

The crying and wheelchair ride made it look like he was a pussy when he came back less than 5 minutes later. It was very soccerish when the guy dives and clutches his knee like he's holding the ligaments together himself, does a stretcher job and is up and running 2 minutes later. If your knee "pops" you're done for the night. When David Ortiz felt a pop in his wrist the other day he's out for at least a month and possibly half a season. When Paul Pierce feels a pop in his knee of all things, he's out for 3 or 4 minutes. I'm almost willing to bet he won't even have a limp by Sunday's tip. I know that you won't see it otherwise but a LOT of people are wondering what the deal was there and I'm sure God and his angels had nothing to do with his miraculous and/or instantaneous recovery from what appeared to be a season ending injury.

I would have wanted Austin but picking at # 12 there was no chance of me getting him. My only possible regret was deciding that a huge babyface was more important than picking a more versatile guy which led to me taking Sting first instead of Eddie Guerrero, but aside from that I've pretty much picked everyone that I wanted albeit at different rounds than I might have drawn up. I think Benoit, JJ and Windham were steals for me so I'm happy with the way the first 8 rounds have gone.

All I'm saying is that he acted like his knee got Carson Palmer'd and 5 minutes later he's hopping up and down while making his heroic Willis Reed inspired entrance. Either he's "soft" when it comes to pain the moment it happens or he really wasn't that hurt in the first place and oversold how much he was hurting. If guys on the local sports stations are calling attention to it when we have no horse in the race I think it's safe to say that a lot of people share the sentiment that it was a whole lot of commotion for what amounted to something he could easily play through.

Shitweis blows another game for the Mets with 3 walks and a HBP to drive in the winning run. That's the anti-perfect inning.

The game sucked for the most part, but I thought Pierce had blown out his ACL or hyperextended his knee with the way he was crying and had to be carried off the court and put in a wheelchair like his lower leg was no longer connected or that he was going to be out for the start of next season. Needless to say him coming back 5 minutes later was almost as pathetic as the Lakers' jumpshots tonight. I just don't see how a guy that big has such a low pain threshold since he did something very similar in the Cavs game where he was bumped at the end of the first half I think.

Fear the pornstache. That's a blueprint game of why I never take the Blue Jays seriously. Melky gifted them FIVE runs. Barajas dropped two perfectly thrown balls at home that cost his team two outs and at least two runs since I can't remember if the Yankees scored after those plays. The cherry on top is Blow Job Ryan choking away a two run lead in the 9th by giving up a homer to a gimpy Giambi with two strikes. The more things change . . .

Melky Cabrera dropping a gimme double play ball has now cost the Yankees 5 runs and Wang is out in less than 5 innings. That bullpen is getting abused this week.

I like that selection, but totally forgot about their existence until just now which is funny because I was looking up and down the TNA roster before making my last couple of picks.

This guy is either overrated or underrated depending on which promotion he was working for and whether he was involved in the booking, but I think he can work with pretty much anybody in my upper midcard and I don't think he'll be here by the next time I pick. My selection is Jeff Jarrett circa the last days of WCW and the early days of TNA.

Joba might just throw his 70 pitches in this first inning

I thought about potentially taking either guy as a singles wrestler eventually, but I think the need for a face tag team that is nothing like the ones I already have is greater, so I'm going to go with the APA/Acolytes. I also thought about possibly taking JBL here and hoping Simmons would fall to my next pick so I could take him as part of Doom but I don't need three heel tag teams and only the chance to get one face tandem in the rest of the draft.

You can never have too much scoring off of the bench. Walter Davis NBA Rookie of the Year (1978) 6x NBA All-Star (1978-1981, 1984 & 1987) 19,521 points scored Career averages of 18.9 PPG, 3 RPG & 3.8 APG with a .511 FG% and .851 FT % with peaks of 24.2/6/3.4 and 1.4 SPG in his rookie season

I can't find a good dangling belt pic which sucks, but this is the team that I really wanted here so I'm going to take Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro to set up a nice little tag team scenario with Edge & Christian.

Yeah, I just wanted to know if I had the option of using Edge and Christian as singles workers or if they had to be a tag team. I was content with the pick either way so I figured I would just ask because I (would like to) think other people probably had a similar idea and this way we wouldn't all have had to PM to get the response.
