I had four million to spare, with no wiggle room in either direction, so I'm selecting Big Show. Please, give me a one-night reign.

You're crazy if you don't start Rudi against the Pack tomorrow. I don't know how the Packers will be able to hold onto the ball for more than the required four downs.

Nothing, and you can use your own mp3's. Purchasing music from the iTunes store simply gets it at a higher lossless quality.

Yeah, there was a good chance that the Bulls were going to acquire Nene dating back to last season. This season, though, I don't know what the Bulls would have to do to get him, with the lack of trade parts they have (Piatkowski, maybe? Harrington? Pargo?)

The budget for Cena's The Marine and Kane's film was set at $20 million total. Meltzer didn't report anything more specific about each film.

It's a fake listing - the rumor was debunked on DVDVR, I believe. Neither of the movies are going to be direct-to-video/television. EDIT: I meant that they are both going to be promoted as feature films.

iTunes is the program. I've used the program for years (both Mac and PC) before I picked up an iPod, and it has the easiest interface of all music programs that I've used. The reviews speak for itself. To upload music to an iPod, you use iTunes to send the music over. As long as your songs are on the iTunes playlist (which is easy as clicking "Add file to library"), then the song is able to be transferred over. This whole uploading process takes seconds, even for a few hundred songs. All that's stopping you from this quick method is your level of anal retentiveness about how the songs show up on your iPod (wrong artist names, no artist names), which is simple as renaming the playlist screen, not the files itself. Napster files may be copy-protected and unable to be used on iPods. The same goes with Rhapsody files (this one I know for sure). The iTunes Music Store allows you to purchase any songs too, but the files are limited to five (5) authorized computers ("authorized" means that your account information is stored on that specific computer) and any iPods that will be used with those computers. EDIT: As for I'd suggest you pick up, make it an iPod, based on your tastes (video/photo support) and the amount of music you may have.

Anyone else watching the Tech/BC game? I've been watching it since the beginning; it's been very entertaining so far. The Tech fullback just did a sick hurdle over a BC corner to get to a first down.

Frankly, Wally doesn't have a choice this year. Either he can put in a career year, or he's going to be exposed with no new contract to show for it. He's their sole #2 scorer, so he should have no excuses or complaints. The same goes for Olowokandi - he's playing for his career here, because I don't see how he holds up after this season if he's not locked in to a long-term contract. All I'm saying is that the Wolves are an average team that will overachieve this year. With the factors involved, I expect them to win at least 35 games. My corrected standings; West 1. San Antonio* 2. Denver* 3. Sacramento* 4. Houston 5. Dallas 6. Golden State 7. Phoenix 8. Seattle East 1. Detroit* 2. Miami* 3. New Jersey* 4. Indiana 5. Chicago 6. Philadelphia 7. Cleveland 8. Orlando

Too bad that this year, it IS a lack of talent. True, but he's got a huge opportunity this year to earn a fat contract from someone who's willing to overpay. He will play over his head this year, especially being the #2 scoring option now with Spreewell out of the picture. But in a contract year; the last contract year he had resulted in a career year. He can put together 10 and 10, though his knees are the only question mark now. Over the last week, he's said he's completely healthy. Cassell being gone is also a good thing. Don't forget MARKO~

Me, but I wish I had been old enough to appreciate it, though. You don't really understand the impact and how tough it is to win it all when you're 9 and 10. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Amen to that. It's going to be *really* sweet this time around when the Braves win it.

Honestly, do we need a security guard for the car? Would someone actually attempt to steal that thing? It's not as if anyone from Houston could fit into the damn seat.

Jermaine Dye as World Series MVP. The earth has stopped in its rotation.

Yeah, Joe, they're no longer "the second team from the second city". That's fucking ridiculous, Buck.

What kind of umpire motion was that?

OMG BRET HART OMG!

The argument above yours was to what Rhyno hasn't done in TNA to be considered a threat. If a casual fan turned on Impact, even on their debut show, there's nothing that warrants Rhyno any consideration of being a real threat. Therefore, you're going to rely on his ECW work (which was four years ago) or his WWE work, which was absolutely terrible following his return from neck surgery.

The Astros hitting coach.

McCarver on Backe, who's pacing around in the dugout hoping the Astros keep the Sox from scoring: "When you're out there, you can do something about it - when you're in the dugout, you can't." ...

His KNEE opened up a divot?

One Iverson injury? He plays an entire season with ten different injuries. The Sixers are a playoff team, no doubt. Iguodala and Korver both made significant contributions last year, with both expected to improve this year. The problem areas with the team is the frontcourt, but Salmons will probably do no worse than Webber when he expectedly steps into the starting lineup by January. Dalembert is a toss-up as to what he could do, but let's say he produces equal statistics to last season, which at least doesn't leave the center position as a liability to Philly. I predict a six or seven seed for the 76ers, at their best or worst. As for Chicago, they don't have to improve this year. They were a 4 seed last year, which is a bit of an overachievement for a young team. Still, I don't see why people don't buy them as a solid playoff team. The Curry trade was a wash that sets the Bulls up for the upcoming offseason(s). There's nothing about Curry's departure that hurts their team, because the points can and will come from somewhere else, opening up a position for a guy like Sweetney who CAN rebound. Second-chance opportunities was their weakness for the entire 2004-2005 season, simply because they couldn't get any. The team defense is one of the best in the league, too. They have a deep bench that they can go to, unlike some of the teams above them and all of the teams below them on the conference totem pole. Cleveland may inherit the Wizards' spot, because the Wizards sure as hell won't be there. Orlando has a favorable division and a monster in Dwight Howard. But, who do they bump to get into the playoffs? Boston is an equally talented team, as well. If everyone stays relatively healthy, my playoff seeding: 1. Detroit 2. Indiana 3. Miami 4. New Jersey 5. Chicago 6. Philadelphia 7. Cleveland 8. Boston/Washington/Orlando

With Restless, yes.

To close out my team, the ultimate doorstop... Michael Olowokandi.

Never had an Xbox. I was using my housemates' consoles, which we had two of.
