...so I need Fresno State, Boston College or Tulane (any two of the three) to win, or else. I'm looking at Fresno as a given, but BC has to win because I don't have any faith in Tulane.

Fuckfuckfuck.

If it's cool with you, Alf, I'd like a spot (if the teams end up being odd-numbered).

SOMETHING is up, because a appearance and a contract are in two totally different legal fields. My prediction is that he will be allowed to make the appearance as promised, but that's it at this point. Man, Inoki is really trying to stir up shit, isn't he? (in a money-grubbing, McMahon-esque kind of way)

Gammons and Reynolds put in good cases for Taveras a few weeks ago, putting him just a bit over Francoeur for the award. I haven't been following the Astros recently, but has he done anything to lose the 'lead'?

All you need to know about turf toe.

Keenan McCardell and Keyshawn Johnson, of all fucking people, were responsible for my loss this week. What is this, 1999?

TCU wins. It looks as if Ganther will finish with 48 yards on the night.

Go with Brees unless the Eagles update McNabb's situation REALLY soon (which they won't).

Utah UTEP Louisville West Virginia Vanderbilt Air Force Notre Dame (I really think that I'm going to be wrong on this pick, after witnessing MSU's thrashing of UH.) UCLA South Carolina Miami of Ohio Middle Tennessee State Wisconsin North Texas Fresno State Boston College Florida Miami Tulane Tiebreak: 51(averages, baby) /90

The lawyers are (paraphrasing) "taking care of it", and should be able to let Lesnar wrestle. Well, I guess that we'll have to wait for the results of that hearing that's coming up in a few days.

What was the rating for last year's first RAW v. MNF?

Well, Orton won with interference from his father.

With an interview with J.R. two weeks after he unmasked, it was explained that while everything did happen, the burns were now gone and the scars were now only psychological. It's a logical explanation to everything (example: in 1999, Kane "progressing" enough to use a voice box.) Correct, verified by Meltzer in various forums.

Explain. Please.

No, actually, he doesn't. Shawn takes so many breaks off during the year that Hunter works about a 2:1 ratio to Shawn.

Baker picked up the starting job in New York, and with the way Heimerdinger runs his offense, he'll see enough opportunities despite how Pennington feels. Then again, they could shut down Chad any week now based on how his arm looked yesterday.

Anyone want to give me a recap on who's left (just observing)?

Good point. Hmm, I guess they're either going to move Kennedy up to Titan full-time, or going to have to acknowledge Puder's release (the two are allies in OVW).

$750 a week is still a $36K annual contract, which is alot when you're not touring all over the country and paying menial expenses (rental car, hotel room, etc). As for the TE contract, everything was up front. When the participants signed, they knew only the first year was guaranteed. I highly doubt that the contract was fraudulent; I'd guess that the contract was heavily back-ended so that he'd have to impress them to get to that fourth year and get the entire million. The only reason I'm not complaining about that is because it's done all the time in the NFL.

Did anyone post the newsbit about Michael Brown being removed as head of FEMA?
