1. What's the actual difference between mediocre and bad? Why not great, above-average, average, below-average, bad? 2. The new Batista theme is indeed performed by Saliva.

Wait...Shane Douglas is promoting the indy show that's basically saying "Fuck The WWE, this is where the ECW stars will wrestle", yet the WWE has him working their show too? Anyone else see something wrong with this?

Fuck, Ben Wallace's three-point attempts looked like he was firing mortars.

I expected more votes for Maggette, Bosh, Redd and Pierce.

Based on last year's roster, only P.J. Brown survived the season unscathed. Magloire (82 games played last year, 23 this year) was out for nearly four months, and three of their starters from last season were gone before they could contribute this year (Davis, Wesley, Lynch, Armstrong to a smaller extent). It was a complete turn-over with Dickau, Nailon, Claxton and Smith - three unproven players and a rookie - taking those spots. It's a product of bad management over bad play.

It's also interesting that you can't just post the entire article, which was a waste of my time to read...

For a game that already happened, the womens' 1998 world soccer championship with U.S./China that ended in that famous shootout with Brandi Chastain clinching the game with that famous pose. I love soccer altogether (played it religously growing up), but had fallen out of love with the sport after the 1994 mens' Cup. This brought me back.

This should help you.

Any predictions for the Top 3? I have Hawks, Hornets, Bobcats.

Not really. It was changed in 1994 to the current system of 1,000 balls. From 1990-1993, it was 66 balls; the worst record had 11 balls, second worst 10 balls, and so on. In 1992, the Magic had 10 balls, although we can call their 1993 lottery "blind luck", since they had only one ball in that draw. The odds of the Magic winning the 1993 lottery were equivalent to the Knicks winning this year's lottery, which isn't a reach at all.

So, this is like the RAW the night after Survivor Series 2001, where the universe was restored and Vince turned heel again? On a side note, I vaguely remember that the 'Kiss My Ass Club' was started on that same night. Draw your own conclusions.

I can't wait for Tuesday.

NFL: Joe Jurevicius (met him at the Hula Bowl; class act) Ashley Lelie (representing Hawai'i) Aeneas Williams (a favorite from when the 49ers used to own the Cards in the early 90's) NBA: Doug Christie (for the altercation with Fox) Andre Iguodala (just an exciting player to watch) Christian Laettner (glad to see that he revived his career) MLB: Jerome Williams (same reasons as Lelie)

That's the thing - I've tried multiple cables, but with no success. The control panel recognizes that there is a network connection, but isn't recognizing the cables.

Well, this will be the last of my current computer, a HP 522C which has given me so many problems over the past two years. Upgrading to a computer that has the capability to handle three different applications will be a plus. Anyway, whenever I plug in my CAT5 cable, the PC doesn't recognize that the cable is connected. The tiny light near the "ethernet" plug doesn't begin blinking, so I don't know where the problem lies. At the "Network Connections" option, it still says "Network Cable Unplugged". What should I do? Any help is appreciated.

Happy birthday, DH.

But the guy knows his readership -- he was the one who came out a few months ago about the IWC bashing of Lita's ringwork. For over two years, he had a weekly commentary on a WWE-sponsored site, of which was routinely posted on *this* forum. He, along with a few other workers, are internet-savvy enough to know their target audiences and how he can control them. For example, Jericho "quitting" the Internet after KOTR 2002, or the Orton/Maven altercation outside a bar last year. To call this a "real-life tragedy" is bullshit. To say that Matt was naive enough to believe this story wouldn't go beyond his loyal fourteen year-old fangirls is bullshit, too. Matt has the right to dwell on this if he wants, but he's facing scorn and humiliation by publicly posting his feelings as if he owns a LiveJournal.

He injured himself midway through the match, which led to the knee surgery in December..

Screw the ratings - the revenue the company makes off of the diva videos gives them a reason to hold on to the entire female roster.

Yeah but they shut the rest of the team down. Nope. They shut down Kobe, but the blame is pointed at the shots Kobe was taking, not how Prince or Hamilton was guarding him. He would be taking 20-foot jumpers in double coverage and just miss horribly. Unless they put Tayshaun on Wade (obviously not), Wade will have the stats he wants. Billups is a questionable defender, which leaves Hamilton to guard Wade. Now, with Hamilton being pimped as the "best conditioned player" in the NBA, would Van Gundy put Wade on Hamilton on the defensive side? No. Hamilton has had struggles this year with his shooting, which is why you'll see Eddie Jones on him. Jones, despite losing a step over the past three years, is a superb defender (unlike any of the Laker guards), limiting Hamilton to the shots he wants to take. Hamilton will run circles around anyone on the Lakers OR Heat, but the Lakers didn't have a shred of defense to contain him...the Heat will. On the offensive side, Wade will take advantage of Hamilton's frustrations. Derek Fisher is not a scorer. Nor is Gary Payton, a hobbled Karl Malone, Medvedenko, Walton or George. Kobe needed to step up, and he didn't. THAT is why the Pistons won so handily against the Lakers. As for the Heat, Wade WILL step up. As I've stated, he has a easier matchup on offense than Kobe had with Prince and Hamilton. Damon Jones, thusly, will get his shots on Billups, while Tayshaun might be wasted in the early games against a roleplayer (Eddie or Dooling). The Pistons matched up PERFECTLY against the Lakers; this year's Heat? No dice. The series will depend on the adjustments Larry Brown makes to guard Wade. If they feel Prince should be up to it, then it's a different argument on how the Heat will do. But Brown has no reason to make a premature adjustment, because he has all the reason to believe Wade can be stopped by his guards. EDIT: This isn't taking into account the bench the Heat has. Laettner, Dooling and Mourning smoke the cheerleaders the Lakers had last year.

Last I checked, Jermaine O'Neal had a hard time posting up on Antoine Walker with his shoulder. Secondly, the Pistons are no different from the team last year who couldn't guard O'Neal in the Finals.

Well, the rematch with Trinidad is out of the question.

Considering they're the tag team champions?
