Prophet of Mike Zagurski

And it would probably not breakdown as much. I have a Nintendo system that has lasted since 1985 and my Xbox almost died during the holidays.

My friends go to Azusa Pacific University (a Christian school) and they are pretty liberal there. Nearby Biola University is more conservative. 100 percent of their graduates go on to Heaven when they die.

I don't get sports economics completely. If there is a salary cap at whatever number, won't Detroit, Colorado, NYR, Toronto, etc. be hurt by this. Is there a luxury tax and what is that?

The NHL will have to rebuild its fan base just like baseball had to.

You can boycott Little Caesars pizza if you hate the Red Wings. You know the Union could agree completely with the owners and the owners would reject the offer and visa-versa. I am sure most of the owners wanted to kill the NHL since most of them were losing money. If you go on the NHLPA's website, Ed Belfour makes a cool 8 million, Jaromir Jagr makes 11 million, and etc. It was the owners' fault because they listened to the agents of these players.

Hey, screw the players. With the money I saved from not buying any tickets I can buy new roller hockey equipment. I can play hockey and watch people play a non-defensive, no shut out, fast paced game for free.

I could not think of a single person except for Mankind and only because he wrote it in his book. Is the Undertaker the most protected man in wrestling? Edit: Also. he put over Austin at Sumerslam '98

I have completed a full season in ESPN NHL 2K5 and it is buggy. Make sure you turn off injuries or lower injury slider because half way though the season your team and the CPU team will incomplete lines. The computer does not automatically adjust them and you have to adjust them if there are missing players. I started NFL 2K5, it is the most indepth season mode I have ever saw. You can assign players to different activities (weight training, watching game tape, etc.) Same thing with your coaches. Since I really don't know anything about football, I play exhibition games.

Jim Ross last Monday called Raw the flagship show therefore the World Title is more important.

It's easy when Chicago teams hardly make the post season now. (I do have hope for the Bulls though.)

Link to story Ex-World Wrestling Executive Convicted By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A former executive of World Wrestling Entertainment admitted Thursday that he accepted kickbacks in return for steering the licensing rights for several of the company's products. James Bell, 49, of Norwalk, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to mail fraud. Bell, the WWE's former senior vice president of licensing and merchandising, was released on $50,000 bond. He faces up to five years in prison and restitution of about $1.9 million to the company when he is sentenced on April 29. Federal sentencing guidelines, which are advisory, call for Bell to receive 30 to 37 months in prison. Prosecutors said Bell arranged for WWE's licensing agent, SS & Associates Inc., owned by Stanley Shenker, to receive commissions on licensing agreements to which SSAI was not entitled. Bell would then get kickbacks from Shenker's company under the scheme, which took place between 1998 and 2000. Bell declined to comment after the proceedings. Shenker has not been charged. His attorney, Andrew Bowman, declined to comment Thursday. Bell and SSAI also received a kickback from a licensee who made T-shirts, according to prosecutors. The Stamford-based WWE also is suing Bell in a federal lawsuit. The WWE contends Jakks Pacific Inc. and its subsidiaries made payoffs to win the licensing rights for the wrestling company's toys and games. Payments of at least $100,000 were made to a foreign bank account of Shenker, who allegedly split the money with Bell, according to the lawsuit. According to the suit, Bell and Shenker recommended the license be granted to Jakks during the 1990s. Two payments occurred during the selection process and a third payment was made after the video game license was awarded to Jakks, WWE said. Jakks, based in Malibu, Calif., has denied the allegations. Jakks has been WWE's toy licensee since 1995 and obtained the video game license in 1998. The licenses generate royalties of about $13 million, or about 3.5 percent of WWE's $375 million in annual revenue, officials said. WWE is seeking damages, but has not yet calculated the amount.

Once upon a time, there was a league that played hockey. It started with 6 teams and expanded to 30. There was a team coast to coast. From the Los Angeles Kings to the New York Rangers. From the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to the New Jersey Devils. The league and teams prospered for awhile but then it fizzled. New arenas were built but empty they were. The new owners did not want to invest money in something that would not make money. Who would? Was Jaromir Jagr really worth the 10 million? But it came down to two men. Gary Betteman and Robert Goodnow. Gary, the NHL's first commisioner, came from the NBA. Bob, the head of the union, came from Hell. Gary handed out teams like candy and moved them from Minnessota, Hartford, and Winnigpeg. Bob smiled. Gary had nothing to worry about as long as Gretzky, Roy, Lemieux, and Yzerman were around the people would watch. But they got old. Who is Paul Kariya and Martin St. Louis? The expansion worked, didn't it? Florida, Carolina, and Tampa Bay made it to the Finals. They went on strike in '94 and this should have foreshadowed today. Bob hates Gary. Gary is too stupid to hate anyone. How is this going to end? The NHL is dead and somewhere there will be a Canadian to start it all again. It all started with six. Maybe it should have stayed that way.

What about Jake 'The Snake" Roberts?

I thought she looked like that Lohan girl.

How can he have moveset if they are just going to treat him as a jobber?

Rock jobbing to Mark Henry.

It's a good idea but would Vince like to point out to everyone out there that these people are gone. Some of these guys died of drug/steroid abuse and Owen died in the ring and that is NOT an image a publically trade company would like to portray.

I liked it especially the parts with: Jack in the Box in the basement Middle Eastern couple CBS News report that kid's date

Royal Rumble did West Side Story and I don't see a problem with this.

Um the (Anaheim) Angels won the World Series about 3 seasons ago. Also, the Clippers are terrible because their owner will not put money into the team. I think if anyone is a football fan in LA, they could watch the Chargers play.

Isn't the battery life short on it because of the all the processing power on it? In the story above, Ken Kutaragi knew about this but did not want to change how the system looked. One of the first articles revealing the Xbox appeared in EGM, the developers said they were not going to change the controllers because they were too large. (Also they said they were gods too.) Well, what 2 years later and they made smaller controls for the US. Sony is going to have to change their attitude or I would not spend $300 (cause you have to buy a game) for a broken button.

Doesn't Paul owe RVD a lot of money? So, in a way, it makes sense for him not to wrestle. We need this PPV to be as authentic as possible. Oh and there better not be any money for any kind of sets or video screens. Watch the WWE mess this up.

Bischoff being the MC of the Billy/Chuck wedding. Benoit making HHH tap at Wrestlemania. There is something else I cannot think of...oh Most important: Dean Malenko (as Cyclope) winning the Cruiserweight Battle Royal and making Chris Jericho tap.

Are there any specific stories related to this? I think in Florida he punched a few fans harassing his family.

Sell popcorn.
