Before I do this, know that nostagia is the biggest factor for me in determining my choices. Toad the Wet Bracket Veruca Salt- "Seether" Salt-N-Pepa- "Whatta Man" Just for the sheer nostalgia factor. Plus they performed it at Wrestlemania. Backstreet Boys- "I Want It That Way" Beck- "Loser" I don't mind "Loser" but "I Want it That Way" just screams 6th grade for me. Paula Cole- "I Don't Want To Wait" Montell Jordan- "This Is How We Do It" It was in The Nutty Professor. It can't lose. Everything But The Girl- "Missing" Goo Goo Dolls- "Iris" A staple of 90's alternative radio. Although now I fucking hate the song. Hanson- "Mmmbop" The Breeders- "Cannonball" No brainer. Chris Isaak- "Wicked Game" Snoop Doggy Dogg- "Gin and Juice" Had "Doggystyle" on cassett. I was clueless as to what he was talking about, but I was in 3rd grade and wanted to look cool. Jewel- "Who Will Save Your Soul" Kris Kross- "Jump" Never wore my jeans backwards, but this song gets the nod. Eve 6- "Inside Out" Deee-Lite- "Groove Is In The Heart" I had their debut album and this song is pretty much the only reason why. I honestly tried enjoying some of the other songs on the CD, but it wasn't happening. Sarah McLachlan- "Building a Mystery" Jamiroquai- "Virtual Insanity" Kind of a hard choice considering neither song sparks childhood memories, but "I Will Remember You" does, so therefore, Sarah wins. Warren G. (feat. Nate Dogg)- "Regulate" Ricky Martin- "Livin La Vida Loca" The first time I heard this, I actually didn't care for it. Nate Dogg's voice grew on me. Sixpence None The Richer- "Kiss Me" Notorious B.I.G. (feat. Puff Daddy and Mace)- "Mo Money Mo Problems" Just based on memories of hearing it on my mom's adult contemporary music stations. Christina Aguilera- "Genie In A Bottle" L.L. Cool J- "Mama Said Knock You Out" Tough choice. I'll go with "Mama Said Knock You Out" because it was used on Keenan and Kel as Kel's entrance music for the bagging competition. Boyz II Men- "End Of The Road" Fiona Apple- "Criminal" Easy choice. Toni Braxton- "You Mean The World To Me" Weezer- "Buddy Holly" Easy. It's hard to believe The Blue Album came out when I was in Kindergarten. Mariah Carey- "Dreamlover" U2- "One" Not U2's biggest fan, but this is a great song. 'N Sync- "Tearin' Up My Heart" Jay Z- "Can I Get A..." I really hate that these two songs are matched up together but Ja Rule and Lil Kim were in the later, so it loses points. Give Me One Region To Stay Here Nirvana- "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana- "Heart Shaped Box" Both are good songs. I mean Diamond Dallas Page did use an altered instrumental version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" but Heart Shaped Box is the better song in my opinion. Blink 182- "Dammit" Blink 182- "All The Small Things" When "Enema of the State" came out, I traded a classmate of mine a Mewtwo Pokemon card for the CD. I wasn't too disappointed and I don't think these guys are as insufferable as many people do. Blur- "Song 2" Blur- "Girls and Boys" I think both songs are pretty stupid, but "Song 2" gets the nod for obvious reasons. Stone Temple Pilots- "Plush" Stone Temple Pilots- "Interstate Love Song" Both songs are decent at best, to me anyway. "Plush" gets the nod because one of my buddies was obsessed with grunge and post grunge shit, and this was alway playing when I went over to his place. Smashing Pumpkins- "Today" Smashing Pumpkins- "1979" Great song, music video makes no sense. Seal- "Crazy" Seal- "Kiss From A Rose" Other than Seal's cover of "Fly like an Eagle" which in retrospect makes Space Jam even more corny, I'm not very familar with his other songs. I'll choose "Crazy" for totally arbitrary reasons. The Cranberries- "Dreams" The Cranberries- "Linger" I like both of these songs, but "Linger" brings back more memories. No Doubt- "Spiderwebs" No Doubt- "Don't Speak" This was the first music video I ever saw. By virtue of that title, "Don't Speak" has to win. Alanis Morissette- "You Oughta Know" Alanis Morissette- "Ironic" Whenever I picture Alanis Morissette, I picture domestic violence and a very pissed off woman filled with angst and hatred towards men. "You Oughta Know" is the angrier female anthem. Green Day- "Basket Case" Green Day- "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" "Good Riddance" got very annoying by the time every single High School graduation had that or Vitamin C's "Graduation (Friends Forever)" for their song. Dookie was a great album and this was one of my favorite songs. Oasis- "Wonderwall" Oasis- "Champagne Supernova" "Champagne Supernova" is easily in my top 5 90's songs. R.E.M.- "Losing My Religion" R.E.M.- "Everybody Hurts" I like both songs, but "Everybody Hurts" is just so depressing and drenched with Michael Stipe's melancholy. Chumbawumba- "Tubthumping" Meredith Brooks- "Bitch" Both songs irritated the fuck out of me. "Bitch" gets the nod because it gave kids an excuse to swear. Tom Cochrane- "Life Is A Highway" Bush- "Glycerine" I convinced my mom to order me the "Living in the 90's" cassettes off of TV. This song was on it, so it wins by default. Toad the Wet Sprocket- "All I Want" Third Eye Blind- "Semi-Charmed Life" A staple of 90's music. If you're around my age and grew up in the 90's, then there isn't any way you can't vote for this song. Black Crowes- "Jealous Again" Blind Melon- "No Rain" Their only song that I know was a pretty good one. 2 Legit Bracket Aerosmith- "Cryin'" TLC- "Waterfalls" Great song. Another staple of 90's radio. En Vogue- "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" Soundgarden- "Black Hole Sun" I really don't like either song to be honest, but "Black Hole Sun" is one of those songs I can't bring myself to even remotely like. MC Hammer- "U Can't Touch This" Vanilla Ice- "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice was in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, but not this song. Both songs sampled other, better songs, but at least MC Hammer could dance. Skee-Lo- "I Wish" Spacehog- "In The Meantime" One of those awesomely bad songs. Salt-N-Pepa- "Shoop" Naughty By Nature- "O.P.P." Yeah you know me. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince- "Summertime" The Verve Pipe- "The Freshmen" Not really a contest. I never understood the meaning behind "The Freshmen" as a kid. I didn't know what abortion was. Britney Spears- "...Baby One More Time" 2Pac- "California Love" Hard choice. I didn't actually enjoy "California Love" until I was older and "Baby One More Time" reminds me of those confusing times when girls were starting to become less gross, and more appealing. Spice Girls- "Wannabe" The Fugees- "Killing Me Softly With His Song" I impressed my friend's older sister and her friends by naming this song when it came on the radio. I was like 9 at the time, they were 16-17. Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg)- "Nuthin But A G Thang" Bryan Adams- "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" Both songs are good choices, but Bryan Adams was always playing on my mom's adult contemporary radio stations. Reminds me of grocery shopping, then the toy store afterwards Barenaked Ladies- "One Week" The Verve- "Bittersweet Symphony" At one point, I successfully sang "One Week" without screwing up any of the lyrics. I was so proud of myself. My mom thought I was seizing or something. Better Than Ezra- "Good" Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" Music video was fucking awesome. For Christmas one year, I got a Talkboy, which was that recorder thing from "Home Alone" I put it next to the radio when this song came on and it enjoyed significant playtime until I recorded a scene from "Dumb and Dumber" over it. The Cardigans- "Lovefool" Spin Doctors- "Two Princes" Easy choice. Tracy Chapman- "Give Me One Reason" Offspring- "Self Esteem" Another arbitrary choice. Eagle-Eye Cherry- "Save Tonight" Soul Asylum- "Runaway Train" Their only song ever. Well, maybe not, but I can't list another one. Mark Cohn- "Walking In Memphis" Semisonic- "Closing Time" Nostalgia wins again. Collective Soul- "Shine" Red Hot Chili Peppers- "Under The Bridge" Both songs are good. Not my favorite Chili Peppers song, but a good one nonetheless. Damn! I Wish I Was Your Bracket Counting Crows- "Mr. Jones" Radiohead- "Creep" Even as a big Radiohead fan, I don't mind this song. Outkast- "Rosa Parks" Presidents of the United States of America- "Lump" Any Presidents of the United States of America song not named "Peaches" doesn't belong on this list. Cracker- "Low" Pearl Jam- "Evenflow" Another staple of my grunge obsessed friend. Sheryl Crow- "All I Wanna Do" New Radicals- "You Get What You Give" I really don't like this song, but I had to pick one. Pras (ft. Maya & ODB)- "Ghetto Superstar" Joan Osborne- "One Of Us" Another staple of 90's pop radio. Sinead O'Connor- "Nothing Compares 2 U" Dishwalla- "Counting Blue Cars" Easy choice for me. The Divinyls- "I Touch Myself" Nada Surf- "Popular" At the time, "Popular" was popular. When I listen to the song in retrospect, it sounds like shit. Marcy Playground- "Sex and Candy" Faith No More- "Epic" Easy choice. Extreme- "More Than Words" Guns N Roses- "November Rain" Although "More Than Words" is one of those cheesy songs that I like way more than I'm comfortable admitting, November Rain was just fucking awesome. Arrested Development- "Tennessee" Lisa Loeb- "Stay (I Missed You)" Yet another staple of my mom's contemporary music. Everclear- "Santa Monica" Hootie and the Blowfish- "I Only Wanna Be With You" Cracked Rear View was a great fucking album. The music video was fun, and plus it had fucking Dan Marino. Harvey Danger- "Flagpole Sitta" Ben Folds Five- "Brick" Contrary to those true Ben Folds Five fans, I like "Brick" a lot. Fastball- "The Way" Garbage- "Only Happy When It Rains" I saw Garbage on for the first time on Beavis and Butthead and I didn't get them. Gin Blossoms- "Hey Jealousy" Juvenile- "Back That Azz Up" It just sounds so 90's. Foo Fighters- "Everlong" 4 Non Blondes- "What's Up" Great song.

I said this before that I don't really think the movie looks that bad. It isn't anything I'd go out of my way to see, but it seems like a safe movie. John Cena sitcks to his action/hero role and doesn't doesn't try to do something he can't pull off. Seems to have a decent supporting cast, and for a WWE movie, looks passable.

Is MVP a solidified face now?

I have a feeling the fans were expecting a lot more out of that...like Austin. Especially after Flair brought out the legends.

Edit: ___

That was the first time I saw that segment. It wouldn't be as bad if the actress playing Orton's wife didn't make the screams sound so forced.

Oh shit, FTW.

The link I provided has every episode accessible. Usually the official sites only have the most recent ones.

If you missed it... http://www.southparkzone.com The absolute best part for me is when Mickey beats the shit out of one of the Jonas brothers. The fact that he laughs after every sentence makes it that much more hilarious.

Smarch Madness

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true This is an article on NFL.com talking about the Cutler situation. One of the more humorous, albeit retarded things I read is this: "If you can fire a Mike Shanahan, you can trade a kid like that," an NFL source said. "Everyone is disposable in this league. And (Cutler's) a guy who hasn't proven a thing yet. He's had some great statistics, but he hasn't won a thing yet. And Matt Cassel has proven something? He's won something that Cutler hasn't? I give Cassel credit for stepping up when given his opportunity, but the recievers and offensive line that he had made him look much better than he actually is. As far as Josh McDaniels bringing the "system" with him, he doesn't have the players nessecary in Denver to make it work right away. No Randy Moss or Wes Welker, and no great offensive line. It's going to be a little harder to find success with just Brandon Marshall at reciever, a downgraded O-line, and no running game to depend on.

In no particular order The Bends - Radiohead In Utero - Nirvana Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers Icky Thump - The White Stripes London Calling - The Clash The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles OK Computer - Radiohead Dookie - Green Day Nevermind - Nirvana Some of these might be cliche, but I didn't want to put something not well known on the list just for the sake of looking musically well rounded.

You really can't blame Cutler for being upset. I'd be pissed too if my team wanted to trade me after putting up pro-bowl numbers. He couldn't have done more to help his team win. You can say that Cutler blew his teams chances at making the playoffs, but people need to be reminded that football is a team sport. The defense did him no favors at all, especially after letting the Chargers score 52 points in the season finale with a playoff spot on the line. I don't understand Denver's logic behind wanting to trade for Matt Cassel. His numbers weren't as good as Cutler's and not to mention, Cutler put up decent stats the year before as well. At this point, Cassel is a question mark and Cutler has a better resume. The Patriots had a better record, but in the end couldn't make the playoffs either. Now Cassel is off the market and Cutler wants to be traded. The Broncos did this to themselves and I find it hard to believe that they will be able to replace Cutler's production in the draft or in free agency.

Yes the 'N' and 'M' are right next to each other on the keyboard. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Stop projecting. The only reason this is even an issue is because you posted something I asked you as an example of my terrible 'messageboarding'. The problem was that you responded entirely different when no one else could see what you wrote. You were a moderator before, and I just assumed that you still were when I asked you the question. I'm sorry for making that mistake but you didn't have to be so two-faced about your responses. You should have said this the first time if you wanted to avoid this discussion.

Um, yes the top quote was you. For the sake of your arguement, I know you "don't remember" sending the first response. I didn't know you weren't a moderator, for some reason I thought you were. I asked a general question, I don't think that warrants calling me a terrible poster. Also, contrary to what it says, I didn't start this thread.

Sure thing Mexicant

So Test had a vanilla character, terrible promo skills and couldn't work a decent match. I really don't think that's justification for being happy that he's dead. Half of the posters here were ready to collapse from despair when Benoit died and he murdered his family. Will everyone be throwing parties when Khali or Mark Henry dies?

The above quotes are messages you sent me in response to my original message. I don't understand. You say one of the reasons why I'm a bad poster was because of the question I had about my username, yet you seemed to reply to my message without any hostility. In the top quote, when I asked about why I was banned, you responded nicely to that as well. You even said "consider yourself a victim in all of this, and just post the way you have been. Thanks for understanding." If you dislike me, I'm okay with that, but at least be consistent about it. Don't give me polite responses and then say a bunch of negative things about me in this thread.

Oh please no.

I'm really flattered by all of this. Someone has a high opinion of their ability to hurt my feelings. Sniffles I'm not going to throw gas on this retarded fire. Ridicule me amongst yourselves.

Anyone who put me down as one of their choices. Because that's all anyone is doing anyway.

I think this is kind of an asinine argument. Neither guy needed to put up Dan Marino numbers because they had talented teams around them, as the combined 7 Super Bowl wins will attest to. Generally speaking, an NFL QB throwing for 400+ yards on a routine basis is more based on need than anything else, as it's usually a sign that the run game and defense aren't any good. And it's not like Aikman or Montana were Trent Dilfer-esque "game managers" or anything. Both guys were really integral parts of offenses that won multiple championships. Are you playing devil's advocate or do you really believe that? You said it yourself, they both had good teams around them. It's really easy to win games when you have numerous guys on both sides of the ball to depend on. Given the coaching philosophy and team talent, it's reasonable to think that a lot of other guys could have done exactly what Montana and Aikman did if put in their situation. Steve Young did it perfectly. I'm a Cowboys fan, but I think Aikman was as big a freeloader as anyone thats ever played) I'm not saying these guys weren't good, but it's easy to win games when you don't have to do it by yourself. It's more impressive when QBs do more with less. An example would be Donovan Mcnabb. He's done more with less offensive talent than just about any QB I've seen. Just a brief list of QBs that I would take over Aikman and Montana(in no particular order) - Dan Marino (based on his massive numbers and the fact that he got those numbers without any real talent on the offensive side. Yeah he had Mark Clayton, but I think Clayton's success had more to do with Marino, than the other way around.) - Brett Favre (Regardless of how much he's hated around here, the man started his first game in 1992 and hasn't missed a game since he retired. Not to mention he now has pretty much every passing record there is to be had without having a consistent offense. He threw a lot of interceptions, but he also threw 464 touchdowns compared to Montana's 273. -Peyton Manning (Like Montana and Aikman, he had a great offense around him. The difference is that Manning put up way more numbers with his good offense than Aikman and Montana could do with theirs) -Donovan McNabb (Like mentioned earlier, did more with less offensive talent that perhaps anyone. No consistent running game as well as no consistet target to throw to.)

With another 4000 yard season, Manning will be behind only Favre, Marino, and Elway on the all-time passing yards list. He's currently at 45,628, behind Vinny Testaverde. Just to illustrate how far he is above everyone else in the league, of active players, Collins is next at 37,363, and then McNabb at 29 and change. Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson(!), and Trent Green are all around the same ballpark, within 1000 yards of each other. After that is Jon Kitna, and then Tom Brady, who is one year younger than Manning. Discussion question: Vinny Testaverde is top ten all time in passing yards, touchdowns, attempts, and completions. Every other QB in that statistical tier is in the HOF. Does Testaverde belong in Canton? He never won a Super Bowl, so that will be everyones justification for him not getting in, which is utter shit. He started his career with the Tampa Bay Bucs when they were laughing stock of the NFL so his numbers there aren't going to look impressive. Steve Young had a bitch of a time in Tampa as well and he couldn't fix that mess. Fortunately for Steve, he was able to go to a Super Bowl contending team. Vinny's gotten into the playoffs a few times and once to the AFC championship. Also to menion what you pointed out, he put up better numbers than Joe Montana. If it were up to me, yes Testaverde would be a Hall of Famer. Problem is he isn't as iconic as Montana, Favre, Young, Aikman, Elway, etc. so he'll be left out unfortunately.

I know that this has been mentioned before, but it's not like Joe Montana put up overly-impressive numbers. He won 4 Super Bowls yes, but his regular season numbers were merely average. Montana's numbers look average when compared to today's. Teams really didn't throw as much as they do now. Montana was in the top ten in passing yardage nine times (never led), top 10 in passer rating 13 times (led twice and his 1989 was the highest rated season in history until Young's 1994), and top 10 in touchdowns eight times (led twice). Montana missed one full season and parts of two others with injuries, and lost almost half of 1982 and a few games in 1987 to strikes. Compared to Manning and Marino his numbers look average but they were above average in his era. I just hate how iconic Joe Montana is and I especially hate how QB's are rated based on SB rings. Montana never threw for over 4000 yards in a season. Only threw for 30+ TD's in a season once. Jeff Garcia did that three years in a row with a FAR LESS talented offense. Vinny Testaverde has better career numbers. With Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, John Taylor...there isn't any reason why Montana's numbers are as mediocre as they are. Just a list of guys who threw for over 4000 yards in the 80's Dan Marino ('84 -5084 yards, '85 - 4137 yards, '86 - 4746 yards, '88 - 4434 yards) Dan Fouts ('80 - 4715 yards, '81- 4802 yards) Phil Simms ('84 - 4044 yards) Don Majkowski ('89 - 4318 yards) Neil Lomax ('84 - 4614 yards) Jim (Chris) Everett ('89 - 4310 yards) Jay Schroeder ('86 - 4109 yards) Lynn Dickey ('83 - 4458 yards) Bill Kenney ('83 - 4348 yards) Brian Sipe ('80 - 4132 yards) In a nutshell, I think Joe Montana ranks up there as one of the most overrated QBs of all time. Right up there with Troy Aikman.
