Mike wanna be

WVU should be burying Pitt, but it's 0-0 after 1. Come on WVU, Save_us.fromtheOSU

I get the feeling that Taylor was sitting on the end of the bed and stood up when the door was kicked in; it was dark so the assailant didn't see him and just fired two shots in the dark at the spot on the bed where he assumed Taylor would be lying down/sitting up startled. Since Taylor was standing up his femoral was in the line of fire the guy was aiming at; when he heard Taylor's reaction to absorbing a bullet he assumed he'd delivered and took off. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the location of the bullet.

On the pillow, though? I mean, I can see someone in an act of panic/stupidity just tossing the knife aside to make a fast getaway, but to have it end up on the pillow...coincidentally? And the safe...well, I can understand them wanting in the safe, but I'm guessing that wasn't the only thing he had there. TV? Car keys? He must have had a ton of valuable stuff that was either in use or too big for the safe and they didn't touch any of it. It doesn't make any sense to me why robbers would go straight to the bedroom without disturbing anything else in the house. It doesn't make any sense to me why they would have cut the phone line both times if they thought the house was empty and only wanted to take things.

Four charged with unpremeditated murder? Guy gets a knife left on his bedroom pillow a week earlier, and then someone cuts his phone line, breaks into his home, breaks into his bedroom, fires a gun at him twice and leaves without taking a single thing and that's not premeditated murder....but attempted robbery. Right. Like Taylor keeps all his valuables in the bedroom with him, and doesn't have a single thing worth taking anywhere else in the house. He was murdered and they planned it, but they sure as fuck aren't going to confess to that now that the PD is moronically going for attempted robbery and unpremeditated murder instead of Murder 1/conspiracy to commit murder.

Nobody knows how Favre would play after having to sit out for a few games, considering I can't recall the last game he was on a roster for that he didn't start. Maybe he sucks if he doesn't play every game.

The Mets were asking around if trading Milledge was going to hurt their chances to pick up anybody good, and the answer was a resounding no. He strikes out too much and it isn't like the Mets are hurting for outfielders. Then again, they got a catcher and an outfielder out of it, so who knows. Milledge's value was dropping year by year, might as well move him now and get something out of him on the off chance he crumbles.

Ugh, it's not even December and I'm sick of hearing about the Twins and their trade talks. Who gives a shit what prospects you get for Santana, you'll just trade them away in three years because your front office is a bunch of cheapskates who can't seem to put together the "Winning ballclub + talented, charismatic young players = profitable franchise" equation. I can't wait until Liriano, Morneau and Mauer go on the block. They probably would have Liriano there already if not for the elbow blowout. On that note: Minaya, for god's sake bring in Santana and any other Twin you can get your hands on. Give up whatever you have to, and trade cheap veterans for them in three years when they want to renegotiate with the Twins and get lowballed to high heaven.

Do we even know the official rules for the match? All I can see is that there are four briefcases and you have to get one and open it...so does it end when the last one's opened? Do you just get a briefcase and leave the match and open them when all four are done? If so is it hot potato based where whoever has the briefcase when the fourth one is claimed gets to keep it and has to defend it in the meantime, or do you just get it, do a little dance while everyone else is dejected and leave, or what? I'm all for gimmick matches and chaos but I need to have at least some understanding of what the fuck is supposed to be going on and apparently I'm supposed to pay top dollar for the PPV to find out.

Speaking of the Ravens, did you know they selected Kyle Boller over Tony Romo? Anyway, the game was rather boring until the Pack made a comeback and even then it wasn't super exciting.

Bah, you're right. Curse my laziness. http://www.savefile.com/files/1162305 That one works, I just downloaded it from there. There's a readme in the folder (open the zip, unzip the folder, open said folder and it's right there) that explains what you need to do.

This one's a month old, but the guy doing it should have a new update done by this weekend. http://upload2.net/page/download/VEgVpePMD...Update.zip.html

The saddest thing about Umaga is that they keep trying to have him maintain his heat by repeatedly using the Stinger Splash miss into headbutting the ring post, as if to imply that you can only use big moves on him when he's stunned. It's to the point where he's doing it 2-3 times per match to set up the face comebacks. If he could just keep the opponent from the corner, or hell just stop stealing moves from Sting, nobody could ever beat him </kayfabe>

My girlfriend JUST bought The Bard's Tale. Creepy. Related note, now I can play NFL 2K5 and MVP 2005 again. Sweet.

Which is the bigger longshot going in: that the Patriots wouldn't cover the spread, or that the 49ers would outscore them?

The Eagles never run. They might West Coast up the score though.

He can freeze kickers by merely calling the ref over, he doesn't actually have to call the timeout because the kicker's going to stall the extra few seconds to see if Shanahan gets antsy on the timeout call. And start Moore now, goddamn it. Testaverde's not a long-term fix and neither is Carr. 4-7 means you're pretty much done in the NFC, barring a miracle 5 game win streak and even that's not anywhere near a guarantee. He played well in preseason and has been acceptable in relief.

Surprisingly I don't mind the Browns. Perhaps it's because I like orange, perhaps it's because there's a ton of brown in their jerseys, maybe it's because I'm juvenile enough to laugh at the "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl" shitter joke. Side note, will somebody notify the Panthers to start Matt Moore? Who cares if he's an undrafted free agent, he's better than David "I've got all day back here in the pocket, now what am I supposed to do with this football?" Carr.

The Bills loss clinched it for New England. EDIT: As for Buffalo's "diminishing fanbase", maybe they wouldn't be diminishing if you could pick a quarterback and have a team that wasn't absolutely embarrassing out on the field, eh Ralphie? National or Canadian, Toronto fans can tell the difference between good football and shitty football. That said, at least rename the team. For christ's sake, you aren't supposed to use the town you're in as the 'team name'. What the fuck is a Bill? Who cares, the logo is a buffalo. Be the Buffalo Buffaloes or something. If you're a Buffalo Bill you should have some cowboy on your logo. That's always bugged me.

Severn couldn't make the debut PPV, so the NWA stripped him of the belt to allow TNA's tournament to run as well as to eliminate the whole "Why is that guy the champion while all those guys have to fight for contendership?" debate.

Tebow's got it in the bag barring a Herculean performance by Daniel in the Big XII title game. He's the first and only player to have 20 TDs passing and rushing and this season he scored two touchdowns in his WORST performance (he got at least 3 TDs in every other game) McFadden's had a good year but he got held to 61 yards by Florida International, 43 against Auburn...and had as many multi-touchdown games as he did no-touchdown games (4). Tebow 1, McFadden 2, Daniel 3, Dixon 4, Crabtree 5.

I can't tell if Kansas is horribly overrated at #2 or if Mizzou is horribly underrated at #4.

I'm all for more competitive matchups, but Dawgs/Tech is a meaningless game and I'd rather see UConn get slammed than watch Stanford/Notre Dame. Those schools should be paying me for watching this drivel, Stanford's missed four field goals and has a concussed QB in the game while Notre Dame is still playing Jimmy "Why am I starting" Clausen.

McAfee just drilled a 70-yard punt without a bounce. He kicks from inside his own 20 and it's finally caught/bobbled/recovered back at the UConn 10.

Hogan/Taker was done 15 years ago, but they might re-do it. Hogan still owes Michaels one, so depending on how desperate he gets that might be a possibility. Edge/Hogan's possible, borderline probable due to Edge's marking for the Hulkster. Orton/Hogan for the legend of Hulkamania, but his legend killer streak is in limbo. Hogan/Lashley and Hogan/Cena depends on the timelines for their returns from injury. I'd go Hogan/Taker as the best bet at the moment, with Hogan/Edge and Hogan/Orton being possibilities if Hogan gets desperate for money and agrees to put them over.

Of the top four most likely to go that aren't West Virginia, I can't think of anybody that they can't beat. I mean, LSU was the top team and McFadden ran (and threw) all over the place. McFadden's backup had a big game, their third string HB/starting FB had a big game and their QB was a 50% passer at best whose biggest contribution was throwing a block 40 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. White's a better QB than Dick (and a better running threat too) and Slaton is about even with McFadden; lack of depth is the only thing that I could foresee going wrong in that game. Ohio State couldn't shut down the Juice, so the White should have a similar game. Kansas is a fluke. They go undefeated the year they don't have Texas, Oklahoma or Texas Tech on their schedule (and I'm not saying TTU is on par with the other two, I'm saying TTU has a shootout offense that is better than anything they've played all year). Missouri's the unknown; they lost to a weaker-than-usual Oklahoma but have played very well against everybody else. I think WVU can take them but I haven't seen enough of them to definitively give favor one way or the other.
