Mike wanna be

How lazy are the shirt makers when they get one design and make 5 different shirts out of it? I miss "the old days" when we had a catchphrase and 3-4 different shirt layouts for it.

Smell the commercials: NBC, the preferred newscast of gun-toting loonies.

I can't believe somebody put "Katie Vick" and "more funny than offensive" in the same post, let alone the same sentence. But as we all know, this is Rockstar's fault. Clearly Table Tennis should be banned.

I don't think they needed to point out that, conveniently enough, the "randomly chosen" fan happened to be a trained wrestler who dreamed of a WWE position. Would've been better if they acted like it was his first time ever seeing wrestling live, or something mildly sensible.

The first two shot still haven't been tied to the second set. That said, that dorm is full of 800+ people; assuming it's the same guy, if even a handful made a run for the door, could he not have just shoved the handguns into his pockets and run into the pack while looking completely inconspicuous? They can't exactly stop people running for their lives to check for weaponry. According to the bald girl witness, he just barely entered the room (~5 feet from the door). Hardly any classrooms I've ever seen have seats THAT close to the door, so anybody that did make a run probably couldn't close the gap to avoid getting hit anyway. That said, one has to wonder if they had just shut the school down...what difference would it have made? Regardless of whether or not both shootings were done by the same guy (which I doubt; as Carlin put it in a slightly out-of-context joke, "If they do get out, what do you expect them to do, HANG AROUND? Check real estate prices? Hell no *whistling sound* they're fuckin gone!"), he clearly got on campus and into a heavily populated building with 2 semi-automatic handguns; if they shut down on Monday because fo the 7:15 shootings, who's to say he doesn't just come right back on Tuesday, Wednesday, whenever the cops leave? Like the president of VT said, it's a 24000 student school with over 100 buildings; you can't put guards at every door and you can't examine every person that comes in.

What a vicious, screw-loosening attack. BAH GAWD what's she doing with that screwdriver? No, don't do that! NOAOOAOAW GOD RIGHT INTO THE SOCKET.

Can't blame ESPN; you cover the black and the lazy-eye demographic when you book the Stu.

We are, but saying why is considered racist.

S&J are allowed to protest. They're allowed to speak their minds on the issue as much as Imus was allowed to say what he did. Did a single sponsor back out before S&J raised a stink about it? No. In fact it seems like each and every party involved took every step possible between "Let's ignore it, he apologized" and "We want no further affiliation with Don Imus" (most easily evidenced by the do nothing-2 week suspension-MSNBC cancelled simulcast-CBS firing line in the broadcasting department) and it just was not good enough for them until he lost his job. Make no mistake; while it wasn't S&J that handed him the pink slip, they're the ones that signed off on it. On a related note, what a classy job the Rutgers team did to finally accept his apology...once there was no life left in the story for them to milk for TV time. Convenient, is it not, that as soon as Imus stops being a personality and becomes an out-of-work 66-year-old with nothing left to give to them, that they then decide his apology counts.

I'm sure Rutgers is real upset that their school's name is getting spewed on every national newscast in the country. There is no "defeating" racism. There's no "ending" racism. The world would be a much better place if the handful of people in every race who bring it up at every opportunity (yet neglect it should bringing it up make them or their race look bad, conveniently enough) would just shut up.

"We've amicably settled our differences and see no reason for violence..." "LIKE HELL YOU HAVE"

Who pokechecks in a shootout? Seriously, who pokechecks? Gutsy, gutsy move (even though I hear he does it all the time)

...I always thought WGN was like TBS, in that it's technically a "local" station, but it's broadcast nationwide.

I just hope the Devils show up tomorrow and don't throw it in for the last game when they're already in the playoffs.

Clearly they were shutting off the lights row by row as fans filed out. Seriously, nobody gives a shit about either Lashley or Umaga any more now that the BotB is over, so giving them 15 minutes was a joke. When a face beats up and pins a heel's manager, the place is supposed to go apeshit (see: anyone [namely Hogan or Warrior] v Heenan, anyone v Heyman during Brock's run...), not "Meh." There's no upper midcard any more. You're either main eventing or in the midcard; without that upper midcard you get what we've had for months now, midcarders launched to the ME for no explainable reason and main eventers dropping to the midcard equally as fast. There's no build because there's nobody there to build with.

He willingly passed up the chance to play on a contender. The only reason he passed up this chance was to get a long-ass contract for a ton of money, and almost as soon as he got the contract he started whining to be traded to a contender. Him and Clemens are the disgraces to baseball, not steroids. How on earth is Alexander like Clemens? Trying to get the most money you can is a bad thing? WTF. Are going to tell me that all athletes don't care about the money, next? If you want money, that's fine. I've never said wanting money is bad. Their similarity is that they both took the "better" offers (A-Rod more money, Clemens less time with the team), and then said a whole bunch of things and were basically full of shit. Clemens always says he wants to come back to a contender, to win another World Series...no he doesn't, he wants to make $11 million and show up 1 day a week, and since the real contenders won't let him do it he just suckers the Astros into another waste of money to get 10 wins and a winter full of "Is he coming back? When? And will he be back with us?". They'd have been better off signing away somebody's pitching prospect and getting 30 starts a year out of him. After the A-Rod signing, for pretty much the entirety of the time he was there, report after report came out that A-Rod wanted to be on a winner, not a 4th place Ranger team (which I don't doubt; it's just my stance that when you sign with a team that was dead last the previous year when several first and second-place teams were making just slightly less over-the-top offers, you have to know that you're taking a big chance.) Present-day the same thing happens with Clemens. When he's "coming back" it's always the Yankees, Red Sox and Astros it comes down to, and every year he picks the Astros because they offer an assload of money and let him skip 80% of the team's games. Every single time it's the same reporters coming up with some reason why Clemens wants to be on a winner, and then they all disappear back to the woodwork when he picks the offense-free, struggling-for-a-wildcard-slot Astros over the 1st or 2nd team in the AL East because they all love him too much to say "Clemens went to Houston because Houston's the only one that would even consider putting up with his moronic, ridiculous demands.".

To be fair...a 71-win season was "good" enough for dead last the year before they brought in A-Rod, so they were as far into the AL West tank as they could get. Over the 3 years he was there, their average improvement over that 71-win season before he arrived: one game. In three years, a $250 million shortstop won them a total of three extra games. He was gone for 2004 and they improved to 89 wins. I'm not going to say that's totally A-Rod leaving or totally Soriano coming in, but you have to wonder how a $250 million shortstop "improves" you from 71 wins to 73, 72 and 71 wins and as soon as he's gone your team jumps to 89 wins. From the day of the trade: He even had a no-trade clause; he waived it for the nullified Boston trade and waived it again for the Yankees trade. If he truly wanted to stay he could've said "Don't trade me". Instead he whined and cried and got himself to a "winner". As far as financial security...as was mentioned, teams like the Mets and Braves were offering salaries in the $200 million range; you can't say that $200 million leaves somebody financially insecure.

He willingly passed up the chance to play on a contender. The only reason he passed up this chance was to get a long-ass contract for a ton of money, and almost as soon as he got the contract he started whining to be traded to a contender.

Another reason why ESPN sucks: Devoting a slot on ESPNEWS to interview...the two actors in the upcoming Blades of Glory movie.

I just cheer for an end in regulation; a win by either team hurts, but going to overtime just fucks Toronto big-time.

Highlight of the night: Campbell checking his own goalie.

Yeah, I am going to have to agree with this. I personlly don't see them catching and surpassing the sales of the 360 with their ever dwindling lineup of exclusives. And apparently people love Halo, so Xbox has at least Halo 3 going for it as an exclusive. As far as making money, once again Nintendo will win because they've been making money on their console since Day One. Plus they've got Metroid, Mario & Zelda to carry them along in the first-party department. PS3's already lost DMC4 and GTA4 exclusivity. They might lose FF XIII. If they lose MGS4...what's left from third-parties?

Ah, good to see YokoHenry back in the ring.

...GBA is outselling PS3?

Who thought "Don't fire Eric" would?
