Why didn't you just go with Randall Cunningham? He just as good a runner as Vick and a much better passer.

I've never seen anybody just demolish the field like this in the sprints. Nobody else is even close. Some controversy over the Bronze Medallist who stepped out of his lane and got DQd.

Bolt just smashed Michael Johnson's WR in the 200m. First person since Carl Lewis to win the 100m & 200m in the same Games.

Exactly. Live as they happen is the only option we have, which is generally when CBC shows anything important anyways, using tape delay if there is more than one thing going on at once.

That's kind of like winning the Pro Bowl the week after losing the Super Bowl.

Most of them I can actually. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I can name any two World Series participants off the top of my head, so I can't judge. '75? That's arguably the most famous World Series ever. Reds/Red Sox.

I would rank Don Hutson as the greatest Packer, but I can definitely see the argument for Favre. I just find the difference between Hutson and his contemporaries to be too great to ignore. He would triple the numbers of the second best receivers. I think Atlanta is the worst franchise in the history of the NFL so I can actually see picking Sanders for lack of options. Even the Cardinals have been better. Fred Taylor over Jimmy Smith for the Jags is another big question mark for me. Ricky Jackson is my pick for the Saints. Lilly got screwed for the Cowboys. I can see him not being #1 (although I would rank him there), but #6 is just plain wrong. He's called Mr. Cowboy for a reason.

Most of them I can actually. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

What about Ogden then? He hasn't killed anybody (that I'm aware of). The Bradshaw pick was pretty bad too. A team with guys like Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Mel Blount, Jack Ham & Franco Harris and they pick Bradshaw?

If there is a tie in the number of Golds, then it goes to Silvers, and then to Bronze if those are still tied so they other medals aren't completely ignored in the total medal rankings, just mostly.

It has nothing to do with the US, aside from why NBC is ranking them in a different way from everybody else in the world. The Americans have benefited from it before as well. Ex. In the first Olympics where Greece had the most medals but the US the most Golds and thus the US placed first. The runner-up for the Super Bowl gets a trophy too, but you don't see anybody saying that it is their dream to hold the George Halas or Lamar Hunt trophys. I would rather win 1 Gold than 50 Silvers. It is still an accomplishment just to medal, or even just to compete in many cases, but the Gold is far more valuable. Notice how they rank them on the official site. http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/...GL0000000.shtml

Time has expired, so I will pick my final skill player. Not like Gert T would have picked this position anyways. TE Pete Retzlaff 7412 Yards 47 TDs 5-time Pro Bowler & 1-time first-team All-Pro #44 Retired by the Eagles

I couldn't get Morten Andersen so I'm going to take his clone. The two of them have had basically identical careers, and I actually thought that they were the same guy for awhile when I first started watching. K Gary Anderson * 4x Pro Bowl selection (1983, 1985, 1993, 1998) * 5x All-Pro selection (1983, 1984, 1985, 1993, 1998) * NFL 1990s All-Decade Team * NFL 1980s All-Decade Team * Once was the NFL's All-Time Points Leader I'm amazed at some of the kickers that have gone before him.

I wouldn't even go that far. Now probably Sting should have put an end to the angle after Starrcade 1997, but fortunately WCW lucked into another chance with Goldberg. Had they ended it with Goldberg demolishing them leading up to Hogan in 1998 things would have turned out very well. But after they ruined Goldberg the company was never again able to build a true top face.

The nWo would have been dead by the end of the year. Sting didn't fit in with that group at all, and he has never been able to get over as a heel. Luger would have been the proper choice, despite the predictability. He had been acting heelish for some time, but more importantly unlike lifetime WCW wrestler Sting, he had just spent the better part of the 90s with the WWF as one of its biggest stars during the same period Hall & Nash were there and had only been back to WCW for a few months.

The IOC has ranked the nations based on total Golds for 112 years. This year is no different. Of course we all know the answer to the question though. It is so they can say that the US was number one. If the situation was reversed, they would be using the proper medal tables.

For your sake, I hope not. Unless you really want to field a 9-man defense. Me too. I need 3 more players just to field a full team. One more on offense, a kicker and punter.

The biggest historical significant event of the Olympics and they don't even show it live in all of the US. We saw it live and we didn't even have a team in the finals. I thought NBC said they were going to show these events live this year?

The thing that really bothers me about the Joker killed Batman's parents subplot is that it felt so tacked on. It doesn't change the rest of the film at all aside from a couple of lines of dialogue at the end. Had it meant something I would have been okay with it, but Batman already had enough reasons to want to stop the Joker by that point. Burton trying to emphasize how Batman & Joker aren't that different and how they made each other really falls flat when one considers that one guy is doing this to protect civilians and the other is a murdering psychopath. Why Burton pushed that angle when the two characters motives and actions are so clearly different is beyond my understanding.

So who's turn is it now? We are getting close to 24 hours since our last pick.

I normally agree with you on the Reversed Decision booking (I hated it at Wrestlemania XIV), but here it worked well and made sense since the feud was supposed to be blown off at Survivor Series. 1) This was the first time I had seen it so it was fresh. 2) Bret was a former WWF Champion, current King of the Ring and widely regarded as the best pure wrestler in the WWF. Lawler was a commentator on Superstars. There was no conceivable way that Lawler could win. 3) Lawler had already tried to weasel out of the match by making Bret fight Doink first. Now that I didn't like, because usually it means the heel does get out of the match (see the never-ending Rick Steiner/Scott Steiner feud in WCW for example), but here it works because Lawler is forced to fight Bret afterwards anyways. 4) The reactions by Lawler, Bret, Owen & Bruce are fantastic. There is simply more excitement here than you normally get out of this angle. All in all, I thought it was a great angle and one of the best parts of the show.

Ben Johnson did the same thing, but we all know how that turned out.

I'll do the bonuses as well. Bonus Round! 8. Least favorite SummerSlam overall? 1999. Awful card. The main event looks good on paper, but the match stank and it didn't have any historical significance either as the title changed again the next night. When the best match involves a non-wrestler and Test, you know the show sucks. 9. Least favorite match? Al Snow vs. Big Bossman. One of the worst feuds ever. Not quite as bad as the Kennel from Hell Match, but almost. 10. Most Underrated SummerSlam? 1993. This would be the best Summerslam ever had Hennig/Michaels lived up to its potential. There is strong stuff throughout the card, and even Luger/Yoko manage a good match. 11. Most underrated SummerSlam match? The Six Man from Summerslam 1993. It gets forgotten because it was stuck right before the biggest match of the year for the WWF and because the only guys with an issue were Tatanka & Bam Bam, but this was an excellent match that people wouldn't normally expect out of these guys.

1.) Favorite SummerSlam show overall? SummerSlam 2000. Rock/HHH (with minimal involvement from Angle), Benoit/Jericho Best2of3, TLC 1, Shane killing himself before it became cliche... Fantastic stuff. 2.) Favorite world title match? Bret/Owen. My favourite cage match of all-time. 3.) Favorite mid card title match? Bulldog/Hart. This one is a no brainer. 4.) Favorite tag title match? TLC1. A rematch of the Triangle Ladder Match from Wrestlemania, this is the first and best TLC match. 5.) Favorite non-title match? Michaels/Martel. Not a mat classic by any stretch, but this was extremely fun and a very unique match. 6.) Favorite segment? I don't know if this counts as a match since the good stuff happens in between the actual wrestling, but the Lawler/Doink/Hart Family fiasco from Summerslam 1993 is fantastic. 7.) Things you hated besides Goldberg screwed out of winning the Elimination Chamber? Curt Hennig getting virtually squashed by Kerry Von Erich at Summerslam 1990. Hennig was basically at his peak as a wrestler at that point and he gets embarrassed by a guy who was a shell of his former self.

Randy Savage turned heel in 1989 because Hogan tried to steal his woman.
