    Something I've always wondered...

    I heard he lost it playing recreational hockey, but that's just hearsay.

    Charles Woodson slams Callahan

    I would start Boldin over them any day.

    The OAO Week 9 NFL Thread

    It could be 3-0 for all that I care. Just that we win.

    The OAO Week 9 NFL Thread

    Steve McNair is much more deserving of MVP than Moss. Where would Tennessee be without him?

    The HULK!

    Because the Hulk didn't show up for the first hour and the kiddies got bored. They would rather see Charlie's Angels than a movie that is actually about something.

    Any big league sports stars from your hometown?

    Jeff Beukeboom used to live down the street when I was a kid. I live in Ottawa now, and other than a ton of NHL players the only guy I can think of is QB Jesse Palmer of the New York Giants. Also, I live with a guy who's best friend is Justin Williams from the Flyers.

    To the Mods

    We do ban the IPs, but we have the exact problems mentioned above.

    HHH is holding down Ric Flair

    They were banned for violation of Rule #3 even after APO warned them.

    We're all gonna die..er..maybe not...

    It has been cloudy and rainy here for the past two weeks so we won't see much I gather. Did anybody see it? Was it any different than the regular aurora that we see quite often?

    Hardyz update

    I hope they trade him for Jericho.

    Quick FF question....

    Collins will have weeks where he will throw for 3-4 TDs so keep that in mind, and others where he throws 4 INTs.

    Quick FF question....

    Collins has more upside but isn't as consistant. How is the rest of your team? If you are relying on your QB to win games, you should probably start Collins, but if you are doing fine, Johnson is probably the safer pick.

    Kansas City Chiefs

    Tennessee isn't even the best team in their division. Right now, I'm not even convinced that they are as good as New England.

    All may rejoyce...

    I liked DeMott. He was certainly better than guys like Bradshaw & Test. A-Train is too for that matter. I wish him the best of luck. He is one of the few guys who actually seems to love what he does, rather than love the fame they get.

    OAO NFL Week 8 Thread

    I don't know who I get yet. Probably Bills/Chiefs. EDIT: I didn't realize that was the late game. I've got Pats/Browns and Lions/Bears.

    Ambulance match at Survivor Series

    Either the gimmicks suck (ex. Ambulance, Buried Alive) over they are so overused that they have lost all meaning (ex. ladder, HIAC). I don't really count things like the Bar Room Brawl or the various table matches and so on. Those are promoted as fun sportz entertainment segments, not as a major hyped up match. There is a reason that people pay attention when it is Royal Rumble time, or when they decide to have an Iron Man Match. The Elimination Chamber could be like that if they were booked better. HIAC used to be something that people looked forward too. Wasting it on feuds like HHH/Jericho or HHH/Nash was pointless. At least Brock/Taker managed to get Brock super-over for a little bit so that filled its purpose, but there was no reason for the others or even the Armaggeddon 6 Man. I don't even want to talk about the Bossman HIACs. There was no reason for Brock/Taker III to have a gimmick, yet it didn't stop them, and it was a bad gimmick at that. Once again it comes back to WWE being able to think things out, and it is something that they aren't very good at doing. Just look at the two best matches of the year. Angle/Benoit from the Royal Rumble and WGTT/Animals from Vengeance. Both of them had no gimmicks, no interference, and clean finishes. They were just two or four great wrestlers just getting in the ring and putting on a fantastic show. WWE needs to get back to that.

    The Survivor Series card

    You mean Tatanka. Steiner was in the match and got eliminated in about 30 seconds. In this case I hope Nathan Jones plays Pierre and Matt Hardy plays Crush.

    The Dangers of Euro-Centric History

    Well, in the cases of the Aztecs and Incas, it would be provide some balance for the students. In almost every history class I have ever taken, the Aztecs and Incas were portrayed as sympathetic characters. They were portrayed as helpless native tribes who were killed and enslaved by the heartless and greedy white man. They almost always gloss over the fact that the Aztecs and Incas were bloodthirsty conquerors themselves who were just as bad or worse than the Spanish who conquered them. It would be nice if history classes put more emphasis on the fact that Aztecs and Incas were bad guys, too. That was a pretty bad history class you took then. One of the reasons it was so easy for the Spanish to win was because the other Mesoamericans hated the Aztecs and allied with them.

    The Dangers of Euro-Centric History

    That's odd. The Viking Invasions going on at the same time had far more lasting implications than the Caroligian Empire. Even in my university history classes in European history we don't touch that much on Charlemagne. He wasn't like Alexander where he completely changed the world.

    The Dangers of Euro-Centric History

    Indian's influence is Buddhism. Hinduism is huge, but never really got a foothold outside of the subcontinent. Buddhism though is probably the third most influential World Religion behind Christianity and Islam. BTW, the Byzantine Empire was European.

    The Dangers of Euro-Centric History

    The Incans role in shaping the world came about due to them losing to the Spanish. That's it. Actual African influence is pretty much limited to the Nubians, Egyptians and the north-western civs in the Colonial Age that made the slave trade possible. But the region has played an extremely important role from the Phoenicians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs & Turks. North Africa, the Middle East & Muslim Spain were the dominant powers throughout most of the Middle Ages. The only ones that even were comparable were the Byzantines (and they were in a permanent state of decline after Manzikert), Tang China, and later the Mongol Empire. The Ottoman Empire was extremely powerful throughout the 16th & 17th Centuries. Southern Europe was important in the Ancient World, but after the Fall of Rome until Columbus, Europe wasn't that big a factor. Spain started the beginning of the modern age of European dominance in the 1500s, but until the 1600s most of Western and Northern Europe wasn't much of anything. Japan didn't do much until after Perry so that's why you don't here about them, but China remains dominant to this day in Asia in a way similar to European cultural dominance in North America. At the very least you should talk about them.

    The Dangers of Euro-Centric History

    I assume you mean sub-Saharan Africa. Northern Africa was very important until the early 20th Century.

    WWE Talent Upset

    Since those things keep happening (ex. Shane dominating Kane), I would say that 1wrestling is accurate there.
