2017-2018 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Wanne @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) I get a chuckle from people that call baseball boring anymore...good lord...IMO football has FAR SURPASSED it in boring moments. Every time you flip on a channel there's either a commercial or some idiotic review for the 10th time in a half....or the halftime or pregame blabberers. When you go to a game you spend most of your time with your thumb up your arse waiting for tv timeouts...or again...some review. They spend more downtime. It's part of the reason football is losing me...among other reasons. Another being...hey dipsh**...when you make a play just go back to the huddle and quit acting like a WWE idiot. And don't even get me going on the flags every other play... Not a shocker people are turning it off. Sure you watch your team...but I'm not going to sit there watching as a "football fan" anymore....I just won't do it. It's hard enough just watching your team. It's why I watch RedZone channel. Unless the Bears game is close in the 4th.

The Challenge XXX: Dirty 30 Thread
QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 1, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) I'm not sure if anyone has been paying attention to the cast for next year that has been leaked but there will be four Big Brother players on there, they are doing a cross-over with a couple Challenge people on Celebrity Big Brother. I saw that. I'm sure Bananas will be on Celebrity BB. It was rumored before this 31 cast leak came out. The 4 BB people are not even ones I'd care to see on the Challenge. I hated Corey and Meech.

If Trubisky doesn’t start next game with a week and a half of prep, I’ll start getting pissed like you guys.

To settle everyone down, I'll predict he is fine and will throw 210 innings next year and win the Cy Young.

I saw yesterday that back-ordered cards will be mailed out Oct 1. Ugh. I ordered Sept 11. They should've been more prepared. I think you still need the card, even with the e-ticketing thing, but I could be wrong.

Automobile Thread
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) If the shaking is from the steering wheel at higher speeds you probably just threw a weight on one of your tires. I'd take it to a tire shop first and see if they need to be rebalanced. That's what it feels like to me but I know nothing about cars.

I heard the Shield rumors before Raw and the Miztourage loses to Jordan and Matt Hardy and lost interest. Not enough people talking about the Alexa vs Mickie segment, which I thought was excellent. Mickie being wasted so a program with Alexa works for me.

Anyone else see the #ElenaExposedParty on Twitter yesterday? What an awful woman. Mark seems like a good dude. Hope he ditches her. She's just looking for exposure/attention anyway.

I got duped into drafting Lamar Miller as well. Thought the rookie QB would check down to him more, but nah. Hope I can get Chris Thompson off the waiver wire.

**World Soxtalk Championship Wrestling Thread V**
I have a buddy who complains about everything, like Ron does. I'm convinced he doesn't even try and enjoy anything. It's no fun to talk to him about wrestling anymore and it's sad because we used to watch PPVs in his basement growing up. He beats a dead horse with his opinions, like Ron, as well. Maybe they're the same.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) What's funny about these false finishes and finisher kickouts are how often they seem to happen, yet very specific people are massively protected. Randy Orton aside, two other examples of this are Dean Ambrose and Alexa's DDT's -- nobody f***ing kicks out of them. They even went out of their way to show Nia Jax avoiding taking her DDT to protect it. They need to go back to that. It's impossible to get a move over if everyone kicks out of it constantly, and it removes a very important aspect of storytelling from the match. Using the above example, Alexa is small and cunning, thus she should always be trying to hit that finish and her opponents should be actively trying to avoid it, this sells the match. If everyone can kick out of it, you can't tell that story in the ring, and it detracts from the action because it just throws it in the audiences face these are choreographed spot fests, and until all spots are hit, the match won't end. In a real wrestling match, if you had a move that would end it, your goal would be trying to hit that f***ing move. Period. Seems like the F5 is being protected so Reigns can kick out of like 5 next April. Other than that, yeah. Bully Ray has said in interviews that only 1 person has ever kicked out of the 3D and they did that because it was part of the story that led to their break up in TNA. I don't pop for the constant kick outs like the live crowds do. But I loved them when Okada and Omega were doing them, so who knows.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 10:05 AM) If this is really about the military and vets, then Trump should be hard at work fixing the ultimate disrespect of our veterans in the VA. We still have vets dying for lack of decent medical care in 2017 because President after President utterly ignores their health care. Try to fix this and we can talk about a President respecting our troops. It's not but I see memes and videos posted about how they are disrespecting the military and veterans. The people posting them have no clue what it's about obviously.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 07:36 AM) Disagree all you want. They may be showing more solidarity in reaction to the awful, pathetic tweets from Trump but the purpose of the protest is still the same. Racial inequality. According to facebook, they're protesting the military and veterans.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 06:57 AM) He took 5 AAs then just did two moves of doom. It was s***ty even if he had to go over. I won't disagree with the constant kick out of everything. It does get old. As great as the tag match was, Dean kicking out after Cesaro powerbombed Seth on him from the top rope, then Sheamus getting pinned after a simple DDT was kinda meh. Did Brock and Braun ever leave the ring? After that build up and what happened at SummerSlam, them not doing a table or guardrail spot, seemed to hinder the match.
