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.

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.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 22, 2017 -> 08:59 AM) Thats part of the game. He pissed off people that werent smart enough to "respect" his game. If he turned on xmas and Josh, they still would have voted for him. He chose wrong. Even in his post show interviews, Paul just doesn't get it. He is playing victim and not owning up to his game. He could've been top 5 player if he won but he choked.

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 12:43 PM) Watching Paul's mental breakdown as he slowly realized he wasn't going to win was painful. I was rooting for Josh to pull off the upset, but outside of a few mistakes, Paul dominated from start to eviction night. I'm relatively new to BB (more of a Survivor fan). Started watching BB17. Where does Paul rank in all time players? Making it to the final 2 and losing by a single vote is impressive any way you look at it. Paul’s obviously better than some winners but he’s not in any conversation for best of all time. 0-2

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:23 PM) Well, Paul should have taken Raven and Matt..... Raven for sure after Matt was evicted. People will say Paul was some great player but he made mistakes all over. Just live up to what you did in the goodbye messages and when talking with Jury. He just continued to lie to them and they were all shaking their heads. He was the best player but choked in the end. And he's an arrogant knob as well, so I'm glad he lost. Alex and Xmas came out of that finale looking awful.
