PLEASE tell me someone else saw Flair on Impact tonight. It was classically awesome the way he was going off.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Hmm, Hasheem Thabeet sent to D-League. That was such a bad pick, I'll never understand his predraft hype. You didn't like the #2 selection of a tall guy with very few offensive skills outside of jumping? I didn't even like him at UConn.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 01:41 PM) Also Michael Cole was very irritating to listen to last night. According to Joey Styles those were his legit feelings on Danielson/guys in the indies. If that is the case, that is just wrong to bury those guys on TV like he did. Cole could go down as the 2nd worst commentator next to Mike Adamle. I would think guys in WWE would watch ROH and other indy stuff to scout out young guys. Cole is a douche and easily the worst announcer in a long long time. MAYBE worse than Adamle.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) Am I going to be pelted by a s***-storm? Of so, let me just say I'm not a fan of the show. That's it. Go back to watching "Gossip Girl" and leave us nerds alone!

How come I don't find Elizabeth Banks as attractive as other people do? BTW, I'm rubber and you all are glue. So you know what happens to any "gay" replies.

I like Van Pelt. He took it like a pro. The guy sounded nothing like Westbrook though. That said, if I saw it LIVE and wasn't expecting it, I wouldn't of noticed. Wonder how the guy keeps getting on like that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) So what exactly was the point of focusing on an inhaler they found on the ground? Shannon used it the last time they were at the caves when they thought Sawyer was keeping the meds. It was just a nice touch of history. It's not like they had some long running dialogue about the inhaler. It was just something they found.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) What was the deal with the inhaler? Why waste any time on that scene if it didn't have any significance? Just relive a moment from season 1 that was a big deal to Jack. Seeing his fathers ghost, with the casket there, Adam/Eve. They never have pointless scenes on the show.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) yeah, I have been off WWE programing for awhile now, but watched NXT because I'm a Danielson fan and thought the concept sounded interesting. I agree, I think it's a good way to put over new talent and was pleased that Danielson seems to be the focus. He got a nice pop when he put Jericho in that leg submission and Jericho sold it like Danielsen was gonna pull off the upset.

NXT was kinda of interesting. Something new and fresh. Danielsen and Jericho had a real good match. Might be a good way to establish and push young talent instead of having them beat Taker at Mania.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) It just hit me. Wasn't that what Jacob told him after he screwed up that surgery and Jack's dad had to take over? No, he said, in reference to the candy bar and metaphorically, "It just needed a little push."

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) Big 10 recruiting actually isn't that bad, although Purdue is in serious trouble when their current upperclassmen leave if they don't pick up the pace. Anyways, Illinois should be in if they can beat Minnesota at home this weekend (although 1 more win to get them to 20 would assure it IMO.) Absolutely must win against the Gophers though. The dropoff in that program has been shocking to see, and although I can't speak for past seasons, I will say that they have lost an incredible amount of close games this season. We have to of lost at least 6 or 7 games when we were winning in the last minutes of the game. Our exeution down the stretch is vomit enducing and what we run out of timeouts and down the streth are so lame and predictable.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) In the Bible wasn't Jacob David's father............... Maybe. I doubt it will have that connection on the show. I remember hearing that Rousseu will be making appearance in Alt timeline. David's mom? Just a guess.

Jack the baby is back. I like the subtle hints that the two timelines are connected somehow.

Curious who David's mom is.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) BTW, John Beilein is a dumbass. You have a team that has no good 3 pt shooters and you have your team do nothing but jack up 3 pt shots. Smart coaching. He has a kid, Matt Vogrich, who is deadly from behind the arc and was an All Stater last year, yet never plays him. Leaves Douglas and Novak out there to punish the rims with their bricks.

QUOTE (T R U @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Brian, from what ive seen/heard lately it looks like Orton is getting that Austin status where hes essentially a heel yet the fan will cheer for him.. He has been getting a lot of cheers recently, and at the same time ide hardly say he was doing anything a face would do.. True. When he gave Sheamus the RKO on Raw a few weeks ago, that pop was huge.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) any idea what "you've got what it takes" is referring to? Guessing we will find out. Doesn't ring a bell from past episodes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) Ah yeah, Shea Weber just hit a slapper so hard it went THROUGH the net only leaving black stains on the cord. I dont think I've ever seen that before. 2 words: Fulton Reed

Illinois/Michigan has been unwatchable. Belein continues to leave struggling offensive players in the game. WTF

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 05:31 PM) If he could of stayed healthy, it could of been a real possibility. Hell, he had a title run lined up. At one point he was over enough, hell I was a fan. Right now, there's no guy who hasn't been in the title picture that I'd give he honor of ending the streak. The only guys who I'd consider for it would be: Edge, Jericho, Punk & HBK. But none of these guys would get a major rub from it, well other than Punk who deserves a legit title run sooner or later. Punk would be the only younger guy I would think should end it as a rub.

Read some tidbits about what we may see tonight. Interesting.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) I see your point, but after all these years I don't see the value in ending the streak. And I wasn't talking about just any young guy ending it. The scenario would have to all line up - young guy, locked in a longer-term deal, already getting over with the fans but in need of that one WTF moment to send it to another level. It would have to be someone on the cusp of breaking out. I don't know who fits that bill right now in the E. Although, really, it seems that more of the moments that "make" guys come from promos or gimmick matches. Could you imagine if they booked Kennedy to end Taker's streak at one of the Manias? Would of been a disaster.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) It makes no sense to end Taker's Mania streak at this point, especially to Michaels. If they were going to do it at all, it would make more sense to have a young guy who they see as the future of the company end the streak. To have a close-to-done wrestler end the other close-to-done wrestler's streak is just pointless. I'm the opposite side. It would be a big risk to have an up and comer end the streak. It is similar to "retiring" Flair. I feel the streak ending to a veteran is more believable and acceptable if it is at the hands of a veteran like HBK. Wanna push a young guy? Take away the title stipulation in the Rumble and have someone win it. Or bring back King of the Ring.

Damnit Christian! You should be on SD!!!!
