I'm so lost.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) Miller will end up going with him. The Illini will still have a pretty good class, but yet again miss out on the big time guy. No shocker. Liggins was far, far from the big-time guy in this class.

LOL at Liggins going to Kentucky.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 05:47 PM) Valentin hit the homer about 6 rows over my head. it was incredible. I was right around there as well.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 05:48 PM) Except Brian and MHizzle still have tribute sigs to this bastard. It was nice of you to take the "the only side effect of steroids is excellence" quote off of your sig though. Yeah because the steroids in Benoit's house were clearly for his kid, and doctors always let the kids dad inject him with steroids for an illness. I don't know how to take that exactly, but I believe you're a little misunderstanding. Authorities yesterday said they found needle marks on Daniel's arms, and they assumed Chris had been giving him steroids "for quite some time". Disturbing. What Pratt meant was that it was maybe not so disturbing after all, as the needle marks could have been from medicine for Daniel's mental disorder.

QUOTE(ChiSox9 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 05:49 PM) This was on the White Sox Website: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws Basically explaining that everything coming out of the Score is pure speculation and neither the organization or Mark could confirm an agreement. "There's no official announcement," I like the sound of that.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 02:03 PM) Maybe he's talking about the avitar thing..? Unless I'm missing something here, Shadows' avatar is of Randy Orton, not Chris Benoit. Anyway, I really haven't seen anyone defend the man since we foud out he was a murderer.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 05:26 PM) they certainly left ESPN 1000 for a lot less, who knows, we could be listening to the Sox on B96 next year. Eddie and Jobo would do a much better postgame show than Chris Rongey.

Just say no to Robinson Cano.

Report: Benoit's Son Had Fragile X Syndrome 06/26/2007 by Ryan Clark Canadian female Pam Winthrope told News 1130 in Canada that Chris Benoit's son had a genetic condition called Fragile X syndrome. According to WebMD, "Fragile X Syndrome is a defect of the X chromosome which causes mild mental retardation. The disorder occurs more frequently and severely among males than females. This condition is the leading known familial cause of mental retardation in the United States. Language delays, behavioral problems, autism or autistic-like behavior (including poor eye contact and hand-flapping), enlarged external genitalia (macroorchidism), large or prominent ears, hyperactivity, delayed motor development and/or poor sensory skills are among the wide range of symptoms associated with this disorder." Winthrope, whose son also suffers from the condition, told the Canadian news outlet that her husband reached out to Benoit five years ago in an attempt to increase awareness about Fragile X. She told News 1130, "We talked to him because I was trying to set up a support group in BC and in Canada, we only have a couple of them. My husband was struggling when we got diagnosed with our son, and Chris was struggling with his. They talked for a few minutes and then he said he didn't want to be a public face for Fragile X, he just wanted to keep it really, really quiet." Winthrope noted that the lack of support for those affected by the disorder can tear families apart. Nonetheless, "she couldn't believe the news that Benoit had taken his life along with his wife and 7-year-old son," wrote News 1130. This may explain why Daniel was taking growth hormone injections. It also may shed light onto why Chris didn't want someone else raising his son and made the fateful decision to kill him. As irrational and twisted as it may sound, he may have felt he was saving his son from the double-blow of losing his parents through a murder-suicide and being subject to being raised by people who didn't understand or care for his condition.

Seems like ECW is going to be through the roof.

This is all just a figment of my imagination.

Did that honestly just happen?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 12:55 AM) So you reported something that heinous off of a thread you saw on a wrestling board? Which wrestling board reported it, I want to read that post http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2917133 There's a link to said needle marks. Link to message board if you still want it, the needle mark stuff on page 67: http://www.bustedquad.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28353

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 12:43 AM) Where did you read this? I have been looking for a link to anything like this since you said it, and I cant find one. Hmmm. I may have prematurely reported it then. Two different people on a wrestling message board I was on mentioned the DA saying they found needle marks on Daniel's arms, and are suspecting Chris had been giving him the steroids for quite awhile now. I'll try and find a link. EDIT: Both posts cited the DA being on CNN Headline News. That's about all I could get for now. Also, McMahon is going to address the ECW crowd tonight, and will apologize for the 3 hour tribute last night.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) So you are saying this, and yet SI.com is saying this So if the steroids caused the depression/paranoia/explosive outburst, and the depression/paranoia/explosive outburst led to the murder of Benoits wife and son, and his following suicide, would it be fair to assume that steroids had something to do with this? From Wikipedia: "One of the most common misconceptions regarding the side effects of anabolic steroids is known as ‘roid rage’. There seems to be little or no evidence such a condition actually exists. The majority of recent studies done on "angry behavior" and anabolic steroid use show no psychological effect, implying that either "roid rage" does not exist or that anabolic steroids' effects on aggression are too small to be measured. Harvard researcher Harrison Pope, M.D. stated “With regard to the ‘roid rage’ issue, my first reaction as a scientist, obviously, is that ‘roid rage’ is a meaningless term that simply arose in popular parlance”. Many scientists and medical professionals have concluded anabolic steroids have no real effect on increased aggressive behavior." This is probably why my quick Google searches on violent, steroid caused crimes returned nothing. I honestly think this guy was just that f***ed up in the head. The more we learn about him, the more we know his mental problems extend well beyond the last week.

Investigators now believe he was giving his 7 year old HGH. Now there's a problem. What a psychotic freak.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) Oh yeah...I find it funny that some people are pointing to it as reasons why steroids can't be blamed. I'm with you though, it's going to get annoying the next few months with the crap wrestling's going to get. Steroids can't be blamed because their not the answer here. Seriously, how many serials murders have ever been recorded as been attributed to steroids? I'm going to go out on a limb and say none. Yes, I'm familiar with "roid rage". But last I checked that caused short bursts of rage, not the planned murder of three people over a three day period. The man has been said to have been psychotic for weeks now. Steroids had nothing to do with this, whether he took them or not. Just doing a little research here, according to Ryan Clark, WWE uses the same program from a 3rd party that MLB uses.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 09:18 PM) They said on Vengance they would announced who "killed" Vince. Did they announce it? Actually, that was what last night's Raw was supposed to be about(They even got a third hour to do the show from USA). Of course it was cancelled.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) It will be interesting to see if all of these baseball juicers from the last decade start dropping dead in their 40s due to enlarged hearts, etc. Most early deaths in the wrestling business are caused by wrestlers taking painkillers and/or other illegal druges, not steroids. This going along with the extreme amount of contact they go through day in and day out is not a good combo. WWE has had a steroid testing program on its main roster and developmental rosters for a few years now, and I can only recall there being one person caught in this time frame.

So the wrestling industry is going to take an absolute and undeserved beating in the oncoming media onslaught. Not going to be fun.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) One of the best icons ever right there.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 06:44 AM) They said that he was found in the weight room though, at least thats what official reports were I could be wrong, but didn't only Meltzer say that?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 06:24 AM) They also said that the details will be very bizarre. Who did?
