Why go after the national anthem when the military is so solemn about the anthem? You seriously don't live in the same world as the rest of us. It's absolutely incredible.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) Amazing how Buck is a genius if they win, and a total dolt if they lost right there. Definitely. I think the right play was to use Britton there but you know...baseball.

The Main Event feud is f***in fire too.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) This just in: Illinois fans only fans to ever complain about refs. There's more Illini fans on this board than any other team so it's understandable that you guys complain the most but holy hell it's on another level. Every freakin game, in every freakin sport.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) Way to step out on the limb there shipps. AND YOU WERE STILL WRONG

Got a date with Luke Cage and some Bud Light's tonight. Surprise 30th birthday party for one of the girl's I hang out with tomorrow. And Kickball games and watching football on Sunday. Exciting stuff or something.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Because of the cold weather? No. As has been said earlier in this thread, Jake has been fairly mediocre as of late and I bet that'll continue in the playoffs. As far as Hendricks, same reason I thought Arrieta might have issues in last year's playoffs: he's no where near as good as he's pitched all season and at some point he's going to regress. Maybe it wont be until next year but with the extra starts in October, I'd bet on him getting hit around a bit in the playoffs. We'll obviously see.

I can easily see Hendricks and Jake getting hit hard in the playoffs. If the Cubs go down, I bet it's for that reason.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Which is even more embarassing because they don't need to do that and he isn't getting fired. He is a free man after Sunday. Yup. It's just stupid all the way around but whatever, that's this organization right now.

Ibushi is back for the Dusty classic, tagging with Itami. That should be fun.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) Jason was looking at the memory wall and said they look like the same person He's a smart kid, he probably already knows.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 08:49 AM) I stayed up to watch them enter last night. It was interesting. They just did a 15 minute pretape introducing everyone then the live feeds went on as they came in one by one. No Julie intro. Sort of surreal. I watched them all enter then finally went to sleep around 11. Im guessing if I miss the live comps, I won't be able to go back and watch them nor will they be put up on demand. Already love me some Alex and Whitney. Obviously it's only the first night but judging off what we know about the people and reading about their backgrounds, we might actually have some intelligent people to go along with them always trying to just bring in attractive people. Could be fun.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) I don't know what better sign you can get that they are not trading sale than this step. The front office is ok with where things are right now at all levels. They will keep saying they're doing a great job and no one challenges that format. Robin is one of those yes men, so why wouldn't he be back? ^^^

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) What a f***ing joke. If they really mean this, they are baseball-clueless. If they are floating it in the media to see the reaction, they are business-stupid. If they are giving Robin an "out", they should never have let it leak, and are marketing-stupid to put it out there to be seen. So, unless the journalist completely made this up (which I highly doubt), this is pure idiocy. It's Nightingale so the last part is for sure out.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) No, but this move embodies what is wrong with the franchise. Yup, this is the perfect way to put it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) It's time to start making some changes or its going to be same old same old again next season. That's what it's going to be. I f***in hate that these assholes have made me into that guy but they're not going to change who they are. It'll be the same f***in s***.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) He's not the least of their problems, he's right in the mix of the major issues. The least would be the last arm in the pen or a solid bench player. Robin is a lame duck. Maybe "least of the problems" isn't the best way to put it but this isn't a f***ed up organization because of him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) Honestly, I don't even care at this point anymore. They have bigger problems to address. He's the least of our problems in my mind as I'm never going to go crazy one way or another about a manager. Still, this organization is an absolute mess and you need to start to change some things. Fair or not that has to start with the guy in charge of the players. I'm also not surprised by this at all, not sure why anyone would be to be completely honest. Nothing is going to change with this organization.

Hehe.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) And I can't really say for certain Dolph will win because there are rumors he's leaving every year. His stand up is awful but could see him trying to branch out. Trying out MMA is all the rage right now! I don't think he'd actually do that but he's got the background to potentially be successful.

The Miz-Ziggler feud and main event program are beyond awesome right now on SD.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Kept up my usual trajectory. April - super hyped, live and die with every game May - still hyped (this is new territory in the last 4 years) June - paying attention, but starting to see who they really are July - paying less attention August - occasionally look up highlights, keep up with key players Sept - Don't care at all, despise the franchise and promise I'll stop supporting them April 2017 - spend $400 on opening day tickets, rinse repeat. lol this is so perfect.

Honestly, one of the reasons Bayley works so well is cause she is a lovable loser(as dumb as that sounds). That's why her story arch was so damn perfect in NXT. Her and Sasha are my two favorite people in the company but Charlotte winning is the right call here. The only thing that semi annoys me is it does seem like Charlotte-Dana is going to be the main women's program for a little while and that's just awful.

Rock, Pryor might get some snaps at qb today!

Just an awesome pitcher and seemed like a great dude too. Damn it.
