The only reason the Cubs are a bit different than any other baseball team for me is because I do have a lot of close friends that I'd be super happy for if they do end up winning it all. That said, I'm not rooting for them and I'm not rooting against them, whatever happens...happens. And they're obviously the best team in baseball but they're far from a lock to even get out of the NLDS, this is the baseball post season, it's random as s***.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) So did Rollins. He did but Tyler outperformed him. I don't think Tyler is a starting shortstop at the major league level but I don't think it's fair to say he was given a legit shot in spring training, Rollins was definitely the guy they wanted to go with.

I loved Forte's value too especially if you have any type of ppr in your league. The only thing that worries me a bit is he saw 0 action on 3rd down yesterday and you'd think that's where he'd gobble up some catches.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) And Saladino had a legit shot at the job in spring training. He didn't beat Rollins out. The cards were not stacked against him. Robin loves the guy. He almost made the team a few years ago. Saladino absolutely destroyed the ball in Spring Training.

I'm not sure if it was just the twitter stream that showed 80 million Luke Cage commercials yesterday during the football game but I'm now ready for that to start!

Ya, I have Forte and went up against Marshall and the Jets defense, that really couldn't have went much better.

That Bills 4th down debacle and then the Jets follow it up by not going for 2 after they score the td there. How can coaches be this f***in dumb?!?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) So, as silly as it may sound to some, WWE is obviously aware of him, but they're hesitant due to marijuana failures when he was in UFC and his pro marijuana stance. He's also still brand new to the sport and they weren't going to take a "chance" on him until he proved himself a bit. They'll get over it as he continues to gain popularity and he'll be there semi soon imo.

Speaking of TJP, Sapolski got excited about his win and released his match with Riddle from over the weekend: Riddle will probably be in WWE rather soon and is going to be an absolute star.

I obviously know he's been tremendous this year but holy hell that's pretty absurd. Thanks for sharing.

DB and Alexa on Talking Smack was everything. Hoping we're going full Dean heel turn too. Get him away from his goofy schtick and back to being serious on the mic, whole different guy.

With everything going on in the world right now, I'm pretty pumped for South Park starting up tomorrow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) There's my reply. Yes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Why should a guy like Porcello be punished for the games he pitches in being more important than Sale or Q? Who is punishing him for that? People are just saying they should be on the same playing field, not giving Porcello the benefit of the doubt cause his team is better. For all we know Sale and Q would have better numbers this year if they were in the race and they shouldn't be punished because their team f***in blows.

Holy hell that was the best thing in the history of sports.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Why do I love watching the Rams fail? Going to bed leaving myself open for plausible comeback I think a lot of people are rooting for them to fail this year.

This game would only be watchable if it was Kaep vs. Goff.

3-1 in my leagues but lost in the one I care most about.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) You're cranky and hate everything Only hate your boys Brock and Randy.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) How about Joe comes up to help Shane when Shane feuds with Brock? Joe could be the guy to beat Brock at mania and be shot to the moon. I'd be cool with that but I'm sure we're just getting a Brock-Shane match at some point. I have no interest in that whatsoever but people like watching Brock throw people and Shane be a crazy person so as much as I don't want to see it, a lot of other people will.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:14 PM) He and Roode should be up tomorrow. Ha After Styles is done with Ambrose, a face Joe should be his next challenger as there is just no other credible face on that roster with Orton broke and Cena gone. It'd be kind of funny if they had Joe-Styles at mania for the belt in Orlando just as a huge kick in the nads to TNA. Obviously they should be above something like that but seems like a thing Vince would get a kick out of doing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) Does Joe still take indy bookings despite the NXT deal? Thought he said when he first came in he had an original deal. Makes me question if his goal is the main roster. When he first started it seemed he was just going to be a part time NXTer and still do the indy stuff. He's all in on NXT now though and I'm sure he'll be on the main roster soon.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) The thing that drives me crazy is Smackdown and Raw have thin rosters, Raw is made worse that it's 3 hours, that will be partially helped next week when the Cruiserweight division starts (From what I've heard is Metallik (who has been tearing it up in his wrap-up shows in CMLL), Gallagher, Cedrik Alexander, Tozawa (!!!), Swan, Perkins have been signed, obviously could be more. Gargano and Ciampa are under deals, but not sure if they'll stay in NXT and continue feud with the Revival) but won't be given a whole hour. (Sabre likely won't sign and Ibushi can if he wants, and would win it if he did, but supposedly doesn't want a WWE exclusive deal, which could all be a work at the end of the day). They have Nak, Joe (his injury is a work), Aries, Roode, the Revival, Ciampa and Gargano (and I'm sure I'm missing others) that can step into the main rosters and provide very good work, however, NXT is such an independent touring brand, they need them for the house shows and keep the brand with established names. Rumor has it that both Gargano and Ciampa will be in the cruiserweight division. For a little bit I'm sure they'll both work NXT and raw. Kendrick is going to be in the division as well. Sabre and Ibushi are the two main guys that aren't signed who I wouldn't be shocked to see down the not so distant road. I'm sure they'll pursue Ricochet when his LU contract is up too. There are a lot of people in NXT that should be on the main roster but yes, while they're a touring brand they're not going to gut the whole roster. I'm sure Joe gets one more match with Nak and then gets moved up though.
