QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) Fifteen years from now, Steph will be saying the same thing about the guys in the league in 2031. Every generation thinks they were better than the current generation. Probably. But these guys are even more annoying right now because they don't understand the different style of basketball. Oscar's dumbass also compared Steph to some middle of the road bum from back in his day. I hope all the old guys shut up too.

I mean...like...uhhh...ya

They put out the NXT takeover logo today so I decided to go check what the tickets are at on stubhub...cheapest is going for $356. Yeesh.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Sure, we could have kidnapped him and forced him to play for the Sox, or drastically overpaid a player after which you would be angry at the production to cost ratio, or the Sox could have magically become the favorite to win the World Series thereby attracting more players. All are legit strategies. Ya, once again we can all make excuses why this team still hasn't signed an outfielder. Every outfielder ever just wanted to stay with their current team, Upton would have been an overpay but the fact remains that Avi is still a starting outfielder on this team. If they really wanted all of these guys they should have been able to land one of them and if they actually want Garcia as our starting rf then there's more wrong with this organization than I thought. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) The Cubs signed 3 starter FA's for less than they were offered by other teams including Heyward. It matters if your team is a favorite. This is the first time I can remember that a team has been able to grab that many guys on discount whether they're the favorites or not. It's not just that they're the favorite, it has a lot to do with the culture that Maddon, Theo and Jed have created.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) You can feel however you want. You are being irrational though and people shouldn't take you seriously. lol ok.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Why? He wanted to play for the Cubs That's nice. Like I said, I don't really give a crap what the reason is. If you want to look at every free agent outfielder individually you can come up with a fine excuse on why said player didn't sign with the Sox but when you miss out on every single one there's a problem somewhere with how you're operating.

I don't give a f*** what the reason is, Sox fans have the right to be pissed off about this.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) The Sox personal finances should have nothing to do with you judging the price a player recieves on the open market. They are two separate items and need to be looked at as such. A little over 11 million dollars a year for three seasons of a 29 year old Dexter Fowler is something the Sox should have been all over based on value alone, not to mention the glaring need on this team for a RF and a top of the order hitter. Yup.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) WWE announced that Roman Reigns underwent surgery today in Tampa for a broken nose that was suffered during the brawl with HHH at the end of Raw last night. Not many details were listed in the story at WWE.com. I wonder if they're going to keep him off tv for a few weeks to shield him from the boos. If so that's super sad.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) This is like if they tried to shove Rocky Maivia down our throats when he first debuted. The fans aren't wanting to be apart of the show, they're just letting the powers that be know that this isn't what they want. They could easily turn him heel, but he sells merch so they won't. They're going to try to "stack the deck" against him at WM, hoping that fans will see the light. They wont. We'll find out how it sounds to hear almost 100,000 people boo a guy after winning the title. Does he sell a ton of merch? Honest question, I've never read that before. Either way, I think this is just VKM being stubborn more than anything else. In other news, why the hell wasn't KO on the show last night?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 06:43 AM) Disagree. His acting is horrendous. He cannot cut a promo. Watch his first backstage promo last night re:Ambrose. So so bad. He can get over when he doesn't talk much and is just a badass. That's not his character anymore though. Agreed. I like watching the guy's matches but he sucks at every other part of pro wrestling. His promos and acting are just so god awful that I can't get behind him.

I didn't get to see a lot of the show tonight but very cool that Shane is back. Please no on an AJ-Jericho team and I heard the main event segment was actually pretty good tonight.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Just turn it off come main event time. Still a lot of intrigue on the undercard. Ambrose/Lesnar, Owens, Styles, Kalisto, the women's division(hopefully sans Brie), New Day, etc. etc. I actually agree with you. I can't stand the main event and for the life of me I can't understand how they didn't bring up Enzo and Cass to feud with new day but switching Bray with Dean(if that is indeed the case) to face Brock changes the card big time for me. Brock-Dean, the rumored women's match and AJ-KO gives me 3 matches I can get invested in. Now watch none of those happen.

So what do you guys think the Mania card is going to look like now? HHH-Reigns Ambrose-Brock?(has to be at this point, right?) Taker-Cena I'm thinking but who knows Styles-Owens(might be wishful thinking but Owens is going after him on twitter already) Charlotte-Becky-Sasha Some type of US championship spot fest Andre the giant battle royal New day-who? What else?

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) What do people like about him then? Seems he would have been much better when Hardcore Championship was around Promos, character work, he's a good(not great worker), he just makes everything he does entertaining.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 10:26 PM) Maybe it's me but I despise Ambrose. Seems there is nothing special to him besides awful facial mannerisms. It's just you.

Who wants to complain on the internet with me?!? Ugh, f***in ugh.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) AJ vs Jericho was good. But wwe ppvs are rarely bad. This is an exception so far. Ya, I edited my post. Like I said, that E and C segment messed with my mind.

Two super fun matches to start the ppv and then hot f***in garbage since. EDIT: Sorry, Styles and Jericho was fun(though not sure why someone is kicking out of the clash already), the E and C segment threw my life out of whack.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Can't argue that, but my point remains. If Punk returns before WrestleMania 32, I'll by Justin, Kyyle, and scs the new Punk tshirts. I don't care for Ryan's schtick but they do the breaking the 4th wall s*** all the time in the indy's, just a different animal. And good, I could use a Punk shirt to add to my weird collection I'm bringing with me to Dallas.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) From what I read. From an article posted over a week ago, his injury was a 4 week thing. I have my doubts, but the dots that are being connected are highly interesting. Besides the Cena avatar thing, what other dots are we connecting? Trust me, I'd be the happiest person at Mania if it happened but it's not going to.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 20, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) I dunno, I think he's still an asshole. This just made him an asshole with fluid on his knee. TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE. I'm sure he is an ass but I'm willing to bet this had much more to do with his low contract demands than that did.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Feb 20, 2016 -> 09:59 AM) Maybe now that explains low salary? Ya this makes much more sense than "he's such an asshole that no one wanted him."

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) By mid June we will all be saying Avi was the least of our worries. No we won't. I like your optimism though!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) They got better without giving up anything. The Bulls haven't done that since 1995. They still possibly gave up a first round pick, that is something...maybe. And the Bulls piss me off more than anyone, no need to tell me that.
