QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) Tirico is a tenfold improvement over Patrick, Theisman is bleh, and Kornheiser can't be worse than McGuire. So to answer your question, I won't be happy with those 3, but it's a start and a MAJOR improvement over the last crew on ESPN. You arent replacing Tirico over Patrick, you are replacing Tirico over Al Michaels, Kornheiser and Theisman replacing Madden. Personally I think the 3 man team is a bit much, too many people tripping over each others sentences.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 10:36 AM) Thatta girl Bonnie!! lol.....as for that other stuff, I'm happy because I don't have to hear Patrick or McGuire next year in the booth. So you are going to be happy with Mike Tirico, Joe Theisman, and Tony Kornheiser?

www.czabe.com Looks like everything we knew in our pre-game shows, in game hosts, and sideline reporters will change next year. Oh yeah, and the guy I quoted was saying last week that Bernstein is or was screwing a head coach and helping him into a divorce, and CBS wasnt happy with how it was shaking out. Quote:

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 06:57 PM) This is a funny thread. For someone like myself, who has seen damn near every wrestling show since I was a kid, it's interesting to read the thoughts of people who used to watch it, or people who sometimes catch it. Lot of weird comments. Can you pin it as "The Wrestling Thread"?

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 01:38 PM) Not that I remember, but I could be wrong. TNA is made up of tons of former WWE stars, only Christian was worth a damn, so if he was, I wouldn't be surprised. No I just checked, and he wasnt.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) I can't stand TNA, but Monty Brown is one I think could make it big. He could easily get over in WWE. I thought Monty Brown used to be in the WWE?

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) I agree, that is why I was comparing actors to actors. Michaels, Hogan, Flair are all actors. There acting is a lot more physical than what you might see at the movies and they do their own stunts. However, it still is planned ahead of time and the outcome is predetermined. Professional Wrestling is not a Sport. It is sports entertainment. MMMMk. Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair are all actors who work in common jobs. Did I say that wrestling was a sport? Or did I say you cannot compare athletes to actors? Just because there is a script to wrestling, doesnt make these guys all actors. They are athletes, and just because they follow a script doesnt mean they can be compared to Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman. Horrible Comparison.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) And some guys NEVER get it. A lot of guys never get it. I think good managers like Cornette and Heyman can really help guys get over who are missing the mic skills. The manager is a dying breed - Daivari could be a good one, I think, if he drops the screaming in Arabic ( which he seems to have done already ). I agree, Daivari is a good manager. He is a wrestler besides being a manager, so he can actually get up on the mat and cause some havoc in the middle of a match. I havent heard Lashley cut a promo ever, so i cannot really comment on his in ring mic skills. he has been interviewed a few times on the side, but that doesnt really count. No one is ever good when they are interviewed by that ditz if you ask me. From what I read, Jim Cornette is not very well liked, but everyone loves what Heyman has done with the OVW. Ken Kennedy was almost on his way out when Johnny Ace got fired and Heyman took over, and Heyman came in and told Kennedy he was going to make him a star. I dont know for sure, but if Kennedy can stay healthy, I think he is going to be huge. He has that ego that the stars have, his mic skills are totally great, and he can wrestle. He is technical and big. Lashley will probably be a Goldberg type wrestler until he can get on the mic and cause someone to get pissed off, but thats fine. A dominator is always fun to watch until you can tell that the matches are being given away(ie. Goldbergs last 100 matches of his "streak"). Im glad for TNA though, Vince is always at his best under pressure. When there isnt competition, that Cat gets fat and puts his feet up.

Dayn Perry is one year late with this assessment, if you ask me. I was worried about Detroit at the beginning of last year. This year, not so much.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 11:35 AM) In a nutshell, 200 AB and this line: 276 .313 .330 .643 I don't mind that line nearly as much as Timo's though: 218 .266 .296 .562 179 AB Yuck, Yuck, Yuck. Yeah, Pablo and Timo wont have a combined 400 AB. Pablo and Mackowiak will. And that will be worth much more than 10 runs and 2 wins. Mackowiak in 2005 463 AB .272 BA .337 OBP .389 SLG .726 OBPS The bench will be much improved.

Im willing to give Lashley a little rope right now, he is still really raw and new. His in ring presence is pretty good, but some guys take a little while to get the microphone part of the job down pat.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) Would you rather bring back guys like El Duque and Timo so we can be worse next season? I think he would, he has been complaining about just about every move since the offseason started.

Its over now. CNN is reporting that Robida has died from his gunshot wounds

Yeah, this didnt exhibit any signs of ending on a good note. The kid definitely went out in a blaze of "glory". I wonder who the girl passenger was that he shot.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 09:42 AM) When people get busted for soliciting a prostitue or looking for kids in sting operations, why is not considered entrapment? I think the difference in this situation is the log of the conversation. I think the predator has to solicit them for sex or strongly hint at it before an arrest can be made. Alot of the guys who were interviewed sent the "fake" pictures of their genitals and were talking about what they were going to do with the 13 year old before they even came over. And at one point in the series, Chris Hansen said the explicit conversations on the internet were worth only a misdemeanor, but if they came over to the house looking for sex they were going to get busted for felony solicitation of a minor. I think they walk a pretty fine line, but the record of the internet conversation is the key.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11152602/ I suggest watching these videos. The sting operation in this exclusive is really amazing. I am really surprised that they got these sexual predators to sit down and be candid right after they got busted. And the jobs that these guys have, well they arent just poor scumbags off the street, teachers and federal investigators. Really shocking.

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) I don't have a problem with old time wrestlers still sticking around. Nobody gets upset when actors stick around past their prime. I would still go see a movie with Clint Eastwood or Paul Newman. Michaels, Flair, Hogan, Undertaker, etc... are just actors who entertain as well. It's just a different type of entertainment in which they as a group have to be quite athletic to perform. If they can still draw fans, I would keep cashing those paychecks as well. I heard the rumors about Bonds pulling out for the drug testing as well. Looks like he is still on the juice. Athletes and Actors cannot be compared. Not even close.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) And Alanis Morrisette probably would never have gottten anywhere without that show. Some people might think that would have been a good thing, but I like her. I looked at every member of the cast, and I only recognized her name. That kind of surprised me, you would think a comedy sketch show for kids like that would have spawned a few more recognizable stars after an 11 year run.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 10:56 AM) That show is older, so I doubt many here would remember it. I only kind of remember the VERY last year of it, and even with that I think it was pretty good. 1979-1990 was the run of the show(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078714/) Im only 27, am I getting old now! s***!

Im surprised that "You cant do that on television" isnt on more lists here. Double Dare wouldnt have their slime if YCDTOT didnt make slime cool. I always loved the skits that took place in the diner, with all of the bad food.
