  1. Personally I think you guys are way over-thinking the crowd thing. It has nothing to do with people cheering because they 'appreciate what they do' or fans are smarter. People cheer the wrestler that entertains them. When I was a young kid my favorite wrestlers were Great Muta, Sting, and Vader in WCW. Two were heels. I knew of course it wasn't real but there was no Internet to tell me who Muta was or how accomplished Vader was in Japan, I liked them because I found their matches entertaining. That's it. And its not a new thing the smart internet crowd invented and I don't think its a bad thing, as long as people are having fun I don't see the big deal. Some people go to the movies to watch the villains, fans shouldn't feel obligated to boo someone just because they are a heel, they aren't a paid studio audience.

  4. *smokes cigarette while blindfolded in front of the firing squad* Dear football fans We are gathered here today To get through this thing called the NFL season All-consuming presence the NFL It means old white men getting richer and that's not going to change But I'm here to tell you There's something else Meeting the Patriots A world of never ending sadness and rage You can always see Tom Brady's smug face, day or night So when you call up your drug dealer in Indianapolis You know the one, Dr. Here's the Suitcase of Quaalades You Ordered Instead of asking him how bad will the beatdown be Ask him how much of your pride will be left, baby 'Cause in this league Not many things are much harder than beating a mad Patriots team In this league You're on your own And if other teams' fans try to bring you down Tell 'em to FUCK OFF, because you're about to start drinking

  5. Once the kicking team touches it it's a dead ball. That's what I got. I think there's a rule quirk in there that the receiving team can try to advance it but cannot fumble it. Which seems idiotic but I think Aikman said it. Speaking of idiotic, Cam Heyward was fined 5k for writing Iron Head on his eye black in honor of his dad who died of cancer - you know, during Cancer Awareness month. So today....he has Iron Head written in his eye black. Fuck you, Goodell.

  11. Same here. I think the real problem with not letting guys "heel it up" is that it limits your options to protect a heel. For the most part, the WWE doesn't let guys heel it up too overtly. You don't see too many guys cheating, putting feet on ropes, trying to leave the ring, going for a chair, pulling the ref, etc. There aren't too many managers anymore and those that are around don't interfere in matches much (Lana). And there aren't a lot of stables or teams anymore. Taken together, that limits your options in a match. The options for most of the roster are heel pins babyface or babyface pins heel. Since heels don't win a lot of matches clean, they end up dropping too many falls I really wish someone like Rusev had a Sherri Martel in his corner instead of Lana. Sherri knew how to be a heel manager. She'd work overtime to distract the ref or interject herself every time Rusev seemed about to eat a pin. He'd still lose a lot of matches - by DQ - but he'd probably be better off than he is getting pinned by multiple times by Ziggler or Cena whenever the writers can't think of a more creative outcome.

  14. The NFL is at the point where the rules are so vague that the league can determine the outcome of games. Remember, wrestling is fake.

  16. Arguably, heels should not be entertaing enough for fans to want to cheer them.

  17. Well I think a major reason entertaining heels are being cheered more is due to a lack of good babyfaces. Sasha got booed plenty when she heeled on Bayley, but is anyone going to care if she attacks Charlotte or Paige on the main roster? There's no likeable entertaining faces to balance things. New Day has 10 times the personality of most of the people they go up against. They made Cena feel ancient when they were clowning him, and Cena was standing there like get off my lawn New Day. Of course these acts are going to be cheered over bland babyfaces.

  24. Music from original scores, not actual real life songs. We already have a thread for that. Tell the truth. You shit your pants the first time you saw Sephiroth. The more I think about it, the more I consider Those Chosen By The Planet to be Sephiroth's iconic theme but that will be labeled blasphemy by the One Winged Angel contingent.

  26. In Tabe's NFL, asking for a flag is a 10-yard penalty. I'm dead serious about that.Other rules in my league:1) Jumping offside stops the play, same as a false start 2) Throwing the ball into the ground on a screen pass is intentional grounding 3) kickoffs (when kicked from normal spot) that go out of the back of the end zone on the fly get spotted at the 35 4) Quarterback hand gestures, neck bobs, and leg raises designed to fake a snap are a false start 5) pick routes will be tightly called as offensive pass interference 6) "half the distance" offsides penalties are an automatic 1st down 7) Offensive pass interference will be more tightly called and will include loss of down as well 8) I'm not sure how to word this but somehow I want to limit yardage on defensive pass interference and eliminate intentionally underthrown passes to try and create PI calls the defense can't possibly prevent

  33. The way I look at it there's a segment of the audience who appreciates good work, regardless of whether they are a heel or face. When someone like Sasha or New Day are bringing it, they will start getting cheers for their heel tactics. For some reason this audience hasn't realized the way to appreciate a heel is by booing them out of the building.

  36. My only problem with this week's episode was that the resolution came too easily. Kermit only had to spend about two minutes to figure out a solution. Seemed like they spent too much of the episode with everyone loving partying with Piggy that there wasn't enough time this week for Kermit to figure out a way to fix it, like the Josh Groban episode. Besides that, I find the show pretty charming. I'm not confident it will get renewed, but some of the extreme reactions against this show are really misplaced. This isn't exactly Michael Bay's The Muppets here.
