  1. Breaking News: Rex Ryan took the Jets to Dave and Busters in Buffalo last night.

     

    (this is quite possibly the most asinine bit of background I've heard, they were insinuating that the Bills lead is because of this)

  2. Just rewatched the Mexican Hardcore Falls Count Anywhere Match (Ciclope/Damien versus Silver King/La Parka) from 6/1999 WCW.

     

    It's just a mind trip for so many reasons.

     

    First off, there's the sheer spotfest insanity of the match.  It starts with La Parka hitting Ciclope (who's just hanging out on the apron like this is a normal tag match) with a chair and devolves from there, including La Parka hitting a Hank Aaron sized chairshot on Ciclope's suicide dive outside the ring. Then not 30 seconds later, Damian breaks up a Silver King dive to the outside by throwing the chair into his face. THere's a spot where Silver King throws a trash can over the head over Ciclope's head (great toss too, it just went right over his head perfectly), and then did the Ultimo Dragon flip to the outside, landing on top of the trashcan and probably making Ciclope two inches shorter.. Poor Ciclope then takes a tornado DDT from the apron to the table on the floor. (Seriously, Ciclope took about 1 stupid/dangerous spot per 90 seconds here)

     

    Then you take it to the next level with Schiavone and Heenan just giggling over the whole match (including Schiavone caling Ciclope the Great Pumpkin) and just openly wondering why people keep getting up to take more abuse. Normally I'd be mad for them shitting over the whole thing, but the more that I think about it, this is the kind of match that deserves to be mocked and to have people wonder openly why anyone would keep getting up to do it. Finally Damien takes a powerbomb across two chairs that don't give AT ALL (he just really bounced off the seats of the chairs) 

     

    It's just eight or so minutes of mind numbing spot after spot that makes you wonder if the WCW brass walked around the locker room saying "Hey guys? One of our promos got cut, does anyone want to go out there for 10 minutes or so and kill themselves for the crowd's amusement?" It's just. man.. in the days of concussions/CTE etcetera it's almost cringe inducing.

     
    Still, if you';re into watching four people basically destroy each other and the announcers yukking it up the entire time, this match gets about 19,435 stars.

  3. Rugby League:

     

    Quarter Finals in the World Cup set: Australia-US, Samoa-Fiji, England-France, New Zealand-Scotland.

     

    Rugby Union:

     

    USA fall to New Zealand Maori (the B team for New Zealand, would probably beat at least some of the Top 10 Rugby teams, but it was close all the way to the end.. looks like New Zealand's main team would be looking to play a game in Philadelphia next year.. if USA can qualify for 2015, could see a big spurt of growth...

  4. Nocerina fans barred from a Serie C1 derby with Salernitana.. Nocerina fans attack their own bus and issue death threats in an attempt to get the game cancelled. 
     
    Yes, they attacked their own players because they didn't want them to play, because they couldn't see the game.
     
    These threats turned the derby game into farce, as Nocerina players fake injuries, causing them to use all three of their substituions in the first two minutes, and then five more players "limp off" in the next 20 or so minutes.. causing the game to be abandoned because Nocerina didn't have the required amount of players.
     
    The entire Nocerina board has resigned over this farce

    THere has to be accountability.. and there's been none.

     

    There needs to be an established process for dealing with matters such as this.

     

     

    His agent brought it up with the coach before Martin left the team.. and his reported attitude was "Go ahead and punch (Incognito)"

     

    If there are multiple folks doing it, you can't punch them all.

     

     

    The story about that has been amended to report that Ireland's suggestion came after Martin left the team.

     

    If multiple people are bothering you, that's what guns are for.

     

     

    yeah, that's all we need.
