This game was officially the Banana... (tm Pat Patterson) https://www.espn.com/soccer/match/_/gameId/732589

Jomboy's gonna have a two part special on that Kentucky-Texas A&M game A bit of explanation: The SEC has a rule that on getaway days, no new inning can start after 4:30 PM, to allow teams to get back to school for classes. Kentucky was beating Texas A&M 10-5 in the 8th, but deliberately delayed the game before getting the third out so no ninth inning was played. Personally, I feel claiming the win in this way is a chickenshit maneuver, you're up FIVE runs. If it happened in the pros, there would be at least one fastball right at the small of the back of a Kentucky hitter. Probably two.

yup.. have been for months

If AEW's merchandise people don't have a picture of a thundercloud and the type of bird handy, they're missing the boat. (Thunder Tits!)

Less is more with Cena, because that was one hell of a promo. Shades of Mick Foley's anti-hardcore run in ECW. He's doing what a good heel should do, use a twisted version of the truth to feel perfectly justified in what he did and what he plans to do.

Honestly, they should bring back L.A. PARK and have him feud with new La Parka: "I fought La Parka, I bled with La Parka, we nearly killed each other. You want that name, you have to earn it, just like they did"

If you can't stomach it because of Knight, here's something way more wholesome: https://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-College-Footballs-Rivalry/dp/0316278246 (Army vs Navy) https://www.amazon.com/Last-Amateurs-Playing-Division-Basketball-ebook/dp/B001IZC3OW (Patriot League College Basketball)

The Mavs only had 8 players dressed for last night's game. If they had got into foul trouble.. eek.

So, in the space of 24 hours: Kyrie=Gone for year AD=Rumored to be shut down for the year after 1 game Hardy=Out for Months add exum out, losing Moses Brown because they couldn't sign anyone to a 2nd 10 day contract, a restriction that was up through April 10th.., oh, and they don't control their own first round draft pick in 2027-2030... oh and they're giving their big name fans in a lot of cases a double digit percentage increase in ticket prices. This is like crossing a black cat while stepping on a crack while walking under a ladder while smashing seven mirrors levels of "oh god, we're screwed" (worst joke I've heard: "Kyrie Irving's ACL is a Karma-Chameleon.. it comes and goes.. it comes and goes..."

"Look, it takes money to screw over the fans in such a way. It ain't cheap"

While politicians looked to be the run away winner for "Chutzpah of the Year", the Mavericks are a dark horse candidate gathering steam. The Mavericks said season tickets will go up by an average of 8.61% next season and the increase is due to "ongoing investments in the team and fan engagement." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44096093/mavericks-raise-ticket-costs-cite-investments-team-fans

Record pain, rochamboux, Cena just punted Cody Rhodes Whoooa ow....

LeBron James is somehow STILL performing clutch chasedown blocks in crunch time in YEAR TWENTY FUCKING TWO. Test that man. Not for drugs.. for the fountain of youth. https://x.com/JoseLAL23/status/1896425666670919994

Also, Regarding IShowSpeed, look at the treatement he got in the Rumble compared to what minor celebrities get in AEW (and folks here know I am close to an AEW fanboy).. to be somewhat fair to AEW, AJ is a former indy wrestler, but he won a pre-show match, and is getting a second match at Revolution (again, pre-show, but..).. I'd say WWE treats non-wrestling celebrities a bit more "realistically" (in that they show that yeah, celebrities aren't wrestlers, Logan Paul notwithstanding)

Not sure if this should go into this or the regular vidya thread, but NWN (the original one, although the enhanced edition) just got a DLC release of a whole new campaign if you can believe it. PLus there are indications on Steam that NWN2 is also going to get an enhanced edition

So, the biggest college tournament in March is happening next weekend. No, I'm not talking about that rinky dink March Madness shindig.. I'm talking something way more important.. the COLLEGIATE CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP. Who ya got? I'm rooting for Navy myself, but rumor has it they'll be disqualified for illegal practices when they swab the decks... https://collegecurlingusa.org/nationals/

Think of it this way, if so many people are turning on you, that must mean you're having a great career, right? I mean, unless you're teaming with the Big Show 10 seperate times..

Think some of it is that he's the son of a legendary character (in all senses of the world). Also that he absorbed all the shit that WWE gave him (Legacy, "Dashing" Cody Rodes, and Stardust) without sabotaging matches, trying his hardest to get over, and then instead of badmouthing WWE, went elsewhere, and proved what WWE was missing out on him, and came back and hit a homerun even with the shitty-ass neck tattoo. Combine that with working super injured in hell in a cell, and he's a natural, super-organic babyface

This randomly popped up in my youtube feed, a ref was mic'd up for a Sunday League championship game. I thought the ref was real aggro at the start of the video, but watching some of the stuff that happens, I guess he figures he had to be that way, because the players are always doing the micro-aggression thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NJHc9ozk7s

IShowSpeed not only volunteered at the Rumble to get killified by Bron Breakker, but took a Belair hairwhip. No one can accuse him of not paying his respect to the business) https://www.tiktok.com/@biancabelairwwe/video/7467640265822588202?lang=en

"I was your voice... but what did it get me? Run out of every place I went. I did what the fans wish they could do. I guaranteed myself a spot in history. The main event at Wrestlemania. And every fan out there who claims I sold out? If they were in my position, they would do the same damn thing. They just never had the talent, ability or drive to make their soul worth buying. Yes I made a deal with the devil, but I'm walking in to Wrestlemania's main event because of it. I'll be the one holding that title high as the stadium fireworks got off. And I want all those fans out there to look deep, deep into that shriveled husk they call their souls, and admit, that they'd do the same thing in an instant. I'm not a hypocrite.. all of YOU are." (sorry about doing the promo thing, but it was just running through my mind

That Heyman will be in his corner for the main event, or Roman Reigns interferes to help Punk?

Sounds to me like it's going to be Punk vs Cody, as Punk finally sells out because he wants to main event Wrestlemania. He mentions that someone offered to buy his soul, but didn't go into details.. and him telling Cody to reject the offer means that HE gets the offer.

What a fucking finish in England-Scotland
