On Hockey Central a month or so ago one of them predicted 80 points which seems highly unlikely. I think anything around or above 60 points should be viewed as a great success.

Via telephone.

It looked like he took out a kid in a Cena shirt.

David West to the Spurs for the minimum. San Antonio thinks Golden State's little run this past season was cute.

Uhaa Nation?

It's really amazing how the Harts give no fucks about telling stories that make the family look batshit crazy and awful. The stories are amusing but I'd be mortified at people finding this shit out. Also, Nattie thinking Jim Neidhart is the most normal one in the family is amazing in its absurdity and almost peak-Nattie

That was an awesome show. I really can't believe they actually paid everything off with Balor winning, I really thought they'd chump him out for some inexplicable reason. That match was off the charts too. Kneejerk I think I liked it better than the Cena matches, less video gamey and Balor is probably my favorite male wrestler right now. I was blown away all night by how absurdly good Cole and Saxton were, it was like hearing Schiavone and Tenay calling a cruiserweight or Japanese match. They were incredible, they did so much homework and added so much to the show it was crazy. I have no idea how they mic'd the ring but I could hear almost every spot being called in the Divas match. The match wasn't bad either. I liked Jericho vs Neville and Balor as well, it did a lot to rehab my opinion of him. Clearly Jericho can still go and get all his shit in he just looks so horrible and fat. He's the new Barry Windham. Main was fun too, got good time and I loved the Kofi squash. 5 star squash.

You're not wrong.

Probably Bret because he was my hero as a kid and Vince obviously.

Alright, I need that Inoki tie. It'd go nicely with my Inoki cologne and red scarf.

I just went to get tickets for the NXT house show debut in Miami or West Palm and the ticket prices are $100, $50, and $20 for buildings with 8k and 5k capacities. Lunacy. Triple H has lost his mind, I can't imagine the $100 tickets doing well; no meet and greet is worth that. Unless they'll let you help Finn build his Lego pirate ship then maybe.

With Finn Balor on a pole inside of a steel Finn Balor. Also, San Jose drew about 5k.

Even with them drawing people from surrounding cities like Philadelphia and people flying in for the weekend, I don't see this as an "automatic sellout" some are saying. Maybe if they didn't have so many injuries they could but they're going to have to supplement the show with main roster guys to draw a huge number. I don't think people realize how truly enormous Barclays is compared to the places NXT has run before.

I have no idea what NXT can book that would draw well in Barclays. Finn vs Joe maybe but what else? This seems like an over reach.

Mr. Wick is one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Craig Ferguson is spectacular.

Stein is now saying the offer for Matthews from Sac is actually 64 million over 4 years which he should absolutely take and run.

Miami sent him there in the Dragic trade. Stein is saying the Kings are offering Wes Matthews 3/45 which is insane considering no one but Dominique has come back from that injury.

That is the whole reason you have Olbermann. If you restrict him from doing his commentaries there is zero point in even airing the show. No one's watching for the worsts or Bruno Bash, it's primarily to see Keith's monologue at the open. Olbermann is one of the 3 shows on the entire ESPN family of networks worth watching so of course they'll probably fuck it up. Stephen A and Skip Bayless have completely destroyed that company.

Wade 1yr/$20m to Miami. Good compromise and works out great for both.

Aldridge to Miami seems absolutely impossible without moving Bosh and I'd rather have Bosh.

It's hilarious to me that Sarver was on the cusp of a championship and pinched every penny he could and now that he has no realistic shot he opens up the vault.

A Dr. Jeckyl thing would be really really cool but I think it would be way too difficult, if not impossible, to pull it off in the context of US pro wrestling. I think the best we'll get is it being revealed Finn jumped Itami and him claiming the Demon did it with a wink and nod and maybe a bit more distinction between the two in regards to moveset. IRL Balor is such a nice guy that figuring out how to do the Jekyl/Hyde deal in a way that isn't absurd or stupid in the context of US pro wrestling would be make for a really intriguing storyline.

I like how Lebron is making Gilbert pay for the shit he stirred up during the last lockout. I've seen reporters say they could end up with a $100mm luxury tax bill and that is just insane. I'm certainly not a Cavs fan and not even really much of a Lebron fan but I really do love seeing a player have this kind of power over an owner.

Getting Dragic done this quickly at that number is a relief. I like the deal a lot.

Cousins, Rondo, and George Karl. What could possibly go wrong? I think maybe Vivek is trying to get Karl to resign or hang himself so he can back up a dump truck full of money for Cal.
