I may have to look into that. She's the only one that's really annoying me thus far. Be nice if I could feed her to a mirelurk or something. Did you build her chair? If you do, you can just put it somewhere out of the way, and you'll never really have to deal with her. She doesn't bother me at all, because she just sits in one of the random ass houses I don't visit. I can't even remember the last time I thought about her.

DECEMBER 2015 WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD
supremebve replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
There isn't a single finisher in the entire promotion that makes me feel like it matters(OK, maybe the Pop-Up Powerbomb). I never need to see another spear, downward spiral variation, or a DDT that looks less painful than a regular old DDT. Is there a reason Ryback's Samoan drop is more devastating than all of the other Samoan drops we see all over Raw? Seriously, why is his Samoan drop better than the ones used by the Usos', Rusev's, or Roman Reign's Samoan Drops? Everything about their product is stale as three day old shit, I'm actually afraid to go into the "How Happy are You with the WWE Product," thread. I feel like I'd start typing and never stop. -
I tried to tell y'all that they shouldn't play Johnny, but y'all didn't want to believe me.

From what I understand he was known to be a little off, not necessarily a criminal, but if you were to ask anyone on the team "who is the crazy guy?" Greg Hardy would be everyone's answer. That's telling, considering he was on the team the same time as Steve Smith. Steve Smith just likes to fight, I don't think he's crazy. Greg Hardy most likely has something wrong with him. Steve Smith wants to make sure you know not to try him.

Survivor Series 11/22/2015 thread in case Rippa forgets.
supremebve replied to Ryan's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING
The only way I'll enjoy this is if Sheamus feuds with the New Day and Big E gets the next title shot. -
From what I understand he was known to be a little off, not necessarily a criminal, but if you were to ask anyone on the team "who is the crazy guy?" Greg Hardy would be everyone's answer. I'd be willing to bet there is one guy on every team, who excels at football, but couldn't function in a world where they couldn't be a professional crazy person.

I remember marking out huge for this spot. That was a hell of a match. Holy cow. I do not remember that at all... that's a huge move for that time in WWE isn't it? Especially a power bomb? Yeah, that is Survivor Series 1995, I don't know when the next top rope powerbomb happened in WWE. It might be One Night Stand in 2005. Survivor Series '95 is a forgotten great show, it is a blast to watch from beginning to end.

I was in Las Vegas around 2012 and wandered by a memorabilia store where Ernie was signing autographs. To the annoyance of my wife, I had to go in and meet him. What really struck me was when I shook his hand - this wasn't the gigantic canned ham fist of a heavyweight slugger. It was a regular, large but not freakishly so hand. I was legitimately stunned. Has anyone ever been to the Boxing Hall of Fame? They have a cast of a lot of boxer's fists on display, and you'll be amazed how huge some of those guys hands were. Sonny Liston's fist looked like three of mine.

Look man, if you want to go through life with your eyes closed, you go ahead and keep them closed. I have my eyes wide open, and I see everything that is going on. If a quarterback is dehydrated he is obiously a reptilian invader coming to take football from us humans. I'm just taking the truth out of the dark and into the light.
-
This is doubly hilarious to me because Blake Bortles went into the locker room during the game because of dehydration Am I the only one dubious of anyone who has to be treated for dehydration? Drink a glass of water, you'll be OK. Seriously, how long did he go without drinking water? An hour? Two hours? Six hours? He should still be OK. Unless you are sick, you should be almost immune from dehydration unless you are just not drinking any water. He's a professional athlete, he should be drinking water.

Games you wish existed (but don't)
supremebve replied to SirFozzie's topic in COMPUTERS & GAMES & TECH
A Bethesda game where your character has superpowers. You pick a base of 2 basic powers to start, maybe super strength and flight or invulnerability and super speed, or telekenisis and some sort of energy blast. You get stronger and learn new powers as you go through a huge, crazy ass world, solving crimes and beating up super villians. What the hell is taking so long for them to make this game? It is basically free money, we'd all buy that game. -
Fun Fact: Earnie Shavers is my cousin.

That's the thing the NFL knows the Jags and Titans have to get one national TV game so they schedule them against each other. How the Browns got two national TV games is mind boggling though. The game's gonna be a sloppy mess since it's supposed to rain all throughout the game tonight but I think they game will be better to watch than a Weeden or Cassel-led Cowboys team. But yeah a Jaguars game and a Titans game will never be interesting to the casual fan. That said the game will be interesting to fantasy fans as I'm sure The Allens (Hurns/Robinson) are on enough fantasy teams to make people care The Browns fanbase dwarfs most teams fanbases, so it isn't that big of a surprise to put them on natnional television. I don't know if they still are, but for a good part of the season more Browns jerseys were sold than any other team. They aren't good, but their following is huge.

It's so rare to find someone that has never seen the films, that I am legitimately looking forward to your take on each one. Empire Strikes Back is the bomb, loved every bit of it. I knew the ending (who doesn't?) but that took nothing away from it. Will probably have to watch it again to clarify but it enters the list of my favourite films ever. Would most people share this view? Now, do i follow on to episode II like 'machete order' says? Empire Strikes Back is a movie I've seen probably 100 times, and I'm always surprised about how damn good it is. It is the perfect 2nd act. My biggest problem with movies these days is that the stakes are never high enough, Empire Strikes Back raises the stakes of the Star Wars franchise higher than any other movie I've ever seen. A New Hope ended with a huge triumph, you felt like the Rebel Alliance had it made. Empire Strikes Back smacks the shit out of the Rebels and leaves them laying face down in the gutter, half dead, and bleeding from the mouth.

I have no idea how it is legal to charge processing fees for things that don't require any processing. I went to a baseball game, and bought the cheapest ticket available online. The processing fee was more than 50% of the price, but if you go to the stadium and buy a ticket you don't pay a processing fee. They don't charge you a processing fee when they actually have to pay someone to process your ticket purchase. They make you pay a processing fee when you use their automated system that saves them from paying an employee. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Ticketmaster is a huge scam, and I'm surprised they haven't gone out of business. That is the definition of price gouging.

It is Dana White's job to make people feel like they are watching a once in a lifetime event. He is trying to get as many people as possible buy his product. His job description should be delusional, shameless, hype beyond any reasonable justification monger. It is what he does. He was bitter, because he spent years telling people that Ronda Rousey is the best thing on two legs, now he has to figure out someone else to conduct his hype train. He's essentially Tony Shiavone calling every Nitro the biggest night in the history of the business. If you belive him, you are the sucker. You can complain that Dana White is a blowhard, but you should also know that the only reason his position exists is to be a blowhard. It is like being mad at a linebacker, because you don't think it's OK to tackle people.

Rousey is by no means a fraud when it comes to rational analysis of her skillset, but the pre-fight hype delivered by the UFC was extreme overkill with its anointment and deification of her as The Ravishing Chosen Once In A Lifetime Unstoppable Elite Athlete Who Could Beat ANY Fighter In Any Weight Class or Discipline. Combine that with the ridiculous media blitz (all the talk show appearances, discussion of a Hollywood biopic, her announcement as starring in the Road House remake), which resulted in a bit of overexposure that was bound to annoy a fair share of people, we're now seeing a reaction against that. I changed majors in college, after starting late to begin with, so I was in entry level classes with freshman when I was about 25. I was in a class about media criticism and about halfway through the lecture a girl raised her hand and asked, "So what you are saying is, that there is no truth in advertising?" She asked it like she was surprised that people were lying to her, and the professor damn near shit himself. He looked at this poor, impressionable, 18 year old like she had just asked him to drop his pants so she could see if he was circumsized. He couldn't believe anyone could possibly be that naive. If you believe anything a fight promotion says about their fighter, you are dumber than that poor girl, and you kind of deserve to be disappointed.

My favorite Larry Homes fight took place in a parking lot.

People carrying on like either Holm is David killing Goliath or Ronda Rousey was exposed are both wrong. Holly Holm is a really good fighter, who beat Ronda Rousey by using her superior boxing to the fullest extent possible. Rousey couldn't box with her, and she lost. Holm wasn't David, she was another giant who wasn't as famous, and didn't have a super cool name like Goliath. Ronda wasn't exposed as a fraud either. She is insanely good at what she does, Holm didn't allow her to do what she does. I think this is an example of people's ignorance when it comes to MMA. Everyone loses, because everyone has a weakness. Chael Sonnen almost beat the best fighter of all time, because his wrestling was better. Chael Sonnen has never beat anyone who was in their prime, but he came as close to beating Anderson Silva as anyone had ever come in the UFC. Silva wasn't exposed, he fought someone who was really good in an area he was average. That is the sport, sometimes you have to fight someone who is better than you at something, it doesn't mean you are a fraud.

So the best baseball players of my lifetime are Barry Bonds, A-Rod, Ken Griffey Jr., and Roger Clemens. Griffey is probably the only one who will get in the hall of fame, and that is why we can't have nice things.

You clearly don't understand how things like this work. There was some controversy about a Jay-Z/Beyonce tour a couple of years ago, because the tickets were priced so high. I believe all of those shows sold out. The price point for a ticket is generally the highest price they can charge, but still sell out. If the Dixie Chicks are your favorite band, and they may never go on tour again, odds are people are going to pay those prices. I wanted to go to the Atlanta Outkast show that finished off their last(hopefully not final) tour. The tickets were reasonable, but they were also gone as soon as they went on sale. They could have charged triple, and I think they'd have sold out just as quickly. They are a lot of people's favorite rap group, and they don't tour often. They could have charged any damn thing.

For me, its that the CTE issue has been raised and you see guys walking with canes has elevated my personal awareness. Not saying its not a damn dangerous game and people get hurt, but knowing that and seeing the results more and more, it takes the "romance" out of a guy staying too long. . . . . and with Manning specifically its not like this is the first time its been mentioned. Especially since he admits to not having feeling in parts of his fingers. I guess, but every single player in the NFL is getting hit in the head over and over again. Who is the Bronco's starting left guard? That guy is in far more danger than Peyton Manning when it comes to CTE. Manning is an old ass quarterback, who has been terrible this season, he isn't an invalid. He isn't in any more danger than anyone else.

I like how Peyton Manning playing football is morally wrong, like all those other dudes who are shortening their lives is fine and dandy. There have been two lacerated kidneys this season, and no one blinked an eye. Peyton Manning tears a plantar fascia, and he's going to die on the field.
