Lewis was a drug cheat, totally cannot be considered alongside Owens and Phelps.
Wasn't the whole Hitler/Owens showdown a fabrication of the press, and Owens later said that he liked Hitler, he at least congratulated him whilst FDR never invited him to the White House?

Boomers gonna be shit hot in Tokyo, add in Exum, Simmons and Maker to that line up. Can't see too many missing from the current one, Bogut aside.

Agreed the match was awful, but fuck it, I want them to sign the Scottish Jewish guy and give him a Scrooge McDuck gimmick.

Conor and Money Mayweather putting their differences aside to run rougshod over the road to Wrestlemania all the whilst running scared from Brock Lesnar retribution would be just the best.

The two WCW ones I can think of are Goldberg winning the US title from Raven and beating Hogan. They both got huge pops.

AJ/Dean/Cena triple threat makes the most sense to me, if for no other reason than extending the Cena/AJ feud and not going down the tired route of Cena gets his win back twice. AJ costing Cena the title leading to a visual Dean pin on Cena seems to do more favors than not. Especially in comparison to the awful alternatives.

I think what we sleep on when talking about the fans wanting "their guy" to be the WWE's guy, is that it means something when they do.
That's a rarity in wrestling at the moment. Things that actually matter. Amongst guys wrestling each other in a 4358092 series of meaningless matches, stipulations that aren't adhered to, the same revolving door of the same faces, you tune in when you see something that matters or hope that it has the potential to matter down the track.
I don't think hardcore elements of the fan base would be so eager to clammer for their guy to get to the top and see something meaningful, if there were a far greater sense of importance placed on everything surrounding it.

Burned through season one of Ballers over the last 2 days and i must say i really enjoyed it. I could easily pick out a dozen plotholes but that would take all the fun away. Thought it hit it's stride in eps 7-10 and am looking forward to s2.
Yeah pretty much.
I mean its fairly obvious to me that the majority of the early stuff is "plotlines we forgot to do for Entourage", but late in the season it gets pretty good.-

As if Lesnar coming out tomorrow night on RAW, calling out Mark Hunt to no response, then calling out Roman Reigns to no response, and deciding he wants "any other Samoan who wants to fight" and ending up in a pull apart with Samoa Joe doesn't get Austin/Tyson style replays all over ESPN

Diesel '96 seems to make the most sense here as far as Reigns' path. Him and Ambrose re-doing Good Friends, Better Enemies seems a good way of putting Ambrose over someone when it matters too.

David Lee or Jermaine O'Neal apparently :S

Looking at that list of free agents remaining, there isn't a hell of a lot I'd like to see at the end of "LAKERS SIGN _______". Speights is an obvious one, Allen Crabbe yes. McAdoo and Clark yes. Xavier Munford on value for money alone.
Rest just make me shudder.
-
I'd rather be the Sixers.
It's a bunch of guys unsuccessfully fighting for their careers that they probably don't deserve rather than a bunch of overpaid guys pretending to want to be there.
-
Just one signing from the Lakers that doesn't make me want to vomit with rage, and feel obliged to drink it back up.
Mozgov....Deng.......Calderon.......fucking why. -
Is it wrong that I borderline dislike the Mania 13 match but love the Survivor Series one so much more?

From a storytelling perspective, I think it hurts. WWE's two go-to storylines are the immovable object meeting the irresistible force, or how can ______ overcome the odds?
There's not a lot of odds to overcome, if the immovable object just got knocked the fuck out a few weeks earlier.
Unless there's something bigger happening (i.e. Hunt involvement at WWE level), you also end up with a majority of your crowd chanting for a guy that's not one of your own, for an angle that's probably unlikely to be delivered on.

According to Stephanie, guys that lose in UFC lose their drawing power. Yet somehow in the dying PPV business, the UFC is going to have to open new bank accounts to put all the money they are going to make off of Lesnar, McGregor and Rousey in the next few months.
McGregor and Rousey have somewhat justified excuses for their losses though, and you want to see those rematches.
Lesnar having already lost two decisive fights, and now a third makes it a bit more difficult to justify. -
My issue isn't so much that he's going to compete at a UFC event, so much as is it seems far too early to be promoting his Summerslam opponent before the fight result is known.
Let's say Lesnar gets destroyed by Hunt in the opening round. His value to UFC is now severely compromised, is it not a better long term business decision to go with a Lesnar vs underdog opponent for Summerslam rather than a Lesnar vs established guy match, that further contributes to his negotiating leverage being diminished? As unlikely as it is to occur - imagine that Hunt taps Lesnar. Can you then go with a match against a guy like Gable where not only is it still a hyped match in the IWC, but the storyline being "can this underdog tap Lesnar too?", and if it bombs at the box office, so be it, good luck negotiating your next contract, Brock.
TL;DR, would have been better for WWE to wait and see the outcome of the UFC matchup, if not to avoid looking like shitstains if Lesnar has to pull out, but also to further their own business advantages.

Coming from someone who has no serious idea about how NBA contracts work - isnt it a little strange that Durant only signed for 2 years with an opt out? He is basically only committing to GSW for one season yeah?
So whats the plan then? Go all in for a championship next year then opt out and then go get paid somewhere else? Join up with the next "super team"??
I dont understand why GSW would take that risk either. It's not like the Lakers with Howard where they were trying to convince him to stay out of desperation or whatever it was. GSW are already a top team. Why blow it up for only a single locked in season?
Glass half empty situation is pretty much what you're suggesting. Glass half full I assume is just giving himself an opportunity to get more money when the cap extends next year? The Curry deal is going to be very interesting next year also.
-
It also has a very high chance of pointing out that the guy that no-one on the WWE roster has gotten close to beating in the past 4 years just got destroyed by a "real" fighter.
Reminds me of the Tyson/Buster Douglas SNME scenario in 1990. -
It's dumb as they've painted themselves into a corner. For the Summerslam matchup to be that much more valuable at the conclusion of UFC 200, Lesnar either has to either murder Hunt in the cage, or there's a rematch between the two at Summerslam. Both of which look highly unlikely. Anything else is at best significantly devalues Lesnar's WWE appearance.
-
How fucking amazing would this be if Durant pulls a Deandre on them, after they've basically blown up the team to accommodate him.
West and potentially Pachulia joining them. Wonder who pays 60 mill too much for Ezeli? Speights would be a great pick up (I'd almost be content paying Speights the money the Lakers did on Mozgov). Barbosa I expect would stay. Rush on a vet minimum probably adds a bit of versatility, but dispensable.
-
They're announcing Lesnars Summerslam opponent on Smackdown.
Dumb. (unless UFC 200 is fixed) . Dumb. Dumb.

In hindsight my school were right to view me with suspicion if they read my emails from the communal school computer for an e-fed featuring a necrophiliac repackaging of Tugboat and The Big Bossman managed by Mr Fuji.

Based on this game alone, confident that we play off again for the Gold Medal, just as confident we get rolled by about 20 more next time around.
Based on every other Olympics where we look super good against everyone else, put up a valiant effort against the US, we'll get smashed by Lithuania in the semis.
