I attributed this quote to Scott Ian who I guess took this from a quote from Lemmy himself: In 1975 he told Sounds that Motörhead would be “the dirtiest rock’n’roll band in the world. If you moved in next door, your lawn would die.” More than 30 years later, Spin asked him to elaborate on his vision for the band. “I stole that quote from Dr. Hook. In truth, if you lived next door to us in those days, you probably would’ve never stopped to see if your lawn was dead — you would’ve just moved out because of the fucking racket,” he explained.

Bit of an oversimplification; I'm not going to go look it up, but didn't Bradley start with Chad Henne, Old MJD and Justin Blackmon's first DUI vs Chip who had the various *Seans and a pretty darn solid defense? And I still think Jax is good within two years, assuming everybody keeps their extracurriculars in moderation.

It's best when they announce the ICMG and Chuck Taylor screams out "You're from Kentucky!" at Ricochet. It's true, he's from small town Kentucky, Swann's from Baltimore though and grew up in horrible crap.

Best thing for me about Christmas, food and family. Only few years ago learnt I liked mince pies so made up for lost time this go around ; ).

Not a big Christmas for us as money is tight all round but I did pick up a nice Edmonton Oilers cardigan I wear around the house a lot because it's COLD in Canada, a $50 Amazon gift card, and a flash drive. A few other small things, but all of it was at least on point. The one gag knick knack I got made me laugh. A lot of candy because my mom's goal is to kill me with food and I'm not about to stop her. This was the first year in a while I didn't get a single thing from a relative that made me question whether they liked me or not so I'm calling this a win. I also ate enough at Christmas dinner that I should have won some sort of goddamn prize right there. Do what you're good at, they said.

Sixers fans are insane. It's like we're rooting for a thought piece a opposed to an actual professional sporting franchise. Ish Smith is not a good NBA player. There's a reason why he's been on 10 teams. And why he was cut by Washington. And a back-bencher on a struggling Pelicans team. He has one certifiable NBA skill in that he can pass the ball. However, he can't shoot. is career total shooting percentage is 43.4%. That's awful. He's short and his defense is really limited, to say the least. He has one certifiable skill that keeps him from above 10-day contract status. He feels like the literal definition of the word "replacement player." Yet, a guy that bad is actually and actively making the team better. That is how badly Hinkie botched the guard roster. He also said in his interview with Lowe that he was counting on Kendall Marshall to start the season healthy and act as the team's elder statesman. I mean, Kendall's not the worst guard ever but he shouldn't be the guard you're counting on to help develop players. Especially since, before this season, he played the equivalent of 1.5 seasons. Trading two second round picks for Ish Smith seems like a steep haul but, legitimately, that's their best option since they've essentially decided to completely become as island compared to the rest of the NBA economy. The one guy Sixers fans point to as a sign of Hinkie's supposed genius in finding undiscovered gems is Robert Covington. Cov was decent last season but has fallen off a cliff since he returned from injury. To say the least. He's shooting himself out of the league. And his defensive metrics are terrible, too. And he's a turnover machine anytime he has to put the ball onto the floor. Maybe he regains his form but there's also a good chance last year was the mirage. Stauskas can't play in the NBA. He's terrible. That deal to get him is mitigated because it came with draft insurance, but he's really bad. I'll still take a wait-and-see on Nerlens and Okafor as a pairing. They've played maybe 25 games together and have done so with the illustrious likes of TJ McConnell, Phil Pressley, Tony Wroten and Isiah Canaan trying to run the offense. But, yeah, they might not work out together. And the first 1/4th of a season has been pissed away in trying to develop them. Like... Hinkie's really not good at judging potential NBA talent. He's good at hoodwinking draft picks. But he hasn't turned any of them There's a reason why the Sixers are 2-30. It's because they are an awful collection of NBA talent. It's year three of redoing this and the team is as far away from winning a NBA championship as any team has ever been in league history. That's not an exaggeration. Yet so many Sixers fans are completely and totally fine with this. The most commonly cited example for Hinkie's philosophy has been OKC. But they never had the number one pick. The best player in the world right now famously was picked at 7th. The only number one pick on GSW was Andrew Bogut, who they didn't draft and is a role player. Marc Gasol was first team All-NBA last season and was a friggin' second round guy. It certainly makes things easier to have a top pick. But even if you do get the lottery balls to turn up your way, you might just have the random year where genetic coding doesn't leave you with a transformative player. And, getting a great team around even with a franchise player is hard. Anthony freakin' Davis only made the playoffs last year because KD got hurt. He's not sniffing the playoffs this season, and that's with a roster of credible NBA talent around him. And we also need to stop with thinking Joel Embiid will become a quality NBA player. There's a chance he might not ever play professional basketball. No player has ever sat out two years in a row and done anything. He's a 7-foot dude with a recurring foot injury. That's not something to count on. Hinkie has drafted two NBA-caliber players (one of whom has already participated in a series of troubling incidents) who might not pair well together. He has a 21-year-old guy in Turkey who might become decent. He's amassed a bunch of lottery tickets. But he hasn't unearthed anyone who can help a team and, in fact, has brought in a bunch of players who have contributed to what could be the worst team in NBA history. Like, seriously, Ish Smith is the ray of hope. And also pissed off every agent and the league administration to the point where they had to broker a deal to bring in a 75-year-old man to oversee things for a bit. I will say this: They are insanely interesting. They do have that.

Having sklba dominating this thread reminds me of having Gonzalez around. It sucked then and it sucks now. Is it March yet?

I swear I read someone in this thread say that in the last 13 years he hasn't seen anyone say that was a really good/great episode of Raw. If I read that right, that is the biggest load of horseshit I've seen on here in a long time. Look, on the reg, Raw isn't good, but dammit, there's been some great episodes of Raw this year. That's the case every year. It's what gets our hopes up that creative has figured things out before they shoot themselves in the foot again. So if anyone thinks that not one person has heaped praise on an episode of Raw, then they aren't paying attention.

This is how the Batcave should look. From now on this is how the Batcave looks.

Aaron writes the more fun comics, the ones I'd rather read.

If there's one thing I have never gotten tired of in my years of being active on these boards and just lurking is the "board policeman" trope. You know the one I mean. The poster who loves to slap down anyone with an opinion and does it with enough edge to give off an "edgy" vibe. That thing I just said above is a lie.

I'm not trying to shout anyone down or say anyone shouldn't be able to post about something, I just wonder how seriously anyone should take comments about the current state of RAW when they're coming from someone who hasn't watched since a still-active Steve Austin was feuding with Eric Bischoff and his lackey Chief Morely.

As many of the professionals who have escaped working for the WWE have mentioned, the environment is utterly unique. I am not a fan of WWE any more, but I am fascinated by all the strange aspects of it as a business and product. What other show has done what the WWE has done? How many other programs have treated talent and fans so poorly and yet remained in business for so long? All that type of stuff is so interesting to me. I try and keep a breast of the comings and goings of the show by reading results in 10 or so minutes...and after doing such I am at an utter loss as to who in their right minds could actually keep watching it. It sounds dreadful. Yet millions do. It makes it all that much more interesting. I made a mistakes, it's been 13 years since I watched Raw now that I really think about it. Treat the fans so poorly by...hiring indie dudes and giving them a weekly platform to perform on a stage that more people see in a week than years of work before that? And pay them well? Man, those dickheads at WWE giving Daniel Bryan the title at WM30. Those JERKS. What kind of weird entitlement do you have to have to think WWE is personally spiting you by not giving you exactly what you want all the time? On a show you don't even watch for 10-13 years? KO and Neville have had a few TV matches in the last month or two. They didn't need to have another. Instead, they had an angle that makes their next match actually mean something, as well as progressing the KO/Ambrose story. It's a strange reaction to have to a show you don't even watch, and had you watched, it would have made a lot more sense.

Following on from top of page 29. My daughter is a fucking machine. not in the same way as brian cage, but it was insane to see her bounceback-ability. We woke her at six, gave her a glass of water and set off for the hospital. Got there and got her changed into her gown and she immdeiately said she wanted to stay the whole day...as there was a tv "in her room" and she didnt have one at home like this... A bevy of questions later from three different people and Mr Jones drops by with a sharpie. To indicate which eye was the problematic one...cause...well, you know... One issue was that they only allowed one parent to go to the theatre with her - she chose mummy, but realised that daddy couldnt come with when she closed the door and i stayed...cue waterworks - from both mummy and caitlyn. i had to stay strong to show her that it wasnt an issue so i was holiding back manly daddy tears to show her it was okay. worst. hour. ever. one hour later she apparently woke up, saw mummy and decided she wanted to get out of bed - however her arms and legs didnt quite work properly after surgery - she was drowsy. so mummy got a free bed ride back up to the ward to ensure caitlyn didnt stage dive from the bed. She was as high as a kite that had done a lot of drugs. High as a motherfucker. but came down within a half hour, was drinking water without issue, then had a mammoth bowl of krispies and milk and kept it all down. She chilled on her bed, raising the height of it all the way up to the top so we couldnt see the tv, then decided she wanted to go home. one lunch later and we were back at home watching sleeping beauty and sorting out the eye from weeping. Turns out, there was a blockage in the top tear duct (news to me, as i only thought there was one duct that fed the eye) which was cleared and all the shite pissed out of her eye meaning theres no longer this thick green ectoplasm squirting out like slimers finally found his happy button. so yeah - lead up to christmas time and all that and she's in and out within a day. SAWTED. Let's hope this is it and theres no blowback, as it were.

caley's last post is kinda funny for me, because I fell asleep multiple times during Once Upon A Time In Anatolia. I don't blame the movie, though. It was at an 8:45 am screening and I think I'd been up a little late the night before. Probably deserves another look.

I'm SOOOOO hype for this Kings/Sixers game tonight! The combination of good stats and bad basketball will be incredible to watch. Daily fantasy is a blessing and a curse. Do you know what the average ball handling guard does against the Kings defense?!?!? Have you seen Boogie's stat lines against the Sixers!!!???!!! AHHHH! Edit: If even one more person was screwing around with NBA DFS I would probably make a separate daily fantasy thread, but it's just me as far as I can tell so y'all are going to have to deal with this shit here.

In his last two fights, Condit started really slowly. It cost him against Woodley whereas Alves didn't stop Condit from gaining momentum. Lawler really isn't going to be interested in a technical striking battle. I think the Lawler at the end of his Strikeforce probably would have played into that game, but I don't think that's as likely now.

I think I only caught the end of one episode after the season premier of Into the Badlands. They were kidnapping the kid with the powers. Even though the fight was great, it didn't draw me in any further. Also, since we got seasons three and four of The Sopranos on DVD for Xmas I've been binge-watching. Some of the best and funniest things in season four are still the intervention for Chrissy which turns into an airing of grievances, with the best response being from Silvio, read horribly stilted: "One morning when I was opening the club I saw you with your head half in the toilet. Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IBPbAfkeE And still one of my favorite lines spoken by the old bum after the gang members kick everyone out of the crackhouse:

This.. Also, I have a protectron that serves me ice cold beer at Sanctuary now, so I've gone into the beverage industry. I.....I have been playing this game all wrong... Does it only bring you one at a time? That's no good. We all know "2 beer" is the way to go. It takes 2 beer kinda liberally, like somebody we both know. Gives me 40 at a time.

Dallas is a constant joy. Carlisle is just below Pop in the Best Coach Alive list. They will always be good until Dirk hangs it up. And even after, probably, since Carlisle is awesome.

Did you see the PWG show where they had the announcer call them multiple team names aside from the ICMG? D-Generation (Malcolm) X The (Martin Luther) Kings of Wrestling Of course they were wrestling AR Fox and ACH. The African American Wolves. PWG makeshift tag names are the best.

League of Denial is pretty good. Anyway, anything other than a straight up depiction of a Goodell beheading is not satisfying Bill Simmons. Having finally seen League of Denial I'm a tad more on Simmons' side. Had I known the ENTIRE story, yeah I would have been a little disappointed they didn't go after the NFL more.

Bonus:

Vaudevillains vs Blake & Murphy is a strange one. The crowd was super-into it, sure, but I don't remember the match itself being anything special.

And then he and the other guards would have beat you. How many of the other prisoners do you think would jump to your defence? I get where you're coming from though. That's what makes these sorts of experiments so interesting to me. They really show us a side of people that we don't want to believe exists... Those guards were pretty tiny lol but I get what you're saying and who would have joined me? I don't know maybe it's because I live on the east coast and in liberal city but people around here and authority don't mix all that well.. I think there would be a riot within 10 minutes of the experiment and lawyers would be called.

The water will all splash out of the pool. Your deck will have Hep C

The fact they put Sasha/Becky at 15 shows how little WWE cares about real wrestling. To me that was bell to bell the most well wrestled match In WWE this year. I guess all the psychology and selling threw the list maker off. How in the hell did that match at #20 make the list? I guess a Bella match was mandatory but damn.

Ooh, now's a good time to take advantage of that sale. Sometimes it does pay to be patient.

I made a music video about the birth and history of NJPW up until the early 2000's:

I don't really disagree with anything you're saying, but do you really think you have the knowledge to comment on the results of RAW when you, by your own admission, haven't watched in 13 years? You have no idea what's actually going on. Reading results isn't the same thing as watching the show. Reading DVDVR reactions isn't the same thing as watching the show. Shouldn't you watch the show if you're going to bemoan how terrible it is?

Soap operas have spells of booking popular actors poorly and they managed to stay on the air for a while. There are even smark equivalent boards for soaps where they talk about their favorites being buried, how the old booking was better, which head writers were the best, what actors they'd like to see work together, and even bash people who seem to be getting pushes for reasons other than talent. It's a weird parallel to wrestling fandom.

IMO, the worst thing about getting old is watching your friends, family, and heroes die. Lemmy felt like all three. R.I.P. Lemmy Kilmister thanks for all the years of playing Rock 'n' Roll.

Patriots fans having such a victim complex is one of the best things in football.

You too, man. Thanks!

Are you sure it was coaching? Maybe he was just instructing the Boys some more in how to be men.

Yeah. He was aces. You... you.... YOU MONSTER! I'm just glad I didn't go with Mr. Wizard. Mr. Wizard is a dick.
