My God, it makes even the CZW Follies timeline look like George Scott-booked Mid-Atlantic by comparison: http://taimapedia.org/index.php?title=CZW_Follies Thank you, Caley and Clint, for those links. Cackled until I cried. Jeebus bless you both

Hypersensitive? Please Dude called him "shine box" and other sorts of racist bullshit repeatedly. Incognito is lucky Martin wasn't a young Mean Joe Greene as he would've had a railroad spike driven into his skull I'm not saying Incognito was in the right. But Martin seemed to take everything directly on the chin. Calling him hypersensitive was more observation than criticism. Hell, if I were to honestly assess myself, I'M hypersensitive. Ah, gotcha. My bad, Josh, for insinuating otherwise Still stand by statement that Incognito is lucky he wasn't dealing with a 21-year-old Mean Joe Greene Oakland fans know what it's like rooting for a dysfunctional franchise, so this one's for you Dolfan and other Bottlenose fans:

Cannot hear the name "Sid Caesar" without thinking, "lunatic who hung Mel Brooks out of an 18th-floor window"

Opine that Haley was never as great at his position as Harrison was, but to each one's own Never heard or read vocal and passionate support for Kevin Greene, odd given his place on an All-Decade team. Possible I've missed it. Still, I'd expect have heard something given the attention paid to Brown, Carter, etc.

When was Strahan ever the "good guy"? Glad Ray Guy made it. Dude proved that good punters made a great difference and was the best at his position in my lifetime Guy getting in for being arguably the greatest at his position raises a question that Costas, of all freakin' people, raised years ago — shouldn't Devin Hester make the Hall based on being the best there's ever been at his position? This year's final 17 candidates was insane as over half made an "All-Decade" team, and voters can only select five "modern day" players. Morten Andersen, Tim Brown, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, and Will Shields were the ones who didn't make it Surprised that Reed made it and Harrison didn't based on statistics and visibility (don't remember the Bills getting as much national regular-season coverage as the Colts did) Perhaps the homicide had something to do with Harrison. Perhaps it was more voters felt a need to finally get Reed enshrined Harrison will eventually get in. As Chase Stuart blogged after Carter was elected last season, 22 receivers had been picked since WWII, and only Lance Alworth, Raymond Berry, Steve Largent, Jerry Rice and Paul Warfield were first-ballot

HERE:

Bryan doesn't seem like the kind of cat who'd make waves, which makes me wonder if that radio interview Meltzer mentioned and tweets such as tonight's aren't part of some angle Hunter screws Orton out of the title at Elimination Chamber to get it on Batista (who was all buddy-buddy with Hunter and Steph last week) Bryan gets booked to face The Machine's hand-picked champion at WrestleMania A returning Hulk Hogan endorses Bryan, throws all the power of his Hulkamaniacs behind him, and foils HGH's interference, leading to Bryan winning clean before 70,000 deliriously happy fans at the Superdome! Perchance to dream. Now don't any of you bastards poop on said dream

YAY, PIRANESI! The reaction to this show is causing flashbacks to Mabel-licious 1995 King of the Ring in Philly

Rate the Browns are going, even Norv would tell them "nyet"....

"Terrible" ain't even the word for it. Ugh You spelled London wrong. . . Then where does Jacksonville go? Frankfurt? Dem folks loved them some Galaxy....

Daily News ain't perfect, but it doesn't spend their entire time trying to belittle or embarrass folks a la Deadspin. They take joy in that Deadspin has also stamped its feet and cried when it's been criticized (such as when ESPN foolishly belittled it's Te'o scoop) Do to others as you would have them do you is both an easy concept and way to live Switching gears, golldamn, the Browns' front office continue to depress DC Ray Horton fled to Tenny on Saturday, quite a loss for Cleveland as he's good Cleveland.com also reported that Adam Gase wants nothing to do with the organization. Assuming the latter is true .... quite disheartening when potential coaches keep turning you down (Kelly, McDaniels) Didn't know it was possible to be pissed off at another team's incompetence when they're not even the team you support Only explanation for the continued plight of Cleveland sports fans is that the city was built over a graveyard and only the headstones were moved....

They booked him as a whiner on NXT and he always lost. They sent him away after he choked Roberts with a tie. They had him lose at Wrestlemania in seconds. They saddled him with a silly "anger management" gimmick. They piled a "weak link" gimmick atop that. They "built" him up for the Cena title match by constantly harping on him being a short underdog. They booked Orton and others to bone him out of the title three straight times. They had be submissive to Bray Wyatt A normal man would've had his career Miz-zed by two-or-so of those instances. This magnificent bugger keeps rising above it and gets more popular. It's amazing Someone please explain how he's become so beloved. Dudes like Flair, Hogan, Bret, Austin, Rock, Eddie, Cena, etc., each had their own certain charisma. I cannot figure out Bryan's, other than he wrestles with the intensity of 10 men....

YEP Let's be realistic here - does anyone honestly think Saban is going to do something that jeopardizes his Death Star? Yes, things went to hell at USC at the tail end of 2012 and the start of this season Previous season, USC was tied for ninth in average total offense (6.6). Put that in perspective, it was tied with Oregon and Louisiana Tech, the latter which put up obscene offensive numbers and got Dykes and Franklin the Cal gig. "Downside" was that it was "only" 40th in scoring, as if 32.1 points is a fail Tied for ninth and was 16th in scoring (35.8) in 2011, too Bruce Feldman pointed out that Jonathan Crompton drastically improved at QB during his Tenny drive-by. That and, as Ms. LaRue noted,he'll be verboten to deal with the press and will learn from Saban, too Ain't going to be too hard, either, to run 25 plays a game for Lil' Marcus Dupree next season The thing to watch out for with Alabama's offense next season is if it joins the LUDICROUS SPEED crowd. Saban has spent most of the previous two years grousing about it, yet Joe Schad tweeted this week that Saban said he's "intrigued" by the fast-break offenses because of the hell it can cause opposing defenses. Interesting that Saban has flip-flopped. Curious if his final two games of the season changed his opinion, or if it was because he saw how the philosophy worked well for others across the country Would be really interesting if Saban orders Kiffin to speed it up given his defensive passion. Operating at light speed would force his beloved defense to spend a lot more time on the field and perhaps tire them out. Could he live with that? Curious stuff....

Worth revisiting via a 2010 Cincinnati.com blog post: "Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is not one to mince words. So when it came time to ask him about his first return to Atlanta since the 2007 season from hell, when the Falcons went 4-12, and Petrino resigned with three games left to take the job at Arkansas, Zimmer pulled out the Ginsu knives “'He’s a gutless b—–d. Quote that. I don’t give a s—.' "When told that we might might not be able to use the B word, Zimmer went one better: 'How about this, gutless MF. You can use that'” NY Post’s Bart Hubbuch twitted today, “Favorite Petrino story: He was Jaguars' OC in 2001 when I covered them. Sneaked away to Auburn after season without telling Coughln. Coughlin wasn't aware Petrino had left until Auburn announced his hiring. Coughlin was furious, supposedly never spoke to him again”....

Opine that Sandusky wanting his pension back isn't ballsy, rather it's a self-absorbed act befitting a sociopath

Meanwhile, Charlie Strong is headed to Tejas and Cutcliffe will likely succeed him....

NEVER~!....

A team cannot be the best in the nation if it just lost its previous game. Doesn't matter if it was by 50 or a Hail Mary or the daffiest ending of all time. It lost

WAR DAMN JIM ROSS Edit: So about all that pregame jibber-jabber from May and the Mummy that Alabama was still the best team in the country....

Nope. The NFL has seen cats like Brady, Marino, Owens, et al, do the same thing Talent outweighs character in the NFL, provided the player hasn't been busted for robbing banks while on bath salts. He's putting on a show for teams right now EDIT: AW HELL, Manziel has fired his draft stock into the mesophere tonight. Dude can throw, never mind his other skills....

"You wanna kill a Nazi? Ya wanna kill a Nazi-Squazzy?" What he said (Um, what did he say? Please dumb it down for me) Opine that "The Simpsons" in its prime was the greatest thing ever, but golldamn, "King of the Hill" was sublime. Gets better with every viewing The older I get, the more I identify with Hank's virtues and common sense. Loved how he played off of all the lunatics that surrounded him, most especially Dale and Kahn The final episode was perfect. Understated and perfect Another outrageous line that cracked me up was from Coach Kleehammer when Kahn Jr. wanted to join the wrestling team: "This all goes back to Title IX, Dick Nixon's biggest mistake" Enjoy the wonder, FSW (Man, I miss "Animaniacs", too)....
