Dolfan in NYC

Well, I may as well start this, since I'm gonna be in the UK when this actually rolls around. You got five title changes in August! How many will you get in September?

Gregg was right, this is definitely "it's own thread" material. Still one of my best memories as a fan was Survivor Series 96 and seeing the crowd turn on babyface Shawn Michaels and cheer for Sid to kill him and Jose Lothario. https://www.tokyvideo.com/video/shawn-michaels-vs-psycho-sid-wwf-title-survivor-series-96 The eruption when he won. He got 20000 people to eat out the palm of his hands, just an all time performer. Rest in power Sid.

Expect to hear the statement "CeeDee Lamb will be able to buy lots of CD's now!" Cowboys extend Lamb 4/136, 100 guaranteed

Pardon me while I gargle battery acid for not having learned how to play pretend the right way:

KC is signing JuJu Smith-Schuster. (Yes, again.) This is apparently in response to a report that Rashee Rice is going to be... going away for a while.

Lord how they slip things under the radar if you're not watching every week. Alright... your Labor Day Weekend wouldn't be complete without you showing NO MERCY to your bosses by taking Monday off!

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting. All systems are go, "Are you sure?" Guten tag from Germany! Bash in Berlin is this Saturday and we've got our new World Champion's first defense! Also a fun and friendship defense of the WWE Championship, which I'm sure is going to lead to some hurt feelings! Control is not convinced, but the computer has the evidence, no need to abort. The countdown starts... Tonight however, we've got Raw and it's a sausage fest! Big meaty men slapping meat indeed! Four, three, two, one! Earth below us, drifting, falling, floating weightless, calling, calling home! And after BiB we've got No Mercy on Sunday! Big week for WWE ahead! Enjoy the week!

Guess we don't need this anymore lol

its_happening.gif Danny Jansen will become the first player to play for both teams in the same game. Alex Cora said he'd start the resumed game at C, since Reese McGuire got outrighted to the minors. And this also means, he'll be the only person to ever hit and catch in the same at bat.

Original plan was for to return during the Casino Gauntlet tonight. But he has not been medically cleared, so that is apparently off.

Philadelphia has put Ryan Johansen on waivers -- with the stated intent to terminate his contract for material breach. He got traded from Colorado to them and basically refused to play for them or their AHL team due to "injury." The Flyers have now determined he was never injured and just didn't want to play in Allentown. Strangely enough the team that may benefit the most out of this is Nashville, because if the breach of contract is upheld, they get $4 million in cap money because they were paying half his salary.

The plan is (as of now) to have the winner of the IC #1 contender tournament face Bron Breakker at Bad Blood next month.

It looks like her disastrous Reddit AMA was the final straw for Ronda Rousey: She's apologizing unconditionally and fully for spreading Sandy Hook truther conspiracies. And for what it's worth, it definitely reads as sincere.

I'll just say it's a good thing Logan Paul dropped the US strap last month. There's a video of him (allegedly) pushing his dog off a moving motorboat. The dog then goes under and comes out propeller side. The dog is okay. It's horrific and doesn't need to be reposted here. For what it's worth, he's strongly denied the accusation, but the video is pretty damning.

Miami of Ohio's coach is accusing Alabama of tampering (and "stealing") their award winning place kicker Graham Nicholson https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5717010/2024/08/22/miami-ohio-alabama-chuck-martin-graham-nicholson/ I'm not even sure how this would work any more, but technically Nicholson entered the protocol~ and moved to Bama.

(Boy the writer sure picked a hell of an opening sentence for that article...)

Todd Phillips, who was slated to direct, has confirmed that the Hulk Hogan biopic starring Chris Hemsworth is dead.

Sister Jean celebrated her 105th birthday today.

Don't confuse your wishes with the workers'. Their options currently are: 1) Go back to Japan and be the oldest tag team by a country mile, 2) Be on AEW tv for a few weeks and disappear faster than you can say Keith Lee, 3) Work the indies where they have to deal with the nonsense that comes there, or 4) Continue collecting WWE main roster checks while jobbing to young guys on NXT. (Probably with a lot less travel requirements than the rest of the main roster too.) Fact is, only they know their feelings about being in the PC. Anything else, even my list above, is pure conjecture.

I'm sure Tua and his people are of the HIGHLY justifiable opinion that Flores and his 1970's style coaching just cost him millions of dollars by putting him in a horrible situation and not in a place to succeed. Meanwhile, in McDaniel's system, he's becoming that QB that every Dolphins fan thought he could be when they drafted him. The lawsuit is pretty solidly dead right now. A Federal judge sent the case against the Dolphins to an NFL-run arbitration which is overseen by Roger Goodell at the beginning of this year.* He asked for an appeal - which in this case means a judgment on the merits before the arbitration - and was denied. He does still have a case against Houston, Denver, and the NY Football Giants, in court... but it's Federal court so who knows when that will get done, if ever. * - He could in theory appeal that decision up to SCOTUS, but seeing as how Justice Kagan said in a similar case partial arbitrators are allowable, there is very, very little chance he'd succeed. In short, Brian Flores can go fuck himself.
