    Yes, but the man literally said that diet soda actually contains calories.  Not the whole "trick your brain" thing.  Calories.  And that it contains many times more calories than non-diet soda.  And that that the government and soda manufacturers are conspiring in some insidious plot to keep this fact away from you.

     

    This is like finding out your new girlfriend is a 9/11 truther.  Yes, there are still positives, but you just can't look at her the same after that.

    FURY ROAD has 10 nominations. Swell.

    Just not best actress.

     

     

    Well I wouldn't necessarily say anybody did much heavy lifting, acting-wise, in Mad Max.  I loved the film, don't get me wrong, but it's more the amazing look of it, the action and the spectacle, than any acting work.  It should win every award that related to how a film looks (cinematography, visual effects) because it's just a beautiful film.  Acting?  Not so much.

    I don't watch Law & Order SVU but has the plot of every episode devolved into "let's just make Mariska Hargitay a woman in peril?"  I seem to remember seeing commercials for a seemingly endless episode arc where she was raped and tortured by Pablo Schreiber and now I keep seeing a commercial where she's kidnapped or held hostage or something.  Big 4 network TV: always 30 years behind the times.

    Does Hardcore Holly say anything about Steve Williams? Because I can remember in a Dr Death shoot interview, he slagged off Holly for whining to the office about his neck hurting and they made Williams stop doing the Dangerous Backdrop. So his finisher became a standard Belly to Back, which got over not at all.

     

    LOL yeah god forbid a wrestler be asked to stop using a dangerous move that could cripple a dude wtf is Holly's problem man.  Fuckin pussy he aint no Misawa I'll tell you that

    No, because WWE is not about to admit the need for someone like DDP.  "We're inducting this guy into our HOF because our company had a hand in a bunch of guys becoming addicts and they'd be dead if not for him" doesn't sound good.

    Over 300 yards, two scores (1 rushing), 91.7 rating... The two fumbles are the only major blight on his stat line.

    He didn't have done great lights out game, but blaming him... You'd have to be insane enough to think RGIII was still a viable option!

     

    You need to listen to DC sports radio...

     

    Nobody needs to do that, and Cousins wasn't that good yesterday.  He didn't make a single play in crunch time, and there were at least two dropped interceptions in the fourth quarter.  He had a good season, but paying him $20 million a year would scare me to death.  He played a very easy schedule and was pretty bad against all of the good teams they played.  Don't forget this is the exact same position you were in with RGIII, except that more money is on the line.

     

     

    Everybody outside the DC area can see that the emperor has no clothes and Cousins only beat losers en route to winning a dumpster fire of a division.  But this is a fanbase eager to fellate every new savior that comes down the pike.  Cousins is Football Jesus in the DC area right now and the fans would burn Snyder's house down if he didn't re-sign him.

    Just re-read Bret's book and one of the things he talks about is wrestling Malenko who picks him up in a suplex to put him on the top rope and dropped him so hard and awkwardly on the turnbuckle that Bret tore his groin muscle on the move (And would eventually require surgery to fix it).  He really doesn't have much respect for Malenko after that match.

     

    You could count on one hand the number of guys Bret had respect for.  Dude is full of stories like this, about losing all respect for guys he wrestled.  It's almost as if he's really really insecure and has to put everybody else down to feel good about himself.  Nah, can't be.

    Anyone still wondering why Mongo McMichael was a 4 Horseman should listen to Flair's interview with him, he sounds hilarious and a big party guy

     

    I hadn't realized just how close we had gotten to a Flair, Luger, Goldberg, Kevin Greene horsemen in 98. It was booked to happen, and not even in an abstract sense. There was a specific date set up for it. It just happened to be the date of Reid's wrestling tournament.

     

     

    Wow, that would go against everything the Horsemen were supposed to be.  Awful.  More "Ric Flair + Powerteam USA" than The Four Horsemen.

    I think that's what the dude is saying. They book Harper like a stiff, so the Wyatts mean nothing outside of Bray. Not that Harper is actually a stiff. He's probably the best worker they have right now on the main roster. 

     

     

     

    Yes, exactly.  It's not about their talent, it's about how they're booked.  Bray is the face of the group and the only one who has a character and booking.  The rest are faceless fodder.  Might as well team Wyatt with Thunderfoots 3 - 6.  My point was to dispute the assertion that they are or could be a high-level faction, which will never come to fruition as long as they're just "Bray and those other guys."  They're the No Doubt of wrestling.

    Clearly they need to push dudes who don't lift weights so fucking much.  Owens vs Beer City Bruiser vs Bull Dempsey vs Dave Mastiff for Mania.

     

    Seriously, though, these guys need to chill a bit on the lifting, especially lifting heavy and fixed-plane shit like benching, as they get older.  It's no surprise that Cena & Cesaro's rotator cuffs both went out in their mid/late 30s.  Shit, they probably do their lat pulldowns behind the neck, too.  :blink:
