    I hate when players ask for flags. Every deep pass now the WR wants a flag, every time a QB is hit he finds a referee and motions for a flag. Maybe I am just old but I don't remember ten years ago players doing that. I think Brady started it and now everyone does it.

    In Tabe's NFL, asking for a flag is a 10-yard penalty. I'm dead serious about that.
    Other rules in my league:

    1) Jumping offside stops the play, same as a false start

    2) Throwing the ball into the ground on a screen pass is intentional grounding

    3) kickoffs (when kicked from normal spot) that go out of the back of the end zone on the fly get spotted at the 35

    4) Quarterback hand gestures, neck bobs, and leg raises designed to fake a snap are a false start

    5) pick routes will be tightly called as offensive pass interference

    6) "half the distance" offsides penalties are an automatic 1st down

    7) Offensive pass interference will be more tightly called and will include loss of down as well

    8) I'm not sure how to word this but somehow I want to limit yardage on defensive pass interference and eliminate intentionally underthrown passes to try and create PI calls the defense can't possibly prevent

     

     

    I can't agree enough with begging for flags being penalty worthy.  Shit, make it 15 yards.  The penalty is called "unsportsmanlike conduct" and crying to the ref for a flag and generally making a Jim Harbaugh-level ass of yourself is not the mark of a sportsman.  It's also maddening to see the ref throw the flag after the complaint like, "welp, you convinced me!"

     

    I'd personally tighten up the rules for intentional grounding.  When a QB is being dragged down and he weakly flings it away, fuck that noise. Oh, there was a receiver 10 yards from where the ball bounced?  Come on dudes.  Everybody in the stadium knows what the QB was trying to do there. 

     

    Really, I'm for any new rule that puts quarterbacks back on the level of every other player, because they get way too much deferential treatment from rules designed to pump up offense instead of making it a fair game.

  2. It was a good idea to put Maggs with Rotten for that match, as both were Baltimore guys and likely worked each other before.

     

    Axl Rotten worked at the video store I went to a lot as a kid.  I also used to see him waiting for the bus when I walked to grade school.  Sorry to get into "cool story bro" territory.

  3. As long as we're discussing gear...I like Asuka, she's a great wrestler and a comely young lass, but what the fuck is she wearing in the ring?  It looks like she coated herself in stickum and rolled around in David Lee Roth's closet.  And I noticed she wears those gross toe shoes under her kickpads.  What the actual fuck.

  4. I don't understand how Vince didn't at least learn SOMETHING from the time business was in the shitter from 92-97.

     

    Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.  I'm sure Vince has always told himself:

     

    • When business is good, it's all my doing
    • When business is bad, it's because of extenuating circumstances

    I mean come on.  The official WWE line is STILL that WCW beat them only because they had Ted Turner's money and used stars Vince had made.  He'll never admit, in just this one example, that somebody presented a better product that people enjoyed more and wanted to see more than his.

  5. WWE creative can't book a RAW without Seth Rollins and/or Steph and/or Triple H eating up 30+ minutes in promo time/backstage segments and Kane and Big Show (combined WWE tenure of one hundred years) receiving main event pushes and John Cena putting on the same 20-minute PWG 2.9 match every week. 

     

     

    I won't have you insulting PWG like that. 

  6. I think someone here posted a video of commentary that Graves did with two kids and I remember one of those kids in particular was really funny. Definitely did a better job than the RAW team most weeks. 

     

    The kid announcer saying Drake Younger looked like an angry, old Vin Diesel was hilarious.  "Look at that ref.  I wouldn't mess with him."

  7.  

    OK, I'll bite.

     

    Why were there tires at ringside?

     

    Maybe Fat Fuck Barrel Boy worked the show?

     

    “He’s fat, he’s a fuck, he wears a barrel…what’s not to like?” 

     

     

    I was going to go with Crossfit Death Match, but any day I get a JCW/Stranglemania reference is a good day.

  8. There's a reason Piper would drop falls every night on House Shows but would never ever drop a fall on TV.

     

     

    Because he was a fucking lunatic?

     

     

    The "motion capture suit" tights haven't helped since the heel turn.

     

    Seth's gear is rather goofy.  His kneepads and boots are too wide and bulky, so he looks like Mega Man or some such anime character.

  9. Cristobal's is more in line with what the writers have in mind though

     

     

     

    “During my time on the WWE creative team, we actually were told that there really are no babyfaces or heels in the Divas division. It was strongly implied that the Divas are all just a bunch of catty chicks, most of whom are mentally unstable.

  10. No discussion yet on the Season 6 premiere episode?

     

    After 90 minutes, the main thing I left the episode thinking was "I guess they still have helium tanks and balloons in the zombie apocolypse"

     

    LOL my wife said the same thing.  "Where'd they get the helium?"  My only answer was, "well they also have flare guns."  Yeah, it's pretty amazing that Alexandria has exactly what they need when they need it.

     

    My wife got very annoyed that they didn't just turn the quarry into a BBQ pit and burn the walkers. Would have been much less time consuming and much less of a risk.

     

    Other than that, a pretty big pile of "Meh..."

     

    Maybe the smell of burning walkers would attract more walkers?  Shit, I got nothin'.  I enjoyed the episode and after the snoozefest that was Fear the Walking Dead, I felt the 90 minutes really flew.  I enjoyed the comedic moments, like Professor Mullet respecting Heath's hair game and Morgan still being batshit crazy, pestering Michonne about his missing peanut butter protein bar.

     Main event was an ungodly clusterfuck and of course, Seth lost to Kane even with a billion people helping him. 

     

     

     

     

     

    *wrinkles brow in confusion*

     

    Seth is a chickenshit heel champ, he's supposed to lose non-title matches

     

    Chickenshit heel losing tons of non-title matches can be okay for an IC-Level guy - not the World champ. Jesus, even Honky Tonk did fewer pinfall jobs and he was the IC Champ.

     

     

    I don't even recall Honky ever getting pinned on tv as IC champ. Lots of jobs by DQ/countout but I don't remember him eating any pinfalls on tv.

     

     

    I don't even recall seeing a singles champion work a non title match back in the 80s unless it was a champ going over in a jobber squash and it was only a billed as a non-title match because no way was Rusty Brooks a contender and giving him a shot devalued the belt.  Rest assured if the champion did work a non title match and lost, or dropped the fall in a tag, it was because they were setting up a serious championship program.
