The only officiating thing that bothered me was they ignored PI/defensive holding virtually all night, and then (correctly) called it right at the end after Carolina's defense had made a big stand.
It was the right call, but they let similar plays go all night.
What bothered me was intentional grounding. The nfl really needs to look at changing how they view it. On one occasion Cam was in the grasp and going down and just managed to get the ball out and it wasn't called. Multiple other times he was about to get sacked and threw it away where it didn't really look like he was outside the tackles, and one looked to maybe not get back to the line of scrimmage. Regardless, all of those cases are intentionally grounding the ball.
If you're not trying to complete a pass and are just throwing the ball away to avoid a sack, that should be intentional grounding.
Exactly. The rule is called intentional grounding. It's right there in the name. Anybody with half a brain can tell when the QB is grounding the ball intentionally instead of trying to complete a pass. A pretty big indicator, for example, is whether the QB is in the grasp of two defenders and is one foot from the turf.
Supremebve mentioned the AFC championship and he's absolutely right. Brady, on that last drive, was in the grasp and headed for the ground 2-3 times and just winged it into the dirt to avoid a sack. On one occasion, the "closest receiver" had fallen down and was just getting up when the ball bounced past him.
The rule as it is applied today is absolutely broken and does nothing but favor the offense in the cheapest way possible.

6) Baltimore Ravens
7) San Francisco 49ers
From the Super Bowl to going back to back this early in the draft in a little over three years. I'm too lazy to check if this has happened before (both teams in one Super Bowl falling this far this fast).

Noooooooo.

Yeah, best of luck on that main roster where conversations like this are allegedly the norm:
Michael Hayes: She just feels cold, you know? She’s not connecting.
Vince McMahon: Mm. She needs to find her sensuality.
Kevin Dunn: She NEEEEDS to find some TITS!
Can't wait to see Bayley get a
set of bolt-ons"new push up bra" (TM Paige).-

After that blizzard, shoveling 9" of snow will feel like vacation.

My limited sampling of grocery store fried chicken in my area has come up lacking.
KFC is bland garbage.
Popeye's will make you see the face of Jesus and if you have one bad word to say about it I will fight you.

Looks like he trimmed the beard too.
Leave Brie out of this
Bryan will be on RAW (it's in Seattle so it makes sense)
Which is also interesting since he apparently tried to give notice.
Damn, wait 'til Vince gets hold of Legal for using the term "wrestler" in those contracts.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that there are fourth, fifth or more generation Mexicans in LA. Why would he necessarily have an accent at all?
Just say he moved to Boyle Heights and used to live in the Latino section of Paducah, KY. Problem solved.
PJ should team with Paul London.
(aaaawoooooo Darewolves of London)
I'm so sorry

That's cool. I like the show, though I hope they eventually get to the backstory of how things got the way they are.

Seriously. I remember watching that match on PPV when it first aired and it just dragged and went on forever.

Remember when Honky cracked Jake upside the head with an ungimmicked guitar? Good times.

I grew up in the same part of Baltimore and always saw him around long before he became a wrestler, some chubby kid working at the video store always wearing wrestling shirts. It sucks to see somebody you saw around the neighborhood and obviously wanted to be a wrestler from childhood die so young. I wish the guy would have had more success and not given so much for so little return, wrestling a style that, in the end, only benefited Heyman. Rest in peace.

The "intergender controversy" is basically "Dave and Bryan don't like girls wrestling guys on Lucha Underground"
Too be fair - there a couple other people who carry on about it too (Bix being a big one) but yeah it really flared up because of LU
Bix is a joke. He has a problem with a worked match between men and women (all parties agreeing to the match), but he has no issue not outing the known racists within the business who are actively working from within to keep racist gimmicks alive and well in the 21st century? The guys morals are really off. Fantasy gets a long easy, but reality gets swept under the rug? The guy is full of shit.
What's this part about?

I'm no lawyer so bear with me. With the (laughable) independent contractor status and the nature of downside contracts, if Bryan is getting cleared by doctors right and left could he sue for loss of income?
Meltzer talked about this a few weeks ago, regarding Bryan getting out of his contract on the same basis. Since he's still getting his downside and merch, Bryan would have to prove he'd still make more elsewhere. Meltzer is not a lawyer either (god I'd love to hear him on a case) but that sounds right, I guess.
Wonder what NJPW would give a WWE headliner who could work their style...
12 more concussions and a wheelchair. Strong style!

It's because they're a comedy act that Vince enjoys. There's no carpet pulling because they're a harmless sideshow. Santino never got his legs cut off, either. Anybody who seriously thinks any of them are getting near the world title is nuts.

Well that's the problem. It doesn't matter what his doctors say. WWE's own doctor says he shouldn't wrestle. I'm not a lawyer but 20 years from now when he's in a wheelchair like Dynamite Kid and decides to sue, it's going to be hard to defend if they waive their contracted physician's diagnosis and let him come back.
I wouldn't let him come back. He's already shown to have piss-poor judgment regarding his own health.

Sarah Paulsen is gonna need more shelf space for the shit she's gonna win for playing Marsha Clark...
Sarah Paulsen and Courtney B. Vance should get nominated for all types of shit, every other person on the show is actively terrible.
Wife was mesmerized by John Travolta's... whatever. Makeup? Mask? When plastic surgeons attack? He looks like he's wearing one of those real-life people masks bank robbers buy.

Watching old Manias, I'm struck by how horrible Don Muraco's Irish Whip was. Dude just grabs his opponent by the wrist with one hand, two if you're lucky, and encourages him to the ropes. He makes a phony move look 10 times worse.

English blood negates Canadian Sharpshooter proficiency. Can't be helped.

Kevin Owens has a good Sharpshooter. Probably because it's taught in high school gym class in Canada.

Looks alright, but minus points for a lame music snob cliche shot at Phil Collins Genesis. The run from Duke through Abacab to their self-titled was fucking brilliant...
"In the Air Tonight" is better than any 80's one hit wonder they can shoehorn into this trailer in a cynical attempt at Gen X nostalgia. I liked this movie the first time when it was called The Commitments.

I'll disagree but I never liked it when X-Files got too cutesy. There's a difference between inserting humor into a show and just going all out wacky~! and this, to me, was dog shit. We only have six episodes, Mulder just learned about a new conspiracy, and hey, let's forget all that and go with a full-on sitcom episode. Ugh.
I liked the shout out to Kim Manners, though.

RAW IS BRYAN - 2/8/16
in WWE PROGRAMMING

I caught the first 10 minutes of Raw for the first time in a while. Good to see Steph is still emasculating everyone and will never ever show ass or get any type of comeuppance. Great heel work there.
It must be exhausting and seriously hellish to go through life that insecure.
Dean Ambrose's hair is gross. And not in an ironic "lol he's playing a homeless gimmick" gross. I mean he's obviously balding and is doing a sad, greasy comb-forward gross.
