Possibly extending the Starks/BCC fight? Starks costs Danielson the match?

I think before the season, you could have gotten really good odds on the Orioles being the last AL east surviving tean

Rugby World Cup to expand to 24 teams. A rejected plan would have either kept the same size or reduce the teams, with a second-tier "Rugby World Cup 2" (or Plate_ tournament running at the same time. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/oct/04/world-rugby-to-reject-plate-competition-for-emerging-nations-at-world-cups

Something like, I forget whom, (Shawn Stasiak?) where he'd come out each week as a parody of another wrestler? You could call it "All Gimmicks Needed" edit: Actually looked it up. Charlie Haas

Lampard has said he wants the Rangers job. I hear a bunch of Celtic fans (the best fans, trust me) also want Lampard for the Rangers job.

Hey, pop quiz hotshots! What's the difference between a biel, and a Beale? A biel is a wrestling throw out of the corner, and a Beale is a manager thrown out of Rangers.

There's also going to be so many conspiracy theories (baseless ones) about the Mahomes slide. By sliding and running out the clock instead of scoring, the sportsbooks made something like tens of millions of dollars as the Point Spread bets were heavy on the Chiefs. It was a smart play by Mahomes, but you know there's some peope throwing their phone at the wall in the anger about Mahomes's slide losing them big bucks, and them thinking that the Sportsbooks somehow paid Mahomes off to make sure their bet didn't cash.. edit: According to this story, the sportsbooks were facing a huge bath, as 91% of the bets, and 84% of the money on the point spread was on the Jets. That slide gave them 34% profit (as well as the usual vig) https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/38545014/patrick-mahomes-goal-line-slide-shifts-millions-sportsbooks

Ok, did we actually have a short-notice PPV because Tony Khan wanted to do the Copeland reveal on the day he became a free agent on PPV instead of a few days later on Dynamite... If so, that's well.. something I'd expect a billionaire-ish money mark to do. (Not that I don't think he's done a bad job, mind you. Just that it shows he loves it and while he wants to make money, he's absolutely having a blast doing this) I'm probably reading too much into it, but considering how quickly this was thrown together (and how everything got booked into this at the last week or two) it might be "Hey, we wanted to do the WrestleDream thing, when should we schedule it for".. and someone deciding that this date was good, considering this free agent we're thinking about signing... (I may just call him Edge, I've known him as that for what? 25 years?)

Oh wow. Commanders

Bears Mega-Bearsed

Jets fan in shambles that Kirk Cousins won't be walking through that door.

THAT'S more like we were expecting from Fields in the toilet bowl...

I guess my joke about Pickett's Last Charge was a bit too early, as he just hurt his knee looks like after being sacked on fourth down.

Cousins threw a 10 yard duck punt INT after being hit. Literally felt like it had punt airtime.

What's worse for the Broncos, giving up 70 to the Dolphins, or Fields going 12 for 12 to start the game?

Alchane bringing the Al-Pain for Miami. This might be an arena football scorigami

Celtics trade Brogdon, Robert Williams and the 2024 first from GSW and an unprotected 2029 1st rounder for Jrue. Not sure I like it, I will miss TimeLord, but time will tell. edit: I think we need to give the Blazers GM credit: When Lillard did his "Miami or nothing ultimatum", it seemed like everyone expected them to take a puu puu platter for him. The equivalent of trading a dollar for 6 dimes. This is what they actually got. Deandre Ayton Robert Williams (on a pretty team friendly contract!) Malcolm Brogdon Toumani Camara, three first-round picks: 2024 (Golden State, Top-4 protected), 2029 (Bucks and Celtics unprotected) 2028 and 2030 Milwaukee pick swaps. That's rather impressive. (Hat tip to ESPN Woj's Twitter)

Another reason I miss Dean~!. He would have five 6-man WAR matches to compare the 8-wrestler tag match to, ready immediately after the show.

Refs admit the fuckeration. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66973987

Honestly with the new fair catch rule, they should just start every drive at the 25, skip the kickoff. shit, hate to see that at the end of the game (the injury, not necessarily the fumble)

Sound the Duke Upset horn? edit: Holy shit, QB scramble on 4th and Long keeps Notre Dame in the game (17 when they needed 16), and then a huge run up the middle for the TD. (Surprised they didn't kneel at the one and take it down further)

If you haven't seen a certain game-extending play in UCF-Baylor, look it up. It didn't change the game result, but it's a candidate for play of the year.

Somehow LIverpool are still tied with Spurs despite multiple bits of ref fuckeration.

And Man City fall to Wolves. It's all coming up millhouse for Liverpool (until they get a sudden attack of Ange-ina against Spurs, of course).

Weekend Update (with more me, and less Saturday Night Live. First of all, Holy shit at the New Zealand-Italy result. We were expecting a tushy-whompin, but.. uh.. not THAT much of a tushy-whomping. 14 tries against a tier1.5 nation? You'd think the Italian players had insulted the New Zealand nation. (actually, now that I think about it, Italy played so shit, it was an insult to the national sport of New Zealand) Big banana skin game for Fiji tomorrow. Australia are hoping against hope that Fiji step on the banana peel and slip up to allow them a chance to qualify. The 'Boks will have to put on a bonus point win against Tonga to guarantee themself safety. If they don't and Scotland gets two bonus point wins (vs Romania this weekend, then next week against Ireland), they'd pip the group, and Ireland would advance over South Africa by H2H tiebreaker If Australia lose to Portugal (this weekend), would Australia even wait till the end of the tournament to sack Eddie (No, I don't expect them to, but the way the Aussies have gone lately)? Either way, it's going to take some doing for them to avoid being shunted out before the QF. Over in Pool D, looks like next week's sargentina-japan game is a quarter final eliminator game (assuming Argentina don't eff it up against South American side Uruguay
