Thought exercise: Each year's draft class is a team. You can't trade players, only sign the best 15 players each year who were eligible that year (refreshing the best/available 15 from that draft class for each year afterwards) How long before a newly drafted team could be considered a title contender? and how long before a draft-season team is no longer considered a contender? (3 years in for earliest, I think, 8-10 years latest)

The Sinnerman won? Obviously, the Chase was on. (UK Television reference)

Get the UK press headline generator going.. there has to be at least one who's going to go "Sinner's a Saint!"

yeah, I was going to post my usual "Ha! England in shambles" stuff after the first innings, but England just were apparently made of sterner stuff.

they have to finish the story. If it doesn't, then Cody Rhodes will have the stink of Wrestlemania failure on him for the rest of his career.

Here's something to make y'all feel old. I came across a video showing all of the signature moves from the first great pro wrestling game I ever played, NES Pro Wrestling. I want you to look at the bios for the thing that will make you feel old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TbWiimPthU Yes, all the wrestlers are in their 70's and 80's (well, except for the Amazon and Starman, nobody knows how old they are.) I figure that Starman has El Nieto del Starman wrestling in a bunch of Lucha Libre indies, King Slender got caught in the steroid trials of the 90's, Giant Panther is puttering around in retirement (and has offered his brain for CTE study post-mortem due to all the unprotected headbutts he gave out), and The Amazon had his final retirement ceremony a few years back after which he ran around the ring biting and choking folks, having to be dragged away. (and have you EVER, EVER hit a Back Brain Kick?)

Copeland vs Suzuki was a dream match I didn't know I wanted. Not quite big meaty men slapping meat, but they were throwing BOMBS at each other. I wish this match had happened 2 decades before, so the whole DVDVR crew could freeze it in a time machine, and bring it out when any aspiring wrestler says "How do I make my strikes look like they'll take someone's head off? Now, a lot of this is because a lot of these slaps and strikes weren't really pulled at all, but goddamn, in the year of our Lord 2024, they did a 12 minute spring based entirely off strikes with some ground maneuvers, and it ruled the motherfucking world. I would love to see Copeland and Suzuki form the Midnight Murder Uncles in NJPW and just punch the shit out of everyone and everything in NJPW as a couple surly old ass kickers. And I NEVER thought I'd be saying that about Edge/Copeland.

So nice, the board posted it twice.

Buffalo kickers. Wide Right. The classics are always the best.

Get two more folks in the FTR/House of Black feud and put it in BLOOD. AND. GUTS. -
Seeing a lot of people chanting the "Go woke, go broke" mantra about Sports Illustrated, namely, their decisions to put a plus size woman and a woman (who is trans) on the cover of the swimsuit issue. Of course, the real lesson is that 'Be old-school and fail to change with the times means you'll die off like the dinosaurs" will go RIGHT over the CHUDlets heads at about Mach 2.1.

So, I got PLAAY.com's "Let's PLAAY Tennis" sports replay board/card game, and am currently running a massive tournament using the Stars of 2000's set. From 108 cards, I managed to get it down to the round of 32, and then play half the round of 32, all in one night (I'm using the For The Set-No Rally mode, which allows me to roll out the details of a match in about 10-15 minutes. Tomorrow's Round of 32 matches include Danil Medvedev vs Andre Agassi and Alexander Zeverev-Andy Roddick. The highlight of the night was Tim Henman (who sadly, didn't have Henman's Hill at this tournament), taking on "journeyman" Andrei Pavel (who is one of the worst cards in the set, and I was shocked when Pavel made the round of 32): Henman nearly bageled Pavel winning the first set 6-2 after being up 5-0, but then lost both the second and third set due to Pavel taking Henman out of his serve and volley game, however, the savvy veteran Henman managed to win the fourth set in a tiebreak and then winning the match in the final set. One of those matches that would take 4-5 hours, and be thrown on whenever a Tennis channel needs to fill in hours and hours of space.

File under: Things that I think would be cool but never should happen: Teams should be allowed to "sell" their home status for the fixture to a higher division club. A big payday is so important to surprise teams who make the FA Cup third round. I know it never should happen because the Cup is meant to be fair and not biased toward big teams but (waves hands at real world). It's not like the rich clubs don't already have the advantage! (this was inspired by my Bristol Rovers side in FM24 getting home games against Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup, which is a decent payday, but nothing like what I'd get for playing at even one of those stadiums)

and the award for worst tackling in the NFL goes to.. the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Subtle trolling by NBC with "one thing leads to another" into the break ..

The Lions fans probably don't mind that screwjob against the cowboys so much now seeing as how it turned out for Dallas.. and for them so far

If it's January in an even number year, it must be time for top-level teams around the world (and also scrub teams like, Liverpool.. hah! I kid!), to lose their players for a month to six weeks as it's time for the African Cup of Nations, and every time we do this, we get a reminder about how players are making sacrifices to play for their nation. No, we're not talking about voodoo or anything like that, this time. In this case, it's nearly losing an entire national team in a plane crash because the plane had no fucking working oxygen. That's right, far from the glamor jet flights of top level international football, we get tiny propeller based aircraft that have to turn around nine minutes into a flight because there was no fucking oxygen working. Players were already falling unconscious due to lack of oxygen before the plane made an emergency landing. Oh, and as an added "FUCK YOU", The Gambia (you have to say "The Gambia", right?) officials then tried to put them on the very same small propeller-based plane for the trip again, claiming the problem had been fixed. Needless to say, the players said "FUCK NO" to that. and I don't blame em https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39285300/gambia-players-staff-say-oxygen-failed-plane-afcon

We need Antichristo doing a pre-tape with his #1 and the best bit

Cool, Craig, let me know what you think, and I'll try to do stuff with it (I was thinking about doing a character creation type thing just for fun). My christmas is actually tomorrow the 6th, my folks had COVID so didn't want to risk me getting ill with my surpressed immune system, so they're coming down tomorrow for gift exchange (we joke that we're storming the living room for presents, to honor 1/6)

Double post. damn board

They shouldn't let the Pakistani top order get on the plane home. they needed a huge rescue job in the first innings, and are currently 67/7 in the second. Then again, it just may be seasonal allergies, as India and South Africa only needed 4 and a third sessions to lose 33 wickets (India winning by seven wickets). Watch the head honchos at ICC think this is the best thing ever. TWO DAY TESTS!
