For the "it's only been three weeks" crowd, yeah, and week three was the same thing as week one. The only one who's had any progress in any direction is Big Show, and I'm sorry, but his melodramatic thespianism is not up to carrying this angle by its lonesome.

Which REALLY reflects poorly on Macho Man...

So someone explain to me what the point was of having Bryan be largely ineffectual against a not-fighting-back-yet Show, then have Show leave Bryan laying cleanly in the middle of the ring for the Shield to jump, followed by ages of weeping Big Show? I mean, as impressive as the crowd going mild for Orton's entrance into the ring was, (was that a boring chant?) I'm really failing to see how this leads to the big payoff. Who got over there? Who's going to buy Night of Champions tonight? Let's hear from all those folks who've been saying how brilliant this angle's been.

JBL's random footy references (e.g. "Gareth Bell signing for Rill Madrid") are kinda cringe-inducing.

Which "Shield guy" are you again jae? We know you're not Hunter or Orton.

Except for Seneca Wallace?

At least he didn't get run over by a car like Darsow.

To be fair, there's a giant body of water between 'em, so it's 42 miles to get from one park to the other. The Dodgers and Angels are closer than that. There's rather less when the Bay Bridge is open...

He just needs to make sure that CM "the Televangelist" Punk and Daniel "Vegan Chef" Bryan end up in opposite brackets.

^That post would be 10 times funnier if it was unintended.

Can you? The article linked in the OP recounted that Chappelle said "Security feel free to step in anytime." So Chappelle asked for the loudmouths to be tossed and nothing happened. But according to you he should still "suck it up" because he's rich and famous, (or, let's be honest: because you're not.) The idiocy of the notion that venues should nix their single biggest profit center has already been suitably trashed. I find it amusing that you and elasticwasteband fancy yourselves smart. That's the professional's* touch. Even the dumbest guy in the audience leaves amused, even if he's not entirely sure why. Oh, so when you said "Nothing wrong with striving for more, but don't be pissy that you are remember for one thing you created" you were talking about the venue. And when you said "To me its like hearing a rich man complain about taxes. Cry me a river, moneybags" you meant the venue. And when you said "And to go a little further. If he were in tiny dive bars/clubs, struggling to make money and this was happening, I would feel bad." you meant you would feel bad for tiny venues, but had no sympathy for big ones. Indeed, your entire appearance in this thread hasn't been a massive hate-wank over someone being rich and famous, it's been you complaining about big rich venues this whole time! I get it now. Guess you just need a bit of work on those pronouns. *not really

So your argument is basically that buying a ticket entitles you to be a d-bag that ruins the show for hundreds (in this case, thousands) of people because the guy on stage is rich and famous.

Why? Is he not supposed to try to move forward and do new things? I don't get this line of thinking at all. Not one person wants to remembered for just one thing, unless they discover to cure for AIDS or something meaningful like that. No actor wants to be known for just one role, no musician wants to be remembered for just one song, no DVDVR poster wants to be known for just one quip. It may happen, but no one wants it to go down like that and we'll work to keep it from happening. Come on now. That is one more than most people get. Nothing wrong with striving for more, but don't be pissy that you are remember for one thing you created. I'm not intending to compare myself to Chappelle in any way, shape or form, but I found it strangely off-putting when I heard people telling my jokes back to me, (like, "erm...should I laugh at my own punchline?") and that was in the context of people praising the show. Hearing old jokes yelled at me for what has to be the millionth time when I'm trying to do entirely different material would be pretty fucking annoying. I'm not really very sympathetic to the "he's rich and famous so he should shut up and be grateful that he's rich and famous" argument in response to that.

This was a worthwhile post.

So, here's a question. 12-team Keeper league. Starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 WR/RB flex, 1 D, 1 K. Scoring is basically Yahoo standard with some minor modifications. My keepers are Calvin Johnson, Jones-Drew, Ridley and Nicks. I've been offered Marshawn Lynch and the 3rd pick in the 2nd round for Calvin Johnson and the 11th pick in that round. It clears up a bye week issue with Johnson/Nicks, and does leave me set at RB, but obviously weakens me at WR. I have the 2nd pick in the first round, and will likely spend it on one of these four who have all been dropped: Frank Gore Tom Brady Randall Cobb DeMarco Murray Does the deal seem like a good one?

My thought process on seeing this: "Who's that guy with Nash and Waltman? The poster? Someone with the Falcons? .....oh."

Real may not be going bankrupt, but I don't think any level of government in Spain is going to be doing another deal like that for one of the richest football clubs in the world in today's economy, so it makes sense that when they've got an offer of €50M on the table for a player whose replacement they've already brought into the fold they're going to take it.

Also, San Francisco and Oakland, Los Angeles and "Los Angeles"

I think you were pretty much the only person on that list.

The scariest part is that he looks kinda small...

Yeah but Kaka won't be bringing back any cash, just taking a big salary off of payroll, and Di Maria and/or Modric won't bring back enough. Even Real can't afford 9-figure outlays without bringing some money back. In any case, I think they see Benzema/Ronaldo/Bale/Isco as their front four for the forseeable future.

They're about to sell Ozil and Kaka, possibly Di Maria as well.

Would you people stop interrupting his Bears-fan-trolling with actual facts?
