I believe in Crystal Light 'cause I believe in meeeeeeeeeeee
Jesus Christ, I thought that Pebbles song in the AEW thread made me feel old but now I've got the Crystal Light jingle from 1984 in my head.
How about replacing it with the Nestle Alpine White song.

The final song/dance/roller skating number is mind blowing! When I worked at Blockbuster we'd always respond with "Ahhh yes Xanadu, the movie that killed Gene Kelly" even though it have nothing to do with his death, when asked if we had it.

I enjoyed The Gentleman but felt like they could have ditched an episode or two, I'm assuming Netflix will give it another season but on the Cobra Kai/Stranger Things timetable.

You've not heard of the Stanley craze?
I have a 13-year-old daughter, so I'm all too aware.
A wrestling promotion needs a modern day Missy Hyatt who hits people with her Stanley Cup instead of a Gucci bag.

Oklahoma was another that instantly rejected a NIT invite
All of the schools are claiming it is because of the Portal
Has there been any explanation on why the NIT is still a thing? It seems like its expiration date hit maybe 45 years ago. I also didn't realize they no longer play the semis and finals at MSG, wasn't the whole point of the NIT an excuse for the announcers to talk about how CCNY was a national power when Harry Truman was President.

And all other tournaments as well.
Now I want to see the NIT invite them and go through the motions of setting up a game, only to dramatically announce to the crowd that they've decided not to show up and award a walkover.
Spare a thought for Indiana State and Robbie Avila (AKA Cream Abdul Jabbar/Larry Nerd). Highest NET ranking of any school ever left out of the Dance at 29.
Pitt also declined the NIT.

As someone who moved to a suburb a lot like New Granada when they were in 8th grade, Over the Edge was spot on. Expect for the whole “A kid who tells on another kid, is a dead kid!” thing, that was comical.

Kenny Pickett traded to the Eagles, didn't see that one coming. Apparently he asked to be moved after the Russell signing, per Adam Schefter.
Don't blame him, the Steelers mishandled him from the beginning.

i just want to pop in here and point out that the 80s Transformers and GI Joe cartoons are legitimately good. they're not the fucking Sopranos, or Game of Thrones, or what have you, but for 80s kids TV, animated or not, they are pillars of quality. Their contemporaries: He-Man, Thundercats, MASK, GoBots, et. all., are all objectively of lower quality, but Transformers and GI Joe i found hold up reasonably well for what they are.
source: i love cartoons (you may remember my 'Help me find all the cartoons' thread from a few years ago) and finished rewatching those two series a year or two back.
To me GI Joe stood above the rest purely due to the two episodes where Shipwreck is basically living The Truman Show.

One of my biggest laughs listening to What Happened When is one of the earlier episodes Conrad shouting, "PUT ON SOME GODDAMN PANTS, JACKIE!" as the floor cameraman from behind is basically shooting an upskirt shot of him wearing the tiniest jorts ever and the hairiest legs.
There is no way in hell he would have got away with that look in WWF. He would have gotten the obligatory WWF shirt and black pants every cameraman had to wear. In WCW, Jackie Crockett was wearing ANY damn thing he wanted. Especially the early years.
In the 80's and maybe into the early 90's the WWF cameramen wore blue jumpsuits.

For those who haven’t seen this before
I always love seeing the few Americans who went over and worked World of Sport.

It's beyond me why dealers would cut fentanyl with coke. I know they want addicted customers but there are so many recreational cocaine users that killing them seems to have less of a profit margin than dope fiends, who are ready and willing to die and will buy more if someone dies from your package. Someone seeing their friends die from a casual line aren't gonna buy anymore, more likely, unless they have a serious addiction. I had a guy in rehab that (unwitting and unwillingly) smoked crack cut with it! That is not knowing your customer base.
In some cases it's thought that the fentanyl got mixed in with cocaine due to cross contamination, basically being processed/packaged in the same facility with no type of cleaning happening.

Pacino released a statement saying the Academy instructed him to not read the nominees out because they were worried about time, and said he understood and apologized. Their thinking was that everyone already knew who was nom'd from the video packages already.
I believe him, they didn’t read off the names of the nominees for Best Song either. I’m also assuming Pacino is at the level where they don’t ask him to come in the day before and rehearse.

Might as well skipped it on TV. I think I only managed to make out like, 6 people, but we sure saw the ballerinas and the Bocelli's, because the In Memoriam is all about that.
The eye chart at the end with the likes of Burt Young, Treat Williams, and Lance Reddick was really weak.

I looked up at the TV the other night to see an ad for the REELZ Channel Cops re-runs that they air all the time (alongside On Patrol) and it had footage of a cop doing a full-sprint, 40-yard field goal kick to someone's groin. Followed by people weeping in the back of squad cars. I know we as a country are full of bootlickers but this cop porn is just the worst. It got cancelled after the George Floyd protests, but here it is again, finding its own dark corner of the airwaves.
I think new episodes are on the FOX News streaming service.

There was that whole Swing music thing for a year or two, thanks to the movie Swingers.

Does Brian Setzer count or what was a different time period?
Stray Cats was from a totally different era, but I kind of remember in the mid/late 90's era that the Brian Setzer Orchestra being more of a VH1 thing.

Loving the implication that Arch is such a hardcore gamer that, if he can play as himself in the college football video game, he will care less about playing actual football.
Hilarious that someone in the Manning camp thought this would be a good thing to leak to the press. Just say you wanted more money!
That's better than saying they asked EA for more money and EA said no.

Might should finesse that explanation a bit. The studios and MTV always had their base cash crops:
1. Pop R&B, now moving closer to hip hop (TLC, New Edition, Destiny's Child, and yes all the boy bands and girl singers fall into this category once they reclaimed the Menudo Title from NKOTB)
2. Boomers buying yacht rock classics and another copy of Rumours, which is still getting vinyl reissues every year
3. Country music (never went away, was hitting third wave, integrating rock/pop/eventually even hip hop)
They needed another, fresher one-armed bandit to pull the arm on though, and eventually numbered a fistful.
Electronica (Prodigy... ummm, there were other examples, right? Or was this purely a music-magazine gimmick name?)
Ska (No Doubt, who were at heart a pop band)
Swing (Cherry Poppin' Daddies)
Alt metal/Industrial metal (NIN/Manson/White Zombie)
Pre-fab alt rock (Bush, Collective Soul which would merge with hard rock into Creed and Godsmack)
Pop-punk (Green Day/Offspring, to a lesser extent Epitaph bands)
These were one-and-dones but then hip hop and EDM took over everything and nu-metal was the last of the trial subgenres before becoming niche airplay alongside the older stuff.
MTV tried really hard to push Electronica, besides Prodigy they pushed Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Moby and Air. I kind of remember thinking that they wanted to be ahead of the trend since they were so behind when other trends like hip-hop, "alternative music", and grunge, but ended up picking the wrong one since Ska became way more of a thing than Electronica.

How in 2024 have I heard Two Princes twice in the same day?
Whenever I hear an old song/band like that multiple times in a day or even over a few days, my first thought is that someone from the band died.

When you reach WWE, you're told nothing you did before WWE matters. They push you a little to show you how great it can be, then kill your push for a while to show you how bad it can be. That way you know who is in charge and that you better tow the line because they are in complete control of your career.
That's basically what pimps do, Vince McMahon's management style when it comes to talent is right out of the Iceberg Slim book on pimping.

That was Tom Zenk (or maybe it wasn't actually Tom Zenk, I don't remember how all that shook out).
I'm 97% sure it was Zenk on Meltzer's Eyada show.

Makes sense but the way Piper speaks on it like both Vince and Hulk wanted Piper to dive for Hulk around that time. It was great for everyone that he didn't. Look at how much Savage was taking clean falls to Hulk early in there run of matches and they were drawing good houses. It's amazing in hindsight that Piper managed to not have to lose to Hulk clean and the fact that it was Hulks first major program on top. I couldn't imagine who ever Cena's first major program refusing to lose clean to Cena. It wouldn't even be a thought to even refuse to lose to Cena. It wouldn't be an an option even today for someone to even refuse to lose to Roman. The only person would be Rock or Obviously Austin if he decided to work.against Roman.
Piper like Hogan is totally out there with lies and exaggerations, so you can't really believe him when it comes to this kind of stuff. It wouldn't have made sense to have Piper job clean to Hogan before WrestleMania, I'm sure Vince wanted to do a big house show run after WrestleMania with Piper taking the leg drop and pin, or in some markets a screw job finish and then back the next month for a blow off match where he takes the pin, but Piper being Piper it didn't happen.

I don't think EON has ever really wanted to do any spin-offs, there was some talk of one with Halle Berry's character from Die Another Day, but I kind of remember that being more just to hype that flick than them actually going through with a spinoff.
