Thank God. I am sure he is only shooting dust out of that thing by this point
That’s what Al Pacino and Robert De Niro thought they were shooting!

Look at The Bus' hand. Freaking MASSIVE.
The Bus has that Ryhno style of wideness, but he's a little bit taller and a good bit wider, both are super nice guys too!

They could have always dubbed it in Portuguese, even if they had to do it in English? May have gotten ridiculed but I'm sure modern technology could have tweaked it enough to work, right?
Or just hire actors who speak Portuguese, you know the sixth most spoken language on the planet.

The NFLPA has released their annual player survey of franchises. KC ranked near the bottom overall in player satisfaction. Complaints included that they are given stools instead of chairs in the locker room. The Raiders ranked dead last in coaching (surveys taken before Josh McDaniels was fired). The Patriots - yes, Bill Belichick - ranked next to last. Players felt Bill wasted their time and didn't listen to the locker room. And, as usual, teams are salty over the results. Fact is, though, the surveys get results. Jacksonville was trashed last year by players, mainly because of rats(!) in the locker area. They ranked 5th this year.
Most of the Pittsburgh sports media is blaming Pitt for the Steelers low score, even though the Stillers lowest grades have nothing to do with the practice facility. Players over the years though have said the Pitt side of the building is a lot more up to date and plush compared to the Steelers side, that's not on Pitt that's on Art Rooney II.

Nothing about this is surprising but it is just more proof that the dude bro who bought Sports Illustrated did so to just use the name and not for the actual "journalism" side
They're using the name for resorts/hotels and a cheap clothing line at JC Penney.

They really need to do some conference re-naming. Do any of the conferences with numbers in them have a matching number of teams? There are California schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference and Massachusetts is in Mid-America. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
The ACC should really change to the All Coast Conference, even though Pitt and Louisville are in states not on the coast, makes more sense than being the Atlantic Coast Conference with schools on the Pacific coast.
I also never understood what the Atlantic 10 never changed to correspond with the number of teams in the conference, why hang onto 10? Atlantic 15 has a nice ring to it.

Have they ever said why they won't change the name? It's always going to be a punchline and its kind of lame, even going back to when they were in San Diego.

Since YouTube keeps giving me tv theme songs ….
one day at a time:
Who remembers richard Masur in the early years and Howard Hessemam at the end? Tom boy Valerie Bertenelli in the early years? Nanette Fabray?
You forgot Schneider! They brought in some Italian kid named Alex towards the end, Eight is Enough did the same thing when they brought in Ralph Macchio.

It’s prob one of the ways wrestlers are more like actors than pro athletes. So, you wonder about the people who went from being an NFL or even top level college player into wrestling, especially in the modern era.
Wasn't the knocks on Goldberg and back in the day Luger always more about their "attitudes" than anything else.

Forgot what a great theme this was
That’s a show I know of purely by the commercials and promos from back in the day, never watched an episode and had no clue it took place in Los Angeles.

One gimmick that would probably be alarmingly realistic that probably wouldn't work in wrestling: the guy who is only there because his girlfriend is wrestling. Basically it'd be a takeoff of all the women who got onto TV because their boyfriend/husband is a wrestler. I know the whole "hot wife, dumb guy" dynamic is in various media and some people (mainly guys) hate that trope.
Maybe it'll be more wholesome if the hanger-on guy is actually a fan instead of someone who ends up hooking up with another woman in his heel turn. Of course if your booker has some issues with women, then the man would be doing a Dancin Stevie gimmick where the woman is 1995 Raven. Granted, I think Stevie probably did that sort of gimmick in the WWE.
It is nice of wrestling to have multiple recent cult leader gimmicks that don't involve a male cult leader just exclusively manipulating women. Then again, "powerful man bending women to his will" might hit too close to home for at least the WWE.
Maybe less "hot wife, dumb guy" dynamic and more he's into something else besides wrestling, he could interfere in her matches so they could get to his Fustal practice on time and chime into her interviews talking about how many goals he's scored.

Yup now they'll always be #14. Or #16.
It'll end up being 16, there's way too much money to be made by hosting a first round playoff game.

That's like Marty & Shawn explaining to Verne that they wanted to be called the Midnight Rockers, and Verne thinking it was a rocking chair reference.
I'm kind of thinking that Verne didn't like the name, made a sarcastic comment and since Marty & Shawn were kind of dumb didn't get it.

My favorite way off pro wrestling accent is Swede Hanson who had a thick Northern New Jersey accent, being billed from North Carolina and wearing Confederate pieces of flare.

Remembering when Big Show lost that tables match by accidentally stepping through one. Tag rope and closed fist are also good ones.
Was it Dax that said that in the WWE rule book there’s actually a rule about a maximum number of pin breakups in tag matches (I want to say 2?)? Has that ever been called?
I always thought that was a NWA/WCW thing, I remember Solie, Schiavone, and Ross brining it up once a year or so. I think it was first pin break up was a warning and the second a DQ, I don’t think it was ever enforced though.

In the utterly disgusting but not surprised category, Penn State trustees are meeting in secret to name the field after a chid rape enabler.

Well, that also depends on whether you think Southpaw was loving tribute, snarky mockery or somewhere in between.
Wasn't it really just a KFC commercial?

I haven't watched Cannonball Run in ages, thinking back I kind of remember the only funny parts being any scene with Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr., who could have they put in those roles?
If the WWE could have gotten the rights to a bunch of 70's and 80's Burt Reynolds flicks, they could have easily slotted Austin, Rock, Cana, or whoever in the starring role.

Nah, There are already a bunch of Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World knockoffs and Cannonball Run itself is a knockoff of Gumball Rally. "Wacky ensemble race comedy" is pretty much a genre unto itself.
Actually Cannonball with David Carradine came out a month before Gumball Rally. Then you have Speed Zone(1989) with John Candy which featured Jamie Farr making a cameo as "The Sheik", but I don't think anyone connected to the two Cannonball Run movies had anything to do with it.

Did they try to spin-off Austin's character from his guest spots on Nash Bridges? Or was the timing not right for him to do a series? I think he would have been perfect in an action cop show, think a winking at the camera Walker Texas Ranger.

Both the regular season and playoff OT formats are fine, they don't need changing.

It was essentially a "new game". If they had hit :00, that's the end of the "quarter" and they would have just flipped sides, because Kansas City had not completed their drive. If they had without scoring, the game would have ended.
I would *imagine* there's a 5 minute "half time" after 2 OT's. God help us all if they ever reach that.
EDIT -- now that I've read those rules.... yeah, no 'halftime', but new coin toss before OT #5. Honestly though, it's probably better if they just turn the clock off and play untimed until there's a winner.
You need to have the clock for playoff games played outside, if it's windy that's a big factor on some clock decisions.

I haven’t had a chance to look over the rules in full, but where I was watching, and there were a lot of us, we were all wondering wtf KC was doing wasting so much time at the end. We all thought that if the clock hit 0 with SF still up by 3 then that would have been the game.
So is that right or would it have been like the end of OT1 and gone into OT2?
CBS did a horrible job explaining what was going on with the clock in OT1, when they finally mentioned it with only a few seconds showing it was mixed in with Romo's diarrhea mouth. Below are the rules, OT1 going into OT2 is the same as what happens between the 1st & 2nd and 3rd & 4th quarters, if somehow they played through OT2 it's basically like halftime without the break.
QuoteOVERTIME RULES FOR NFL POSTSEASON GAMES
Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs.- If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.
- There will be a two-minute intermission between each overtime period. There will not be a halftime intermission after the second period.
- The captain who lost the first overtime coin toss will either choose to possess the ball or select which goal his team will defend, unless the team that won the coin toss deferred that choice.
- Each team will have an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime.
- Each team gets three timeouts during a half.
- The same timing rules that apply at the end of the second and fourth regulation periods also apply at the end of a second or fourth overtime period.
- If there is still no winner at the end of a fourth overtime period, there will be another coin toss, and play will continue until a winner is declared.
