    Bradley Roby suspended too.

    Maybe hiring Brian Cushing as a strength and conditioning coach was a bad idea Bill O’Brien

    I have no sympy for these clods.  If you have to do piss tests you get clearance from the PA and the league before you start taking all that shit they sell at the GNC or out of some muscleheads trunk

    I agree. It’s pretty clear he only became apologetic when teams were taking him off their boards. If it was one incident, I’d be willing to say that it was a catastrophic mistake and he should be allowed to try and make amends. But it lasted from elementary to high school. I don’t care how young you are, not racially and physically abusing someone for years is not some hard life lesson that needs to be learned. 
     

    I don’t expect professional athletes to be saints, but no one is entitled to a career in the NHL. His talents have gotten him into a good university he should use that opportunity to better himself and find something fulfilling to do. 
     

    As much as I’d love to think that he would be shunned in locker rooms, after hearing about the horror stories of abuse in Canadian junior hockey hazing rituals, I’m not sure a lot of hockey players would see the gravity of what he did. 

    If he was good enough he was going to get drafted and in a different time his past would have been swept away like a Steve Downie.  David Poile is still employed in hockey and he drafted Brian Sakic.  His due diligence with that was to ask Sakic what happened and he bought Sakic's explanation.

    And that's half of the problem right there. Yeah, sure, you're on TV every week, but that doesn't mean much if you're being trounced every week, likely no comeuppance in sight, and working with someone with a history of injuring others. But you do you.

    Don't worry she will get her release soon and AEW will snap her up so she and Miro can duet I've Had The Time Of My Life on Dynamite so you guys can pop and call it the best thing you ever saw.

  4. This is why if you really think you are the man you step up and take a challenge against a guy people say is a level or 2 above you even if you lose you lost to the best and if it winds up close you are better from the experience.  Or you come up with a game plan that freezes the better guy up and you win going away.  Teo is the man.  Meanwhile Devin Haney is fighting Yuri Gamboa.  So much wasted talent floating around out there content on fighting smaller guys and no hopers for fringe interim belts.  Then he will move to Welterweight or something and say Teo ducked him

  5. Poor LeVeon thought he could hold out then cash in.  He winds up losing the years franchise tag salary then signs with the Jets for a lower guarantee than he would have got from Pittsburgh's offer.  In the NFL get your money when you can especially in the era of low values for running backs

    It was horrific.

    And after he couldn't come to terms on an extension and was playing on the franchise tag. Fucking hell. He might've just lost ~$200 million.

    Basically what I thought. Might be stuck on another 1 year deal next year if he is even able to go

    I've heard that Hendrix used the same quote Clapton used, only about Rory Gallagher. 

    Personally I'm fine NOT having shredders on the list. We need emotional content, as Bruce Lee once said. If anyone says Yngwie they should be forced to listen to Uli Jon Roth at gunpoint. 

    EDIT: And where the fuck is my brain today? BUCK FUCKING DHARMA. 

    EDIT II: Okay it is silly to say listen to the shredder that influenced the other shredder. If you bring up Yngwie then we force you to listen to Shitlickers at gunpoint. 

    The same quote has gone around Canada only it is Eddie Van Halen being asked what it is like to be the best guitarist and he replies I don't know ask Bruce Cockburn.

    Vladdy Jr's focusing on first base going forward.

    Also, Travis Shaw already seems to be getting squirrely about not being able to leave the Skydome hotel. Coolcoolcool.

    1B/DH going forward.  And probably heavier on the DH until he decides to get his flabby ass into shape.  Shaw's frustration is that he can see the condo he bought during spring training a block away and he can't go there.  Is what it is

    Plus isn’t Cole’s deal supposedly up in August or September? Having him beat Keith Lee is totally stupid especially as it means they’d hotshot the NXT title onto Karrion Kross (who I like, but isn’t more deserving than Keith Lee).

    Cole is under contract for another year apparently 

  10. So called world class fighters don't usually get drubbed out of the ring like he was.  You live in some bizarre world where suddenly Wilder is going to suddenly develop even marginal boxing skills all of a sudden in his mid 30's.  He put Fury down but he got up.  Again don't know why you figure well next time Tyson won't get up.  George Foreman knocked everyone out until he ran into someone he couldn't and then he was a guy that threw undisciplined haymakers that got stopped and though he won a couple more fights before he retired he wasn't the same.  Fury knows what to do to negate Wilder's 1 skill and when it comes to the psychological aspects of this Fury is in that driver seat as well.  When you know you can kick someones ass a good chunk of the fight is won already..  Wilder isn't going to become Ali in a few months when he has a Rocky 3 moment with Apollo Creed. He is going to be a guy that tries something for a round or two that will look awkward and won't look good then start chucking.  Fury will just get inside his power again, push him around lean on him and enforce all of his size advantages on him.  50 pounds is a lot of weight to give up to someone. Wilder flat out doesn't have the frame to handle an inside fight and lacks the skill to do anything on the outside.  I have undersold Fury for his whole career.  He knows what to do in the ring and fully knows what he does best and how to use his advantages.  He was the one that brought something new to the table for the second fight.  So unless Deontay pulls a Foreman and comes back and comes back balder and huskier but more disciplined in 10 years he won't change and that Wilder loses 10 out of 10 times to Fury.  Well maybe 9 times with a gift draw thrown in there

    The round thing is not really the part I would hang my hat on. In like seventeen total rounds against Luis Ortiz, I may have given Wilder three rounds. Maybe four. Against better boxers, Wilder is going to lose rounds.

    Against a better fighter he got his ass kicked last time out and looked out of his league.  You don't want to hang your hat on winning rounds thing fine. Problem is you need to win rounds to win fights because eventually you run into someone that negates your power.

    The full story of Kevin Keegan's "I will love it" rant - Telegraph

    I would love it if Deontay fucks it all up by knocking Fury out. That last fight felt like a fully optimized Fury vs. the worst iteration of Wilder I've seen. Maybe Fury was rusty during the first fight. Maybe. But Deontay is capable of so much more.

    Don't count on it.  The blueprint was drawn on what to do to beat Wilder.  Not many can actually execute it but a larger, stronger better boxer like Fury should eat his lunch no problem again since Wilder lacks the ability to adapt and change his style.  Is Wilder 40+ fights into his career going to be able to suddenly out fight a guy that has arguably bested him in 17 of the 19 rounds they have fought.  I guess if Tyson walks into a haymaker but then you have that playing on Wilder's psyche. Fury is the one guy that has ate his power and got up twice and not succumbed

  13. LT only wanted out of the deal when he found out the Giants deal was worth twice as much.  Someone in the NFLPA sent LT to Trump and told him to go without representation. LTs agent at the time wrote a great book years ago.  Trump got $750,000 out of the Giants. He probably was holding out for a percentage of the team

    Oh, before I forget, one story that's come back up during the tributes to Shula, was that he came *this close* to coaching the USFL's NJ Generals.  

    The story was that he'd pretty much agreed to the compensation, but wanted a free apartment in Trump Tower but Don didn't want to budge on that. Our future President, being who he is, went on TV and announced it was a done deal.   Take it from here Hank:

     

     

    Was this around the same time he signed Lawrence Taylor away from the Giants then sold him back?

    But Schultz wasn't fired over the 20/20 thing, he was fired over the incident with Mr T (Who in fact was THE reason Wrestlemania was a smashing success). If you mess with the guy who a show that will make or break the company is built around there's a pretty good chance you'll get fired.

    Yeah that's the story I have heard in interviews.  Shultz was pissed he was moving down the card and was moved out in favour of Orndorff so he decided to try and start something with Mr T to kick start it.  Supposedly he kept yelling come on D vs T.  Being Shultz probably called him boy a bunch of times too.  Probably pissed Mr. T off.  You can't undersell what Mr. T brought to that promotion.  The Cyndi Lauper connection got them on MTV then in the WrestleMania build up it got Hogan and Mr T on Saturday Night Live as the guest hosts for an episode.  Shultz was a little too wild for his own good.  No way Crockett would use him once they were on TBS.  Ted Turner would have popped a brain vessel if Shultz did a promo saying Dusty Rhodes has AIDS

    So Stossel pulled one of those Dennis Miller ideological 180s? Great, another guy I liked as a kid down. I haven't paid any attention to what he's been up to since back then when I loved him trashing people on 20/20.

    You assume they have done 180's as opposed to saying what they are told too buy whoever is cutting the paycheque and keeping personal opinions out of it.

    Oh Mansfield isn't coming off that well either.  I mean nobody believes he did what he did because of a lack of insurance and a retirement plan

    I liked that they brought up the total hypocrisy of Schultz getting almost blackmailed while Hogan shoot chokes the shit out of Belzer and gets a slap on the wrist 

    The villa in France Belzer bought with Hogan's money is a bit more than a slap on the wrist.  Plus Belzer literally asked to be put in a hold.  Stossel was just a smart ass that was asking to get slapped but didn't actually verbalize it.  Don't know how it is hypocrisy.  The top guy on the card versus a guy moving down the card aren't treated the same?  Quelle surprise.  It's like complaining the Quarterback and the backup Left Guard aren't treated the same.  Like being surprised that Ric Flair and Denny Brown wouldn't be treated the same
