  1. Remember in 2005 when all the Chiefs RBs got hurt and 3rd stringer, Larry Johnson, ended up with over 1700yds and 20 total TDs in just the last 9 games? He would have obliterated the single season rushing record had he played the whole season.

  2. I just saw Rogue Nation and I loved it. This franchise apparently caught the same disease the Fast and Furious series caught. I thought this series was dead after the 3rd movie, but Ghost Protocal totally revitalized the series and Rogue Nation just builds off of that momentum.

    I actually haven't seen the first movie in a long time, same with the 2 & 3, so I'm not sure how it holds up. I was quite fond of the game on my N64, though

  3. I can only imagine how long those Tuesay tapings went. Especially when Raw moved to two hours, plus heat and Shotgun tapings? Had to be at least four hours.

    The only Tuesday taping I went to turned out to be Superstars plus the redo of Beware of Dog, where the lights went out during the PpV a couple days before. We didn't get out of there until nearly midnight. They taped a Superstars, then did the PPV live, then couple more Superstar tapings, then the Shawn Michaels v Goldust main event. If someone found that whole card, I would appreciate it. It was from May 1996

    Edit: found it.

    WWF @ North Charleston, SC - Coliseum - May 28, 1996 (4,500)

    WWF Superstars taping:

    Featured an untelevised segment where Vince McMahon announced that the Ultimate Warrior would not be able to compete against Vader as scheduled because Warrior injured his arm the night before against Goldust; Warrior still made an appearance though, appearing in a sling but was interrupted by Jim Corentte who called Warrior a chicken; Warrior responded that Cornette was the only tennis player he knew with no balls with Vader then attacking Warrior from behind; Warrior eventually cleared Vader from the ring with a clothesline

    In Your House: Beware of Dog 2 - shown live; featured Jim Ross & Mr. Perfect on commentary:

    Savio Vega defeated Steve Austin (w/ Ted Dibiase) in a Carribean strap match at 21:26 when Austin pulled Vega into the fourth and final corner after Vega touched the first three corners without Austin knowing; due to pre-match stipulations, Ted Dibiase was forced to leave the WWF; had Vega had lost the match, he would have been forced to become Dibiase's chauffer; after the bout, Austin stormed off while Vega sang "Na Na Hey Hey" to Dibiase (Dibiase's last appearance) (The Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin)

    Vader (w/ Jim Cornette) pinned Yokozuna at 8:54 with the Vader Bomb following an assault on Yoko's left knee after Yoko failed a Bonzai Drop on an interfering Cornette

    WWF IC Champion Goldust (w/ Marlena) defeated the Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) in a casket match at 12:34 when, after Taker hit the tombstone on the champion and prepared to stuff him inside the casket, Mankind came out of the casket, applied the Mandible Claw, forcing Taker into the casket, and then shut and locked the casket shut; after the bout, smoke came out of the casket and once it was opened, the Undertaker was no longer inside

  4. I remember when Venus and Serena first joined the pro tour and Martina Hingis was the future and dominant #1. I got curious and googled her and was surprised to find out they're the same fucking age! It's felt like Hingis has been retired for years

  5. Seriously. How close is Serena Williams to being the greatest tennis player ever? Dominating the sport since 1999. That's literally over half my life.
