And now we get another 3 or 4 days if the anti soccer people saying "THIS IS WHY SOCCER SUCKS WE ARE CELEBRATING A LOSS'.
As if no other team in the NFL/NBA/MLB clinched a playoff spot due to another team losing on the same day that they lost.
-
If the US had won or even pulled out a draw, my reaction probably would have been "Fuck, yeah, America! Let's go invade a foreign country to celebrate!"

Can Great Muta put Dixie through a table?
That's really all I ask from TNA, Dixie going through a table.

This is all for nothing. What percentage would you place on LeBron leaving Miami.. 5%?
I'd say 30%, but then again saying something has a 30% chance of happening is the biggest cop out of all time. It is the sweet spot where if it happens you can claim you predicted it, but if it doesn't you can say, well it was only a 30% chance.
I've never heard of this sweet spot. How does 30% give you claim to a prediction? You're saying 70% chance he doesn't leave. That's what you get to claim. If you bet on a horse that has 70% chance of winning, you don't get to claim money on the 30% when it loses.
Is this a Michael Wilbon invention?
If you say that there is a 70% chance of Lebron leaving, you get to say that you predicted him staying if he stays and you get to say that you gave him the highest odds if he leaves. Most people will say 100%, almost 100%, 50-50, almost 0%, or zero %. If no one is saying 50-50, then predicting halfway between 50-50 and 90-10 gives you the best chance of having it both ways.

Hey, how did FSW get banned? Curious, and I don't know where else to ask...
It's been discussed in the Godammit thread. Maybe we need a Valhalla thread for fallen posters, whether they died by the banhammer or just simply disappeared.

Wow that's gotta be a board record for quickest spoiler tag spoiled by a following post.
Five minutes?

If whoever wins the title is going to end up facing Lesnar at Summerslam, how do you rank the MITB match participants in terms of who you want to win and end up in that match? Does your ranking of Cesaro depend upon if you expect him to win or lose at Summerslam?

Replace any Spanish SAP with Matthews/Borash.

That's what I was thinking with the Pelicans. Why trade a likely lottery pick for a guy who pouted over being a backup center, who will likely be a backup center on your team AND he's a 1-year rental.
Because he's on the same tier as Dwight Howard and Kevin Love when it comes to rebounding and he's on the same tier as Marc Gasol and Dwight Howard when it comes to defense.
New Orleans pretty clearly intends to start Asik and Davis together.

I want Tenay/Matthews, not Tazz/Matthews.

I don't understand the ins and outs of soccer fandom, but are you saying that despite there being tons of occasions when it is correct to call someone out for being affluent and white, FSW happened to pick an occasion when it wasn't appropriate?
-
I'm glad. I always hated his Gen Y Quasi-Cole Broke Dick Hipster Ass. He's one of the worst I've ever heard at actually putting over what is happening on the screen and usually just ends up trying to bury whoever he's with in the booth. He was insufferable.
So he was like an internet forum denizen trying to be an announcer?

If we can get Rondo, J Smoove and Boogie on the same team, I think Adam Silver needs to somehow force the Cavs to trade them Dion Waiters.
Wouldn't Jordan Crawford be a better PG for that team?
-
I have zero belief that a team with Josh Smith, Rudy Gay, Demarcus Cousins, and Rajon Rondo would do anything but implode.
You need to put Josh Smith on a team with an established C and PF so he has to play SF.

What if, instead of Magic Johnson, it is Michael Jordan who retires in 1991 after announcing he has HIV?
-
I like AtH when Jackie MacMullen shows up. I like PTI when she is a substitute host. The same goes for Bob Ryan. I don't think it is surprising that they are the two AtH guests with a winning percentage over 30%.

It depends on the timetable for Daniel Bryan's return. If he can wrestle at Battleground, I can see Kane winning MITB to set up yet another Kane-Bryan match. In that case, I think the title shot briefcase should go to the guy you would be most excited to see cash it in successfully on Daniel Bryan if he is the champion in November or December. I think that should be Barrett.
I think I would be highly amused by the internet reaction if Cesaro won followed by Swagger immediately cashing in the briefcase and becoming champion.
-
Goddammit, FSW, why'd you have to get banned before I found the right spot to use the "There's no cure for being a Fat Spanish Waiter" line that I've been saving up?
-
Putting Kane in the match is as simple as him signing a contract, but they'd have to go through legal wranglings to break any contracts that have already been signed.
It's easier for this match because there are no titles being defended. Hell of a lot of paperwork if that were the case.

Wouldn't it be fun if you could have a wrestler who was a former football player have a feud with a wrestler who was a former soccer player over a comment by the football guy that soccer isn't a real sport, then let them beat the crap out of each other and let the fans decide who the heel and face are?

Is there a way you could partially file through the springs so that they will eventually collapse, but not right away?
-
The WWE doesn't want men to physically harm women anymore -- especially faces. That is a gigantic positive and step in the right direction. So it's really hard for a male wrestler to do something to Steph because of that.
The ideal male wrestler to have some sort of feud with Stephanie is John Cena because he can humiliate her with Photoshop promos.

Fuck the bros next door who bought a fucking trampoline and jump on it all fucking day and night. We essentially share a backyard, and with the windows open all summer I've now gotta listen to ceaseless springs screeching and bro talk.
Go out in the middle of the night and sabotage the trampoline.

I will verify it as true. A key reason is because England failed to qualify in 1994 when the US made it to the knockout stage.
