  1. in the long run it's all going to come down to money. How much more money are we going to make by adding to the playoffs. If it's enough (which is probably is) they will add.
  2. It depends. I love the wildcard because it adds more excitement to the end of the year. I am a big believer that MLB, NBA, NHL, and College Basketball season doesn't start till finale month of the regular season. They have long seasons and people really only care about their playoffs. If that one round is going to add to the excitement that the wildcard provides then I am all for it, but will this mean that Albert Pujols will become Mr. November/beginning of December? One thing I find funny is they say that they want to take teams away from baseball (which I am for in a lot of sports). They are saying teams like Marlins, Rays, etc leaving and I think those aren't the teams to take. If the Rays can get a new ball park in an area that isn't a retirement area and place them in a more central location of Hillsborough County then I think you could see the Rays avg what the Yankee do a night. Florida Fans (outside of Jacksonville) are really good about attending winning teams with nice stadiums. Marlins haven't because well honestly Pro Player Stadium isn't a baseball park and it's not in the greatest location. The Trop is also in a horrible location and near more people from up north then people who grew up here. I would think teams like Blue Jays, Brewers (never happen as long as Selig is in office) Royals, Pirates, Oakland (unless they get a new stadium), Washington (wont happen with that new stadium), Astros, being more worthy of being taken out. Mainly the Royals and Pirates.
  3. if it was the deadball era then I could understand. Pretty much it was a time when pitchers were just bonkers good. Each team had starters that could post under 3.50 ERA. Speed was king back then and fundamentals were huge (bunts, stealing, defense)
  4. So I know people have been going on about this for weeks, but I think the worse thing the Panthers could do in this years draft is draft Cam 1st Overall. I think if they were smart they would try to trade down and get someone else. This years QB class is amazing and you have a bunch of QB's that can truly start in the NFL. I don't know what to think of Cam he impresses me at times and then kills me at times. I still think he will be the next Reggie Bush (someone is going to come out and say they paid him and he knew it). Also Carolina has a great run game and are starting to rebuild their WR depth. I think Ryan Mallet could do really well there. Also when did a college player not knowing about what the school and it's father were doing still not make him involved like the NCAA said Cam wasn't. Was it just because he was so popular?
  5. I have only read a little about Tris, but from what I read Tris didn't have the strongest arm and many ran on him which could lead to that high number. Hell I remember one year Manny had like 8 OF assist.
  6. SA is the perfect team in the NBA to model your team after. They build through the draft and even though the usually pick at the end of the draft the continue to hit on their picks. Also this is just word of mouth, but a co-worker today mentioned that there is an architect out there that wants to build a retractable roof stadium for an NBA team so there can be games played outside. Now at first I don't believe this will happen, but I think that would be extremely cool. Living in Florida there is nothing like a great summer night. Watching a basketball game in Florida at night would be cool.
  7. he said Kidd and Stockton were the best PG to (excluding Magic because he was a hybird) I couldn't believe he left out Nash. Nash hasn't been the best for his who career and he got screwed because his numbers were helped by the offense, but Nash is one of the best passers ever. I could see KG being in there, but Tim to me is the best because of his numbers and 4 Rings with a chance for more. I would choose Bob Pettit second though. Pettit played for 11 years and he was great each year.
  8. What does Horny do know a days. Is he still just the comedy act. Also like you said the supp. draft is usually for people who have gone stale or have nothing so the move them and usually cut them. I also marked when Cena went back to Raw because Christian is pretty much the new champ. I am happy for him.
  9. So Charles Barkley was on the Dan Patrick show this morning and he said Tim Duncan and him were the best PF in the history of the game with Karl coming in 3rd. He said the only reason Karl had numbers like he did was because of Stockton. He also said Rondo is extremely talented, but the only reason he is considered top 5 PG is because he plays with so much talent. He said Rondo is the PG you want if you have scorers on your team, but not the guy you want to be your leader which is why he isn't in his top 5.
  10. I think most USA shows do really well at putting seasons together. Psych puts some of the better season finales on. One thing I think makes a tv series great (and often times can lead to it's failure) is a series that goes into a season with an overall plan. Shows like Burn Notice, Supernatural, Lost, V, Fringe, Sons of Anarchy, etc. These shows have actual plans coming into their shows and to me it makes them exciting knowing every show (for the most part) has something to do with the series main story arch. These shows have season arch but they also have a main story arch that is even bigger to the series.
  11. It's not that, Eric and Hulk are trying to recapture the Magic that NWO did for WCW and it isn't working.
  12. Why Dolph and Vickie is great. Dolph right now is one of WWE top heel's and Vickie just puts that heat on him even more.
  13. Not really more reading the spoilers to check up on it. I know the main storyline though right now is Fortune vs Immortals which reminds me a lot of NWO vs Horsemen and New Breed vs Millionaire club
  14. I use to love watching TNA because they featured different wrestlers. Now Eric and Hulk pretty much made it WCW (or old men on top) 2.0. It's no disrespect, but I love AJ Styles, Beer Money, Lethal (when he was there) MCMG, and many more
  15. So I finally watched that Battlefield Earth Movie and geez I thought Waterworld sucked.
  16. I agree, poor Nugs. Now stop crying about it and move forward. I understand it sucks when a ref blows a call that can cost you a game, but growing up I was always told one thing no matter who my coach was "Don't let the ump decide the game". Pretty much meaning limit your mistakes so the umps don't make a bad decision. Also who does everyone think will be MVP. I believe it should be Howard and not because I am a Magic fan. I really looked into the battle between Rose and Howard, without Howard the Magic would probably have missed the playoffs. Without Rose the Bulls were still a solid team and more than likely made the playoffs. Now I think this year is one of the harder choices because Rose did it without Noah and Boozer at times, but he still usually had a comb. of Boozer, Deng, and Rose or Noah, Deng, and Rose on the court. Rose improved greatly this year and should people a lot. With Howard it's clear though, when he isn't in the game they lose. He dominated the Hawks down low in game one, but he truly has no one around him that stepped up. Howard is now getting the hack a shaq treatment, but the difference is he doesn't have anyone on that team who can step up and takeover. Howard posted career highs in PPG, Missed highest in REB by .1, career high in STL. I think what hurts Howard is his FT, if he could hit those better we are talking about a guy who probably could have avg 26 ppg this year. Again I see the argument for both player. I personally believe Howard should be the MVP, but I can understand if Rose got it. Also Adelman did a wonderful job with the Rockets. Like he said he came to coach McGrady and Yao and neither were really healthy. He still did one hell of a job for them and if Stan Van ever got fired he'd be the guy I want
  17. Not always, sometime it could be because of reshoots or other projects the actors were working on.
  18. Movie studios only care if the movie flops. Transformers hasn't so I doubt they care . But I also think that's a huge problem with video game and toy game movies. If the writer wasn't a fan of the stuff before, how in the blue hell is he going to write a script that will catch the attention of the fans who want to see it. My favorite thing is I don't think Michael Bay is that bad of a director. Many people bash him and say he sucks and all he wants is explosions..... Well DUH! that's his M.O. J.J Abrams is suspense, Nolan is a mind bender, Scorsese is drama/old style, Spielberg is alien's. Bay hasn't always been about explosions, but the bad acting and horrible script for Transformers wasn't his fault. You can only do so much with what you have.
  19. I'm one of those people who just like movies. I see where they are bad and stuff, but I just love movies. It takes you away from life and puts you in a fantasy world even if for 2 hours. I just finished watching Battle for L.A. and damn that was a good movie.
  20. goose bumps. In two weeks Summer blockbusters pretty much kick off. We get Fast 5 4-29-11, Thor 5-6-2011 Priest 5-13-11 (not as big, but I am excited) Pirates 4 5-20-11, Hangover Part 2, Kung Fu Panda 2 5-26-11 X-Men 6-3-2011 Super 8 6-10-11 Green Lantern 6-17-10 Transformers 7-1-11 Harry Potter 8 7-15-11 Captain America 7-22-11 Cowboys and Aliens 7-29-11 (honestly the one I am looking forward to the most. Most of these have the high budget and big fan base, but I love Jon as a director) Smurfs 8-3-11 (hey I watched them as a kid and I have a kid and niece who want to see them) Rise of the Apes 8-5-11 (please be better then the last one) Conan the Barbarian 8-19-11 Moneyball 9-23-11 There are a bunch more to. Rum Diary comes out this year which as Depp in it and I have been waiting for that for a couple of years now. Of course Paranormal Activity 3 comes out. ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest . Halloween 3, I am excited because Rob Zombie really (to me) gave Meyers depth other than I kill. Puss in Boots, what I thought the last three sherk's sucked, but I loved Puss in Boots. 11-11-11 okay I bought into the promo's. Twlight I am more happy because then one more and we can get out of the kiss and hug vampires and get back to the Robert Downey Jr. version of lestat . Sherlock Holmes 2 YES!!! Mission impossible 4 comes out to close out the year along with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (read the book it is worth it) Overall this looks to be a great year for movies Here is a link for people who want to see what is coming out. http://www.movieweb.com/movies/2011
  21. Just because someone doesn't hold a title doesn't mean that haven't and cant be that guy. Show and Kane are old and would be more of trans. champs now. Rey has been there, Christian is over with the fans and Rio is probably going to win at Extreme Rules. Kingston hasn't been pushed like that because in my opinion he lacks a little on the Mic. SD is the second brand though and if anything they can move a person from Raw over to SD to take over a feud with Del Rio. I can't remember either the last time WWE built a PPV off a SD mainevent. Hell Del Rio was the Rumble winner and him and Edge went on first.
  22. First off no girl ever screams Main Event. Second Matt Cross didn't show the team anything and he looked lost on the show. He was the smallest wrestler (I believe) on the show. Luke is the only one who seems like he will make anything of himself. Most wrestlers don't start off as great wrestlers. They have charisma and work their butts off to become good wrestlers. I mean if you want a wrestler that can make others look good and put on good matches, then Cross is your man. If you want someone who will contend for the highest titles and sell merch Cross isn't the man, which makes him not WWE's man.
