Halfway through with the 1998 ECW Timeline with New Jack. Good so far and Jack is totally different here as he does not go off on anyone and stays calm the whole time. He still brings the crazy stories too.
ReplyDeleteClassic or Clusterfuck?
ReplyDeleteBrock Lesnar vs The Miz
Classic I think. Watching Lesnar toss him around like a rag doll has appeal
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in between.
ReplyDeleteI have been wiping glitter off of myself all damn afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWcw really started to go bad in 1998. This shit is almost unwatchable. I made through uncensored 98 but I might be about to tap out.
ReplyDeleteStar power was there and ratings kept steady until mid 99
ReplyDeleteSo if Reigns doesn't need hernia surgery and is able to work Night of Champions, does the Rollins-Cena-Brock angle play out as we saw it?
ReplyDeleteWin or lose, if Rollins goes through a grueling match against the powerhouse Reigns, would he even be in a condition to consider cashing in on Brock? I don't think WWE would want us thinking you can tangle with Reigns and walk away under your own power, let alone feel spry enough to take on Brock Lesnar an hour later.
Even as a guy that doesn't watch baseball... the Jeter thing is just sad.
ReplyDeleteIs it 99% rat related and how he owned them?? I've heard many stories of the guy being a douche to female fans (and actual ring rats)
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely not making Night of Champions...
Plan A was Kane.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it when the Wolfpac formed but you're a little before that.
ReplyDeleteHow so?
ReplyDeleteWatching American Hustle for the first time. I'm sure I'll be entertained.
ReplyDeleteFun fact, parts of that movie were filmed in my city
ReplyDeleteOk so what's the deal with the Nitro on the Network post? They removed an episode?
ReplyDeleteHavent got any rat stories yet
ReplyDeleteJust the end of an era in sports. Yeah, it'll always be just a game, but that guy means the world to a lot of people. I know more than a few who are going to be in tears tonight.
ReplyDeleteReally that's pretty awesome. Did it throw off your city? Traffic was a real bitch when they did the Winter Soldier here.
ReplyDeleteThey shot some Spiderman 2 in Rochester and it was an absolute pain in the ass. The main street of downtown was essentially closed off for the entire length of downtown.
ReplyDeleteDoes it impress anyone that HBO's Leftovers was filmed in my town? Lol nope
ReplyDeleteIt was on the other side of the city but yeah, they shut down the roads at night for some of the scenes
ReplyDeleteI started really paying attention to baseball in 1995, so he basically defines my fandom. With Jeter and Rivera both gone now, Yankee games will be much less must-see going forward.
ReplyDeleteA whole bunch of TV is filmed in my part of Queens.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters. Thought it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be very hard to create anything close to that again. He's arguably the greatest Yankee of all time.
ReplyDeleteFading the Giants-Redskins game, though I think the Redskins will win.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Lawrence was awesome. Bale was good too
ReplyDeleteSam Adams Octoberfest and Thursday Night Football... man I'm glad they decided to get that stuff on network television finally.
ReplyDeleteHope it's a shootout. I've got Cruz going.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, Mr. Bojack Horseman.
ReplyDeleteSo my job told me the harder I work, the more hours I will work. I actually want less hours, though, so I guess I should mail-it-in.
ReplyDeleteI have both Morris and Jennings
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I mark out when I recognize local things lol
ReplyDeleteJennifer was awesome in the Fappening too
ReplyDeleteno he's not; olbermann did a great segment on how way overrated he is. There are at least 10 better yankees.
ReplyDeleteCruz is an amazing second receiver, shame Nicks didn't work out in NY
ReplyDeleteDiMaggio is spinning in his grave right now
ReplyDeleteclassic asskicking
ReplyDeleteWork is so dumb. Mine recently told me that a position is available where I could get a 25% raise for doing less work... all because it manages twice as many people.
ReplyDeleteI still hate the new stadium. Crowd was a disappointment tonight during his first at bat. I miss the original :(
ReplyDeleteNicks is too injury prone
ReplyDeleteI hate people who say wrestling should be more like MMA. That would be like a football league wanting to be like the NFL, except the football league is fake.
ReplyDeleteIf Sid does not win this, all is wrong with the world.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sulky bitch too. Would have been a perfect world perfect 1-2 punch though
ReplyDeleteHe has the early lead but will he hold on until the end?
ReplyDeleteTUNE INTO THE BoD SATURDAY NIGHT THREAD AT 7PM EST TO FIND OUT
If it's the one in the hotel room though... the Sid one is just so bad.
ReplyDeleteYeah but I don't know why Cruz has decided to model his game after Braylon Edwards. He was doing fine before that.
ReplyDeleteThe DDP one with Scott Hudson the same weekend as the Nash one?
ReplyDeleteTha Mutha Ship, if you weeeel.
ReplyDeleteAll that did was prove to me that Jeter is in the LeBron/Mayweather range, in which the worst thing critics can say about you is that you're not the greatest of all-time.
ReplyDeleteSid! Sid! Sid!
ReplyDeleteIts the RF Video one. Just picked it up and have not seen it yet .
ReplyDeleteNo way.
ReplyDeleteOK.. for the first time ever, I watched 5 minutes of Total Divas.. now I want to blow my brains out. How do people watch that shit??? I thought Raw's story lines were bad.. that show is worse.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else's Facebook feed filled with people chattering about Scandal? People live blog that show like it's a PPV here on the BOD.
ReplyDeleteThere were scenes in the second season of Orange is the New Black filmed in spots I walk by every day. They filmed parts of S3 down the street from me.
ReplyDeleteRaw has storylines....where?
ReplyDeleteEh, I think he's just shouldered too much of the burden. At times for the past season or two, he's been the only competent guy to throw to. If McAdoo's offense starts to gel, he can hopefully rebound
ReplyDeleteIt's no better or worse than any other reality show.
ReplyDelete10 might be pushing it, but he's definitely behind Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, and DiMaggio.
ReplyDeleteI have not once in my life seen a Facebook post about Scandal.
ReplyDeleteOlbermann said Graig Nettles was a better Yankee than Derek Jeter. Nettles? C'mon.
ReplyDeleteTune in to see stars like Abeyance, Parallax, Bobby, Steve Ferrari, and Jobber123. Plus, who will have a meltdown and leave forever (two weeks)?
ReplyDeleteTUNE IN TO FIND OUT
And yet a fan of Scandal (or Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones, etc.) will still give you the "You know wrestling is fake, right?" line...
ReplyDeleteThe girls are very attractive.
ReplyDeleteI tried once, and there was this huge vaccum tube that came out of the back of my TV and was heading straight for my brain. I had to fight that thing off.
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself lucky. On my feed there is a person (who's about to get dropped from my timeline) counting down the minutes.
ReplyDeleteYeah I am not a fan of reality show either.. I have never watched Housewives or any other of those type. Knowing production and editing the way I do, it all seems so fake to me..
ReplyDelete*rubs hands together* Ohhh man, I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI think Redskins will get rid of RGIII next year.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather watch porn.
ReplyDeleteWell, that goes for anything, really.
ReplyDeleteIf that match went any longer than 90 seconds everyone on the booking team needs to be shitcanned.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you need any background in production or editing to see how fake reality TV is... just as fake as any sitcom.
ReplyDeleteOlberman should know better. The guy is on record as being a baseball fan and a historian. He's just trying to be "that guy".
ReplyDeleteI always respond to that with...
ReplyDelete"What's your favorite show of all time?"
They'll respond with something horrible like... Buffy... and I'll say...
"You know that's fake, right?"
I would also say Rivera, ford and berra are better than him
ReplyDeleteI actually watch that show after a girl I was trying to get with got me hooked. Same thing with Soap Operas back in the day. I will watch anything if it might get me closer to sex..
ReplyDeleteBeing "that guy" is Olberman's whole career.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I don't think Jeter was at any point the best player on his own team.
Hopefully you played Jennings last week!
ReplyDeleteAre there any stellar QB prospects for next years draft? Because I don't think Cousins is a guy who you can build a team around. I think they'll give him one last chance next year and get rid of him then if he fails/gets hurt again.
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed how much they're using Donnell ...fumble last week aside, he hasn't been bad either. Shockey must be drunk in a bar somewhere wondering why they didn't force it to him like this
ReplyDeleteI don't like to compare pitchers to position players, but agree on Berra.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Cousins a guy you can build the team around?
ReplyDeleteToo hard to compare pitchers and position players.
ReplyDeleteHe played like shit at the end of the season last year.
ReplyDeleteDerek Jeter vs. Roger Maris. Pick 'em.
ReplyDeleteJeter
ReplyDeleteManning was awful his first year.
ReplyDeleteI did and still got smoked
ReplyDeleteMaris only played 12 seasons and hit .260 for his career. Most notable for 61*
ReplyDeleteYou know, not everyone is a fan of Peyton Manning but the dude knows his sandwiches. Chicken Parm DOES taste so good.
ReplyDeleteMaris
ReplyDeleteJeter. Outside of one season Maris was an average player at best.
ReplyDeleteAre we really undervaluing Jeter that much to put Maris in the mix? Brady Anderson busy or something for a one year wonder spot?
ReplyDeleteTo which they'll sometimes say, "Yeah, but they don't try to act like it's real."
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll say, "Really? So during an intense scene in Breaking Bad, Cranston turns to the screen and reminds us that he's not really getting shot at?"
I'm going with guys whose numbers are retired as a measuring stick for the greatest Yankees.
ReplyDeleteIf Jeter was ugly nor a yankee, he would not be getting this much love. Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson are 2 of the greatest players of all time and are not getting this much press nor love on their farewell tour.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes ever better after getting a superbowl rin.....
ReplyDeletenevermind.
So easy to make too. You probably have everything needed in your kitchen right now.
ReplyDeleteHuh, didn't know Maris's number was retired...still Jeter though here
ReplyDeleteHer best role yet.
ReplyDeleteMaris' career #'s: .260 BA, 1325 hits, .345 OBP, 275 HR in 12 seasons.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, average.
In my old neighborhood in Harlem, they film at least one Law & Order SVU scene every two months. Never could figure out if that was good or bad.
ReplyDeleteThat's not even close. And I can't stand the hero worship that goes on around Jeter. But Maris isn't in the same league.
ReplyDeleteJeter cause I know zilch about Maris sans the homerun thing.
ReplyDeleteThere's not much else to Maris outside the homerun thing.
ReplyDeleteTHIS. If he played for any other team (outside of the Sawx, maybe), no one would give a fuck.
ReplyDeleteFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I shoot on football during the work week? I hate it for college and pro but for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteJeter is so much about the team....even though he batted the entire season in the 2 spot despite having 9 spot numbers.
ReplyDeleteYep, he's second tier all time yankee, but I'm not sure I'd put Maris even 3rd or 4th tier
ReplyDeleteScrew it. I list 'em. Feel free to re-rank:
ReplyDelete1. Babe Ruth
2. Lou Gehrig
3. Joe DiMaggio
4. Mickey Mantle
5. Yogi Berra
6. Mariano Rivera
7. Reggie Jackson
8. Derek Jeter
9. Whitey Ford
10. Thurman Munson
2x MVP
ReplyDeleteare you subliminally telling us you joined the klan?
ReplyDeleteAnd for this, you can blame the, what, four or five teams that passed on Jeter in the 1992 draft.
ReplyDeleteThis, tonight, it's all the fault of the Houston Astros. Blame them.
That's just plain rude
ReplyDeleteThe pro game's turning to pure crap. Only watching for Giants. Never liked college
ReplyDeletelooks good with me; could argue over a spot here or there
ReplyDeleteA-Rod>Jeter.
ReplyDeletemy apologies
ReplyDeleteFuck everyone that has ever worn that uniform. Fuck them IN THE ASS
ReplyDeleteLeave those tweens alone!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I was just kidding
ReplyDeleteTuesday is still an off day right? So they only prepared for what? two days?
ReplyDeleteI'd put Jeter ahead of Jackson but behind Ford.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't argue this.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't. I apologize for outing you
ReplyDeleteAs a Yankee? No way.
ReplyDeleteWhich isn't exactly true. Maris was a 2x MVP, played solid defense as an OF, and if baseball-reference was working for me at the moment, pretty sure he got traded to the Cards and was a solid player for them when they made their pennant runs in the late 60s.
ReplyDeleteDo you honestly think I would have talked to one of you people this long if that were true?
ReplyDeleteI would have Jeter ahead of Rivera.
ReplyDeleteagree; overall careers (arod); on yankees (jeter)
ReplyDeleteYou high? Jackson is 1.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't tell you for sure, but that sounds right. They should stop fucking around and just squash college football on saturday nights. "Safe and healthy" league and short weeks with no time to prepare for next or recover from last does not compute
ReplyDeleteJeter was picked that high?
ReplyDeleteCONTEXT. 60's weren't exactly a time of high powered offense.
ReplyDeleteReggie over Derek, Whitey AND Thurman?!?! Reggie was a Yankee for only five seasons.
ReplyDeleteI meant overall. If it weren't for A-Rod's inconsistencies in the playoffs, I'd rank him higher.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, the whole team had 9 spot numbers except Gardner and Ellsbury, but the logic checks out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Pre-Yankees, A-Rod was amazing and probably a much better shortstop than Jeter. But since 2004, it's been a downhill slide for A-Rod.
ReplyDeleteHe was the straw that stirred the drink during the 70's dynasty. I figured his impact was a little greater.
ReplyDelete"Get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts..."
ReplyDeleteCracks me up every single time.
The NCAA has zero excuse. Education my behind. You got kids missing class time to play a game that could easily wait until Saturday. then the people that travel for it, what about them? Just say you trying to get this money and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteOK, but Stranger was listing as Yankees. A-Rod's not there, and given his history, you'll never find a Yankee fan admit that he ever will be.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot he's on the team.
ReplyDeleteMantle ahead of DiMaggio for sure.
ReplyDeleteFair. I might sneak Winfield on there
ReplyDeleteNonono
ReplyDeleteYou may have given yourself the illusion that you aren't actually talking to one of us since this is the interwebs and all
ReplyDeleteOk. So a solid player for the Cards in 67 when the won the WS. Dropped off in 68 when the Cards lost to Detroit.
ReplyDeleteidk.. I think Cal Ripken deserves to be on that list. and Willie Mays.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the "he shouldn't be batting second" argument only comes in from Jeter haters. The majority of the team has hit like crap all season. I'm not sure what kind of difference there would have been batting Jeter lower in the order.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the Yankees stunk when he was there. I mean, not from a Red Sox point of view however. Good they sucked.
ReplyDeleteIt's the greatest Yankees of all time.
ReplyDeleteUntil like a week ago I thought that was you in your avatar for fucks sake.
ReplyDeletePower-wise maybe, but the league BA has been pretty consistent since the dead ball era ended.
ReplyDeleteHe loses points for playing in the most forgettable Yankee era.
ReplyDeleteWait? It's not?
ReplyDeleteWho are Guys the Yankees wished they had in their prime?
ReplyDeleteHe was from 2000-2003 I think. Post Beast Mode Bernie, Pre A-Rod
ReplyDeleteThat still cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteOh shit.. I didn't see anything saying that. my bad
ReplyDeleteNo. And his name isn't Devin Harris... apparently Devin Harris plays sportsball
ReplyDelete1. Ruth
ReplyDelete2. Gehrig
3. Mantle
4. DiMaggio
5. Berra
6. Jeter
7. Rivera
8. Ford
9. Munson
10. O'Neil
Since 2000, are the Yankees really 1-4 in the World Series?
ReplyDelete1-2
ReplyDeleteUm. No. Not even close.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees had either the fifth or sixth pick in the 1992 draft. They didn't think Jeter was going to fall that far, he was expected to go first, but the Astros decided to draft someone else.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to State's homecoming in November. You should join me. You'd probably feel right at home.
ReplyDeleteO'Neill, really? Interesting choice. Where's Mattingly? Also noticeable absent from my own list.
ReplyDeleteThe D-Backs, Marlins, Phillies. I guess 1-3.
ReplyDeleteThey beat the Phillies.
ReplyDeleteOut of the Big 3 Shortstops, Jeter was for sure my least favorite as a kid behind ARod and Nomah.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure I would... wait you are a Cock?
ReplyDelete2000: def. NYM in 5 games
ReplyDelete2001: lost to ARZ in 7 games
2003: lost to FLA in 6 games
2009: def. PHI in 6 games
Shocking.
ReplyDeleteAnything prior to the 1970s, I can greatly get into. Some of my favorite ballplayers of all time (Berra, Gehrig, Maris, Mantle) were Yankees. But when the '70s rolled around and Steinbrenner bought the team, fuck 'em all.
ReplyDeleteI thought they lost to them one year and then they got their revenge a few years later.
ReplyDeleteRipken is the most overrated player of all time.
ReplyDeleteNope, Philly one won one ring in this run and they beat Tampa.
ReplyDeleteAh. Okay.
ReplyDeleteAnyone ever play football at the level where QBs are calling audibles at the line? I never quite made it that far and would be interested in hearing how anyone made adjustments.
ReplyDeletethank god.
ReplyDeleteI am but the girl I'm seeing went to SC State. I've never been down so I said I'd roll.
ReplyDeleteSince we're talking Yankees, I'd have to sub Dave Winfield for Thurman Munson and Don Mattingly over Whitey Ford.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if you are being sarcastic
ReplyDelete1-3 weren't they? And they were glorious losses, too.
ReplyDeleteApparently, they're not 1-4. But shit, they've had a ton of meltdowns in the playoffs over the last decade.
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank god.
ReplyDeleteSample size, when you make it every year, they are more likely to occur.
ReplyDeleteWhen you make it one a decade, less chance to happen.
You can say the same for the Patriots.
Not sure, though this reminded me of my late father (a former church deacon, mind you), whose official nickname for Peyton Manning whenever he was on TV was "shut the fuck up and snap the goddamn ball".
ReplyDeleteI played o-line and that's the stuff I hated. I used to ask the guard next to me what this dude was talking about and he'd sigh and be like "that's for the backs and receivers".
ReplyDeleteProfessionally? Cuz I have a couple jerseys in my closet... I really don't wanna be fucked in the ass...
ReplyDeleteJust note, as a die-hard Red Sox fan, for some reason, it did not pain me at all to list a bunch of Yankee bastards.
ReplyDeleteThe Patriots have had tons of meltdowns in the playoffs. I won't deny that.
ReplyDeleteHomophobe!
ReplyDelete2001 was a good series all around, but them losing to Florida in 2003 was like a divine gift. And don't even get me started on the '04 collapse, that was almost orgasmic.
ReplyDelete
