It's bats, spiders, an angry ghost and a broken urn, but I immediately thought of:


They didn't call him "Punk" for nothing.
Good eye...indeed it was Morgan Woodward (who was in the film as well as being Jock's buddy on "Dallas").
Vince's personal misgivings aside, Cornette said it best on his podcast: McMahon would have never priced out the working-class fans that were his bread and butter.
General queation: I noticed they are playing a 7-8 match up and a 9-10 match up in opposite conferences on different nights.

Wouldn't it have made more competitive sense to have both 7-8 matches Tuesday, both 9-10 matches tonight, and both 8-seed games Friday?

Then you get:
Both 7-seeds earn equal and extra rest
Both 7-8 losers get equal and extra rest for the 8-seed game
The 9-10 winner has to go through the gauntlet (as they should)

I know these guys play back-to-backs, but still...

Pouring out a 40 seemed inappropriate, so:

No matter what anyone says, we know LeBron had knowledge and a certain level of "veto" power regarding the Luka/Street Clothes trade. And no doubt the Lakers make that deal 100 out of 100 times.

But I'd loved to have been a fly on the wall when AD found out his boo dumped him. Hopefully he gave him a "tribute video".

Street Clothes and Triple Single (thank you Sir Charles) can both STFU.

Maybe now she can afford her rent.

Who am I kidding? Who cares?
That kind of ties to "Wish You Were Here" also...

The original album cover in black shink wrap:


Then with the famous "handshake" sticker added after record stores and buyers didn't know what the album was:


And then you get David Gilmour showing up on bass for a live version of "Big Bottom"...


Coincidence? Absolutely not.

On a side note, I saw that LeBron said he was no longer interested in any ownership role in the new Las Vegas franchise.

I wonder what brought that on. Surely he would've needed partners, but still.
The Spirits of St. Louis and the Kentucky Colonels were real victims of the ABA-NBA merger along with the Flint Tropics (not so real).

The Edmonton Eskimos...Victims of CFL Political Correctness

The Ottawa Rough Riders...no longer in the CFL although greatness ensued when the played the Saskatchewan Rough Riders (who still exist)

We attended in the early 90s when it was at the Belmont.

It was dated dump in the hood then, and now it's worthless vacant land in the hood.

It's hard to believe that place was once a destination for stars (including Clark Gable and others) visiting Baton Rouge. Then again, the Beatles stayed at a hotel/motel on Chef Highway when they played Tad Gormley.
For all of the Pels self-inflicted wounds, dodging that one makes me smile.

The fact that Cousins screwed himself really makes it sweet.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of his politics or worldview either.

But the guy is a human encyclopedia of professional wrestling and definitely is right about the business/presentation being better in the past.

I remember when Bobby Eaton died how broken up Cornette was on his podcast. That's going to be a tough one.
Plus Luke Perry and Paul Reubens (although he was much older when he died) from the film version...whole universe seems cursed
A 16-game schedule was ideal.

Besides the extra wear and tear, a 17-game schedule is dumb because the schedules are uneven, unless they make every team play an international game (which they're already playing almost 10, just make it 16) and stop designating a home/away team for it.

An 18-game schedule, while inevitable, is only wanted for money. It has no other benefit.

What's funny is that they had two bye weeks for a season in the 1990s when they still had 16 games. Any move to 18 games should require a second bye week or the Players' Union is worthless.

ETA: Florio is an idiot. Besides competition issues, what about a player that needs the last game for an incentive bonus? I doubt the Union will go for that either.
