QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) That's the problem with this 3 hour format. RAW contains too much filler in order to fill that 3rd hour...I know they won't do it because they'd take a huge revenue hit by going back down to 2 hours, but they should bite the bullet and swallow the short term loss of revenue because it will dramatically increase the quality of the product long term. Smackdown is hands down the better show. And whether that's considered just my opinion or not, it's not even close as far as I'm concerned. It's the first time since the "brand split" era that I believe I'm seeing actual competition between RAW and Smackdown, and Smackdown is just on fire. If I was on RAW, I'd be clamoring to go to Smackdown. It's not even close. 2 hours means some guys don't have to be on every week and we don't get sick of them as well. I wish both shows would have shorter angles. The fact that Alexa and Becky are still feuding baffles me since Alexa has beaten her like 5 times. Why does she keep getting rematches? She doesn't know who La Luchadora is for petes sake! I actually enjoyed what I saw of Raw last night. No authority figures and the 6 man main was good. I've bought into Braun as well.

I'm thinking of upgrading gyms. The one I go to now is cheap and a pain to go to after I get off work and walk the dog, so I only go on weekends, which feels pointless. This other big one if right outside my subdivision and I know I would go 4 or 5 times a day, but maybe a tad expensive. How much does everyone pay for their memberships? I'm thinking I would be willing to pay $80 a month but this place maybe higher.

Hope they do. All the local kids being on the first Northwestern team to make tourney would be cool.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 10:10 PM) Meanwhile, Greg McDermott and Creighton have a secret juggernaut in the Midwest. http://www.omaha.com/creighton/blog/greg-m...2581422f46.html And the big question, will Northwestern FINALLY make the NCAA Tourney? Creighton maybe without Watson now. Pulling for NW. Scott Lindsay has been great. They need to beat Wisconsin or Purdue at least once and get to b10 semis? What's non conference schedule look like?

There are just too many guys to book to waste AJ in a match vs Shane. I don't want to see that either.

Kurt Angle to HOF

It sucks both Owens and STyles will both be losing their belts at Rumble. I don't really care about Owens and that title. The booking of it and him has been trash. AJ should be champion for a long time and the rumors of where he is going into WrestleMania does not interest me in the slightest. It's a waste.

Too much time for Rodgers

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) Rodgers is going to just walk down the field now. You beat me. Ha

I'm sure Rodgers will drive them to win now.

This is gonna be a blow out, isn't it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 12:46 AM) Just finished Sneaky Pete. Holy s*** that was good Damn, your fast. Only watched 4. Dumb football slowing me down. I love it as well.

Why so insecure? Both are great QBs.

Watched 3 Sneaky Pete episodes. It's really good. I'd like to watch the whol season this weekend.

I've talked to someone in the past who thought that same thing. It was surreal.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) Not as bad as OSU. I bet we fire our coach first. If he resigns, it doesn't count in the bet. Michigan ain't firing Beilein. I can't even watch them. Hand off, ball screen, dribble around arc.

Michigan is trash. CJ Wilson is good and Wagner has potential, but their seniors stink. I like Walton but something is up with him and Irvin is another top recruit flop. Makes 1-9 from 3's but you know when he makes that 1, he'll celebrate like he won the game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) Watched the 1st episode of Sneaky Pete on Amazon a few days ago and it was pretty good. Rest of the episodes were put up yesterday I'm diving into this tonight. Liked the promos and reviews are good.

Wish he did but his son died and he didn't feel like he could dedicate himself to running. I respect his decision. He said probably the reason Obama got re-elected after that awful first debate vs Romney.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) Can't go on twitter in your car, i guess. True and probably revenue. But how often has an update guy broken a story? Any who.

Why do they still have update guys? With twitter you get up to the second sports news and scores. Waste of time now IMO

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) That's awesome. My career at Blockbuster was from 2001-2005. Pretty much my second job all through college. I loved it. I was only there 2 years but was a blast until our awesome store manager left and a biatch came in that killed the store mojo, causing the fun employees to quit and killing morale. I was there two years and she promoted someone who was there 2 months over me because he had a new kid. I quit and 2 months later they fired him for stealing out of the safe. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 01:06 PM) It's a weird market they cater to still, I guess, but I've read before that the attached pizza places (I think they all pretty much have one?) are a big part of it. They still make 'movie night' an event in and of itself that the whole family gets involved in. And while it's less convenient than streaming, new rentals can be had for cheaper than you'd pay on Amazon plus they have free kids movies. Some of it's gotta just be last-man-standing. All of their brick-and-mortar competitors are pretty much gone, both chain and small mom & pop stores. But also porn. There is a Family Video down the street and I have never been in it, nor do I see many people in there when I drive by. I used to love the video rental experience but just have no need to now. It's sad.

Um, Encino Man and In The Army Now are classics. Thank you

Nobody cares but 20 years ago this month, I started working at Blockbuster. WTF Father Time?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) It was so bad last year. Time for redemption. The finale made up for it to me. Still so sick. I just noticed that the Shane from years ago is back. That's out of nowhere.
