QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 02:58 PM) Rodon has some of the best pure stuff in baseball. He was a surefire #1 pick before his draft year started and a couple of teams over thought things. He has a ceiling of a workhorse version of Chris Sale. I like Fulmer a lot, but he is no where near that league in terms of ceiling. Such a thing does not exist.

Can't Gawker and Hogan both just go away?

Danks, Avi and Davidson are going to be absolute monsters this year!

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) It's a matter of what people have become used to. People are used to the Marvel tone and formula, it has conditioned them. After BvS ended, at least 30 people stayed after the credits waiting for a post credits scene, when DC has repeatedly said they won't do that in their films. The Marvel films have conditioned them to do that. People are used to going to the theater to watch a CBM and having the Marvel experience. They've been releasing at least two movies a year since 2008 and have dominated the market with their films. And let's not act like DC hasn't had good movies. Superman 1+2, Batman, Batman Returns and Forever, The Dark Knight Trilogy. They had good movies. Yes they had missed but Marvel has had some too. Let's not forget that. So all these movie critics who are paid for this stuff are just conditioned to not like these movies? Amazing how the Marvel stuff was able to get around that after Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy conditioned everyone to want the darker movies. I also don't think anyone has ever said DC hasn't had good movies or that all of Marvel's stuff has been perfect but the way you defend some of the recent DC stuff is just bizarre.

Nobody cares if these movies are lighthearted or dark it's just if they're good or bad. For the most part Marvel movies have been good and DC not so much, not much else to it.

Speaking of NXT, Emma is back. Her Evil Emma character has been fantastic so let's see how bad they screw her up this time.

They're having fun, good for them.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) What a terrible ME on raw. How was the beginning of it? Decent show? Owens and Styles Had an absolutely fantastic match until a Jericho distraction finish but I understand going that route. Besides that...god awful.

Besides Kevin Owens that show was god awful again.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) Bubby Ray needs to heel singles run. TNA is awful but one thing they absolutely killed it with was the Bully Ray character. He could be one of the top heels on the roster easily. Wish they'd brake them up. Agreed.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) I think the card is the best they could really do with Cena and Seth and Orton and Cesaro all out, it is what it's. I'm not gonna beat a dead horse by pointing out Roman getting boo'd every show or the lack of creativity. I'll just hope the matches are good. Usos-Dudleys, new day-LoN and Kalisto-Ryback are actually wrestlemania matches. The ME was always going to be what it is but they could have loaded up the under card and they botched that. Not to mention that this Shane-Taker story has just become a joke after the initial fun of Shane's return.

Vince's idea of getting creative was definitely just making everything a gimmick match. Their problem is they have no idea how to build characters or storylines so no one cares about most of these matches. I have no doubt it'll be a fun show but it's still a distant 3rd on what I'm looking forward to going to that weekend and that's kind of sad.

Sin Cara and Zack Ryder get to be in the same mania match as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, ha ha ha. Should be a fun clusterf*** though like 90 percent of the card.

Face new day already blows. Damn it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) Did they add crowd noise tonight? That's lame. Usually they don't do that s*** on Raw only Smackdown. But wouldn't surprise me either, anything to get Roman over. They didn't. It was mostly boos with the little sprinkle of cheers.

AJ Styles and Kevin Owens are good at their jobs.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) Why boo him? Just not a fan of him anymore, he jumped the shark for me during the Cena feud years back. Nothing against the guy personally but I'm just not entertained by the character at all at this point.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) I think the Rock will be on Raw tonight, unveiling whatever the hell hell be doing for Mania. But I'm reading in between the lines because again wrestling press is terrible. Can't wait to be one of like three people to boo that man at mania.

Not a pretty finish but still a pretty easy W for the shocks. Still have to make more shots going forward.

FGCU doesn't look completely overmatched. Hope they can keep it close for the 2nd half.

Wichita State, Oklahoma, Kentucky, MSU. MSU over Boomer.

Had them in my ATS pool, that counts, right?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) God, I f***ing hate Kaplan. Of course this s*** would come from him. Hey man, don't question his "phenomenal source."

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Kids in the clubhouse and on the field? Last time I looked they were called batboys and batgirls. Youngsters. Eaton said the players supported the kid and Adam. I find it ironic as one of Adam's biggest 'haters' on the site I am thoroughly in his corner on this. It's not like players don't have their kids hanging around all the time. The hypocracy of doing this to a guy who was a complete flop is amazing. I mean, if LaRoche wasn't a complete flop and actually hit .280 with 30 homers last year and 100 RBIs, you don't think this would have gotten solved? I would be in favor of the Sox reconciling the matter NOW and inviting him back and saying the kid is welcome everywhere but the kid can only be in the actual clubhouse around the batboys. He must hang out with the other kids most of the time. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...tuesday-meeting So you're making assumptions to call someone hypocritical? I don't think it works that way.
