Real Deal

Hope DHB is okay. That injury looked nuts. I couldn't imagine taking a knee to the back of the head THAT hard, even with a helmet on (not to mention it was knocked off in the process). Bush did his thing again, but it would still be nice to have McFadden back. Plus, hey...I like Palmer now.

I was waiting for Daniel Bryan to cash in the briefcase right after Show stomped the chair with Henry's leg in it. Oh, and Ryder did make an appearance, to beat up Ziggler after the US title match. Ziggler sold Ryder's ridiculous "clothesline legdrop" (that's what I call it) perfectly.

Ziggler defended his belt successfully in an entertaining match against Morrison. Dolph can wrestle...probably one of my top three favorite active wrestlers right now. The Beth/Eve match sucked, except for Beth's finisher. She did it off the ropes (the Glam Slam). Pretty nice spot. I wasn't that entertained with the Survivor Series match (the big tag match...I call it the SS match because that was the entire point of the Survivor Series, back in the day). Barrett and Rhodes were in there against Orton, and Randy gave Rhodes the RKO, but Barrett was the legal man...and he picked up Orton and dropped him with the Wasteland. Sin Cara jacked up his leg during the match, legit injury, and will be out for up to nine months. Henry and Show was...uh...okay. Show jumped off the top rope (yes) with an elbow drop, didn't get the three count, stood up and prepared for his KO punch shit...and Henry gave him a low blow and lost by DQ. After the match, Henry tried to bust his leg again, but Show moved, KO'ed him, then put his leg into the chair and gave him a taste of his own medicine. Punk beat Del Rio...locked him up in that submission move (don't remember what he calls it) and made him tap. Cena and The Rock beat Awesome Truth. Rock got in a Rock Bottom, and he eventually won the match with a People's Elbow. Cena spent most of the match getting his ass kicked. Rock celebrated in the ring, asked Cena to go in there with him, and they basically celebrated together, getting different reactions from the crowd (ala Cena/Punk not too long ago), before Rock spun him around and dropped him with a Rock Bottom, ending the show.

Dude is a boss, and I wouldn't mind seeing him succeed, but I hate having to watch Denver win. One of my favorite players couldn't have gone to a worse team. Very similar to when Wayne Simien and Mario Chalmers were both drafted to the Heat. I think Denver pulls it off. It's painful to say that, though. They could even win a playoff game, but don't quote me on that, lol.

Haha, it's very evident we have the most knowledgeable basketball posters anyone can find.

Patriots' defense sucks, but it's hard to bet against Brady. Chicago would probably beat the Broncos. Other than that, the rest of those teams on the schedule...I don't know. I think Denver can beat them all.

Haha, the dude showed up unexpectedly! I think I may have told him to answer the questions here, then came on here and I said he would answer them in a podcast. My fault, everyone. So, this will be a "get to know" session, which is basically what we used to do for most of our members, haha.

Well, Buss is supposedly one that reported losses, and we've talked about this plenty of times on TLN before. Remember, it's supposedly the reason why he didn't trade Vujacic's contract for Hinrich's...instead, trading Sasha for nothing. If they negotiated all of those things in 2005, it didn't work, because salaries are worse. Veterans are getting paid far too much now (see Gooden and Stackhouse). Players supposedly take pay cuts to play on great teams, but some don't get that it means they are asking for max salary percentage increases, max years. Coaches are making far more money, some that shouldn't have a job. Last year, I had League Pass. I watch a LOT of basketball. It was amazing to see how many games contained rows and rows of empty seats, and that's huge. I'm not siding with anyone, by the way. I think both sides absolutely SUCK. I'm just not going to sit and say these teams aren't losing money, but a lot of that is their fault as well.

I lifted his ban. He's going to stop trolling here. There are no more warnings. If he returns with the same attitude, I'm deleting the entire account and banning the IP addresses, which makes it permanent. In order for this to work, though, everyone else will follow the same rules. No trolling. With that said, everyone needs to chill out and get along. If you really care about this site, all of you, you'll do that.

I don't know why Denver's made me laugh so much, but I was just cracking up.

Haha, funny. Isn't this the third time they've done this? I love it. From ESPN... http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/1115/pg2_e_afclogos_576.jpg http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/1116/pg2_graphic_sy_576.jpg
