Right! And whatever became of him? :-)

I responded to Hiemoth about this—Flair would beg for mercy, and had the Horsemen to help him out—but he always seemed like he could take care of business and turn the tide at any moment. Rollins isn’t being booked that way.

Because he’a Swiss and can’t connect to the audience!

Agreed, his heel work is great. But it was amazing how he busted out a Phoenix splash on Monday and the announce team ignored it because JERN CENA had a broken nose.

As of now, Bryan says his neck is fine, WWE is shelving him because of concussion concerns. He says he’ll be back, in WWE or elsewhere.

+1, and RIP Alex Rocco.

No disagreement with what you say. But I’ll bet HBO would like the increased traffic Simmons would bring to the site. And they’d love to have his podcast as an incentive for people to get HBO Go.

Bill Maher has a blog on HBO.com, so it makes sense for Simmons to do the same.

Two things—everyone cracking on the Mets’ rotation because they “haven’t won 800 games”...please review how young they are and where they are in their careers.

Just came here to say Pat Kessler is a really solid reporter on political news and a very nice person. He often does remote live reports in front of the Minnesota State Capitol, which is 3 blocks from my house. He always says hi to us when we are walking our dogs by him—even if he is seconds away from being on air.

Beat me to it, that’s the only show I’ve found worth watching on FS1.

He’s not in the HOF because the voters are sportswriters. The guys in the 80s and 90s were convinced he set up Bob Padecky and blackballed him. There’s a clip of Paul Zimmerman saying, “Ken Stabler will NEVER get into the Hall of Fame as long as I’m alive.” Although diminished by a stroke, Dr. Z still lives. And as…

Don’t forget John Saunders. The Sports Reporters looks like Meet the Press compared to the rest of ESPN’s drivel.

Funny, but according to safety figures I just read, most fireworks injuries ARE sparkler-related. Probably because they’re not illegal in any states and are given to small children with little supervision.

Not gonna lie, I laughed.

I hope so. Of course the jerks get more attention.

Maybe people react differently when it comes to players like Puckett or Jeter as opposed to A-Rod?

I can’t recall his name—but the guy who caught Kirby Puckett’s game-winning home run in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series was escorted to the Twins’ locker room right away. Kirby asked him, “What do you want for it?” He handed it to Kirby, saying, “It’s yours, I was just holding it for awhile.”

But Rhodes has been a backstage worker for WWE for many years, and an influential one. Not to mention his sons Dustin, Cody and daughter-in-law Eden are WWE talents. He’s part of the family,
