Velocity: I had high hopes for the main event, but the hammering of the ref distractions bits didn’t work – unless Korderas is actually turning heel and this is some very subtle foreshadowing. This kinda works if they’re showing clips on SmackDown! next week to set up a tag title program, but c’mon, it’s London and Kendrick.

I was looking at the box score, thinking to myself “this is how Griffey would do if only he got to face the Reds pitchers!” and I got to thinking about the huge HOF crisis of our time.

I was looking at the box score, thinking to myself “this is how Griffey would do if only he got to face the Reds pitchers!” and I got to thinking about the huge HOF crisis of our time. You know, the one they’ve been talking about all week.
Does being awesome (or sucking) in the WBC count towards your HOF chances?
Obviously Griffey’s going in regardless of how many RBIs he gets against South African baseballers. But what if (in an alternate universe) the tournament’s most outstanding turned out to be Miguel Tejada – do voters get to use that information when it comes to vote on him, and how much do they use it?
The official rules for voting are

The A10 should be ashamed (though someone will surely redeem themselves by bumping off GW in the A-10 tournament.)
YAY TEMPLE. Goodbye, #6 MVC team.
As an act of goodwill (and a make good for when I steal “monkey in the bank” from Sofa), I want to gentley let the good folks at weeklyvisitor (and everyone else, sure) know that, despite being on both tapings this week, I don’t think Mr. Chuck Palumbo will return to Heat or Velocity this … Continue reading “too big for the tiny screen”
As an act of goodwill (and a make good for when I steal “monkey in the bank” from Sofa), I want to gentley let the good folks at weeklyvisitor (and everyone else, sure) know that, despite being on both tapings this week, I don’t think Mr. Chuck Palumbo will return to Heat or Velocity this week. It’s was first match one each show (usually a dark match) and they’re not going to have a former employee be a local jobber on B-show if there’s any thought on bringing him back. I guess it could happen, but don’t be shocked when it does not.
If you dig dip in to the 600s on a Comcast cable system, you may get to see him tombstone Ultimo Dragon, but I think that’s the closest he’s getting to Velocity this week.
(This post needs some padding. Hmm.)
As an aside, why do I have to watch Velocity on a four inch screen? I mean, I guess it’s getting me all prepared when I impluse buy a iPod Video sooner or later, but since the content is free anyway (and who’d steal Velocity?), why can’t it pop out to it’s own Windows Media Player so I can stretch and distort it however I like? I’d like to not suffer eye strain trying to watch Scotty 2 Hotty matches, please.
Edit: So no one dimly wonders, I wrote about the lucha guys being fired on the lucha site. Really, since they’re going to keep keeping on with whatever, this just means instead of being flown in on Tuesday wherever SD! is being taped, they’ll work two shows in Queretaro or Guadalajara; I’m kinda safely figuring they weren’t being paid much by WWE. There’s no WWE catering at mexican shows, which will hurt some more than others.
I am EAGERLY awaiting next week’s Box Y Lucha to see how they spin this.

It’s pure dumb luck that none of these overlap. Now that I know when I’m free, I’m tempted to get MORE, because 15 games isn’t enough.
This post just won the award for “most likely to be a billon times bookmark worthy to me than anyone else”.
See, I think Rick and me had a staring contest to see who’d post Heat and Velocity first, and I lost. I’m not a fan from(/of?) the Saturday Night Main Event era, but if you are, you might as well check out the Heat webcast for the memories. The HOF stuff wasn’t as good – … Continue reading “Heat 03/03, Velocity 03/04”
See, I think Rick and me had a staring contest to see who’d post Heat and Velocity first, and I lost. I’m not a fan from(/of?) the Saturday Night Main Event era, but if you are, you might as well check out the Heat webcast for the memories. The HOF stuff wasn’t as good – felt much more recycled – but I do love the trend of moving beyond generic clip shows on double tapings weeks and giving the show some sort of theme.
I trashed the A-10 this week in an e-mail to Rick, so when I get my long awaited firing in the next couple days, you know what the deal was. George Washington is an overrated team with inflated win/loss record due to an amazingly pathetic out of conference schedule and a very down year for the A10. The A10 should be ashamed (though someone will surely redeem themselves by bumping off GW in the A-10 tournament.) Counter to what I just posted, there’s no way I’m picking GW to make it past the first weekend; the debate will be if I’ll pick the 13 or 14 seed they’ll face first round (3/4 is too high but what I figure) over them in the first round.
Picking chalk works! I think my plan for the NCAAs should be picking favorites all the way thru to the final four, and then flipping a coin. This is SO a first day and out Horizon bid this year. Look elsewhere for your mid-major upset. The latest ESPN.com NIT predicition (they’re now using the NCAA … Continue reading “2006 Horizon League Results”

This is SO a first day and out Horizon bid this year. Look elsewhere for your mid-major upset.
The latest ESPN.com NIT predicition (they’re now using the NCAA formula since the NCAA bought them and all) doesn’t even have Loyola in the team picture of the near misses, so this is a no-hoper. There’s a better chance of me starting a third tier tournament in the next week than LUC making the NIT.
Loyola 68, UWM 80 This one, I hate being right. The QF game with the Detroit was so erratic for both teams, I didn’t have much hope tonight. So sad. “I’d be happy to take that call too,” [Jim Whitesell] said. “We would love to play one more game. I’m going to mass [Sunday] morning.” … Continue reading “another end”

“I’d be happy to take that call too,” [Jim Whitesell] said. “We would love to play one more game. I’m going to mass [Sunday] morning.”
He then looked at Schilb and guard J.R. Blount. “We’re all going to mass together,” he said.
If I had a prayer it’d help, I’d drive down to chapel right now. The votes aren’t in, but it’s not looking good. But this is a good season, and everyone just needs to take from it what they can and make next season two games better.
