Well now that Triple H lost the title at Wrestlemania, it seems odd that the next day McMahon announces that people will be re-drafted to the different rosters.

I got a bad feeeling Triple H will go over to SmackDown now and win that title....I swear Triple H with his world title forever, is one of the main thing that has been killing WWE.
Go Bulls!

Worst thing WWF or WWE (whatever you prefer) did was that retarted draft! Thats when I swore NEVER to watch it again.

I don't think it was the draft, I think it was the name change that was there worst move.

They had to split up the roster, they had so many wrestlers and not enough time to use them all. The split up roster gives more wrestlers a chance.

Sorry, even slow baseball games entertain me. We are lucky here in Chicago to have the greatest two pair of announcers (Chip Kerry and Steve Stone on TV, and Ron Santo and Pah Huges on Radio) and they always can keep you entertained. I guess I just love baseball that much.

Are you serious Chip is worse that Hawk and Dj! If I even watch the scrubs I turn the volume down on the TV and the radio up. I can't stand that guy.

But the combo between him and DJ is boring. Bring back Ken and we are all good.

Ken? KEN? Ken wouldn't even say "YEEESSS" after Hawk said "You can put it on the boaaard!" Well if he did, I didnt hear him.

I like the combo between Johnny Redd Kerr and Tom Dore...far more entertaining announcers for a far more entertaining sport :).

Sorry, I don't even know if Hawk and DJ can be classified as announcers. In order to announce a game, you have to speak more they do. There is like 15 seconds of silence between calls. Even their calls suck. Example- A line drive hit down the right field line "Thats a fair ball" twenty seconds of silence "He hit that ball well". At least Chip and Steve can explain the mechanics behind the pitch ex: "He hung that curve and Moises Was all over that ball."

But I agree, when I watch the Cubs I turn down the TV and turn up the radio.

Heres a conversation between Chip and Steve:

"Yeah the Cards have been playing well against the Cubbies this year; hopefully they will screw up today so we can win."

Hard drive? I think that is what it stands for.

PC is the wave of the future, no more console games. I can only hope that the industry will be huring in 10 years. PC games are always better anyways.

PC is better? I beg to differ. In order to play most of the new games out, you need to have a really good $800+ computer to get even a decent frame rate and graphics. They also take up anywhere from 700MB to 2GB of space, and even with a 100GB hard drive, you're eventually going to run out of space.

All of the next-gen consoles out right now are $100-200, and there's no need to upgrade the hardware or anything. When you want to play a game, there's no need to intall anything; just pop the disc in and play. You won't ever have to worry about running out of space for games. Now there is a limited amount of space on the memory card. A memory card can usually store save data for 15-25 games, and new ones are only $10. That's a really good price compared to $60+ for a new hard drive.

Well, Im running a 2Ghz, machine w/ 1 gig ram, Radeon 9500pro and an 80 gig HD. I can play any game out there. The graphics on PC are smoother, the controlls on pc are tighter, and the sound is better. You have so many possibilites for addons for PC including important game patches. PC's can produce higher polygon count and use anti aliasing technology.

I forever will pick a PC over any console.

Here are some tidbits from late-night radio.

On this day, the color television is born and turns 50 years old today. In other television news, Fox's "The Family Guy" is going into production and is expected to return with 22-35 new episodes. The question that remains is whether the episodes will air on Fox or on Cartoon Network. "The Family Guy" is the first show to return due to strong(2 million total) DVD sales. Look for new episodes in December 2004/January 2005.

West PoinT Bridge contest.
For all of you kids ages 13-18, This is something you might want to try. Its a software you download and then use to construct a bridge, that is structually sound, but your ranked on how cheap your bridge is. After the first round which ends april 5th, they pick 10 kids from each zone. Then you have a chance to build another bridge on a day between the hours of 1 & 4 (most schools will let you out of class) then they narrow it down to the top five, they send you all expenses paid to neew york & then they all recieve labtop pc's, then whoever wins recieves a 15,000$ scholarship to any school

I did this sophmore year of high school and placed 11th in my zone (only 10 advance )

Its hard GOOD LUCK!!

Is it just me or has the whole collective IQ of these forums gone down A LOT lately. I mean either we have A LOT of really not informed people or we have A LOT of spammers. I'm not really saying that its a bad thing.....but wait yes I am. I mean seriously there almost a joke and I can hardly take them seriously anymore. I don’t know what to do about this but I’m just addressing this because its been annoying me for sometime.
