But not nearly as good as my 43rd.

Maybe he had to go to the bathroom.

Something you'd care to share w/ the group, Bobble?

Sorry, can't say that I've seen this Hunt guy play. Is he any good?

We shouldn't.

Sorry, but I'd keep Gandy @ LG and dump Villarrial. And it has nothing to do w/ my being a former Shippensburg Red Raider, either.

Now children.....behave.

That was a good one. Another good feud was the Moondogs vs Jarrett/Lawler.

Garea had 83 different partners, and Martel wasn't even his best one. Samoans were okay, but not one of my favorites. Afa and Sika were the best combo; once they started getting all of the cousins involved, it became a joke. Spot and Rex were solid (both are deceased now, I believe). The Midnight Express (before Stan Lane) was awesome, and would fall just oustside of my top 5. Their feud w/ the Rock N Roll Express is perhaps the best tag team feud of all time. Freebirds? They're great for entertainment. Hayes and Garvin sure did know how to work a crowd. Like the original Midnight Express, they'd fall just outside my top 5. Fuji and Saito? Well, as long as you keep Saito away from McDonald's (he was w/ Ken Patera when roid rage, and a hankerin' for Big Macs, took over), they'd be okay.

Yeah, but what 'bout his bada** partner, Dynamite Mickey Dolenz?

Okay wrestling fans, let's hear from you. I know all 7 of you are out there, so... Who's your 5 favorite tag teams of all time and why? Here's mine: The Road Warriors As good as tag team wrestling got, they were entertaining, tough, scary, and just plain brutal. The Steiner Brothers Very sound wrestlers (don't see much of that nowadays, which is why I no longer watch pro wrestling) who could bring it. The Steiner Line and the Frankensteiner were great to see. Harlem Heat Master showmen who also were tough as nails and good athletes. Their brief feud w/ Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater was some great stuff to watch. BTW, Buck and Slater were a fun tag team to watch, even though they had practically zero talent. All they did was beat people up. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard Great cheaters who also were technically sound wrestlers. They were the muscle of the Four Horsemen when they were arguably @ their meanest (remember when they broke Sting's leg?). Rock N Roll Express Not the biggest tag team, or the quickest, or the most technically sound, but man could they bring it. No matter how quick, skilled, tough, or large the opponent was, the Express could take 'em down. There's other teams I really liked also, like the Hart Foundation, Rude/Fernandez, DiBiase/Rotundo, Hall/Nash, and the Strongbows for starters.

Yeah, tenny. Thanks.

Oh if only that were true. Since I was responsible to collect the money, I wasn't able to indulge as most of the others, including Psycho Ward 86, were able to. Oh well, it's a labor of love for me.

Yeah. I do think his accuracy has improved quite a bit. I don't think he's quite as accurate a passer that Vince Young is yet, but he's a lot better than he was, plus his decision making (a problem in many of the "big games" he "choked" in previously) has improved tremendously. I hope he does well in the NFL.

The concept is sorta like fantasy football, except you draft an entire team and do all of the GM type things, like manage the salary cap, injured reserve, etc. I'm looking to see if we can get @ least 20 interested team owners to start. Details on where to inquire about joining up can be found here.

Should we have one this year, and if so, should we do a 4 round mock or 7? I don't know about both; that might be a bit much (it was brutal for me to run both a couple years ago). What say ye?

Just thought I'd bump this up again, to see if there's any interest in it. Even though the two teams I have (yeah, I'm in 2 sim leagues) both suck, I love going through the whole process. It can be time consuming @ first, to get things started, but once that's done, it really is a blast.

I hope Wade does get another shot as a head coach somewhere. I'd like to know if he has the potential to become a successful head coach, or if he's one of those guys who is better as a coordinator than as the main guy for a team.

You graduated in 1987? Hahahaha!!!! You're old!

Pittman looks like he'll be a good one, but the RB I think could end up being a steal for someone is Tony Hunt of PENN STATE. Yeah, yeah, I'm a fan, but this guy really is a great prospect. He runs very hard, is quite physical, can break tackles, is good in the open field, and is a capable receiver. If he doesn't wow everyone in workouts and @ the combine, he'll be a steal for someone. If he does, he could move into the late first/early second round (doubtful, but you never know). I say this because Pittman is a lot like Hunt, though he's better in the open field and can make people miss better than Hunt.

It could be Quinn, or they could go w/ Calvin Johnson, who really is a lot like Randy Moss, just w/out the attitude. Either way, they'll get better offensively.

I have to go w/ the crowd and say the third scenario is the best option. I think I mentioned Grubbs to you before, William, so you know I think he's a good candidate to upgrade the interior line. Blalock is also a good pick, though I wonder if he'll be available @ that point. Willis? Hey, the guy's a great athlete and I wouldn't be upset if he were the pick there, but I do like Brandon Siler about as much and I like Buster Davis even more (his performance in last year's Fiesta Bowl was incredible, even better than 2 time Butkus winner Posluszny).

Chuck Noll's gardener's hairstylist's butcher's mailman's librarian says that Parcells will quit in Dallas, then become Pittsburgh's new asst head coach/GM. I hear he's bringing his friend Soprano in as a top executive assistant.

Yeah, but who wants to wait for the actual hiring? Haven't you learned anything from being here on the Wall, Lori?

Happy belated, bro. Hopefully we'll get to catch up w/ each other later on this year.
