Alright people. No excuses now. On Tuesday (the day this post was meant to go up), the critically acclaimed movie The Wrestler was released to the masses on DVD and Blu-Ray. If you haven't seen this movie yet, stop reading this damn blog post and go to your local Blockbuster and rent the damn thing. If for some reason you do not like good movies, do it for no other reason than to see former WCW *ahem* legend Ernest "The Cat" Miller as an evil Iranian. He's a baaaaaad man! Somebody call his mama!
The NFL Draft is drawing nearer and nearer, and the anticipation of the day that Braylon Comes Home is reaching it's boiling point. I hope the Giants really fleece the Browns on this one, with a Belicheck-to-Pioli type deal. I like nothing more than to see long suffering Cleveland fans bitch and moan about how they got screwed again. Big Daddy D had it right when he pulled the ultimate swerve and turned his back on the Dawg Pound and joined Steeler Nation. A swerve that big hasn't been unleashed since Hulk Hogan turned his back on WCW and joined the NWO.
For those interested, I am now trying my hand at ESPN.com's Streak For The Cash. For anyone unaware, you can make a series of picks during each sports day (ex: Deron Williams pts + asst vs. Pau Gasol pts + reb) and if your streak of correct victories goes long enough (20, I believe) than you win some cash. My early downfall has come at the hands of the Boston Marathon (who in there right mind would pick an American over a Kenyan?) and English soccer. I think I'll stick to the sports I know, and when I win the $10k, I'll be sure to give everyone who comments a dollar.
If you would like to join me in my quest for cash, sign up and we can get a little friendly competition going here.

I have been trying to get a "streak" going for awhile now. I am awful at it. Actually, more awful than an Deuce "Calling Card". My longest streak has been 5, but I usually blow it on obvious games. Like the other night, where in the hell do the Washington Mationals get off on beating the Braves...that's right the Mationals!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to check out The Wrestler as well. I loved that post a few weeks ago with the Big Boss Man...hilarious!
I'm out...

When in doubt, go with The Boss Man. That has always been my motto.
ReplyDeleteMy current streak is at one, with my hopes for 2 resting on Gil Meche against the Indians. That is my other motto. When in doubt, bet against the Tribe.
Is Bossman still alive?
ReplyDeleteI just watched a match between him and Mr. Ass at the '99 rumble. Brought back memories when he approached the ring steps and tapped his night stick on them in his attempt at intimidating his opponent like they were in prison or something.
No, Bossman is not alive anymore.
ReplyDeleteHis night stick tap reminded me Shawshank when Hadley tapped on the window when the warden told him to take him out while Andy was playing the record.
"Your mine now, Dufresne."
For the record my "swerve" was actually a package draft. Big Ben and I were recruited to Pittsburgh the same year and moved to the North Hills the same month...It goes down in history as one of the greatest packages ( out side of deuce's own package of course) in sports history. For 100 million and 70k a year. Pittsburgh gets the both of us. Not to mention 2 rings during that tenure.
