If you count the "play-in" games as actual tournament games, then the 2014 tournament is already underway. Let's use this thread to discuss the tourney (men's and women's if you want to), brackets, picks, etc. My early impressions are that the the midwest is the toughest region and the...

Now that both systems are out, does anyone have either or both of them yet? What are your initial impressions (good and bad). What games do you have? I don't have either one yet but I'm leaning toward eventually maybe a PS4 (if I buy either). However, on my way to work this morning I drove...

Last night in the Tigers-Red Sox ALCS Game 5, Tigers fans at Comerica Park were booing Prince Fielder to the point where he was asked about it after the game. So, this thread raise the age-old fandom question: Is it acceptable to boo your team? Are you a "real fan" or "true fan" if you boo...

Here's an opinion piece from Yahoo! Sports of all places: I agree in general with all his points except for the "foreign heels" one. Right now we have ADR, and Cesaro as two foreign heels. One guy is the World Champ, other was recently US champ. Khali was a heel several years ago and we...

With news of the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft coming out by year's end, there's already been hype and disappoint from both sides. I found this interesting opinion piece in which the author thinks Sony has a great opportunity to gain a big advantage over Xbox One by getting simpler...

Let's face it. WWE is trying hard to get heel Ryback over. In my opinion, the only reason why it's kind of working is because of the fact that he's feuding with Cena, a polarizing WWE superstar. Ryback's biggest downfall is that he can't talk and he's having trouble being "hated" (partially...

Fox has confirmed, they are restarting the iconic clock! Jack Bauer returns next summer for a 12 episode run, representing a 24 hour day. I'm not sure how well this is going to work with 12 episodes representing a day. I'm assuming they're going to have to remove the "real time" aspect...

Early this morning, the latest Mars Rover, "Curiosity," successfully landed on the surface of Mars. http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/06/tech/mars-rover-curiosity/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 Over the past several years brillant pictures have been sent back and over the next 2 years, I'm sure the same will...

Is anyone watching this show? Last summer, I thought I'd give it a chance. It was summer, there was nothing else on, and it looked cool in the previews. Well, I started watching and got hooked. Last night was the 7th episode of the second season. The show has been pretty good as a whole...

Is anyone watching this? I heard about it kinda late in the game, right before the premiere so I figured I'd give it a try. I am totally hooked and have been basically from the beginning. I've never been a huge fan of Claire Danes but I like her in this show. After the shocking reveal...

Anyone watching this show? When it debuted last fall, I figured I'd give it a try as I loved the Soprances and Terence Winter is one of the writers for Boardwalk Empire. I was hooked instantly. This is a fantastic show, now in its second season. It's similar to the Sopranos but based...

Recently, there was a minor story about Vince McMahon wanting male wrestlers actual weights to be announced. So, it got me thinking. Should WWE go to boxing style weigh ins for big matches? The whole "contract signing" thing has run its course, IMO and so doing a "Weigh In" would...

I watched the 2-hour premiere and the episode from last night. Visually, the show is awesome. The CGI and special effects, including the dinosaurs and the "jungle" and Terra Nova itself are awesome for a television show. Story-wise, it's so-so. They have definitely planted the seeds of...

As we all know, WWE has really dropped the ball on the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship. These were once prestigious titles held by legendary wrestlers and now they've become nothing but an afterthought. I remember the HBK-Razor Ramon feud for the IC belt...

Have you ever wished that your favorite wrestler could just show up out of nowhere and do their finisher on someone that is annoying you at a particular time? When I used to sit in lectures in college, I'd joke with friends about how it would liven up the class and be hilarious, if all of a...

Something that hasn't really bothered me until recently is how the competitors in championship matches are introduced (specifically on PPVs). The way they are doing it now of course, is more like boxing where the champion and challenger come down to the ring with just music (no intros) then...

Last year it was confirmed by MTV that Beavis and Butthead will return to television. Yesterday at the Comic Convention in San Diego, Mike Judge answered some questions and announced that the two juvenile delinquents will return this October. He also showed this clip of one of the new...

What is a rule or rules you would change in your favorite sport to make it better? I'm talking about realistic stuff that could actually be changed. It's obvious the possession arrow monstrosity needs to be changed in college hoops. I think we can all agree on that and not much more...

Anyone watching this show? I have watched the first two episodes and it is decent. Not great but not horrible. It's funny (and ridiculous) enough to keep me interested but I'd like a little more depth and a tiny bit more seriousness with the cases, and it would be perfect. I realize the whole...

We all know this will eventually come out. Fans of the series like myself probably have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I can't ever get enough of 24 and would love to see Jack return, on the big screen. At the same time, I'm just not sure if the show's gimmick would work in the movie...
