It is fascinating just how often wrestling fans on social media will jump into your mentions when they don't follow you just to argue with you. I genuinely don't know of any other fandom that does that to the extend wrestling fans do. The IWC craves conflict, which is totally on brand.

If Blue MAGA tries to convince people that this man is worthy of the presidential nomination, we're gonna have to re-educate them just like we will normal MAGA when this regime turns over.

It's pretty telling that almost all of the stories you hear about CSAM content and misconduct against children are from pastors and Christian politicians and other supposed "God-fearing" practitioners of this stuff. As we say, every accusation is a confession.

Thank goodness for working moderation on this platform because I can nip someone jumping in my mentions to explain something I didn't ask them to explain right in the bud before they can argue with me. For all the flaws of this platform, moderation is certainly not one of them.

It's cool that the AEW roster pulled together and did a tribute show so soon after the last one, but I also feel like we need to move on from the idea of "the show must go on". That was a Vinceism that should've never kept carrying on as long as it did. The show does not always have to go on.

The expected outcome. I'm surprised the games weren't more one sided. Idk if I agree with the people that want divisions abolished from MLB, but I do know that this series only served to give those people infinitely more ammo for their argument.

Since I can make anything I want for Basketball Showdown, I recently bought mystery packs to see what teams I can build. On the left is a team from a Fairfield Company box containing loose cards and packs, on the right is a team from 3 Presstine $1.50 packs. One is a little better than the other.
A team comprised of players from a Fairfield Company basketball hanger box. The players are Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaq, Joel Embiid, Kevin McHale, James Worthy, Gianni's, Dan Majerle, Pistol Pete, Mitch Richmond, Clyde the Glide, Penny Hardaway, and Darius Garland.A team comprised of players from 3 $1.50 basketball packs from Dollar Tree via Presstine Marketing. The players are Kenyon Martin, Donyell Marshall, Michael Porter Jr, Tobias Harris, Jonathan Kuminga, noted 11-12 Bobcat Corey Maggette, Juwan Howard, Ray Allen, Ron Harper, Reggie Theus, Spud Webb, and Vinny Del Negro.

Just the way that he did things in the ring that you just didn't think were possible. When he has the moniker "The Man That Gravity Forgot", it was a moniker you absolutely believed because no one could do it like him. That was true for his entire career and will forever be true.

The motor racing photo archive is about to have a lot more space to grow. Like, 13+ TB worth of space. I did a massive media server cleanup and I freed up all that space to back my photo archive up to it and allow it to grow beyond what I ever thought was possible.

I'm taking extra pleasure in Edmonton losing to a team earmarked to set a record low points total last night. not just because of the Formenton saga, but also because Babcock's fanboys kept taking personal shots at me over it, including calling me overweight. I hope they saw that loss in 4K tbh.

A second Speaking Out for wrestling would be good too, hopefully one that actually results in the people involved getting ousted for real, not just being brought back to companies to be their world champions like has happened with folks in the first one.

With hockey being back, I'm gonna start working on the cards for the 64 Team NHL concept for 2026-27. The expansion draft is done and all the last minute team changes are done. Just gotta make the cards.

I'm not fully convinced this wasn't coerced by MBS with the chatter about him trying to keep Alonso in F1 for next year. MBS playing politics to force drivers to stay in his fading series. Gotta love the corruption. Aston, if you don't build a car faster than Caddy next year, delete the team.

I prefer physical to streaming because streaming is lower quality than physical, more expensive in the long run, and easier to lose access to content with. I also won't lose anything when the streaming bubble inevitably pops and everyone loses their shirt over it because my stuff stays with me.

I've been trying to figure out my thoughts on this Knies-Marchenko swap and I think I have them now. 1. Marchenko is a good player, but he's also on a much higher cap hit than Knies after the extension, which has the potential to be an albatross if he doesn't perform in Toronto.

And even a cassette recording on MiniDisc is not analog. It's just a digital recording from an analog source. Yes, I've recorded tapes onto MiniDisc before. Wasn't that difficult, actually.

Good to see the Republicans are focusing on the real issues as per usual. I can't wait to see this party fall to their knees and never return to any power again. Let this regime be the last time they ever hold power over anything.

And make sure to ruin the lives of the sycophants that defend these types of people. That includes judges that give them favorable rulings in court. If the Brock Turner judge can get recalled, none of these other judges are sacred enough to avoid it.

Past me making the player pool for the 64 Team NHL before final free agents got signed was smart. The Knies trade has been rectified for the key players. Talbot takes Elvis' place, Elvis goes to Toronto (and in this universe gets to play again), Marchenko/Knies swap teams.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
So...... what am I gonna do about this Knies trade when it comes to my 64 Team NHL concept? I already did the expansion draft and Knies and Marchenko (and Elvis) were protected by their teams due to either the "you're among their best players" rule or "you're on IR" rule. Do I leave it be?

And you especially don't need to be highlighting what a former Sunday Night Heat alsoran that made wrestling actively worse by being on the shows he was on said about this. There's a reason he got blocked by AEW themselves. I said my piece about him. That's all the energy I care to give to him.

Time will remember PAC as a friend to all and an incredible talent. Time will also remember Val Venis as an overrated meathead that made Sunday Night Heat more unpleasant to watch by merely existing. Be like PAC. Don't be like Val Venis.

I honestly have no idea how that roster can even begin to put on a show on Wednesday with what they're feeling. They just got through dealing with some of the waves of one beloved guy being taken from us and now they have to deal with this? Has to be the most difficult thing in the world.

I don't even have any words right now. I guess I have a few: Life is fragile as hell. Enjoy what you can while you can. Tell your loved ones you love them. You never know when they'll be taken from you suddenly. Same goes for the people you watch in your favorite things. Cherish them while you can.

What sucks is all these people are doing is making it harder for their AI criticism to stick and they end up making the pro-AI crowd a little more entrenched every time they say this stuff. There's no nuance to conversations with these people, which makes discourse impossible.

Which is why I say they're either gonna go on a magical run to the ALCS/World Series or they're gonna get swept in the biggest blowout in Wild Card series history. Not a lot of in-between here.

Idk guys, I think taking the high ground with RFK Jr.'s voice sounding like he ate a shelf full of desk fans before talking might've been a mistake, no? I was side-eyeing people doing it at the start of this regime, I'm side-eyeing them even more now.

Seeing the Panthers score makes me glad I have way more important sports teams to follow in this state. NBA season is almost here, NHL season starts in a few days, I don't need to pay attention to the NFL.

The Astros are either gonna go on a magical run to the ALCS or they're gonna lose their Wild Card series in the most lopsided sweep in league history. For robbing us of a below .500 division winner, I want the latter.

I managed to get the expansion draft for my 64 Team NHL concept for 2026-27 completed, so I'm gonna start posting some 20 man rosters for it. Here is the Carolina Hurricanes. Protections were as follows: Top 6 FWDs/Top 3 DEF/Starting Goalie/anyone on IR/LTIR as of just before the preseason.

@cujorulesdtown9.bsky.social You'll probably appreciate this. I ended up finishing the expansion draft for my 64 team NHL for 2026-27 and Columbus still has a decent roster left. I protected their top 6 forwards/top 3 defensemen/starting goalie + anyone on IR/LTIR. This was their 20 man team.

This is how you vote with your wallet to make a statement. If only the average sports fan knew how to do that. Unfortunately, the average sports fan (and sports gamer) can't boycott for longer than 3 seconds, so shitty owners keep getting away with shitty things and nothing ever changes.

And the seedier corners of Wrestling Reddit are coping and seething over it, as is tradition. Once again, WWE tries to counterprogram and it backfires on them. I would say that they might finally get the hint, but this is TKO. They'll keep jamming the square peg until WWE becomes a legacy brand.

If WoTC/Hasbro make the move to do even a one card Secret Lair for Potter, that will likely be the end of Magic as a whole. They'll piss off enough players and staff to lose the whole game. I'm putting 5/1 odds on them doing it anyway hoping it won't backfire. (It will.)

If there's any one team I'm rooting for the downfall of more than Vegas last year, it's this year's Oilers. That fanbase has been toeing the line for Stan Bowman's decisions for so long now that I'm ready to see that team fail to do anything of note. Let them underachieve to miss the playoffs.
