This is truly awesome because Yellow Ledbetter is my all-time favorite Pearl Jam song and yet, yeah, I have no idea what the fuck he’s saying through the entire song. 

Thanks to Chad Bryant for posting a link via Facebook.

Are you happy the Canucks resigned the Sedin twins? They have a decent core but I think they need something else to get them over that hump and beat Detroit and make a run for the Cup. The Blackhawks will be tough to beat now that they signed Hossa but the lost of Khabibulin hurts their goaltending. I don't think anyone has any faith in Huet.
I am a huge Rangers fan and was less than pleased with the Rangers signing Brashear and losing Orr. I don't know how I like that Gaborik will be on the team now, especially since their only playmaker (Gomez) has been shipped off to Montreal. If this fits with Torterella's style of play it may work but it's not like the Devils where they can play a system and just switch out whomever and still be competitive.

 

I think everyone knew the Sedins would re-sign, because there’s very few other teams that had the kind of cap room to take them on as a unit, and Vancouver is their home now.  That being said, they’re the core of the team and I’m very happy they’re still around.  Losing Ohlund to the Lightning obviously hurt, and I was kind of hoping that Neidermeyer might go with the Canucks instead of the Ducks as a replacement, but obviously that didn’t pan out.  Really, if they can find a good defenceman to replace Ohlund, they can always move Hodgson up to replace Sundin and they should be in good shape for next year.  Taylor Pyatt is probably gone, but that’s no big loss. 

Sorry I've been away but I promise I will have some rant-filled goodness for you tomorrow if someone can help me disinfect my home business computer.

It's got a variety of shit in there apparently. You name it Trojan horse, etc. etc. It's a Malware buffet.

Reinstalled and updated Malware Bytes and it scans fine but crashes when I try to remove.

Spybot ran through once, deleted all but 2, couldn't get it to run again, tried to reinstall and crashes on reinstallation.

Decided to try Avira Antivir Personal. Same thing, crashes on installation.

It's one particular file that continues to spread its nasty little seed every time I delete the other crap. I gotta knock it out!

Someone help!

P.S. My thoughs on the trade -- Highly pissed off to lose bumping machine Gail Kim and Shelton Benjamin. But there's more room to push Benjamin on ECW and since they seem to be trying a half-assed R-Truth push I think it's against policy to push more than one of "those kinds of people" on a brand. Which means Kofi Kingston and MVP are fucked by Mark Henry's odd addition. Happy to have Matt Hardy back (that RAW thing did not work out) but he needs to get in shape. Losing Edge and Jericho from full-time Smackdown status sucks too but at least it raises the profile of the tag titles. Intrigued by the Hart Dynasty.

Anyway guys, free my computer!

Happy Canada Day!

Hey Scott,

I tend to believe this is the real listing because Netflix wouldn't post this unless they had the info. As for dates, most descrips are like this for other WWE dvds.

 

That’s a hell of a listing right there if true.  I’m guessing it’s Flair-Steamboat from Chi-Town Rumble because they’ve already mined the other two on previous Flair releases, but any way they go is great.  RNR/Midnights from 1990 is not as vital as 87 would have been, but still really great.  Although the quality degrades as the set moves into the 90s, there’s still two ***** matches and a bunch of ****+ on there by my count, so I’d call this one worth the money just based off the matchlist.
