Yeah's he fucked on this one. Don't perform and he's gets bashed by mainstream media and most of his fan base. Perform and he gets hit with a storm of reunion talk.

NY Jets extended Sanchez and gave him 27 million in guaranteed cash. I don't get that one. They must have needed the cap space BAD.

So true and what's worse is when they do cut a promo not only are they awesome at it they make the current roster look so fucking terrible.
I never really saw John Morriosn cut a promo at leats nothing memorable but that's a guy who I thought always had the look to be a new version of HBK. never panned out obviously.
I also think they totally fucked up Jericho's return. It started off good and then fell totally flat.
Morrison's problem was that he gave the cold shoulder to Trish (a Vince favorite) at WM last year and he pretty much got jobbed out.
And yeah, I prefered the 2008 version of Jericho to this one.
This WM card actually looks pretty good with CM Punk vs Jericho, HHH-Undertaker, and Cena-Rock, and Sheamus-Daniel Bryan.
Unfortunately, half of those guys will be gone after this one and the WWE will be up shit creek. Although Rock will be wrestling at Wrestlemania 29.

The one new/current guy I could see them involving here would be Dolph Ziggler. He's one of the few guys who can wrestle and cut a promo (aside from CM Punk). Hell they might as well bring back Ric Flair for a mouthpiece role while they are at it.
Kane is basically a jobber (to the upper card stars) at this point. Jericho is gone for a Fozzy tour in the summer.
It's a sad state on the roster when 3 of the best promo guys are retired/part time wrestlers (HHH, HBK, The Rock).

Like clockwork Daniel Synder throws away draft picks. They are going to go hog wild in FA now. I think they have a couple of extra picks this year from trades (4th for Campbell and 5th for Fat Haynesworth).
Cleveland will be really screwed if someone else signs Flynn. I can't see them taking Tannehill at #4.
Nice bounty for Fisher. Let's see if he demonstrates better personnel skills in STL than TEN.

Nash and HBK are both retired. Nash could actually come back as an on air character though, unfortunately he'd probably have to be a mouthpiece for one of the bland stars the WWE is pushing.
My favorite HBK moment of the past few years was in 2005 when he did the heel turn on Hogan and produced this funny ass parody of Hogan just before their match at SummerSlam.

The whole Triple H vs Undertaler + HBK storyline is fucking great! I have no idea how this is gonna play out. There's a lot of scenarios that could play out here.
the only way I see them tarnishing Taker's record is with a total screw job thanks to HBK. Anyways this is the best lead up they've had in YEARS. Totally overshadowing the Rock vs Cena thing in my opinion.
I've read somewhere where Undertaker had surgery and feels like he can do a once a year Wrestlemania match for the next few years.
If that is the case, there is no way he loses this match to HHH. I could see the streak broken by Cena though.
Oh yeah, since this is going to be Hell in a Cell there had better be some juice flowing in that matchup. None of this PG bs.
Sting should just sign with the WWE and face Undertaker next year. He isn't getting any younger at all and he's wasting away his last few matches for a shitty TNA organization.

If they are going to release (or remaster) any old stuff, I want a bluray release of the Ritz concert or any 87-90 live performance that hasn't been previously released.

Cut day in Indy:
Melvin Bullitt, Gary Brackett, Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai and Curtis Painter were all released.
Bullitt should get a lot of play in the FA market. Under 30 and there is a weak group of safeties. He did miss 14 games last year with injury though. Brackett will probably sign with a 4-3 team as a cover 2 LB. Clark still has some value even if his play has dropped off.
Addai is injured a lot and Painter sort of useless. They're also open to trading Dwight Freeney. They should let him negotiate a new contract with the trading club. He's getting paid 14 million this year. No team will take him on with that salary.
Brandon Jacobs also got cut today from the Giants.
And in Manning watch. Today he visited the Broncos. Tomorrow he will be visiting the Cards.
#1200 Re: The Garden » Nfl Draft - Free Agency » 765 weeks ago
You stated the Dallas thing perfectly.
49ers have said they're not in the Manning sweepstakes, as they're currently working out a contract with Alex Smith and they really only have so much cap room to re-sign their own FA's and they want to sign a big name WR = Vincent Jackson -- but I'm getting the feeling they might snag Colston from the Saints. They're still really trying to re-sign Carlos Rogers.
Vincent Jackson is going to make a lot of money. I think the Bears sign him. They basically stated they want a big physical WR who can go get the ball. I guess Colston qualifies as well but he doesn't really create any yards after catch. It'll be real interesting where Colston actually ends up because I think he's more a product of the system than a great player.
If the 49ers pay Carlos Rogers close to 8-10 million dollars they will have overpaid. That front seven made the secondary look a lot better than it actually was.
The Seahawks are the dark horse to get Manning. Why I don't see it happening: the weather and the extensive travel that comes with being in Seattle. Those are actually really important things for a vet QB and one of the reasons he likes South Beach.
And I keep hearing the Dolphins STILL might draft Tannehill even if they get Manning or don't. I like that. I just hope the Seahawks don't trade up to get him.
As we get closer to the draft and teams start signing FA QB's, the Rams #2 pick is getting less and less valuable and the Vikings third is getting more and more valuable. I see the RAMS getting Kalil. Fisher can't pass on a USC player. Plus, LT is a need.
I think you actually hit on something that I think might be a dark horse factor in the Manning derby--the weather. I've read that with his type of neck surgery that the colder weather makes it worse. If that's the case, I probably downgrade both Seattle and Denver. The real interesting part is whether or not any team with an established qb (Baltimore for example) would make a run at Manning.
On the Rams and Kahlil, the more I think about it the more I think that they should just stay as 2 as well. If they move to #6 most of the premiere players will be gone and there is a pretty big gap between Kahlil and the other OT prospects.
Dwight Freeney might get cut from the Colts. They resigned Mathis and now are spending like 30 million on their starting DE's. Buyer beware though Freeney last few games on grass have been awful. He might be a good fit in ATL or SEA as I think they play on turf.
What a great upcoming week for sports in general! NFL FA starts on the 13th, the NBA trade deadline is on the 15th and the NCAA Tournament starts on the 15th as well.
