    If you are looking for the most confusing team in the tourney it might be BC

    Great great WWE Pay-Per-View. Edge losing and winning the title. The triple finisher on Cena, nice match between Orton/HBK ; and RKO/Shane. The only thing I didn't like was the ECW match, I wish Christian got involved. However, this makes two PPVs in a row we didn't regret ordering. And for any old school wrestling fans who want to laugh:

    As I said before no one ever went broke undrestimating the American public. In the late 60s and early 70s, while Roth, Updike and Heller were churning out great books, it was the likes of Jacqueline Susann, Arthur Hailey and Sidney Sheldon that were #1 on the bestseller list.

    @toolcity:


    Don't spend a lot of money on rental skis. As a new skier, you probably won't be able to tell the difference between standard rentals, and premium rentals. However, make sure you're really comfortable in your boots. Bad boots can ruin a day.


    Besides that, be ready to fall, to laugh at yourself, and to have a great time. Skiing is a blast, especially with good friends.


    Where mountain are you going to?


    Oh, and make sure you wear a wicking layer against your skin (no cotton), and have a good waterproof outer layer.

    I'm all for the NBA putting good team players on the All-Star team, but this is too much like a real game. At least having the self-serving guys like T-Mac and Vince Carter made for some good dunks. There hasn't even been a good lob pass yet.
