JD Sports Forum! / NFL 2004-05

« on: September 10, 2004, 07:47 AM »

Hell of game last night to start the 2004 season of what could possibly be a glimpse of the AFC Championship game. The Pats win streak is now at 16 in a row, three short of the all time record.

The D-line needs work (Ted Washington going to the Raiders leaves a huge - no pun intended - hole). But they found a way to win, like they always do and that's all that matters. And to do it against the Colts is a plus. This loss may get into the Horses' heads and affect them. They'll always be thinking that they can't beat the Pats.

Well, it's here. The Yanks - Devil Rays are playing as I type over in Japan and Opening Day in the States is here in 5 short days.

Who you got to win? What teams will surprise people this year?

I think, much like last year, the Red Sox and Yankees will beat the sh!t out of each other once again. And I also believe if one of them falters, then Toronto could be right there lying in the wings.

My predictions:

NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Cubs
NL West: Giants
NL WC: Houston

AL East: Red Sox (got to give the love to the hometown boys, plus I think they have the better pitching staff)
AL Central: Royals
AL West: Mariners
AL WC: Yankees

Surprise teams: Toronto and Baltimore should make the AL East interesting and could possible contend, especially if the Red Sox or Yankees don't do as well as expected.

GO RED SOX!!

Modern Classifieds / DVD wanted

« on: February 27, 2004, 07:39 AM »

Does anyone have this dvd still sitting on their store shelves? Due to my complete ineptitude and laziness, I never got around to picking it up and now, of course, I want it. I know it's OOP, but figured it might be sitting on shelves in other parts of the country. If anyone can help me out, please PM. Thanks

Watto's Junk Yard / The Return of Garbage Pail Kids

« on: July 15, 2003, 11:16 AM »

That's right. If you're a child of the 80s, everyone's favorite gross out trading cards are making a comeback. Read all about it here.

I had fun collecting these back in the day. In fact I even went as far as designing some of my own. I had a composition notebook filled with my own creations, such as "Bloody Mary" (a vampire), among others. Man, I wish I knew where that notebook was.

What do you think? Another 80s property trying to recapture old glory ala GIJoe and Transformers geared towards the twentysomethings that were their original customers or are they trying to snare the GenXers of today? I think its the former, kids now a days have seen alot worse. I must admit, I'm mildly interested in checking these out.

The Bullpen / Marvel Legends Wave 5

« on: July 9, 2003, 09:17 AM »

Just thought I'd bump this up now that Wave V has been officially confirmed (I expect pics next week at SDCC)

Colossus
Red Skull
Nick Fury
Sabretooth
Blade II
Mr. Fantastic
Silver Surfer with Howard the Duck

Colossus will the be the first one I buy when these start hitting stores. I've always been a fan of the gentle Russkie and his appearance was one of the many highlights of X2, IMO.

Watto's Junk Yard / The Official HP and the Order of the Phoenix discussion thread Spoilers

« on: June 20, 2003, 10:59 AM »

Well, its about 13 hours away from the new book being released so I figured a thread was in order. There was some rumblings about this book in the "What are you reading now" thread, but figured this book, with all the hype, warranted its own thread.

I won't be picking up the book at midnight tonight but will go out to Target tomorrow morning and pick a copy up. (I believe its on sale for $14, which is more than 50% off)

I still have to finish the book I'm reading now, but will start HP & tOotP soon after that's finished.

Anyone else as excited about this as I am?

JD Sports Forum! / Teams you love to root against

« on: April 16, 2003, 02:30 PM »

Alright, we've had your favorite sports team thread and lots of team bashing in the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs thread, so we might as well bash every other sport as well

Teams I absolutely, positively loathe:
-NY Yankees
-NY Jets
-NJ Devils
-NY Mets
-NY Rangers
(notice a trend here?)
-NY Giants
-NY Islanders
-Pittsburgh Steelers
-Oakland Raiders
-Miami Dolphins
-Dallas Cowboys
-Washington Redskins

You'll notice most of the NFC and AFC East teams, which stems from the fact that the Pats and Eagles are my fav teams. And New York teams has always been the biggest rivals with Boston and Philly teams. The Devils are included here because even though they play in the cess pool that is North Jersey, they're close enough to NY to get a nod.

Teams I don't necessarily loathe, but enjoy seeing when they lose:
-Detroit Red Wings
-Buffalo Bills
-LA Lakers (not that I really care about the NBA, but I don't like them none the less)

So how about it. What teams do you love to hate?

Watto's Junk Yard / Top 500 Alternative Songs Ever

« on: March 25, 2003, 12:40 PM »

My local radio station (FNX 101.7) ran their Top 500 Alternative Songs Ever over the weekend. Click on the link for the complete list:

http://www.wfnx.com/1/big500_1.asp

There are songs that I have not heard in years. I kind of had the feeling Nirvana was going to be #1. Its a great list for fans of alternative music and a great starting point for anyone interested in some downloading.

Thoughts?
