Whoa...it's been a while....random thoughts

It's been a while since I've written on this thing...so lets see if I remember how to do it.

The NFL lockout looks like it's almost over, but lets look at it from the fan's point-of-view on this...

We've seen how the rich will get richer; the players will get more money and the owners will obviously get their money. What will the fans get? Same ticket prices, same over-priced jerseys, and same over-priced beer and food at the stadiums.

Why?

We had to put up with this stupid crap and hear how both sides complain about money. Why don't I just complain about money? Why can't they just cut back on something for us? Lower ticket prices? Lower the prices for food at a stadium? Hell, lower the price for the NFL network? I don't care...at least do something!

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 1st place in the NL Central. Yup.

CM Punk has had a Stone Cold Steve Austin-like run lately in the WWE, which rocks. I feel like wrestling needed something like this. Wrestling hasn't really been relevant since wrestlers like The Rock and Austin were wrestling in the early 2000's, so Punk's latest rant has at least sparked some interest. Jim Rome from ESPN has even offered Punk to come on his show and discuss it.

How does wrestling build on this?

Push more talent. That's really all they can do. They have so much talent that doesn't even see TV time. Get more guys on the microphone and see what they can do and how the fans react. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler are two that could really do well for the company, they just need a real chance to do it.

Ugh...Stabler is no longer on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Sad. I guess they couldn't come to terms on a contract. What is this? the NFL? Just pay the man...he's freakin' Elliot Stabler. Rumor has it is that DAs Casey Novak and Alexandra Cabot<3 will be back...

The NBA screwed up. After a great season that had a ton of storylines and a great finals series, they completely drop the ball and let themselves get in a lockout! They had the chance to catch ground on the NFL and blew it. What makes matters worse is that a few of the sports' biggest stars are leaving for Europe. Dumb.

Maybe if all the stars go to Europe, LeBron can stay state side and win a championship.

Probably not though.

Ehh...not that great. I'll get the hang of it when I start writing more. After all, it's been a while since I've done this....
