English majors are great for things like correcting grammar on someone else’s blog.

When I come here I should be reminded of classes. Thank you.

Mayweather didn’t knock him out, just busted his nose.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I wouldn’t say Mayweather knocked out the Big Show, Big Show got on his knees and let him punch him, and Mayweather broke his nose.
And it was known they were fighting at WrestleMania 3 weeks ago.
I don’t buy that he is getting paid $20 million, I think WWE noticed the lack of pub this was getting and needed something that was splashy.
They are a public company so we will know in a few months I suppose.

@Ron: What are you in grad school for? Your page is blocked here at work.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
You would’ve done better with Meagan Good.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
49er, they picked a terrible person to be involved in this. Big Show is way past his prime. And his act the past 2 weeks has been a yawner. Even Mayweather can’t keep a smirk off his face during the 2 times he’s been on TV.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
@SVPS: I agree. Good > Fox
February 26th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Honestly, I think they have the right guys, just in the wrong roles.
Mayweather is a natural heel, plus he is an outsider, wrestling fans will always cheer for the wrestler over the boxer. He should not be the face in the fight.
WWE had to be careful who they spotlight with Mayweather because of the steroids situation, Big Show is a legimately big guy who can’t be looked at and easily labeled a steroid user.
Mayweather is a big name, but if they really did pay him $20 million they completely overpaid.

oh no, wrestling talk. whats next on here, the city of Cleveland as the new banner
February 26th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
big show vs khali is the match they should have been havin since show came back
February 26th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
49er, i have to agree with you there. Wrong roles. Good call bro.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Coming from the guy living in Tampa…white trash heaven.
/I kid
February 26th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
mrejr, that would be a great one. considering neither one of them can wrestle.
(fans chant “you can’t wrestle” while Khali is in the ring)
February 26th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Actually, I’m going for a masters in Communications so I’m not even qualified to correct grammar on blogs. Heck, I can’t even spell grammer.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Comm undergrad here, it’s a real major, no matter what my peers try to say.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
@nickp-i dont live in tampa, good try though. you know where i live
February 26th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I am looking forward to the Honkey Tonk Man vs Jake the Snake Roberts
February 26th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Communications is the basket weaving of the 21st century
February 26th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Sports Management is the basket weaving of the 21st century
Fixed.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
@RomanWarHelmet - Basket Weaving was a respected profession.

I would guess Irish lives in Orlando. Considering what few clues he leaves in all his posts.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
If he does he should go to WrestleMania.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
you dont live in Tampa irish? I was hoping I would catch you at McDintons Friday.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Since we all have presumably been in a similiar situation, I can’t believe no one is commenting on the upskirt blog…
February 26th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
macdintons yes familiar with that danny mac
February 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
TBL, thanks for the linkage.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
English major here.
Nothing makes a girl’s heart go pitter-pat quite like parallel sentence structure.

I thought Cody had bigger biscuits??
February 26th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Where on earth do you get the idea that Tampa is white trash heaven? You obviously have not been to the surrounding counties..
February 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
thank you guiness girl. they live in ohio, so you can see where the hate comes from
February 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
TK - what are you reading this semester?
February 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
TBL, were you an English major too? How many are there on the boards? I know CRM claims to be in grad school but I just figured he was really in barber college and wanted to play it off as something more important.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Damn you Hef! Cuz has a good blog.
Pabst, bowling, TV and tits.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Gonzo: I like your interests. You should also write a blog. I would subscribe.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
OMG that Dan Dakich stuff about his time at Bowling Green was absolutely hilarious!
February 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Hef, as you can see, I have no writing talent. I thought about writing a blog, but it wouldn’t be any good since I don’t do anything fun anymore (ie: no more druugs, gettin wasted at the bar and banging random chicks)
February 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
@Mike NYC: You were an English Major? You’re a little conservative, no? Did you get into a lot of arguments in your theory classes? Is that why you’re a former English Major?
February 26th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Then I won’t subscribe to your blog. I won’t read anything by anyone who no longer bangs random chicks. Good day, sir. Good day.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
@guinness: People in Ohio are a bit more cultured than those in Tampa. That’s all I’m saying…now show us your puppies.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Puppies!?!?!??!?!

i’m a phucking college drop out…how bout that!
I figured someone on here needs to be uneducated
February 26th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
English major here. I feel like entry-level journalism salaries should make up for the cost of tuition to get there.
February 26th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I knew a couple of English majors during school and always liked to tell them that they shouldn’t be able to earn a degree for a language they already speak. How tough can that possibly be to master?

Well, I do believe I know why Diablo Cody is a _former_ stripper. I count myself lucky that I never had the honor of seeing her goodies in person.

TBL - should have said B.A. in English. Graduated in ‘98.
